705. Yan Geng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials
Capital City, Prince's Mansion.
Xia Lishuang looked at the letter sent in front of her, and finally a smile appeared on her zombie face for several days.
Jiang Tang, who was waiting on the side, came up with tea. As soon as he saw Xia Lishuang's smile, he knew that it must be another letter from the princess.
"My lord, what did the princess say in her letter this time?" Jiang Tang looked at Xia Lishuang curiously.
Xia Lishuang smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, but...Jiang Tang, go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to find Yan Geng. I want all the information about Xue Huaiyi, the governor of Yizhou, and Lin Zhengbang, the governor."
Jiang Tang agreed and hurried to prepare.
It was originally just a file about the promotion and transfer of officials. While waiting, Xia Lishuang read the letter again and saw the slight scratches on the back of the letter, and then she felt relieved.
Yan Geng came in person.
This minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who is over forty years old, has a big belly, and looks extremely amiable. Among the six ministers in the court, he has always been extremely low-key. Sometimes, most people even cannot remember the existence of this minister.
After all, although the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials, it actually has no decision-making power.
Yan Geng looked at the newly appointed Crown Prince and felt his heart agitate.
The former His Royal Highness Prince Yu was obviously more unpredictable than the then Crown Prince Xia Liming.
In the beginning, he was just demoted to Jiangrao County to be an idle prince, but after marrying that princess, he didn't know what evil happened. In less than two years, he had already become the crown prince.
Location.
But this prince is different from the previous one. He has formed a faction from no state, and the only force behind it is the prime minister's family.
But now that His Majesty has made it clear that he is wary of the Wen family, the prince acts like he has nothing to do. Even when his own princess was sent abroad, he did not show any unnecessary emotions.
"Your Majesty, these are all the transfer and promotion records of Xue Huaiyi and Lin Zhengbang. Please take a look at them!" Yan Geng said respectfully in a low voice.
Xia Lishuang nodded, curiously took the file in front of her, looked at the records on it, and couldn't help but frown.
If nothing else, when an official is promoted in the DPRK, whether the official will bend the law for personal gain will be taken into consideration. Therefore, the official's origin will be implicitly paid attention to.
For example, Yuan Zihe was sent to Jincheng because he was born in the capital city.
Therefore, most local officials will not be elected locally.
But Xue Huaiyi and Lin Zhengbang were different. These two people were originally from Yizhou. When they were still in their prime, they were sent to other places, but miraculously, they were all transferred back to Yizhou in the end.
Xia Lishuang frowned, suddenly feeling as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
"Do you have records of all the officials in Lingnan?" Xia Lishuang did not want the two people's records this time. Instead, as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked for the promotion records of all officials in Lingnan.
Yan Geng was not surprised at all by such a request and just smiled.
"If I had known that the prince wanted it, I would have already prepared it. I would have someone bring it in right away!"
Xia Lishuang was slightly stunned and couldn't help but take another look at Yan Geng.
It's not easy for the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, whose political performance seems to be mediocre, to be able to see through his thoughts... No wonder, despite his poor political performance for so many years, he has made no achievements and has never been blamed by his father.
Such considerate talents are undoubtedly the most heartwarming to put in the official department.
Xia Lishuang glanced at the other party approvingly, looked at the file presented by the guard behind her, glanced at it hastily, and basically confirmed her suspicion.
At least 70% of this group of officials in Lingnan were later transferred back to their hometowns for various reasons!
