Guo Xing said, "Father, rest assured, the child will not let you down" Guo Wei nodded, and got off the altar, and when Guo Wei went down, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys who watched the ceremony knelt on the ground and shouted long live to Guo Xing, who was still standing on the altar, and set the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers.

Guo Xing began to read the sacrificial text, announcing that God had taken over the emperor's throne, after all the procedures were completed, everyone returned to the Jinluan Palace, Guo Xing climbed the steps and sat on the emperor's special dragon chair, and the civil and military officials knelt down again to worship the emperor and shouted long live, Guo Xing looked at the ministers who knelt down below, and a pride came up in his chest, "Zhongqing is flat."

Zhongwenwu is to get up and stand on both sides, Guo Xing nodded at Wang Tao, Wang Tao held the holy decree is read out loudly, the important thing is to change the yuan, not to mention this year, change the yuan and xingwu from next year, and next year's title is the first year of xingwu.

Respect Guo Wei as the emperor, the queen as the Empress Dowager Ci'an, Concubine De as the Queen Mother, Hu Fei as the queen, the second brother Guo Jun, the third brother Guo Zhong, the thirteenth brother Guo Zhi, the sixteenth brother Guo Xin, all of them were sealed, and finally amnesty to the world, etc., in accordance with the established regulations of the imperial court, and finally the banquet of the ministers, and the evening is to stay in the palace.

After Guo Xing ascended the throne, a month has passed, this month is calm, the changes expected by the ministers have not appeared, everything is going on with the previous rules, everyone can't touch the temperament of the new emperor, this month Guo Xing is not idle, but followed the emperor to carry out this handover, Guo Wei handed over the secret guard to Guo Xing's hands, Guo Xing is also understanding the organizational structure of the secret guard, and the staffing.

This month's time is basically the completion of the handover, the original dark one continues to protect the old emperor Guo Wei, and the current person in charge is the dark three, and the dark two died while protecting the prince.

After Guo Xing took over in an all-round way, he found that the strength of the dark guard was very strong, there were dozens of grandmasters, and the rest were at the level of martial artists.

It turns out that the rules of the secret guards are that in addition to death, there is no such thing as retirement, and now the regulations set by Guo Xing provide a formal exit mechanism for the secret guards, when you have established enough meritorious service, you can apply for retirement, of course, live in the designated place, of course, the secret guards are grateful to Dade, after you quit, you must keep the past secret, if you find out, you will be hunted to death.

This year's year-end banquet is a big feast, and officials in Beijing and governors and governors abroad have also been ordered to participate, even some remote royal family members have to participate, why let the side royal family participate.

Guo Xing and Guo Wei discussed, after more than 100 years of development in the Great Jin Dynasty, the imperial family has more than 200 people at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China and more than 26,000 people now, all of which are supported by the state, which is not obvious now, but it is definitely a big burden in the future, and it can only be changed by changing the system and giving the royal family a way out.

Therefore, Guo Xing referred to some methods of the earth in his previous life, and proposed the method of downgrading the title from generation to generation to change, and the royal family personnel can participate in the imperial examination and the martial arts examination to become officials, and they can also do business, etc., in a word, the country does not raise waste, and the resistance is not small, but Guo Xing decided to carry it out, of course, it will not be now, after the cabinet ministers are fully equipped, it will be carried out at the right time.

This year's banquet is still presided over by the third master Guo Zhong, the third master is now completely shaken, his own brother is the emperor, and the mother concubine is the queen mother, who dares to provoke, so when Guo Xing recruited the third master into the palace and said that he hoped that the third master would continue to be responsible for the year-end banquet this year, the third master agreed at that time.

This year is a big feast, and there are many people who participate, and the ministers all want their children to show their faces in front of the new emperor and the old emperor. This year's reward is also very large, Guo Xing decreed, this year's top ten are all awarded official positions, sent to the army to experience, because Guo Xing intends to carry out the reform of the army, this is not a secret, everyone knows, so each family is also full of strength to carry out, this year's banquet competition is estimated to be more dark horses.

After arranging the big banquet, Guo Xing summoned two cabinet elders in the Yuanji Hall to discuss the candidates for the other three pavilion elders, Yang He, the first auxiliary minister, and Zhang Yanyu, the cabinet minister, rushed to the Yuanji Hall after receiving the summons, and after Guo Xing saw the ceremony, Guo Xing was given a seat, and everyone sat down.

The old chief assistant Yang He and Zhang Yanyu looked at each other and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the matter of summoning the old ministers to come today?"

Guo Xing still said to Yang He very respectfully, "Boss, please come over today, mainly to discuss the candidates for the three vacancies in the cabinet, it will be the first year of Xingwu after the year, and the cabinet should also be fully equipped, I want to listen to the opinions of the two bosses."

As soon as Yang He and Zhang Yanyu heard it, they knew in their hearts, although everyone did not propose the matter of the ministers, but the candidates for the ministers have been being discussed, and now it is time to discuss, and they are very pleased that Guo Xing can ask for his own opinions in advance, which shows that the new emperor still respects himself, and does not marginalize and abandon him because he is an old minister of the previous dynasty, so Yang He and Zhang Yanyu have a good sense of identity with Guo Xing in their hearts.

Yang He is the first assistant, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, does Your Majesty have any thoughts on the selection of cabinet ministers", this is something that must be asked clearly, after all, the main responsibility of cabinet ministers is to assist the emperor in handling state affairs, so the emperor's opinion is very important.

Guo Xing thought for a while and said, "Among the three candidates for this vacancy, I plan to let the military generals occupy a position, the candidate is Hu Lao Guogong, after Hu Laoguo Gong enters the cabinet, he will no longer serve as the commander of Gyeonggi, and the vacated Gyeonggi leader position will be taken over by Zhou Tai, the grandson of Lao Lu Guogong, you see."

Yang He and Zhang Yanyu summed it up and agreed, Hu Laoguo Gong is the queen's grandfather, and it is indeed not suitable to serve as the commander of Gyeonggi, after all, the commander of Gyeonggi is in charge of the army of 80,000 in Beijing, and controls the gate of Jingshi, and the person in charge must be a person who is reassured by the emperor, and the other is that relatives are not allowed to hold real power, which is the ancestral system.

Zhou Tai followed the new emperor to the death in the grassland, and being responsible for the safety of Gyeonggi could indeed reassure the emperor, so both of them nodded, which can be regarded as the transfer of these two positions.

Guo Xing was also very happy to see that the two passed, so he said, "There are still two places, and the two bosses have suitable candidates to put forward, let's take a closer look today."

The two of them are also very happy in their hearts, it is very good to be able to give two nominations, which is also related to the fact that Guo Xing has no available people in his hands, Yang He thought about it and said: "The minister recommended Yao Chong, the secretary of the household department, and Chen Ping, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Yao Chong is the champion of Longshuo for 20 years, Hanlin was born in Yuzhou, the governor of Yuzhou, the secretary of the household department, the ability and qualifications are impeccable, Chen Ping is the twenty years of Longshuo Tanhua, Hanlin was born, successively served as the secretary of Dali Temple, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, the official is honest, upright, and has a high reputation among the people."

Yang He proposed two candidates, Zhang Yanyu's heart was not very comfortable, and said that the emperor said that we can all propose candidates, what does it mean that you put forward two candidates at once, Guo Xing listened to Yang He's proposal of two candidates and did not express his position, but nodded and said, "The qualifications of these two people are good, Zhang Gelao, your opinion."

Zhang Yanyu said, "Your Majesty, there are also two candidates here for Your Majesty's reference."

When Guo Xing heard it, this is also a two-person candidate, so he said, "Oh, Aiqing also has two candidates, so let's hear it."

Zhang Yanyu straightened his figure and said, "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Liu Bingzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Hu Kai, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Liu Bingzhong is the champion of Longshuo for 23 years, born in Hanlin, successively served as the governor of Zhizhou, the governor of Wanzhou, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, the ability and qualification are fully competent, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Hu Kai, is the Jinshi of Longshuo for 20 years, the Hanlin Academy, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, the Yizhou sacrificial wine, the Guozi Priest Wine, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Labor, etc., experienced, hope Your Majesty Mingjian."

Guo Xing nodded after hearing this and said, "The qualifications of these two people are okay."

In this way, in addition to Hu Laoguo Gong designated by Guo Xing, there are four candidates to choose from, Yang He was unhappy that Zhang Yanyu also proposed two candidates, and said that it is nothing for me to propose two candidates for the first assistant, and you also propose two, do you still have me in your heart.

Guo Xing thought for a while and said, "That's it, the two elders, these four candidates, will be discussed in the court meeting after the year, and two will be selected, what do you think."

The two of them can only look like this, and they are discussing it after the year, so they have a lot of time now. Therefore, they all agreed, Guo Xingliu and the two had dinner in the palace, and they affirmed the two of them in their words, and they would rely on the two elders in the future, and the two of them were very happy, and they were full of good feelings towards Guo Xing in their hearts.

The excitement of the year-end banquet lies in the competition, the number of participants this year is extraordinarily large, reaching more than 500 people, divided into more than a dozen rings to carry out, the players are also extraordinarily hard, all want to earn a name, get the emperor's appreciation, after a few days of competition, the top ten came out.

The first place is Ban Yue of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the second place is Guo Yuan of the royal side branch, the third place is Wu Yong, the youngest son of the governor of Yizhou, the fourth is Jiang Ping of the Zhenguo Mansion, the fifth is Liu Song of the Zhennan General's Mansion, the sixth is Zhang Zhen of Zhang Ge's hometown, the seventh is Ye Zhiqiu, the son of the governor of Minzhou, the eighth is Guo Tao of the Yongjun Mansion of the Zongmu, the ninth is Ji Yun of the Four Princesses' Mansion, and the tenth is Guo Yue of the Chengwang Mansion of the Zongmu.

Guo Xing's decree was rewarded, and at the same time announced that the top ten in the contest would be unified to the border army after the year to experience and give real power to the military position, although it is the lowest level of officers, but this is only the beginning, the generals know that this is the most honed person of a position, everyone is happy, and it has drawn a successful end to the 33 years of Longshuo.
