He turned around.

“What’s the matter?” Pang Youshan pretended to be puzzled.

“Summon the people from the Fourth Division to report to me,” Zhang Ronghua said.

” The four Divisions are busy with official business. Everyone has something important to deal with. It’s not too late to report after they’re done.”

“In the court tomorrow, I can accuse them of looking down on their superiors, or punish them for ‘disrespectful’ crimes? Or could it be that Censor Pang doesn’t put me in his eyes and wants to make a one-man stand?”

Pang Youshan gave a fake smile. The people below were busy and devoted themselves to official business. Was it wrong? Since you insist on letting them report their work, just call them over.”

“I’ll wait!”

Pang Youshan left.

The door of the hall was open, but Zhang Ronghua didn’t close it. He pulled out a chair and sat down. He brewed a pot of tea and was in no hurry to drink it. He was thinking about something.

Who was Pang Youshan’s subordinate? If he understood this, he would know who was dealing with him! Then, he would counterattack.

He looked outside.

When the opportunity was given, it would depend on whether someone could seize it.

In an office hall.

Han Zhenggang paced around the palace with his hands behind his back. He and He Wenxuan were from the same hometown, and with this connection, he had always been able to get close to them. Even in the Imperial Censorate, no one had targeted him.

In the morning court.

Pei Caicai suggested that Zhang Ronghua be transferred to the Ministry of War. After Grand Secretary Cui left, he also stood up for He Wenxuan.

The main point was that there was enmity between the two sides!

Back at the Scholar Hall, He Wenxuan and Zhang Ronghua had been locked in a fierce battle. He had also made a move, but it ended in failure.

He had not expected the situation to change so quickly at the end of the court meeting. The old man had stepped forward to block the pressure of the three dukes. The Emperor had transferred him to the Imperial Censorate. Coincidentally, he was also his immediate superior. This was really frightening.

After the morning court session ended, he went to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to seek guidance.

Coincidentally, He Wenxuan was looking for Grand Secretary Cui to ask him why he was helping Zhang Ronghua. He told him to follow.

After arriving.

Before he could say anything, Grand Secretary Cui seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask, so he reminded him to do his job diligently. Don’t think about what he shouldn’t think, don’t play any tricks, and just do what Zhang Ronghua told you to do. As long as there were no mistakes, he wouldn’t be targeted. Only then did he feel relieved.

Ever since he came back, he was still worried!

Was she considering whether she should meet him?

He looked into the room and saw Zhang Ronghua’s palace. He gritted his teeth and made a decision. Since Grand Secretary Cui had said so, He Wenxuan wouldn’t blame him even if he knew.

Having made up his mind, he didn’t delay any longer. He left the palace and walked inside quickly.

After a while, he entered a courtyard. From afar, he saw Zhang Ronghua sitting on a chair and drinking tea. Han Zhenggang was nervous and his heart was in his throat. He didn’t know what his fate was going to be like next. But since he was already here, wouldn’t his efforts be in vain if he retreated now?

“Greetings, Your Excellency!” He walked in and bowed.

Zhang Ronghua was quite surprised. After waiting for so long, he didn’t expect to be the first person to come. He had a playful look on his face.” What’s the matter?”

Han Zhenggang’s attitude was very serious. It was his fault for not being capable enough. He was only a Rank-4 after working for half his life. His former political enemy had become the chief officer. He said respectfully,” Report!”

Zhang Ronghua had guessed it. He must have received some guidance from Grand Secretary Cui. Otherwise, He Wenxuan wouldn’t have been able to see through it so clearly.

As long as he didn’t make any mistakes, did his job seriously, and carried out his orders, he wouldn’t take the grudge to heart. He would return the favor that Grand Secretary Cui had done him today.

“How many years?” “Including this year, I have been in the Imperial Censorate for eight years.”

“How much do you know?” “Half. “Give me a detailed introduction.”

“Yes, sir!”

Han Zhenggang did not dare to hide the truth. As long as he was satisfied with the declaration of allegiance, his future would be easy. If he hid it and exposed it later, he would have to suffer. He would tell him everything he knew.

Just as Ding Yi had said, the waters of the Imperial Censorate ran very deep. On the surface, there were no external factions, at least in the middle and upper echelons. Or it could be said that there were several factions within the Imperial Censorate. There was a faction of the Imperial Censorate, a faction of the Left and Right Deputy Imperial Censorates, and even a faction of the Imperial Attendants.

Further down, the left and right imperial censors were the people of the princes, cabinet elders, and other ministers.

In conclusion, most of them had climbed up from the bottom.

After listening.

“Are there no other factions among the higher-ups?” Zhang Ronghua frowned.

“Maybe! This lowly official only knows this much.”

His eyes were sharp like an eagle as he sized him up. Seeing this, Han Zhenggang bowed slightly to show his humility, but his eyes were pure and he welcomed him calmly.

The thought flashed through his mind very quickly. It should be true. If he lied, there would be no point in meeting him.

“Who’s Pang Youshan working for?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.

“Bai Yichang’s men. He’s Du Chengming’s trusted aide.”

Bai Yichang was a third-grade Imperial Attendant, so he deduced that Pang Youshan was targeting him. He must have been instructed by Du Chengming to cause the scene just now.

He knew the reason.

“Sit,” he said, pointing at the chair opposite him.

Han Zhenggang was excited, but he felt relieved.

Zhang Ronghua poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

“Thank you, sir!”

His expression did not change, but his heart was very cold. It had been so long, and Pang Youshan still hadn’t ordered his subordinates to call for a different method of attack? It wasn’t in his nature to passively receive attacks..
