Ning Tianlu laughed, framed the memorial, then turned and left the main hall.

"Master Ning! Let's go too!" Chen Zhong and Ji Chun volunteered to go together.

Ning Tianlu flatly refused: "No! The three of us are representatives of the Hanlin Academy. If we go to the cabinet at the same time, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion!"

Chen Zhong and Ji Chun thought about it and felt that this was also the case, so they watched Ning Tianlu leave the Hanlin Academy.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy, Ning Tianlu was in a good mood and his steps became much brisker. He would smile and say hello to people he met along the way.

"Eh? Isn't that Ning Tianlu? Wasn't he appointed as governor to the five empires? It hasn't been long, why is he back?"

On the way to the cabinet, a gray-haired old man in official uniform noticed Ning Tianlu. He was confused and grabbed a person passing by and asked.

"It turns out to be Mr. Yunzhe! I don't know much about this matter. I just saw Mr. Ning come back!"

The official who was held back had an unpleasant look on his face at first, but when he saw the gray-haired old man, the displeasure on his face disappeared and he bowed his hands respectfully.

This gray-haired old man's status is unusual. He is Yunzhe, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is a third-rank official and can be regarded as a high position in the government and the public.

Yunzhe frowned slightly, looked at Ning Tianlu's back, thought for a moment, and revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

The official nearby saw the smile on Yunzhe's lips and couldn't help but shudder. He knew that the six ministries and the cabinet were sworn enemies, and that the government and the public were divided into two factions to fight against each other.

The Hanlin Academy is the back garden of the cabinet, and most of the cabinet's bachelors are selected from the Hanlin Academy. Therefore, the officials of the six ministries are full of malice towards the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.

Now Ning Tianlu dares to abandon his duties as governor and come back directly. This is a serious crime.

"This Ning Tianlu has been a genius in the Hanlin Academy for nearly a hundred years. If I can file a complaint in front of the emperor and ruin this guy's reputation, then the minister will look at me differently!"

Yunzhe thought secretly in his heart. After sending away the official, he quickly returned to the Ministry of Personnel. He wanted to report the matter to the Minister, who would then make a decision.

The cabinet is located in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the east of the Forbidden City.

Wenyuan Pavilion occupies a large area. The cabinet bachelors handle office affairs here. Sometimes when they are busy, they will take a rest here.

It can be said that the cabinet academicians spend most of their time in Wenyuan Pavilion, as if they regard this place as their second home.
