[Half a month has passed. 】
[You have been waiting for news from Qingzhou, turning a blind eye to the various behaviors of Liu Yunqing, the new official minister. 】
[In fact, when the Queen Mother takes the throne, even if you are the emperor, the final decision to wear the red dress requires the Queen Mother’s approval. 】
[On some matters, Queen Mother Su Chang still respects your opinions, but you have no involvement in the selection of these officials. You can only let her promote her cronies to key positions in the Sixth Department. 】
[The Ministry of Personnel has the power to adjust the appointment and dismissal of officials. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Liu Yunqing, with the support of the Queen Mother, made drastic adjustments to the officials of various ministries. Some were promoted at the same level, some were promoted openly and secretly, some were promoted openly and secretly, and some were promoted secretly. Although some officials were promoted, they were transferred to other states and counties, and the Queen Mother's Party became more and more powerful...]
[For a time, people in the court hall were in panic. 】
[Many officials are planning to write to you, hoping that you will stop the Minister of Civil Affairs from misbehaving, but many officials are worried that this is not only the Queen Mother’s intention, but also your intention. 】
[This caused officials who wanted to submit a letter to be in a dilemma, not knowing what to do. 】
[They can offend the Queen Mother and they can offend you, but they dare not offend you and the Queen Mother at the same time. 】
"How dare a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs dare to be so presumptuous?"
Empress Liang Zhao looked at the pictures that kept appearing in the simulator, her face as gloomy as water.
The Ministry of Personnel is an important organ for managing civil officials. It holds great power and is responsible for the system of ranking and selection, the method of conducting examinations and deposing officials, the canon of granting and awarding, and the final system of determining official status.
To put it simply, all matters such as the promotion, examination, selection, and promotion of civil officials are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel.
The Ministry of Personnel controls the power of life and death of civilian officials.
It is true that if no serious mistake is made, even the Minister of Personnel cannot arbitrarily mobilize officials from the other five ministries, but this has a prerequisite, and that is the support of those in power.
If the person in power supports it, then the official minister will have the sword of Shang Fang, which can be chopped first and then played, and can be mobilized at will.
They unscrupulously adjust officials by using promotions, demotions, horizontal transfers, and delegating important positions to other states and counties as excuses.
Under the dynasty system, the person in charge of Dahuang is not the empress Liang Zhao, but the Queen Mother Su Chang.
All she needs is a jade seal and a red seal, and it is a piece of cake to transfer officials from district to district.
"Liu Yunqing is so brave!"
"This move is to force the neutral ministers to take sides. Once these ministers choose to join the Queen Mother's Party, the Queen Mother's Party will overpower the Tsing Yi Party and become the largest party in the court. By then, I will really have no chance at all."
Empress Liang Zhao took a deep breath and continued to calm down her excited emotions. She had indeed made a mistake. She never thought that just changing the official minister could shake the entire court?
The power of the Minister of Civil Affairs is too great.
At the same time, Empress Liang Zhao was also a little lucky. Fortunately, she knew about Queen Mother Su Chang's conspiracy, so she immediately chose Liu Yuanqi and gave her a one-year verification period.
If Liu Yunqing is really chosen, I'm afraid everything in front of me will become a reality.
[Another half month has passed. 】
[Qingzhou rebelled. 】
[Under the control of the Dragon Guards, the Qingzhou rebellion this time only set off an uprising in half of the area, but similarly, the Dragon Guards' men were also completely held back and found it difficult to return to the capital. 】
[The government and the public are shocked. You who know the direction of history know that if Zhou Zhenwen had not sent out with the army, even half of Qingzhou's rebellion would not have been suppressed by the assembled mob. 】
[With the idea of making things right after the situation has been lost, you offered to send Zhou Zhenwen out with the army to suppress the Qingzhou rebellion, with Zhou Zhenwen as the commander-in-chief. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen did not refuse. He was ordered to lead an army to Qingzhou. 】
[In this regard, Queen Mother Su Chang did not stop it and let you arrange it. 】
"The Qingzhou Incident still happened."
"Sure enough, if we don't contact the Qingzhou Family and get their support, even if the Dragon Guards go there, the final result will still be rebellion."
"There is a difference between the rebellion of half of the states and counties in Qingzhou and the rebellion of all the states and counties. Zhou Zhenwen should be able to deal with it as soon as possible this time."
"The Demon Queen is so easy to talk to, I'm afraid she has a deeper conspiracy hidden..."
Empress Liang Zhao sighed. It was obvious that she had just succeeded to the throne and did not have enough prestige. Even if the dragon guards went there, they could only stabilize half of the states and counties.
"Facts have proven that Zhou Zhenwen's idea is correct. Only the Qingzhou family supports the imperial court can the Qingzhou rebellion be stopped."
"The Qingzhou family may have known about the rebellion for a long time, and they just followed the trend."
"Without enough benefits, they don't need to offend Zhang Qi. They can even take advantage of the rebellion to make a fortune. They can sell grain, grass, ordnance, weapons, tents and bedding to the Qingzhou rebels."
"No matter who wins, the imperial court or the Qingzhou rebels, they can bet again and make sure they make no loss."
Empress Liang Zhao knew very well the psychology of the aristocratic families.
Let them participate in the rebellion and overthrow the wilderness together?
There's no way they can do it.
Because the gap between returns and risks is too large, it is not worth the risk.
But if they were asked to sell something and earn some war money, they would definitely do it.
"If the imperial court wins, they will follow the same scene as the last time they simulated the Qingzhou Incident. They will cooperate with Zhou Zhenwen to quickly pacify the counties and counties and give the imperial court a favor."
"On the contrary, if the imperial court loses, they will continue to invest in the rebel army, spark war in other states, and follow the trend to rise."
"The battle of Qingzhou seems ordinary, but in fact it is a battle of national destiny. It must be won, and it must be won beautifully."
"Once the imperial court is defeated, the reality of foreign power and internal interference will make the other vassal kings think wrongly. Once war breaks out across the country, it will really be uncontrollable."
[You: Queen Mother, the transfer of court officials has been too frequent recently, and now there is a war. Can these things be stopped for a while? 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: Your Majesty’s intention is understood by the Ai family. The Ai family will discuss this matter with Liu Shangshu. 】
[You: Thank you, Queen Mother. 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: Your Majesty, the war in Qingzhou is unknown. According to the ancient system, we should pay homage to our ancestors, pray for good luck, and wish the imperial army smooth sailing and victory. 】
"coming?"
Empress Liang Zhao's eyes suddenly became sharp and she murmured: "She really couldn't help it..."
[You: I will build an altar in the palace tomorrow to worship my ancestors. 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: Why build another altar? Isn't the place for ancestor worship always located on the hill behind the palace? 】
[You: The Queen Mother means that I should go to Jiulong Mountain to offer sacrifices? 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: The Jiulong Mausoleum is where all previous emperors are buried, and it is also the location of our Great Wilderness Dragon Vein. Where can Jiulong Mountain be suitable for worshiping? 】
[You: What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true, I will let someone arrange it. 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: Tomorrow, the Ai family will also go together to pay homage to our ancestors. 】
【Hello. 】
