The case had already spread throughout the capital before it was sent to the Supreme Court. All the forces had received the news and guessed who had secretly ordered the Imperial College Chancellor and the other two to attack Grand Secretary Cui. He had also ordered his own people in the Supreme Court to strictly handle the case and not give Cao Shan Zhang and the others any chance to take them down.
After considering the positions that the six of them had vacated, they set their eyes on the positions that they were confident of. They were prepared to make trouble in the imperial court tomorrow and push their own people up so that they could take another step forward and increase their own strength.
Those who didn’t feel confident or weren’t confident enough would join forces with other factions to exchange benefits and form temporary alliances.
Chen Youcai’s news spread very quickly. When the Crown Prince received the news, no one else had received the news yet. At this moment, he was resting in Zhantai Hall.
Zhantai Hall was where the Crown Prince studied in the palace, followed Emperor Xia to handle government affairs, and rested at noon or rested.
Normally, Chen Youcai would need some time to pass the message over. The other factions would already know about this, but it was very simple now.
Zheng Fugui had been leading the Flood Dragon Guards to follow the Crown
Prince into the palace since morning. He had been guarding around the Tianwei Gate of the inner palace. Firstly, he was waiting for the Crown Prince’s orders. If the Crown Prince had any orders, he would be the first to receive the news and then leave the palace to do it. Secondly, when the Crown Prince left, he would lead the Flood Dragon Guards to guard around.
When news ot Chen Youcai arrived, Zheng Fugui ordered someone to inform Eunuch Xiao about Cao Shanzhang’s matter. Eunuch Xiao then sent someone to inform the Crown Prince. This way, they would save more time.
After listening.
The Crown Prince frowned. His mind was racing as he tried to guess who had used the three of them to attack Grand Secretary Cui, while also scheming for benefits.
There was limited information, so he couldn’t guess!
Fortunately, he did not think about it. Since the other party had made a move, it would not be long before they surfaced. The most important thing now was how to maximize the benefits.
Although Si Ye was the most important of the six positions, there were too many people watching him. The forces in the dark could not be touched, or else some people would not be able to sleep. It was unrealistic to take this position just by relying on the forces on the surface.
Other than this position, among the remaining five positions, he had his eyes on the doctor. Although the doctor position was not prominent, it was the same as the Scholar Hall. It was used for gilding. There were few people watching, it was easy to operate, and it was well planned. There was a 50% chance of snatching a position from the other factions, but it still lacked a little help.
He was the Crown Prince, so he couldn’t go down personally. On the surface, the leaders of the court were the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of
Justice, followed by Chen Youcai. The two of them had the highest positions.
The others, like Zhang Ronghua, were only Rank-4 and had very low presence. Even if they stepped out to express their opinions, they didn’t have much weight and there weren’t many of them.
He thought of Zhang Ronghua and knew that he was busy writing the new Legend of the Human Emperor with Ding Yi in the Hall of Ten Thousand Books. However, he thought of the person behind him-Pei Caicai.
The Crown Prince had also sent people to investigate their relationship. Pei
Caihua was the old man’s in-name disciple, and Zhang Ronghua and Yang Hongling were very close. Their relationship was extraordinary. It was probably because of Yang Hongling that they got together and were very close.
His eyes flashed with a bright light. He had a plan. He would work together with Pei Caihua and the two factions would work together to obtain a doctor position.
It might seem difficult to get two positions at once, but as long as Pei Caicai stood up and his people worked hard, they had a 50% chance of getting two PhD positions.
If we really provoke them and muddy the waters, you guys can forget about getting what we can’t get. At most, we’ll let all six positions go empty at the same time. With six fewer people, the Imperial College and the directorate can still operate.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
Grand Secretary Cui received the news as soon as the crown prince did. As Ren Shangxuan left, his face darkened and he ordered,””Go and call Manager He over!”
The person outside hurriedly agreed and jogged away to call He Wenxuan.
Very quickly.
He Wenxuan appeared outside the palace door and knocked on it. “Can I come
“Come in!”
He Wenxuan’s heart sank. He could hear the suppressed anger in Grand Elder Cui’s voice. He knew the man well enough to know that he would only act like this when something big happened or when he felt wronged. He thought about everything that had happened recently. Everything was normal. Nothing had happened!
He didn’t do anything to Zhang Ronghua, and Grand Secretary Cui knew that he had sent someone to deliver the memorials. The Pavilion of Heavenly
Secrets was very busy, and there were too many memorials to handle, so they had sent someone to deliver them. They had even asked Tao Xuezhi to convey the message that the new biography of the Human Emperor was the most important thing. They would deal with it when they had the time, and if they didn’t, they wouldn’t be affected at all.
If it wasn’t him, who else would it be?
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, he pushed open the palace door and walked in, closing it from the inside.
He walked inside with a straight face and looked at Grand Secretary Cui, who was sitting on a chair. He was expressionless, but the cold air he was emitting was very strong. He was not angry, but he was intimidating. He had a great pressure that made others breathless. He bowed and said,””Greetings, Cui Lao!”
Grand Elder Cui didn’t say anything. He looked at He Wenxuan coldly, which gave He Wenxuan even more pressure. He was like a mountain that pressed down on He Wenxuan, making it hard for him to breathe.
He Wenxuan was drenched in cold sweat and felt uncomfortable under his stare. He asked weakly,””What are you doing?”
“How did I teach you?”
“???”He Wenxuan was dumbfounded..
