BXBX NOVEL Chapter 375 - 375: Abandoned
Pei Caihua poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. He smiled kindly and said,””Why are you treating Uncle Pei as an outsider?”
He took a sip of tea.
If we don’t take the first move,” he said, narrowing his eyes.” With Grand
Elder Cui’s skills, he’ll be even more powerful!””
“We’ll take their moves!” Zhang Ronghua said. Now that his people are in our hands, it’s their turn to take the blow.”
“There are a total of nine people in the editing team this time. Other than you and Cheng Zhijie, there are seven more spots.”
Listen to his words and understand his meaning.
When he was in the Purple Extreme Hall, Zhang Ronghua had already said that he would be able to compile a new biography of the Human Emperor within fifteen days. Didn’t he see that the Emperor was so happy that he rewarded the True Dragon Token for the first time!
Just how rare were True Dragon Tokens? Throughout the entire Grand Xia
Dynasty, tnere were no more tnan ten or tnem.
Zhang Ronghua only knew that Ding Yi had one, and the Empress had one, but they couldn’t be counted. She was from the palace, and including his, outsiders only had two True Dragon Tokens.
Only those who achieved great merits could obtain the True Dragon Token. The privilege was too great!
Now that he had joined the editing team, he did not have to worry about anything. He would win while lying down and earn merit points. When the editing of the Legend of the Human Emperor was completed, he would be promoted by one rank at the very least, and there would be other precious rewards.
Pei Caicai asked this question. The hidden meaning was how to distribute the remaining seven credits.
Zhang Ronghua had already considered this matter when he was in the Purple Extreme Hall. He spared no effort to help him stand up for himself. Among the seven spots, he planned to take out two spots to return the favor. The remaining five spots were Ding Yi and Lu Junxiu. There were still three left. Two of them were given to the Crown Prince, and the last one was tentatively decided. However, there was already a candidate, but it still needed to be tested. If he was competent, he would give this spot to him to help him leap over the dragon gate.
“Of the seven, Ding Yi and Lu Junxiu are tentatively selected. There is still one person who needs to be tested! There are still four spots left, and I don’t have any suitable candidates. Even if Uncle Pei doesn’t say anything, I’ll ask you and His Highness to recommend two people each to help.”
The most taboo thing in officialdom is to eat alone! Such a person would not be able to stay in the officialdom for long.
Pei Cai did not say anything, but he had to give the Crown Prince a spot.
Otherwise, it would not make sense. After all, he had his mark on his body.
Hearing this.
The smile on Pei Caicai’s face was very bright, and his gaze became even gentler. It was easy to talk to smart people. He pretended to be silent for a while before saying, “Since you said so, Uncle Pei has to help. I’ll send two people over to listen to your instructions later!”
“Thank you, Uncle Pei!” Zhang Ronghua smiled.”
Pointing at the teacup, Pei Cai said, “Drink some tea. It won’t taste good if it’s cold.”
“Yes.”
Zhang Ronghua nodded and took a sip of tea. He put down the teacup and said, “Uncle Pei, I need your help.”
“Pass the message to His Highness?”
“Nothing can be hidden from Uncle Pei! With my current status, it is not convenient for me to see His Highness in the palace. Uncle Pei, please pass on the message and ask His Highness to send two people over. I will pay a visit to the Eastern Palace later.”
“Good! Uncle Pei will go see His Highness later.”
They chatted for a while.
Zhang Ronghua stood up and left the palace, closing the door.
Pei Caihua stroked his beard and praised,” Teacher has good taste. You picked a good grandson-in-law. His character, ability, and political tactics are all top-notch!” It was just that her cultivation was a little low. If they quarreled in the future, she would not be able to control her husband!”
He shook his head.
He laughed again. With Zhang Ronghua’s ability, he would not have gotten into a fight, and he would not have been beaten up. Hong Ling would probably be pampered to the heavens, and she would be happy for them.
He stood up from his chair and walked towards the palace to see the Crown Prince and convey Zhang Ronghua’s words.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
The doors to Grand Secretary Cui’s office were tightly shut. Tao Xuezhi stood outside with a cold face and didn’t say a word. No one dared to get close to him. People who passed by saw the coldness in his eyes and quickly left.
In the main hall.
Grand Secretary Cui’s face was dark. He didn’t even need to squeeze his hand to make it bleed. His eyes were filled with anger, and he wanted to poke a hole in the sky. He clenched his fists tightly, making cracking sounds. This was a well-planned scheme. As long as they could take down Zhang Ronghua, Pei Caicai would be affected and his prestige would be destroyed. He would then help He Wenxuan to gain more power. He didn’t expect that Zhang Ronghua, a small character that he had neglected, would actually dare to promise to compile a new Legend of the Human Emperor within fifteen days. He even received a reward from the Emperor and even took out the True Dragon Token.
How was this revenge? It was clearly giving warmth, super warmth!
After being an official for so many years, this was the first time such a thing had happened. Even the way others looked at him had changed. It was teasing and mocking, as if they were mocking his incompetence and shooting himself in the foot.
It was easy to guess that out of the remaining seven spots, Pei Caicai and Zhang Ronghua, the old fox and little fox, would definitely arrange for their own people to enter and be gilded. When the new Legend of the Human Emperor was compiled, they would be promoted and rich, and walk to the peak of their lives.
As for Cheng Zhijie, his fate had already been decided. A sheep among wolves, and he still wanted to come out unscathed after entering? Unless Zhang Ronghua’s head was kicked by a donkey and he let bygones be bygones. But how was that possible? Both sides quarreled so fiercely above the Purple Extreme Hall. How could he let go of the person who finally caught him with great difficulty? If he wasn’t crippled, the sun would really rise from the west..
