Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Fusu originally thought that Meng Yi protected him to ascend the throne, but in fact, in the subsequent contacts, he began to discover that many things were actually under the control of Meng Yi, and the enfeoffment of the kings was indeed carried out according to his own ideas, but the result was completely different from what Fusu had imagined. He originally thought that after the enfeoffment of the kings, the world would be stable and the situation of the six kingdoms would be restored. But in fact, ten kings were enfeoffed, and the fiefs also underwent many changes. The expected stability did not appear.

This situation did not successfully stabilize the rebel forces throughout the world. It could only be said that it slowed down the attacks of these rebel forces on the Qin army. Coupled with the current discussions in the court, this made Fusu feel as if he was being used. He became a tool of Meng Yi to deal with Gao Yao. After all, many of his decisions now were made after discussing with Meng Yi. If Meng Yi said no, Fusu gave up. This made Fusu begin to doubt whether he was really being used by Meng Yi.

He recalled the agreement he had made with Meng Yi and the feelings between them, but now it seemed that everything had changed. Meng Yi seemed to have gained more power and influence, while his position became increasingly passive.

As Fusu ascended the throne and gained power, he gradually realized that Meng Yi's control over him was not just for protection, but had a deeper purpose. He began to think that if he continued to be led by Meng Yi,

But now, regarding the matter of the southern border, Meng Yi said with great certainty that the person who ascended the throne was in name only, Prince Gao, but in fact it was Gao Yao. This made Fusu also really suspicious. If it were not for Meng Yi's efforts to ensure that he returned to Xianyang to ascend the throne, Fusu would probably not be asking Meng Yi whether he had evidence.

This is a common problem among people. Before he obtained the throne, Fusu was magnanimous and benevolent, and he was the image of a very benevolent future monarch. However, many people in all dynasties were like this.

What's more, the Qin Dynasty was quite special. Although Fusu was the eldest son, he was never really allowed to participate in too much military power or the handover of political power. Even when he stood in the court, he mainly observed and learned. On the one hand, this was due to Fusu's own ability. His ability was not recognized by Qin Shihuang. How could Qin Shihuang give Fusu power?

On the other hand, it was also because Qin Shihuang and Fusu had different ways of thinking. Qin Shihuang never thought that Fusu was right. It was just that Qin Shihuang was not a person who could take care of children, and he was not in the mood to explain to Fusu at all, so he used tough tactics to make Fusu bow his head, but in fact, some things did not go as planned.

"Your Majesty, and all the ministers, Meng Yi's words are not without reason." Meng Yi bowed and said, "This is not a personal conflict between Meng Yi and Gao Yao, but the current Southern Territory may really have the strength to become king."

Meng Yi looked around and saw everyone's shocked expressions. He continued, "The Southern Territory now has 300,000 soldiers, and these soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped. Not only do they have their own army, they also control the economy and resources of the Southern Territory."

"More than three years ago, the entire southern border stopped receiving any salary from the court. All the money and grain were distributed by Gao Yao. Gao Yao was ambitious and tried his best to win over the hearts of the soldiers and people in the southern border. In addition, after a few years of peace, the grain reserves exceeded one million dan."

Meng Yi looked at everyone with a sharp gaze and said firmly: "Looking at the world, Meng Yi would like to ask you, there are not many people with the strength of the current Southern Territory."

He paused, and then continued, "Now, in order to justify his actions, he has deliberately called himself the King of Qin in the name of Prince Gao. His evil ambitions are obvious. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty send troops to conquer the world immediately before Gao Yao becomes powerful."

"First, this can avoid political turmoil. Second, it can quickly eliminate those who attempt to overthrow our Great Qin in the South. The last point is also very critical. Your Majesty's decree to enfeoff the kings has been issued, but these rebels have not responded much. The main reason is that they are all waiting to see whether Your Majesty is really benevolent or whether Your Majesty really dares not to fight or cannot fight. If we do not take action, they are likely to continue to expand their power and even unite to fight against the court. If this continues, it will not only affect the stability of the country, but may also trigger larger-scale wars. Therefore, I believe that only through the use of force can we solve the problem, eliminate hidden dangers, and ensure the long-term stability of the country."

"It is imperative to conquer the southern border and recapture the southern border, Your Majesty. Only by showing the might of our Qin army can we make the princes of the world submit and avoid another chaos in the world, where the princes conquer each other and make them grateful to Your Majesty!"

"Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to send troops to conquer the southern border. I am willing to lead the army. This is not for my own selfish reasons, but for the sake of our Great Qin. I am willing to sign a military order. If the southern border cannot be taken, I am willing to die to apologize!"

As soon as the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan said this, many people in the court were infected by the momentum of his words. Even Fusu himself was somewhat touched.

In the entire court, the only person who directly saw through the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's actions was Li Si. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did make a promise to Li Si, allowing Li Si to be qualified to enfeoff the kings, but definitely not now. Li Si also understood that if he enfeoffed the kings at this time, he would become the target of public criticism. The Qin Dynasty had not yet been destroyed, but he would be the first to be destroyed.

And what he said just now did sound reasonable and well-founded, and even gave people a sense that Meng Yi wished he was the most loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty. In fact, Li Si could see that the other party's purpose was to send troops to the southern border and prepare to destroy the southern border. If they really wanted to fight, they would definitely have to eliminate the rebels near Xianyang first, starting from the near and going far, which was the right thing to do.

Now, they are looking for the most powerful one to start a war. There are obviously better options, but the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan just doesn't mention it. The other party's claiming of the king is useless except for obtaining a seemingly reasonable title, and will also become the target of the rebels. The Qin Dynasty obviously has a more reliable way, but it chooses such a risky thing.

Moreover, Li Si knew another thing, that is, when Fusu ascended the throne, Gao Yao had submitted an order to Xianyang to request a battle to quell the uprising army, but this matter was directly suppressed by Meng Yi, and no one knew about it. Even Li Si knew about it because when Gao Yao requested to quell the uprising army, he also sent a secret letter to Li Si.
