He Wenxuan was also furious, even more so than Grand Secretary Cui. He had suffered a lot at Zhang Ronghua's hands because of his fight with Evergreen Academy, and now he had been slapped in the face. If cursing behind his back could kill, he would not hesitate to curse Zhang Ronghua to death even if he had to talk Donghai dry. He asked unwillingly,”Can you still stop this?”

Grand Elder Cui glared at him and said coldly,””This matter was brought up by us. Tell me, how can we stop it? If we jump out now, even if the other factions don't impeach us, His Majesty won't let us off easily!”

He Wenxuan knew that this was a way to praise the Emperor's great achievements. This way, the Emperor's kindness would be deeply engraved in the hearts of the people of Great Xia. No matter where they were, no matter how far away they were from the capital, they knew that with Emperor Xia in the capital, Great Xia would be at peace. Grand Shang would not dare to invade them, and they would be able to eat their fill and wear new clothes. However, he still felt lucky, which was why he asked this question.

Grand Elder Cui took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said solemnly,””There's no way to stop this, and there's no way to stop it! Otherwise, it would not be just one person who would die. The three clans would be wiped out!”

“Don't worry, I'm not that muddle-headed!”

Emperor Xia was watching. Whoever dared to interfere and stop Zhang Ronghua from editing the new biography of the Human Emperor would be dealt with and their three clans would be killed!

Back then, when he was editing the Legend of the Human Emperor, many people had died, and even their heads could be used to build the capital.

It's up to fate now,” Grand Elder Cui said.” Outsiders can't stop him. If he fails and can't finish it in time, that will be our chance.”

“I understand! But I can't take this lying down.”

By now, Grand Elder Cui's anger had subsided. Even if it hadn't, he had endured it and glared at him.”lf this is all you have, I advise you to resign as soon as possible!”

He Wenxuan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly apologized, “I know I was wrong!”

“Do you think this is child's play? Political affairs were not about showing off one's courage. One or two defeats did not mean anything! They had to learn how to endure and swallow their defeat. They had to be thick-skinned and wait for an opportunity. When the opportunity came, they would attack heavily and kill the other party, not giving them any chance to turn the tables.”

“I will remember it!”

Tao Xuezhi's voice rang out from outside the palace. “Cui Lao, Official

Supervisor Cheng requests an audience!”

Grand Secretary Cui reached out his hand and rubbed his head. This was within his expectations. He had entered the den of thieves, and his career was probably over. It would be strange if he wasn't in a hurry, but he couldn't just ignore them. Otherwise, what would the people below think? If you don't take any responsibility at the critical moment, who will work for you in the future?

He collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice with a straight face, “Come in! ”

The door was pushed open from the outside. Although Cheng Zhijie was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, there was no change in his expression. He had a deep self-control skill, and his steps were steady and sonorous. He entered and bowed respectfully.”Greetings, Cui Lao and Lord He!”

” Sit!” Grand Secretary Cui pointed at the chair opposite him.”

Cheng Zhijie's heart sank. He had thought that he would be lucky, but now he had fallen into the abyss. He knew Grand Secretary Cui very well. If something big happened and he was nice to him, he would have to pray for his own good!

However, he couldn't refuse. Otherwise, he would be unappreciative and his fate would be even worse. He sat on the chair with only one-third of his butt on it, ready to stand up at any time. He held his head high and puffed out his chest. His posture was very proper.

“I already know your purpose for coming!” Elder Cui Ge said. You should know the seriousness of this matter. His Majesty has already spoken and set the tone. Unless His Majesty takes back the imperial edict himself! Otherwise, it would be useless no matter who came. Of course, if you can convince the three dukes and ask them to step forward, perhaps there will be a turn for the better.”

“This humble official is unwilling!”

“This old man is also unwilling!”

The atmosphere was silent. What else could Cheng Zhijie do? He could only accept his fate!

Grand Elder Cui didn't push things too far. At his level, he had a lot to consider. Although Cheng Zhijie's career was coming to an end, he couldn't just leave it at that. “After this matter, you can be at ease and be a rich man. No one will find trouble with you! If they don't give in, I'll stop them.”

Cheng Zhijie knew that this was the best arrangement. If he didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't even get this kind of treatment. He stood up and thanked him, “”Thank you, Cui Lao!” “Report to the Scholar's Hall!”

He waited for him to leave.

Grand Secretary Cui seemed to have aged a lot. He looked at He Wenxuan and felt regret for the first time. Why did he choose He Wenxuan as his successor? It was too late to change it now.

He waved his hand and wanted to be quiet.”

“This official will take his leave!”

Scholar Hall.

The news of the matter of the 'loan', which had happened in the imperial court, spread back immediately. As a descendant of an aristocratic family, Ding Yi was good at keeping his temper. He did not show his anxiety on his face. He walked around the hall with his hands behind his back and his face expressionless. He would look outside from time to time. He thought to himself,' Why hasn't my brother come back yet?'

Lu Junxiu stood at the side. He was also anxious and wanted to know what was going on, but he did not dare to move around casually. He stood at the door with his body hunched over and kept staring outside.

After a while.

After such a long time, his brother still hadn't returned.. Ding Yi stopped in his tracks and said with a serious expression,””Are you sure the information is correct?”
