Lu Junxiu bent his body slightly and lowered his posture. He explained, ” In today’s morning court session, the people of Jixia Academy took the lead in launching an attack in court. They accused Changqing Academy of using unscrupulous means to obtain Haoran’s bone-setting, which was a complete disgrace to scholars. Changqing Academy retorted and made a counter-accusation, saying that Jixia Academy was blind and that they had caused talent to be covered in dust. If they didn’t use it, would they not allow others to use it? They immediately started quarreling. In the end, the people from both sides directly went down the stage and started scolding each other. Their faces were red and flushed. If not for being in the Purple Extreme Hall, they would have long fought.”
He was a little out of breath after talking so much in one breath. He paused for a moment and continued without waiting for Ding Yi to ask again.
In the end, His Majesty came forward and set the tone. Changqing Academy was in the wrong first, so they offered treasures of equal value to compensate
Jixia Academy for their losses. Only then did the matter come to an end.”
Ding Yi thought for a moment and said, ” The feud has already been formed. Jixia Learning Palace has lost so much face this time. They won’t let it go so easily. I just don’t know how they’re going to get back at us!””
Zhang Ronghua took a sip from his teacup and put it down. Emperor Xia’s decision was just as he had expected. Evergreen Academy would compensate him, and Destiny Academy would take advantage of the situation. When they came knocking, the two academies would join forces. Evergreen Academy would have a headache, but he didn’t know how they would act!
Looking at Lu Junxiu, whether it was yesterday’s declaration of allegiance or today’s matter, they were all well done and worth nurturing. It just so happened that he did not have any useful people in the Scholar Hall. If he wanted to control the Scholar Hall, he had to nurture his trusted aides. He said, “Find a main hall in the nearby palace to work. Help me organize the documents and miscellaneous items before sending them over.”
Lu Junxiu was excited and his joy was on his face. He was finally on the boat of the lord. As long as he did well, he would definitely be able to soar in the future.
He thanked him respectfully, “Thank you for your promotion, sir!”
Zhang Ronghua waved his hand, and the latter tactfully retreated and closed the door.
“Brother, can you publish the book now that you’re done with your work?” asked Ding Yi.”
“No rush! You can paint after you’ve refined the spirit herbs and nourished your body. ”
Ding Yi nodded his head heavily and sat down on the blanket. He assumed a meditative posture and took out a 450 -year-old ginseng from his bosom. His eyes were filled with excitement as he ate the ginseng and circulated the Supreme Nirvana Life Technique to refine it.
This time, the age of the spirit herbs was a little higher than any of the previous ones. As his meridians, body, and soul gradually became stronger, his lifespan also increased bit by bit. He could withstand the spirit herbs of a higher age.
This was a good sign!
Zhang Ronghua looked at him for a while and saw that he was normal. He didn’t waste any of the medicine. He retracted his gaze and read the book.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
After the morning court session ended, He Wenxuan returned to the office hall. His butt was still warm.
Elder Cui Ge called him over and did not hide anything from him. He treated him as his successor and told him that his body was getting worse and worse. Even if he had spirit herbs to nourish him, he would not be able to last long. He should make preparations as soon as possible while he was still in office and had not retired. When he was about to retire, he would recommend him to join the pavilion.
The hidden meaning was to tell him that he had Pei Caicai under his control, so there was no need to worry about him finding trouble with him. He had to seize the time and get rid of Pei Caicai’s people so that he would lose power in the court. If possible, it was best to uproot Pei Caicai and then build up his reputation so that his reputation would spread throughout the capital and his prestige would reach the highest. At that time, entering the cabinet would be a certainty.
He returned once again.
He Wenxuan’s expression was extremely ugly as he looked in the direction of the Ministry of Rites. He was furious. If it wasn’t for this old man, he wouldn’t be a Secondary Rank Two now, but a Primary Rank Two. With a little more planning, he would be promoted to Secondary Rank One. Entering the cabinet with the position of Secondary Rank One was almost certain.
However, this old man had jumped out to oppose him and wanted to join the pavilion. He hated him, but he couldn’t get rid of him. He wanted to take care of him. He had lost so many battles and was suppressed. If it weren’t for Grand Secretary Cui’s help, he would have been kicked out of the Pavilion.
His thoughts spun as he thought about how to deal a blow to Pei Caicai and make him lose the chance to enter the pavilion.
Looking in the direction of the Scholar’s Hall, Zhang Ronghua was Zhou
Xuewen’s trusted aide, someone from his faction, and also someone from the Crown Prince’s side. From their simple interactions, Zhang Ronghua was very capable and did not seem to have a military background. His knowledge was especially admirable. Otherwise, he would not have been able to organize all the books in the library and register the old books in the miscellaneous hall.
It was like a button connecting Pei Caicai and the Crown Prince, but the two of them had no connection.
Even if the Crown Prince wanted to rope him in, Pei Caihua would not agree.
If one wanted to enter the cabinet, become a cabinet elder, and have a high position, although there was no rule on the surface that one could not rely on the crown prince or the prince, it had secretly formed an unwritten rule.
The Pavilion Elder was so powerful that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he could cover the sky with one hand. With just a stomp of his foot, the Grand Xia Dynasty would tremble. If they were to join them, wouldn’t that be boosting their strength?
He didn’t know what others were thinking, but His Majesty definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep!
Once he was discovered, he wanted to enter the pavilion? There was no way. From this, it could be inferred that they did not have any interactions. They did not dare to do so even in secret.
