If he were to be transferred over, what if he made some achievements like he did in the Ministry of Works? Wouldn’t he be able to rise to the top in a single step the next time he was promoted?
Pei Caihua’s faction stepped out and echoed.
They had already marked themselves with the name ” Pei ” and were his men. If Pei Caicai did not step forward, he could still pretend to be dead and make it clear that he wanted to fight against the three chancellors to ensure that Zhang Ronghua would be promoted and have more power. If he retreated now, outsiders would look down on him and think that he could not take on the heavy responsibility and was two-faced. Even if he changed his allegiance and joined others, he would only be a chess piece and would not be able to enter the core. Moreover, he would suffer revenge later.
Ding Yi followed closely behind and stood out from the Ministry of Works. His deep and loud voice rang out.
The horn of battle had been blown. The enemy was the three dukes. There was no hope of victory in the battle. Instead, they would be suppressed. They pretended to be deaf and dumb. Nothing happened. They just broke off with Zhang Ronghua.
One had to make a choice at every moment in life, and it was the same now.
The second person was Xu Xing. He owed Zhang Ronghua a lot, whether it was Princess Ming Yue or being transferred to Shangjing as a pushing official. To be honest, he was not confident in facing the three dukes. Even if he had the title of Baiyun Commandery Prince, he might not be able to protect himself, so he still stood up without hesitation.
Chen Youcai was far-sighted. Although he was the Crown Prince’s subordinate, His Highness might not be able to protect him if something really happened. In the previous gathering, they had already reached an alliance of interests and formed a small circle. No matter what the situation was, they would advance and retreat together.
Although the Crown Prince was on the Imperial Platform without his permission, he might offend the Crown Prince if he stood out at this time. He still stood out firmly and supported Pei Caicai’s suggestion.
Although Lu Junxiu, Jin Yaoguang, Huang Zhongshi, Qin Shouyi, Tang Bo, and the others were small fries, they had the strength of numbers. It was good to increase their momentum. They knew that they were trying to hit a stone with an egg, but they were all Zhang Ronghua’s men and had been personally nurtured.
Daren was promoted, followed by meat, Daren was transferred outside, sitting on the spot, one glory, one loss, one loss. Knowing that there was no hope, he gritted his teeth and stepped out.
There was only Wu Jinxiu left, a confidant of the Crown Prince. Now that His Highness had not spoken, he did not know whether he should step forward or not. He did not make things difficult for him for too long. The Crown Prince quietly gave a look, feeling aggrieved. It was fine if the Grand Preceptor and the Grand Protector stood up, but the Grand Preceptor actually opposed it and wanted to stop his own people from being promoted. With his intelligence, how could he not have guessed that there was definitely the shadow of his mother behind him? If they were to fight now, the relationship between the two sides would deteriorate further, and the conflict would deepen. The next time they fought, it would only be more intense.
But he was unwilling to accept this!
As the heir to the throne, he was like a puppet, waiting to be manipulated. He wanted to take power and lead Great Xia to the peak. He wanted to strengthen it further and complete the feat that his father had not completed. He wanted to destroy the Shang Dynasty, suppress the True Spirit races, beasts, demons, and ghosts. He wanted to plant the Black Dragon War Banner in every corner of the continent. It truly fulfilled the saying that the world was the land of the king, and the land was the land of the monarch and his subjects.
He had thought about the price of failure, but he had to protect Zhang Ronghua. He could not retreat.
After receiving the order, Wu Jinxiu stepped forward and agreed loudly! His men also stepped forward and agreed with him.
At the beginning of the game, there were many interests involved, which were divided into personal interests and department interests.
Xu Shidao followed closely behind, so what if it was the three dukes? In this position, everyone had their own ruling philosophy and was not a puppet. They were willing to sacrifice their lives for their beliefs, so why would they be afraid of revenge?
As long as it was beneficial to the Great Xia military and the people, he would do it without even frowning.
Even if they were to make a move, they would have to ask if His Majesty would agree or not. A figurehead? If he wasn’t even afraid of death, why would he care about this?
“On behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers of Great Xia, I sincerely request that Your Majesty transfer Doctor Zhang to the Ministry of War!”
Not everyone was like him, willing to give up everything for the sake of governing the country.
The military benefited the most from what Zhang Ronghua had done.
However, at this moment, the big shots of the military were unusually silent. They closed their eyes with a conscience. Their conscience had been eaten by dogs and they did not see anything.
An unexpected person stood up at this time. Although he was a civil servant, he represented the military. Huo Jingxiu stepped forward and bowed.” I agree!”
Even though his official position was not high, he was the eldest son of the second branch. At this critical juncture, since he had stepped forward, every word he said represented Marquis Wushuang’s Huo family! It was impossible not to consider the stakes behind it.
The royal court fell silent once more. They were waiting to see if anyone would step forward.
In principle, Fu Kun also wanted to step forward and support Zhang Ronghua’s transfer to the Ministry of War. He wanted to use his ability to benefit the soldiers at the bottom, protect the country, guard the border, and protect the lights behind him.
But he couldn’t!
Once he supported it, it would be impossible for him to enter the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets again! It could be said that he had been the Minister of Works until he retired.
He sighed helplessly, his heart heavy.
To everyone’s surprise, Grand Secretary Cui stepped forward. As one of the five elders of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, he was second only to the three chancellors. His every word and action was watched by countless people.
He was very puzzled! He and Zhang Ronghua weren’t mortal enemies? They had fought so fiercely before, so why did they stand out now? Could it be that they had secretly reached some kind of agreement?
Ignoring the strange looks from the officials, Grand Secretary Cui said calmly,” Minister Pei is right. Doctor Zhang is talented and capable. He should be promoted to a more important position so that more people can benefit..”
