The officials were dumbfounded by the emperor's statement.

I didn't expect that the road built by the emperor would still have this meaning waiting for everyone inside!

However, confusion is confusion, surprise is surprise, and today's majesty is not comparable to the emperor of the former Han Dynasty, this is the consensus of everyone.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Peng has transmitted many signals, and the trend of centralization is very obvious.

For example, Guo Peng does not establish the three princes of real power.

There is only one mascot Cai Yong on the three princes of the Wei Empire.

Cai Yong himself has no other assignments except for Dr. Taixue's sacrificial wine, and he is not responsible for administrative issues, but he is only pampered, so the right to summon has nowhere to be used.

And according to the tacit understanding between Cai Yong and Guo Peng, it is estimated that without Guo Peng's approval, Cai Yong will not use his right to summon until he dies.

Cai Yong doesn't need it, of course, no one else will use it, and even whether Guo Peng will set up three dukes after Cai Yong is not certain, according to Guo Peng's desire for power, the ministers have reason to suspect that Guo Peng will do this.

And this is equivalent to nominally having this power, but no one at the central government can use it.

The only members of the Central Committee of the Eastern Han Dynasty who could use the power of recalling were the Three Dukes and the Kaifu General.

Guo Peng will also use various cover-up methods to deceive everyone to the three dukes, and he will be very rude to the army.

Relying on his strong control over the army, he directly took away the power of the heavy general to open the government by dividing military ranks and positions, and the possibility of the birth of a warlord was extinguished from the source.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Wei Empire, the right to recall central officials was in name only, and the heavy number general directly lost the right to summon, and the right to recall local officials was also greatly weakened.

After a set of combined fists, since the founding of the Wei Empire, the way in which senior bureaucrats obtained the group of "former officials" has been greatly restricted by the imperial power, and the imperial power has been pressed on their heads all the time.

Many officials have found it more and more difficult for them to obtain the old officials who live and die together, and it is becoming more and more difficult to operate, and in many cases there is no room for manipulation at all.

Guo Peng has not had the energy to start with the rules of "protégé" for the time being, but he has begun to deal with the existence of "old officials".

He openly and secretly suppressed this kind of power, which made some officials who wanted to retake the road of the Eastern Han Dynasty very uncomfortable, and they could not go on at all.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholars and bureaucrats who enjoyed various political preferential treatment felt very unhappy and unsmooth in the face of the suppression of Wei Tianzi's imperial power.

They had quite a few opinions about Wei Tianzi's centralization of power.

Of course, they have opposed and fought for it, but they failed under the strong demands of someone Guo.

And Guo did not do things perfectly.

In the two years after the founding of the Wei Empire, filial piety and honesty were still the main way to select talents, and the ceremony was only held once, which felt like it was just a whim of Guo Peng, not the norm.

For example, that is the power of the state and county, Guo Peng did not intervene, everything was in accordance with the old system of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But whether to accept or appoint, that is the power of Guo Peng to lead the examination institute established by the central government.

And this is also the creation of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After Zuo Xiong, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, realized the disadvantages of raising filial piety and honesty and Maocai, he created the rules of the re-examination of the public government.

After Guo Peng founded the country, he admired Zuo Xiong's courage, inherited this set of rules, and set up a more perfect examination institute.

Those filial piety and honesty talents raised by the state and county must pass more rigorous and intensive examinations before they can be awarded positions.

In this way, to a certain extent, the nepotism of officials brought about by filial piety and honesty has also been greatly curbed by the unspoken rule of officialdom of dual monarchy.

However, Guo could take advantage of this convenience to directly appoint many officials he liked, so that he could avoid the call of high-ranking bureaucrats and become direct subordinates of the emperor, so as to continuously expand the imperial power.

The emperor is moving more and more towards the path of the sole monarch, while the other "double monarchs" are quite lost and dissatisfied.

This situation aroused the concern of many scholars and bureaucrats, who were uneasy about such a reality, and often gathered in private to discuss this matter, feeling that the Son of Heaven was not doing things properly.

It's not as good as Emperor Han!

In fact, Guo didn't plan to hide it.

He is clearly telling everyone that the emperor is going to take power, suppress the localities, and re-demonstrate the centralization of power, and will not easily give so many cheap powers to the localities.

Liu Xiu gave it, and Guo wanted to take it back.

Liu Xiu has no choice, relying on the powerful landlord to take the position, can it be done without compromise?

But Guo relied on himself, not a powerful landlord, and even at the beginning he didn't get much support from scholars, his upper position had a sufficient local foundation, and no one could threaten him.

This is the consensus of everyone.

Some people are dissatisfied, many people are dissatisfied, but no one dares to speak out against it.

Guo is an emperor with a lot of power and even greater prestige.

Despite this, the imperial power that Guo Peng can regain is not all.

There is a part of it that is limited by the times, and he really has no way to take it back, unless he can make a train and make a telegraph or something, otherwise he can't take back this part of the imperial power.

It takes time for traffic and the times to reverse, and it takes time.

He did his best to regain the imperial power that should have belonged to him as long as he could, relying on a well-developed transportation network to carry forward the essence of centralized power.

However, he cannot ignore the subjective initiative of the locality, nor can he completely suppress it, and there is no way to completely suppress it.

Each place has its own characteristics, and it is impossible for the central government to fully intervene.

But for Liaodong, a poor and white vacuum, it is not difficult for him to fully control it.

It is very simple to appoint Lu Su as the assassin, and he also plans to release a group of capable officials in the cabinet and send them to Liaodong as a county commander, to accumulate political experience, and to fight monsters and upgrade.

Everything is planned.

Lu Su obviously understood Guo Peng's work style, so after a short period of joy about Guo Peng's appointment, he immediately asked.

"Is there anything Your Majesty needs to do with your ministers?"

Hey, that's right.

Guo Peng likes this kind of obedient person, and such a person is safe enough to put in the place.

Smiling, Guo Peng held Lu Su's hand and paced slowly in the study.

"There are a lot of things that you have to do, and in a poor and white place, you have to build it up, plan the counties and villages, arrange for officials at all levels, restore production, and lighten the burden on the army stationed there.

After that, the army will also launch a war against Buyeo and Goguryeo, you have to prepare logistics for General Yu Ban, and fully support General Yu Ban to attack Goguryi and Buyeo, this is not a simple matter, but I believe you can do it. ”

"The minister will do his best."

Lu Su nodded repeatedly.

"There's another very important thing."

Guo Peng said: "Before, Liaodong has been providing medicinal materials and livestock for the Central Plains, and Gongsun Du is also vigorously developing medicinal herb cultivation and livestock domestication in Liaodong, which is very meaningful to the Central Plains, especially for the army, and I think it is okay to continue this for a long time."

Therefore, after you take office, you should also focus on building Liaodong into a place for the supply of medicinal materials and meat, just like some places in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou specialize in planting vegetables, fruits and other non-food crops, medicinal materials also need to be planted in special places, don't worry about food shortages, Qingzhou and Jizhou will supply grain to Pingzhou at any time. ”

"Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands."

Lu Su opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty's explanation, the minister will definitely handle it, and will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." ”

"I believe that Zijing will not let me down."

Guo Peng held Lu Su's hand, stroked his back, and slowly sent him out of the palace gate, while sending him, he also told him some other things.

"Liaodong bitter cold, you grew up in Xuzhou like a land of fish and rice, there are many places that are not suitable for, you have to wear more clothes, don't let your body catch a cold, do more exercise, run and jump in your spare time, practice swords, riding and shooting, in short, the most important thing is the ...... of the body"

While walking, he instructed this kind of short thing in the parents, which made Lu Su feel extremely warm, and there was warmth flowing in his heart.

Walking to the gate of the palace, Guo Peng also asked Su Yuan to give Lu Su the mink fur he wore in winter.

"You are far away in Liaodong, I really can't rest assured, I often wear this mink fur, it's very warm, I'll give it to you, don't catch a cold in winter."

Lu Su suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the ground to thank Guo Peng for his kindness.
