Hearing this, Zhuang Lao only waved his hand slightly at Xing Tianze, and the attitude he showed didn't seem to care about the identity of the latter's fifth prince.

After pointing his right finger at Xing Tianze several times, Zhuang Lao then nodded at the chessboard on the table, saying that he was really too indecisive, and without any intervention from the cabinet, he had no substantial progress in occupying such a big advantage, could he really wait until the last resort to make up his mind?

Xing Tianze's eyes slowly widened, although he knew the identity of the old man, he never thought that he would say the situation so lightly.

And it seems that he still has a chessboard and he took a step forward earlier, like the emperor tearing his face.

Zhuang Lao put down the teacup in his hand, slowly stood up from the chair, walked to the side and took out a special pair of scissors, and began to repair the precious flowers and plants in the flower pot.

At the same time, he also told Xing Tianze that although it is often said that life is like chess, is it really like a chessboard? Although he lost a game to the Fifth Prince today, if he did it again tomorrow, it would definitely be a different result.

But is it possible to start anew in life? Especially in the game between Xing Tianze and the emperor, the final victory or defeat is not only a matter of life and death between the two of them.

It also implicated all the officials involved, and their life and death almost all depended on the thoughts of Xing Tianze and the emperor.

The most important thing is the winner, who can sit on the dragon chair in Xingzhao Kingdom and take charge of the good country.

Slowly cut off a small branch, and without waiting for Xing Tianze to say anything, Zhuang Lao spoke again, the game was originally a matter of careful step by step.

Every step taken is almost a very serious matter, and it is necessary to grasp every opportunity and grasp even the slightest advantage.

But what about the game between Xing Tianze and the emperor? There are too many things to do, and even so many dead officials in the DPRK and China come to make a fuss?

The cabinet knows very well what is going on between them, but why does it keep a wait-and-see attitude? didn't even insert the slightest hand, Zhuang Lao asked Xing Tianze to think about why this point?

Then Zhuang Lao didn't even turn around, so he waved his hand at Xing Tianze, signaling that he could leave here, and said that there were still many things in the court that he needed to deal with, so don't waste time with him.

Xing Tianze originally wanted to say something more, but seeing the old man's determination, he only sighed slightly, bowed very politely to the latter's back, and then turned around and left the courtyard.

At the moment when Xing Tianze just stepped out of the gate, a shallow smile suddenly appeared on Zhuang Lao's face, and his left hand holding the branch shook slightly.

The branch suddenly came out of his hand, and then there was a muffled grunt above the roof, and a figure rolled down from above, and after falling heavily to the ground, it never moved again.

Zhuang Lao lowered his eyes and glanced at the man, and then let out a slight cough, and several guards immediately ran in from the outside and carried the body out under the former's order.

Almost an hour later, Xing Tianze returned to the Five Princes' Mansion, and after telling the situation as it was, a rich smile directly appeared on Wuji's face.

Tao Mingxi and Xing Tianze both looked at him with great confusion, not knowing what was so funny about this.

Wuxian put down the bamboo slip in his hand and shook his head, and slowly explained to the two of them that it was really smart but it was mistaken by cleverness, Zhuang Lao's meaning was already very obvious, and the cabinet almost acquiesced in the game between Xing Tianze and the emperor.

And they don't pay attention to the process at all, they just care about what the final result is, success or defeat is the attitude shown by the cabinet, and through the meaning expressed by Zhuang Lao, they seem to hope that Xing Tianze can achieve the final victory.

After Tao Mingxi understood, she looked at Xing Tianze happily, although she didn't know what the cabinet was, but to be able to get so much attention from the Fifth Prince and Wuxian was obviously not an ordinary person.

Their recognition undoubtedly gave Xing Tianze the best encouragement.

However, Xing Tianze's face did not have a happy smile at all, but his face became more and more intense, and he slowly sat down on the chair and fell into deep thought.

The living members of this generation of cabinet are all selected by the emperor one by one, if they all approve of this matter, does it mean that Xing Tianze's father thought of this back then?

Glancing at Xing Tianze's tracelessness, his mood at this time was exceptionally good, but he didn't have this kind of thought in the heart of the fifth prince, in his eyes, it seemed that the people in the cabinet must have seen the old age of the current emperor and gradually became mediocre.

Xing Tianze is now in the prime of life, and the talents he has shown are not comparable to ordinary people, so the cabinet is already beginning to consider whether the emperor's position can be replaced?

After all, if you want to compete for food in the mouths of the world's heroes, Xingzhao needs a talented and famous monarch to rule.

At this moment, Lin Yan in the Fuyang Kingdom was looking at the holy decree that had just arrived, and the emperor actually handed over the entire Shangshu Academy to him to take care of.

You must know that there has always been an extremely deep gap between the civil and military officials in Fuyang Kingdom, and the military generals feel that if they did not sacrifice their lives on the battlefield again and again to expand the territory and protect the country and the people, how could there be such a peaceful and prosperous world today?

Their merits were all earned with sweat and blood, as well as the lives of the enemy, and they were not at all comparable to the civil officials' use of literature and ink.

However, the civilian officials believed that no matter how much power a military general wielded, in the final analysis, he would only be a martial artist, and a reckless person was destined to be difficult to reach the hall of elegance in his life.

Therefore, the civil and military forces are roughly divided into two factions, and the military generals are now undoubtedly headed by Lin Yanma, who is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and most of the civil officials are headed by Lin Yuan, who obeys the position of prime minister.

However, Shangshuyuan is the most important existence for civil officials, in the past, this organization was directly for the emperor of Fuyang Kingdom, even Lin Yuan could not touch half a point.

But the emperor handed it over to Lin Yan so suddenly? This directly made him feel extremely flattered.

After reading the holy decree several times, Lin Yan even read it word by word twice, and suddenly he slapped his thigh fiercely.

The strong pain told Lin Yan that he was not dreaming at this time, and all this was true.

At this moment, Tao Mingyue happened to walk into the study with a cup of tea, and when she looked at Lin Yan who was at a loss and smiling, a deep doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Husband, what happened to make you happy like this?" Tao Mingyue stepped forward and asked suspiciously.
