The rumor has no legs, but it runs faster than the wind, no, the palace has just had an accident, and it hasn't been long before the government and the opposition have gone crazy, for a time the hearts of the Jingshi people are floating, and the dark tide is surging, obviously, if no one secretly fuels the troubles, it is impossible to cause this, and the third master who is busy with the finishing touches in the palace finally rushed back to his own house, and he didn't even take care of his breath, so he went straight to the inner courtyard study, his steps were erratic, and it was obvious that his mood was extremely anxious.

"The child knocks on his father!"

Seeing that the third master turned out from behind the screen, Hongqing, who was accompanying Chen and Li's two strategists to talk, did not dare to be the slightest slack, so he got up in a hurry, and rushed to the front, respectfully paying homage to a big salute, and Li Minquan had already stood up at the same time, bowed respectfully, and only Old Master Chen sat upright and did not move.

"Excuse me, sit down."

Although nearly an hour has passed, the third master's face is still very ugly, he waved his hand gloomily, and gave a casual order, but he did not stop at all, and walked behind the copywriter of the head by himself, and sat down with the hem of his robe.

"Thank you for your father's throne."

Hongqing knew very well where the worries in the third master's heart were, but he didn't intend to say anything, and after thanking him respectfully, he sat back in his place, and his body bowed slightly and put on a well-behaved appearance of listening to the instructions.

"Did Qing'er tell me what happened, huh?"

The third master was in a bad mood, and his words were blunt, and as soon as Bu sat down, he didn't have much nonsense, he squinted at Hongqing, and said impatiently.

"The child has already said what his father said."

The third master asked, Hongqing didn't dare not answer, but when he saw that he bowed, he had already given an answer in words.

"Well, then let's discuss it, how should this matter be resolved?"

The third master was already upset by the scene in the middle hall today, and under the mixed mood, he really didn't want to talk too much, so he went straight to the topic at the beginning.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates think that this matter is quite strange, fundamentally speaking, the fourth master and the eighth master have the motive to do this, and the culprit must not be among these two people."

Li Minquan didn't get Hongqing's prior notification this time, and he didn't know much about the whole fact, so he just knew the scene that happened in the Zhonghe Hall from Hongqing's mouth before.

"Well, this king also thinks that this should be the case, but it is difficult to draw a conclusion about who did it, and besides, this person is really not afraid of a thorough investigation when he does such a big and disobedient thing?"

The third master is shrewd by nature, and naturally he can think of such inferences, but there are not many strange things behind this move.

"It's really right for the prince to say that, this person dares to do this, he is really not afraid to investigate, and this case can't be investigated, if it weren't for this, Your Majesty wouldn't be so ignorant."

As soon as the third master asked, Li Minquan's face immediately showed a wry smile, shook his head, and explained it with hints.

"This ......"

As soon as he heard Li Minquan's words, the third master couldn't help but be stunned, and in a flash, he faintly thought of something strange, but he didn't dare to be completely sure, so he could only look at Li Minquan with an inquiring gaze, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

"The prince thinks about it, it seems that this kind of thing of sending a dead eagle at His Majesty's birthday ceremony is so appalling, and what is the difference between it and rebellion, and the partial life involves the powerful elder brother, whether it is the fourteenth master who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, or the eighth master who is powerful and wealthy, or the fourth master who is ambitious, it is not easy to mess with, plus there is also the third master You are also among them, how can this case be investigated, if Your Majesty dares to issue an edict to investigate thoroughly, no matter who is found, I am afraid that it will not be arrested, so as to do so, The chaos in the world must be inevitable, not to mention that Your Majesty will spend your old age in peace, even if you are afraid that it will be difficult to protect the whole country, in such a situation, how can Your Majesty dare to investigate, and how can you investigate? ”

Li Minquan's career as the chief strategist over the years can be regarded as thorough, and his analysis is extremely pertinent, putting aside his gradually centrifugal bad thoughts, Hongqing can't help but secretly give a thumbs up to his ability.

"I see, this kind of dog thief is really hateful, with such ill intentions, this king can't spare it, hum, let's talk about it, how should this king deal with this matter."

Li Minquan has analyzed the situation in such detail, the third master will not understand, but he can understand and understand, but the anger in his heart has not diminished much, no side, even if the old man does not check, such an evil thing happened on his birthday, and the third master, who is in charge of the overall situation, will not escape the accusations of the world, and it is inevitable that his reputation will be damaged.

"In this extraordinary period, more is better than less, everything is still based on stability, and my subordinates think that the prince has asked for the guilt since the last chapter, and it is appropriate to see how His Majesty reacts and then take care of the rest."

Although the third master's words were vague, Li Minquan understood the hidden meaning of the words as soon as he heard it, and a wry smile immediately appeared on his face, but he didn't dare to let the third master go wildly, so he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

"Well...... do you have any insights from the Master?"

The third master actually knew that this matter could not be investigated, but when he thought that his reputation was damaged, he was unwilling in his heart, and he didn't want to make a decision in a hurry about Li Minquan's proposal.

"It's getting dark!"

Old Master Chen ignored the third master's gaze for help, reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and after a long period of silence, he replied without asking.

"Dark? This ......"

The third master was counting on Old Master Chen to come up with a strange trick to find out the real murderer behind the scenes, but he never expected that Old Master Chen would come to such a sentence without a beginning or an end, and he was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously looked sideways at the sky outside the window, but when he saw that although the sun was already slanting westward, the sky was still very bright, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's a pity that it's almost dusk, Your Majesty is going to start arranging the aftermath."

For the third master's ignorance, Old Master Chen had long been surprised, and he didn't bother to talk more, so he sneered, and simply made his words clear.

"Ah, this, this, this ......"

The old man is a person with fifty out of sixty, and the third master can't help but speculate a lot about the old man's lifespan in private, but he definitely doesn't dare to announce it. Isn't that unfilial, even if everyone present is an absolute confidant, the third master doesn't want to be honest, object? The third master was reluctant, there was no side, the third master was full of hope that the old man would return to the sea as soon as possible, and under the dilemma, there was only one left.

"Hey, if the prince doesn't prepare early, I'm afraid he won't even be able to get a rich man!"

Old Master Chen knew the third master's thoughts well, and as soon as he saw him there, he knew what thoughts were turning in his heart, but he didn't reveal it, but his face was solemn, and he gave the third master a slap in the face very politely.

"The master's lesson is, little king, little king......"

As soon as he heard what Old Master Chen said, the third master's head was full of sweat and gushed out like a spring, and he had to take out a white silk from his wide sleeves, wipe a few handfuls indiscriminately, and then bowed his hand respectfully towards Old Master Chen, waiting to speak for advice, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know where to start.

"The chaos of the court situation is like this, it is the fruit of the elder brothers' opening of the mansion and the construction of teeth, as soon as today's ugly drama comes out, Your Majesty should also have an understanding in his heart, heh, if you want a smooth transition, it is time to cut the authority of the elder brothers, but it is just a matter of the ancestral system, I am afraid that Your Majesty is also in trouble in his heart, however, this matter is imperative after all, even so, the third master will take the lead."

Old Master Chen didn't embarrass the third master, and analyzed it on his own, but the suggestion he made was obviously not very good for the third master, no, as soon as what he said fell, the third master's face was gloomy, and he was reluctant to make a decision, there is no doubt that the third master is also a person who loves power, and asking him to take the lead in handing over power is like ripping the flesh of his heart, which is really unbearable.

"The master said this, but he did not dare to agree, secretly thinking that even if the prince handed over the power, I am afraid that not only can not relieve His Majesty's suspicions, but also give people the misunderstanding of being a thief, which is really suspected of being cocooned and self-bound, which is really undesirable."

Although Li Minquan saw the strangeness of the old man's failure to investigate the case, he did not see through the old man's plan to cut power, nor did he think that the old man really had the mind and determination to change the situation.

"Well, what Zicheng said is also reasonable, this king is doing right, standing upright, but he is not afraid of the children talking nonsense, it doesn't hurt to take a look at this matter."

The third master didn't want to hand over power, but when he heard Li Minquan say this, he immediately echoed it.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the child thinks that what the master said is right, rather than waiting for Huang Ma Fa to start, it is better to take advantage of the situation at this time, if Huang Ma Fa has no intention of cutting power, he will not approve his father's request, if it is really accurate, but it does not matter, just make arrangements in the ministry affairs, but not afraid of chaos."

The reason why Hongqing hesitated a few days ago was because he was worried about whether to hand over the power, but since he talked with Old Master Chen, his mind has changed.

"Well...... this matter allows the king to think about it a little more, and let's talk about it, after this matter, the fourth and eighth will have a lot of trouble."

The third master thought silently for a long time, struggling with a look of hesitation on his face, but at the end, he was still reluctant to give up the authority in his hand, and he didn't want to discuss this matter more, so he muttered and changed the topic.
