Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl Chapter 449 – Flipping the Table

Chapter 449: Flipping the Table

It was the same for Grand Secretary Cui’s faction. They could not retreat! After he retired, it would only be more difficult to push He Wenxuan into the cabinet when the reputation of his talent grew.

Both sides had a tacit understanding of each other. At this time, it was the censor’s turn to step forward. After receiving the orders from their respective bosses, they immediately jumped out and accused Zhang Qingzhi and Dou Qiong of having bad character.

The people from the two factions fought with them in the form of tongues. They fought back and forth, having a great time.

Zhang Ronghua was stunned. This was the first time he had seen a person with a great show of the way of the country in court. There was no need for any evidence. Just a single sentence of bad character was enough to kill someone. Was there a more despicable reason than this?

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. It seemed that there was no evidence, but there were many generalizations. He could not find any evidence, but he could still use it to attack his political opponents. He could not be convicted afterwards. Although it was shameless, it was quite useful. He had learned!

The next scene refreshed his worldview.

When it was Grand Secretary Cui and the First Prince’s turn to recommend candidates, Pei Caicai and the Crown Prince’s people jumped out and criticized their people’s bad reputation.

The other factions wanted to push their own people up, but they were afraid of being criticized for their incompetence. Even if Grand Secretary Cui had agreed to push Grand Secretary Zeng’s people up, Grand Secretary Zeng had pretended to be mute. So many factions had jumped out, and if they pushed their own people up, they would be dragged into the fight. Not only would they fail to achieve their goals, but they would also lose face. It was better to just wait and see.

The fine royal court had turned into a market. No one could convince anyone, or rather, no compromise could be reached.

No matter how much they argued, the people in the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs ‘line remained as steady as Mount Tai. From the beginning to the end, they did not speak. They were all calm and composed, as if the scene before them had nothing to do with them.

Seeing that the situation in the court was getting more and more intense, Wei

Shang took a step forward and scolded with a cold face,””Silence!”

His voice was like thunder, ringing in the ears of all the officials. Hearing his words, everyone subconsciously shut their mouths and looked over at Emperor Xia. Seeing the Emperor’s cold gaze, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. They lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

Seeing that the court had calmed down, Wei Shang retreated and stood in his seat.

The Xia Emperor’s cold voice rang out.”

He stood up from his chair, flung his sleeves, and left.

After the Xia Emperor left, the Purple Pole Gate and the side doors on both sides opened. The court session ended. The civil and military officials shot a cold glance at their political opponents and left with a murderous aura.

He left the palace through the side door on the left. He was not in a hurry to return to the Scholar’s Hall. He knew that Pei Caicai was waiting for him, so he changed his direction and walked towards the Ministry of Rites.

He didn’t need to report to anyone with the True Dragon Token and directly entered the Ministry of Rites. He stopped outside Pei Caicai’s office and knocked on the door, “Uncle Pei!”

“The door isn’t closed.”

He pushed open the door and walked in before closing the door.

Pei Caicai had already brewed a cup of tea. He poured a cup and placed it opposite him. Zhang Ronghua walked over and pulled out a chair to sit down.

He pointed at the teacup.

Pei Caihua smiled,”Drink some tea to moisten your throat. ‘”‘

“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua replied with a smile.

There had been a fierce argument in the imperial court just now, and with the matter passed down by the Celestial Thearch, he was indeed a little thirsty. He had already digested the fashion brand and youtiao he had eaten in the morning, and he was hungry now. He took a sip of the teacup and put it down.

He stopped smiling.

“How do you feel?” Pei Caicai asked.”

“It’s like a shrew cursing in the market!”

“It is!”

Pushing the two pastries over, Pei Caihua took a piece of pastry and ate it. As he ate, he said,” These are just small battles. The bigger the positions involved, the more factions there will be. When the time comes, even the generals in the entire court will be unable to avoid it. When the time comes, the war of words will become even more intense.”

Zhang Ronghua voiced out his guess, “I’m afraid that none of the factions will be able to get the positions that Cao Shan Zhang and the others have left.”

“Yes.” Pei Caihua nodded.

“The table has been flipped, and no one will be convinced by the other. At most, in two or three days, the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs will come up with a regulation and present it to His Majesty to determine the empty position.”

A smart person did not need to speak too much. His Majesty would arrange the candidates for these six positions.

If the table hadn’t been flipped over, everyone would have been able to get a bite of meat. Now, they couldn’t even get a sip of soup.

Pei Cai praised him.” You did well this time. You took advantage of Grand Secretary Cui’s men’s trouble and defeated them. You even let Jin Yaoguang and the other two return to their official positions. When the biography of the Heavenly Emperor is completed, they will still be fifth-grade officials, even if they can’t return to their original positions. If you work harder, you will be able to enter the imperial court and help you.”

“It’s all thanks to Uncle Pei’s teachings.”

“Sly!”

After finishing the pastries and drinking a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, Pei Caihua asked curiously,””What is the content of the Celestial Thearch’s Legacy?”

Zhang Ronghua had guessed that he would ask. This matter could not be hidden. The five elders had seen it, and their trusted aides would definitely be curious and ask. His Majesty had not issued an edict to keep it a secret, so he would definitely say it. What everyone knew was not a secret. He told them the contents and outline of the compilation.

After listening.

Pei Caicai looked as if he had just met him. His wise eyes seemed to see through him. He was shocked. It was not as simple as it seemed. He thought that Zhang Ronghua was very capable, but he did not expect him to be so strong. He actually came up with a big killing weapon and hit the Emperor’s heart..
