The waters of the Imperial Censorate ran very deep. He was the only one transferred this time. Without any foundation here, he could not even make a move.
“Come in!” Bai Yichang’s face darkened and he said coldly.
The door of the palace was pushed open, and his confidant entered. He closed the door and walked over quickly. He told Han Zhenggang about how he had taken the initiative to meet Zhang Ronghua and then left.
The atmosphere was oppressive. It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them.
Pang Youshan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, soaking his undergarments. No wonder he had this feeling. If Han Zhenggang had joined them, with his foundation in the Imperial Censorate, he would not have known them like the back of his hand, but he would have been more or less at a
disadvantage.
However, he was puzzled!
Han Zhenggang wasn’t He Wenxuan’s man? The two factions were enemies. If he was in such a hurry to express his stance, could it be that he had betrayed them? It shouldn’t be! Otherwise, there would be no good consequences.
He thought about what had happened in the imperial court. Did Grand Secretary Cui get permission to help? This was the only possible explanation.
“Do you understand?” asked Bai Yichang.
“I’ve thought it through!” Pang Youshan nodded solemnly.
“Yes, sir!”
He bowed and left the hall. He quickened his pace and hurried back.
In the courtyard.
Zhang Ronghua clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the people in front of him. The people of the four divisions were all here, including Pang Youhao’s trusted aides. They had to come. The order had already been passed. Unless they were not in the Imperial Censorate, if they dared not come, they would be charged with the crime of “disrespecting the superior”, which was enough to make them suffer.
They were both divisions, but they were different from the Spirit Research Division.
The left and right Imperial Censors were the main posts, and the left and right Imperial Censors were the deputy posts. There were no posts below them, unlike the Spirit Research Department, which was divided into the Material Hall, the Research and Development Hall, and so on.
“Explain them one by one,” he said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Let’s start!” Zhang Ronghua pointed at the first person on the left.” We’ll start with you!”
Feeling the gazes from the people around him, this person didn’t want to speak, but he couldn’t avoid them. Just as he was about to speak, hurried footsteps sounded. Pang Youshan walked in with a cold expression and stopped
beside him.” What does Censor Zhang mean by this?”
“I want to ask you, why did it take so long to send someone to inform them?”
“I drank too much tea.”
“You can stay here forever,” Zhang Ronghua said.
“You…!” Pang Youshan was just about to flare up, but he only said one word before swallowing the rest.
He turned around and looked at the people in front of him. Almost all of them were here, except for Han Zhenggang. Yang Yilai was standing at the back. If one didn’t have sharp eyes, they wouldn’t have noticed him at all. Seeing that he was expressionless and his eyes were lifeless, like a walking corpse, his spirit was taken away, and his heart was relieved.
She was puzzled. Where did Han Zhenggang go?
“Censor Zhang asked you to report your work. Begin!” he said coldly.
The four divisions were divided into three factions. One faction was Pang Youhao’s people, one faction was Zhao Chengjie’s people, and the last faction was fence-sitters. They followed the wind and stood on the side of whoever had the most power.
When Zhao Chengjie was still around, the people in his faction and the backbone of his faction had all distanced themselves from him after his identity was exposed and he was caught. They were afraid that they would be implicated and their families would be implicated.L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏(.)co𝒎
Now that Pang Youshan had spoken, most of the people knew what to do. Starting from the first person on the left, they simply introduced themselves, saying only their names, and then shut their mouths. The people behind them followed suit until everyone had finished introducing themselves.
“You may leave!”
“Did I let you go?” Zhang Ronghua’s voice sounded just as everyone was about to leave.
He stopped walking and looked over in confusion.
“Again!” Zhang Ronghua said again.
“What does Censor Zhang mean by this?”
“I asked them to introduce themselves, but only one name? Or was this how his job was? If it was, then it was a serious dereliction of duty! One by one, all of you will be stripped of your official positions and demoted to civilians!” Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Zhang Ronghua was too ruthless. He wanted to kill all of them without saying a word. No one doubted his words, and no one doubted whether the four divisions would be paralyzed if they left!
Three-legged toads were hard to find, but two-legged people were a dime a dozen. The Imperial Censorate had a lot of power and was a popular department. Many people wanted to join, and the work was simple. They didn’t need to have basic knowledge like the Ministry of Works, such as identifying materials, refining weapons, and making talismans. As long as they had a mouth, they would be done.
He subconsciously looked at Pang Youshan, wanting to see what he would do.
Suppressing his anger!
Pang Youshan was at his wit’s end. Zhang Ronghua opened his mouth and shut his mouth. He had played the rules very well. What could he use to resist? Even if he made a fuss in the court, he would not be in the right. He endured the grievance and suffered this loss. He shouted, “Didn’t you hear Imperial Censor Zhang’s words?” Report in detail!”
He started from the first person on the left again. This time, it was much more detailed. He introduced his name, position, and what he was responsible for. Until the last person.
“Is there anything else you want to say, Censor Zhang?” Pang Youshan asked again.
Zhang Ronghua came up and said, “Do your job well and don’t forget the rules!” It’s said that a new official has three fires. Don’t let me burn the first fire on your heads. ”
He waved his hand.
“You may leave!”
Everyone left.
Pang Youshan glared at him fiercely, flung his sleeves, and walked out. His heart was heavy. Just in case, he still had to give Yang Yi another warning.
They entered the main hall.
“The show has just begun,” Zhang Ronghua teased.
The work of the Imperial Censorate was too easy. Other than scolding people, it was still scolding people. Now was not the time to go to the Hall of Ten Thousand Books. They would wait for Ding Yi to come over and have someone watch over them before moving..
