Chapter 127: Promotion
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, the door opened.
A confidant quickly walked in from outside. His name was Rong Qinggui, a scholar. He stopped in front of him with a panicked expression. “Something happened to His Excellency. Zhang Ronghua went to Li Daoran’s side!”
Qian Wenli frowned, and his expression instantly darkened. Confusion was written all over his face.”From what we’ve found out, there’s no interaction between them. Why did they go to his place?”
“Could it be the Crown Prince?”
“He doesn’t have anyone in the Scholar Hall!” Qian Wenli shook his head. Li Daoran was Pei’s trusted aide. If he dared to rely on the Crown Prince, he would probably not even know how he died.”
He pondered for a moment.
He couldn’t figure it out. Even if his brain was damaged, he still couldn’t figure it out.
“Get someone to continue watching. Report immediately if there’s anything!” Rong Qinggui responded and turned to leave.
Qian Wenli extended two fingers and knocked on the table. He looked in the direction of the Ministry of Rites. “Could it be Pei Caihua?”
Zhang Ronghua had just entered a courtyard. When he was still a few steps away from the palace, the door opened and a middle-aged man walked out with a smile on his face.
Without waiting for him to speak, she self-destructed.”l’m Li Daoran. Are you Zhang Ronghua or Zhang Qinglin?”
“It’s me!”
“Let’s go! Let’s talk inside.”
Li Daoran was very enthusiastic and sincere. He did not seem to be pretending. He pulled him into the hall and closed the door. He let him sit on a chair and personally brewed a pot of tea. He poured a cup and placed it in front of him. Then, he sat opposite him and made an inviting gesture, indicating for him to try it.
Zhang Ronghua held the teacup and pressed it down with the lid. The tea water rippled in circles. After a sip, the tea entered his stomach. There was a bitter taste, but it immediately became sweet. After tasting it, he put down the teacup and praised, “Good tea!”
“It can’t be considered a good tea. It’s barely edible, and it can’t be compared to spiritual tea.”
Li Daoran smiled and shook his head. He seemed to have guessed the confusion in his heart and said, “This morning, Minister Pei told me that you were coming over today and asked me to take care of you.”
Zhang Ronghua had guessed it. The old teacher had come forward to greet Pei Caicai, and now this scene had happened. Everyone would say good things. “Thank you! ”
“You don’t have to be so formal with us! ”
“How much do you know about the responsibilities of the Scholar Hall?”
“I’ve heard His Highness mention a bit about the ‘Grand Union’.”
“I’ll introduce it to you in detail again!”
Li Daoran explained the responsibilities of the Scholar Hall very seriously.
The Scholar Hall was a place to nurture talents. After being gilded here, whether it was being transferred outside or working in other departments in the capital, one’s official position rose very quickly.
Doing odd jobs, serving tea, organizing books, learning government affairs, and conveying orders from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
The best positions were doing odd jobs in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, serving tea, and so on.
After saying that.
“Which department do you want to go to? I’ll arrange it for you!”
Although the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was good, he couldn’t do odd jobs and serve tea. Even in the Eastern Palace, he had never done this.
He didn’t want to learn government affairs or pass down orders.
Some methods were not necessarily correct. Most of them looked at the problem from the perspective of a politician. It was a waste of time to choose the most beneficial one.
It was the same for delivering orders.
He might as well organize his books and read through the books in the Hall of Scholars. With his heaven-defying talent, he might be able to gain some unexpected gains.
“If it’s convenient for you, sir, please transfer me to organize the collection of books!” Zhang Ronghua said after considering the gains and losses.”
Li Daoran frowned. The doubt on his face was very heavy. If it was an ordinary person, it would be reasonable for him to make such a request. However, he was different. The Crown Prince’s hands were far beyond his reach and could not reach this side. However, Pei Caicai had personally greeted him. With him as a backer, it would be difficult for him to organize the books.
Zhang Ronghua explained,” Before I came to the Hall of Scholars, I had already been promoted by one rank. Now, I’m a fifth-rank official. Even if I work in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and receive rewards from the higher-ups, I won’t be promoted in a short period of time. It’s better to hide my strength and bide my time. I’ll wait for my qualifications to be sufficient before seeking advancement.”
Li Daoran came to a sudden realization. In this way, it made sense. His understanding of him went up another level. This person knew his limits and had a good grasp of the situation. He did not rely on his background to cause trouble. Such a person, coupled with the support behind him and the information he had heard, he would definitely have a place in the future six ministers.
“Alright! I’ll arrange your duties now.”
She took his transfer document and wrote it down. It was considered to be filed. Later, it would be handed over to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs for filing. After she was done, she personally brought him to the library.
The news about this side spread to Qian Wenli. He was very puzzled. If it was Pei Caicai’s people, why would they go to the library hall to work? If that was the case, wouldn’t he be frozen?
The speed of promotion there was much slower! Could it be that he knew Li Daoran?
No matter what, he had achieved his goal of hiding.
They arrived at the library.
The huge palace was completely filled with books. There were rows of bookshelves in the hall, and there were only books.
Li Daoran looked around and frowned. He shouted,”Ding Yi!”
After repeating it three times, a weak and weak voice came from the depths of the hall.”Yes!”
Zhang Ronghua was puzzled, but he didn’t ask.
Li Daoran treated him as one of his own and introduced him,”This person’s identity is not ordinary. He’s the only one in the Ding family in the capital. There’s also a grandfather leading troops outside. No one knows what he does exactly! If possible, try not to provoke him. Otherwise, if you cause trouble to His Majesty, His Majesty won’t be able to protect you! Apart from his family background, his body was very weak, worse than a woman’s. A gust of wind could blow him down. He was completely gilded here, and might be transferred
away by the Emperor one day..”
