Mr. Zhuang sent off the Ministry of Personnel official who came to deliver the appointment paper, then turned to his three disciples, "Come, tell me what this is about."
Mr. Zhuang is not really part of the officialdom, and the news from the court previously came via Bai Shan and Zhou Man through various channels.
Although Bai Shan and the others were in the palace, despite many people impeaching Chen Fulin in these few days and even the Crown Prince taking a stand, no one actually asked Mr. Zhuang, who is the person involved.
So Mr. Zhuang knows nothing.
This morning, the three disciples had just returned from a break at the palace; they had just entered the door when personnel from the Ministry of Personnel arrived, not looking for the three of them, but for him.
They handed Mr. Zhuang an appointment letter.
