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

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Gao Yao was finally ready to speak, seeing Xiao He was very satisfied with his meal.

"Mr. Xiao He, I invited you here today. Actually, my purpose is very simple. I want you to join the army. What do you think?"

At this time, Xiao He was still savoring the taste of the meal. When he heard Gao Yao's words, Xiao He's expression changed slightly. Unlike the others, if the others may have no opportunities or no suitable channels, Xiao He was an exception. He handled the affairs entrusted to him by the Qin Dynasty's county censor in an orderly manner. As a result, he was promoted to the clerk of Sishui County, and his political performance was rated as the first. The censor wanted to recommend Xiao He to the court for recruitment, but Xiao He repeatedly resigned, so he was not allowed to serve in the court.

To put it simply, the rest of the people did not have the opportunity to obtain high positions and generous salaries, while Xiao He took the initiative to refuse high positions and generous salaries, so he did not choose to enter Xianyang to take office. These are two completely different things. Xiao He is also one of the few people in Pei County that Gao Yao cannot easily touch. Xiao He's network of relationships is still very rich. If Xiao He is really touched, Gao Yao will be in great trouble if someone really investigates him. If he cannot explain clearly, Gao Yao will be in trouble. Otherwise, Gao Yao would not have taken the initiative to invite Xiao He to dinner.

"Thank you for your consideration, General. However, Xiao He's ability is limited. He can barely handle the affairs in Pei County. As for the affairs in the military camp, Xiao He is indeed not good at them. I can only let you down."

"Mr. Xiao He, why are you in such a hurry to refuse? I know you have great talent. How can a mere Pei County be enough for you to realize your ambitions? I know you have great ambitions. I don't want to enter the court. I'm afraid you are worried that there is no place for you in the court now."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Xiao He was slightly stunned. On the one hand, Xiao He was surprised by Gao Yao's praise for him. Although Xiao He thought he was very talented, what he showed was not enough for Gao Yao to have such a high evaluation of him. More importantly, Gao Yao's analysis of him was that the court was now dominated by the Legalists, and Prime Minister Li Si had almost absolute say. In this case, even if Xiao He had any ideas, he would not be able to display them.

Xiao He himself did not belong to any of the schools of thought. His ideas were more in line with reality rather than catering to a certain school. This was also a key reason why Xiao He did not agree to enter the central court. The current Qin Dynasty was dominated by the Legalists, and most of the ministers in the court were also Legalists. Xiao He's ideas would inevitably be targeted.

Such political behavior that only values ​​the prejudices between families will sooner or later bring disaster to the Qin Dynasty. That is why Xiao He was unwilling to serve in the court.

"General, you have a keen eye. Since you have discovered it, please forgive Xiao He for failing to live up to your kindness."

"Mr. Xiao He, everything depends on human effort. Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Gao Yao hopes you can help me. I wonder if you are willing?"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Xiao He was slightly stunned. He had already faintly heard the meaning behind Gao Yao's words. It seemed that Gao Yao had a completely different view on the current Qin Dynasty. This made Xiao He look up to Gao Yao.

"General, where did you get this from?"

"I think it's not difficult to see from your perspective that the world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and will eventually divide after a long period of unity. Although the divisions between the countries have lasted for hundreds of years, unification is the general trend, and the Qin Dynasty is just following the trend. I believe you know more about Qin Shihuang than I do, but you must also be aware of the problems within the Qin Dynasty. In this case, you naturally have to make good plans for the future."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Xiao He looked at Gao Yao with a look of amazement. If it weren't for the fact that this was in Gao Yao's mansion and there were only two of them, Xiao He would have even suspected that Gao Yao was thinking about rebelling.

"General, may I ask what you plan to do?"

"Right now, of course, I have to take control of the military power first. Only with military power can I do more things. That's why I want to invite you to follow me. I want to ask for permission to go to the northern border."

"In the north, the general's target is the Huns?"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Xiao He looked at Gao Yao with an incredible look, because he found it hard to believe that Gao Yao actually had such ambitions. The Qin Dynasty had always adopted a defensive counterattack approach against the Huns, otherwise why would they build the Great Wall just to resist the Huns? However, it must be said that fighting the Huns was indeed the fastest way to gain military merit.

"Yes, the Xiongnu can be said to be the best place to recruit soldiers, train soldiers, and absorb war horses. Then we can just wait for the changes in the world. Just like you don't want to get involved in the current court, the current court is basically controlled by the Legalists. Many political orders need to go through the hands of Prime Minister Li Si. If you want to gain power, you need special methods."

"General, you are indeed an extraordinary person, but my ability to redeem Xiao He is limited, and I really can't help you."

"Will you not think about it again, sir?"

Hearing that Xiao He still refused to accept his words, Gao Yao was still trying to persuade him, but in fact he had already decided to kill him. Xiao He was completely different from the little people Gao Yao had killed before. Xiao He, Cao Shen and others were the core force of Liu Bang's uprising. These people could not be left to Liu Bang, not only for the reward, but also to avoid them becoming trouble for him in the future.

"General, the truth is very simple. Although you are now a thousand men, it is not easy to go up from a thousand men to a higher level. Your idea is something that ordinary people dare not think about. Xiao He admires you, but he really can't believe it. However, if you can really do it one day, Xiao He is willing to do his best to assist you and help the world."

After hearing what Xiao He said, Gao Yao's eyes flashed with hesitation, and finally he sighed and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade, and also gave up the idea of ​​killing Xiao He. Gao Yao also understood that it was normal that his ideas were not recognized now. After all, Gao Yao's current status and position were still too low. Compared with the future described by Gao Yao, Gao Yao now was somewhat dreaming. This was completely different from the time when Liu Bang rebelled. When Liu Bang rebelled, one of the main reasons why Xiao He, Cao Shen and others followed Liu Bang in the uprising was that Qin II came to power, levied heavy taxes, and the boiling public grievances reached a peak. Uprising was already a general trend, and now Qin Shihuang was still alive, dominating the world. Revolt would be seeking death. This is why Gao Yao chose to join the Qin army now.
