At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Are the heirs of the big chaebols in the so-called democratic and free countries really running for democratic elections?

The primogeniture system is still common in the world and has its practical significance and practical value. Guo Peng will not reject it, but will support it, use it, establish Guo Jin's status, and eliminate unnecessary noise for him.

As long as he grows up normally, Guo Peng will not shake his position and will protect him.

For now, Guo Jin's growth is very normal.

Although Guo Peng is often away on expeditions, whenever he has time, he will pay close attention to Guo Jin's education. When he is away, Cao Lan will follow Guo Peng's wishes and pay close attention to Guo Jin's studies.

With Lu Yu as his schoolmate, the two of them will follow Cai Yong to learn the Five Classics of Confucianism, and Guo Hong to learn the essence of law, and then remember to practice martial arts, learn swordsmanship, learn spears, learn horseback riding, exercise physical strength, etc. wait.

What to eat is stipulated by Guo Peng himself. Big fish and meat are not allowed, high oil and high salt are not allowed, meat and vegetables are mixed, fish and shrimp are eaten more, and meals should be chewed slowly, and every bite of rice should be chewed at least thirteen times Swallow it again, don't waste a grain of rice, beat it if you catch it.

For all aspects of discipline and counseling, Guo Peng fully followed Lu Zhi's teaching of himself, and planned a comprehensive education plan for Guo Jin, cultivating his masculinity, pride, courage, tenacity, and tenacity .

Anyway, Guo Jin has been clearly arranged by Guo Peng in all aspects these years, even with his schoolmate Lu Yu.

Elite education may not necessarily be able to cultivate the best talents, but there is no doubt that most of the best talents are cultivated by elite education.

Spending money, materials, and teachers, and doing everything possible to train them, at least no waste will be produced.

Moreover, Guo Peng believes that as a father, he is not disqualified in cultivating his son.

As long as he has time, he will spend time with his sons, check their homework, eat with them, teach them martial arts, tell them stories on the battlefield, and take them to the military camp to see the world and open their eyes. He thinks that he is doing everything right. of.

Under such a training strategy, Guo Jin will not grow crooked. As for whether he can become a qualified heir, it is not yet possible to say for sure.

The second son, Guo Jun, was only nine years old. The third son was born to Cao Lan, and the fourth son was born to Mi Zhen. The third son was named Guo Qiong, the fourth son was named Guo Hu, the fifth daughter and the fourth son were born. The six daughters are still young, so they only took nicknames but not big ones.

They are still young, no matter their age, performance or status are not enough to compete with Guo Jin, so Guo Jin is Guo Peng's preferred successor.

Once the national inheritance is established, the successor is established, and the safety of the next generation is ensured, then the internal cohesion of the power group will be further enhanced. This is a very meaningful behavior for Guo Peng.

At the family reunion, everyone was of a very high nature. Guo Peng deliberately let Guo Jin show his talent, express himself in front of everyone, and get applause from all the halls.

Everyone was bright in their hearts. Guo Peng's preferred successor was Guo Jin, not other children. Other children were not qualified to compete with Guo Jin at all.

This is really an excellent time, a time without any worries.

So whether it was Tian Feng, Mi Zhu, or Cao Cao, they all realized what Guo Peng wanted to do and why they did it at this time.

Chapter 469. 460 Nine I am your monarch, not your friend

After the banquet ended in the evening, Guo Peng took Mi Zhu and Tian Feng's hands to talk to them and explain things.

Tell Tian Feng to run the affairs of Jizhou well, tell Mi Zhu to run the affairs of the establishment of the navy, send this to that, and finally Cao Cao is left.

"Jiang... Zifeng, what do you think about the promotion of the imperial court?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Peng cautiously.

"Brother, I won't tell you lies. I want to accept the promotion of the imperial court."

Guo Peng gave a quasi-word.

Cao Cao was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Really?"

"real."

Guo Peng said: "The current situation has become like this. I need to go a step further and force myself to stay where I am. I can't conform to people's hearts. People's hearts are the most important thing, and people's hearts need me to be like this."

"..."

Cao Cao sighed, nodded, and said in a low voice: "This is the first time since the establishment of my dynasty, Zifeng, this matter is of great importance, it is no small matter."

"Don't worry, brother, every time I take a step, I will seriously examine myself. I will think carefully about how to go and whether I should go."

Guo Peng smiled: "Brother, Jizhou is very important to me. I must build Jizhou into a granary in Hebei. The harvest of Jizhou's grain determines many of my future plans. You must manage Jizhou well for me. It’s a good strategy for farming.”

"I understand, don't worry, Zifeng, by the way, there is something I want to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"Someone from Jingzhou brought me a letter."

"Jingzhou?"

Guo Peng frowned: "We have never had any contact with people from Jingzhou, how could people from Jingzhou come to you?"

"It's like this. Cai Mao, the important minister of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, is my old friend. I don't know if you still remember that we met when he traveled to Runan from Jingzhou to study, but that was more than 20 years ago. , you may not remember."

Cao Cao smiled.

"Cai Mao? Cai Degui?"

"It's him."

Cao Cao said, "Earlier, Cai Mao sent someone to look for me and send me a letter. In the letter, he recalled our past contacts, and then said, I hope I can speak good words to him from your side."

As Cao Cao said, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bosom and handed it to Guo Peng. Guo Peng opened it up to have a look, leaned less, and smiled.

"Brother, now it seems that our victory is not for nothing. Once the victory is won, the prestige will come, and the prestige will come, and the people will come."

"That's natural."

Cao Cao also smiled: "Cai Degui obviously hopes to use me to establish a relationship with you. His purpose is also very clear. He is worried that if we go south to Jingzhou in the future, he will not be able to escape there. It is very big, with a lot of land and houses, and I went there 20 years ago."

Guo Peng nodded.

"This is a bit interesting. To make connections in advance, the powerful families in these places are really sharp enough. I have just started farming in Runan, and they are ready to surrender?"

Guo Peng sneered, and returned the bamboo slips to Cao Cao: "Brother, please write back, just say, I know about this matter, and I think there is nothing wrong with continuing to communicate with Mrs. Cai. You can continue to communicate with Mrs. Cai. comminicate."

Cao Cao understood what Guo Peng meant.

"Okay, I see, I'll reply right away, and..."

"What else?"

Guo Peng looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also looked at Guo Peng, opened his mouth as if he still had something to ask, but the words were swallowed back.

"No, it's nothing, then... I'm going back to the house to do some business."

"it is good."

Cao Cao habitually saluted Guo Peng and left slowly.

Looking at the back of Cao Cao leaving, Guo Peng felt a sense of distance for some reason.

After returning from this battle, some people around him seemed to be separated from Guo Peng overnight.

This is the case with Cao Cao, and so is Zang Hong. If he hadn't drank some wine and brought up the topic himself, he probably wouldn't have said those words.

Guo Peng knew why.

Victory comes with growth, with ascension, with increased power.

With the increase of power and prestige, people who dared to get close to me before are now hesitant to move forward, have some worries, and dare not approach, and relatives who were close before now dare not continue to treat them as easily as before. There is more caution between words and less relaxation.

This is especially true for Guo Jiaxizhong and Chen Gong.

A little bit of loneliness...

Guo Peng grinned.

this is correct.

This is very good, there is no need to change, let alone go back to the beginning, otherwise, I don't know if my prestige is not enough, or they are too indulgent.

How can a person in a high position be joking and not in good shape?

Guo Peng didn't expect them to continue to call his name at all. Guo Peng very much looked forward to the day when this group of people changed their tune and called themselves "Duke Wei".

I am your monarch, not your friend. For me, such things as friends are already a burden.

You must wake up in time, discover it in time, and be clear in your heart.

This cognition determines the degree of loyalty and Guo Peng's status in their hearts. This is a subconscious manifestation and a direct manifestation of the monarch's prestige.

I want you to surrender, I want you to surrender, and I don't need anything else.

If you can't do it, I will do it for you.

Guo Peng withdrew his cold gaze, turned around and entered the inner hall, and within a few steps, he saw Guo Dan who seemed to be waiting for him in the inner hall.

"Father."

Guo Peng stepped forward to salute Guo Dan.

"Xiao...Zifeng, you have worked hard. You have been conquering several times, going back and forth between Henan and Hebei, are you tired?"

Guo Dan seemed to want to call out Guo Peng's nickname, but when the words came to his lips, they became table characters again.

Guo Peng didn't say anything, and said with a slight smile, "For the world, don't be tired."

Guo Dan was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly remembered that one night 18 years ago, in his study, Guo Peng also said similar words.

At that time, it was for the family, but now, it is for the world.

Guo Peng has grown up, and a small family can no longer accommodate him. What he focuses on is the world, not a small family.

His own son has grown into a giant, and he is no longer the child who tried his best to enter Luoyang Taixue.

The story of the father and son's journey along the way kept flashing in Guo Dan's mind, which made him very emotional.

However, he stayed here deliberately, not to talk about the past with Guo Peng, but to let Guo Peng worry about some trivial matters.

Although he didn't think it was appropriate to do so, usually, he couldn't find Guo Peng's free time.

too busy.

"Zifeng, I have an unfeeling request for my father, I wonder if you can agree."

"Unkind request?"

Guo Peng smiled and shook his head: "Father, why should it be like this between you and my father and son? No matter how great the son's contribution is, he is still the father's son."

Guo Dan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Smile relaxed.

To be honest, standing in front of my son now, even though I am his father, I always feel a little inexplicably guilty, feeling that my son's aura is too strong, and I can't look directly at him.

He realized that his son was already the strongest vassal in the world, a figure who could bring huge influence to the Han world with every word and deed.

Now that he has his son's approval, he is actually a little relaxed.

"Yes, yes."

Guo Dan nodded with a smile: "Actually, it's really not a big deal, it's just a trivial matter. You can make a little arrangement here."

"Father, please speak."

Guo Peng said respectfully.

"It's...it's about Yang'er."

Guo Dan said his intentions.

It was for Guo Peng's half-brother, Guo Yang.

Chapter 470 Are you really the sons of the same father?

Guo Yang and Guo Peng are six years old and 24 this year.

Five years ago, when he was in Qingzhou, Guo Dan talked about a marriage for Guo Yang. The woman was the daughter of a small family in Qingzhou. Since the marriage, Guo Yang has given birth to two daughters, who are also fathers.

But what troubled Guo Dan was that he was his own son, but Guo Peng was determined to be self-motivated and smart and precocious, while Guo Yang was not smart since he was a child.

At the age of six, he could only recognize dozens of characters, and his reading progress was much slower than other peers. Moreover, he was not only stupid, but also had a bad habit of being spoiled by the Yang family. Control Guo Yang.

When Guo Peng began to shine in the world, Guo Yang was still idle in his hometown, he didn't like reading, he liked to steal chickens and dogs.
