BXBX NOVEL Chapter 212 - 212: Power (8)
“I’ll see if I have time later.”
Ding Yi understood immediately. After Qian Wenli and the other two were eliminated, it was already very late when they left the royal study yesterday.
There were some matters that they had not had time to deal with.
Today, whether it was Li Daoran or Pei Caihua, they would look for him and nod to show that they understood.
At the Scholar’s Hall.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, a person stood in the courtyard. It was Li Daoran, who seemed to be waiting for them. When he saw them, he smiled sincerely and cheerfully. He took three steps forward and welcomed them.”Coming!”
“Greetings, Milord!”
“Why are you calling me Lord? Just call me Heng Zhi.”
Hengzhi was his surname!
From the looks of it, after yesterday’s incident, Pei Caicai should have talked to him. Zhang Ronghua wanted to be promoted, but he had just been transferred to the Scholar Hall not long ago. It was not possible and unrealistic to be promoted! He should be in power.
Qian Wenli was taken down, and his position was vacant. Pei Caicai was in charge of the Scholar Hall, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would become one of the two managers of the Scholar Hall as a Scholar. That was why this scene happened.
He figured everything out.
“I’ll do as you say!” Zhang Ronghua smiled.”
“That’s more like it!”
Looking at Ding Yi, Li Daoran asked, “Why don’t you come to my place?””
Ding Yi guessed that he was looking for his brother for something. It was very likely because of yesterday’s matter. He smiled and refused,”No! I’m going back to the library.”
After he left.
Li Daoran pulled Zhang Ronghua warmly and greeted him, “Let’s go! I just got some top-grade tea leaves yesterday. Try it and see how it tastes.”
After a while.
He entered his palace and closed the door.
Li Daoran asked Zhang Ronghua to sit down. He took out the tea leaves he had just obtained and boiled a pot of water. He poured two cups and placed them in front of him. It was steaming hot and emitted a strong fragrance. Before he drank it, he knew that it was good tea.
Holding the teacup, Zhang Ronghua placed the lid on the tea to make the tea more fragrant. When the fire was about right, Zhang Ronghua took a sip. It had a fresh taste. After taking another sip, he put down the teacup and praised,”lt is indeed rare.”
“If you like it, bring some back later.”
“I won’t stand on ceremony.”
After chatting, they got to the main topic.
Li Daoran said,”Master asked you to come. Come with me. ‘”‘
“Now?”
“Yes!”
Zhang Ronghua didn’t ask. He had already guessed it. The two of them got up and walked out of the Scholar Hall. They went straight to the Ministry of Rites.
The people at the door let them in. It seemed that Pei Caicai had already greeted them
He brought him to a stop outside a hall.
Li Daoran took a step forward and knocked on the hall door.”Sir, I have brought Qing Lin here.”
“Come in!”
Pushing open the hall door, the two of them entered. Li Daoran closed the hall door again.
Pei Caicai did not sit at the desk inside. He waited in the hall and brewed tea. Li Daoran hurriedly took a step forward, took the teapot from his hand, and poured them a cup.
“Sit!”
Zhang Ronghua sat on a chair.
Pei Caihua was all smiles. It seemed like he had gained a lot from yesterday’s incident. Although he didn’t gain much on the surface, it was a good thing that he had damaged Grand Secretary Cui’s reputation. He had also let others see his methods, and those who followed him were more convinced that they had made the right choice. As long as they did a good job, they would be promoted and made rich.
He didn’t play the official fan game and went straight to the main topic.
“It’s been hard on you this time. I originally wanted to promote you, but you’ve just been promoted. Even if I suggested that the document be handed over to the Ministry of Personnel, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets would stop it if the Ministry of Personnel passed the assessment. Let’s do something practical and let you become the master of the Scholar Hall as a scholar, in charge of daily work.”
“Where’s Hengzhi?”
“He’s been in the Scholar Hall for so many years. He works seriously and is very capable. Once he’s experienced and promoted, it won’t be easy to arrange for him in the capital. Even if he’s promoted, he won’t have any real power! ” I asked for his opinion yesterday and he is willing to be transferred outside. This way, it will be easier to arrange for him to become the governor of a large county for the time being.”
Li Daoran looked excited and said appropriately, “Thank you for your nurturing, sir!”
Pei Caihua stroked his beard and smiled.” We can’t let this leak out. Otherwise, if Grand Secretary Cui finds out, he’ll do everything he can to stop us. Otherwise, he’ll be transferred out and become the governor of a lower county instead of a good county.”
“I understand!”
“Since Hengzhi hasn’t been transferred out yet, if there’s anything you don’t understand, let him teach you. He won’t hide what he knows.”
“With Hengzhi’s guidance, it’ll be twice the result with half the effort.’”‘
“You don’t have to worry about Grand Secretary Cui. I’ll stop him if he tries to play dirty, but you still have to be careful. He Wenxuan has suffered such a big loss, but he still doesn’t dare to retaliate even after being beaten by Ding Yi. He has the True Dragon Token to protect him, the Emperor’s heart, and His Majesty’s support. He will only blame you, but you don’t have to care. On the surface, he doesn’t dare to mess around. Otherwise, I won’t let him eat my pocket. ”
Zhang Ronghua noted it down.
Pei Caihua took a sip of tea and reminded him again. He treated him as one of his own and did not hide it, “This morning, we received news that Qian Wenli and the other two had died in the Ministry of Justice’s prison. They didn’t manage to capture the First Prince, and his eldest son had also entered the First Prince’s residence and become a guard. It seems that the First Prince is determined to protect them and put on a show for his subordinates! It’s not time to make a move for now. I’ve already spoken up and helped you vent your anger. I’ve ordered people to take care of Rong Qinggui and Yue Heng’s family..”
