"Master, do we want to tell His Majesty about this..."

A man bowed and stood in front of Qiunan by the moat outside the palace. Qiunan looked at the genius Baiyun, feeling hesitant.

After following Guo Hao for so many years, he knows the best who Guo Hao is. Guo Hao originally wanted her to be the queen, but some people in the court opposed it. If she takes advantage of this opportunity, she can completely clear some obstacles.

But Duke An Guo was so special. He was not only Guo Hao's father-in-law, but also one of the founding heroes. If things were to go big, I'm afraid that Guo Hao would not be willing to see it.

"Don't tell His Majesty about this for the time being, but you can tell Lord Wang Pu secretly that the cabinet is the main focus now, so he will definitely handle this matter well."

"yes!"

After his subordinates left, Qiunan returned to the palace, as if nothing had happened. The next day, Guo Hao really mentioned the candidate for the cabinet.

"My dear friends, now that Lord Fan has passed away, Lord Wei has retired and returned home. Now that the cabinet is missing two people, do you have any suitable recommendations?"

As soon as Guo Hao said this, everyone looked at the five remaining people in the cabinet. The Minister of Personnel was ready to be called by Guo Hao.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I think the candidates for the cabinet should be selected in Hanlin. All the abilities, qualifications and character are indispensable."

Wang Pu was the first to speak, Guo Hao nodded and signaled him to continue.

"After years of assessment, there are three of them the most outstanding, namely: Lu Duoxun, Li Fang, Shen Yilun..."

There are two quotas, but there are three candidates, so one must be defeated. Guo Hao looked at Chen Shen, the Minister of Personnel.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Shen went out after hearing this and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the cabinet has no right to participate in the appointment and removal. If Your Majesty asks me, I think these three people are suitable."

Chen Shen did not offend anyone. After all, he really had no right to choose the prime minister. Guo Hao knew what these people were thinking, so he shook his head.

"As the Minister of Personnel, he has the responsibility to supervise all officials. Not to mention good officials for now, there must be one or two good officials!"

All the ministers heard what Guo Hao meant. He asked if there was a suitable candidate outside the cabinet. Chen Shen thought about it briefly after hearing this.

"When you go back to your Majesty, there is really one person here, Youzhou Song Qi!"

When Guo Hao heard this name, he felt a little unfamiliar. Song Qi, whose courtesy name was Chubao, was from Ji County, Youzhou. He served in the Zhao Kuangzan shogunate in his early years, and later he should have recognized the military supervisor of Yanyun area.

After Chen Shen finished speaking, he returned to the crowd. Guo Hao looked at the other ministers and saw that no one was talking, so he spoke: "Now there is another candidate. Do you have any suggestions?"

Seeing Guo Hao ask again, Ang Lee suddenly stood up and said, "I think since no one speaks, it means it's difficult to make a decision. Since these people are all suitable, you might as well give them a chance."

Today is a great dynasty, so many princes and nobles have also come. Li An rarely speaks on weekdays, and Guo Hao did not think much at this time.

"Well, what Duke An Guo was right, so let them try it. All four of them entered the cabinet temporarily and conducted an assessment for a month. The results will be announced in a month. Those who pass the assessment will stay.

You guys have formulated the assessment content and then showed it to me. As cabinet ministers, you must be outstanding in all aspects, and no one can favoritism!"

"yes!"

Five cabinet ministers received the imperial edict, Guo Hao said something more, and then announced his resignation from the court.

In the evening, Guo Hao came to Li Fu's bedroom. Li Fu made him a bowl of soup as usual and then massaged him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that my father spoke in the court today, and he should no longer be angry with you."

"Well, I shouldn't be angry anymore. Isn't it just a title for a queen? Why do I have to fight for it? I really shouldn't be named queen. It's just a title."

From the "probation period" at the court meeting to the empress here, Guo Hao still has a lot of later generational thinking, which cannot be understood now.

Since the Queen's dispute, Ang Lee has been a little dissatisfied with Guo Hao, but Guo Hao is already the emperor and he regrets it too late.

In recent years, Ang Lee has been silent every court meeting. Guo Hao feels that he is at the age of retirement, so it is a good thing to worry less.

But Guo Hao didn't think much about Ang Lee's speech this time, and he felt that he respected Ang Lee very much, so he said he would give it to him.

"That's right, it's not in line with etiquette after all, but I think it's good now. We are always a family."

"Yes, who said no, the family had to divide the family into different levels, and in the end the family relationship was gone.

People often say that it is the most ruthless imperial family, but I don’t believe it. Maybe my descendants will change after I die, but that’s not something I can worry about.”

Guo Hao understood this very clearly, including his current reforms, no one would say anything when he was alive, but once he left, some things might not develop according to his wishes.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a very powerful emperor and thought of everything for his descendants, but his descendants did not do what he thought. As a result, the Ming Dynasty was also submerged in history like other dynasties.

So Guo Hao is not worried about his descendants. What he needs to do now is to improve the national strength of the Song Dynasty as much as possible, so that his descendants can survive for a long time.

After hearing Guo Hao say this, Li Fu didn't know how to speak. Ang Lee asked him to blow the wind beside his pillow and mentioned Lu Duosun's name.

However, Guo Hao did not talk about work after "get off work", and Li Fu had no choice. Although he could talk about the Beggar Gang, Guo Hao's definition of the Beggar Gang was only used in business.

Li Fu was not in a hurry to find the opportunity. Everyone was acting according to Guo Hao's expression. If he was unhappy, everything would be empty talk.

...

After the four of them entered the cabinet, they were harmonious on the surface, but secretly the smell of gunpowder was very strong. Lu Duosun knew that Ang Lee had helped him, and although it was temporary, he had to show it.

He knew that Guo Hao was more optimistic about Chen Xuan, so the first person he visited was Chen Xuan.

Bianliang City, Chen Mansion.

"Secretary Lu Duosun, pay homage to Lord Chen."

"Mr. Lu, don't be polite. I wonder why Mr. Lu came to find Chen?"

Chen Xuan can be said to be the busiest among several cabinet ministers, because Guo Hao gave him the things in Jiangnan to take care of, which was a test and a training for him.

"I heard about the things in the Jiangnan region of Lord Chen, so I wanted to share my worries for the adults. If you have any needs, please give me some instructions!"

According to the official position of Chen Xuan is higher than Lu Duosun, but his qualifications are lacking than Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan does need help at this time, but he dare not use the people in the cabinet. Some of his subordinates have limited abilities, so Lu Duosun was a little moved after saying that.

"Your Majesty let you enter the cabinet, which is also considered a trust in you. Jiangnan government affairs are crucial and you cannot be careless."

"The lower officials understand that in fact, the lower officials entered the cabinet to share the worries of Your Majesty, consider the Song Dynasty, and plan for the people of the world.

Lu is not talented and believes that he can help Lord Chen. If Lord Chen does not dislike him, he is willing to do his best to Lord Chen!”

Lu Duosun was very smart. He saw that Guo Hao attached great importance to Chen Xuan, not because of how capable Chen Xuan was, but because of his youth.

In addition, Chen Xuan is behind Chen Lin. Although Chen Lin is not in the court now, his relationship with Guo Hao is extraordinary, so he directly defected to Chen Xuan and had to admit that he is very clever.

In addition to Lu Duosun, Li Fang, Chen Yilun and Song Qi also chose to take sides after coming to Bianliang. Chen Xuan, as the one with the least qualifications, was not within their consideration.

The assessment content has been released, which means handling local affairs. The four people will be sent to the local government to urge the implementation of central policies and correct local hidden dangers.

In this way, Jiangnan is the most difficult place to deal with. Although Guo Hao appeased the people's hearts, after all, it was the rule of the New Dynasty, and there were always some different voices.

So Lu Duosun decisively chose Jiangnan, Li Fang went to Bazhong, Song Qi chose Yanyun, and Chen Yilun went to Huaibei.

Everyone was sent out, waiting for the final result, Guo Hao put this aside and began to pay attention to the promotion of new crops.

"Your Majesty, now all the ten experimental fields around Bianliang have been sown, and all of them are taken care of by experienced old farmers. At the same time, officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works are also recording on the spot, and everything is arranged according to His Majesty's arrangements."
