For some reason, Yan Lixue panicked, as if something bad was about to happen. He wanted to open his mouth, but Emperor Xia was talking to Zhang Ronghua. If he dared to interrupt, Eunuch Wei would slap him with his big pocket and punish him for being disrespectful. Even if he wanted to express his opinion, he would have to wait until they finished speaking.
His thoughts turned quickly and he thought of Jin Yaoguang. Could it be that Zhang Ronghua wanted to use this opportunity to transfer the three of them to the Scholar’s Hall? He also did not understand. He was the master of the
Scholar Hall, and it was completely within his duty to borrow a ” handyman ‘ He did not need to go through the Ministry of Personnel and could complete it himself. Why was he bringing it up now?
He couldn’t figure it out!
He wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand.
Before they could continue guessing, Zhang Ronghua’s voice rang out again, ‘”‘ Your Majesty, the writing of the biography of the Celestial Emperor is of great importance. I’m afraid that it will delay the progress. I heard that Jin Yaoguang, Zhou Yi, and Cui Daoqing are extremely knowledgeable. I met them in the capital a few days ago and invited them to the Scholar’s Hall..
Hearing this.
Grand Secretary Cui reacted quickly and thought of many things. Was Zhang Ronghua planning to use Yan Lixue to get rid of their white bodies and transfer them into the Legend of the Celestial Emperor? He was puzzled. It wasn’t the new Legend of the Human Emperor? Why did it become the Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy? Now was not the time to think about this. He then transferred the three of them to the team of the Legend of the Heavenly
Emperor. From the looks of it, the progress of the Legend of the Heavenly Emperor was probably very great. It was deeply satisfied by the Emperor and would definitely be completed within the stipulated time. He would be able to take advantage of the credit this time and take off on the spot. He might even be restored to his original position.
Thirdly, and most importantly, although the possibility was very small, Zhang Ronghua was very likely to mention that Jin Yaoguang and the others were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice last night. If he had invited them to join the writing team of the Legend of the Heavenly Emperor a few nights ago, many people would have been unlucky. Although he and He Wenxuan were fine, the person in charge of capturing Jin Yaoguang would have been in trouble.
Thinking of this…
Grand Elder Cui was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only pray that things wouldn’t go this way.
The more one feared something, the more it would happen.
Zhang Ronghua’s voice continued,” But last night, Jin Yaoguang and the others were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice’s prison. They were even tortured. If I didn’t bring people here in time, I’m afraid they would have died!”
The sound of thunder frightened many people.
Wan Zhaoyang, the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. He said solemnly, “I was about to mention this matter, but I didn’t expect Manager Zhang to say it first! All the people involved in this matter had been arrested and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice’s prison. They would be handed over to the Supreme Court for interrogation later.”
He was Grand Secretary Cui’s man.
Zhang Ronghua knew what was going on and didn’t expect this matter to hurt them badly. Strictly speaking, Jin Yaoguang had returned to the capital without permission, and He Wenxuan had sent people to arrest them. Everything was in accordance with the procedure. Now that he had brought it up, he had benefited from the Heavenly Emperor’s message and was trying to trick them. The first goal had been achieved, and there were only two left. He said again, “Yan Shaoqing just mentioned that we don’t have enough manpower, so we can solve it! He spoke to the minister’s heart. Although the three of them had committed some crimes and had already received the punishment they deserved, they were knowledgeable and had solid knowledge. If they could deal with Bai Shen and be transferred to the Scholar Hall to join the editing team, the progress of the Legend of the Celestial Emperor would probably be faster.”
Yan Lixue wanted to give himself two tight slaps! This stupid mouth of his had done a good thing. If he was not careful, he would be seized by the other party and even be killed.
It was already too late for him to take back his words.
Grand Secretary Cui was also silent. Yan Lixue was his man, and he had been ordered to make trouble last night. If the Legend of the Celestial Emperor was progressing well, then it would be fine, but if he didn’t, then he could use the follow-up moves to deal a heavy blow to Zhang Ronghua, and at the same time, he could drag Pei Caihua down with him, damaging his reputation.
He could not even say a word of retort.
However, it was impossible for him to give up just like that. He had to stop
Zhang Ronghua’s power from advancing any further. Otherwise, if these three
old fellows entered the Scholar Hall, the Scholar Hall would become Zhang
Ronghua’s backyard once the biography of the Celestial Emperor was compiled. Even if the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets interfered, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
They had to be experienced. Jin Yaoguang had enough experience. Although they were pedantic, they were really knowledgeable. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to sit in the position of Chancellor of the Imperial College for so many years. If it wasn’t for the fact that Changqing Academy had gone too far, they wouldn’t have been taken down last time. Once they entered, they were like sticky candy. They couldn’t be taken down, but they could disgust you every day. It was as uncomfortable as it could be.
He winked at Zeng Runyu, signaling her to help him.
Zeng Runyu was one of the elders of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Yesterday, they had completed the exchange of benefits. Grand Elder Cui had done everything he could to help Zeng Runyu ascend to the position of
Secretary of the Imperial College. In return, Grand Elder Cui would help Zeng Runyu in court if necessary.
He pondered for a moment and filtered through everything that had happened in front of him. He considered the pros and cons and decided which one would benefit him more. If he had to help Grand Secretary Cui, he would rather give up his position as the Secretary of the Imperial College than show up.
If he just stood up and said a few words to return Grand Secretary Cui’s favor and then left, he would have gained a lot more from the position.
Thinking of this, Grand Secretary Zeng came up with a plan. He didn’t ask his men to step forward. He stood up and bowed.”Your Majesty, although Jin Yaoguang and the others are Imowledgeable, they made a mistake some time ago..”
