Chapter 798: Fu Kun’s Loyalty

Translator: 549690339

A simple sentence was more terrifying than any weapon. Fu Kun was so scared that his soul almost disappeared. With his political wisdom, how could he not understand the meaning behind His Majesty’s words?

He was the former Grand Secretary Zhang’s subordinate. Several years ago, Grand Secretary Zhang had retired and had given him a helping hand, helping him to become the Minister of Works.

Without a backer, he was the backer.

He was still young, and with the help of the forces he had cultivated and Grand Secretary Zhang’s forces, he had become a force to be reckoned with. Thus, he was assigned to the Young and Strong Faction and became one of the leaders!

Who would have thought that after hiding for so many years, avoiding this question, all he wanted to do was to do something practical and find an opportunity to improve further, entering the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and standing at the peak of Grand Xia, becoming one of the few people with the greatest authority in the world.

Today, he was forced to make a choice. Although the Emperor had not extended an olive branch for many years, he understood that the six ministers were the most important. They could not ignore it and had been secretly looking for an opportunity.

Before he came, he had prepared for the worst. He did not expect things to develop more seriously than he had imagined.

The matter of the Flame Thunder Pearl could be big or small. If it was big or small, he would be demoted to a commoner. No one could find fault with it and would not dare to object! This was because the battle in Wangtian County had already tested its power.

It was small, lifted up heavily and put down gently. The fire was in the hands of His Majesty.

There were only two paths at the moment. The first was to rely on His Majesty and this matter would be safe. The second was to lose his official position and retire at home. Once he chose this path, those political enemies would not let him off! She would definitely think of ways to take revenge and not let him feel comfortable.

A man without power was worse than a dog.

He thought back to what Grand Secretary Zhang had told him a few days ago. In this position, whether he wanted to or not, he was already involved in the struggles of the higher-ups. Either he was so capable that he couldn’t move around the court without him, or he submitted to the Emperor. If he made a mistake, he would be crushed instantly.

He had once asked if there was a third option, and Grand Secretary Zhang had said that there was. Entering the Prophecy Pavilion would allow one to reach the peak of power. They could attack or defend, and no matter what happened, they would be able to deal with it calmly.

With Zhang Ronghua’s contributions, his qualifications had been filled up, and he had made preparations to enter the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. As long as he waited for that person to retire, he would be able to officially enter the

Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. He had never expected such a thing to happen!

He hated Sun Jin and MO Shouli to death. He wished he could cut Sun Jin into pieces and drag his family to the market to behead them all! No, Zhang Ronghua had already brought people to raid the house. Later, he would bring them to the market and behead them. Good kill! As a doctor of the manufacturing division, the latter actually couldn’t even keep an eye on his own subordinates and caused a huge loss. Damn it!

Hatred aside, he had to get through this first.

He felt bitter in his heart. He had prepared everything, but he had never expected to fall on the road to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. This was fate!

“I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, Your Majesty!” I promise that this will never happen again.”

Smart people didn’t need to talk too much.

The Xia Emperor’s expression softened slightly, but he was still angry. He was furious that the formula for the Flamespark Pearl had been leaked! However, the matter had already happened. As the Human Ruler, he could not just look at one aspect. He had to look at other aspects. He said in a deep voice,” I’ll be fined half a year’s salary. My merits and demerits will be offset!”

Fu Kun was bitter. This matter had passed, but the price was very high! They had lost the opportunity to attack the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and were even forced to pledge allegiance to the Emperor. They knew very well what was going on in the imperial court. The appearance of the three princes today explained everything. Even the old teacher, who did not care about the affairs of the world, had appeared. It was unwise to get involved at this time, but there was no good way. He bowed and thanked the Emperor.” Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“I’d rather kill a thousand wrongly than let a single one go!” the Xia Emperor said. “I understand!”

“Help Xianyi up.”

Xianyi was Fu Kun’s surname.

Wei Shang came down from the imperial platform and helped him up from the ground.

After getting up.

“I’ll take my leave!” Fu Kun said.

Emperor Xia nodded and left the royal study. Fu Kun’s expression immediately darkened. His eyes flickered with a cold light, hiding monstrous anger as he walked coldly towards the Ministry of Works.

In the royal study.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty! Another virtuous minister.”

The Xia Emperor’s expression softened a little, but he remained cold. If I had a choice, I would rather not do this. I want to ensure that the Flamespark Pearl is safe.”

He asked again.

“Have you found out about Sun Jin’s butler, Old Lu?”

“It’s strange!” Wei Shang was puzzled. This person seemed to have disappeared into thin air. This old servant immediately ordered people to investigate. It seems that from the moment he left the Sun residence, all traces were erased.” “Someone attacked? Or is he hiding somewhere?”

“The people below have already searched with all their might. There are also people arranged at the city gate. If he dares to leave, he won’t be able to hide from us! This old servant suspects that the spies of the Shang Dynasty have made their move.’

“Let’s see if we can use this as bait to find the people of the Shang Dynasty!” “Yes, sir!” Wei Shang replied respectfully.

Such a good thing like the extermination of an entire family, of course, had to be done by one of their own.

After leaving the royal study and arriving at the Imperial Censorate, Pang Youshan and Sun Jin had already been taken away by the Human Emperor Guards and imprisoned in Nether Prison.

Everyone in the four divisions was in a state of panic. Although they didn’t know all the news, they had heard a little. Even if they hadn’t heard of it, the Emperor’s Guards had been mobilized. They were the Emperor’s personal guards, the most powerful department in the Grand Xia Dynasty. They surpassed the four divisions. Their words and actions represented everything. It was obvious that this matter had broken through the heavens.

Everyone was worried that they would be the next unlucky one, especially those who were close to Pang Youshan. They were afraid that Zhang Ronghua’s knife would slash at them in the next second.

In the office hall.

Zhang Ronghua sat on the main seat. He was not in a hurry to make a move.

Before he raided the house, he wanted to use this opportunity to clean up the Fourth Division. He wanted to make the first fire the most prosperous and maximize the benefits. He asked in a deep voice,” Was Zhao Guangfeng involved in the interrogation just now?”

This person was Pang Youshan’s trusted aide. When they went to the side hall to meet Yang Yi, the first person they reported to him must be eliminated.

Han Zhenggang understood. He was also a ruthless person. He had been in the Imperial Censorate for so many years and had political enemies. Since the Lord had said so, he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the Fourth Division and take control of the department. Would it cause dissatisfaction among others? If it was so big and involved the Flamespark Pearl, who would dare to say no?

As long as he dared to stand out, he would be branded with a big hat. No matter who he was, even if it was Du Chengming, he would be arrested and interrogated first. He would be considered innocent and locked up for a few years. After a few years, he would be released. There would be no place for him in the Imperial Censorate. He would just stay at home!

“Not just him, there are others..”
