Behind him, the Crown Prince wore a four-clawed dragon robe and followed behind him with a straight face. His aura could not compare to Emperor Xia’s, but it was still very strong. The pressure of the Crown Prince was displayed vividly. There was no need to deliberately display it. A look or an action was enough to use his aura to the extreme.
Wei Shang and two eunuchs followed closely behind them.
On the imperial platform, the Xia Emperor sat on the dragon throne. The Crown Prince stood on his left, and Wei Shang stood on his right. The two eunuchs were a step behind Wei Shang.
The civil and military officials, princes, dignitaries, and clan relatives bowed
(civil officials bowed, generals cupped their fists) and shouted, “Greetings, Your Maiesty!”
It was uniform and loud. Even though the Amethyst Gate was closed and the soundproofing was very good, the terrifying sound waves still spread out. The Xia Emperor said in a low voice,&ququot; No need to be polite!”
“I have something to report!” Wei Shang said loudly. If there’s nothing else, I’ll withdraw from court.”
Grand Elder Cui stepped forward and bowed.””Your Majesty, the Legend of the Human Emperor lacks the records of the last twenty years or so, so it cannot highlight your supreme and magnificent deeds in the last twenty years. This old minister suggests that we arrange for candidates to be re-edited so that the world will forever remember your divine and peerless achievements!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet hall became even quieter. One could even hear the heartbeats of the civil and military officials.
Those who were good at politics could tell that Grand Secretary Cui was implying something.
” The Legend of Human Emperor ” recorded Emperor Xia’s brilliant and heroic life. It was very detailed. From the time Emperor Xia was a prince, he recorded every important thing he did, including governing, dealing with foreign affairs, suppressing the True Spirit Hundred Races, ferocious beasts, demonic beasts, and the war against the Grand Shang Dynasty. Back then, in order to compile it, many scholars and scholars were mobilized. After three years and countless changes, it was barely able to reach Emperor Xia’s bottom line.
It took a long time and consumed countless manpower, financial resources, and material resources. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a difficult task. It was a thankless task, and the rewards were not proportional to the effort.
It wasn’t that the Xia Emperor was stingy. He had gathered so many people, but in the end, he had created such a thing. It had barely reached his bottom line. It was already good enough that he hadn’t punished them, but he still wanted to reward them? They would be secretly happy if he gave them a little token.
After it was compiled, the biography of the Human Emperor was printed in batches in the name of the imperial court. It was then distributed to all the provinces, from the provincial government to the prefectures, from the prefecture government to the counties, and finally from the counties to the towns below. People were sent to interpret it, so that the people of Xia would remember it in their hearts. They would deeply feel that peace was not easy to come by, and then brand Emperor Xia’s kindness in their hearts.
There must be a conspiracy if he didn’t mention it earlier or later, but at this time!
Considering the animosity between Grand Secretary Cui and Pei Caihua, he had a clear goal. He wanted to stop Pei Caihua from joining the pavilion. As long as he could stall for three years, Grand Secretary Cui would be able to get enough support for He Wenxuan. Then, he could raise He Wenxuan’s prestige to the highest level and let him join the Tianji Pavilion to take over his position.
At this time, even if Pei Cai compiled the Legend of the Human Emperor, the opportunity to enter the pavilion was already gone. Even if he made great contributions, he would not be able to enter the Tianji Pavilion. Unless someone retired, he would be able to make up for it.
Pei Caihua was the Minister of Rites. Once this matter was decided, he was duty-bound to lead the compilation of the Legend of the Human Emperor.
After he finished speaking, the people under Grand Secretary Cui stepped forward one after another and agreed to recompile the biography of the Human Emperor, filling in the great achievements of Emperor Xia in the next twenty years, and then revising the previous ones.
For a time, many people in the imperial court stood up!
This was an open scheme! No matter how unfriendly he was, he couldn’t refuse the fawning of the Xia Emperor. If he refused, wouldn’t he be rejecting the Xia Emperor’s great life? Even if no imperial censor jumps out to scold you, the imperial court will not be able to stay any longer. If you don’t freeze you until you die, it will be a waste of your courage.
Zhang Ronghua was shocked. Was this the power that the Grand Secretary could control? Many of the people who had stepped forward had important positions and were so powerful that no one dared to ignore them. It was no wonder that the Evergreen Academy didn’t dare to fight with Grand Secretary Cui and had their eyes on He Wenxuan! If they were to engage in a real battle, they would definitely be the ones at a disadvantage.
The thought flashed through his mind. Grand Secretary Cui probably had ulterior motives. If Pei Caihua really took over, he would be transferred as well.
Not only that, but those who didn’t get along with Grand Secretary Cui would also be transferred in. There were many forces involved, and a fierce battle might break out. It would depend on who was the better one.
His heart was heavy. The other party didn’t play any tricks with you. They were clearly playing an open scheme. You had to accept it even if you didn’t want to. There was no other way!
At this moment.
Everyone’s gaze landed on Pei Caihua. The confrontation between them had already reached the level of fire and water. They wanted to see how he would receive the attack.
Pei Cai was not in a hurry. After Grand Secretary Cui’s men stepped out, he took a step forward and bowed, saying in a low voice,’”‘l agree! It had been so many years since the biography of the Human Emperor was compiled. It was not enough to show His Majesty’s divine achievements and supreme achievements!
As the Minister of Rites, this old minister is duty-bound to be the leader! However, this is a serious matter. Even though I’m capable, I can’t help but fail to handle it properly. Lord He, the head of the Tianji Pavilion, is an outstanding scholar. He has been learning from Grand Secretary Cui for years, and his knowledge and ability have improved greatly.. With his help, I’m sure I can compile a more perfect biography of the Human Emperor!”
