Secretariat.
Recently, Li Xuanjing had purged the court, with many officials from various departments being demoted or beheaded. The impact on the Secretariat was relatively minor.
Apart from two secretaries of the Wang family who participated in cleansing the emperor's side and were executed by the Ministry of Justice for plotting rebellion, no other officials were implicated.
One reason was that other officials had not participated in the actions led by King You.
Another reason was that the Director of the Secretariat, who also served as the current Left Prime Minister, was the mentor of the Minister of Justice, Li Xuanjing.
Even though the relationship between this mentor and mentee had broken down twenty years ago, there was still a layer of sentiment involved.
The officials of the Secretariat were not only unaffected by King You's actions, but they benefited greatly.
