The Ministry of Personnel of Great Wei.

Xu Qingxiao hurried to the Ministry of Personnel as though his eyebrows were on fire.

At that moment, he fervently hoped the ministers of the Six Ministries would not stop fighting.

At the very least, they had to let him see it. Otherwise, how was he supposed to write his front-page headline?

At last, Xu Qingxiao reached the Ministry of Personnel.

Having already reached the Seventh Rank, Xu Qingxiao could hear the shouting and cursing inside.

Oh no! I'm too late!

Xu Qingxiao felt a little dejected. He immediately realized he had arrived too late: there were no sounds of fighting, only all sorts of arguments.

"When Shouren gets here, we'll have him settle this!"

"Fine, then we'll wait for Shouren."

"Who's afraid of whom? I refuse to believe Shouren will side with you old bastards."

The ministers' voices rang out, none willing to yield to the others.

Xu Qingxiao could only smile wryly. He had missed it after all.

He entered the Ministry of Personnel.

Officials of every rank greeted Xu Qingxiao, urging him to hurry inside and salvage the situation.

Xu Qingxiao walked briskly and soon reached the inner courtyard.

He went straight through the door.

Inside, the ministers of the Six Ministries sat on either side. Chen Zhengru, the Minister of Personnel, was flushed, clearly furious.

As for Gu Yan, the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Jing, the Minister of Justice, and Li Yanlong, the Minister of Works, all three looked somewhat disheveled. The fight just now must have been quite fierce.

Zhou Yan, the Minister of War, and Wang Xinzhi, the Minister of Rites, looked fine, with no noticeable changes. They merely nodded slightly upon seeing him.

"This humble official, Xu Qingxiao, pays his respects to Your Lordships."
