Thinking about it, it may be due to the spring color of the night with the emperor when she first returned to the palace, that night was extremely gentle, and the two of them released their previous suspicions, and really enjoyed the rare joy of fish and water. She was already relieved about Xia Concubine's matter, after all, it was just a conspiracy of others, and there was no mustard between the two, and it was impossible for this child not to be born

It's just that she was pregnant at this time, she had just come out of the palace, and she really didn't want to go back so soon. Fortunately, this child is only two months old, and he can hide it for a while, so he can only look at it first.

On the second day, the emperor decreed that Guo Wenying should be appointed as the secretary of the ministry, which was already paving the way for her to enter the cabinet. Lu Junqing also joined the cabinet from the ministry, but he became a minister not long after he entered the cabinet. In the past, often the officials and scholars had to enter the cabinet eventually, which was also to better participate in politics and assist the emperor.

Guo Wenying used to be a third-grade household servant, and a second-grade governor, and this time he was a second-grade minister, and this time he was a secretary of the same second-grade department. After the decree was issued, even if some people raised objections, it did not make much splash. On the one hand, Lu Qifang supported her, and on the other hand, because she was the biological mother of the crown prince, who would dare to offend the future emperor's mother? Not to mention that she was still the emperor's beloved.

Originally, everyone thought that the queen would fall out of favor if she was deposed, but now it seems that it is just a game played by others. The husband and wife feel that being husband and wife is boring, and they have changed to being monarchs and ministers, can you manage it?

Maybe this is the fun of getting along with husband and wife.

Everyone thought about it and felt relieved. It's just that Yuan Yibo knew about it, and he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart, and it was easy to get Guo Wenying out of the palace, and in a blink of an eye, he became a secretary of the ministry. He also knew in his heart that directly facing Guo Wenying was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, this woman was too strong, no matter how scheming or powerful, her position of power could not be shaken casually.

Not to mention that the emperor protects her, even if the emperor personally wants to deal with Guo Wenying, he may not be able to do it. This woman has become the climate.

He suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart, he had planned for so long, and he couldn't take revenge after all?

His son died in the hands of Guo Wenying, that was his only son, Guo Wenying killed courtiers in the southwest, and his son was just a new county magistrate, so he was innocently killed by her. He has endured it for so long, step by step to the present, encircled many officials, and tried every possible way to find evidence of their various mistakes, so that today's situation has been achieved.

In this world, it is not only interests that can make people obedient, but also handles, he spent several years collecting evidence and found the handles of many courtiers, and they had to listen to him. But even so, it is still difficult to bring down Guo Wenying.

also blamed him, he didn't look at Xia Concubine's little slut and let her get pregnant with a mongrel, otherwise if this is really a dragon fetus, there will be a chance to fight with her.

He felt sorry for himself here, and Guo Wenying was already wearing an official uniform and taking up his post in the ministry.

Early in the morning, officials at all levels of the Ministry of Officials were waiting at the entrance of the Yamen to greet Xin Shangshu, who would have thought that the little patrol who came to the Ministry of Officials a few days ago to receive the official uniform would become their top boss in a blink of an eye?

Thinking that the boss was a woman, the expressions on most of the people's faces were very strange, and seeing the appropriate expression on the face of Zhang Mingchang, the servant of the ministry, someone whispered: "My lord, this woman is in charge of us, don't you feel sad at all?"

Zhang Ming glanced at him, "This woman can give birth to children, why can't she lead the ministry?"

The man looked dumbfounded, "Is there a relationship between this?"

Guo Wenying came quickly, and saw the sedan chair coming from a distance, Zhang Mingchang didn't bother to pay attention to them, and hurriedly got up to greet them.

With Guo Wenying's temper, there will be such a good life for these people in the future, and if they dare to have objections today, they will ask them to swallow it themselves sooner or later.

Since the new official took office, the three fires after Guo Wenying took office are also hot. She has long been unpleasant to the court officials, many court officials take the court but do not do personnel, officials are corrupt, usually corrupt and bribe-taking, bending the law for personal gain, not to mention, even some of the more law-abiding people are also drinking and slacking off, late to leave early, in the afternoon many officials are not seen, teahouses, restaurants, brothels, casinos, all kinds of entertainment venues can be found.

There is also the assessment system, which is inspected once every six years by Beijing officials, which is called "Beijing Inspection", and inspected by local officials once every three years, which is called "Great Plan". At present, however, the government officials are corrupt and laws and regulations are abolished, and these evaluation systems are mere formalities and cannot play the role of supervising and deterring officials.

The existing appraisal system is a large network of monitoring officials from the completion of the examination and the inspection, and a multi-level and multi-channel inspection structure is formed on the basis of the close integration of supervision and assessment. However, in stark contrast to the unusually strict and complicated assessment procedures, the Ming Dynasty never formulated the assessment standards and content as clear and systematic as the "Four Virtues and Twenty-seven Best" in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the first thing Guo Wenying did when she took office was to put forward the latest assessment system, and she played to the emperor and proposed: "There is an examination in the month, and there is a record in the year, so that the voice must be true, and the matter can be obliged." ”

Later, this sentence became a well-known official evaluation system in the history of Nanqi - the examination method. There are similarities between the examination method and the performance appraisal system of later generations.

In fact, to sum it up simply, it is as follows: At the beginning of the year, officials at all levels set deadlines for what they want to do, and register them in the account books, and the higher-level departments send a copy and keep a copy for themselves. Inspections are carried out month-by-month and inspections at the end of the year, and if they are not completed or not truthfully declared, then they are waiting to be punished or convicted.

For example, a prefect should list the work that needs to be completed at the beginning of the year, register it, keep a copy for himself, and submit a copy there, and check it at the end of the year. If you still haven't finished it when you get to the county, then continue to be downgraded until you are relegated to the big head of the common people. The examination method has a wide range of applications, from the six central departments to the remote mountainous areas, all of them are handled according to this law, and no one wants to escape.

As soon as the examination law came out, it caused an uproar in the imperial court, and Lu Qifang took the lead in supporting it, and passed it through the cabinet meeting, proposing to implement it nationwide. Feng Jingting also agreed with this very much, Guo Wenying had mentioned this matter to him in the past, but in the end he did not put forward a detailed charter. However, in the past two years, Guo Wenying has been studying the assessment system, and has also drafted a detailed charter, but it was poured out at one time through this opportunity.

In less than a year after the implementation of the examination law, a total of 237 unfinished cases of officials below the level of Fu Zhu were found in various provinces, and 54 ministers were found to be Fu Zhu. Among them, Fengyang Governor Wang Zong bathed and patrolled Zhang Genghua, Guangdong Governor Zhang Shouyu, and Zhejiang Governor Xiao Li, who was fined and suspended for three months because of too many unfinished things, that is, three months of suspension of wages.
