On the imperial platform.
Emperor Xia’s face was cold, and his eyes were bright. They were imbued with an immense majesty and the domineering aura of an emperor. He sat calmly on the fishing platform and watched the scene unfold before him. He was quite surprised that a small matter had involved so many people. The confrontation between the three Pavilion Elders, the Crown Prince, and the princes was within the expectations of the Bureau of Military Personnel and the military. They were still counting on Zhang Ronghua to develop a spiritual item so that they could kill the enemy and make a contribution. It was reasonable for them to do something good.
“Correct!” he said in a deep voice after sweeping his gaze around.
Everyone returned to their ranks. There was nothing else to report, and the court session ended.
He left from the side door on the left and walked towards the Ministry of Works.
When they arrived at the Spirit Research Department, they entered the office hall, followed by Ding Yi and the others.
Tang Bo closed the door of the hall. He had the lowest status here.
Zhang Ronghua sat on the main seat and pointed at the chair.
He sat down according to his status, his expression serious, his back straight, and only a third of his butt was sitting, as if he could stand up at any time.
Knowing that they did not understand, he simply said,” Xu Xing is my friend. I just mentioned it. I didn’t expect it to cause so many changes. Fortunately, the appointment passed. You guys don’t have to think too much.”
“As long as it’s done by my lord, it’s all right!” Huang Zhongshi hurriedly expressed his loyalty. This subordinate will be the first to charge.”
Zhao Yi and Tang Bo cursed in their hearts, bootlicker! The words that came out of her mouth were as mushy as they could be, completely forgetting the words that she was cursing in her heart.
Zhang Ronghua instructed seriously,” After you go down, pick some valuable and powerful weapons and feys according to the list we made yesterday. Then, transfer some people. Ability is secondary. You must be able to take on things and withstand the wind and rain. No matter what test you face, you must stand firm.”
The three of them were all smart people. They could hear the hidden meaning in his words. His Excellency was going to do a big job and bring them to eat and drink. Excitement and joy filled their faces. They hurriedly expressed that they would do their best to pick out the “suitable” people before opening the door and leaving.
Haoran?” Zhang Ronghua frowned and looked confused.” Where’s Haoran?”
Ding Yi then remembered that he was fine when he came. He had asked the
Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army to bring him to the Ministry of Works and wait at the entrance. Why was he gone? “Did he go out of court?” he asked, scratching his head.
Other than this explanation, nothing else made sense.
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
He asked with a serious expression.
“Did you see anything in the court just now?”
Forget about Elder Hu and Elder Zeng,” Ding Yi said seriously.” The princes and Grand Secretary Cui will fight. The former will fight with His Highness, while the latter will be afraid of your power.” “The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Yan Lihua, is the Second Prince’s man, and the right assistant minister, Shi Dailong, is the First Prince’s man. Although we were on their home ground, we could still suppress them for a while if we had just arrived. After Cui Jiancheng and He Jianzhi fell, we added the power of the Fire Spirit Oil, the horizontal saber, and the Poison Plague Bead on top of the foundation of the Flame Thunder Bead. We showed great potential and were like the sun in the sky. Even if Fu Kun wanted to suppress them, we didn’t need to do anything. The Ministry of War and the military wouldn’t agree either.” “What did you realize?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.
” To forge iron, you need to be tough yourself. If you are not tough enough, or if you do not have enough benefits, others will not offend other forces for you.” “Not bad.” Zhang Ronghua smiled.
“Brother, what did you and Xu Xing talk about last night?” Ding Yi was puzzled and asked the doubt in his heart.
Zhang Ronghua briefly explained the situation.
After listening.
“He takes all the good things,” said Ding Yi enviously.
There was still one thing he did not understand.
“How did Xu Xing persuade Elder Hu and Elder Ceng?”
He pondered for a moment.
“Don’t forget that he’s the Commandery Prince of Baiyun,” said Zhang
Ronghua.
“A connection left behind by Mother?”
“It should be!”
Other than this, the other explanations did not make sense. In this way, the doubts were resolved. Even if there was a difference, the difference would not be too big.
Footsteps sounded and stopped outside the palace door. The palace door knocked. Pei Haoran’s voice came from outside.” Brother Hua, are you guys inside?”
The two of them looked at each other and saw ridicule in their eyes.
“I’ll open the door,” Ding Yi stood up from his chair.
He walked over and opened the door.
“Don’t tell me she really went to the outhouse?” she teased.
Pei Haoran looked as if he had seen a ghost. How did he know?
Ding Yi couldn’t hold it in anymore. He laughed exaggeratedly.
The door closed and the two of them sat down on the chairs.
Pei Haoran explained,” I drank too much water in the morning. I stayed at the entrance of the Ministry of Works for a while and suddenly wanted to go out. I asked the Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army at the entrance to bring me to the toilet.”
He continued.
“Brother Hua, guess what I heard in the outhouse?”
“What?”
“Cui Jiancheng has resigned!”
Zhang Ronghua’s reaction was calm. It was within his expectations. At least it would look better if he resigned. Otherwise, if he continued to apply for leave, the censor would attack him. At that time, he would lose his official position and lose even more face.” It’s normal.’ He looked at Ding Yi.
“Take Haoran to complete the procedures.”
“Yes.” Ding Yi stood up from his chair.
The procedure for a civil official was simple. After he passed, he just had to register with the Ministry of Works. However, it was very difficult to get out of the “cruel official”. Without a connection to the heavens, one would still be an official for the rest of their life.
It could stump others, but not Pei Haoran.
Whether it was his father or Zhang Ronghua, both of them could solve this problem.
The Spirit Research Department was now a hot topic. Even the opposing factions wanted to arrange for people to come in and ride on Zhang Ronghua’s free ride. They wanted to take credit for their promotion..
