Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 65

Among the four ministers in the Qinzheng Palace, the Right Prime Minister Xu Bi is the oldest and has passed the age of 70 this year. It is said that Xu asked the emperor to resign last year and wanted to return home. Zhao Fu was about to agree, but there was no suitable candidate in the court to replace Xu Bi. If he was easily moved, it would most likely affect the court structure. Zhao Fu kept him.

Mr. Xu had a kind personality and often went to the back room of the Qinzheng Hall to negotiate with fourth-rank officials.

All memorials sent to Shengjing by officials from various places had to be seen by Xu Bi before they could be handed over to the emperor. Adrian Tang, a secretary of the Central Secretariat, had just returned from Xu Bi's main hall when he saw two runners carrying a box of memorials following him into the room.

Adrian Tang looked up to the sky and sighed.

The whole morning was spent reading the memorial documents.
