Prime Minister He said, "Now is not the right time to move against Duke Zhen, investigating Zhang Nan should not lead to Duke Zhen."
Grandmaster Liu sneered, "With Duke Zhen's cunning, even if we trace it back to him, there won't be any evidence."
Prime Minister He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's best not to startle the snake for the time being."
The Emperor slightly raised his eyebrow and said, "Lao He, are you suggesting not to investigate the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen?"
Prime Minister He replied, "As Grandmaster Liu said, Duke Zhen will not leave any handles for us to investigate."
"Your Majesty, investigating Zhang Nan is easy, but investigating the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen is not so easy," Grandmaster Liu said bluntly, "You knew Zhang Nan was embezzling from the start, but you chose to turn a blind eye, wasn't it to catch the big fish, Duke Zhen?"
