Chapter 258: The Confrontation Between Two Women

Su Qiutang also kept her temper and only occasionally vented it in front of her. In front of outsiders, she was always that unattainable and powerful woman. No one dared to look at her directly. She said with a serious expression,”Before entering the Hall of Scholars, we could still control them. After entering the Hall of Scholars, we became the head of the hall and got in touch with Pei
Caicai. As his ability was revealed, he took control of the Hall of Scholars. This time, he even ruthlessly schemed against He Wenxuan and made him take the blame. In addition, Yang Hongling was already out of control.”
He looked in the direction of the Eastern Palace and continued.
“Now that he’s gone to the Eastern Palace, Shimin’s attitude towards him has changed. It’s much better than before. Every time he comes over to give him a seat and let Shuang ‘er serve him tea, he no longer treats him as a subordinate of the Eastern Palace or as a minister.”
“Shi Min can control it?”
“Yes!” Su Qiutang nodded without thinking.
“His identity and background, including Zheng Fugui, are all marked with the Eastern Palace! Li Shimin had treated him well. If he betrayed him, his reputation would be completely ruined. No matter how capable he was, such a person would not be able to enter the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets in the future. At most, he would be a censor!”
Her red phoenix eyes rolled a few times. With each turn, the light in her beautiful eyes became brighter and the words she said became colder. The Empress continued, “Do you think Shimin is preparing for the future?”
Su Qiutang was shocked. At this moment, she thought about many things. She thought about Zhang Ronghua’s ability. If Shimin knew about his ability from the beginning and transferred him to an important department like the Scholar Hall, he would be promoted to a higher position after he had enough experience.
If he followed the prescribed steps, no accidents would happen. If he wanted to be promoted, he would have to endure two years in the Scholar Hall, or even longer. But at this time, the First Prince, that idiot, actually got Qian Wenli to act. He wanted to deal with him, but he outsmarted himself. He met Ding Yi in the Scholar Hall, subdued him, and registered his books, adding to his qualifications. He also took down Qian Wenli and the other two, completely taking control of the Scholar Hall and becoming the manager. Although he didn’t get promoted, his qualifications rose.
He Wenxuan was a good-for-nothing!
As the manager of the Tianji Pavilion, he had a much higher official position than him and had the upper hand. Not only did he not gain an advantage, but he was also schemed against and offended Changqing Academy.
Every day, he would send out memorials. It seemed like they were torturing him, but at the same time, they were giving him qualifications. These were all recorded in the files of the Ministry of Personnel, and he would need them when he was promoted.
When one had enough experience and ability, no one could stop them even if someone added fuel to the fire!
When he climbed to a higher position, he would become the biggest trump card in Shi Min’s hands, plus the network he weaved… Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at the Empress.
I’ve made so many plans for so long, I’m not allowed to have any mishaps! Zhang Ronghua increased his efforts to rope him in. Money, official positions, cultivation resources, beauties, as long as he wanted them, he would give them all to him! Continue to keep an eye on Shimin!”
Su Qiutang understood what she meant. They were now on the same boat as Zhang Ronghua and had a common enemy. Before they were defeated, they must not panic and give others a chance.
Only by uniting internally and integrating all the forces against the outside world could they have the last laugh.
However, in this huge interest group, everyone had their desires. They were not puppets who would do whatever they were told. They would not be so obedient. As they interacted more and had more power in their hands, it was inevitable that they would have other ideas. At this time, they had to compare the methods of both parties to see who was better.
If they could rope in Zhang Ronghua, the benefits would be huge. With his ability and their support, he would be promoted very quickly. Coupled with his network, his power would rise to a higher level, and he could also give Shi Min a warning!
He nodded heavily and sighed, ‘”Who would have thought that the first time he came to the Tranquil Heart Palace, he was a yes-man and relied on us to enter the Imperial Palace’s arsenal. In just a short period of time, he has grown to such a height and made us look at him seriously.”
In the royal study.
The Xia Emperor was currently dealing with memorials. As the Human Emperor of the Grand Xia Empire, even if the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was responsible for handling the administrative matters, there were still many simple replies to the memorials. There were simply too many military and political matters to be handled.
As long as he slacked off a little every day, the memorials would pile up like a mountain, and he would have to work overtime at night.
He put down the pen and rubbed his sore and swollen wrist. He stretched his body and instinctively reached out his hand to ask Wei Shang to pass him the teacup. After a while, there was nothing in his hand. He turned around and saw that there was no one around. Only then did he remember that he had gone out.
He took the exquisite teapot and poured himself a cup. Holding the teapot, the tea was covered with ripples. With each ripple, the taste became more fragrant. When the water cooled down, he took a few sips and placed the teacup on the side.
He clenched his five fingers, and his old hands clasped together with great strength. With a slight movement, a muffled sound could be heard, and the strength was much stronger than before.
Narrowing his eyes, he looked in the direction of the Scholar’s Hall. The Supreme Nirvana Life Technique created by that little fellow was quite effective. Other than strengthening his meridians, body, and soul, it could also increase his lifespan. It was unlike other cultivation techniques that increased his lifespan, which had too high a restriction or mediocre effects. Most importantly, it would not be detrimental to his body.. That was the key!
