"Zhao Gao, I asked you, does Your Majesty have a will?"

When everyone heard Li Si's words, they were shocked and turned to look at Zhao Gao.

But Zhao Gao said hesitantly: "Yes...but...Your Majesty has not finished the edict, so he did not hand it over to the special envoy..."

As Li Si said before, the edict written by Ying Zheng was incomplete.

Normal edicts are always drafted by the emperor, and then handed over to the prime minister, or important officials of the empire to improve, revise, and then stamp the jade seal, and handed over to the Special Office for safekeeping.

However, Ying Zheng omitted all the process.

Zhao Gao did not understand the true purpose of this, nor did Li Si not understand, so they understood the edict as an incomplete edict.

In fact, even if Ying Zheng’s edict is incomplete, the contents in it are fine, it is still legal.

If Li Si insisted on Ying Zheng's edict, Zhao Gao would have no choice.

But if Li Si doesn't insist, that's another matter.

"Since the edict is incomplete, I think it's not too late to go back and discuss it." Zheng State said with difficulty.

"Yes! The most urgent thing is to search for Your Majesty and search for Li Anjun!" Dunruo agreed.

Li Si frowned and nodded, "Okay."

From Zhao Gao's residence to find him, he had been tangling in his heart: Why didn't the First Emperor discuss with his ministers before writing the edict? Is he not wanting to discuss it, or is there another reason?

If he and Feng Quji were suspected by the First Emperor for crossing the river mouth, then there would be no problem with Zheng State. Why didn’t even Zheng State know about this?

Could it be that Emperor Shiqi had long suspected that Zhao Gao had any problems?

If this is true, wouldn’t the fate of my own waiting for others become a mystery?

Thinking of this, Li Si only felt his scalp numb and did not dare to think further. He could only shelve the edict and change the topic: "The most difficult thing about setting off for the Eastern Tour is to confirm the rumors of His Majesty's disappearance!"

"I'm afraid that the Zhao Mansion Order has to plan a strategy for this matter." Dunruo frowned and looked at Zhao Gao.

Zheng Guo also echoed: "I also feel that others are not familiar with His Majesty's daily life."

"Is there any opinion on Zhao's Mansion? But it's okay. We can discuss everything." Feng Quji was obviously a little impatient.

Zhao Gao glanced at Feng Quji and carefully ruthlessly said, "I am just a small CSKA Mansion Order. Just listen to the opinions of all the ministers. I dare not speak out, and I will be the two prime ministers to decide!"

"Zhao Gao! We are wise people don't say secret words!"

Feng Quji was originally a bad temper. He had previously been forced to cooperate with Zhao Gao because of Li Si. Now the First Emperor is missing, Zhao Kun committed suicide by jumping into the river. He also let go and didn't care about anything.

Hearing Zhao Gao's intentional refusal, he immediately said sternly: "In times of crisis in the country, everyone should work together. What do you mean by Zhao Gao?"

“……”

Zhao Gao didn't expect Feng Quji to change his face so quickly. He was furious, but he replied respectfully: "Prime Minister Feng is so reproaching, so I can only speak out for the courage!"

"explain!"

"Zhao Gao thought, it is not difficult to prove that Your Majesty is missing. Just let the ministers know that Your Majesty is in the carriage. There are three real difficulties. First, the county magistrates along the way must meet Your Majesty. Two prime ministers must be entangled. If they can be seen, they will not see them;

Secondly, the emperor and the co-pilot were not allowed to take the flight attendant. Zhao Gao meant that the prince Hu Hai should take the main carriage among the six-horse chariots. The emperor acted every day, and Zhao Gao would communicate with Hu Hai in advance. If there was a county magistrate meeting, it would be ensured that nothing happened.

Third, after spring is warm and flowers bloom, it is hot summer. When passing by Langya, the Prime Minister needs to send someone to prepare seafood and abalone, and the amount must be large."

"Seafood abalone? Why is this?" Dun Wu asked in confusion.

Zheng Guo whispered: "Seafood and abalone smelly, and ordinary people don't feel uncomfortable when they smell it, so they won't get close to you easily!"

"I see."

Suddenly weak and suddenly realized.

Li Si made a quick decision and said, "The seafood and abalone matters are handled by Dun Ruo Shangqing, and Zhao Gao is responsible for all matters in the emperor's carriage. As for the county magistrates along the way, the minister and Prime Minister Feng will deal with them together."

As he said that, he glanced at everyone: "Do you have any objections to this arrangement?"

"No objection!"

"Okay, the matter has been finalized. You can prepare it yourself, but if there are important things, please discuss and decide."

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone slowly stood up and left the hall one after another.

.........

Zhangcao Village is located in the eastern section of the upper reaches of the Zhang River.

Since the First Emperor issued a decree before the New Year, all people involved in river dredging can catch fish and salvage within a limited time.

Just now, as the limited time is about to pass, every household is driving a torch to collect fish and pulling them out of the net overnight.

Zhou Kui's family of four, except for the eldest brother who was in labor service, only his mother and two younger sisters were left in the family.

After the eldest brother left, the burden of the family was placed on him, and others had the help of collecting fish and laying the net, so he could only rely on himself.

At this time, Zhou Kui was wearing thin coats and facing the cold wind, exploring the morning cage in the river.

I heard the sound of water clattering and resting by the river. A basket of bamboo nets was lifted up and put down again.

The mother and sister were standing on the river bank with torches, looking around with their feet, with their voices clearly showing tension.

"Akui, have you caught the fish?" a woman asked nervously.

Zhou Kui responded without replying: "I caught it, there are many!"

"Hahaha, Brother Kui is so awesome!"

"Catch more!"

When Zhou Kui said he had caught the fish, his two sisters were so happy that they danced.

The mother beside her quickly stopped them; "Don't yell, be careful to scare the fish away."

"ah?"

When the two sisters heard this, they were startled and quickly covered their mouths and stared at the river with wide eyes, as if they were watching the fish run away and look very cute.

At this time, Zhou Kui picked up the bamboo cage and showed it to his two sisters and mother: "Mom, sister, look, the harvest is quite good. The cage is almost half filled, and it is about thirty kilograms.

, not only fish, but also shrimps... "

As he said that, he teased again: "These shrimps are all big and look very stubborn!"

"Kui'er, be careful, don't be bitten by the shrimp claws!" The woman was full of joy, but she still reminded Zhou Kui with concern.

"Mom, don't worry, no matter how powerful this shrimp is, it is no match for your son. Let's take it to the pot tonight!"

Zhou Kui said while placing the bamboo cage on the shore and said to the woman and her two sisters: "The wind is strong by the river. Find a place to avoid the wind. When I carry two bamboo cages, we will go back to cook.

!”

When the woman heard this, she did not immediately take her daughter to shelter her wind, but instead asked in confusion: "Didn't you see you carrying five bamboo cages? Why are there two bamboo cages?"

"The Cao family's farm rarely kills pigs. The child helps for a long time and asks for some pig's internal organs, so he bought two more bamboo cages."

Speaking of this, Zhou Kui sighed and said to the woman: "My father left early, and the family is entirely supported by his elder brother. Now that the elder brother is in labor service, the child must support this family. Mother, don't worry, wait for the child to carry two more cages, and say

Maybe you will get another twenty or thirty kilograms of fish and shrimps..."

"You can still have twenty or thirty kilograms of fish and shrimp..."

The woman showed joy on her face, and she was excited in her voice. She hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, explore slowly, my mother will take her sister to avoid the river wind for a while, and add these twenty or thirty kilograms of fish and shrimps to exchange for some money.

, it’s also good to buy some clothes for Kuier and her sister!”

"I also need to buy it!"

“Everything is done, everything is done!”

Zhou Kui smiled with satisfaction, then raised his hand and said, "Mom, come over quickly, don't freeze the sisters. The child will carry two more cages to ensure that the harvest is great."

In fact, the two cages were in the water a bit deep. He was afraid that the woman would be frightened when she saw it, so he sent the woman and her sister away.

This is true for sons. When faced with the care of their relatives, they always report good news but not bad news.

Seeing that his mother and her sister were taking shelter from the wind, Zhou Kui held a torch with one hand and groped through the bamboo cage with the other. He could only hear the sound of water clattering and the river wind swaying.

Zhou Kui remembered clearly the location of the bamboo cage in the morning, but when he was exploring at night, there were continuous deviations, which he understood as the reason for the river washing.

But he had been exploring the last two bamboo cages for nearly a quarter of an hour, but never touched them. He couldn't help but guess: Could it be that someone stole the bamboo cage, or the bamboo cage was removed from the line and washed away by the river?

Just when Zhou Kui was feeling anxious and his hands were numb, his two sisters sitting in the grass sheltered from the wind suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Kui, look, why is our cage crooked?"

"Um?"

Zhou Kui frowned, then looked back and found that his cage was crooked.

"What's going on?"

"I've obviously put it down just now?"

Although he was a little doubtful, Zhou Kui stopped exploring the remaining bamboo cages and approached the tilted bamboo cages.

At this moment, the woman on the shore suddenly exclaimed, "Kui'er, there are people, there are people in the river, look at it..."

To be honest, when I heard the four words "There are people in the river" in the middle of the night, I would be frightened to my scalp and sweating profusely.

Although Zhou Kui was famous in the village, he was still frightened when he heard his mother's words and almost fell into the river.
To be continued...
