Clearly, in Chen Shanmeng's view, Li Shensi's death resulted from the political whirlpool between the two parties.
The Minister of the Secretariat is the leader of the civil servants, and all official documents from Qingzhou come from the Minister of the Secretariat!
With such eminence and significance, naturally, neither side would concede!
The previous Minister Zhu Shizhong died unexpectedly, and Li Shensi, only two months into his term, suffered the same fate, dying even more gruesomely.
Wang Maochun secretly admired Chen Shanmeng's calmness, realizing that he had been a bit hasty in his handling earlier. He was focused on completing the Celestial Altar ceremony, neglecting the whirlpool behind Li Shensi's death. It was all because of that eerie rhino which instinctively made him associate Li Shensi's death with it.
