Huo Jingxiu sighed in her heart. She thought of her father’s evaluation of Zhang Ronghua. He was capable, knew when to advance and retreat, and knew the big picture. Today, she saw that he was even conservative. He considered the interests of all parties and did not decline. The relationship between the two sides did not need to be polite.” Qian Baomo is not bad. He has a solid foundation and is capable. He is competent.”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
They chatted for a while more and arranged the matters of the Spirit Research Department.
Huo Jingxiu, Zhao Yi, Huang Zhongshi, and the others took their leave. It was not suitable for them to participate in the following conversation.
Pei Haoran closed the door and returned.
“What did Uncle Pei do?” Zhang Ronghua took a sip from his teacup and put it down.
Brother Hua, why don’t you ask Brother Ding?”
“He is different from you.”
“Father told me to listen to your arrangements.”
” The Imperial Censorate’s job is to offend people. Uncle Pei has reached a critical point in his assault on the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. If he brings you along, he won’t be able to answer to the higher- ups if he doesn’t do something. If he does, he will attract hatred. With my protection, they won’t be able to do anything, but they will cause trouble for your father. It doesn’t matter if there are one or two of them, but if there are too many of them, they will ruin the plan at the critical moment.”
Pei Haoran was dejected, like a rooster beaten by frost.
Zhang Ronghua patted him on the shoulder.” With this contribution, you can go to the Hall of Scholars and get a promotion. When you get there, study hard and grow up as soon as possible. You have to be able to deal with any storm.”
“I understand!” Pei Haoran nodded heavily.
“Have you figured out the situation at the Imperial Censorate?”
Ding Yi shook his head.” After the court session, I’ll send people to investigate.
The water is very deep, and on the surface, they’re clean. From the Imperial Censors to the ordinary Imperial Censors, none of them are from a faction.” When the water is clear, there are no fish.
Although the Imperial Censorate was a special department that was in charge of supervision, impeachment, and recommendations, and had immense power, and the people who entered it had clean identities. They could not be people from factions, so that they could ensure that they were fair and impartial and did not get involved in personal desires, the entire department, starting from the Imperial Censorate to the people below, was clean. It could only be said that the methods were brilliant.
I’m not going to show myself if I don’t force you,” Zhang Ronghua teased. His eyes were cold.
He stood up from his chair.
“I’ll go to the Ministry of Personnel Affairs to handle the transfer procedures!” He opened the door and walked out.
Su Ming had been to the office hall once before. This was his second time. Once he arrived, he stopped outside. The Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army knocked on the door and asked for instructions.” Sir, Imperial Censor Zhang from the Imperial Censorate requests an audience!”
“Come in!”
The Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army pushed open the door of the hall and made an inviting gesture. They waited for him to enter before closing the door.
Su Ming brewed the tea. It seemed like he had waited for a while.
“Greetings, Lord Su!” Zhang Ronghua bowed.
“Sit!”
He pulled out a chair and sat down.
Su Ming poured a cup of tea from the teapot and handed it over. It was still red lotus grape tea. Different people would feel different when drinking it.
“Thank you, sir!”
He held the teacup and pressed the lid of the tea. When the tea had cooled down, he took a sip and tasted it again. It was different from the last time. This time, it felt like a sunny day after the rain, relaxing both physically and mentally.
He put down the teacup.
“Did you see anything?” Su Ming asked.
As if he had guessed Zhang Ronghua’s vague answer, he added, “Tell me the truth.’
There was no doubt that the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was the Xia Emperor’s man. This conversation should be on behalf of the Xia Emperor.
After a moment of silence.
“Once you start, I’m afraid there will be a next time,” Zhang Ronghua said with a serious expression.
Su Ming agreed.” Human hearts are no longer what they used to be. People are different. Some like money, some like power, some are obsessed with martial arts, and there are even some who want to control everything and operate according to their own orders. The Imperial Censorate had more than one flood dragon hidden in the water, and it had a lot of power. Ordinary people who entered would either be assimilated, lose their official positions, or even go to jail. “But you are different. You are young, aggressive, and capable. Everything you do is for the sake of the people of Great Xia. Throughout your journey, the enemies you face are stronger than the last. No matter how they suppress you, you will still make a name for yourself. When you get there, do well! Don’t disappoint us.”
“I understand!”
Don’t worry about your parents and uncle,” Su Ming continued.” I promise you that no one will be able to hurt them.”
It seemed that his guess was correct.
“This way, I can go all out and do my best.” Zhang Ronghua expressed.
get a satisfactory answer
Su Ming smiled and clapped his hands. The door to the hall opened, and a civil servant walked in with a tray. He placed it on the table, bowed respectfully, and left before closing the door.
“I’ve already prepared it for you. Change into your new official uniform and see if it fits.”
Zhang Rong Hua stood up. Just as he was about to bring the tray into the room to change his clothes, Su Ming said,”lt’s fine!”
He took off his White Crane official uniform, revealing a set of white undergarments. He put on the new official uniform. It was golden-red, with less gold and more red. The workmanship was exquisite, and a blue phoenix was embroidered on the chest. It fit him well and had a certain degree of tightness. Then, he put away the waist token.
Su Ming sized him up carefully and changed into his new official robes. Under the contrast, he fused his heroic spirit and official might together. His presence was powerful, and as Zhang Rong Hua’s face tensed up, a great pressure spread out from him. Ordinary people did not even dare to look him in the eye. They praised him,” Not bad.”
“Great praise, sir.”
“What are the arrangements for the Spirit Research Department?” Su Ming
asked..
