“I understand!”
Pei Caicai smiled.” You are someone that teacher values. You can be said to be my junior brother. I have no selfish motives towards you. As long as I can help, I will definitely help!”
At this point, he glanced at Li Daoran. The latter understood that his lord had something to say to Zhang Ronghua alone. He stood up from the chair and said tactfully,”l’ve made a fool of myself in front of you, sir. I drank too much tea.”
Pei Caihua nodded and waited for him to leave before saying, “You’re the Crown Prince’s man, so you’ve already marked yourself with his mark, at least in the eyes of outsiders! However, the struggle for imperial power was even crueler than that of officialdom. Leaving one more path of retreat for oneself would also mean one more path of retreat in the future! I’ve thought about it all night, but I still can’t guess the reason for the First Prince’s attack, but I’m certain that it wasn’t a coincidence! He had already made his move, so the Crown Prince would definitely receive it! His identity didn’t allow him to escape, or else the loss would be even greater. You had to control the limits well and take advantage of his current status to climb up and grasp greater authority. Even if that day came, you wouldn’t be too passive.”
He could listen to his words, but not all of them. He had to know his limits, but he still had to put on a facade.
“Thank you for your guidance, sir!”
Zhang Ronghua stood up and left the hall. He saw Li Daoran waiting for him in the courtyard. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. After this incident, their relationship became even closer.
When he was transferred to another place, he might be useful one day. The opposite was also the case. With an official friend in the capital and an important department like the Scholar Hall, it was also an additional road.
At the Scholar’s Hall.
Li Daoran instructed and called all the people from the Scholar Hall over. He stood in the square and waited for them to arrive. He pointed at Zhang Ronghua and announced the appointment. “From now on, Lord Zhang will be in charge of the daily work of the Scholar Hall with the position of Lord Scholar. If you have any problems in the future, look for Scholar Zhang!”
When the people below saw Zhang Ronghua standing with him, they guessed the meaning behind it.
News of yesterday’s incident had already spread, and most of them had seen it in person. It was not strange for a scholar to take up the post of Lord.
Li Daoran made a gesture of asking for more and said,””Scholar Zhang, please say a few words.”
“Good!”
Zhang Ronghua stepped forward with a smile on his face. However, in the eyes of some people, he was even more terrifying than a cold blade. A new official took office with three fires. After dealing with Qian Wenli and the others, he naturally wanted to get rid of his people. However, now was not the time. The occasion was not right. He said, “Do your job well and complete the tasks assigned by the higher-ups.”
He waved his hand and dismissed them.
He followed Li Daoran into his hall. The former took out a list and handed it to him. He explained, “The name list records the information of everyone in the Scholar Hall, including their factions. The people circled in red are people from Qian Wenli’s faction.”
Zhang Ronghua tucked the name list into his sleeve.
“You are now the manager, it is not suitable for you to stay in the library hall. I will order people to prepare a hall for you to work in.”
Ding Yi was still there. If he moved to another place, if something went wrong when he consumed the spirit medicine, it would be a big problem.
He pondered for a moment.
“There’s an empty palace next to the library. Get someone to tidy it up. We’ll work there! ‘”‘
“Alright!”
Returning to the library.
Ding Yi was waiting for him and did not consume any spirit herbs to nourish his body. He closed the door and congratulated,””Brother, you’re in power now!
We must celebrate. I’ll treat you to a meal, so I won’t be leaving tonight.”
Zhang Ronghua glared at him,””Your body has just recovered a little, and you want to indulge?”
“I’m just saying. Don’t take it seriously!”
He took out the list that Li Daoran had given him from his sleeve and handed it over.”See if it’s right.”
Ding Yi nodded and sat on the chair. He flipped open the name list and read it seriously. After a while, he finished reading it. With a serious expression, he praised, “The person who gave this list is a talent! The records were very detailed. Just like what was written, the bunch of people in the hall did not have any private goods.” He was curious. “Who gave it to you?” “Li Daoran.”
“No wonder!”
He handed over the name list, blinked, and smiled evilly. “How do we deal with
Qian Wenli’s men?” “Call Lu Junxiu over.””
“Him?” Ding Yi frowned.
Lu Junxiu was one of the people on the list. He was a scholar and had good abilities. He was able to enter the Scholar Hall without any connections, which was enough to prove his ability. However, he was an upright person and did not know how to be flexible. After offending Qian Wenli, his position was continuously adjusted. He worked in the Scholar Hall, then guarded the miscellaneous hall, then cleaned the courtyard. In the end, he was sent to clean the latrines for more than two years. “I understand!”
He got up from his chair and walked out.
It took him some time to bring Lu Junxiu here. It seemed that his temper had been polished after the past few years. He knew how to behave. Before coming here, he had specially washed up and changed into a clean official uniform. He also sprayed perfume to get rid of the stench on his body.
He bowed and lowered his posture.”Greetings, Milord!”
Zhang Ronghua looked at him. He was a young man with average looks, but his lips were thick. He did not have his usual sharpness. His temperament was reserved and he understood the importance of the way of the world. He asked, “Regret?”
“Regret! He didn’t regret it! He regretted that he was too straightforward and had suffered a lot. Now, he didn’t even have the money to rent a house. He had to rely on his wife’s family to help him survive! What he did not regret was that his persistence was not wrong.. If not for his previous persistence, how could he have parted the clouds and seen the sun today? How can we wait for Daren?”
