Chapter 1087: Dealing with Grand Elder Wei
Pei Haoran stood up and bowed solemnly before serving tea.
“Don’t let me down,” said Zhang Ronghua.
“Be a person, do things, and be a good official.”
He smiled gratefully and took a sip from the teacup before putting it down.
Pei Haoran retreated. The following conversation was not something he could listen to. He closed the door and stood guard outside. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Uncle Pei, are you ready?” Zhang Ronghua asked.
” I’m ready.” Pei Caihua’s eyes flashed with confidence.” I’m ready.”
” With our forces, if Grand Secretary Cui’s faction is the only one with the upper hand, I’m afraid they’ll join forces with other factions, or even the three chancellors!”
The empress and the others did not mention the prerequisite for entering the cabinet, which was to draw a clear line with the harem.
Pei Caicai said,” I’ve thought of that. Teacher sent someone to pass the message that he won’t interfere with the other three old men. Grand Secretary Cui and the others are preparing in secret, and I have a backup plan. Let’s see who’s better.”
His expression was solemn.
” The Imperial Censorate and Tai Xuan Temple are the most important. When the time comes, these two departments will take the lead in creating momentum and making trouble. You have to keep an eye on them.”
Zhang Ronghua said,” The Imperial Censorate is the foundation. There won’t be any mistakes. Tai Xuan Temple is much weaker. If you can get an important position, it will be easier for you to enter the cabinet.”
“There’s not enough time.”
After discussing for an hour, they finally changed the topic.
Pei Caicai said,” The imperial examinations are about to begin. From the news that His Majesty has leaked, it’s very likely that His Highness will preside over it. However, His Highness is busy with government affairs and most of the time, he only has a name. You are his right-hand man and your status is sufficient. It’s very likely that you will preside over this matter. Be mentally prepared.”
Zhang Ronghua knew that the imperial examinations were held after Emperor Xia’s birthday every year. This was an important matter. It was to help the Crown Prince train his disciples. Under normal circumstances, the high school candidates would be the disciples of the person who presided over the examinations. When they grew up, they would be able to help the Crown Prince solve his problems.
After a while.
After the official business was done, Pei Haoran came in. The three of them chatted casually. At noon, after lunch, Zhang Ronghua bade farewell and Pei Haoran sent him out of the residence.
He did not go to the government office. Instead, he sat on the Tianji Carriage and rushed to the ZhongTian camp. Ding Yi and Tie Changlin were keeping an eye on this side. He just had to carry out the plan according to the plan. This was related to the destruction of the Sorcerer Tribe. No matter how well prepared he was, he had to take a look before he could rest assured.
He saw the sky turn dark.
Zhang Ronghua left the military camp. Shen Qingzhi was very capable, so he did it orderly. The three small armies that he had selected were secretly protected after passing the Myriad Samsara Formation. They were strictly prohibited from contacting the outside world. They took the Acalanātha Pill to cultivate the Acalanātha Technique, and the results were amazing.

Qilin Lane.
Number 199, three in and three out.
The floor was paved with expensive purple bricks, each worth a hundred taels. The huge courtyard was covered with bricks, the beams and doors were made of hundred-year-old purple wood, and the artificial lake and garden were all top-notch. The layout was decent and luxurious.
The master’s surname was Zi, a rare surname. His ancestor was once the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs and had been prominent for a while. Time had changed, and the inheritance had been passed down until now. The Zi family seemed to have been possessed and died one after another. In this generation, there was only one woman, Zi Ningyan. Although it was not as prosperous as before, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. With the support of the family and extraordinary talent, she entered Changqing Academy and was guided by the Great Scholar. She comprehended Righteousness and broke through to the eighth tier of the Grandmaster Realm before joining the Green Heaven. When Qing An appeared, he snatched it away.
She had a good relationship with Xu Xirou. Although they weren’t sisters, they were more than sisters. She had entered War Heaven and was highly regarded by the latter.
In the study room.
The window was open, and Zi Ningyan was sitting on a chair. There was a tea set on the table, and there was also a cup of tea. The servant girl Lan Hehou was waiting on her by the side, looking at the night scene outside. The night wind blew and the moisture fell on her body, making her calm down and concentrate.
However, her heart was very ” hot ” and she could not calm down.
There was no turning back. Once they did this, it would be fine if they succeeded. If they failed, the last bit of the Zi family’s legacy would be cut off! But now, this was the only way to bring glory to the family.
Born as a woman, she hid the ambition of a man.
Xu Xirou was very smart. She had climbed to her current position from a Humble Class background and even became a Chosen of Changqing Academy. It was obvious that she was smart. She could not make any mistakes, or else she would not be able to hide it.
He drank tea to calm himself down until there were no flaws.
Footsteps sounded from outside.
Zi Ningyan knew that she was here. There was a knock on the door. The butler said,”Miss, Senior Sister Xu is here.”
“Come in.”
Not daring to be arrogant, he got up from his chair and walked out.
When he saw her enter, his smile was natural and warm. His thoughts were hidden very deeply. Just like before, he greeted her.” Senior Sister, you’re here!”
The butler closed the door and left.
Xu Xirou smiled.” You don’t have to give face to others, but you have to.”
“Thank you, Senior Sister!” Purple Ningyan.
He warmly invited Lan He to sit down and looked at him.
“Bring me my treasured spiritual tea, the Lone Heaven Red Leaf Tea, and use it to purify the water.”
“Yes, Miss!”
Lan He retreated.
” You sent a message to me,” Xu Xirou asked.” You said you got something good. What is it?”
Zi Ningyan blinked her eyes playfully and stuck out her tongue cutely like a mischievous little sister.” Senior Sister, guess!”
“Something that you value so much must be extraordinary.”
“As expected of Senior Sister. You’re indeed smart. Guess again.”
Xu Xirou’s brows furrowed together. Numinous treasures were excluded first. With the current status of the Zi family, they still couldn’t get them. Spiritual medicines and medicinal pills? He could also rule out that the ordinary ones were not qualified. The precious and heaven-defying ones had no way of doing so. After deduction, only cultivation techniques and martial techniques were left. He probed,” Cultivation techniques?”
