Mr. Guo was already feeling a little unhappy when he saw Cheng Yu as the de facto prime minister.

The contradiction between imperial power and ministerial power is itself irreconcilable.

It seems that we have to slowly find some opportunities to weaken his power. The position of Shangshu Ling cannot be easily handed over, or even should not exist.

As the founding emperor, Guo had enough prestige to suppress the power of the prime minister, but his descendants may not be sure.

Who has the better quality of the Guo royal family who stands out from the ministers and has a great chance of becoming the emperor?

Which one is more likely to defeat the elite among the 400,000 people, and the emperor among the royal family members, ranging from a few to dozens of them?

The answer is obvious.

Therefore, in the opinion of Guo, there is nothing worth discussing about the existence of this position. Whether it is nominal or actual, the existence of the prime minister should not continue.

In Guo's opinion, the battle between prime minister and imperial power is just a cause of trouble.

Just to commend the heroes, he had to do it. Cheng Yu had to pay a reward for years. This is what he deserved. If he couldn't even get the reward he deserved, who would do anything for the Wei Empire to die?

People are born and die for themselves.

So Guo gradually felt Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns and emotions.

Zhongde, you have to reflect on yourself.

You and I are no longer people on the same front, you are still a people, but I am the king!

I don’t mind becoming Zhu Yuanzhang, and you don’t mind becoming Hu Weiyong?

A cold light flashed in Guo's eyes.

Originally, in this struggle, Cheng Yu and the Ministry of Personnel watched from the wall.

The Shangshu Ling personally took charge of the Ministry of Personnel, which proved that the Ministry of Personnel was the head of the eight departments of the Shangshutai, and the officials who entered the Ministry of Personnel were also selected by Cheng Yu himself.

Under Cheng Yu's intimidation, no one dared to involve the Ministry of Personnel within the Shangshutai.

Everyone says that those who hold the Ministry of Personnel have the power to live and kill the entire Shangshutai. As the Shangshuling, Cheng Yu is the head of Shangshutai, who is comparable to the prime minister. He is also in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and has the power to appoint and dismiss people. This power should not be too great.

He is simply an official among officials.

Therefore, the officials of the Shangshu Desk called Cheng Yu "Tianguan" and were very awe of him, for fear that the power he used would destroy the fruits of everyone's years of struggle.

He is not only the head of the Shangshutai, but also the top leader of the personnel department. He is responsible for personnel work and specializes in selecting officials. The promotion and demotion are just one word from him. Who dares to offend?

Some people also privately discuss whether Cheng Yu's power is too great. With such a great power, is the emperor relieved?

Some people even tried to secretly submit the report to the emperor, telling the impact of Cheng Yu's excessive power on the Wei Empire, and advised the emperor to be cautious in granting Cheng Yu power.

The emperor did not move, and the memorial was the same as if he had not been on the table.

There is no way, who made Cheng Yu one of the first veterans to defect to Guo Peng, and one of Guo Peng’s closest confidants?

Cheng Yu also did a very good job, looking detached and strictly controlled the Shangshutai by mastering the power of the Ministry of Personnel, and mastered the Shangshutai well. During the war, he coordinated the eight departments of the Shangshutai and shared many important tasks for Guo Peng.

He thought he did a good job.

This time, the same goes for the same.

Even the only Shangshu Pushe Tian Feng was in charge of the Ministry of Works, which was led by Cui Qu's affairs and the issue of fraudulent project funds, so that Tian Feng had to personally participate in the fight to clarify the rumors for the Ministry of Works and ensure the safety of the Ministry of Works and himself.

Although Tian Feng could not refuse Cui Qu's affairs, Tian Feng was also quite annoyed and surprised by this.

But the Ministry of Personnel still watched steadily as a wall.

The Ministry of Personnel is like a white lotus that emerges from the mud without stain, and is washed in the clear water without being charming.

However, soon, as Wang Can, Cao Cao and Zao Zhi counterattacks unfolded, Cheng Yu felt that the direction of the matter was a bit beyond the originally scheduled trajectory.

This was originally a debate on whether to impose commercial taxes, but as a result, it became a fight between each other, as if they wanted to bring out all the dirty things to the world.

You said that if there was such a thing, Cheng Yu wouldn't be able to say anything, but as far as Cheng Yu knew, many things were false and fabricated.

How can this work?

This is the court, not the vegetable market, not the one who fabricates facts to attack your colleagues!

The world has just been unified and there is so much work to do. You are so anxious to fight. Isn’t it too unreasonable?

The great master of Tianguan Cheng Yu decided to do something.

Just as Cheng Yu was about to calm the debate so that he could show his control over the Shangshutai as the Shangshuling, the situation changed again.

It is the memorial issued by an official against Cui Qu.

Before Cheng Yu could show his prestige of the Heavenly Official, this remark made Cheng Yu's face swollen.

I always felt that I had a firm control and had not left my control, and some people deceived the superiors and subordinates, and some people made small moves under his nose. This...

Cheng Yu's face turned red when he learned the news.

He immediately asked someone to check the source of the memorial and learned that the source of the memorial was an official of the Ministry of Finance under Wang Can's subordinates. It must have been instructed by Wang Can, but it may not have nothing to do with Cao Cao and Zao Zhi.

Both belong to the old minister of Yuan Cong, please pay attention when you start! Don’t involve me, can you?!

Cheng Yu was so angry that he was about to eat people.

He glanced at his subordinates with extreme anger.

"Ministry of Personnel! I can actually choose talents for the country, and such a ugly thing can happen! Good! Good! Very good!"

Cheng Yu roared repeatedly.

Seeing them looking down their heads and dared not look up, Cheng Yu slapped the table in anger, then got up and went to the palace to see Guo Peng, preparing to apologize.

Unlike before, Guo Peng slowed down before meeting Cheng Yu, which made Cheng Yu feel very uneasy.

Sure enough, Guo Peng was straight to the point and expressed his dissatisfaction with Cheng Yu.

"Zhongde, I will give you such an important Ministry of Personnel to manage. I hope you can control the general trend of the entire Shangshutai through the Ministry of Personnel, and not let the Shangshutai go beyond control and go to a wrong path. I originally thought you have done well in the past two years, but now it seems that it is not the case."

When Cheng Yu paid homage to Guo Peng, Guo Peng sat firmly on Diaoyutai and handled government affairs slowly. Seeing Cheng Yu kneeling in front of him and apologizing, he slowly said this sentence.

"You don't seem to be optimistic about the Shangshu Desk for me. There seem to be many people doing things under your nose, but you don't know?"

Suddenly, Cheng Yu's cold sweat suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty, old minister... The old minister is in prison. Please punish him!"

Cheng Yu lies on the ground, trembling.

"Zhongde, you should know how much I attach importance to the Ministry of Personnel, how much I attach importance to the appointment and removal of officials, you know I don't like to report, I know how many dirty things are here, and letting you also manage the Ministry of Personnel, to let you control this crucial channel.

You can't let everyone go in. You have to have a choice, you have to have ideas. What's the result? A mere worker, Waigu, can do such a thing under your nose. Zhongde, is it because I am entrusted to you, or are you old?"

Guo Peng's understatement made Cheng Yu feel cold all over.

Could it be...

Could it be...

Will I lose this position?

No!

Cheng Yu quickly raised his head and stared at Guo Peng nervously.

"Your Majesty! The old minister is guilty! The old minister... the old minister... will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Any suspicious person will never let you go!"

Cheng Yu's face was flushed.

Guo Peng shook his head, put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked forward, and helped Cheng Yu up.

"You are old, don't always kneel."

Cheng Yu felt relieved for no reason and looked up at Guo Peng in surprise.

"I know you are busy with government affairs and cannot cover everything. However, I cannot tolerate such people in the Ministry of Personnel to find out all the ghosts and monsters hidden in the Ministry of Personnel, so that I can know which ghosts and monsters are quietly causing trouble."

Guo Peng's voice was still stern, but to Cheng Yu, it sounded like a sound of nature.

"Old minister... obey the order!"

Cheng Yu worships again.
