Chapter 891: Destroy a Division
He was referring to the appointment of officials. The Imperial Censorate had one official third grade and two subordinate third grade positions, and there were a number of other official positions. The Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice had one subordinate third grade position each, as well as other positions.
There were too many. It was impossible to take all of them for himself. At most, he would take the majority.
Zhang Ronghua extended two fingers and tapped the table, making a ” dong dong ” sound as he calculated the distribution plan.
No!
He had forgotten about Pang Youshan. Including the Secondary Rank Three he had vacated, the Imperial Censorate had a total of three Secondary Rank Three.
Although the third rank was not bad, the Xia Emperor did not take a fancy to it and was still waiting. At the very least, it was Li Yuliang’s position, or even Du Chengming’s position. In this way, he would be able to obtain even more positions.
However, his considerations were not limited to this. He wanted to take this opportunity to move the position of the people who followed him. What was the purpose of others risking their lives? He would still be promoted and rich.
There were too many benefits to consider, and his identity was special. It was not suitable for him to appear.
Now that he had entered the palace first, the Xia Emperor was still waiting for news. In addition to the extermination of his family, it was another sum of money.
“Wait for my news!” he said in a deep voice.
Standing up from his chair, Han Zhenggang quickly ran forward and opened the door to the hall.
After leaving the palace, he led the Human Emperor Guards to the royal study.
After a while.
” Greetings, Your Majesty!” Zhang Ronghua greeted as he entered the main hall.
The Xia Emperor stopped and placed his brush on the inkstone.” How is it?” he asked.
He took out the document from the Five Dragons Spirit Taming Belt and held it with his internal strength.
Wei Shang came down and took the documents. He also used his True Qi to carry them back to the imperial platform. He placed these things on the ground and only took the topmost ones and placed them on the imperial table.
The Xia Emperor stretched out his hand and began to read through the evidence of Bai Yichang’s crimes. After reading through it, he also read through the evidence of Zhao Yueliang and the others.
When it stopped.
His eyes became sharp and cold. His words were filled with killing intent.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Zhang Ronghua replied.
He turned around and left.
After leaving the royal study, he summoned a Human Emperor Guard and had him send a message to Ding Yi, asking him to bring people to raid his house. After he had captured the person, he would rush to the market and supervise the execution.
He changed direction and rushed towards the Ministry of Rites.
If he wanted to achieve his goal, Pei Cai would have to step in.
At the Ministry of Rites.
There was no need to announce anything. They stopped outside the main hall. A Golden Scale Mysterious Sky Army soldier said,”Please wait a moment!”
Knowledge was knowledge, but duty was duty.
He turned around and took two steps forward. He knocked on the door and asked for instructions.” Reporting to Your Excellency. Imperial Censor Zhang of the Right Supervisor of the Imperial Censorate requests an audience!”
In the hall.
Pei Cai brewed a cup of tea. It was a top-grade spiritual tea, the Eastern Sea Ten Thousand Spirit Tea. The rich fragrance of the tea filled the hall. He smiled. It seemed that he had guessed that Zhang Ronghua would come and specially brewed the tea.
After entering the hall, the door was closed from the outside.
“Uncle Pei!” Zhang Ronghua bowed.
“Sit.”
He sat down at the side.
Pei Caicai took the teapot and poured two cups. The tea was steaming hot and emitted steam. He placed one cup in front of him and asked with a smile,” What did His Majesty say?”
“Exterminate the family!”
“It seems like His Majesty is very angry.”
“I can describe it in one sentence, lawless,” said Zhang Ronghua.
“Did Ding Yi bring people over?” Pei Caihua asked again.
“They should be out of the Vermillion Bird Sect by now.”
“The Empress or Ming Fei?”
“Empress!”
” You’re right!” Pei Caihua stopped smiling and looked serious.” It’s indeed terrifying!”
“Where’s Du Chengming?”
Zhang Ronghua shook his head.” I heard from Bai Yichang that he did not participate in Pang Youshan’s case. At his position, he only wants power. No matter how much money he has, he will not be tempted.”
“That’s difficult.”
Zhang Ronghua understood that Emperor Xia was still eyeing the position of Imperial Censor and the position of Deputy Imperial Messenger. Now that he had confirmed that Du Chengming was the Empress’s subordinate, he had to take him down no matter how he looked at it.
“Are you confident?” Pei Caihua asked with concern.
“Everything depends on one’s efforts!”
“Don’t forget, you’re not fighting alone.”
“Nephew understands.”
“How do you arrange the empty seats?” Pei Caihua asked.
After such a long time, Zhang Ronghua thought about the distribution plan and did not hide it.”We don’t have anyone in the Court of Judicial Review. Pang Bing’s vacant position must be taken down. In the future, we can take down people with official documents. We can give up the other positions in the Court of Judicial Review and Ji Minghui’s vacant position and all the officials in the Ministry of Justice. However, they must give up a doctor’s position and transfer Lu Junxiu to the Ministry of Justice. The Scholar Hall will let his deputy take over. This way, we can ensure that the Scholar Hall is still under our control and expand our sphere of influence.”
Pei Caihua stroked his beard with satisfaction and looked pleased. You’re quite thoughtful.”
Zhang Ronghua continued,” Bai Yichang’s position can be given to the Huo Family. We can do Ding Yi a favor and let the Huo Family exert their strength in the army. We can promote Chang ‘an and have a higher official rank. We can control more power.” I will be transferred to the Fourth Division’s Left Imperial Censor. Han Zhenggang will take over the vacant position of the Right Imperial Censor in exchange for the support of Grand Secretary Cui’s faction. Jin Yaoguang will take over his position. Uncle Pei, you can make the arrangements for the two vacant Third Ranks and the other positions in the Imperial Censorate.”
He pondered for a moment.
“Where are Cao Hang and the subordinates of the Spirit Research Department?” Pei Cai asked after confirming that he had not missed anything.
Zhang Ronghua shook his head.” We can’t eat the fat in one bite. Moreover, they have just been promoted not long ago. If they are promoted all at once, their power will grow too fast. Even if they form alliances, the other factions will think of ways to stop them.”
