The promotion and transfer of officials are all carried out under the auspices of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Yu took a look, such frequent and chaotic transfers, everything pointed at one person, that is, Li Yannian, Li Shaer's father. If it was said that someone under the ministry did it, Li Yannian would not be able to escape the involvement, after all, Li Yannian is now the head of the ministry.

"Brother Han, have you ever inquired with the Ministry about this?" Liu Yu was silent for a long time and asked.

Han Sheng shook his head and said, "Why don't I come over and talk to you first, and see what you mean." ”

"In this way, Brother Han, you have the right first and pretend not to know, and then discuss it after I have checked."

Han Sheng knew that Liu Yue wanted to use the intelligence agency to investigate this matter privately, and it had nothing to do with him, the right minister of Mingli, for the time being. Han Sheng nodded, discussed some more important matters with Liu Yu, and left.

When Han Sheng left, Liu Yu pondered things again, and always felt that there were some things in the imperial court that he had overlooked.

After Qi'er ascended the throne, he focused too much on how to prevent the Su family from counterattacking, pacifying Lingnan, and then on Su Zhe who was in the dark, and ignored the most basic thing in the court, which was the stability of the court personnel. This time, Han Sheng proposed the abnormal transfer of officials, which made Liu Yu feel that in fact, the external strife had a tendency to develop into internal strife.

Liu Yue knew that Su Zhe had always been eyeing the throne that originally belonged to him, and there were a group of ministers who were still secretly contacting him. These ministers can be said to be spies in the court, and the spies in the court naturally want to develop the same party, or suppress dissidents and remove their obstacles. It was all done in secret until it happened.

Now Liu Yu just wants to completely stifle the thoughts of this group of people.

Liu Yu summoned Qu Zhu overnight. He was told about these unusual transfers of officials. By the way, let him investigate. See if there is anything unusual about these officials.

Qu Zhu saw that the person mentioned in the book was promoted and demoted, which made him very puzzled, it stands to reason that if there is a chaotic party to arrange eyeliner in the court, there is no need to spend so much time to make simple things complicated. At this point, Liu Yu also thought that if he was in a hostile position, he would not make the target so obvious. It rises and falls, and it goes back and forth, as if it is afraid that people will not know the way.

"General, do you say that it is possible, it is a chaotic party...... Want to drive a wedge between these people and the general? Qu Zhu made a bold assumption.

Liu Yu looked at the characters mentioned in the notebook, most of them were middle- and lower-level officials, many younger, and they could not talk about being able to influence the government.

"Check it first, don't startle the snake."

Qu Zhu nodded and went back to handle the matter immediately.

By the next day. Liu Yu deliberately summoned the ministers of the six ministries and checked the copywriting and transcripts of the six ministries. Treat it as a routine inspection. But in fact, what Liu Yu is concerned about is the situation of those officials involved in Han Sheng's recital, reading their governance recital, and some opinions in the copywriting.

The officials of the court of the Shun Dynasty did not mean that they could eat dry food while sitting in the yamen, they not only had to be able to handle government affairs, but their daily actions would also be recorded, what words they said at the meeting, what opinions they had, or when they were absent from work and asked for leave, these are very clear in the records.

Liu Yu focused on a few people, and did not feel that these officials were very different, but Liu Yu found a few young officials with unique insights, but they were not listed in the book. There are a few officials who are nearly 30 years old, and they have been serving in the middle and lower ranks of the six ministries for nearly 10 years, and their official positions have not been promoted, which is equivalent to eating and waiting for death.

The officials of the Sixth Ministry attached great importance to Liu Yu's inspection, believing that it was a signal for Liu Yu to reform the Sixth Ministry. After all, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Liu Yu immediately revoked the six yamen and changed them to Shangshutai, and the six ministries no longer accepted the direct jurisdiction of Shangshutai, but were only supervised. This move was tantamount to improving the status of the six ministries in the imperial court, making them appear more independent and autonomous, and they could almost skip Shangshutai to do things and things. However, such an outcome is obviously somewhat unfavorable to those who have strengthened the administration of the DPRK. Some officials thought that Liu Yu would find an opportunity to return some of the power of the Six Ministries to Shang Shutai again to achieve a balance of power.

In this inspection, Liu Yu focused on inspecting the officials. Originally, the Ministry of Officials was the most conspicuous department of the six ministries, and the big and small officials in the world were all produced by the Ministry of Officials, and some middle and lower-level officials, the Ministry of Officials did not even need to apply to the emperor, and only needed to report to Shangshutai. The power of the officials is dominant, and before the Shun Dynasty, the sale of officials and lords was repeatedly prohibited. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, although Liu Yu has not heard the rumors of selling officials, in the court, banquets and gifts still cannot be stopped. At the beginning, when Liu Yu was investigating the kidnapping case of Sui Yi, he found that Li Yannian, the secretary of the household department at that time, was involved with some people of unknown origin, and it was at a banquet where officials contacted and gave gifts.

Liu Yu is not at ease with the people under him in the end. Especially Li Yannian, who is divorced from him.

Li Yannian is nominally his father-in-law, but the biggest prejudice between Li Yannian and Liu Yu is Li Shaer. Before Liu Yu and Li Sha'er established a relationship, Li Yannian was also obedient to Liu Yu, but since Liu Yue forcibly accepted Li Sha'er as a concubine, after Li Sha'er left home, Li Yannian and Liu Yu drew the land as a boundary, as if they were going to die of old age and never get along, until Liu Yu's coup d'état was successful, and Qi'er ascended the throne as emperor.

Liu Yu was the last to inspect the ministry, but he stayed in the ministry's department for the longest time, even read every volume of copywriting, and even inquired with some inconspicuous documents and calligraphy offices in the ministry. Because Liu Yu inspected this time, he also took the new Imperial History Liao Mingsheng of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, which also made the people of the Ministry of Officials hostile, in the final analysis, these people who have been officials in the capital all the year round look down on the magistrates, and Liao Mingsheng is next to Liu Yucai to rise to prominence, and the people of the Ministry will think that this is Liu Yu establishing prestige for Liao Mingsheng.

After roughly flipping through the copy, Liu Yu said in public: "In the future, the appointment and dismissal of officials in the six ministries can be presided over by each ministry itself, and this part of the power will be temporarily transferred to Shangshutai, and the right minister will personally take charge of it." ”

The people in the Ministry of Officials did not expect that Liu Yue would cut the power of the Ministry of Officials when he came up. In the past, the promotion of officials within the six ministries was directly reported by the six ministries to the official department, and then the official department forwarded it to the six yamen, and the six yamen usually acquiesced in the appointment and dismissal of such less important officials.

Sharpening power is very faceless for Li Yannian. Li Yannian stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Wang, you are ......"

Liu Yudao: "After the six ministries went their separate ways, the other five ministries were also stable, but the ministry was too powerful, and it needed to be checked and balanced." Li Shangshu won't have any opinions, right? ”

Li Yannian frowned and glanced at Liu Yu. In the end, he still didn't express an opinion, just sighed, and took it as a tacit. (To be continued......)
