Chapter 461 Extra: The People Da Yu Officials Fear Most (Part 5)
Shen Qingyue looked through the pile of documents that Emperor Xiao Wu had sent over, feeling somewhat troubled.
Lian Qianli silently led his daughter, who had just returned from the palace, into the house, where he saw Shen Qingyue resting her chin on one hand and playing with a calligraphy brush in the other.
Yes, Lian Qianli and Shen Qingyue's daughter is named Chen Momo, and she is already seven years old this year!
When the child was born, Lian Qianli lost a game of rock-paper-scissors to decide the child's surname.
Therefore, the child took Shen Qingyue's surname.
No one, regardless of who they are, expressed any dissatisfaction.
Lian Qianli was quite happy, as were Hua Yueniang and the Alliance Leader, who were far away in Jiangnan.
As long as it's a child from a thousand miles away, it doesn't matter whose surname they take...
As for why it's called "Silent..."
Because this little girl has been chattering away non-stop ever since she learned to speak.
She wakes up whenever the rooster crows.
Once it wakes up, it starts talking, talking to everyone, and even to non-humans.
In short, if she wanted to talk, she could chat with the stone lions at the entrance of the princess's residence for two hours straight...
Because of this, Shangguan Jin was given the nickname "Mo Mo"!
It means you should stay silent.
Lian Qianli saw that Shen Qingyue didn't speak, but just looked at the pile of documents in front of him.
"What? What task has His Majesty assigned you this time?" Lian Qianli asked.
Shen Qingyue pushed the documents in front of her toward Lian Qianli.
"See for yourself! His Majesty has left the final stage of this Ministry of Personnel's official assessment to me."
These are lists of people who have performed well during their terms of office and are eligible for promotion.
Let me verify this, and then His Majesty can have the Ministry of Personnel make a public announcement.
His Majesty also instructed Eunuch Hu to verify the information more thoroughly.
"Don't waste any talent," Shen Qingyue sighed.
Lian Qianli was taken aback.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
He wouldn't really want you to get involved in politics, would he?
In the past, we were already doing a good job by keeping an eye on officials to prevent them from doing bad things.
At that time, it was at most a matter of tattling.
Now I'm asking you to do these things...
This is directly related to the appointment and removal of officials; isn't this stealing the job from the Ministry of Personnel? Lian Qianli analyzed in a low voice.
Shen Qingyue certainly knew all this.
She understood what Emperor Xiao Wu was thinking.
This cousin... thinks differently from most people.
"What can we do? Anyway, I belong to the Inner Palace now."
There seems to be nothing wrong with the Imperial Household Department handling these matters.
Okay, that's enough talk, let's get to work!
"Mo Mo, how about helping your mother with the chores?" Shen Qingyue patted the two little buns with bells tied on them on her daughter's head.
“Okay! I’ll help Mother!” Mo Mo immediately agreed.
A total of twenty-four officials were assessed by the Ministry of Personnel this time.
They were all officials of the seventh rank or below.
If someone's performance evaluation is rated as "Excellent," this indicates outstanding performance and they can be promoted two levels.
Those who perform well in the evaluation can be promoted to the next level.
The basic assessment results were lateral transfers.
Of these twenty-four officials, two were rated as excellent, one of whom was a distant relative of Chang Sheng Gong.
He served as a county magistrate in a county government office in the north.
In three years, he transformed that county into a respectable place. Not only did he earn a good reputation, but the county under his jurisdiction was practically a haven for honesty and integrity...
The other was a county magistrate in a small water town in Jiangnan. In essence, this person had some connection with the Shangguan family.
The county magistrate's older sister was a concubine of the eldest son of Lord Shangguan.
This concubine also gave Lord Shangguan two grandsons and a daughter.
This also shows that this concubine was quite favored.
That small town was originally prosperous, and this relative of the Shangguan family did quite well in the area, with an excellent reputation.
I've heard that the people have given it a lot of praise...
Shen Qingyue first had someone find all the information on these twenty-four officials.
The information was not provided by the Ministry of Personnel.
It was compiled by Shen Qingyue herself.
From the moment she took over the Spring Evening Gala, she created a database of resumes of officials from Chongqing within the inner court.
Each official's resume, regardless of rank, is stored in a small compartment.
It contains everything he did during his time in office.
There were both good and bad things.
As for that information, it wasn't provided by the Ministry of Personnel, but rather by the Spring Festival Gala in various places, which was sent over based on information provided by the local people.
The accuracy rate is almost 99%.
Twenty-four resumes were quickly placed in front of Shen Qingyue.
After reviewing the files of the twenty-four officials, Shen Qingyue had the rest of the files put back.
They kept only one copy, the one belonging to the Shangguan family's relative.
"What's wrong, Yao'er? Is this not right? Or is there something wrong with it?" Lian Qianli asked with a smile.
"It's just... a bit too good, almost unreal."
Does Da Yu have such good officials?
"I'm not saying this to be rude, but even my grandfather couldn't do this!" Shen Qingyue smiled.
Even Qianli Xiaoxiao took the document over to take a look.
At that moment, Momo suddenly came over carrying a document.
"Mother, look at this!" Mo Mo said excitedly.
