Do You Know?: I, the Little Cabinet Elder, Regent of the World

One by one, the high-ranking officials in purple robes walked straight to the front, and Jiang Zhao instinctively looked for someone.

This was a habit that Han Zhang taught him to cultivate.

Look for those who have always been there but suddenly disappeared, and look for those who have never been there but suddenly appeared.

Grand Secretary Liu Hang has disappeared!

Could it be?

At the forefront of the civil and military officials, led by Grand Chancellor Fu Bi, were the five Grand Secretaries, the six ministers, the five directors, the nine ministers, and the remonstrating officials—all undoubtedly powerful figures in purple robes—arranged in an orderly fashion.

"when!"

Another bell rang.

The sixth quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM)!

Jiang Zhao looked at the Grand Chancellor Fu Bi with some surprise.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he sensed a hint of panic in Grand Chancellor Fu Bi, as if something had gone wrong.

On the contrary, Han Zhang, the teacher who was a little off, was now more steady and seemed to have calmed down a lot.

A congratulatory message?

A suspicion flashed through my mind.

Sending Liu Hang to retrieve the congratulatory letter is one of the solutions that our teacher, Han Zhang, once suggested.

A while later, around 6:30 a.m., a shout rang out.

"coming!"

"coming!"

An elderly man in his sixties came running up from behind, and Grand Chancellor Fu Bi and Minister Han turned around almost immediately upon hearing the sound.

Even the other high-ranking officials in purple robes turned around one by one.

Excuse!

It was indeed Liu Hang who was sent to retrieve the congratulatory message!

Jiang Zhao looked back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and frowned.

The solution has been broken!

"Where is the congratulatory message?"

Fu Bi took two steps down, his expression changing slightly.

Liu Hang had no congratulatory letter in his hand!

“A congratulatory message? I haven’t seen Huang Jing.” Liu Hang said breathlessly, “Huang Jing’s elderly mother said that Huang Jing had rushed to the Han residence, so I rushed back to report the news.”

"Huang Jing might be at the Han residence right now!"

"Why did Huang Jing send the congratulatory letter to the Han residence?" Fu Bi questioned. "And why didn't you go directly to the Han residence?"

"I am over sixty years old and my strength is truly failing!" Liu Hang said with a wronged expression.

Han Zhang's expression changed drastically, and his heart sank.

Theoretically speaking, if Liu Hang's final urging fails to deliver the congratulatory message on time, he would bear at least part of the responsibility.

Just because it was the last time he went!

The end result was that one person was punished with a cane.

However, the problem now is that Liu Hang returned before the congratulatory letter was even submitted, and brought the letter's exact destination, but was forced to return due to exhaustion.

The congratulatory message will not be formally presented until 15 and a half hours later.

The timing was perfect.

If the time is too short, there simply won't be enough time to send someone to collect the congratulatory message, so there's no need to send one.

At that time, Liu Hang would be the last person to go to He Biao, and he would have to take responsibility.

He and Liu Hang were, respectively, Huang Jing's superior and the person who ultimately went to collect Huang Jing's congratulatory letter.

One board per person!

If the timeframe is too long and too lenient, it makes it easy for people to receive congratulatory messages.

A quarter of an hour is neither too long nor too short.

Time is of the essence, but if someone is sent to Zhao immediately, there is indeed a chance to retrieve the congratulatory message.

If there is any hesitation in making a decision, then Han Zhang's decision will delay the retrieval of the congratulatory message.

Han Zhang will once again bear responsibility, and it will be a major responsibility that he cannot shirk.

Originally, Han Zhang's premise for shirking responsibility was that Huang Jing either did not write a congratulatory letter or did not write it in a timely manner.

In other words, this matter is Huang Jing's problem.

However, the news brought back by Liu Hang confirmed that Huang Jing had indeed written a congratulatory letter, and that there was barely enough time to receive it.

In this way, even if the congratulatory messages are incomplete, the blame will still be placed on the delayed collection, but the significance will be completely different!

The entity that caused the problem became Han Zhang.

The guilt can no longer be denied!

Han Zhang's face darkened.

At this point, should he send someone to collect the congratulatory message?

Once someone is sent to collect the congratulatory letter, Liu Hang will no longer be the last person to go and collect it, thus completely absolving himself of any potential responsibility.

Liu Hang was no longer the last person to go and collect congratulatory messages!

But if someone is sent and doesn't return on time, then as the Minister of Rites, he would have to take full responsibility for the blame.

Huang Jing submitted his work slightly late, but there were no problems.

It's simply that he didn't collect it in time!

So, should we send someone to look for it?

In less than a breath, Han Zhang made his decision.

We absolutely must send them!

If we don't send someone, Liu Hang's men can seize this opportunity to impeach him!

This is a matter of attitude.

Since Liu Hang brought the message, it means that Huang Jing deliberately timed it, and he must have arrived at the Han residence by now.

After all, if someone is sent and the information is flawed, Liu Hang will ultimately bear some responsibility.

Huang Jing is indeed at the Han residence!

Han Zhang's heart sank, and he strode to the back.

He came to stand in front of Jiang Zhao.

"Zhao'er, Huang Jing, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, deliberately delayed presenting the congratulatory memorial, but it has already been delivered to the Han residence."

"You have a quarter of an hour; hurry and find it!"

A quarter of an hour is neither a long nor a short time.

With the speed of a young man like Jiang Zhao, he could run back and forth between the Chuigong Hall and the Imperial Street in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Time may be tight, but it's still ample.

Huang Jing's congratulatory message was a matter of great importance. Han Zhang was afraid that something unexpected might go wrong with such an important task, so he had no choice but to seek help from his disciple.

"Keep track of the time," Han Zhang whispered. "The Han residence also has a water clock to measure time. If you feel that time is really tight, then just go around Huang Jing."

"At that time, just say that Huang Jing deliberately avoided you and shirked responsibility," Han Zhang instructed.

As the last person to go find He Biao, I certainly bear some responsibility.

However, Jiang Zhao's departure time was very clear; it was only a quarter and a half minutes.

Compared to Liu Hang, the two of them went at different times.

If there really isn't enough time, then don't even touch the congratulatory tablet, and don't even see Huang Jing.

In this way, the small portion of the blame that Jiang Zhao might have had, as the last person to go to He Biao, could be shifted onto Huang Jing.

Just say that Huang Jing is deliberately avoiding him!

With the assistance of both the Korean faction and the Imperial Censorate, if Huang Jing were to be executed, and Jiang Zhao were merely a minor figure, the responsibility on his shoulders would be negligible.

At the same time, Han Zhang could also use this as an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Huang Jing is fine, so let's find him a problem!

Since Liu Hang confirmed that Huang Jing had written the congratulatory letter, the blame for the delayed collection had shifted to Han Zhang. However, this did not prevent him from counter-attacking and arguing that it was Huang Jing's fault.

After all, Huang Jing's constant avoidance of people is his problem, isn't it?

Of course, in the end, they will have to bear some responsibility.

But relatively speaking, it's much better than taking full responsibility.

At least, there is still room for improvement.

The best outcome, of course, would be for the disciple to successfully bring back the congratulatory message!

Han Zhang's decision was very clear.

Or make sure you can get the congratulatory message back.

Or they wouldn't even touch the congratulatory watch.

The worst thing is receiving a congratulatory message but not being able to retrieve it on time; that would be the most disastrous outcome.

If that's the case, there's no way to defend oneself, and one would have to take the blame completely.

"Yes." Jiang Zhao had a vague idea of ​​what was going on and understood his teacher's meaning. He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran towards the Imperial Street.

The Imperial Street and the Chuigong Hall are quite a distance apart.

A quarter and a half minutes!

It felt like a dream come true, like running the 3000 meters again!

Han Zhang walked back to the front row and glanced at Liu Hang with a calm expression.

The two looked at each other with mutual dislike and neither spoke.

After a long pause, Liu Hang sighed, "This Huang Jing is a rebellious and disobedient person who has repeatedly submitted memorials advising on the establishment of an heir. He is truly out of touch with reality!"

"I wonder if this time, things will take a turn for the better?"

One sentence, profound in meaning, caused a great stir!

……

Chapter 42 Under the Spotlight! (5k)

"This Huang Jing is a rebellious and disobedient person who has repeatedly submitted memorials advising against the establishment of an heir. He is truly out of touch with reality!"

"I wonder if this time, things will take a turn for the better?"

One sentence, profound in meaning, caused a great stir!

The expressions of the several elders changed simultaneously, and they all looked over.

There's something wrong with the congratulatory message!

The senior officials almost immediately guessed Liu Hang's original plan.

Actually, there has always been a problem with the congratulatory message!

Huang Jing's congratulatory letter was not delayed at all.

Liu Hang's real scheme was to make Huang Jing delay submitting the congratulatory memorial before the deadline.

In this way, there was simply no time to check the congratulatory message again for any problems.
