Zhang Ronghua told him what he had decided before.
After listening.
Su Ming pondered for a moment. When he saw that he did not miss anything, he said, “Let them wait for news.’ He stood up from his chair.
“Let’s go!”
After leaving the Ministry of Personnel, he led a team of Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army towards the Imperial Censorate.
Ding Yi’s appointment had not been announced yet, so he could not come over for the time being. He had to wait!
Su Ming personally sent him to his post. When he arrived, the Imperial
Censorate had already received the news that the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs had come personally, and they did not dare to slack off.
The Imperial Censorate was led by the Imperial Censor, and its rank was the same as that of the six ministers. Below it were the left and right Vice Imperial Censorates, and the left and right Assistant Ministers of the six ministers.
Their official positions were the same, followed by the Imperial Censorate’s Imperial Attendants, who participated in the affairs of the ministry and had different responsibilities. They were the higher-ups of the Imperial Censorate. Then each department, set up around the prison are censor, from three grades.
The Imperial Censorate was very interesting. It was unlike the six departments, where the head was a doctor. Although the supervisor’s official position was one level higher, he was only in charge of logistics to ensure the normal operation of each profession.
Each of the divisions under it had censors of the left and right. They were all from the third grade. They would listen to whoever had the greatest ability and profound methods. If they were not capable enough, they would be instantly taken over.
The Imperial Censor was called Du Chengming. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He had a square face, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes like the edge of a blade. He exuded a great pressure and his official prestige was very heavy. Ordinary officials did not dare to look him in the eye. He was iron-blooded and experienced. As long as one was targeted by him, they would not have a good ending. If it was light, they would lose their official position, and if it was serious, they would go to jail. He had a fierce reputation.
In the front yard.
Du Chengming cupped his hands and smiled formally.” If I had known that you were coming, I would have ordered people to clean up, sprinkle water, and spray incense.”
“I’m just afraid that your people will stand up and accuse me of abusing my power in court the next day.” Su Ming teased.
They looked at each other and smiled.
“There’s no need for any introductions, right?” Su Ming pointed at Zhang Rong Hua. I think you all know Qing Lin’s name!”
He didn’t call her by her name, but deliberately addressed her by her cousin’s name to stand up for her.
Everyone understood what he meant.
Du Chengming said,” Censor Zhang’s ability is well-known. He is talented and powerful. During his time in charge of the Spirit Research Department, he has made countless contributions. We have long been jealous and wanted to ask him to come and shine in the Imperial Censorate. We didn’t expect that it would come true. With him joining, the burden on everyone present will be much lighter. The officials won’t dare to play favoritism and take bribes!”
“I’ll leave him to you,” Su Ming said.”The Ministry of Personnel still has some matters to deal with.”
He turned around and left.
“Zhao Chengjie is in charge of the Fourth Division and is working with Pang Youshan,” said Du Chengming.
Pang Youshan was the Imperial Censor of the Left. He was a middle-aged man who was slightly thin. His eyes were gloomy. He walked out from the crowd and bowed.” Greetings, Your Excellency!”
“Censor Zhang is new here, so he’s not familiar with the Imperial Censorate. Bring him there,” Du Chengming instructed.
“Yes, sir!” Pang Youshan replied.
He waited for the lords to leave.
“Censor Zhang, this way please.” He smiled and made an inviting gesture.
After a while.
The two of them entered the courtyard of the Fourth Division and stopped outside a palace.
Pang Youshan said,” This is Censor Zhao’s office hall. After he was captured, it became empty. After the morning court session, your appointment was given. You will be transferred here soon. Order people to clean it up and change the tables and chairs.”
He pushed open the palace door and walked in. He pointed at the brand new tables and chairs. They were made of ordinary yellow pear wood. They were only average and did not match Zhang Ronghua’s current status. They were not even as good as the ones at the Spirit Research Department.
“The Fourth Division’s palace is in a tight spot. We can’t make room for a new hall. We can only make do with it.”
He had just arrived and he was already showing off? A palace made by a spy? Attacking prestige? Telling others that this was all?
” This palace is too big. I’m not used to it.” Zhang Ronghua sneered in his heart. He still had a straight face.
Pang Youshan was smug, but Zhang Qinglin was nothing more than this! Seeing that the situation was not good, he was about to cower. I’ll get someone to prepare a smaller palace for your office.”
Zhang Ronghua shook his head. Just add a set of tables and chairs in your palace. The quality doesn’t have to be too good. It’ll be according to your standards. ”
The atmosphere was stiff!
Pang Youshan was furious. Zhang Qinglin, how dare you wait here! Rumors had it that this person was very capable. The short confrontation was indeed worthy of his reputation. He easily resolved the current attack. He did not feel embarrassed. He slapped his head and pretended to have just remembered.” Look at my memory. I actually forgot about this. There’s a hall next door that has never been used. The tables and chairs are all new. Let’s go!” Let’s go over and see if you’re satisfied.”
“Alright.” Zhang Ronghua agreed.
He stopped again.
Looking at the palace in front of him, it was facing south. The location was very good, clean and tidy. Water was sprinkled on it, and fragrance was sprayed. The water droplets on the ground were still wet. It seemed that it had not been prepared long ago. The tables and chairs were all made of hundred-year-old purple wood, and there were also matching bookshelves, reclining chairs, teapots, and so on. Everything was prepared.
It seemed that he had prepared two palaces at the same time. If he did not counterattack or if he did not respond appropriately, Zhao Chengjie’s palace would be his office and there would not be this brand-new hall.
“How is it?” Pang Youshan asked.
“It won’t go overboard, right?” Zhang Ronghua asked.
“Do it according to the rules. Don’t worry! It’s the same at my place.”
“Alright! Right here.”
“I still have things to deal with. I’ll go back first.”
Pang Youshan strode away. When he saw the threshold, his right foot had already stepped out. He could leave in the next step. Zhang Ronghua’s voice sounded again..” Censor Pang, have you forgotten something?”
