...

The eyes of the Minister of Civil Affairs gradually became gloomy. He looked at Zhao Wujiang on the side, and murderous intent gradually arose in his heart.

But now that the emperor's decree has been issued, he knows that it is impossible for him to win the position of chief officer.

If Zhang Tuizhi cares so much, there is a high probability that Chen Anbang's mansion may contain evidence that is enough to destroy him. Now I can't compete for the position of the chief official of the house seizure, but I can get what I want through Zhao Wujiang... Official

The Minister's mind was surging. He suppressed the murderous intention in his heart towards Zhao Wujiang, clasped his fist towards Zhao Wujiang and said:

"My official words have offended many people. I hope Mr. Zhao will not bear them in mind."

All the officials around him were stunned when they heard this. When did the Minister of Civil Affairs become so easy to talk to?

Zhao Wujiang rubbed his fingers and said with a smile:

"I also hope that Lin Shangshu will not forget it. Just now I was impulsive and said some things that I didn't mean..."

Many officials reacted and spoke out to smooth things over.

"The two adults' tolerance and humility are worthy of our learning..."

"This thief, Chen Anbang, has committed extremely heinous crimes. The two adults just spoke out so openly because they wanted to punish this thief as soon as possible and ransack his house to show the public that they were righteous."

"It makes sense..."

"To seek the benefit of the country and drive out evil spirits, our hearts are hot and eager. Although our words may conflict, our hearts are good!"

"..."

Zhao Wujiang took over the imperial edict from the eunuch in front of the palace, and the originally shocked comments around him gradually turned into compliments and flattery.

"Zhao is extremely popular and has a strong sense of integrity. It is perfect to serve as the chief officer!"

"That's natural. If the emperor can choose Mr. Zhao, it must be because Mr. Zhao is outstanding..."

"Searching Chen Anbang's residence is also a way to eliminate evil spirits. Mr. Zhao has contributed a lot to it. He will surely prosper in the future."

"..."

The ministers were talking a lot, and the eunuch in front of the palace waved his whip again, passing the order of the empress to disperse the morning court.

After receiving the order, many officials rushed out of the palace, and many came to congratulate Zhao Wujiang, hoping to become familiar with him in front of him.

Zhang Tuizhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also came over and wanted to have a detailed discussion with Zhao Wujiang. In his opinion, there was nothing in this world that could not be traded. He would definitely be able to give Zhao Wujiang the conditions that Zhao Wujiang was interested in, and come to exchange for Zhao Wujiang's residence.

The secret of existence.

Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, transformed into a smiling tiger and kept chatting with Zhao Wujiang without giving Zhang Tui any chance.

Just like that, Zhao Wujiang walked out of the hall surrounded by a group of people.

The palace road is long, with several people walking and stopping.

Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, promised Zhao Wujiang that if any evidence of other officials' violations of the law was found in the Minister of War's mansion, they could be exchanged with him, Lin Ruhai.

He, Lin Ruhai, could make Zhao Wujiang climb several steps up the ranks of the sixth-rank secretary-general and sit in the position of a high official in the court.

At the same time, he also deliberately warned Zhao Wujiang that with Zhao Wujiang's current status, many secrets would not be tolerated, but he, Lin Ruhai, was not afraid. He, Lin Ruhai, could digest these secrets and give Zhao Wujiang safe, gentle and stable benefits.

Lin Ruhai's win-win statement definitely moved Zhao Wujiang. Although he knew that Lin Ruhai was not a good official, there was no problem with Lin Ruhai's warning.

Even if Zhao Wujiang discovers some great secret, he can't reveal it by himself for the time being. Doing so will directly expose him to the light of day and become a thorn in the side of the forces behind the undercurrents in the DPRK. And he can accomplish some things through Lin Ruhai.

Things that are inconvenient to accomplish.

Lin Ruhai, like Liu Zhe, was a veteran of three dynasties. More importantly, Lin Ruhai was like a big tree among hundreds of officials. It was involved in the promotion and transfer of officials. The root system in the court extended all the way down and was extremely intricate, dense and strong.

In today's Daxia court, it is no exaggeration to say that Lin Ruhai is one of the few beings like Liu Zhe and Dugu Yihe who can single-handedly fight against many surging undercurrents.
