The emperor's will was issued one after another within a few days, basically people everywhere knew, carefully knew that the emperor's military reform was about to begin, then the pace of the war was one step closer, the descendants of each family were practicing martial arts at home, especially the military generals, they increased their efforts, knowing that the emperor would definitely fight in a few years after the reform, and the time to make contributions was coming.

In the past month of the year, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was very busy, and the work of verifying various indicators in various localities was very arduous, and many of the excerpts sent to Beijing every day were being sent to Beijing, and many of the excerpts approved by the cabinet were being finally summed up, and they did not dare to be careless when it came to their own future.

Guo Xing was also very busy during this period of time, and his feet did not touch the ground after being busy, and sent court painters to paint portraits of the three pavilion elders and the Northern Duke Bansheng for use after the year.

Yu Xuan Lao Ge returned to his hometown, according to the news from the secret guard, opened a academy in Wuzhi County, Huaiqing Prefecture, Yuzhou, his hometown, teaching and educating people, and has a high reputation in the local area.

On this day, the door of the county government of Wuzhi County is cleaned clean, the county order, the main book, the history, the inspection, the post Cheng stood at the door of the county government one by one, the three classes of the government were lined up on both sides of the waiting for someone to come, and after waiting for a while, the county came to a team of army personnel standing directly on both sides of the county office, the dress of the army is very different from the clothing of the local army, one by one is a helmet and armor, the clothes are distinct, it is the Royal Forest Army, Guo Xing specially arranged.

Then there are a lot of people dressed up in various officials, only then came a few sedan chairs, down is the prefect of Huaiqing Mansion in Yuzhou Guo Shaoyun, another sedan chair came out of Yuzhou Governor Zheng Wu, and the last sedan chair came out with Prince Guo Zhong.

Officials at all levels greeted each other, and Guo Zhong said to the Wuzhi County Order, "Are they all arranged?"

Zhu Fengchun, the commander of Wuzhi County, said, "It's all arranged, all the squires from all over the country have arrived, and they are all waiting at Shanyang Academy, just waiting for the prince and the adults."

Guo Zhong nodded, turned around and said to Zheng Wu, "Governor Zheng, let's go to the academy together, how about it."

Governor Zheng said, "Okay, everything is according to the prince's arrangement."

Everything Guo Zhong did was explained by Guo Xing, and he wanted to surprise the old man, so except for the governor Zheng Wu who knew what it was, no one else knew, Zheng Wu listened to Guo Zhong's introduction, his eyes were very red, this is the ultimate pursuit of being an official in the world, it is impossible not to envy it. The group set off towards Shanyang Academy.

At this time, the door of Shanyang Academy is already a black press, the celebrities and gentry of the entire county are concentrated at the door of Shanyang Academy, yesterday Wuzhi County County Commander Zhu Fengchun sent someone to inform, tomorrow morning to Shanyang Academy to gather or not, you look at it, who dares not to come, the majesty of the official mansion of the Great Jin Dynasty is still very strong, and I don't know what it is to meet the Shangcha.

Everyone notified it, but they didn't notify the Yu Xuan family, and when they saw that there were so many people at the gate of their academy, the old man sent someone to inquire, but no one knew what it was, only that they wanted them to come to the gate of the academy to greet the errand.

The old man was shocked, could it be that the current emperor wants to settle accounts after the autumn, it is impossible, although Yu Xuan has not worked with Guo Xing, but he knows Guo Xing's mind, to be honest, he was not optimistic about Guo Xing's old man at the beginning, after all, Guo Xing's reputation as a martial arts idiot was quite prosperous at that time, and he was worried that Guo Xing would devote himself to practicing martial arts and waste national affairs.

But after Guo Xing ascended the throne, a series of actions made the old man admire, especially after the destruction of Gao Juli, the old man arranged for people to set off firecrackers, and paid out of their own pockets to build roads and set up a banquet is a big celebration, very happy, very optimistic about Guo Xing.

Yu Xuan also came to the gate of the academy and waited there with a group of gentry on a businesstrip. When it was almost noon, I saw that the front was the county government official sounding the gong to open the way, and the back of a sedan chair to see the style of the sedan chair was the county order, and then followed by a vote of the army, which was the peak of the army, and the local one looked different, and there were several large sedan chairs following behind.

Others couldn't recognize where the army came, but Yu Xuan did, and he was surprised how the Imperial Forest Army also came, could it be the emperor, no, the emperor would be busy here, it seems that the royal family is coming, and the matter is not small.

Seeing that the people in the sedan chair got off the sedan chair one by one, and finally the yellow-topped sedan chair got off Guo Zhong, Yu Xuan recognized Guo Zhong, Guo Zhong also recognized Yu Xuan, Yu Xuan knew Guo Zhong's identity, and now the most beautiful prince, there is no Oh one, Emperor Guo Xing is his younger brother.

The group walked towards the people in front of the academy, and saw Guo Zhong walking forward quickly, bowing to Yu Xuan and saying, "Old pavilion, do you remember Guo Zhong?"

Yu Xuan was about to give a salute when he saw Guo Zhong, after all, Yu Xuan had already returned to his hometown and had no official body, Guo Zhong hurriedly helped Lao Ge Lao and said, "Yu Ge Lao, don't, don't be like this, I can't stand it."

After supporting the old pavilion, Yu Xuan asked, "I don't know what happened to the arrival of the prince today."

Guo Zhong smiled and said, "Old Pavilion Elder, I am here to give you the old man's decree, please ask the old pavilion to place the incense case to receive the decree."

As soon as Yu Xuan heard this, he hurriedly ordered, "Quick, place the incense case to receive the decree" The people next to him were hurrying to prepare, and everyone else was thinking about what was going on, why would the imperial court send a prince to come over to deliver the decree, what was the matter, the incense case was set up after a while.

Guo Zhong strode to the back of the incense case, took out the holy decree, held it high, and said: "Yu Xuan, the former cabinet minister, received the decree."

The sound of "whoosh" is that they all knelt down, all the officials and gentry, dare not kneel, the emperor is the supreme son of heaven, if you are not respectful, you can directly destroy your family, and it is in line with the law. Yu Xuan in front of him said loudly: "Yu Xuan, the grass people, receives the order."

Guo Zhong unfolded the holy decree and read highly, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Yu Xuan, the former cabinet chief, reconciled yin and yang during his reign, the prime minister of the river and the mountain, hard work and resentment, successive three dynasties for the Great Jin Dynasty to make great contributions, although the old man returned to his hometown, but the court can not help but reward the emperor's heart, first, the special court painter came to the portrait, the portrait into the Lingyuan Pavilion to be worshiped by the emperor. Second, the title of Marquis of Fengzhong, the title follows three generations, three. The township is tax-free for three years, fourth, you can fold the child to the court at any time, five. The court builds an archway in front of its house, the civil official gets off the sedan chair, and the military attache dismounts, six. The posthumous affairs of the imperial court host the prince's memorial, seven. Reward three thousand taels of silver, fifty horses of silk brocade, and Qin this.

After listening to the holy decree, all of them were blinded, especially the old man Yu Xuan was in tears, and he couldn't cry and said, "Minister Yu Xuan, thank Your Majesty for your grace" and cried three times before he stood up with the support of others.

He grabbed Guo Zhong's hand and said, "Old minister, .....", he was speechless with a stirring mood.

There is an official position next to Yu Xuan, which is envious, what a gift this is, I don't know if I listen to others to explain and envy it very much, someone said next to me, Your Majesty is benevolent, the old man has returned to his hometown and doesn't want to forget, it is really a famous monarch through the ages, and the gentry are praising the emperor and praising the court.

Guo Zhong helped the people who came and said, "Hou Ye, there are only four people in the Great Jin Dynasty who have won this honor this time, except for your elder, as well as Fang Congzhe Fang Pavilion Elder, as well as Yang He Yang Ge Lao, Beiguo Gong Ban Sheng, just the four of you, it is the current emperor hand-picked, when I came, His Majesty specially explained to me and asked me to apologize on his behalf, it is a great pity that the state affairs are heavy and cannot come in person, please forgive the old Ge Lao, you have worked hard for the Great Jin Dynasty for so many years, this reward is late."

Yu Xuan is crying now, and he said in his mouth, "Your Majesty is benevolent, I am ashamed of my old decay."

Guo Zhong knew that the old man had always felt guilty about Emperor Guo Xing because of his eldest son's affairs, Guo Zhong looked at the old man and then said, "Your eldest son, Your Majesty, has issued an amnesty, and he will come back to meet you in the near future.

Hearing Guo Zhong's words, the old man's heart felt even more guilty, and he cried and said, "Please also ask the prince to delay here for two days, and I will write a thank you excerpt and ask the prince to bring it back."

Guo Zhong said, "There is no problem at all," the old man is also a big landlord in the local area, and he instructed him to invite all the chefs from the major restaurants in the city to cook and set up a banquet, and set up a two-day flowing water banquet, and anyone can come.

Yu Xuan old man longevity, has lived until one hundred and seven years old, the Shanyang Academy founded before his death can be said to have cultivated a lot of talents for the Great Jin, the old man also specially opened the door to the poor children, as long as you have talent and diligence and studious results, all free not to mention the gift of money to supplement his family, the academy has developed to even the students of several states next to it have come to study, it can be said that it is famous all over the world, the purpose of teaching is first of all loyal and patriotic, firm royalist.

The Chinese New Year is over, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year this year is still relatively good, and the yamen at all levels have good oil and water, which is not yet from the hands of the common people, and since the implementation of financial control, all departments have set aside small coffers for welfare distribution.

The New Year of the royal family is still the same as before, everyone was summoned together by Guo Xing, accompanied by the Emperor Taishang and the two queen mothers for the New Year, the performance of the three generations is much calmer, Guo Xing specially checked that everyone's martial arts are good, and they can't be lazy under Guo Wei's training, and they have suffered a lot.

Guo Xing now has six children, and there are seven more pregnant, who are destined to have many children, and secretly ran out the next day to visit Ji Yanran, who has not seen him for a long time, Ji Yanran is also very enthusiastic, knowing that Guo Xing's time is limited, so he is extremely enthusiastic.

Guo Xing also practiced a lot of room techniques during this time, just to let Guo Xing come here more, and after some wind and rain, he told Guo Xing that he wanted to have a child, Guo Xing was ashamed to Ji Yanran and agreed, counting the personal maid on the side, he left the essence in Ji Yanran's body three times, and Guo Xing rushed back to the palace early in the morning.

After the year, the big people from all over the country began to enter Beijing, the capital seems to be particularly lively, there are many people on all streets, the crowd is a little crowded, and the business of restaurants and green buildings is exceptionally good.

Guo Xing summoned several ministers of the cabinet in the imperial study, Yang He, the first auxiliary minister, Zhang Yanyu, the minister, Hu Tao, the minister Wei Guogong, Yao Chong, and Liu Bingzhong, the minister, are Guo Xing's important team.

After everyone sat down, Guo Xing said, "Yang Shoufu will return to his hometown after the year, Yang Shoufu recommended Zhang Yanyu to replace Shoufu, this three-year work plan will be presided over by Zhang Yanyu and Zhang Gelao, everyone should help wholeheartedly."

Yang He's treatment of the cabinet ministers is red-eyed, counting, Hu Laoguo is the imperial prince is unlikely to take over the position of first assistant, Yao Chong and Liu Bingzhong have not been in the cabinet for a long time, so there is only Zhang Yanyu.

Zhang Yanyu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, there is the foundation laid by Elder Yang Ge in front of the two-year plan, there is no problem with the three-year work plan, and the minister will definitely complete it on time."

Guo Xing nodded and said: "I am still relieved to do things in the middle of the guard, but there is one thing to remember in the middle of the guard, the focus of the three-year plan is the production of grain, I will tell you the bottom, the army will change after the year, and the army will go north to fight the prairie in three years, so food is the top priority, not careless."

In fact, Guo Xing's war with the prairie is not new, but the date is clearly proposed for the first time, so I heard Guo Xing continue" The reform of the army is not something that can be completed overnight, it is estimated that it will take about a year, I have told Gongsun Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry that all the water conservancy facilities in the country will be closed according to the plan, and the grain harvest will be ensured by region, and I plan to allocate one million prisoners to support this project, Gongsun Shangshu's plan should be almost ready, and if there are not enough people, all localities must also send prisoners to cooperate, and this project will be completed within three years."

Several ministers were immediately suppressed by Guo Xing's generosity, but this is a good thing, benefiting the country and the people. All dynasties and dynasties wanted to vigorously renovate the water conservancy but the cost was too great, and the imperial court could not afford it and put it on hold.

Guo Xing looked at Zhang Yanyu and said, "Shouzhong, after the completion of this project, you will be famous for eternity as the first assistant minister of the cabinet," Guo Xing said with certainty.

Zhang Yanyu doesn't know how to describe his mood now, Guo Xing gave himself such an opportunity to be famous through the ages, how rare.

Immediately knelt down and said, "The minister must complete His Majesty's goal and do his best to die", Zhang Tingyu said this categorically, and then did the same.

Although Zhang Yanyu is a bit of a power-grabbing power, but things at work are not sloppy at all, Guo Xing just likes Zhang Yanyu's point, so he can use it with confidence, as the boss, you don't have to bow down in person, just mobilize the enthusiasm of your subordinates, I believe that Zhang Yanyu will definitely stare at this matter, and will not let people ruin their chances of being famous.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yanyu with envy, before he took office, His Majesty gave such a big cake to Zhang Yanyu, they were all a little jealous, Guo Xing continued, "The second thing is the reform of the military department, this matter will be presided over by Hu Laoguogong, and the military reform will be completed in one fell swoop."
