Wang Pu mentioned that the year name was inappropriate, and he said one temporarily, but Guo Shao felt it was so literary that it was difficult to understand. Wang Pu said: "Recently, an official wrote a letter to this matter, and the official can choose a suitable year name." Guo Shao looked at the imperial case and another stack of memorials... But he didn't read it, and he didn't even read it yesterday.

No one raised objections to the title of "Empress Dowager". Everyone did not seem to think that the name was vulgar and they only considered whether it was appropriate... But Guo Shao also understood that with his literary level, the name he thought of temporarily slapped his head was not so good.

After a while of discussion, Guo Shao asked Prime Minister Wang Pu to sort out a list of the official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible, requiring all the official offices, the names of officials and what they do.

...The ministers left the Jinxiang Hall. Guo Shao sat in front of the imperial case and looked at the memorials in front of him, which were filled with dense words without punctuation. In the back room behind him, there were many names of people he posted and files of those people. Moreover, the throne ceremony was about to come, and many things had to be decided within a deadline.

He had been in ancient times for several years and could understand written articles, which only took time and patience. But Guo Shao could not do this with his own intuition.

He sat withered for about a moment, thinking about some things in his mind... Emperor Chongzhen, the king of the Ming Dynasty, faced a mess that was difficult to clean up. He was very diligent, but he had to supervise everything himself and carefully. No matter how busy he was, he could not do much. Another way of doing things was the opposite of the Ming Dynasty emperor was Jiajing. This man spent a lot of time practicing Taoism and women, but played the officials all around. Emperor Jiajing could control people, but could not control the details of imperial affairs in detail, and laid the root of disaster for the party struggles. The state's operating conditions in his hands could not be considered good.

Guo Shao's thinking habits in his previous life still thinks that he should control a huge object from the details, because anything is composed of the relationship between particles. Many people who are diligent but weak are the problem of not planning, organization, severity, and methods.

It’s like every time Guo Shao does big things, he is very organized in his irrelevant life. Because he understands that people have limited psychological stress and are very susceptible to emotions. For example, an angry person is prone to saying the wrong things and doing the wrong things.

"Come." Guo Shao raised his head and shouted.

The eunuch Yang Shiliang immediately walked up and bowed and said, "Please give me instructions."

Guo Shao said: "Send someone immediately, I want to summon Zuo You and Huang Binglian."

Yang Shiliang immediately agreed to go out.

Zuo You is in Taichang Temple, and Huang Binglian is in Kaifeng Prefecture outside the imperial city. Even if they are rushing to enter the palace, it will take a long time. Guo Shao completely ignored the memorials on the imperial case, took out his booklet, and began to sort out and record recent events.

He wrote two copies, and listed two tables according to the urgency of time and the importance of things. Then he conducted a comprehensive analysis and compared the two tables, he re-listed a comprehensive order of front and back... But things cannot be rigidly followed by front and back order. Perhaps sometimes the opportunity is appropriate, and it can be carried out at the same time. Order in chaos is the way to be flexible. So Guo Shao wrote these things into notes and posted them on the wall of the back room in disorder.

After doing these things, he felt calm. Because he didn't have to make himself so tired, he could do a good job. For example, there was a one in these notes: Second sister and others are about to give birth, preparing gifts for their children... Guo Shao is in a very good mood now because he thinks that if a person who does big things can take good care of his family at the same time, he must be a confident and calm person.

At this moment, Guo Shao was waiting for the summoned person, but he didn't want to read the memorial. After being a little distracted, something very trivial appeared in his mind.

He remembered his grandfather when he was a child, the person who loved him the most in his childhood. Perhaps when he was born, people favored boys over girls, and the uncles and aunts at home gave birth to daughters. His mother gave birth to a son, so grandfather loved him very much. Grandpa's love was just an abstract concept... What he could remember was that grandfather weaved a lot of small toys at that time; for example, there was one very strange thing among them. The spring gun made of bamboo tubes and bamboo strips, elastic bamboo strips could knock out the small stones in the bamboo tubes, like guns, which were quite fun.

Guo Shao thought a lot in a daze, and the long and recent ones were all trivial impressions.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yang Shiliang’s sharp voice interrupted Guo Shao’s daydream. Yang Shiliang said: “Report to Your Majesty, Zuo You and Huang Binglian to meet him.”

"Call them in." Guo Shao said.

After a while, the two of them bowed outside and said, "I am Zuo You...I am Huang Binglian, who bowed to Your Majesty."

Yang Shiliang said: "The official family asked you to come into the house and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Shao looked at them and they were all people they knew long ago. Zuo You was younger and thinner, and his expression was relatively calm. Huang Binglian was a middle-aged man with vertical lines between his eyebrows. Guo Shao said, "Your official position remains unchanged for the time being, but it turns out that the affairs of the yamen can be put down. I will give you new errands and do it for a while."

Zuo You didn't seem very nervous. He was familiar with Guo Shao, "Please give instructions from the officials."

Guo Shao said: "Some memorials here will be sent every day. You will be at Jinxiang Hall for a while in the future and help me read the memorials. This job...you have to be divided into three steps: first, group the memorials of the day, such as the morning of March 27, first and second, you can also find a few clerks to help with this kind of thing; second, according to the number, summarize the content, a title and a paragraph, be concise and straightforward, for example, someone praises me in the memorial, you only need to summarize the content, which is two words to praise me or praise me..."

Zuo You couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and Huang Binglian glanced at him slightly.

Guo Shao didn't care, and smiled, and said, "You can't be careless about this matter. The memorial is about national affairs. You must be serious. I may check from time to time what you wrote and compare it with the original. If you find any problem, you will be dereliction of duty. You must also be meticulous. There are some clichés inside, which may hide some rules and hints. You have to write them out... Of course, I will keep these things secretly and will not let foreign ministers see them easily."

Guo Shao said again: "Finally, you have to select the most important ones and put forward opinions on the matters later. I will adopt them as appropriate."

Zuo You pondered for a moment and said softly: "Isn't this the Prime Minister's business? We both took over the Prime Minister's business. Will the people in the Political Affairs Hall have any explanation?"

Guo Shao shook his head and said, "The responsibilities of the prime ministers do not conflict with the responsibilities. Of course, the prime ministers will make suggestions and participate in decision-making, and also implement these decisions, and also have the power to help the court recommend talents; and you are the assistant emperors, and you do things like secretary and consultant... As a result, I should have done most of these things. Now if you help me, can I be lazy?"

Zuo You suddenly laughed, and even Huang Binglian laughed for a while. Guo Shao smiled and read the operation of the memorial again: first it was collected through the provincial eunuchs and sent to the imperial case; then Zuo You and others helped Guo Shao to see it, so he could easily understand it; then he sent it to the Political Affairs Hall and let the Prime Minister give his handling opinions; Guo Shao made a decision according to the suggestions of Zuo You and others in the Imperial Study Room, and the Prime Ministers made decisions... Of course, according to the procedures, if the emperor's decision was really inappropriate, the Political Affairs Hall would be sent back and let the emperor give a decision to re-issue.

Guo Shao's method was to think about the system of the Ming Dynasty cabinet and the Lijian Supervisor, but he still held the power to criticize the winners, after all, the current new rules have not been improved.

"I would like to thank the official for his trust." Zuo You and Huang Binglian worshiped.

Guo Shao knew that they were sincere. Compared to working in Taichang Temple or working as a prosecutor in Kaifeng Prefecture (Huang Binglian), they are now in contact with the most core power decision-making part of the country... As Zuo You said, they are doing the work of the prime minister. Can anyone with some ambitions be unhappy at this time?

Guo Shao pointed to the memorial on the table and said, "Let's start today."

...The sound of bells and drums at the hour of You echoed between the vast palace temples, and the officials in the imperial study came forward to thank him. Guo Shao also packed up his things and was about to leave.

He left Jinxiang Hall and took a bus to Zide Hall... Fu Ermei lived there, and could talk, eat, and care for her. Moreover, Fu Jinzhan was her sister and was also taking care of her. While Guo Shao accompanied her, he could also meet Jinzhan... Although he was in the palace, he could only see her at this time.

The Zide Hall is usually lived by a palace ladies, and it is also a magnificent building complex. However, compared with the Jinxiang Hall, the Wansui Hall only focuses on righteousness and momentum, which is slightly richer and more exquisite. The dining room for dining is in the attic on the west side. The main hall is wide and gorgeous, but there is also an open hall for drinking tea next to it... In Guo Shao's view, it is like a large balcony with pillars.

So after the three of them finished their meal together, they moved to the open hall to have tea. Guo Shao said some concerns. Fu Jinzhan said, "Mrs. Li (Yuan'er) should also come to the palace and let her live in Zide Hall."

Guo Shao looked at Fu Ermei's belly and said, "Yuan'er and Ermei are about the same time, so I'm afraid the car will be bumpy."

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said, "I used to be a big sedan chair. I sent it to pick her up, so I could carry it with someone."

"The emperor's sister-in-law is so kind, Yuan'er has to thank you." Guo Shao smiled. He pondered for a moment, "There are some trivial matters in the morning, and I want to talk to the emperor's sister-in-law..."

The jinzhan looked slightly sideways, and the eunuchs and palace maids around him retreated.
