Officials who can maintain the element of [innocence] during the nine years of Yande's reign cannot be considered as the majority in the entire Wei Empire.

In particular, Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin are both scholars. They can persist in the many previous storms against scholars. It has to be said that they have excellent team skills.

Under such a premise, Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin were attracted by Guo Peng and called them to Nanshu, giving them the identity of [South Study Room].

Let them accompany them to study and practice calligraphy, and help them handle government affairs and other things.

Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin themselves also had their own jobs, and were suddenly called by the emperor to give them the identity of [Southern Study Room]. These two people were really confused.

What is His Majesty the Emperor doing?

The attendant of the Nanshufang is not a formal position, but a title. Their official identities are Sima, the Staff Officer of the General Staff, and the Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and they did not join the Nanshufang here.

Nanshufang is not a power institution, it is just a place where the emperor reads and learns calligraphy and handles daily government affairs.

The two were puzzled at first.

But a few days later, the two suddenly realized and fell into a burst of ecstasy.

The attendant of Nanshufang seems to be a useless identity, but they are qualified to often appear and stay with Guo Peng, often accompany Guo Peng to do business and chat!

They suddenly changed from being a foreign minister who could not meet the emperor often to being a close minister who could meet the emperor frequently!

Those who can often appear around the emperor are definitely the very few.

As of now, only the cabinet chief Cao Cao and the left assistant minister of the staff, Guo Jia, can do it.

They were often brought by the emperor and wandered around the palace, and were close to each other. Therefore, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were often regarded as weather vanes for court officials to do things and speak.

Because these two people can best understand what the emperor thoughts and thoughts, they also represent the staff and cabinet and declared that the staff and cabinet are the emperor's right-hand men.

Suddenly the emperor placed a list of Nanshu, allowing Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin to serve as attendants in Nanshu, often accompanying the emperor, and meeting the emperor every day.

Although most of the talks were about books, the emperor would talk about government affairs from time to time, listen to their opinions, and appreciate their appearance in his words.

this……

What does this mean?

Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin had in-depth private exchanges, and felt that something was wrong, and felt that the emperor had a special purpose for doing this.

Otherwise, there is no need to list a Nanshu, and they have to give them the identity of the Nanshu, allowing them to enter the outer palace.

This is interesting.

A few days later, Guo Peng called Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin to discuss the value with them.

"There are very busy dealing with government affairs here. There are a lot of things to do every day. There are not some talented attendants around you, and they are still under a lot of pressure. You might as well negotiate and arrange your work, and take turns to the Nanshu Room to listen to others one day. How about it?"

Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin's hearts were pounding with excitement, and they immediately expressed that they were willing to do so.

"I am willing to listen to Your Majesty's orders and listen to your Majesty's side."

What a joke, the two are not top leaders in the staff station and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, nor are they the ones who can make decisions. In terms of their closeness and alienation, they are far inferior to Xi Zhong and Zao Zhi.

However, with the status of Nanshufang as a attendant, they have the possibility of overtaking on the curve, surpassing those high-ranking officials and nobles who have a good impression of the emperor now.

How could they refuse such a good thing?

In fact, Guo Peng also has his own practical needs when setting up Nanshu.

It is not just to ensure that his power is not violated, but in the current situation, his power is so huge that even if the cabinet helps him share the pressure on government affairs, his pressure is still particularly huge.

Especially after he solved the matter of the resignation of the Shangshu Tai, although no one could divide the imperial power and infringe on the imperial power, all the remarks related to the state government affairs pointed to him.

The Shangshu Ling and the Shangshu Pushe were gone, the highest government office was gone, and the head of the government was gone, so naturally, everything could only be dealt with by the emperor, the supreme leader.

All the memorials were sent to Fengtian Hall and handed over to Guo Peng, who were personally disposed of.

The unprecedentedly huge number of musical books flew towards him like snowflakes, which was really caught off guard. One person was dazzled by the way and his head was almost blown up.

But he likes power, and he holds power firmly in his hands and is not ready to let go of it anyway, so there is no way, and this sin is really to be suffered.

This is a test that the real power emperor must withstand.

The power that Guo Peng gave to the cabinet was only part of his power, far less than the power of Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe.

Although the cabinet can handle many things, it is not the main core government affairs, but mostly complicated but not important things.

These things are troublesome and test the art of doing things, but they are not core.

Guo Peng will not appoint anyone as the real core military and national affairs. He will manage and give instructions on it himself to ensure the smooth operation of the country.

For example, the treatment of the army, the garrison, the distribution of military pay, the military, the government's personnel appointments, the allocation of some disaster relief materials, etc., are all handled by themselves.

Even if it was too late to hand it over to the cabinet for handling, Cao Cao needed to summarize and streamline the finished matters, and then come to the scene to report to him and let Guo Peng know.

He has to ask about everything in detail, and he will ask the questions to the end and never let them go.

Once dissatisfied, Guo Peng will also order Cao Cao to change his handling methods on the spot and then hand them over to the service department for implementation.

So his workload is really heavy.

Sometimes he had to examine the memorials of up to 50,000 or 60,000 words a day, and wrote thousands of words of nearly 10,000 words of approval, and then instructed his subordinates to do things according to his will.

From morning to night, there is almost no time to rest.

Thanks to his years of repairing the developed transportation network, the speed of message transmission has slightly accelerated.

Thanks to the fully laid out paper, direct communication between him and his ministers was possible.

Although this greatly consolidated the centralized imperial autocracy and greatly demonstrated his power, the imperial authority over the world, but...

So fucking tired.

He finally understood Zhu Yuanzhang's difficulties.

It was heard that Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed 1,660 memorials from internal and external departments within eight days and handled 3,391 state affairs.

On average, more than 200 memorials are reviewed and more than 400 state affairs are handled every day...

The number of people every day is so terrifying, and it lasts for eight consecutive days...

I can live to be seventy years old like this.

It can be seen how powerful Zhu Yuanzhang’s genes are, how energetic, and how good he is to manage time.

True Ming time management master.

True Ming Liver Emperor.

Guo Peng is not as good as he is.

No, it's never comparable.

He reviewed the memorials from morning to night and continued to handle state affairs. At most, he handled 331 state affairs a day at a time, but he was unable to work such high-intensity for eight consecutive days.

He was willing to give up on this.

He really doesn't want to compare with Zhu Yuanzhang who can handle state affairs better.

Emperors of all dynasties competed with diligence, but they were no match for Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's really tired, a little overwhelmed.

And there are many things that make him laugh and cry.

For example, many ministers wanted to contact him and left a deep impression on him, so they racked their brains to give him a memorial. There was not much to do, they were all flattering.
