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

Just when Gao Yao was about to withdraw his troops, a messenger brought him a letter from Nanhai County. Gao Yao took the letter and checked it and found that it was from Xiao He. When Gao Yao read the content of the letter, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Hahaha...Okay, okay, prepare your horses immediately and return to Nanhai County."

"Here"

The content of the letter was not complicated. The main point was that Master Gao had already arrived in the southern border. This news alone was enough to shock Gao Yao.

Gao Yao had already arranged for people to invite Gongzi Gao, but there had been no response. However, Gao Yao did not give up, but continued to send people to lobby Gongzi Gao non-stop, and at the same time gave various gifts, and even brought people who were acquainted with Gongzi Gao to the southern border to experience it for real, and then sent people back to explain to Gongzi Gao. It has been more than half a year, and Gongzi Gao was finally persuaded.

The reason why Gao Yao targeted Gongzi Gao was very simple. It was mainly because the conditions were right. First of all, the status of the birth mother could not be too low. She could not be a child born by some common palace maid. At the very least, she had to be a female relative of an aristocratic family of the six countries.

Secondly, they cannot be too young. There are seven or eight young princes who are still children. Such princes are useless. Not to mention Gao Yao, even some officials in Xianyang may not know the names of these princes.

Moreover, even Fusu could not be chosen. Fusu was too close to the Meng family. Many people thought that Fusu should be the successor to Qin Shihuang's position in the future. Moreover, Fusu was also in the northern border, so he could not be chosen at all.

You have to meet the requirements in terms of identity and age, and have a certain degree of fame. It doesn't have to be too high, as long as people can confirm that you are indeed the bloodline of Qin Shi Huang and are qualified to inherit the throne. And you only have the qualifications, not the opportunity.

Only those who meet all these conditions can become Gao Yao's choice, and Gongzi Gao is Gao Yao's choice. He has an identity and is well-known. He has nothing to criticize. He got married early and already has children. In all aspects, he is a relatively suitable candidate.

Only such a person can be used by Gao Yao in the subsequent wars. Gongzi Gao is just the most suitable one, and the least noticeable one among the qualified people. However, there has been no definite news until now. Now he has appeared in the southern border. This is undoubtedly very good news for Gao Yao. It is also a very important part of Gao Yao's future plan.

It was not necessary to have Prince Gao, but it was more in line with his own interests to have Prince Gao. Gao Yao had rushed back to Nanhai County in just three days, and all the rest of the matters could be handed over to Cao Shen. After all, the rest was mainly about the aftermath and cleaning up similar barbarian tribes.

When Gao Yao returned to the capital of Nanhai County, Xiao He, who had received the news, had already been waiting at the gate of Chengmen.

"My Lord," seeing Gao Yao approaching the city gate, Xiao He immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Where is Master Gao?" Gao Yao asked directly when he saw Xiao He. After all, he had rushed back in such a hurry just for this matter.

"We have arranged for him to stay at the post station. The standard is no less than the standard we used to entertain Hu Hai last time."

"Did you bring any entourage?"

"It has been confirmed that there are only a dozen servants, and there are no other tails."

Listening to Xiao He's arrangement, Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction, especially the fact that there was no tail behind him was very important. After all, it was impossible for Gao Yao to have too many spies in Xianyang. The biggest spy in Xianyang was the store he opened, selling some special products from the southern border. He spent a lot of money to smooth the relationship, which was the reason why he was able to settle down in Xianyang.

For Gao Yao, making money is not important. What is important is that he can collect all kinds of information in Xianyang. The people he mainly deals with are not big shots, but servants in the homes of some court officials. By collecting information in this way, a single piece of information is not important, but the combined information can often determine many things.

Whether there is a tail behind Gongzi Gao can roughly infer whether this matter is the result of Gongzi Gao's own decision or someone's deliberate promotion behind the scenes. However, from the current point of view, it should be that his activities have produced results.

"After all, he is a young man with a family, and his mentality is different from Hu Hai. The main thing is to cater to his preferences. Do you understand?"

"Here"

"I'll go home and pack up first, then come with me to see Master Gao."

"Here"

After all, the other party was also a prince, and although Gao Yao was already a general in charge of the southern border, in fact, whether in terms of military merit or position, Gao Yao's status was still far behind. According to his actual military merit, it was very difficult for Gao Yao to be in Zhao Tuo's position, not to mention his current position as a general.

The main thing is that this identity is just a temporary one. Even if Gao Yao completely pacifies the southern border, it is good enough to keep his current position. There is no need to think about promotion. If it were not for Gao Yao's promise, how could Qin Shihuang give Gao Yao this opportunity?

After all, the degree of this promise must be just right. On the one hand, it must not arouse Qin Shi Huang's suspicion that Gao Yao has too much influence in the southern border. Otherwise, let alone getting this position, Qin Shi Huang will be able to arrest Gao Yao at the first opportunity. Even if he is not killed, Gao Yao will never have the chance to return to the southern border in this life.

At the same time, this guarantee cannot be too bad. If it is too bad, even Qin Shi Huang cannot be impressed, and naturally, there is no way to obtain this position. It is not so easy to get this scale just right.

This is why Xiao He, Cao Shen and others had tried to persuade him when he went to Xianyang. However, Gao Yao knew that he did not have the destiny of Yi Xiaochuan, who would help him wherever he went. If he wanted to get a chance, he could only try his best.

If he still follows the plan, the final result is likely to be that after Yi Xiaochuan gains power, or when Fusu ascends the throne, he will definitely flee because of his relationship with the Meng family. He may even have to travel overseas. How could Gao Yao be willing to accept this? He has worked diligently and even dared not slack off in this world, but in the end he still has to end up with such a result. Gao Yao naturally would not be willing to accept this. That's why he went to Xianyang in person, and saw the result today.
