Grace Yue's Silent Strength: The Pillar of Henry Yuan's Guar Chapter 111
The six-yearly imperial inspection has officially begun, and a bloodless war has already been surging like an undercurrent.
Everyone in the capital is walking on thin ice. I guess the tens of thousands of local officials are not having an easy time at this moment either.
The Ministry of Personnel has been very busy these days. The results of the assessments at the local levels are constantly being gathered to the capital through a spider-web of post stations. The assessments of officials in the capital are even more complicated.
The Minister of Personnel Liu An is not a 100% eunuch party member. Most of the time, he is an official who performs his duties conscientiously and impartially. He has the ideal of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country in his heart. His political achievements during his tenure are not flawless. However, he and Wang Shengsheng are from the same hometown and Jinshi in the same year. The two have a close personal relationship. The reason why he was able to become the Minister of Personnel was also due to the help of Wang Shengsheng when he was the Second Assistant of the Cabinet. Although Wang Shengsheng has been demoted now, his reputation remains with Xie Zhongren. Many people believe that in a few years, Xie Zhongren will find a way to transfer him back to the capital. In addition, most of the people in the Ministry of Personnel are promoted by Wang Shengsheng, so the advantage is completely on the side of Xie Zhongren.
As expected, the imperial examination had just begun when Simon Yan had already discovered several officials from aristocratic families, and their assessment results were worrying.
