At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Peng nodded: "By the way, you write a warrant to your father and stamp it with the national seal, saying that you allow father to punish officials without reporting it."

"what?"

"Ah, what? You are the emperor, so you can deal with officials. As a father, you can't deal with officials without your permission."

Guo Peng stared round his eyes, very angry.

Guo Jin suddenly felt a feeling of happiness or sadness.

But he has a sense of respect, which comes from his father.

He didn't know what to say better.

Guo Peng chose to leave Luoyang after the whole army contest and start his own national inspection.

Before that, he will attend the military contest to stand for Guo Jin.

It was at this stall that Guo Jun's letter was sent back to Luoyang along with the return ship, and was delivered directly to Guo Jin. Guo Jin opened it up and read it. After thinking for a while, he forwarded the letter to Guo Jin. Peng.

"What? Isn't this a good thing?"

After reading the letter, Guo Peng put it down: "Our military production is indeed very fast. In order to have more sophisticated weapons, we need more experiments and produce more.

With so many weapons, there is no big war now, and the army has no time to use them. The arsenal is full of them, and they have to be prevented from rusting. The annual maintenance is also a big expense. Wouldn’t it be a good thing to sell them? "

"A good thing is a good thing, and my son is willing to cooperate with Ah Jun to sell these accumulated weapons, but the things mentioned in this letter really did not occur to my son."

"You mean, those countries with millions of people?"

"Yes."

Guo Jin nodded: "My son thought that the world is so big, except for Wei, Guishuang, Anxi, and Loumo, there are no other countries worth noting, and it turns out that they are in the land of poison. There are at least two countries with a population of one million.

So the world is so big, how many countries like this are there in more places we don't know?They can't come, and it's hard for us to go there, but one day, the boat will become faster and stronger, and it will be very fast for us or them to come over, won't there be a war? "

Guo Peng smiled.

"Are you worried that there are bigger countries in places you don't know, and when the transportation develops in the future, they will come to trouble us along the sea?"

"Isn't father worried?"

"Was it useful to worry about?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "It's useless to worry, and there's no need to worry. One, you don't know when the ship will reach that point. Two, it's you who discovered them now, not them. Is it more powerful than the discoverer?"

What Guo Peng said made Guo Jin understand.

"What my father said... is indeed reasonable."

"So, as long as you have been sailing and going out all the time, then those you find will not be stronger than you, and you can deal with them."

Guo Peng patted Guo Jin on the shoulder: "Your brothers have to survive outside, they face no fewer problems than you, after a long period of training, they will not be worse than you, look at Ah Jun is already thinking It is about how to make money while inciting the two countries to fight each other for the benefit of the fisherman.

What you took over was the country I gave you, and what they got was built by yourself. You must not feel that you are satisfied with this. They are starting a business outside, and you have to find ways to join in, whether it is paying money or Out of people, you have to join in and use your advantage. "

Guo Jin nodded.

"Father means that I can contribute money and effort, participate in their nation-building actions, and wait for the opportunity to gain benefits?"

"Yes, what do they need, except for what you have to give, you can do business with them, sell the excessive domestic production, and you can feed people and make money. Why not do it? This is no better than yours. Ask them with a straight face, do you want the tribute to come quickly?

You have to know your advantage, you have what your brothers dream of, you provide them with the help they need, and then you can get great benefits from their nation-building war. "

Guo Peng imparted his own wisdom without hesitation.

"indeed so."

Guo Jin agreed with Guo Peng's point of view, and began to think about what kind of posture and model he should use to participate in the country-building process of his brothers and gain benefits from it.

He thought for a while, and then called Su Yuan, the former personal eunuch of Guo Peng who was in charge of the inner court trade, over to him, and had a long discussion with him about related issues.

Then a decision was made to set up an agency of the inner court in the Principality of Xishu.

He wants to participate in Guo Jun's great cause of building a country, and provide him with some paid help—in addition to the previously agreed free help, provide some additional paid value-added services.

He didn't want the court to get involved in some things, so he decided to let the inner court come forward to show that it was a matter between the two of them.

If you have any needs, just tell me, and I will help you deal with them through the channels of the inner court. Anyway, the inner court and the outer court are two economic systems, one has to argue with courtiers, and the other can be decided by himself.

Of course, you have to pay for it.

Not to mention what kind of weapons, supplies, etc., you can ask the army to help you, but you have to pay for the military expenses, not to mention half of the results of our family, at least [-]%, right?

After all, it is also the army we specially sent to help you. If there is no credit, there will be hard work. You are too embarrassed to give nothing, right?

what do you think?

Guo Jin grinned.

You can choose whether to want it or not, but I am sure that you will want it, you will definitely ask me for help, and use my strength to build your country.

Of course, it's not free.

Such a good opportunity, if you invite me, I can't just sit idly by.

The construction and development of the Wei Empire requires a lot of money, no matter how much money there is, I will not think too much.

Chapter 1505 One Thousand 440 The Third Emperor of the Five Wei Empire

At the beginning of October, the whole army contest was officially held.

The generals did not participate in this big competition, but all kinds of people below the middle and lower ranks participated.

The purpose is to create a promotion mechanism in peacetime, which has nothing to do with the generals who have already achieved fame.

The generals turned into judges one after another and joined this grand event as referees.

Then bet with each other on whose subordinates are more ruthless, whose subordinates are more fierce, whose subordinates can get the most honors, and so on.

The main place for holding the martial arts competition of the whole army is in the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall in the northeast area of ​​Luoyang City. There are sufficient venues and equipment for the martial arts competition in the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall.

The soldiers were all excited, as if they had won the victory and the title of honor in their hands.

At the opening ceremony, the Supreme Emperor Guo Peng, who hadn't appeared in public for a long time, reappeared, which caused a burst of surprise and excitement in the army——

Their spiritual leader appeared in front of them again, and they were naturally excited.

Then, Guo Peng officially announced the start of the big competition, and personally presided over the first competition, helping Guo Jin stand on the platform.

He sat in the middle of the high platform, and as the supreme head of state and spiritual leader, Guo Jin, the current emperor, had to stand on the right side to accompany him.

In addition, he arranged his 15-year-old grandson Guo Chengzhi to stand on his left.

The three grandparents and grandchildren are in one place, which shows that the Guo family dynasty attaches great importance to this grand event.

In addition, there is another layer of political meaning, which everyone will probably understand, and everyone is not a fool.

The Supreme Emperor Guo Peng wanted his eldest grandson Guo Chengzhi to be the successor of Emperor Guo Jin. In the future, his eldest grandson Guo Chengzhi has a great possibility to become the third emperor of the Wei Empire.

Judging from the fact that the Supreme Emperor started training the current emperor very early, it is not incomprehensible to train the eldest grandson of the emperor earlier in case he will inherit the throne in the future.

Of course, in various senses, Guo Chengzhi has no competitors. As long as he does not have any problems, the emperor's position is guaranteed.

Because his eldest brother is only three years old now, it is impossible to become his competitor.

If Guo Jin had raised Guo Chengzhi the way Guo Peng had raised him, he would have been the unshakable heir to the empire and almost ready to take over the throne before his younger brothers had grown up.

The three concubines that Guo Jin brought into the mansion a few years ago are all nobles in the palace now. The three of them are quite competitive, and they became pregnant one after another in the second year of marriage.

Not to mention them, even Cai Wan is pregnant again, and Guo Jin will soon have four more children.

He originally had three children, one son and two daughters, and now he has seven children directly.

On the ninth day of October in the 11th year of Yande, Xin Xianying, who was first found to be pregnant, gave birth first, and gave birth to Guo Jin's eldest son.

Twenty days later, on October 20, 11th year of Yande, Zhao Yun's daughter Zhao Kelan gave birth to Guo Jin and gave birth to her second son.

On November 11th of the [-]th year of Yande, Zhang Zhao's daughter, Zhang Muqing, gave birth to Guo Jin's eldest daughter.

On the third day of the first month of the 12th year of Yande, Cai Wan gave birth again and gave birth to Guo Jin's second son.

Within a few months, Guo Jin gave birth to four more children, and all of them were delivered smoothly. The mother and child were safe, which became a good story for a while.

This also made a certain contribution to public opinion for Guo Jin to successfully take over the power vacated by Guo Peng who abdicated - the crown prince has many sons and many blessings, and the royal family has many bloodlines and strong incense, which is a great thing.

Guo Jin's status is stable, and there are also factors in this regard.

But also because of this, the children are still young and haven't grown up, so it is impossible to threaten Guo Chengzhi's status. Unless there are major court turmoil in the Wei Empire in the past ten years that threaten Guo Chengzhi's status, they will have the upper hand possible.

But as long as Guo Peng is still alive, this possibility is equivalent to no.

Looking at Guo Peng's energetic appearance on the high platform, everyone felt that Guo Peng would not die so easily.

As long as he is still alive, the Wei Empire will be as stable as Mount Tai, and there will be no problems at all. Unless he takes the initiative to do something, no one else can do things under his nose.

"satisfied?"

Guo Peng sat on the high platform and turned his head to look at Guo Jin who was standing aside showing filial piety and respect.

"I couldn't be more satisfied. As soon as my father appeared, the army, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, was excited. Everyone tried their best to show themselves. Putting this kind of energy on the battlefield must be able to destroy everything, so it is the father who dominates. The world, not other people rule the world."

Guo Peng looked away, looked at the soldiers on the competition stage who were fighting fiercely, and then turned his head to look at Guo Chengzhi, the eldest grandson standing on the other side.

"Father?"

Guo Peng smiled slightly, squeezed Guo Chengzhi's hand, and then looked at the soldiers competing below.

"A Jin, you are destined not to have the prestige like me. Founding the country and building the army, these two feats cannot be reproduced and inherited, so I can do whatever I want to the generals, but you, Destined to be tied down."

Guo Jin was silent for a while.

"Father really still thinks that his son did not do well?"

"Qualified, but not excellent. Taking me as the benchmark, it is impossible to be excellent."

"........."

Guo Jin had nothing to say, but nodded silently.

Presumably, he himself could notice some problems, but he just noticed that Gui noticed, whether it can be changed is another matter. For himself, some things cannot be changed, so he can only bite the bullet and do it.

Guo Peng looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Is being an emperor as pleasant as you thought?"

"My son never felt that being an emperor was a pleasant thing."

Guo Jin shook her head: "It's just that I had some fantasies at the beginning. I felt that I could do whatever I wanted, and I could do whatever I wanted, and solve all the injustices I saw. But when I ascended the throne, I found that things are often not that simple."

"Being an emperor is as difficult as it is said, but as simple as it is said."

Guo Peng sighed and said: "If you want to be happy, it's okay. Give the power to the powerful minister and let him manage it on your behalf, then you can be the emperor with ease, and you can do whatever you want, women, wealth, rare treasures , you have everything you want.

However, for an emperor who wants to do something, that is simply impossible. Not everyone can bear the feeling of losing power. Except for that option, the only thing left is to hold the power in his hands. The road can go. "

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin.

"It seems that you chose the second way."

"Yes."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Then don't complain, just keep going. You can last as long as you can. When you can't hold on, think about what your father has done for you and make the most correct choice."

Guo Jin turned to look at Guo Chengzhi who was standing aside.

"My son understands."

"By the way, after the martial arts competition is over, I will leave Luoyang and start traveling around the world. Chengzhi is 15 years old, and he has almost learned the knowledge from books. The rest cannot be learned from books. I will take him away. Luoyang, tour the world."

Guo Chengzhi was taken aback.

Guo Jin didn't expect Guo Peng to say that.

"Father, Chengzhi him..."

"When you were fifteen or sixteen years old, my father took you by his side to guide you personally, but my father always felt regretful that he could not take you to travel all over the world, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles. You have read a lot, but you haven’t traveled much.”

Guo Peng turned to look at Guo Chengzhi: "To be a good emperor, you must at least have a basic understanding of your own country. You know it through the map. I hope Chengzhi can walk it by himself."

Guo Jin hesitated for a moment.
