After this incident was exposed, officials from all over the court were shocked by this incident.

Not to mention the other three families, it seems to be a big deal, but Yuan is a real relative of the Five Generations and Three Dukes.

In the former Han Dynasty, it was an amazing wealthy family, and it was one of the few top families.

As soon as the Sili school captain Cheng Yu took office, he pointed his finger at the Yuan family, who had a marriage relationship with the royal family, and killed two tribe members who led the annexation of the land. The head of the family Yuan family was also severely punished, and Yuan family was hit and injured.

Cheng Yu actually completely ignored the special status of Yuan's family and brought Yuan down and humiliated him severely. What's more important is that it seems that the emperor is also standing on Cheng Yu's side.

The father-in-law of his second son was demoted when he said he was demoted, and the clan members killed him when he said he was killed...

However, it is normal. The emperor did not even let his younger brother go, and his wife Li family was almost killed. I think he would not care about just a Yuan family.

Many officials were frightened by this, but they had no choice but to face the terrifying imperial power.

After all hostile regimes were swept away, the scholar group was wiped out, the imperial examination system was established, and now the powerful manors were almost completely destroyed, and the tax policy of paying food in one piece was established.

The emperor achieved an invincible golden body, and now he is doing whatever he wants.

As for Mr. Guo’s own feelings, he clearly felt that the power he now possessed could be compared with that of Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han, and Zhu Yuanzhang, and other emperors were really not good to compare with him.

Either it is bad in military power, or it is bad in regime power, or it is bad in financial power.

Mr. Guo just [promise] Cao Ren's retirement was when military power was unprecedentedly stable in the army.

On the other hand, the court also tamed the ministers, eradicated the economic foundation of the opposition, and destroyed the last established opposition, the Manor Group, and the regime was unprecedentedly stable.

The new tax policy was established and financial power was unprecedentedly powerful.

The three powers of military, politics and finance are in hand. They are the only one thing to say, and the arbitrary principle is the peak of power, and they achieve a complete emperor, or a super emperor.

As such a super emperor, Guo even got rid of the restrictions of public opinion. Public opinion dared not impose any restrictions on Guo, otherwise public opinion would die.

In this case, when imperial power penetrates almost all aspects of life, Mr. Guo wants to kill one or two people, and no longer needs the approval of the ministers and the understanding of public opinion.

There is no need to let Chen Lin output high-quality articles overnight to seize the public opinion high ground and firmly defend the public opinion high ground.

At this time, with a wave of his hand, Guo could make the entire battlefield of public opinion disappear.

The heart of a single man is becoming increasingly arrogant.

The power of a single man is unshakable.

This is the state.

Cheng Yu, the Sili lieutenant, the imperial minion, and the emperor's hawk. It is really easy to understand that he was making trouble at this time.

Moreover, the emperor had very sufficient reasons for the action.

If you give honest advice, I will let you go. I will not blame you, but if you do not give honest advice, you will deceive the emperor, so what else can I say?

Isn’t the crime of deceiving the king enough to be punished with death?

Even if Mr. Guo’s power was not so terrifying a few years ago, he could still kill the other party, let alone now.

That's legitimate.

So the ministers were terrified and no one dared to speak out. They watched three senior officials of the Shangshutai level as the Minister of State were killed and Yuan was attacked.

Cheng Yu returned to the peak through the victory of this battle, so that everyone knew that the super hawk with the emperor's trust was back.

Although he no longer holds the power of Shangshutai, and is no longer the prime minister of Wei, and cannot continue to be inferior to ten thousand people, as the Sili School Captain, the power he holds in his hands can even kill others.

Cheng Yu swept away the gloom of losing the real power of the Shangshutai, re-installed and stood on the cusp of the Wei Empire court again, leaving the wind and rain to the point where it remained unmoved.

Guo Peng was very satisfied with this. He wanted to see how long this old minister who took the initiative to share the firepower for him could last.

While Cheng Yu was outside punishing corrupt officials and gathering fire for him, Guo Peng began to continue to optimize the court departments and allocate power.

Speaking of which, after both Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe were removed from office, the emperor never set up a new Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe, and the Shangshu Detachment had no head.

Cheng Yu became the captain of the Sili School, and Tian Feng was driven to Caiyun South to be the governor of Yunzhou. Both of them were no longer at the Shangshutai, and the leadership of the Shangshutai was already in name only.

However, as a subordinate department, the service department of Shangshutai still exists intact.

The Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Academic Affairs, a total of nine departments are intact.

But now the Nine Ministers of the Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe are no longer responsible, but are directly responsible to the emperor.

Quite a long time ago, many departments were directly responsible to the emperor.

Later, he was actually responsible to the emperor.

Now, we are directly responsible to the emperor in a straightforward and simplistic manner.

There was no Shangshu Ling, no Shangshu Pushe, the Shangshu Tai was in name only, and only nine departments were intact and waited for the emperor's orders.

The imperial power was unprecedentedly concentrated in Guo Peng's hands alone.

However, it is not without problems that the Nine Ministers are directly responsible to the emperor.

That is, there is too much government affairs in the state. The existence of the Shangshu Desk is removed and all government affairs are directly directed to the emperor himself, which is a huge burden for the emperor.

In other words, it is an unsolvable burden that cannot be completely handled no matter how hard you try.

The imperial power is huge, but what we have to do has also had an exponential explosion level impact, and the number is beyond anyone's imagination.

When Cheng Yu and Tian Feng were still in power, it was not just the two of them who handled these things. They also had dozens of officials from their respective subordinates to handle them together.

The memorials handed over by the service department and officials will be processed and screened by the Shangshu Desk. Only a small number of matters that must be decided by the emperor will be delivered to Guo Peng, and other trivial matters will be dealt with.

This is a convention since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Guo Peng didn't like this, so after paper was widely popularized and the emergence of the Memorial Book, he took away all the power of the Shangshutai.

He stipulated that when the ministers needed to do things, they would write regular articles in the memorial book, and directly handed the memorial book to the emperor, and the emperor personally handled it.

He gave a considerable number of officials the qualification to write a memorial book and hand it over to the emperor, telling them that they could contact the emperor directly through the memorial book.

No matter which department is going to do what it is or what local officials have to report and deal with, they can be written in a memorial book and handed it directly to the emperor, eliminating the intermediate links and handling them by the emperor himself, thus greatly expanding the imperial power.

The imperial power was then pushed to the top by Mr. Guo.

But in this way, more and more departments are directly responsible for the emperor, and Guo Peng is under increasing pressure.

There are many memorials in the central area like autumn leaves, which cannot be handled by the emperor alone.

At this time, the cabinet, which was originally a good helper for power struggle, took the lead.

Before Guo Peng took over the real power of the Shangshutai, the cabinet only served as a guardian of the imperial power and had the power to audit accounts as a deterrent to the Shangshutai.

Moreover, the cabinet at that time was not a formal state department, and the chief minister had no rank. Wang Can and Cao Cao, who were earlier, were working in vain and had no actual status.

Later, as Guo Peng's power continued to increase and in order to connect with the monk's desk, Guo Peng set up the cabinet as a formal state power organ.
