"How dare we? If we ask you in person even though your residence is there, wouldn't it show that our attendant bureau is not doing its job well? If we can't even find the residence of an adult, how can we still do the job of delivering the emperor's orders?"

The old eunuch had a resentful look on his face. Behind him followed two young eunuchs holding trays containing official uniforms, official badges and official seals.

Zhang Mingxuan bowed and smiled apologetically, "I am sorry to have caused trouble to you, eunuch." Then he led the eunuch into the main courtyard.

Are you going to give yourself a promotion?

"Okay, Master Zhang, please accept my order."

The old eunuch regained his serious expression, and Zhang Mingxuan, Xun'er and Yubin behind him knelt down to receive the order.

The core meaning of the imperial edict is only one.

Starting tomorrow, Zhang Mingxuan will be transferred to the Ministry of War. His official position will remain the same, but he will be changed from a doctor in charge of the Ministry of Rites to a doctor in charge of the Ministry of War.

After the eunuchs left, Zhang Mingxuan continued to eat.

The yard was newly built. Except for the south room and the main room which had a few beds, tables and chairs, the other rooms were empty, only paved with blue bricks.

So this yard is easy to maintain.

He attended court during the day and returned to his room at night to study the palace lantern formation. He did not communicate much with the two white maids on weekdays.

These two maids were very cautious in what they said and did in the courtyard, which made Zhang Mingxuan a little uncomfortable.

"Xun'er, you don't have to wait outside while I eat."

He spoke to Xun'er who was outside the door.

I just don’t know why I was suddenly transferred to the Ministry of War.

It is rumored that the Ministry of War is full of people from the Prince's party. So no matter from which perspective, it is impossible for me to be transferred to the Ministry of War. For the same official position, the Ministry of War is higher than the Ministry of Rites.

Among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Revenue is clean and has no prince's party.

Since I have to go to the Ministry of War to attend court tomorrow, it is better to go to court tomorrow to find out the truth instead of letting my imagination run wild.

The next morning.

Wuying Palace.

Wuying Hall is where officials from the Ministry of War work and hold meetings.

Zhang Mingxuan checked in and entered the hall.

The interior layout of Wuying Hall and Lihe Hall is somewhat different. Lihe Hall is mostly filled with files and documents, while Wuying Hall has a huge map hanging in the main hall. The map shows many cities, mountains, rivers, troop stationing locations, etc. at the intersection of Taicang Empire and Tianze Empire.

There were not as many books and files on the desks of officials in the Wuying Palace as those in the Ministry of Rites.

"Hey~ Isn't this Mr. Zhang?"

A sound like the mooing of a cow sounded in my ears, and a glowing man with a pale face walked in from outside the house. He was wearing a black robe and was playing with a purple crystal bar in his hand.

"you are?"

Zhang Mingxuan asked doubtfully.

In the six halls of the six ministries, no one dares to go to work without wearing official uniform.

"He is the current imperial teacher, Ye Buwen." A woman's voice was heard outside the hall.

A big man in a green robe, stroking his full beard, walked into the Wuying Hall and spoke in a voice like a woman, "I am Bu Dazhen, and we are both the imperial masters of the current dynasty."

"Your subordinate is polite!"

Zhang Mingxuan bowed politely to the two of them.

It turns out that these are the formation masters and rune masters of the Taicang Empire.

This was the first time he had dealt with these two people.

Ye Buwen passed by Zhang Mingxuan, glanced at him with disdain, and said in a rough voice, "Sir Zhang, you can't work in our Ministry of War like you did in the Ministry of Rites, tut tut."

"What are you talking about? I heard that Wang Mingde often exaggerates your great talent. How could such a talented person be so cunning and dishonest? Tsk tsk." Bu Dazhen spoke in a soft voice and walked slowly towards Zhang Mingxuan.

"Brother Bu, do you know that Lord Zhang is the only one who refused to accept the prince's gift, and later made the prince go to great lengths to transfer him to our Ministry of War." Ye Buwen said sarcastically.

"Oh? Really? That's a strange story! Haha!" Bu Dazhen glanced at Zhang Mingxuan and said jokingly, "Master Zhang, I wonder what merits you have in making the crown prince beg His Majesty three times to transfer you to the Ministry of War?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two of them burst into laughter.

Are these two people the national masters? Aren't they street urchins?

Are these two people crazy?

Wait, what does it mean that the prince transferred me to the Ministry of War?

Zhang Mingxuan looked indifferent, but doubts arose in his heart.

I originally wanted to talk to them, but I didn't expect them to change the subject so quickly.

He turned around, found a table and sat down, then picked up a book to read.
