Chapter 374: Legend of the Human Emperor
Translator: 549690339
Cheng Zhijie was Grand Secretary Cui’s man, one of the two people Pei Caihua had suggested.
“Your Majesty!” Pei Caihua said in a deep voice. This old official suggests that the directorate’s Chief Secretary Cheng should be the main one, and the Scholar Hall’s Chief Zhang should be the auxiliary one. Then, seven people should be transferred from the Scholar Hall to take charge of this matter!”
Grand Secretary Cui had used his most trusted subordinate to drag Zhang Ronghua down with him! Since he couldn’t stop them, he would change the leader and let Grand Secretary Cui’s people take the lead. That way, if anything went wrong in the future, Cheng Zhijie would be the scapegoat. As for the seven people from the Scholar Hall, it would be simple! There were so many scholars and people from other factions. They could just choose their enemies and throw them in.
At this point, the big shots had already left the stage. The people from the two sects knew that it was their turn. One by one, they stepped forward again, waving their flags and shouting, wanting the other party to take charge of this matter.
Chen Youcai knew that he shouldn’t stand up at this time, but he had no choice. During this period of time, he had a good relationship with Zhang Ronghua. If he didn’t come out now, there would be a gap between the two of them. A friend would stand up when the other party was in danger. Even if the risk was high, there were some things that had to be done!
He took a step forward and joined Pei Caicai’s camp. His appearance surprised everyone. Some people who knew about his relationship with Zhang Ronghua thought about it and understood.
The Crown Prince’s expression did not change. The Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wu Jinxiu, received his order and also stood out to join Pei Caicai’s side. Everyone was not surprised by his actions. Zhang Ronghua was his person. His own people were attacked. If he did not retaliate, this Crown Prince would not be up to standard!
For a moment, the two factions were in a heated argument. No one could gain the upper hand. The ability of a scholar was once again revealed. It was obvious that the scolding was very unpleasant, but there was not a single swear word. This was called performance art!
After all, this was the Purple Extreme Hall, not the market. They could spit, but they could not bring dirt. Otherwise, it would be an insult to the refined and lowered their status, making it look like a shrew cursing in the streets. Wei Shang took a step forward and scolded with a cold face,””Silence!”
Both sides of the quarrel immediately quieted down. He represented the Xia Emperor, and since he had spoken, he had to stop. If he continued to argue, he would be ungrateful and would be the one in trouble.
The Xia Emperor’s cold and dignified voice rang out.”You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you”
Zhang Ronghua stepped out from the back and stopped in front. A middle-aged man also walked out. It was Cheng Zhijie and stopped beside him.
“I’ll give you two half a month. Do you have the confidence to compile a new Legend of the Human Emperor?”
Cheng Zhijie’s eyelids twitched. This was different from what Grand Secretary Cui had said. According to their discussion, even if they didn’t have three years, they could still fight for one or two years. But now, the Emperor wanted them to complete this task within half a month. For a moment, he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. He said in fear and trepidation,”l can’t!”
Seeing the Xia Emperor’s gaze on him, Zhang Ronghua pondered for a moment and went through the pros and cons. If he could do it within half a month, the benefits would be huge! If he couldn’t do it, he would have to bear all the responsibility. Moreover, he hadn’t read the Legend of Renhuang, so he didn’t dare to make a rash decision. He said, ‘”‘1 haven’t read the book. Your Majesty, can you order someone to get me a copy of it?”
“Correct!”
Wei Shang waved his hand, and a eunuch behind him left in a hurry. After a while, he came back and handed the Legend of Human Emperor to Zhang Ronghua.
He took the Legend of Human Emperor and flipped it open.
The words used were gorgeous and majestic, showing the demeanor of an emperor. The achievements of Emperor Xia were described in the book very accurately, without any exaggeration. Some places were polished. Overall, it pursued the truth, but it tested the foundation of writing. People who were not knowledgeable enough would make mistakes even if they were asked to copy it.
He flipped through the book very quickly and read it very quickly. He almost swept through it and read the entire Imperial Legend. He closed it and returned it to the eunuch. He already had an idea in his heart. Zhang Ronghua said, “Sure!”
Everyone was stunned. They did not expect him to actually agree. They were suspicious. Could he really compile a new Legend of the Human Emperor within half a month?
The Xia Emperor’s majestic voice rang out once more. “With Zhang Ronghua from the Scholar Hall as the leader, Cheng Zhijie from the directorate as the support, and seven people from the Scholar Hall, Zhang Ronghua will be in charge!”
Pausing for a moment, his dragon eyes swept across the crowd, as if he wanted to see through all the civil and military officials present. No one dared to look directly at him, and they all lowered their heads.
“Bring me the True Dragon Token!”
Shua!
Everyone subconsciously raised their heads, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief! His Majesty actually wanted to give him the True Dragon Token?
Thinking of this, he looked at Grand Secretary Cui. Was he shooting himself in the foot?
Grand Elder Cui felt wronged. He had spent so much effort to deal with Zhang Ronghua, but he didn’t expect that he would not achieve his initial goal. Instead, he had helped him get the True Dragon Token.
At this moment, there was no suitable reason to object! Unless he had someone in his family who could compile a new biography of the Emperor within half a month, Pei Caihua would not let go of this opportunity to strike a blow to his prestige even without Emperor Xia’s permission.
Compared to him, He Wenxuan felt as if he had eaten dog shit!
He had racked his brains to get rid of Zhang Ronghua and then took the opportunity to burn the fire on Pei Caicai. He did not expect it to end up like this!
Wei Shang took the True Dragon Token from a eunuch.
“I’ll temporarily lend you this True Dragon Token!” the Xia Emperor said. If you can compile a new biography of the Human Emperor within half a month, I will reward it to you! On the contrary, if you can’t do it, you have to take full responsibility! ”
“I will not disappoint Your Majesty!”
Wei Shang walked down the stage and handed the True Dragon Token to him.
Zhang Ronghua put it into his pocket in front of everyone’s envious eyes. He wanted to laugh. Grand Secretary Cui had given him such a big gift at his first morning court session. What a nice guy!
With the True Dragon Token, he would be able to freely enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Books and some other places. He would have great power and would be of great help to him in editing the new biography of the Human Emperor.
Other than that.
When he was on duty, he could enter and leave the palace freely. He did not need to ask for leave and could rest! In addition to the other privileges, he had gained a lot.
He tactfully retreated and stood at the back of the line of the Ministry of Rites.
Next, they discussed other matters. They did not care about their matters. They only listened.
An hour later.
After the morning court session, the door opened again. Zhang Ronghua left through the side door on the left and slowed down to wait for Chen Youcai and Wu Jinxiu. He thanked them for speaking up for him, so he parted ways at
Xuanwei Gate. Zhang Ronghua walked toward the Ministry of Rites. Since Grand Secretary Cui had made his move, they had to retaliate. Now that they had the upper hand, it was time to deal with Grand Secretary Cui’s men.
At the Ministry of Rites.
With the True Dragon Token, he didn’t even need to report and directly entered the Ministry of Rites. This was his privilege!
Pei Cai was waiting for him in the office hall. He entered the hall and closed the door.. Sitting opposite him, Zhang Ronghua said, “Thank you, Uncle Pei!”
