Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I believe that, on succession, all courtiers are supposed to move to the successor's court. (Unless, perhaps, they really hate the successor.)
In particular, anyone with any kind of title (honorary, Chinese specialist, commander, councillor) ought to move to the successor's court.
(After all, if the successor is lower-tier then he will move his capital to the same county as the predecessor's capital, even if that's not the de jure capital. This strongly implies that the imperial court is constant, not dissolved upon ruler death.)
However, in practice, almost all of the unlanded courtiers scatter to other courts - where they almost immediately die.
This is highly annoying because it removes the highly-skilled courtiers, Chinese specialists, etc etc that you have been gathering over your previous ruler's lifetime.
The loss of the Chinese specialists is particularly annoying, because it's non-trivial to hire another one. (You need to accumulate a LOT of Grace.)
Steps to reproduce the issue.
The attached save is as at 4th Jan. The player character is (unfortunately) certain to die on 8th Jan.
All commanders and councillors are marked as interesting characters.
After succession, almost all of them will move to another court and immediately die.
This is particularly vexing for the:
--- content Jewish skill>20 councillors
--- skill>20 commanders with 2-3 traits
--- Chinese strategist
--- Scholar-Bureaucrat
I don't know if the (currently-landed) successor had a council before succession but, if he did, all of his council are fired as well.
