After the execution of the corrupt ministers, the courtiers walked with their tails between their legs, afraid of meeting the same fate. They focused wholeheartedly on their duties.
For a whole month, the Crown Prince and the Regent were buried in official work. To fill the vacancies, Xie Fang and Li Chang promoted promising ministers, whether new or old, based solely on merit.
Since Zhang Zhenhua had contributed greatly during the plague relief, he was promoted to the position of Deputy Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
When the announcement was made, many ministers were left stunned. After all, even the Zhuangyuan remained in the Hanlin Academy as nothing more than a compiler, while Zhang Zhenhua had already stepped into an administrative position.
They began keeping their eyes on this rising star who had been personally recommended by the Crown Prince.
