Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

But no matter how angry you are, you still have to do things.

Liu Ye went through all the lists, and accompanied by Guo Songtao and Li Junfeng, summoned all the officials who came to take up their posts. He had a clear idea of ​​the officials among them and began to work drastically.

The prefects, state governors, circuit commissioners, and county magistrates all began to take up their posts one by one. Liu Ye had no more time. The three-year period agreed upon with Yi Xin was already a year old. If he didn't seize the time, a lot of time would be wasted.

Zhu Fengbiao originally wanted to make some trouble with the Shandong Governor's Office and get all the troublemakers over there, but he didn't expect that he would help Liu Ye completely. Any troublemaker is basically a very capable person. If he has no ability, he will never be a troublemaker. The so-called troublemakers, on the one hand, are those who are disobedient to discipline, and on the other hand, they show the incompetence of those in power. If you have no ability, people will naturally not submit to you.

But what Liu Ye lacked was not ability. For five whole days, Liu Ye chatted with these people. Through conversation, he got to know their ambitions and discovered their talents. There were quite a few talented people. Among the more than one hundred people, at least more than one-third were regarded as treasures by Liu Ye. Not only did they have talent in politics, but some also had talent in engineering, education, and even technology, and so on. Everyone had some shining points, but their biggest shining point was that they did not care about material things and only wanted to realize their ambitions.

And isn’t Shandong the best place to realize your ambitions?

Liu Ye negotiated with Guo Songtao and others for several days and finally determined the positions of everyone, making the best use of people and resources. In this regard, Liu Ye did not care about his level.

It is obvious that a seventh-rank official is capable of being a Tongpan, so Liu Ye made him a Tongpan with a stroke of the pen. If the Tongpan is good at engineering and river engineering, then he will be sent to Dengzhou Prefecture to be responsible for port construction. He does not even have a formal rank position, but as long as you do a good job, your future will definitely be bright.

In a short period of time, many troublemakers were impressed by Liu Ye's outstanding eloquence and ability, and went to take office one after another. The entire Shandong political arena began to move rapidly again, and this time it was much better than last year.

Beijing, at this time, was once again caught up in controversy.

The cause was two things. First, Liu Ye and Ding Baozhen jointly submitted a petition expressing their dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Justice's ruling. They were also deeply dissatisfied with the Ministry of Personnel's decision to transfer these individuals, especially those with a long record of wrongdoing, to other positions. They considered this the greatest irresponsibility towards the local people. They firmly demanded that the corrupt officials be punished according to the rulings of the Provincial Governor's Office and the Supreme Court.

As soon as the memorial arrived at the imperial court, it caused an uproar. Liu Ye and Ding Baozhen were incredibly tactless. The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel, one in charge of criminal cases and the other in charge of official promotions and transfers, were the highest executive bodies of the Qing Dynasty. When did you ever get to interfere with the decisions made by these two departments? This is outrageous. Most infuriating is that, after all this matter has finally passed, you're still trying to stir up trouble again. What's your logic? You think they're in the way, and transferring you out of Shandong is already a big honor. What more do you want?

Facing the heated court debate, Yi Xin and the two palaces were a little frightened. After all, it was difficult to offend the public anger. One troublemaker could be suppressed, two troublemakers could be suppressed, but when most of the civil and military officials in the court jumped out to exert pressure, they could not help but have doubts, because these were all the loyal ministers of the court!

In the end, Yi Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet and reject the memorials from Liu Ye and Ding Baozhen. At the same time, he severely reprimanded the two men in his edict for making trouble out of nothing, and told them not to stir up trouble anymore. The right thing to do was to concentrate on handling the military and political affairs of Shandong.

Liu Ye was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the transfer orders for everyone had arrived, and Shandong no longer had the power to deal with these people. He could only swallow his anger for the time being.

Damn it, you guys just wait for me, I’m not done with you!

Liu Ye said with gritted teeth.

Unfortunately, Liu Ye wanted to continue to vent his anger on them, but the bigwigs in the court did not want to let it go with Liu Ye.

Yi Xin had just suppressed the two gourds of Liu Ye and Ding Baozhen when two more big ladles floated up in the court. One wave has not yet subsided when another wave rises!

The second thing happened immediately afterwards, because the appointment of officials by Liu Ye, Guo Songtao and others in Shandong was also reported back to the capital. After all, after all the officials were appointed, they needed to report to the Ministry of Personnel.

This is exactly where the problem lies. The Shandong Governor's Office directly appointed all officials. If it was an ordinary appointment according to the procedure, it would be fine. However, Liu Ye appointed people according to their abilities and characteristics. Some people were promoted, some were demoted, and some were not even given a formal official position, but temporary assignments. There was too much arbitrariness in this.

Zhu Fengbiao was the first to jump out. In this chapter, he reported the Shandong Governor's Office, impeaching Governor Guo Songtao and Provincial Governor Li Junfeng for their misconduct, violating the laws of the court, and being unreasonable! He pointed the spearhead directly at Liu Ye behind him.

However, Yi Xin had not responded to this matter yet. Immediately afterwards, Fan Chengyan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, impeached Liu Ye for opening mines and setting up factories in Shandong, destroying the local dragon veins. Yanzhou and Laiyang were in a state of chaos. In Jinan, even the factory chimneys were several feet high, towering into the sky, completely destroying the royal aura in the north. His crime was truly unforgivable!

Yi Xin had just put down the memorial and handed it to the two palaces when a third person suddenly appeared, impeaching Liu Ye for secretly dispatching personnel to investigate officials' private affairs and gather evidence. This was the Qing Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty. Was Liu Ye planning to establish the Jinyiwei? Even if he did, it was the emperor's responsibility. Where did a mere prefect of Dengzhou get such power? This was usurpation! This was usurpation! Death penalty!

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen people stood up in the court and impeached Shandong Liu Ye or Guo Songtao, and even Ding Baozhen and Zuo Baogui were impeached!

Looking at the indignant faces below, Yi Xin finally felt that the situation was gradually slipping out of his control. Damn, what happened today? I didn't even hear the crows cry. Why am I so unlucky? Putting aside other things, just these people's impeachment is definitely enough to make me drink a pot. But how to deal with it?

Yi Xin wanted to strangle all of these people in front of her to death. "What the hell, what are you guys doing all this trouble? Are you all just too idle to do anything?"
