Adrian Tang stood in the middle of the room. Looking forward, he saw Ethan Wang, who looked calm. Looking back, he saw Meng Lang, the Minister of Rites, who looked like he was enjoying the show. He was immediately overwhelmed.
This Lord Meng, the Minister of Rites, is not a good person.
When Adrian Tang took the imperial examination, it was this Lord Meng who was the chief examiner. Although the chief examiner of the Jinshi candidates was nominally the emperor, if one had to say it, Meng Lang could be considered Adrian Tang's "mentor". But Lord Meng always liked to tease him. The first time Adrian Tang came to the Qinzheng Palace, he was still a recorder at the time, and was teased by Minister Meng, who forcibly dragged him through the six ministries to parade him in public!
Lord Tang, a minor official of the fourth rank, cannot afford to offend the other party, but that does not mean Ethan Wang cannot afford to offend him.
Ethan Wang put down the teacup, and the celadon cup landed on the sandalwood table, making a crisp sound. Ethan Wang looked at Adrian Tang and said, "The Secretary of the Central Secretariat has nothing to do with the Ministry of Revenue, but the Secretary of the Central Secretariat looks after the world on behalf of the emperor. Now that Lord Tang is looking for me, it must be because I have committed a crime and have not sacrificed my life for the country and worked hard."
