Cheng Zhijie was Grand Secretary Cui's man, one of the two people Pei Caihua had suggested.
"Your Majesty!" Pei Caihua said in a deep voice. This old official suggests that the directorate's Chief Secretary Cheng should be the main one, and the Scholar Hall's Chief Zhang should be the auxiliary one. Then, seven people should be transferred from the Scholar Hall to take charge of this matter!"
Grand Secretary Cui had used his most trusted subordinate to drag Zhang Ronghua down with him! Since he couldn't stop them, he would change the leader and let Grand Secretary Cui's people take the lead. That way, if anything went wrong in the future, Cheng Zhijie would be the scapegoat. As for the seven people from the Scholar Hall, it would be simple! There were so many scholars and people from other factions. They could just choose their enemies and throw them in.
