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

It was indeed difficult for the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan to fully understand everyone, but he still had some understanding of some key figures. In particular, he knew the personalities, tempers and dispositions of those important figures. In particular, Yi Xiaochuan could imitate Meng Tian's handwriting vividly. So, he decided to write a letter to Qin Shihuang in the name of the dead Meng Tian.

The letter described in detail Fusu's growth experience in the northern border and Qin Shihuang's painstaking efforts. Then, he gave the letter to Wang Ben for reading. There was no need to explicitly ask Fusu to succeed to the throne, Wang Ben would naturally tend to support him. As for Li Si, it was indeed a thorny issue, but he was only concerned about his own interests. As long as an attractive condition was offered, he could change his position.

That is, after supporting Fusu to ascend the throne, he resigned from the position of prime minister in exchange for the title of nobleman and obtained a fief of 3,000 li. In this way, he could satisfy his desire for power and guarantee his wealth and glory.

In addition, Wang Ben sided with Fusu, and Li Si naturally understood that the general situation was hopeless. If he resisted stubbornly, it would only aggravate the collapse of the court. However, once the court was in chaos, Li Si, who had no military power, could not protect his life and property. He could either accept it or consider the possibility of military chaos. A new emperor appoints new ministers. This was no longer a question of whether Li Si wanted to do it or not, but a question of whether he could accept it under the actual circumstances.

This is the disadvantage of not having military power. When the throne changes, it will appear very powerless, and instead become a means of being restrained by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.

"Oh, by the way, the assassin I sent to the southern border reported that he had succeeded. Gao Yao is dead," said the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan lightly.

"What, Gao is going to die?" Yi Xiaochuan's eyes widened when he heard this, and a complex expression appeared on his face, with a hint of excitement and some disappointment. However, unlike him, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did not show too much excitement.

"Why are you so excited? This is just something that has not been confirmed yet. There is no need to be so excited. Do you really think Gao Yao died so easily?" The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan analyzed calmly.

"Huh? Didn't you just say that Gao Yao was dead?" Yi Xiaochuan asked puzzledly.

"I was talking about the assassin's report, but this kind of thing can be forged. And from my observation, this incident is very likely a drama carefully planned by Gao Yao." The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan continued to explain.

"I remember you said that the people you sent out were elite assassins. How could there be mistakes?" Yi Xiaochuan asked in confusion.

"It is possible that the person is really dead, but it is not certain whether the dead person is Gao Yao. Since you can change your appearance, Gao Yao can naturally find a substitute to die in his place." The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan deduced.

"Then why do you say that it wasn't Gao Yao who died?" After hearing the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's words, Yi Xiaochuan frowned slightly. Although he was unwilling that Gao Yao didn't die in his hands, he still didn't understand the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's words.

"Because of the reaction of the Southern Territory, although the other party has tried their best to pretend to cover up the news, it is still too stable without any surprises. It seems too stable to be true. It looks flustered, but the overall arrangement is orderly. Even no news from the mansion has been released. Little do they know that this is the biggest loophole. The Southern Territory, which has Gao Yao as its collective interest, now has no suitable successor, and the rest of the people cannot convince the public. If Gao Yao really has problems, the Southern Territory cannot really be stable, even if the other party tries their best to cover it up."

"So, you think Gao Yao faked his death?"

"That's right. As for the benefits of faking death, it can be an effective way to avoid assassination. The continuous assassinations made Gao Yao want to get a chance to breathe in this way. Maybe he was afraid. After all, when a person's life is threatened, it is understandable to take some extreme measures. Moreover, he may think that only in this way can he truly get rid of the entanglement of the pursuers and buy himself time and space to reorganize his strength or find other solutions. Of course, this is just a possibility."

"Scared? He shouldn't be." Yi Xiaochuan shook his head, disagreeing. He knew Gao Yao very well and didn't believe he would be scared by something like this.

"No, you still don't understand. What he is worried about is not himself, but the entire structure of the Southern Territory. Gao Yao has too few people available. If this assassination was only aimed at Gao Yao, it would be fine, but what if the target is everyone around him? By faking his death, he can not only save his own life, but more importantly, prevent the assassin from attacking the people around him."

"Yes, why not just kill everyone around Gao Yao?" After hearing what the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan said, Yi Xiaochuan also became excited.

"In theory, this can be done, but it may not be feasible in practice. Not to mention whether it will succeed, even if it does, the subsequent problems will be more difficult to deal with."

"Why?" Yi Xiaochuan asked puzzledly.

"It seems that you still don't know enough about this era. It's not that Gao Yao can't eliminate assassins. As long as the city of Nanhai County remains under martial law, assassins are also human beings and are equally powerless. It's just that Gao Yao himself doesn't want to do that. What do you think he is doing? He did it on purpose. He just wants to keep these assassins I sent hanging and then slowly eat them all up."

"This... Since you know all this, why are you still..." Yi Xiaochuan was a little surprised.

"Why send an assassin, right? It's to make Gao Yao think he succeeded. I did underestimate Gao Yao before, but now it's Gao Yao's turn to underestimate me. The purpose of doing this is to make Gao Yao relax his vigilance. Otherwise, how can I give him a fatal blow?" She smiled slightly, with a cunning flash in her eyes.

"And now Gao Yao died suddenly. Ignoring his real death, he just pretended to be dead. His purpose is nothing more than two. First, he felt that the assassination game could end here, because Qin Shi Huang was dead, and the original struggle had changed from a secret struggle to an open struggle. So he cleaned up the assassins and faked his own death to make us believe it. Then he would focus all his attention on the political struggle of the Qin Dynasty and have no time to take care of Gao Yao."

"Secondly, Gao Yao did this to hide his real purpose. He was stirring up trouble but didn't want us to know. We know the news from the southern border, but do you think Gao Yao, who planned the death of Qin Shi Huang, would not know the current situation in Xianyang? If he knew, how could he just sit there and wait for death?"
