Regarding those memorials that dissuaded Guo Peng from the imperial guards in person, Guo Peng would stay at the throne and not post them, just pretend that he didn't see them.

Then Guo Peng began to make comprehensive and meticulous arrangements for his personal command and the matters of the court after he left.

The emperor's personal expedition is not simply to lead troops out to fight.

It is completely different from Guo Peng's past leading troops to war and handing over political affairs to Cheng Yu and others.

At that time, Guo Peng was still a separatist warlord, putting war first in everything, and administration was all for war.

Just farm, squeeze, collect taxes, and build roads. There is not much development demand. For the sake of unity, there is not so much other things to deal with.

Now, he is the emperor of a unified empire, and what he has to do is completely different, and the task of the empire is completely different from that of a warlord.

The warlords only wanted to unify, but the empire had to do a lot of things.

The Wei Empire's system is still completely operating with him as its core.

He is a typical centralized autocratic emperor. Many things cannot be done without him, and it is impossible for him to hand over this part of his power to others just because he personally led the army to expedition.

He finally took a lot of power into his hands, but now he has to hand it over?

How is that possible!

Even if he personally led his troops to the battlefield to fight against the Xianbei people, he would not just need to lead troops to fight.

Along the way, he still needed to deal with the memorials sent from Luoyang court, handled them on the spot, and sent them back to Luoyang on the spot, relying on the developed road traffic network to maintain the political situation in Luoyang.

A considerable part of his energy will be spent on handling the government and commanding the smooth operation of the entire Wei Empire remotely, rather than just being responsible for commanding the army to fight.

Leaving the prince to supervise the country is in a greater sense to stabilize people's hearts and the situation, so that people know that even if he cannot come back, the prince can ascend the throne immediately and stabilize people's hearts.

But the crown prince is not the emperor after all, and many things cannot be decided by the crown prince Guo Jin alone. The crown prince does not have that power, and the one who has that power is Guo himself.

Therefore, this has extremely high requirements for court officials, messengers responsible for passing messages back and forth, as well as the road station system of the Wei Empire.

The government affairs that the emperor needs to handle are summarized from many places to the central government and to Luoyang, and then sent from Luoyang to the emperor who is marching. The emperor makes a decision on the front line and then sends them back to Luoyang and handed them over to the ministers to handle.

There is no doubt that this will make the entire country less administrative efficiency and longer handle government affairs. Matters involving non-military needs may be postponed.

Overall, this model is not conducive to the handling of state government affairs.

Therefore, when Guo Peng considers this kind of matter, he will completely delegate some of the specific government affairs to the administrative team left behind in the capital, so that they can make timely decisions on these matters.

For example, in terms of water conservancy projects, improving land salinization, and controlling locust plagues.

If the money needs to be used, the power should be temporarily delegated to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to handle it, and it should not be delayed for too long.

Similarly, this battle is probably in full swing in autumn and cannot be ended in a short period of time.

Even if it is over, it will take time to return to Beijing from the Mobei Grassland.

Therefore, Guo Peng is likely to be unable to deal with the most important autumn harvest season every year.

Therefore, the power was temporarily delegated to the Crown Prince Guo Jin, and the Crown Prince Guo Jin was responsible for handling this matter, presided over the autumn harvest ceremony, and the Governor's autumn harvest and tax payment in various places.

Guo Peng delegated his power to some secondary and important things, but he must not relax on issues related to the emperor's power and status.

For example, if there are any changes in personnel power and how to deal with them, it is up to Mr. Guo to deal with them himself.

No matter how slow the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites are, no matter how delayed it is, the Shangshutai cannot decide privately. The affairs of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites must be sent to the front line and handed over to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng ordered Xu Jing and Zhang Zhao to be responsible for the implementation, and directly bypass Cheng Yu and Tian Feng, even if the efficiency is reduced, he would be spared.

Guo Peng clearly invaded this part of the power belonging to the Shangshutai, and no longer planned to return this power to the Shangshuling. In the future, Cheng Yu would basically not have to consider whether this position would be set up.

Now is a preview, and some officials should be accustomed to how to respect the emperor's orders without the Shangshu Order, because in the not-far future, this will become the norm.

Guo Peng will completely ban Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe, and even cancel the existence of Shangshutai, directly making the Shangshutai independent, all under the direct leadership of the emperor.

This will greatly increase the degree of monarch's centralization and greatly expand the emperor's power, which is of course not a good thing for some people.

Of course, when things came to that point, these people could not speak out.

The arrangement of government affairs is not the most troublesome. The most troublesome thing is the officials and people who follow them. It is also very energy-consuming.

The emperor personally led the army and generals, but also many court officials.

They also need to follow along, help the emperor handle government affairs, share responsibilities, reduce the emperor's pressure, and facilitate the emperor to command the army to fight.

Therefore, the emperor's personal command of the emperor was actually equivalent to dividing the entire court into two.

The emperor left a court in Luoyang and took another court to do business by himself, which tests the service ability of the entire court and the comprehensive quality of officials.

Guo Peng also discussed the list of officials taken away with many people.

In addition to the earliest confirmed Xi Zhong and Xun You, the staff station had to take away almost half of the staff and accompany the military counselors, and also assist the emperor in handling military affairs.

Then, regarding government affairs, in addition to the Ministry of Justice, each of the eight ministries had to take away a minister and at least twenty powerful officials to accompany them to assist the emperor in handling daily government affairs.

The cabinet should also dispatch at least fifty smart and capable cabinet members to accompany them to assist the emperor in handling government affairs, upload and issue them, and reduce the pressure on the emperor.

The inner court needed to dispatch a certain eunuch team to serve the emperor in the marching. The number of people could not be less than fifty. The emperor needed their help in all aspects of his daily life.

Forget about the palace maids, it would be a problem to take them with them. This is not necessary for Qianlong to go to the south of the Yangtze River.

After a period of arrangement and discussion, an administrative service team composed of at least 500 people will follow Emperor Guo Peng to fight for the Northern Expedition.

They will form a small court on the way to the expedition and go to court to handle government affairs every day, and the state government affairs cannot be abandoned.

These are all normal, and if you have to say that it is abnormal, it can only be regarded as the Shangshu Ling Cheng Yu and Shangshu Pushe Tian Feng being asked to go to war with the army, follow Guo Peng, and do business around Guo Peng.

Before this, some people speculated that one of Tian Feng and Cheng Yu would definitely be taken away, and then a commander's secretary was left behind. They believed that through this wave of operations, it could be seen who the emperor was more willing to forgive, and even less willing to forgive.

This kind of rumor is quite popular in Shangshutai, and people believe that from this choice, we can see who the emperor trusts more.

Unexpectedly, Tian Feng and Cheng Yu were both asked to go out with the army and help the emperor handle government affairs on the way.

The left-behind officials at the Shangshutai must be headed by the Crown Prince Guo Jin and report everything to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince will preside over these daily government affairs.

The Secretary of State and the Secretary of State of State must also accept the leadership of the Crown Prince.
