Another World: The Failed Magician

The old minister was still somewhat uneasy after hearing Zhao Quan's answer, but since Zhao Quan had already said so, he could not press further and had no choice but to retreat back into the remaining ranks of officials.

Zhao Quan didn't offer much explanation; he simply sat quietly in the seat beneath the dragon throne.

Before long, a group of young scholars entered the main hall. They were full of vigor and held their heads high. Their youthful energy instantly filled the once quiet hall.

The old official instantly understood the meaning of Zhao Quan's words when he saw the young people pouring into the hall.

Looking at these young scholars, the old officials seemed to see their younger selves reflected in them. Their eyes were filled with hope, and they longed to make their mark on this cruel stage.

The official sighed softly. Hadn't he been the same way when he was young? Perhaps they really could change something!

Zhao Quan announced to the officials present that this group of young scholars would take over the positions previously held by the left-wing and Tai Xuan faction officials.

The rest of the time was spent assigning tasks and responsibilities to these young people.

After all this was over, the morning court session was almost over as well.

Right Chancellor Li Qu approached Zhao Quan immediately after the morning court session ended.

Li Qu was furious when he saw Zhao Quan sitting calmly in the main hall. He said in an angry tone, "Do you know what you're doing? This is not what we originally agreed on. Haven't you thought about the consequences of what you've done today?"

Zhao Quan calmly replied, "The conditions I promised will not change. Those young officials will be led by you rightists. You can recruit as many as you can."

Hearing this, Li Qu calmed down and said, "Fine! But I'm telling you this in advance, I won't interfere with the Left Faction and Tai Xuan Faction's retaliation against you. If things go wrong, I'll immediately sever all ties with you."

Zhao Quan waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away flies, and said, "I never expected anything from you. Get lost, don't disturb my lunch."

After giving Zhao Quan a deep look, the former Right Chancellor, who had once held a high position, said nothing more and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

After Li Qu left, an old man dressed as a eunuch appeared behind Zhao Quan.

Upon seeing the man, Zhao Quan asked, "How are things going with the Left Chancellor and the Imperial Preceptor?"

The old man dressed as a eunuch replied, "Someone leaked the news. The two of them fled the capital overnight last night. The Imperial Guards I sent out to investigate them have also disappeared without a trace. It seems they are in grave danger."

Zhao Quan was not surprised at all after hearing these words. If the Left Prime Minister and the Grand Preceptor were so easy to eliminate, they would not have risen to such high positions.

Zhao Quan continued, "What was the reaction of the eight major sects?"

"The eight major sects, led by the Tai Xuan Sect, are spreading rumors about you in the martial arts world, saying that you are causing chaos in the country and that they are probably building momentum for a rebellion. I have already sent people to keep an eye on them, but we don't know what their specific plans are yet."

Zhao Quan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhao."

The old man waved his hand: "Of course, Your Highness. This old minister also wants to see the grand scene that Your Highness speaks of in my lifetime."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Quan smiled genuinely and replied, "It will happen!"
