Before dawn, Guo Shao turned over and got up. Li Shanggong struggled to get up, and Guo Shao pressed her down: "You have nothing to do anyway, so you can sleep more here." Li Shanggong said: "I want to serve Your Majesty in dressing." She couldn't walk steadily when she got up, her hair was messy and her face was tired, and she was cautious but she was very slow.

Guo Shao had already put on two robes in every detail. When he saw a mirror comb in front of the table, he went over to combed his hair neatly.

A few days later, the official throne ceremony was officially launched. Although Guo Shao didn't need to worry about the formal arrangements of the ceremony itself, there were still many things to consider. He turned to Li Shanggong and said, "Then I'll leave first." He parted at dawn, and he seemed to have the illusion of love for a night.

"Your Majesty, will Your Majesty be satisfied with my service? Will you still want me..." Li Shanggong asked hurriedly.

When Guo Shao looked at her, he saw sadness on her face, expectation and even begging. This was a completely unequal relativity, not just an inequality of identity. Guo Shao developed compassion in an instant... He was really not a truly stalwart person. But he didn't have so many feelings. If he was attentive to everyone and had too much distraction, it would be a complete burden and trouble at that time.

"I'm quite satisfied." Guo Shao said gently, "But today the old people in my house are going to enter the palace. I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I have to accompany them.

Wash and have breakfast. The eunuch Yang Shiliang who came to the duty today was the eunuch Yang Shiliang, and the car was ready, so Guo Shao said to go straight to the imperial study of Jinxiang Palace. It was just bright at this time, and the light in the wide square in the morning was dim and soft, and the air was moist and cool, which really made people feel refreshed.

When we reached a hall, there were some tables and stools in front of us, with many desks piled up. There was a thin wall in the middle, and the wooden skeleton was framed with silk fabrics. There was also a curtain hanging inside the door.

Yang Shiliang said: "In the past, the Empress reviewed memorials here, but because there were foreign ministers who also worked here, they hung a curtain to cover it for etiquette. I asked someone to take it down."

Guo Shao has been here. When he was summoned by the "Empress Dowager" before, there were indeed many officials outside who would come to help with various official duties. It was still early now, and I guess he would come later.

He walked in and sat down next to a table covered with yellow tablecloths. He immediately thought that Fu Jinzhan had been sitting here for many days, but now she was not here.

Guo Shao looked around and seemed to see a graceful and beautiful figure wandering in this temporarily dim room. He felt a little sad... He was in the same palace, but he couldn't spend time together. Guo Shao closed his eyes slightly and smelled a scent of ink and a faint strange fragrance. He turned his head and looked at it and found an incense burner in the corner of the wall.

He calmed down first and saw a bunch of memorials on the imperial desk, so he flipped over and took a look.

Yang Shiliang went to serve tea in person and placed it carefully on the table without making any noise, for fear of disturbing Guo Shao.

But Guo Shao was obviously not attentive. After reading it for a while, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "What, what is written is all about, and it's nonsense, and there is no punctuation yet. After reading a memorial for a long time, he finally saw a little bit of substantial content."

But he could not completely deny the role of civil servants. If it weren't for these documents, I'm afraid the entire country would not even have basic rules and regulations. There were many rules hidden in these words... but it was too difficult to figure it out. It was similar to the use of countless modern long papers? It was just that people quoted the classics of sages at this time, and later generations would use various ideologies and spirits.

Guo Shao intuitively did not deny its orderly role, but he was really unhappy. He thought to himself: I won’t do anything else in the future, just sit here all day to think about the memorials, maybe there is not enough time. No wonder Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty later said that he only slept for one or two hours a day, and he personally reviewed the memorials very diligently, and his hair turned white at a young age; it was really troublesome to read the memorials.

Yang Shiliang stood aside, and Guo Shao turned around and said, "Today, I will take these to the Political Affairs Hall first. I will say that I have roughly seen it and let the ministers deal with it as appropriate."

Yang Shiliang hurriedly said, "Here."

The eunuch made a good arrangement and turned back. Guo Shao looked at it and found that Yang Shiliang was very strong, tall and strong. If he hadn't had a beard, he wouldn't speak and his voice was sagging, which would be different from other eunuchs.

Guo Shao said casually: "No matter what system or rule, the most important thing is people, and people are ruled."

Yang Shiliang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Guo Shao pointed to a locked door behind: "What is inside?"

Yang Shiliang said: "It's a room that stores some more important old files. When His Majesty wants to see it, you can read it."

"Open." Guo Shao ordered.

Soon, he followed Yang Shiliang into the room. There was only one door, with some wooden grids placed beside the wall, and various files were neatly placed on the grid; there was a table and a round waist stool in the middle of the room.

"This place is good." Guo Shao sat down on the stool and gestured at the position on the wall. "Put a few large pieces of white paper on it, then cut some three-finger-wide white paper over it, and take the paste and ink."

Yang Shiliang answered immediately without asking: "I'm ready right away."

So after a while, Guo Shao started the sticker again. He first divided the imperial guards into two pieces, the Palace Front Division and the Guards Horse and Bus. Then he started sticking the sticker from Li Chuyun, commander of the Palace Front Division, and the pyramids were above and below.

In addition, the list of the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall is also classified and posted; there is also the list of the Jiedushi in the Foreign Town... These are not complete, because Guo Shao himself cannot complete the specific details of the civil servants, the Jiedushi, etc.

He couldn't even remember the generals of the Imperial Army. He was familiar with the Hu Ben Army in front of the Palace, and could remember the generals above the Military Capital and the Military Commander's War; he couldn't remember the names of people at the level of the Guard Army.

Guo Shao said to Yang Shiliang again: "Let someone go to the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall to issue an imperial edict. I want the official positions and list of civil and military officials of the fifth rank or above in the country."

Not many people he could remember, but they were all people who wanted to harm power, especially those related to military force. He was originally a general. Therefore, before the list was taken, it did not affect Guo Shao's thinking.

All the civil servants who came to Shangzhi came outside. Guo Shao opened the door and could see them coming in. Most of them were unaware of people, as if they were sent by various officials such as the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council and the Hanlin Academy.

The officials were busy as soon as they arrived, sitting upright and writing calculations. Guo Shao didn't know what they were busy with, and they sent away all the memorials and didn't have to issue imperial edicts now, but those people could still be busy all the time, at least they seemed very busy.

...Before the throne ceremony, Guo Shao thought the most important thing was how to grant officials the title of officials; this is the essence, because every emperor ascended the throne, nominally made people feel that the official position was a reward from the new king. In addition, no matter what the year name and etiquette were, they were not the most important... Even the two emperors Chai Rong and Chai Zongxun did not change their year names and kept making do with the previous use; Chai Rong ascended the throne in the first year of Xiande, but Xiande was changed by Taizu, otherwise Chai Rong should have started using the new year names in the second year.

According to the rules when Chai Zongxun ascended the throne, many local governors made a change of place and a military town. The purpose may be two. The first is to test the loyalty of the local generals. Those who are willing to obey the new imperial edicts will recognize the new monarch; the second is that the new position is given by the new monarch, so they will receive the favor of the monarch in name.

Guo Shao looked at the notes on the wall and thought for a while, opened his notebook and wrote down the two most critical things.

The most important thing in the central government is to inspect the location in front of the hall, whether it is necessary to continue to be a human being; the most important thing in the local area is the handling of Li Yun, the governor of Zhaoyi Army.

The palace was inspected... Guo Shaozhen was a little hesitant. In history, Zhao Kuangyin was usurped the throne when he was in this position and he ascended the throne. In the era when martial artists were rampant, the palace was inspected only one step away from the throne!

Of course, this last step is difficult. If Chai Rong did not die of illness, the one who stayed in the imperial city would not be a child. Whether Zhao Kuangyin or Guo Shao, if he worked for another 10 or 20 years, he would not dare to take the last step, nor would he have the chance to be full of wings.

(The position that the Palace Front Inspection Office did not have a few years ago was established in recent years. The most senior military general in the past was the commander of the guards' horse and buzzing commander; Chai Rong rectified the front and rear of the palace, and the status and importance of the Palace Front Inspection Office exceeded that of the Guards' Horse and buzzing commander.)

But on the other hand, Li Chuyun and others have made contributions to support and also made military achievements on the battlefield. If they do not take another step, the position of the front of the palace will be cancelled. One way is that the emperor is stingy, and the other way is that it will make them feel that the emperor is suspicious and vigilant... Guo Shao is of course vigilant, but he does not want to show it. It is not necessary to grant titles to the generals of the Imperial Guard, because there has never been an imperial guard general who has been granted the title of king and marquis. Giving them the title of king and marquis would have to leave the position of imperial guards; now Guo Shao has not planned to stop the war and does not want to release some direct generals who can fight but are more loyal.

Guo Shao reached out and rubbed his forehead for a long time.

I also thought: In fact, even if I don’t set up a check-in in front of the hall, I have already claimed to be the emperor and left the Hall Front Office. The highest military general in front of the hall is the commander. It’s just that my status is different, and my power and position are almost the same.

Guo Shao pondered for a long time and wrote on paper. Li Chuyun, deputy director of the palace inspector Shi Yanchao, and Yang Biao, commander of the palace in front of the palace... After writing, he repeatedly weighed and thought about it. Sometimes his thinking was very divergent, and he guessed all kinds of speculations in his mind, guessed the mentality and motivations of the generals, and thought about the resources they could use, the risks they would face when making choices, etc.

Maybe others are also guessing themselves like this?

Guo Shao decided on this matter for the time being and wrote Li Yun's name on it. This guy is also difficult to deal with. He must look a few steps back and prepare for how to deal with it in advance.

Guo Shao wanted the ministers to write a letter to talk about their opinions and considerations, so he could refer to it himself, but he thought of the dense and unpunctuated written words, and thought to himself: I still met, and it is easier to communicate directly.
