Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

However, the chief officials of the six ministries, nine temples and five prisons are like a revolving lantern, changing every few months.

Dai Zhou, who had no chance of promotion due to improper handling of the case, has already made an appointment to become the new Minister of the Household Department at the beginning of next year.

And the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials is a relatively marginal figure in the court.

Yang Hongli!

This name may be unfamiliar.

Even those who were officials in the same dynasty did not know his identity.

However, when it comes to his parents, they are all famous.

Their branch, born in the Hongnong Yang family, was a member of the royal family of the former Sui Dynasty.

Yang Hongli's father was the Duke of Cangshan County in the former Sui Dynasty.

Later, because of participating in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, he was beheaded in the street.

His uncle was the Duke of Yue, Yang Su!

When they came to the official department, the subordinate staff at the door were scared to death!

"Master Liuliu"

The subordinate staff tremblingly told the news to a small official in a light robe.

The petty official was also trembling, and told the news of Liu Bai's arrival to the head of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Hongli!

Soon, Yang Hongli greeted him personally.

Just a few months ago, the attitudes of all officials in the court towards Liu Bai were somewhat complicated.

Some people admire Liu Bai's abilities and means.

There are also some people who are afraid of his power and loathe his greed.

In just a few days since the disaster at Xuanwumen, the direction of the wind has completely changed.

Clear water turned into fear!

Some people even rumored that Liu Bai would become the first prince with a different surname in Zhenguan Year!

His contribution is too great!

Save the royal family from fire and water!

His identity is more!

The prince's teacher, Fuguo General, Shang Shuling, Zong Zhengqing!

If these official positions have real power, none of them are inferior to those princes of the Li family!

It seems that he still hasn't entered the court.

After all, among these several positions, there is only one Zong Zhengqing, who still has some power.

The others are nothing more than good looks.

However, Liu Bai has long since become No.1 in the dynasty!

He is underestimated by saying that power is in the hands of the government and the public!

Not to mention Yang Hongli, even if Fang Xuanling and the others saw Liu Bai now, they would not dare to laugh like they used to.

"Young Master Liu, please!"

Yang Hongli greeted him out, with a look of enthusiasm mixed with fear, and also vaguely excited.

It was the first time Liu Bai met Yang Hongli.

This person's official position is high enough. Historically, he also became a big boss in three provinces in the year of Zhenguan.

But who did Liu Bai contact with before?

If Yang Hongli wanted to curry favor with Liu Bai, he probably didn't even have the qualifications.

The Liu family is a big circle, it is really difficult to fit into this circle

I sharpened my head and drilled in, but I couldn't get half a hole.

For Yang Hongli, Liu Bai's arrival is an opportunity.

However, he was still afraid.

Because of Liu Bai's arrival, it might not be his death talisman

"Yang Shangshu, I have admired you for a long time!"

Liu Bai cupped his hands.

Yang Hongli waved his hands again and again, and said, "Young Master Liu is dead! Don't be polite!"

He led Liu Bai to walk in, while shouting loudly: "Hurry up and serve tea!"

After finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "The mist buds in the elephant garden in Liuyexuan are really delicious. To put it bluntly, next year's salary will be all bought for tea."

Liu Bai kept a cold face all the time, and did not answer Yang Hongli's words.

Yang Hongli was beating drums in his heart.

Before he sat down, Liu Bai said: "Yang Shangshu, at this critical moment, Liu will not say more polite words. Liu needs all the officials and subordinates under Yang Shangshu, so he is looking for a file in the warehouse of the Ministry of Officials. !"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "I hope Yang Shangshu will cooperate!"

Yang Hongli immediately became serious.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart.

From this sentence, he heard that Liu Bai came to him entirely because of the chaos that had occurred in the past few days.

As a result, Liu Bai didn't even care about it, and used the fake news of his death to deceive others

Chapter 1061 Smelly and Shameless, This is the First Time Here

Although Yang Hongli is a marginal figure, he knows what he should know.

After all, the official position and qualifications are here, especially now that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he knows some inside information better.

In addition to my own speculations, those of them who are in important positions already knew that Liu Bai was not dead at all!

Those who cheat are just some people with bad intentions.

Those who hated Liu Bai, or coveted the Liu family would always take it for granted that Liu Bai had already been buried alive in the Xuanwumen Urn.

This is what they dream about.

Yang Hongli even knew that since the death of the samurai Xun, many people were about to make a move, or had already made a move.

In the end, it was solved silently by the Liu family.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not go to Liu's house in person.

It's clear that he went to plead with Liu Bai for those idiots!

This is why many people are afraid of Liu Bai now.

After expressing that he would definitely cooperate with Liu Bai with all his strength, Yang Hongli immediately went to gather the staff.

Liu Bai's face has become a real Shangfang sword.

Soon, under the leadership of Liu Bai, the officials from Shangshu to ordinary subordinates entered the place where countless official files had been stored for many years.

The six ministries, nine temples and five prisons all have their own archives.

Just like the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in the archives, there are details of all the expenditure and income of the imperial court over the years.

For every piece of money, one must know how much was spent, who spent it, and who was the chief official who approved it.

These records will undergo a large-scale accounting every year.

As long as you find something wrong, even if the chief official at that time has retired, you have to go back and ask for clarification.

Responsibilities are very detailed!

The same is true for the Ministry of Officials.

Every three years, the imperial court conducts an evaluation of central and local officials.

Those who are above the middle and above the judges will probably be promoted.

Those who are middle and lower, or worse than middle and lower, will basically be dismissed.

What the imperial court has to consider now is not the number of talents, but the best use of everything!

There are tens of thousands of students in the academy waiting to enter the court, there is not enough space!

In addition, the Ministry of Officials also holds the information of all officials.

The information about promotion, scheduling, and mutual contacts is more complete than Taiji!

What Liu Bai was looking for was Luo Yi's information.

Luo Yi is very interesting.

His ancestral home is Liu Bai's hometown, Jingyang County.

At that time, the name there was Yunyang County. The Luo family had a prominent family. His father, Luo Rong, was the general of the Zuojianmen in the former Sui Dynasty.

In the third year of Wude, Luo Yi returned to Datang.

I don't know what ecstasy he gave Li Yuan, or maybe it was because of Li Jiancheng.

After establishing a few meritorious service, he was directly given the surname Li, and he belonged to the clan, and became the king of Yan County guarding the north!

The power is so great that it is rare in the dynasty!

Even after Li Jiancheng's death, Li Er was worried about the turmoil in the court, so he didn't dare to move Luo Yi.

He was even named General Zuo Yiwei, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, who is more important than Sangong!

At that time, the only person in the court who could stand up to Luo Yi was not alone.

It was the entire civil servant group headed by Fang Xuanling!

As for why Luo Yi has such great power, until now, Li Er still keeps it secret.

Liu Bai didn't ask further questions.

After all, Liu Bai is not a royal.

Li Er is smart enough, so there must be a reason not to say anything.

Since Li Er didn't say anything, Liu Bai could only investigate by himself.

After gathering a large number of people, finally in the corner of the archives, an old box full of dust was found.

The amount of work was really huge, and it took half an hour!

The information of the Ministry of Officials, even if it is described as "vast and vast", it is not an exaggeration in the slightest!

There are quite a few boxes of the same kind, and all the information stored in them is the information of senior officials who have died or been removed.

If it wasn't for Liu Bai, I'm afraid this box wouldn't be opened in hundreds of years.

After getting the box containing Luo Yi's materials, Liu Bai asked Yang Hongli for a carriage, sat on the side of the carriage himself, and left the palace.

Chang'an City in the early morning was completely silent.

People who are used to the tense atmosphere don't think there will be many surprises today.

People as usual.

Those who should go to the shop go to the shop, and those who should go to the street sell things.

After a turmoil, there were a lot fewer idlers strolling on the street.

There are still many people in Daoxingfang.

After so many days, the common people have long since dispersed.

Most of the ones who remained were housekeepers of wealthy families, or some people with bad intentions.

Since the death of the samurai Xun, there has only been a silence at the gate of the Liu family mansion for one day.

How could those who coveted the Liu family let go of this great opportunity?
