But he knew that he had no way out, the only way to go.

Who made him Guo Peng's son.

Chapter 1613 One thousand five hundred and thirty three I have absolutely no good reputation

Guo Peng arrived at Jiaozhou along the ancient trade route. After crossing the difficult road in the mountains, he arrived at Jiaozhi County, where the capital of Jiaozhou is located, and saw Man Chong whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Ever since he transferred Man Chong from his side to other places as governor, Man Chong has successively served as Governor of Yuzhou, Governor of Yizhou, and Governor of Jiaozhou. The three governors have been cleaning up the chaos, and by the way, pulling out the initially settled areas. into the track of development.

It can be said that Man Chong is a rare minister who governs the world, and he has made great achievements through hard work.

Guo Peng wanted to transfer him back to the central government several times, but he always felt that no one could appease the local area better than him, so he gave up thinking about it because of the military situation. The same is true for Guo Jin. There were barbarians who had never been attached to them, and the Wei army's extermination campaign had not yet come to an end, and the security war in Jiaozhou was going on fiercely, so there was no thought of changing the candidate for the governor.

Except for those who absolutely believe in some important and powerful governor positions, most people are really unwilling to give them.

Man Chong is absolutely trustworthy, and it is acceptable in all aspects to let him be the real power governor.

I just don't know if he himself feels tired, or if he ever wants to go back to the center.

This time Guo Peng wanted to meet Man Chong, and he also had the purpose of appeasing him.

Seeing Man Chong this time, Guo Peng was quite moved.

Man Chong is in his 40s, and his sideburns have turned white. It is obvious that he is exhausted from years of hard work, but his eyes are still piercing, which shows his extraordinary shrewdness.

"Bonin, long time no see."

Guo Peng held Man Chong's hand.

Man Chong looked a little excited.

"I haven't seen the Supreme Emperor for a long time. The Supreme Emperor is still handsome, but the minister is old."

"Hahahaha, you are only in your 40s, and I am in my 50s, how can you say you are old?"

Guo Peng laughed and walked side by side with him, entered the city together, came to his official office and sat down, talking slowly.

Talk about the past, talk about the present, talk about business, talk about military affairs, and talk about friendship.

Man Chong is Man Chong after all, and instead of insignificant greetings, he directly took this meeting as an opportunity to report on his work, and reported what he had done to Guo Peng on the spot.

"Now Jiaozhou is generally stable, and the rebellion in the west and central has disappeared. If there are still some rebellions, it is in the eastern mountainous area, where there are some Yue people and the remnants of Shanyue bandits.

They gathered in groups in the mountains and forests to resist the government army, and often robbed houses and people, doing all kinds of crimes. I organized the police to assist the local government army to encircle and suppress them many times. "

Guo Peng nodded, and said with a smile: "You have done a good job, but you have done so many things in such a limited time. If you want to talk about the merits of the world's assassins, you will be second to Bo Ning. Who dares to say that?" I must be the first?

Now that the security war in Yunzhou is over, the emperor will definitely put the unnecessary power in Yunzhou to you, and help you to wipe out all the barbarians who don't want to surrender as soon as possible, and then Jiaozhou can also be peaceful , At that time, it will be time for you to return to Luoyang. "

Man Chong's eyes moved.

"Luoyang... I have been in administration abroad for so many years. At the beginning, I did have the idea of ​​making great contributions and returning to the center, but as time went by, this idea gradually faded. No matter where I am, I can do good things and serve as an official. It is enough to benefit one party.”

Guo Peng looked at Man Chong and nodded.

"Being an official will benefit one party. Bo Ning, your words are embarrassing to those corrupt and mediocre officials. If everyone can be like you, how can there be so many things in the world?"

"This is what the minister should do."

Man Chong is very humble: "I am very satisfied if I can do things and benefit one party."

"You are satisfied, but I am not satisfied."

Guo Peng patted the back of Man Chong's hand: "I've always felt that a person can't stay in a position for a long time, especially a position with real power. If he does it for a long time, there will definitely be problems. But for me, Wei, Luoyang officials have an even bigger problem.

I know that in the eyes of the officials, I am a tyrannical king, and how many officials have died in my hands, but if I don't kill them, the state of Wei will be destroyed. I have told the emperor my thoughts, my It means that every once in a while, there will be a big move.

Officialdom is like a tank of water, which looks clear to the bottom, but if the water in the tank is not replaced in time, the water will still look clear, but it will smell stinky, and the inside is even more filthy, with many mosquitoes in it Reproduction, looking from a distance, the atmosphere is smoky!

So I said, the water in this tank should be changed frequently, and the officials in Luoyang City should also be changed frequently. Upset and restless! "

Man Chong listened to Guo Peng's murderous words, and suddenly felt that even if Guo Peng abdicated, he would still be the No.

"Bo Ning, I know that I have absolutely no good reputation. After I die, within 100 years, even if Wei Guo is still there, there will be people who will slander me openly and secretly, saying that I am not good here, not good there, saying I'm brutal and call me a bloody butcher."

Surprised.

"Who dares to do this? It's life and death! No matter who it is, no matter how long it has been, His Majesty will always be the founding king of the Wei Kingdom, and will always be admired by future generations! Anyone who dares to criticize His Majesty is seeking his own death!"

"really?"

Guo Peng smiled disdainfully: "Will the family members of the officials who asked me to dismiss me say good things about me? Will the family members of the offenders who were killed by me but did not kill their family members say good things about me? Bo Ning, you Don't underestimate these people.

Not now, but this hatred, they will remember it and pass it down from generation to generation, why?Because I drove them into the abyss, I prevented them from exploiting the common people and living in luxury, how much hatred is this?Can they let go?

I have imprisoned them for three generations, but it is only three generations. After three generations, they will be released from the imprisonment and return to the common people and the court. I don't know how long it will take for someone to become prosperous again. What will they think of me? "

Man Chong opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

What Guo Peng said is indeed true.

How cruel is he to punish those criminals? He often destroys his family and kills his clan, and imprisons three generations from taking the imperial examination. Miserable.

As long as these people can live to pass on the family, can they say good things about him, the emperor?

Perhaps it will be a long time later, at least Guo Jin and Guo Chengzhi will never allow such arguments to appear, because they were all taught by Guo Peng.

However, the monarchs of successive dynasties only knew him as the founding emperor in portraits and books. How many people would have any feelings for him?

As long as it doesn't involve political turmoil, how many people will take care of it casually?

The people who blacked out Zhu Yuanzhang were the literati in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Many of the rumors passed down to later generations were made up by the literati in the Ming Dynasty.

For political purposes, Kangxi also gave a general commentary of "Long Tang and Song Dynasties, far ahead of Han and Tang Dynasties". The official "History of Ming Dynasty" also helped to cover up the utterly unconscionable things that the Ming Dynasty vassals did.

Guo Peng didn't expect to be able to say anything good about himself at all. Even if everything he did was revealed to the world after thousands of years, the evaluation would definitely be polarized.

"I never expect this group of people to say good things about me. If they say good things about me, there is a problem. It's not their problem, it's my problem. I must have done something to make them happy. I Can it be done? They are happy, but I am not."

Guo Peng laughed and said, "Bo Ning, the reason Wei is strong is because these people are unhappy. If these people are happy and the monarch and ministers are harmonious, Wei will perish within 100 years."

Man Chong was very impressed.

"Your Majesty, between the monarch and his ministers, why is this so?"

"Bonin, do you know what book I like to read the most?"

Guo Peng looked at Man Chong.

Man Chong shook his head.

"Han Feizi, do you know which sentence I like most in Han Feizi?"

Guo Peng laughed loudly and said, "Every day we fight a hundred battles."

Surprised.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

"I don't need to say more about Bo Ning. Confucianism is a good theory. It puts a veil on the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. It looks hazy and interesting, but that veil is still a veil after all. , take off that layer of veil, the things inside that layer have not changed at all."

Guo Peng clenched Man Chong's hand: "Bo Ning, a man should not be without power for a day. Local power is not real power, but central power is real power. Go back if you have the opportunity. Your talents should be displayed in the central government. But you have to pay attention, Emperor, I taught it all by myself."

Looking at the meaningful smile on Guo Peng's face, Man Chong sighed deeply.

This emperor is unparalleled in the world, unprecedented, and may be unprecedented. He can't hide anything from him. It's really terrible to be his courtier.

Fortunately, he has already abdicated, and his son is not him after all.

Moreover, how could Man Chong not want to return to the central government?

Are you going crazy?

He is so capable and talented, and he should have used his ability and talent in the center of the empire to realize his political ambitions, instead of being a firefighter in the border areas.

It's just that the firefighters can't do a good job, so how can they enter the center?

The emperor asked himself to fight the fire because he believed in his own ability. This is trust, what a rare trust!

Without this kind of trust, how can we return to the central government to be a high-ranking official?

Trust!The most important thing is trust!

Without trust, what if you return to the central government?

So even if you continue to work hard outside, Man Chong must persist and insist on having this kind of precious trust.

But no matter how you say it, this time, it should be safe to return to the center.

What Yande Dynasty failed to do, Xingyuan Dynasty should be able to do well, isn't it?

For so many years, I have restrained my desires and insisted on being an official with a righteous attitude and a clean style to benefit one party.

Man Berning, ambitious!

Chapter 1614. One thousand five hundred and thirty four This seems to be the first time our father and son get together alone, right?

For the next few days, Guo Peng stayed in Jiaozhou, waiting for the arrival of his son Guo Qiong, while visiting Jiaozhou.

This legendary land did not really shine because of its proximity to the sea until more than 1000 years later.

And before that, it hadn't received real attention for a long time, and it had always been the legendary [Wild Land], a place where exiles would go.

This is a pity for this land.

For the Wei Empire, which is facing the invasion of the Little Ice River, it is very meaningful to develop the Jiaozhou area early and make it an important production base.

For this reason, Guo Peng also invested huge sums of money and a large number of troops to carry out security warfare here for a long time.

The security war between Yunzhou and Jiaozhou was the longest war since the pacification of Jiangnan. After Zhang Liao's war in Yangzhou to deal with the Shanyue bandit group ended, the security war between Yunzhou and Jiaozhou has been going on.

Now that the Yunzhou security war in charge of Li Gan is over, the Jiaozhou security war in charge of Tai Shici and Xu Huang has also entered the later stage.

The historical legacy of the Han Dynasty in Jiaozhou, the descendants of the many forces of the ancient Yue people have been wiped out by the Wei army in sevens and eighties.

In the later period of Guo Peng's reign, Xu Huang, who was originally Zhang Liao's subordinate, gradually took over Zhang Liao's previous position, cooperated with Tai Shici's navy, and took on the heavy responsibility of Jiaozhou's security war. a name.

Out of the protection of Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao had been effectively relieved of his military power by Guo Peng, and instead began to assume the main responsibility for communicating with the Roman Empire officials.

As long as the official visitors of the Roman Empire came, they would first go to Jianye City to find Zhang Liao, and then go to Luoyang through Zhang Liao's introduction and protection.

Zhang Liao himself was a little baffled, thinking that he, a general, started doing diplomatic work out of nowhere.

But it seems that Zhang Liao's transfer is quite successful now, at least it has been a long time since a courtier asked Guo Peng to transfer Zhang Liao away from the southeast and let him return to the court to find a job.

General Xu Huang of the Mesozoic Era took over the real power of Zhang Liao, and together with Tai Shici, the commander of the navy, launched a strike against the local separatist forces in Jiaozhou, went deep into the mountains, old forests and other inaccessible places, and carried out small wars at the level of plowing and sweeping caves.

Guo Peng's will to develop Jiaozhou is resolute, and he resolutely does not allow any force to intervene in Jiaozhou and hinder his overall plan.

With the progress of the Jiaozhou Public Security War, Jiaozhou's farming work has also achieved a considerable degree of victory, especially in the Red River Plain, that is, in the area of ​​​​Jiaozhi County, the work of farming has already achieved initial results.

The work of garrisoning fields with a population of tens of thousands of people is in full swing, and grain is continuously stored. Jiaozhou already has a considerable amount of grain, which is enough to support the 10-level Wei army to fight in Jiaozhou.

Guo Peng also took the time to meet with Tai Shici and Xu Huang, encouraged them, and commended them for their fighting. Same, he went to the barracks to have a meal with the soldiers, and showed his face. Jiaozhou did the same.

The rest is that he has a rare leisure time, found a sunny beach on the coast, and brought his family to cook barbecue and eat seafood on the sunny beach.

Guo Peng stayed in Jiaozhou until early April, waiting for his third son Guo Qiong and a huge fleet.

When he saw Guo Qiong, he found that the third son seemed quite lost.

Unlike Guo Jun who had a feeling of reluctance but also a beautiful longing before leaving, Guo Qiong only had reluctance and no longing for the future.

When he saw Guo Peng and Cao Lan, his eyes were red. Seeing Cao Lan brought tears to his eyes, he went up and hugged his son.
