十七年，進士薛敷教劾吳時來，南京御史王麟趾、黃仁榮疏論臺規，辭皆侵國．國憤，連疏力詆，幷及主事饒伸．伸方攻大學士王錫爵，公議益不直國．國性木強，遇事輒發．數與言者為難，無大臣度，以故士論不附． In the seventeenth year the new jinshi Xue Fujiao impeached Wu Shilai, and Nanjing Censors Wang Linzhi and Huang Renrong submitted memorials on censorate regulations that all touched Guo. Enraged, Guo answered with successive attacks, also dragging in Director Rao Shen. Shen was then attacking Grand Secretary Wang Xijue, and public opinion turned further against Guo. Stubborn by nature, Guo burst out whenever provoked. He repeatedly clashed with the censorate and lacked a grand minister's breadth, and scholarly opinion did not support him.
