Chapter 1537: Proposing a Marriage to Emperor Xia Chapter 1537: Proposing a Marriage to Emperor Xia The Xia Emperor highly praised him and rewarded him for his two contributions.
Zhang Ronghua bowed and left.
Looking at the closed door, Emperor Xia’s face immediately turned cold.
A chill spread out and enveloped the entire hall.
Even Wei Shang could not help but shudder.
After a while, he said,” Hurry up and refine the Fifth Revolution Primordial Chaos Laws Divine Pill!”
“I’ve already done my best.”
“Not enough!” The Xia Emperor shook his head.
” If I am forced to a dead end, he will very likely reveal the Celestial Thearch’s God Sealing Technique.
…
At that time, the fact that I have lived for twelve years will be exposed.”
Wei Shang was shocked.
He dares?”
“Zhen will not give him any chance!”
..
At Xuanwei Gate.
Seeing Qing Lin come out, Xu Xing quickly went up to him.
The two of them walked to the side and could not help but ask,” How is it?”
“It’s done,” said Zhang Ronghua with a smile.
“Thanks!” Xu Xing asked again.
“Where are Uncle Jiu and the others?”
“There’s no effect,” Zhang Ronghua replied.
“Are you free tonight?”
“You can drink anytime, but I can’t get away now.”
“Alright, I’ll go back first,” said Xu Xing.
Zhang Ronghua did not leave the palace immediately.
He walked towards the Ministry of Personnel.
Since he was here, he had to go and take a look.
At this point.
” Master!” Su Wenzhang rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
He bowed and greeted the master.” Greetings, Master!”
Zhang Ronghua pointed at the chair opposite him.
He poured a cup of tea from the teapot and placed it on the table in fear.
“Did anything unusual happen in the Ministry of Official Personnel during my absence?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
“I was just about to report this matter.” Su Wenzhang said.
“The official assessment will begin tomorrow.
Minister Jiang suddenly fainted in the hall at noon yesterday.
The imperial doctor examined him and said that his old illness had relapsed and he needs to recuperate for a period of time.
You weren’t around either.
The matters of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs were handled by Assistant Minister Qin.
Now that you’re back, he will come over soon.”
Assistant Minister Qin’s name was Qin Wenhai, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a subordinate of Emperor Xia.
Zhang Ronghua tapped the table with two fingers.” Dong dong.” He asked,” Have you seen it?”
“I can’t see anything unusual!
It shouldn’t be a coincidence that he fell ill at this time.”
The hidden meaning was that Jiang Shangcheng pretended to be sick to avoid this hot potato.
Zhang Ronghua was far-sighted.
He had no idea when he would be back.
Even if he wanted to scheme, he couldn’t do it.
He deduced that the target should be Qin Wenhai and let him take the thunder.
Although they were the Xia Emperor’s men, they were not of the same group.
The two of them were in the same department, one in charge and the other in charge.
It was inevitable that they would have some dirty dealings for the sake of profit.
It was just that they did not show it and were limited to the internal department.
To others, the official assessment was a job that offended people.
It was official business.
Offending a large number of officials was a big deal, but the rain was small.
They left evidence for their political opponents to attack.
To him, it was a sharp weapon, especially at this time.
It brought even more lethality.
He could use this opportunity to get rid of all the officials of Changqing Academy.
As for the empress, the three dukes, and the other powers, he would let them continue to fight against the Xia Emperor.
Only when both sides suffered would he gain the greatest benefits.
He had two plans.
First, he would investigate the Green Cloud Peak.
He was a member of the Qing Clan, Qing An’s first and second uncle, the Minister of Revenue, a second-rank official, and a leading figure in the court of Changqing Academy.
Second, he would visit Jiang Shangcheng and find out if he was really sick or not.
If it was the former, it would be fine.
If it was the latter, there was a huge conspiracy behind it.
Emperor Xia had set him up.
After making up his mind, he ordered,” Secretly investigate the officials led by the Green Cloud Peak.
Find out the details of anyone who has anything to do with them or Changqing Academy, whether it’s in the capital or elsewhere.”
Gulp!
” What?” Su Wenzhang gulped subconsciously.
He guessed the adults ‘intentions and voiced his concern.” Will we be used as weapons by others?”
“There’s no way out at this point,” said Zhang Ronghua seriously.”Either we step on other people’s bones, or they step on our bones to get to the top.”
“Understood!”
“Remember!
Be careful, don’t alert the enemy.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve worked in the Ministry of Personnel for so many years.
I still have this bit of confidence.”
“Go!”
“This official will take his leave!”
As soon as Su Wenzhang left, the Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army reported that Qin Wenhai was seeking an audience.
“You came so quickly!” Zhang Ronghua mocked.
He instructed.
“Tell him that I’m not feeling well.
We can talk tomorrow.”
In the courtyard.
Qin Wenhai’s expression did not change after he heard that.
His heart was cold, and he clenched his fists in humiliation.
Su Wenzhang had just come out from inside, and he was just finding an excuse to get rid of him?
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
A chill ran down his spine, and his entire body turned cold.
He secretly guessed that Jiang Shangcheng and Zhang Ronghua had reached some kind of cooperation and joined forces to plot against him.
Didn’t Zhang Ronghua fall out with His Majesty?
How could Jiang Shangcheng still dare to cooperate with him?
Aren’t they afraid that His Majesty will settle the score later?
He couldn’t figure it out!
Since Zhang Ronghua was back, why not learn from Jiang Shangcheng and pretend to be sick?
No!
If he really did this, it didn’t matter what others thought, but what about His Majesty?
In his eyes, wouldn’t she become useless?
If he retreated after encountering a small problem, he would not even be able to keep his current position, let alone get promoted.
In the room.
Although Zhang Ronghua didn’t go out, Qin Wenhai stayed in the courtyard.
He could sense Jiang Shangcheng’s condition for a while.
After confirming that Jiang Shangcheng wasn’t pretending to be sick, he would carry out the next step of his plan.
At that time, he would use him as a knife to deal with Changqing Academy.
The effect was surprisingly good.
He finished the cup of tea.
She stood up, opened the door, and went out.
He had already left.
After leaving the palace, he sat on the Tianji carriage and rushed to the Jiang Mansion.
On the way, he bought some gifts.
He couldn’t visit someone empty-handed, right?
At this point.
The carriage had just stopped when the guard in the lead saw Xia Hou.
He hurriedly ordered someone to go in and report to him.
He then went up to him and took the initiative to take the small stool and place it on the ground.
He cupped his fists and bowed.” Greetings, Lord Marquis!”
“I just came back from work.
I heard that Minister Jiang’s old illness had relapsed, so I came to visit him,” said Zhang Ronghua.
Hurried footsteps sounded from inside.
A young man dressed in a blue brocade robe was called Jiang Kun.
He was the chief clerk of the Third Division and Sixth Hall of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, and he was the eldest son of Jiang Shangcheng.
He brought the butler and the others with him.
With a respectful expression, he came forward and bowed.” Greetings, Lord Marquis!”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
He asked.
“How is Minister Jiang?”
“This is not the place to talk.
Please come in!” Jiang Kun made a gesture of invitation.
Zhang Ronghua passed the gift to him and walked in front.
Jiang Kun took half a step back to show his respect and told them about his father’s situation on the way.
When he was young, he had contracted a cold.
He was poor at that time and did not even have the money to study.
Where did he get the money to buy medicine?
He could only endure it and try to get through it.
Later on, when he recovered, the root of the illness was left behind.
It would relapse once or twice a year.
This year was the first time.
He did not expect it to happen at this juncture.
Zhang Ronghua would not easily believe a person’s words, especially a political enemy.
However, he said it in an orderly manner, and it didn’t look like he was faking it.
Could it be true?
If it was fake, they knew about his medical skills.
Now that they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, they should stop him in every way possible, not be frank.
He couldn’t make a conclusion yet.
He would only know after seeing it.
“Minister Jiang has suffered!”
As they spoke, they went to the backyard and entered the bedroom.
The others stayed outside while Jiang Kun and the butler followed them.
In the room.
Jiang Shangcheng was lying on the bed, his face as pale as a sheet of paper.
There was no color in his face.
Occasionally, he would cough violently, and there would be blood.
