Being able to supervise the country is a great benefit to the third prince.
But at this time, Zhao Xingzhi didn't look too happy.
"You said," Zhao Xingzhi's eyes were full of doubts, "is the palace really haunted?"
Luo Shuwei, who was standing in front of Zhao Xingzhi and was also a confidant of the third prince, was also puzzled. "But if it is said to be haunted, only His Majesty and the Crown Prince were injured in the palace."
Could it be that this evil ghost still specializes in staring at people to hurt them?
"Whether it's true or not, now this palace has become the biggest beneficiary." Zhao Xingzhi's eyes darkened, showing no joy at all.
"Your Highness is worried..."
Zhao Xingzhi twitched his lips, "It's not that I'm worried, but that they have begun to doubt me."
In the past few days, courtiers have been testing him overtly and covertly, and there have been many more spies in the palace.
Moreover, "This palace feels that it is more likely that this matter is man-made."
Luo Shuwei took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, whether it is true or false, the benefits of having Your Highness oversee the country this time still outweigh the disadvantages."
"Yes," Zhao Xingzhi clasped one hand behind his back, "What I am worried about is that if this matter is man-made, what kind of back-up plan does the person behind it have?"
As he spoke, he walked back and forth anxiously, "Furthermore, if it is man-made, what is the purpose of the person behind the scenes?"
Luo Shuwei immediately understood what Zhao Xingzhi's biggest worry was.
"Your Highness is worried that someone has set up a trap for this matter, and the purpose of the trap is His Highness?"
"Now, in everyone's eyes, if anything happens to the father and the prince, this palace is the biggest beneficiary, and..." Zhao Xingzhi stopped and frowned.
"Except for this palace, no one else will benefit from this incident."
The father and the prince were both injured, and the fourth child was not interested in government affairs. No matter how things changed in the court, no one would think of him.
So who would come out like this?
Or is it just that he is suspicious of ghosts, but he is really causing trouble?
Zhao Xingzhi pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "You should be careful. In short, don't fall into other people's traps."
Luo Shuwei cupped his hands and responded: "I understand, I understand."
He looked at Zhao Xingzhi's frowning expression and comforted him: "Your Highness, please relax, nature is the best if it is not man-made. If it is man-made, we will just wait and take action."
Zhao Xingzhi nodded, that was the only plan for now. Only by seeing what happens next could we judge whether it was man-made or not.
"You go to the people to find some eminent monks or Taoist priests who are highly virtuous and respected, and ask them to come to the palace to drive away ghosts."
"I'm going to go now."
Regardless of whether he is a fierce ghost or not, Zhao Xingzhi's attitude must be done.
Even if he didn't really want the prince to wake up, he had to pretend to be so.
After Luo Shuwei left, Zhao Xingzhi was still thinking about this matter.
Suddenly, Zhao Xingzhi stopped and his eyes froze.
Just now, he only thought that Zhao Xingzhi did not care about the government affairs. Even if something happened to his father and the prince, Zhao Xingzhi would not be able to interfere in the government affairs.
But what if something happens to him too?
If this is a game against him, all the blame will be pointed at him in the end.
The father was injured, the prince did not wake up, and he was involved in these things.
Compared with other princes, although Zhao Xingzhi usually ignored government affairs, his talents were obvious to all.
Moreover, Zhao Xingzhi still had the military merit of destroying Beili.
Does Zhao Xingzhi really not care about government affairs at all and have no interest in power?
Furthermore, the relationship between Zhao Xingzhi and Zhao Jin is also very good.
Zhao Xingzhi's eyes flashed, and he walked out quickly, opened the door, and said in a deep voice: "Go and call Chang Shi."
The guard guarding the door immediately took the order and went down.
The chief historian of the Third Prince's Mansion came in quickly, "Your Highness."
Zhao Xingzhi sat behind the desk and said, "Go and check Zhao Xingzhi and Zhao Jin, especially if they have done anything unusual recently."
Not only the third prince took action because of the incident between Zhao Qian and Zhao Xingyu.
In the past few days, almost all the noble families in Bianzhou City have been acting secretly.
In the entire Bianzhou City, every family and faction has their own thoughts and ideas.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
After night falls, the streets are quiet.
A carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After a while, an old man wearing a broad robe and long sleeves walked out of the carriage.
"Knock on the door." After the old man stood firm, he turned his head and said to the boy beside him.
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"
A dull knock on the door sounded.
Soon, a response came from the house, "Here we come!"
The servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened a crack in the door and stuck his head out, "You are..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the old man walking slowly up the stairs.
"Master Xu?"
The boy looked slightly startled and quickly opened the door and turned sideways, "Master Xu, please come in quickly."
Xu Zihao nodded slightly and led only one boy to a small courtyard by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cen Qianyi was standing in front of the door, stroking his long beard.
"Taifu." Seeing Xu Zihao, he arched his hands forward.
"Prime Minister, excuse me." Xu Zihao returned the greeting.
Cen Qianyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words are serious, please come in."
After saying this, Cen Qianyi entered the house first, followed closely by Xu Zihao.
After the two sat down, the attendant served tea.
Xu Zihao first picked up a cup of tea and moistened his throat, then sighed and said: "I'm really sorry for bothering you late at night!"
He reached out and touched his chest, "It's quite unsettling!"
"Is the Taifu concerned about the haunting in the palace?"
"That's exactly what happened."
Cen Qianyi couldn't help but frown, "I've been bothered by this matter for a long time."
"Fortunately, His Majesty is awake now and just needs to recuperate."
"But," Xu Zihao leaned forward slightly, "Does the Prime Minister think this is really a trouble caused by evil spirits?"
Cen Qianyi remained silent.
Seeing this, Xu Zihao knew that Cen Qianyi didn't believe it either. He put his hands on his thighs, tilted his head slightly with a solemn expression, "I'm afraid, there is someone behind this!"
"But now, we don't know who the person behind it is, and we don't know what the other party's purpose is, what they want to do, and whether there is any back-up plan."
Xu Zihao slapped the palm of his left hand hard with the back of his right hand, and couldn't help but speak louder, "This matter is a mess, but we can't even sort out a thread!"
"Don't worry, Master." Cen Qianyi took a sip of tea and said a few words of comfort, "Now that His Majesty is fine, we might as well see what other tricks the man behind the scenes has."
Xu Zihao shook his head, "Prime Minister, the last time the Qintian Prison posted a talisman in His Majesty's palace, he thought that nothing happened, but it only lasted a day."
"Something happened in the East Palace, and a few days later, something happened to Your Majesty again."
"Prime Minister, I am worried that the people behind the scenes will take action against Your Majesty!"
Once something happens to His Majesty, it will undoubtedly be a turmoil for the country of Zhao.
