Langya County.

The Chinese army battalion.

Li Si held the bamboo slip in his hand, his brows furrowed.

Ten days have passed, and they have almost turned over Tobu County, but unfortunately there are no clues. It is true that an old woman met the two young children and gave them some food, but she did not know their origin and whereabouts.

Wang Ben has been outside these days, personally leading the team to search, but unfortunately there is no gain. Tobu County alone is enough for them to find, and trying to find two young children is comparable to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lees stood up, ready to go out to get some air.

It just so happened that a middle-aged man walked in.

He was more than eight feet tall, with a tiara and a short beard. The face is white and pure, and the gestures are extremely calm and humble, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Gao, I've seen the prince."

"What's the matter with the decree?"

The person in front of him is Zhao Gao, who is now the commander of CRRC. Don't look at him as a beard, it's strange, because he wasn't a eunuch in the first place, and he has a daughter and son-in-law.

Zhao Gao came from the Hidden Palace, and his father was a sinner. He should have been humble in the world, but because of his good handwriting, he was favored by the emperor who had just taken charge of the government at that time, and he was exceptionally promoted. In the past, Zhao Gao committed a capital crime, and Shangqing Meng Yi personally tried it, and all the officials said that he was dead. However, the first emperor was exempted from the death penalty and reinstated as an official.

This wave of operations directly numbed Meng Yixiu.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Gao has a very poor relationship with Meng Yi.

In addition to Zhao Gao's ability, what is more important is that he is half of the Qin State Sect's family. Although it is not as good as those royal clans that are relatively close, it has some connections.

The emperor also needs someone to support him, and there must be a clan in the Qin court to serve as officials. Let's just say that the Zongzheng and Fengchang in Jiuqing will only choose the royal family to serve.

The position of the CRRC Fuling is not high, but it is better to be a close minister of the emperor. As the saying goes, the emperor is good at being an errand by his side, so Zhao Gao's status in the Qin court is also very high, after all, there are few people who can make an exception for the emperor to avoid death.

"Dare to ask the prince, is there any news from above?"

Zhao Gao asked directly, he was also on the dragon boat at the time, so he knew that the emperor's whereabouts were still unknown. These days, Zhao Gao will also take people out to search every once in a while.

"The affairs of the childish children are known by the government decree." Li Si didn't hide his meaning, and sighed: "Tongwu Hou has been running around so far, and just now Xuanniaowei came with news, saying that he was still searching. In my opinion, it is likely that the child is no longer in Tobu Prefecture. ”

"I see......"

"If you are the third emperor and the fifth emperor, you will be fine."

Li Si was obviously a little lacking in confidence when he said this.

The more time passes, the slimmer the chance.

But even then, they have to find it!

His relationship with Zhao Gao is okay, after all, they are both Gongzi Hu Hai's teachers, and they often deal with each other on weekdays. Hu Hai was still young, but he would take him with him every time the emperor went on tour, and Zhao Gao personally took care of him.

Zhao Gao is proficient in laws and regulations, and he is a good handwriter.

With him teaching Hu Hai, the first emperor was also more at ease.

"Have you ever thought about it for the future?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you really ...... So how? ”

"Huh?!"

Li Si's eyes changed suddenly.

Zhao Gao's meaning, how could he not understand?

However, he still said coldly: "The words of Ande and the death of the country, this is not something that the ministers should discuss!" ”

"What Gao said was for the sake of Qin and the prince. If it is decided today, the princes will rebel in the old land. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the prince needs to make a decision early, otherwise there will be great trouble! ”

Zhao continued in a low voice: "The prince has not yet been established, and there are more than twenty sons in the palace, all of whom are known to the king. The eldest son Fusu is resolute and brave, believes in people and fights, and will use Meng Yi as the prime minister when he ascends the throne. ”

Now it was Li Si's turn to be silent.

Fusu did not have a good relationship with the first emperor, and often made statements to advise the emperor in the court. He has an extremely upright personality, but whenever he thinks it is wrong, he will definitely speak out. said that last time Qin Shi Huang wanted to repair the road, Fusu advised the Qin court, and also said that the world should rest with the people at the beginning, so the abuse of the people's power will inevitably change.

Of course, how could the First Emperor listen?

Fusu's temper suddenly came up, and he knelt directly at the gate of Zhangtai Palace, and said that if the first emperor did not take back his order, he would not get up. No matter how many ministers pleaded, it was useless, and in the end, he knelt for three days, and the imperial doctor ordered Xia Wuhe to take someone away.

Therefore, the political views of Fusu and Li Si are not harmonious, and the relationship between the two is relatively poor, but they get along well with Meng Yi, the old fox.

"The servants of the Gaogu internal officials were also fortunate to be able to enter the Qin Palace with a sword and pen. After more than ten years of stewardship, I have not seen Qin remove the prime minister and the second person, and they are all killed, and I hope that the prince and the marquis will think twice! ”

Li Si was silent, and he was also planning in his heart.

Actually, what Zhao Gao said is right.

If Fusu really succeeds to the throne, he will be finished. He already disagreed with Fusu's politics, if Fusu succeeded to the throne, could he still be reused?

He finally climbed to the position of Prime Minister Zuo, and only he knew the hardships during the period. For the sake of power, he was burdened with countless infamy, but he never regretted it. For example, if it was decided today, it was the time for him to show his strength, but who would have expected that the emperor would be gone.

Seeing that Li Si was a little shaken, Zhao Gao hurriedly continued: "If the clan brothers fight, Qin will suffer heavy losses. In the past, the prince of Jin Yi was uneasy and in danger; The Qi Huan brothers competed for the throne and died as a killing. ”

"Gao was edicted to teach Hu Hai, so that he learned the law for several years, and he has never seen a mistake. Benevolence and generosity, light wealth and heavy soldiers, arguing in the heart and mouth, paying homage to the people, the sons of Qin have not been able to be heirs. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Li Si's mouth twitched.

Good guy, who do you choose Hu Hai?

What kind of virtue is Hu Hai, can he not know?

"Have you ever thought that the young son is only eleven years old?"

"Don't worry." When Zhao Gao heard this, he raised his hand with a smile and said: "The emperor ascended the throne in the past, and he was also only thirteen years old. The prince can be like the former Marquis of Wenxin, assisting the young prince to take power, and then he will be able to further become the right prime minister! ”

Zhao Gao is trying his best to win over Li Si.

Because he knows that Li Si is a powerful person.

He couldn't have done it alone. After all, he is just a small CRRC government order, and he is not even qualified to speak in the huge Qin court. But Li Si is different, he is an old minister promoted by the emperor, and his status is not bad. If he had his support, he might have been able to do a lot more securely.

"I'm afraid I can't rely on the old man."

Li Si shook his head firmly and refused.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that the chances are too slim.

If it had happened in 10 years, he would have agreed. But now the eldest son has many supporters in the Qin court, and now he is sitting in Xianyang, and his virtue is known all over the country.

On the other hand, Hu Hai, what does he have?

Don't mention virtue, the key is that you are too young!

"Don't forget, we can give you an edict!"
