Tong Guan found himself bored and cursed Guan Ning in his heart. At this moment, his eyes lit up again and he saw the Minister of the Ministry of Industry coming over with his left and right ministers.

Because the establishment of the new army involves weapons and equipment, they need to be built under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

"Lord Guan, what did you get?"

Tong Guan came over and saw Guanqiu and three others carrying a box each.

"nothing."

Guanqiu responded casually. He didn't have a good impression of the newly appointed Right Minister of the Ministry of War. He had some abilities, but his best specialty was speculation...

"I heard that Guan Ning went to the Ministry of Industry and said he wanted to improve horse gear. I wonder if there has been any progress?"

He still asked about this matter, just to ridicule Guan Ning.

Guanqiu Xian glanced at him and said calmly: "There is no progress."

In fact, it's all done, and it's in the wooden box held by the three of them.

He said this deliberately so that he could see how embarrassed this Tong Guan would be during the review later.

The right servant Wang Ducheng and the left servant Ao Guangliang looked at each other and smiled at each other.

It's rare for an adult to have such fun.

Of course Guan Ning also understood that this was what they had agreed upon in advance and would only be announced during the review.

"Haha, I knew that was the case."

Tong Guan didn't know that he was being teased, and said with a smile: "You are really overestimating your own capabilities. You dare to talk so brazenly about improving horse gear. I'm really laughing at you."

"Idiot!"

Guan Ning looked at him and uttered two words coldly.

Jumping up and down, he looked like a clown.

"you……"

Tong Guan looked angry. He knew that Guan Ning must be scolding him, but he didn't know what he meant.

It's very uncomfortable.

Preparing to fight back.

Lu Zhaoling said calmly: "Stop talking, the palace door is open."

It was an obvious bias, but Tong Guan didn't dare to say more, and he still didn't dare to offend the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"We'll see how you end up later."

He looked at Guan Ning coldly and cursed secretly in his heart.

If Guan Ning fails the assessment, then the possibility of succeeding as King of Zhenbei will be completely eliminated. Without this status, it will be effortless to clean up...

The palace door opens.

A group of people walked in.

Guan Ning has been following Lu Zhaoling.

"Master Zhang, don't you want to come?"

he asked curiously.

Mr. Zhang is Zhang Zheng, the Minister of Punishment.

"Your assessment has nothing to do with the Ministry of Punishment. Besides, I'm afraid he won't care about it."

"Is something going on?"

"Six mummies were unearthed by digging a ditch in the north of the city. A big case has arisen, and it was the Superintendent's Department who was in charge."

"North of the city?"

Guan Ning frowned,

He has also seen the construction scene. He has been busy with the Ministry of War these days, so he really doesn't know.

"Ask you something."

Lu Zhaoling whispered: "Are you sure you can pass the cabinet review? If you can pass it, the next stop will be for you to go to the Ministry of Personnel and I will give you a distinction."

"Um?"

Guan Ning looked at Lu Zhaoling in surprise. Although he had a good relationship with the Lu family, he never mentioned it. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaoling took the initiative to speak.

"You have got the three most difficult ones in the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of War. You still have a good chance. You can try for it."

Lu Zhaoling whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so I can still help you with this."

Guan Ning was overjoyed.

Of course he would not refuse such an opportunity.

"Then Master Lu, just wait and help."

"It seems you are very confident."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Guan Ning in surprise.

"Just wait and see the show, there will be surprises."

Guan Ning knew that by taking advantage of the opportunity to improve the harness, Guanqiu would also help him get an honors from the Ministry of Industry.

"Then we'll see."

Lu Zhaoling feels like she can't see through Guan Ning now...

Everyone has different thoughts.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, we arrived at a palace. The hall was very large and the decoration was calm and grand.

When Guan Ning arrived, there were already several people present, including five princes and several unfamiliar faces.

There are seven cabinet officials.

The three ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War have all been appointed as cabinet ministers. There are also four others. The chief minister is old and basically has no interest in government affairs. He rarely shows up and is not here today.

The first person in the queue is Xue Huairen, the second assistant.

The person at the bottom is an old man in his sixties, but he has the look of a child with white hair, a ruddy complexion, and a very good complexion. Sitting upright, he carries a lot of power.

He is the cabinet minister, Pei Guogong Zheng Yi, and he is an orthodox aristocratic family.

There is another person, a middle-aged man. He is the youngest among the cabinet officials. He should be less than fifty years old. He has an elegant face and a strong Confucianism. He is a diligent scholar.

His name is Li Xiu, and he is also Li Shulan's father.

Guan Ning took a quick look and mentally identified everyone.

Except for the chief assistant, everyone else came.

This is the real center of power of the Dakang Dynasty.

He noted that the composition of the cabinet officials was also very interesting, as they all reflected balance.

Xue Huairen is the leader of the Snow Party.

Pei Guogong represents the aristocratic family.

Then Li Xiu should be recommended by Confucianism.

Maintaining balance also constitutes a restriction.

This also shows the mastery of Emperor Longjing's imperial power.

However, due to the remnants of the deposed emperor, subtle changes occurred.

Duke Duan An of the State of E was appointed Minister of War, and there were two nobles from aristocratic families among the cabinet officials, which was on par with the Snow Party...

Guan Ning thought and walked over proudly. Even in the face of this situation, he still did not show any timidity...

The scene was solemn and everyone had straight faces.

Because behind the east curtain, there is another person listening, he is Emperor Long Jing!

Everyone takes their place.

After a while, Feng Yuan, the chief eunuch, came out and said in a high-pitched voice: "The deliberation has begun. Others will ask questions, and Tong Guan and Guan Ning will answer them."

Guan Ning and Tong Guan stepped forward to the center.

The cabinet deliberates on major matters in this way, which is also known as intra-Korean deliberation.

Feng Yuan stood aside.

When the deliberation begins, participating officials can ask any targeted questions.

Xue Huairen was the first to speak. He was the chief minister of the cabinet and should ask first.

"The Anbei Army is newly established, what is its size?"

He asked the first question, which was also the first thing to determine.
To be continued...
