At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

For Cao Lan's inadvertent jealousy, he can only alleviate it with more companionship and intimacy.

Anyway, a man's mouth is a deceiving ghost, and Guo Peng's mouth can even deceive a deceiving ghost, so he can't deal with Cao Lan?

It's just that Guo Peng is not very willing, because he really loves Cao Lan and has deep feelings for her, while the other concubines, to put it bluntly, are just tools to maintain relationships between him and the major families and major forces Humans, and reproductive machines.

Political marriage is very ugly, mixed with the exchange of various interests.

Guo Peng thought this way more than once, so even though they are all beautiful, they are gentle and virtuous in front of him, but Guo Peng understands this too well.

Cao Lan's temperament is gentle. She has known Guo Peng for 20 years and has been together for 15 years. Guo Peng is worried that Cao Lan will not be able to control the scene when he is not around, so he has been at family gatherings many times. Deliberately emphasize Cao Lan's mistress status.

He wants to establish an unshakable position for Cao Lan, an unshakable position in his heart.

For him and Cao Lan, this is very important.

The stability of the backyard is related to many things, especially these concubines are all backed by their natal families. When Guo Peng deals with their problems, they must also take their natal families into consideration, which is related to the harmony of the whole group.

The handling of this issue consumed the time and possibility that Guo Peng might develop feelings for them.

He doesn't have many feelings, less time, and he is not willing to be a passionate person. Talking about the relationship between men and women is a very luxurious and ridiculous thing for him.

Guo Peng is also very clear about their jealousy of paying attention to other women instead of them, either intentionally or unintentionally.

This may become a problem, and it is also a problem that cannot be reconciled. It is a problem that will inevitably come from taking the convenient road in politics.

Even so, as long as there is a need, Guo Peng will not stop this kind of political marriage. As long as the interests are sufficient, it is easier to deal with one person than a family, and it is easier to deal with one person than a bunch of people.

But the further you go, the less likely this is.

As he grows older, Guo Peng's own desires decrease on the one hand, his energy is weak on the other hand, and the children are gradually growing up, and they can share the burden for him on the other hand.

When the candidate for the Crown Prince of Wei is confirmed, Guo Jin will become an important assistant to share the firepower for him. The so-called father and son soldiers, Guo Peng is ready for Guo Jin to take over his difficulties and become a tool man.

To be the son of someone Guo, or even the heir, one must be prepared to be involuntary.

Guo Jin is already 14 years old, and Guo Peng was already studying under Lu Zhi when he was 14 years old, and he has already faced the ups and downs of Luoyang, the imperial capital, alone.

Guo Jin has been sheltered under his wing for far too long, and it's time to let her out to some wind and rain.

So when he learned that the court's fourth wave of awarding teams had crossed the Yellow River and headed for Yecheng, one night, Guo Peng called Guo Jin into his study.

"The envoys from the imperial court have crossed the Yellow River and came to Yecheng. This time, my father will not refuse, but will accept it, establish the Dukedom of Wei, and become the monarch of the Kingdom of Wei, and you are the crown prince of the Kingdom of Wei."

Guo Peng put down all his work, sat face to face with Guo Jin, and had a few formal conversations between father and son.

Speaking of which, the number of conversations like this is not many, counting this one, it is the third time.

For the first time, Guo Peng told Guo Jin that he would live a life involuntarily in the future.

For the second time, Guo Peng told Guo Jin what feuding a state is.

This time, Guo Peng told Guo Jin that he would become the prince and heir of Wei.

Guo Jin was taken aback, sitting opposite Guo Peng, not knowing how to answer.

"You are already 14 years old. When your father was your age, he had already killed someone. He had traveled a long way. He was studying in Luoyang alone, and became his disciple under the name of the great Confucian Lu Zhi. It was very difficult. , you are clear."

Guo Jin pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

"You are no longer a child, and my father does not allow you to continue to be a child. You are the eldest son of my father. You have no choice. The crown prince of Wei is you. Once you become the crown prince of Wei, you will definitely face Everyone's scrutiny, everyone will look at you as the father's heir, and you will have no choice."

Guo Peng reached out and poured Guo Jin a drink, and handed it to him.

Guo Jin took the drink with both hands, did not drink, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Guo Peng.

"Father, can the son really do this well?"

Guo Jin is not a child, he knows everything he should know, Guo Peng does not treat him as a child, but communicates with him as an adult.

"Ajin, I told you for my father, you have no choice, just like being a father back then, you also have no choice for being a father. You are the heir, and you must do a good job as the heir of your father's great foundation."

When Guo Peng said this, Guo Jin's expression became even more tense.

Seeing him like this, Guo Peng suddenly smiled.

Guo Jin felt strange.

"Why is father laughing?"

"so similar."

Guo Peng said with a smile: "18 years ago, when Wei's father left his hometown and was about to go to Luoyang, your grandfather also talked with Wei's father in the same way, telling each other about his worries and doubts. the father as a child, so the father does not treat you as a child."

"Father...how did he think of going to Luoyang?"

Guo Jin asked suddenly.

Guo Peng was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had never told Guo Jin how he got here.

This is very important to Guo Jin, because he needs to know how his father got to this position step by step.

He lacks the necessary experience, so he can't get this experience, but at least he needs to know how his father climbed up step by step with blood and tears in his eyes.

"The story of being a father is not good at all, except for blood and tears. If you want to hear it, I will tell you as a father. After you listen, it may be very beneficial to you."

Guo Peng smiled slightly, took a sip of the sweet drink, opened his mouth slowly, and told his story slowly.

Chapter 478. 470 I am not worthy of Feng Gong's reward

Guo Peng told Guo Jin about his background and the difficulties of the Guo family.

Talk about how he married his mother, how he went to Luoyang, how he met Cai Yong, and how he met Lu Zhi as a teacher.

How to overthrow Yang Qiu, how to become famous in the capital, how dangerous it was at that time, etc.

Regarding his son, Guo Peng didn't need to hide too much, he could tell everything except what he had to say.

This story is very long and cannot be finished in one night. Guo Peng spent several nights telling this story to Guo Jin.

Break apart the benevolence, righteousness, rationality and belief that he has learned, let him see the core of benevolence, righteousness, rationality and belief in the real society, and let him know how these things are used and planned.

What Cai Yong could not teach him will be taught by his father.

Seeing Guo Jin's appearance of ruined three views, Guo Peng knew that this was a critical moment for him to reshape his world view.

Create a cold, practical, ugly, and dirty world for him, and let him understand the cold truth of this world.

But even so, this world is not lacking in warmth for Guo Peng.

Cao Lan's tenderness and love, Cai Yong's advice, and Lu Zhi's care and sincere friendship will be remembered until his death.

These are important existences to prevent Guo Peng from becoming a complete butcher.

On the night of the fourth day, Guo Peng instilled these warmth into Guo Jin's heart.

"Even though the world is full of scheming, interests, clamor and disputes, there are still people who care about me, such as your mother, Duke Cai, and Duke Lu."

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand tightly: "A Jin, in this position, you need to learn to be scheming and ruthless like a father, but you must always remember that your mother and I have always been deeply in love with each other. Deeply in love with you."

Then Guo Peng pulled Guo Jin into his arms and hugged him tightly.

To be honest, for a moment, Guo Peng didn't want Guo Jin to enter this cruel and murderous world so early.

I don't want him to learn how to kill, and I don't want him to become cruel, sinister, cunning and full of calculations.

This is the position of being a father.

He loves his child, and he hopes that the child will grow up healthy and stable for the rest of his life, even if he is just an ordinary person.

All consciousness can be shaken at this moment, this is the magical power of love.

Even so, his indifferent reason told him that Guo Jin, like him, never had the right to be willful, never.

But at least, at least Guo Peng wants to let Guo Jin know that he is loved.

If the world is full of despair for a person, then love is the only hope.

As the warmest existence in human nature, love is undoubtedly the greatest emotion.

Lucky people will be healed by childhood in their whole life, and unfortunate people need to heal their childhood in their whole life. Childhood love is the best healing agent in a person's life, and it is also a person's bottom line.

Guo Peng gave Guo Jin a childhood that was not perfect but at least not lacking in love, so on the last night of his childhood, Guo Peng wanted to let this love be deeply engraved in Guo Jin's heart.

Be a father, not a monarch, a liar, an executioner.

After this night, Guo Jin will also learn to be a monarch, a liar, and an executioner.

Not knowing whether she was moved or frightened, Guo Jin cried bitterly in Guo Peng's arms for more than ten minutes for the first time.

In this cannibalistic world, no one has the right to be exempted, this is true for the high-ranking ones, and the same is true for the heads of Li Shu and Guizhou.

If you want to live well, you will be involuntary.

People who let themselves go, generally die faster.

Zhang Ji and Duan Yan are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and Guo Peng to agree to the edict of feuding the country and building the country, so that they can let themselves go.

Everything is ready, just wait for Guo Peng to let go, and then everything can continue.

They were even praying, praying for news from Guo Peng to come quickly.

But Guo Peng is not in a hurry.

The things that have been prepared for a long time, the closer they are, the calmer and less eager they are.

Guo Peng is very clear about his purpose, and has always had a clear route plan. He is very clear about what to do and what not to do.

Therefore, even in the face of Cai Yong, he still has a good heart.

The fourth wave of awarding teams was less than two days away from Yecheng, and the old friend who had been touting Guo Peng's reputation couldn't sit still.

Cai Yong's help to Guo Peng was enormous. He accepted him into Dongguan, accompanied Cai Yong to revise books, and then recommended him to Lu Zhi. The second bucket of gold made a lot of contributions.

Because of this feeling, Guo Peng has always thought of Cai Yong, and has always respected Cai Yong very, very much. He also specially protected him, took him to Qingzhou, and followed him all the way to Yecheng. Teaching in the palace gave him a very noble status.

It is the same until now.

"It's been a long time since I talked with Zifeng like this."

Cai Yong smiled and handed Guo Peng a cup of sweet drink.

"Mr. Cai is busy."

Guo Peng took it with a smile, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The drinks made by Mr. Cai are still as delicious as before."

"Hahahaha, back then, how long ago was that? About 18 years ago, right?"

Cai Yong looked at Guo Peng with a look of nostalgia: "18 years ago, when I first met Zifeng, Zifeng was only 12 years old. I never imagined that 18 years later, Zifeng would become such an upright and good man. .”

"Hahahaha, what kind of person did Mr. Cai think I was?"

Guo Pengrao looked at Cai Yong with interest.

"At the beginning, when I first met Zifeng, I felt pleasing to the eye, comfortable to look at, and felt that Zifeng was honest and upright. Apart from that, there was nothing else."

Cai Yong smiled and said: "After that, I asked Zifeng to study with me in Dongguan, and saw that Zifeng was down-to-earth, able to settle down to do things, and eager to learn. At that time, the old man knew that Zifeng must not be a treasure in the pond. , such a young man will become a great weapon in the future."

Speaking of this, Cai Yong paused, and then said: "It's just that I never thought that Zifeng would be so powerful."

Defeat Xianbei, pacify Zhang Ju Zhang Chun and Karasuma Rebellion, defeat Yellow Turban, defeat Dong Zhuo, defeat Yuan Shao, defeat Lu Bu, defeat the army of Baibo and the Southern Huns, and defeat Yuan Shu who usurped the throne.

Along the way, many rebellious and rebellious people have been put down, and they have made great contributions to maintaining the orthodoxy and integrity of the Han Dynasty, so that the whole world cannot ignore this contribution, and cannot openly oppose Guo Peng to accept this award.

Because it is really lack of confidence.

The situation is too special, no one knows how to solve this matter correctly, no one knows how this matter should end.

Of course Cai Yong didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't be so entangled and confused.

"Cai Gongmi praised it. Along the way, I just won more victories and let more people with evil intentions confer the title."

"But this is the most important thing, Zifeng."

Cai Yong suddenly looked at Guo Peng seriously and said, "What Zifeng has done is the most important thing."

Guo Peng looked at Cai Yong calmly, then smiled and nodded.

"It is indeed very important, Mr. Cai. I have imagined it more than once. If I hadn't put down these traitors for the Great Han, put down Xianbei, put down Karasuma, put down Zhang Ju Zhang Chun, put down the Yellow Turban, put down Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, then this would be a big deal. The world does not yet know how many people who will appear as kings and hegemons, or even emperors."

When Guo Peng said this, there was no expression on his face, but there was an irreversible momentum in his words.

Of course Cai Yong would not refute, nor did he need to refute, this is a fact.
