After the imperial examinations replaced the recommendations, except for a few confused insects who cannot see the future trends, most people should have noticed new irreplaceable trends.

However, the Cai family is obviously the confused insect family who cannot see the future trends clearly.

No one of the Cai family took the imperial examination. All the new generation of children were unemployed. They relied on their family to join the government and took various idle positions. They were not happy with the attitude of being unable to support the wall.

Before Cai Yong passed away, it was probably because of this reason that he disliked his relatives very much.

No one who is willing to compete for employment probably thinks that he can enter the official position through his family and truly take power.

Yes, as long as the family members are living long enough, the three ministers and nine ministers can wait for them, but the power...

Save it.

Without being tempered at the grassroots level, they cannot be transferred to real positions to do business.

Cao Zhi, a member of the Cao family, was from the imperial examination, and two or three other branches were also admitted to the government after passing the imperial examination. However, their power was already quite large, and as relatives of the outside world, it was impossible for them to continue to increase their power.

Under such a broad background, Guo Chengzhi's queen candidate must not be from the old powerful family, but must be replaced. None of the old powerful families surrounding the Guo royal family could be chosen.

Cao Ang’s daughter is definitely not good.

"You're right, this candidate is not allowed."

Guo Peng supported Guo Jin's view and excluded the daughter of Cao and Cai from Guo Chengzhi's candidate for the crown princess.

"It would be great that my father would support me, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to my mother. What my mother's thoughts should be more kinship. I probably think this is the best for us."

Guo Jin smiled embarrassedly: "With the support of his father, his son will have no worries. Chengzhi's Crown Princess must be related to the imperial examination officials to express our support for the imperial examination and our encouragement to the imperial examination officials. Some old things that should disappear will disappear."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Well, do you have a suitable candidate now?"

“There are a few…”

Guo Jin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Father, what do you think of the daughter of Zhuge Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture?"

"Zhuge Jin?"

Guo Peng was a little surprised and narrowed his eyes: "How did you think of him? He... was not from an imperial examination official."

Guo Jin nodded and said, "He is indeed not from the imperial examination, but his two younger brothers, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun, are both from imperial examination officials. His son Zhuge Ke just passed the imperial examination this year and passed the imperial examination examination and was an imperial examination official.

Therefore, except for Zhuge Jin himself, Zhuge Jin's family basically came from the imperial examination. In the future, they will also come from the imperial examination. The transformation of the entire family was quite successful. Zhuge Jin himself was the Minister of Agriculture and his identity was sufficient.

He was born in Xuzhou and had no connection with the powerful generals around him when his father raised his army. He was the group of people who were suppressed earlier. It was not until his father advocated the imperial examination that he was gradually promoted and had no political connection with the old powerful people."

Guo Peng thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case.

Zhuge Jin was born in Xuzhou. When the Qingyan and Ji people occupied the mainstream, he was the group of people who were suppressed.

He was bullied by scholars, bullied by powerful people, and was repeatedly rejected in the officialdom. During his period of deep experience, he was still a middle- and low-level bureaucrat like Yuanwailang.

It was not until he supported Guo Peng to overthrow the gentry and adopted the imperial examination system that he finally turned around.

Later, because Zhang Zhao was attracted by Guo Peng, he took his daughter into Guo Jin's harem, and then promoted Zhuge Jin. To be honest, Zhuge Jin was from Zhang Zhao's sect.

Pure civil servants, formerly vulnerable groups, were all imperial examination officials. The vested interests of the imperial examination were not old powerful people. They had no contact with the old powerful people and had enough status.

Indeed, Zhuge Jin is the most preferred item in all senses, which meets all the requirements of the Crown Princess's family.

And there is another point that the Wei Empire has become a system of division of civil and military affairs. The traditional concept of becoming generals and ministers that the Han Dynasty paid more attention to in the Han Dynasty did not work in the Wei Empire.

Guo Peng does not like all-round talents who are generals and ministers, which will make politics and military related, give birth to a powerful family, and threaten the imperial power. Therefore, Guo Peng set up a staff station to divide administration and military from the beginning of his country.

Civil officials are civil officials, and military generals are military generals. People who go out to become generals and ministers are never allowed to appear again.

Civil officials are promoted all the way according to the promotion path of civil officials, and military generals are promoted all the way according to the promotion path of military generals. The two are two parallel lines, so there should not be too much contact with each other.

The Staff Platform is an important organization responsible for isolating the two.

Under such a guiding ideology, Guo Peng was very disgusted with the situation where some people in a family were engaged in administration and some were engaged in military affairs.

Such families are everywhere in the former Han Dynasty, and everyone regards the principle of life as generals and ministers, but Guo Peng hates such families very much.

Therefore, Guo Peng's dissatisfaction with the Cao family has been a long time.

Some are engaged in administration and some are engaged in military affairs. A family spans two major areas of military and administration, and has an important position in all major areas.

This could have been helpful to Guo Peng before the seventh year of Yande, but after the establishment of the imperial examination system in the seventh year of Yande, such existence was an obstacle.

Civil officials are civil officials, and military generals are military generals, not only individuals, but also families.

Either administrative or military, the only thing you can do is the emperor, nothing else.

There are also such families in the Wei Empire so far, but there are not many. The relatives like the Cao Xiahou family have always been like this.

It is also ironic. At the beginning, this was Guo’s urgent need, but now it has become a thorn in Guo’s eyes.

But the emperor should be such a contradictory collective.

Guo Peng even planned to ask Guo Jin to start rectifying the Cao family, remove the Cao family's power in the army, or solve the Cao family's power in the administrative field, and turn the Cao family into a pure civil or military official family. The Xiahou family should be like this.

In order to ensure the correct tradition of dividing civil and military rule in the Wei Empire.

Compared with this, the Zhuge family is much better. The pure civil servant family has nothing to do with military affairs. Of course, Guo Peng did not need Zhuge Liang to attack the powerful enemy five times for him, so Zhuge Liang would never touch the army.

Such a family is undoubtedly of great benefit to Guo Chengzhi.

After thinking about this, Guo Peng nodded slowly.

"You can continue to think and examine it. If there is no other more suitable candidate, I agree with this candidate."

This is equivalent to Guo Peng approving this candidate.

So Guo Jin was very happy.

"Since that's the case, the son will carefully examine it. If there are no other interference issues, it will be decided like this. Chengzhi is already nineteen years old, and it's time to get married."

"This is great. Make sure it is as soon as possible. If you have more children, the country's foundation will be more stable."

Guo Peng smiled and said, "You don't have to care too much about other problems. I will help you solve them."

Guo Jin understands what Guo Peng means.

If Guo Peng hadn't been alive and could have sheltered him from the wind and rain, Guo Jin really felt that this wave would not be so easy to deal with.

But with Guo Peng's approval, all problems are no longer problems.

After talking about this, Guo Peng remembered Cao Cao.

"What's wrong with your uncle now? I haven't visited him for a while."

Guo Peng asked about Cao Cao's recent situation.

Now Cao Cao has no threat, he can be Guo Jin's uncle.

Guo Jin sighed and shook his head.

"It's okay, but it's still difficult to speak now. Half of your body still can't move. You need someone to help you with anything. Because of this, Zixiu and the others can't devote themselves to the office. They blame their son. They originally wanted to give a reward, but who knew it would be like this..."

Guo Jin was a little bit self-blame.

"Don't feel guilty, who would have thought of such a thing?"

Guo Peng comforted him: "Your mother has no intention of blaming you. Just do your own thing well. I will go and see him in a few days."

"Son understand."

Guo Jin felt relieved and continued to do his own thing as the emperor.

Guo Peng made some rectification the next day and went to Cao Cao's mansion with Cao Lan.

When he arrived at Cao Cao's mansion, Cao Lan went to visit Cao Cao, while Guo Peng ran into Cao Ren who happened to visit him.

Seeing that there was no one around and there was still a lot of time to talk alone, Guo Peng and Cao Ren had a conversation in the garden of Cao's mansion.

"How have you been doing in recent days? Do you feel lonely and bored in your hometown in Qiao County? Leaving the army and starting to be unemployed, many people will feel uncomfortable. When I first abdicated, I also felt uncomfortable."

Guo Peng looked at Cao Ren with a smile and found that Cao Ren had become much fatter than the last time he met.

Cao Ren nodded, half a position behind Guo Peng, and whispered: "I have received the grace of the Supreme Emperor, and have been able to indulge in mountains and rivers and enjoy endlessly. How can I have any boredom? Leaving the army, there are no trivial matters to bother, and I will only feel relaxed."

"That's good. I'll feel relieved if you can live a comfortable life."

Guo Peng nodded and whispered: "I didn't expect this to happen to my elder brother. I have imagined many ways of life and good places for my elder brother after retirement, but I never expected that he would have a stroke.

Such a disease is very dangerous. People in the large clinic say that even if the eldest brother is cured, it will be difficult for him to engage in government affairs. He must rest in peace and cannot continue to do things in the future."

"Ah... how can you blame others for such a fate?"

Cao Ren smiled bitterly and said, "It is a blessing that my elder brother can still survive with such a disease. How can I have other extravagant desires? Moreover, my elder brother has also obtained the position of Sikong and is the best civil and military person in the court. What else is worth dissatisfaction with?"

Guo Peng walked forward a few steps and suddenly stopped.
