Chapter 1008: Uncle Shi Makes His Move (2)
Even if Du Chengming said that the item was inside and fell into Zhang Ronghua’s hands, as long as the other party refused to admit it, there was nothing they could do. Even if Yang Kai was happy, from the attitude of His Majesty, he would not investigate this matter.
His eyes were still closed and he did not say a word.
Yang Kai Tai helplessly watched as the nine Ten Thousand Year Spirit Herbs (Thunder Tribulation Spirit Herbs) were stolen by Zhang Rong Hua and the other two.
The dust settled.
“Du Chengming defected to the Shang Dynasty and executed his entire clan! The Imperial Censorate, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Justice will work together to investigate this case. No matter who is involved, they will be punished equally.”
“Yes, sir!” The heads of the three departments replied.
” Zhang Ronghua, Xu Xing, and Lu Zhantang have rendered meritorious service,” the Xia Emperor continued.” The Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs has produced a set of regulations and sent them to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets for me to decide.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Jiang Shangcheng replied.
“Retreat!”
The Xia Emperor rose from his throne, and Wei Shang held his arm as he left.
The Crown Prince turned around and walked over. He stretched out his hand and tidied Zhang Ronghua’s collar. He patted his shoulder twice and turned to leave.
There were too many people and it was not convenient to say.
Zhang Ronghua understood that he would go to the Eastern Palace in the future.
He nodded at Pei Caihua, Chen Youcai, and the others before leaving.
He left the main hall.
The two of them walked to the side. Ding Yi caught up to them. He patted his chest and revealed a look of fear.” Du Chengming almost succeeded.”
Xu Xing felt the same way deeply.” Fortunately, we were a step faster. If we got his evidence a little later, it would really be hard to say what happened today.”
He asked again.
“Pursue after victory?”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua replied.
“Let Jin Yaoguang keep an eye on it. In addition, we have people from the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice. When the case is over, the Imperial Censorate will definitely be brand new.”
After chatting for a while, Xu Xing left. They had agreed to meet up at the White Gold Courtyard at night and meet up together.
He brought Ding Yi back to the Imperial Censorate. With Du Chengming’s fall and his men taken away, the entire Imperial Censorate was leaderless. However, no matter who it was, when they saw Zhang Ronghua, they were all respectful. They didn’t dare to be arrogant, afraid that they would be remembered.
Huo Jingxiu, Han Zhenggang, Jin Yaoguang, and the others rushed over immediately. The former chatted while the latter reported on their work. Their attitudes were very serious. After giving some instructions, only Huo Jingxiu stayed behind while the others left.
“Qinglin, are you free tonight?”
Zhang Ronghua shook his head.” I don’t have time tonight. I still have to go to the East Palace later. Then, we’ll have a gathering at the Platinum Courtyard.”
” I wanted to invite you and Chang Qing to my house tonight,” Huo Jingxiu said.” But it seems that I have to give up!”
He asked with a smile.
“Do you mind having another pair of chopsticks?”
“What are you talking about?” Zhang Ronghua asked. Even if you don’t ask, I’ll still invite him. And Changxiu, ask him to come along too.”
Changxiu was Huo Jingyun’s surname.
“Alright!” Huo Jingxiu agreed.
Knowing that he was very busy, she took the initiative to leave after the discussion.
They were the only ones left in the hall.
Ding Yi took out a plate of watermelon. He handed over a toothpick and stuck a piece of watermelon into it.” Brother, is there a big commotion this time?”
Zhang Ronghua put away his smile and nodded seriously. He was also looking forward to the matter of the Imperial Censorate being fully resolved. He did not know where he would be transferred to.
The Xia Emperor asked the Ministry of Personnel Affairs to come up with the regulations. The various factions had to compromise and reach an exchange of benefits.
One thing was certain. Du Chengming’s vacant position was definitely in the hands of the Xia Emperor. The positions of Li Yuliang and Bi Fangjie, as well as the positions of the others, had to be exchanged. There was also the position of Pang Yihai from the Bureau of Military Personnel, Wu Jinxiu, and Shangjing’s pushing officer. With Xu Xing’s promotion, this position had also become vacant.
There were too many official positions at once, and they were all very important. It all depended on the game between the parties. The big head would definitely be taken by himself, and his people would follow suit. No one could deny this.
Basically, it formed an unspoken rule. When two factions fought, one faction would lose power, and the victorious faction would take the majority. The rest of the benefits would be exchanged, and it would not work in officialdom to monopolize everything.
“Tomorrow’s court will definitely be very exciting.”
“Brother, is it with you?” Ding Yi blinked and asked in a low voice.
“What do you think?” Zhang Ronghua asked.
He understood!
“Are you coming with me to the Hall of Ten Thousand Books or the Supreme Court?” Zhang Ronghua asked as he got up from his chair.
“Jin Yaoguang, Lu Junxiu, and the others are watching over there. It doesn’t matter if I’m there or not. Now that things have come to this, the other factions have to do something if they want to get something. I’d better go to the Hall of Ten Thousand Books with you!”
..
In the royal study.
Emperor Xia sat on his dragon throne. His dignified face was replaced by a smile.” Qinglin did not disappoint me!”
“Your Majesty, you have a discerning eye. How can you be wrong?” Wei Shang flattered without leaving a trace.
The Xia Emperor’s smile grew even wider.” The Imperial Censorate’s mission has been completed. I’ll wait and see if you can make any achievements in your new position.”
Wei Shang praised the Emperor’s arrangement. Qing Lin was really lucky. He had a lot of power in the following arrangements! Even he was envious.
Li Yuliang, Bi Fangjie, and Wu Jinxiu exchanged their positions.
His expression was solemn as he reverted back to the Human Emperor who wielded unparalleled authority.” Shang Qingxuan’s matter isn’t simple. Something doesn’t seem right. Let the Absolute Beginning Demon God investigate. We want to know what’s hidden inside.”
“I understand!” Wei Shang said.
After the court session.
He Wenxuan didn’t go back to his office. He felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He couldn’t wait to see Grand Secretary Cui.
