He looked at his nose and mouth, fishing.

Zhang Ronghua thought to himself,” These people are also talented. They attend court 365 days a year, sometimes one more day. Other than taking a break, they don’t even have time to rest. They’re so diligent and come so early. It’s hard on them.”Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

When it was time, the Purple Extreme Gate and the two side doors closed. With the arrival of Emperor Xia, the morning court session began. It only ended after about an hour. When he returned to the Purple Extreme Hall, Lu Junxiu and the others were standing guard at the door. Seeing that he had arrived, they followed him into the hall and closed the door.

Zhang Ronghua sat on a chair and took a sip of the tea that Ding Yi poured for him. He asked, “”How’s the editing going?”

I’ve checked carefully,” Zhao Bai said.” There’s nothing in the biography of the

Celestial Emperor that you wrote that needs editing. ‘”‘

His right hand patted the Five Dragons Spirit Taming Belt and took out the first three chapters of the second part that he had written yesterday morning and placed them on the table.

“This is what I wrote at home yesterday,” Zhang Ronghua said.”

“Yes, sir!”

The four of them took their leave. After they left, Cao Xing closed the door.

Sir, ” Lu Junxiu reported,” I humiliated Cheng Zhijie yesterday. I watched his expression the entire time. He seemed to have accepted his fate.” Last night, he asked Cao Hang to investigate again. After he went off duty the night before yesterday, he did go to Cui Manor!”

” As expected,” Zhang Ronghua said.” An abandoned chess piece lost its value. The outcome can be imagined.””

The voice of a member of the Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army came from outside.””Sir! Lord Tao of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had brought two people over. He was holding a memorial in his arms as he waited at the door.”

Lu Junxiu had done his homework in detail. He lowered his voice and said,” Your subordinate has inquired about the Tianji Pavilion. It has indeed been very busy lately. There are many memorials that have piled up into a small mountain. Even His Highness is also busy. I’ve brought a batch of them back from the palace to deal with them.””

“Let him in.”

Lu Junxiu understood. He opened the door and ordered the Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army to let him in.

After a while.

Tao Xuezhi brought two people in from outside and instructed them to place the memorial on the desk before turning around and leaving.

Zhang Ronghua waved his hand, and Lu Junxiu tactfully left with Cao Hang and closed the door from the outside.

After sitting for a while.

He got up from his chair and brought Ding Yi towards the Hall of Ten Thousand Books.

On the other side.

At the entrance of the Shangjing government, there were tall lions on both sides. Around them stood ten soldiers and a team of yamen officers.

Three figures walked over from afar and stopped at the main gate. They were the three people from the Imperial College. They were wearing the long robes of the Confucian scholars from the Education Bureau. Each of them carried a bag in their hands. It was full and seemed to be long. From the outside, it should be books or account books.

They looked at each other and saw determination in their eyes. They did not even look at the soldiers and yamen guards at the door and walked to the bronze drum.

The Imperial College Chancellor handed the package in his hand to them, rolled up his sleeves, held the drumstick, and used all his strength to hit the drum.

Dong dong dong…

The drumbeats sounded and spread to the surroundings. Soon, it reached the magistrate’s office. The surrounding yamen couldn’t sit still.

He put down the drumsticks.

The Chancellor of the Imperial College held his bag and the three of them held their heads high and puffed out their chests as they entered the government office under the ” guards ” of the bailiffs.

Fifteen minutes later.

Ren Shangxuan, the governor of Shangjing, had found out the whole story. The Chancellor of the Imperial College had sued some officials of the Imperial College and the directorate. Over the years, they had pocketed and secretly accepted bribes. There were six people in total. They were either Grand

Secretary Cui’s men or He Wenxuan’s men. The evidence was conclusive.

As the elder of the Cui Pavilion, Ren Shangxuan was in a difficult position. He rubbed his head in pain. If it was just him, it would not be difficult to suppress this matter. However, the judge Huang Daoning and the judge Chen Youcai were also present. They had two factions behind them. One was the Crown Prince, and the other was the Changqing Academy. They could not suppress this matter at all.

If he dared to suppress them, the two of them would immediately exert their strength and jointly submit a memorial to him. The forces behind them would also submit a memorial to kill him, not giving him any chance to turn things around.

After a moment of silence, he met their gazes and said in a deep voice,”How do you think we should handle this matter?”

Chen Youcai was the first to speak. The Crown Prince and Grand Secretary Cui had never been on good terms, and as one of his subordinates, he would not let go of this opportunity.””This case is of great importance, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the government. It should be handled by the Supreme Court.”

Huang Daoning didn’t understand. Where did the Imperial College Chancellor and the other two get this evidence? Why didn’t they take it out when they fought with He Wenxuan? What was the purpose of bringing out all this evidence now?

Among the six, one of them was the Secretary of Industry, Cao Shanzhang, a third-grade official and Grand Secretary Cui’s disciple. Before the Imperial College Chancellor lost his position, this person was his deputy and had great power. With a stomp of his foot, the Imperial College would be shaken by 30%. The remaining five were doctors and teachers. They were either Cao Shanzhang’s men or He Wenxuan’s men.

Could it be that there was someone behind this? If so, who could it be?

There weren’t many people who could withstand Grand Secretary Cui’s anger, and they were his political enemies. There were only a handful of people in the imperial court, and they were all extremely powerful. However, from the information he had received, the three Imperial College Chancellors didn’t join them. In other words, others didn’t like these three trash, so they naturally wouldn’t accept them. After thinking for a while, he couldn’t guess who had attacked.

Seeing that they were looking over, he said,”Minister Chen’s words are reasonable. This matter is indeed not under our jurisdiction! I think they can’t enter the Outer Palace and can’t send the evidence to the Supreme Court. That’s why they beat the bronze drum and want us to report the case.”

The ball was kicked in front of Ren Shangxuan. He knew that once this case was brought to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court was not a united whole. There were people from all forces. No matter who was behind it, now that the Imperial College Chancellor and the other two had sent over the evidence, they would definitely not let go of the opportunity to beat the dog when it was down. They would definitely do it to the death and even join forces with the Imperial Censorate to settle the case of the six people, not giving them a chance to turn things around.

In this way, six official positions would be vacated. In the confrontation between the various parties, there would be meat to eat. Taking down one or even two of them would allow one’s own people to rise and increase one’s authority.

This was especially true for the position of the Imperial College Secretary. This was an official third-grade position. At this stage, many people wanted to advance further, but there was no way. One carrot and one pit. Unless someone at the top fell, the people below could step on the bones to rise. Otherwise, no matter how strong you were, there was no extra position for you. There was nothing you could do!

Now that the position of Chancellor of the Imperial College was vacant, if he became a minister, he would undoubtedly control the Imperial College and become the actual controller. His power would be too great.

Furious, he cursed at Wan Guoqiang, who was a good-for-nothing! He was an expert and the Purple Dragon Emissary. His cultivation was monstrous and he had brought a group of trusted aides. It was fine if he did not escort them to Shangliang Town, but he was killed on the way and these three old fellows actually survived. Couldn’t he have taken them away before he died?

But now! The three old fellows had survived, but they did not know where they had gotten the evidence to jump out and harm their faction.

With a cold face, his expression did not change at all.”Send him to the Supreme

Court immediately!”

He stood up from his chair and walked out. He ordered his men to prepare a carriage to enter the palace and head to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. He wanted to inform Grand Secretary Cui of this news so that he could be prepared.

Chen Youcai and Huang Daoning also stood up from their chairs and looked at each other. They saw something in each other’s eyes, but it seemed like they didn’t see anything. They left in tacit understanding and passed this important news back. They were prepared to snatch their empty seats when the case was solved.

As the wild goose plucked its feathers, they would eventually bite off a piece of meat..
