Chapter 959: Emperor Xia’s Fury (2)

They found a remote place with a beautiful environment. The two of them sat on the ground casually and did not speak. They waited quietly.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Ronghua got up from the ground. His eyes were shining. His sharpness was hidden in his eyes. It could explode at any time. When the time came, it would be earth-shattering. He said gently,” Sorry to trouble you again.”

” I’ll bring a piece of candied haws the next time I come,” Yang Hongling said with a relaxed smile.

“Good!”

Yang Hongling turned around and walked toward the Fate Academy. She waved her hand.” I’ll wait for your good news.”

He smiled knowingly.

After her figure disappeared, Zhang Ronghua took out his official robe and changed into it. He looked at the sky. There was still a while before dawn. It was time for the court.

..

Purple Extreme Hall.

The morning court session began.

Wei Shang took a step forward. His somber and heavy voice rang out.” Report if you have something to say. If not, withdraw!”

Li Yuliang and the Shan family had fallen, and so many positions had been vacated. Some people had their eyes on them.

The Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Kaitai, stepped out of the line and bowed. He said,” The Imperial Censorate has a great responsibility in supervising the officials. Now that Li Yuliang has been captured, Lord Du and Lord Bi have a lot of courage on their shoulders. The Governor of Anzhou, Xu Guowen, is very capable and rigorous. The people under his rule are well-fed and there are no major cases. The economy is getting better and better. I propose that he be transferred to the Imperial Censorate as the Left Deputy Imperial Censor.”

Yang Kai Tai was a member of the Sui Family.

The Sui Family was very powerful. There was Concubine Ming in the palace, and they were divided into three groups. One was a businessman, one was a martial artist, and the other was an official. They were the most powerful family in Xia. They had been passed down for many years and their power was deeply rooted.

All the officials looked at Pei Caicai. He was the Minister of Rites.

It was as if he did not notice the strange gazes around him.

Pei Caihua stood in front of Yang Kai, not moving at all, as if he hadn’t heard Yang Kai Tai’s words.

The situation was strange, and everyone could not make up their minds.

Logically speaking.

Pei Caicai controlled the Board of Rites and no one could shake him. Now that someone had jumped out to snatch the fruits of his faction’s victory, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent. However, he did not move. Could it be that he was hiding something?

They were all thousand-year-old foxes and thought a lot. They decided to take one step at a time and observe the situation.

Yang Kai Tai’s people stood up to agree, as well as other officials. From here, it seemed that they had discussed it in advance or reached an exchange of interests.

The five pavilion elders did not move, nor did they step forward to suggest that their people take over Li Yuliang’s vacant position.

When no one stepped out.

Su Ming walked out of the line and said in a low voice,” Xu Guowen is indeed not bad. He is quite capable and has a high prestige. He has always scored ‘excellent’ in every test. A great talent like him should be put in an important position. I suggest that he be transferred to Lan Province as the governor. His position will remain unchanged. He will educate the people and develop their lives, so that Lan Province will become prosperous.”

Lan Prefecture was a lower prefecture.

Before Stylon fell, he had proposed to transfer Zhang Ronghua to the post of governor in order to drive him out of the Ministry of Works.

Su Ming’s suggestion had already made it clear that he wanted to freeze Xu Guowen and let him stay in this position until he retired.

The Ministry of Personnel was the will of the Xia Emperor. Since he had stepped forward, he represented the Emperor.

Thinking of Pei Caihua’s indifference, everyone understood that everything had been decided long ago. From this point of view, the Emperor wanted to keep Li Yuliang’s position for himself, or if there were not enough benefits, he would not give it up.

“I agree!” Pei Caicai stepped forward.

This scene further confirmed the guesses of the officials. It turned out to be a conspiracy. They secretly rejoiced that they were a beat slower. Otherwise, the ones who fell would be their own people.

Grand Secretary Cui and the others also stood up and agreed with the suggestion.

The Xia Emperor gave the final word and transferred Xu Guowen to the position of governor of Lan Province. He was a third-grade official who managed the upper province. Now, he was transferred to the lower province. The governor of Lan Province was only a third-grade official. The meaning behind this was very clear.

With this example in front of them, no one dared to speak up for the empty seat of the Shan family.

Pei Caihua, Grand Secretary Cui, and Grand Secretary Zeng suggested that they transfer their people over. With the support of the three sects, they reached an early exchange of benefits. Nothing unexpected happened and the dust settled.

Wu Hang and Pei Haoran were also among the officials transferred.

The magic trick was too fast. The other factions did not even have time to react. It could only be said that Xu Guowen’s matter had intimidated them and they did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing that the court was about to retreat, Bi Fangjie stepped forward. His movement once again affected everyone’s nerves. They did not understand what he was up to. After bowing, he said solemnly,” I impeach the Imperial Censor Zhang Ronghua of the Left, the Fourth Division of the Imperial Censorate. He did not attend court without taking leave. He is seriously dereliction of duty!” Please punish me severely, Your Majesty.”

He had also heard about Zheng Fugui’s matter. He was so happy that he wanted to dance.

Zhang Ronghua had the True Dragon Token in his hand, and even though he knew he couldn’t move, he still wanted to use it.

It was mainly because she had been holding it in too much during this period of time. She was almost out of breath from his three fires.

His people immediately jumped out to support the proposal. Other political enemies also stood out. Even the people of the princes also stepped forward, wanting to make Zhang Ronghua look bad.

Pei Caihua, Chen Youcai, and the others were about to step out.

Yiya!

A slight sound came from the hall. The side door on the left was pushed open. The people standing behind the queue subconsciously looked over. When they saw Zhang Ronghua coming, their eyes were full of mockery. They were ready to watch a good show.

As he entered, Eunuch Xiao closed the door.

Zhang Ronghua didn’t go to the Imperial Censorate. He walked forward.

He had just stopped.

Bi Fangjie was about to speak when he saw the face before him. His eyes were cold and emotionless, and there was no killing intent emanating from him. However, the feeling he gave off was even more terrifying than that of a ferocious beast. He felt fear in his heart and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He was feeling smug in his heart. Zheng Fugui must have died, which was why he was so happy. It was as if he had eaten honey, but he didn’t show it.
