At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 383

Guo Peng was quite dissatisfied with this incident, and ordered that he be dismissed from office, never to be employed, and gradually alienated from the Wei family. Soon after, he found an excuse to demote Wei Xie to become a county magistrate. , and relegated Wei Ji to the border of Bingzhou as a county magistrate.

And because of this incident, Cai Yan felt sad and ashamed, and happened to have no children with her husband, so in a fit of anger, she asked Guo Peng to make the decision, divorced her husband, and returned to her natal family to serve Cai Yong and Mrs. Cai.

Originally, this marriage was of the nature of marriage, which was decided by Cai Yong. Of course, Cai Yan did not object. Now that her husband is so embarrassing, Cai Yan can't afford to lose this man, and Cai Yong naturally can't afford to lose him. As soon as Guo Peng said it, Cai Yong agreed. He took the initiative to negotiate a divorce with Wei Shi.

After this incident, Cai Yong seemed to have doubts about his own vision of young people. Faced with his daughter's sad eyes, Cai Yong felt guilty and lost face. After that, he rarely recommended young people to Guo Peng, and never gave Cai Yan finds her next home.

And then until now.

During the period, it was not that Cai Yong did not talk about this matter with Guo Peng. Guo Peng also recommended several young talents he was optimistic about to Cai Yong, thinking of finding a husband for Cai Yan, but Cai Yong rejected them all. up.

Cai Yong felt that he owed his daughter, so he still wanted to wait for Cai Yan to think about it before talking about it.

As far as the moment is concerned, Cai Yan still can't see any signs of wanting to open up. On the contrary, she is used to this kind of life, staying at home as a sister-in-law, and then reading, playing the piano and writing articles, living a happy life.

But those days are coming to an end.

The private matter that Guo Peng came to Luoyang to do was related to Cai Yan's younger sister Cai Wan.

After arriving in Luoyang, Guo Peng took the lead to meet the little emperor.

The previous incident seemed to make the little emperor a little uneasy.

Because two of the three people who had been playing mahjong with him died in an instant, and one of them resigned and couldn't come. He couldn't see anyone and felt very uneasy until Guo Peng came here.

Seeing Guo Peng, the little emperor seemed to see his relatives, grabbed Guo Peng's arm and scorned Xun You fiercely at Guo Peng.

"I didn't say anything, but Xun Lingjun just said to obey the order. I didn't say anything, Guo Qing, did Xun Lingjun not obey my orders? I don't like him." Guo Peng smiled.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will reprimand Mr. Xun Ling for His Majesty, but Mr. Xun Ling is also considering His Majesty's comfort. Your Majesty knows that Xun Yu and Zang Hong wanted to murder His Majesty before."

"Huh? Are they going to kill me?"

"Yeah, don't they always ask His Majesty to read more books in front of His Majesty?"

"Yes."

"That's right. They have evil thoughts in their hearts. Seeing that they can't persuade His Majesty to study, they feel that His Majesty is not worthy of being the emperor of Han. That's why they have such an idea. They want to get rid of His Majesty and replace them with another person to be emperor."

As soon as Guo Peng said this, Liu Jian's complexion suddenly tightened.

"Who?"

"Is His Majesty asking about their choice?"

"Yes, they want to replace me with someone else as emperor?"

Guo Peng understood what the little emperor was thinking.

"Yes, this is their plan, so Your Majesty, although what Xun Lingjun did is not appropriate, but Xun Lingjun is dedicated to His Majesty. If possible, I hope His Majesty will not misunderstand Mr. Xun Ling. Xun Lingjun is a loyal minister."

"I see……"

Liu Jian's complexion was a little bit bad, then he looked at Guo Peng, and asked cautiously: "Guo Qing, if someone wants to take my throne as emperor and stop me from being emperor, will you protect me?"

"That's natural."

Guo Peng smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty thinks that without the title of emperor, he can't be as happy as he is now, right?"

"Well... Guo Qing understands me."

Liu Jian looked as if his mind had been punctured, and said with a smile: "I am so happy to be an emperor. I can eat, drink, wear clothes, and play. I am so happy that no one controls me. I want to be an emperor forever, and live like this forever." life, Guo Qing, you will protect me, right?"

Guo Peng nodded.

"Yes, I will protect His Majesty, Your Majesty will always be so happy and happy, I promise."

Chapter 691. Seven hundred without me

It seemed that Liu Jian believed Guo Peng's words without a doubt.

In fact, Liu Jian is indeed a lucky one.

Guo himself was a little envious of him.

As long as you are obedient, you can eat, drink and have fun for the rest of your life without any worries. You don’t have to worry about anything, just eat, drink and play.

No worries about food and clothing, no shortage of clothes, a lot of money to spend, clothes to eat and mouths to eat, this is the dream of many people with no ambitions...

He is such a lucky guy.

It is not popular to kill the former emperor now. What is popular now is to treat the former emperor kindly, enshrine the descendants of the former royal family, and establish two kings and three Ke, so as to flaunt their orthodoxy.

Mr. Guo does not intend to change this popular trend, it is better to preserve this popular trend for the time being.

After all, it is not impossible to give some benefits after taking over the country, and it looks better. If you kill them all, it will not be politically tenable.

Wei Daihan is orthodox, there is no doubt orthodoxy.

But it was limited to the emperor's family.

There are a large number of other clans surnamed Liu, I am afraid that they need to be properly rectified, thinking that they will not be short of food and drink if they continue to be cysticercosis.

After solving the little emperor's worries, Guo Peng came to Xun You's place to see Xun You.

He insisted on killing his uncle, but he felt that it would not be very good, and he might also have some problems in his heart. Guo Peng should help him relieve this problem in time.

Simmering, not soothing.

Will die.

Xun You is a person who is not very good at expressing his feelings, which is quite similar to Xun Yu. The only difference between the two is the difference in understanding current affairs.

"Gongda has worked hard."

Guo Peng handed Xun You a glass of water with his own hands, and Xun You took it with both hands, expressing his gratitude.

"Thank you, King."

"Gongda."

Guo Peng sighed: "Some things, I know you blame me in your heart, such things, indeed, I did something wrong."

Xun You was startled, and immediately took a few steps back and knelt on the ground.

"I dare not blame the king! Absolutely not! The king is right! Please check it out!"

Seeing Xun You's cautious appearance, Guo Peng was very satisfied.

Then he stretched out his hand to help Xun You up.

"Don't be like this, I don't mean anything else, I'm just saying, getting to where I am today is due to the general trend, not my personal wish."

Guo Peng shook his head: "I was born as the son of a county magistrate. I have come to this day by chance. I often feel uneasy in my heart, feeling that I am not worthy of my current status and power, but I know that Wei Guo is not mine alone. Behind me, there are many people following me and supporting me.

My power has grown, and their power has also grown. If they want to grow their power, they must let my power grow. Therefore, I am going up step by step, not out of my original wish, but the trend of the times and the will of the people. to ah. "

"What the king said is true."

Xun You's expression was as usual, and he said: "The direction of the people and the general trend cannot be blocked by individuals. Your Majesty's succession to the King of Wei is not only the glory of the King, but also the glory of our subjects. It is what we all hope for.

I hate Xun Wenruo, Zang Ziyuan and others. They can't see the general trend of the world clearly, and they can't understand the direction of the people. People who do such things are really hateful. "

Hey, Xun You has made rapid progress, and has learned to tell nonsense against his conscience.

Such people have a future.

Guo Peng smiled happily.

"Gongda is a smart person. I like to make achievements with smart people. His name will go down in history. Gongda will continue to work hard. Here I will entrust him to Gongda. I hope that when I come to Luoyang again, Luoyang will be better than Luoyang in the past. Yang is even more majestic."

Guo Peng stood up and walked to Xun You, stretched out his hand and patted Xun You on the shoulder, and left with a smile.

"Congratulations to the king!"

Xun You bowed and walked quickly to the gate of the house. When Guo Peng got into the car, the convoy was gone, and Xun You slowly stood up.

Watching Guo Peng's convoy go away, Xun You's eyes were full of solemnity.

Will you come to Luoyang next time?

At that time, will Guo Peng come as King Wei, or with some other identity?

Just now, Xun You told a lot of nonsense out of conscience, and Guo Peng was also cooperating with him, the two of them tacitly agreed.

But there are some things that both Guo Peng and Xun You know are true, and there is nothing false about them.

It is not only his personal wish, but also the impetus of the people behind him who are getting to this point in the end.

Who doesn't want to be a founding hero?

Who doesn't want to rise from the dragon to the sky?

Who wouldn't want to take themselves and their family a step further?

People's aspirations... It's no longer in Han, but in Wei. I don't know how many people are looking forward to Wei Daihan!

Xun Yu...

Zang Hong...

Your death is not worth it!

With a long sigh, Xun You turned around and returned to the mansion, bid farewell to the past, started to prepare for the arrival of the era of the Great Wei Empire, and also prepared to lead the Xun family to find a new way out in the new era.

The tide is unstoppable.

Xun You has accepted all this from the bottom of his heart.

At the same moment, Guo Peng was sitting in the car, under heavy protection, looking out the car window at the new appearance of Luoyang City after renovation, feeling a little bit of nostalgia in his heart.

Guo Peng has lived in Luoyang for seven years, and during the seven years, he has left countless memories and footprints in Luoyang City.

There are black and warm colors.

After all, he somewhat misses the Luo Yang of that time, the warm-toned things he left with his old friends at that time.

The moment he gave the order to kill Zang Hong, he hesitated. Although he finally made up his mind, the moment of hesitation did not exist.

However, ever since he planned Operation Wo Bingqiu Li 2.0, he knew that he had no way out, he could only go forward, not back.

In this world where [-]-year-olds can kill people, any act of retreating to show weakness is seeking death.

In his position, he has no friends, only those who can be used and those who need to be attacked and eliminated.

Due to power, he must have no friends, he must be lonely, without exception, any exception is just a beautiful fairy tale.

He can only become stronger and stronger, and he can only become more superior.

He can't have many emotions in the world, and he can't have many beautiful things.

He felt that the code name of Guo Peng could actually be discarded. The king of Wei is alive now, and the emperor of Wei will be the future, and Guo Peng is just a dispensable code name.

The higher the status, the more selfless you need to do what this position needs to do, not what you want to do.

So he suddenly recalled what Lu Zhi said to him when dealing with Zhang Jiao under Guangzong City 16 years ago.

Who is not tired of fame and personality?

Lu Zhi is like that, and he will be like that in the end.

After 16 years, Guo Peng deeply understood the meaning of that sentence, understood Lu Zhi's helplessness at that time, and understood that he had no way out.

One step further, the sea and the sky are brighter, one step back, there is no place to die.

How can I refund?

From that day on, there was no way out for me.

As the frame wobbled forward, Guo Peng took a deep breath, closed the curtains, and was no longer nostalgic.

"My lord, where are we going next?"

Beside the car window, the loyal Xu Chu asked Guo Peng about the next itinerary.

Guo Peng thought about it.

"Go to Wei Ya in the north."

Luoyang Beibu Wei, Guo Peng's first official job after his one-year tenure as Lang Guan expired. In this job, Guo Peng made the initial contribution.

After recapturing Luoyang, Guo Peng ordered the reconstruction of Luoyang City. Among the entire construction tasks, the only one that Guo Peng ordered to focus on rebuilding was the Yamen of Beiwei Wei.
