At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Because someone Guo has already controlled the high ground of public opinion.

There is also the mighty Wei Jun and almost unlimited power.

Therefore, on the evening of December [-]th in the sixth year of Xingping, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor Liu Jian was officially held.

A group of officials with the title of Wei official accompanied Wei Gong Guo Peng, and together they saluted the No.15 emperor Liu Jian of the Eastern Han Empire, and recognized Liu Jian as the new emperor of the Eastern Han Empire.

With Guo Peng's support, Liu Jian ascended the throne and sat on the throne. Cheng Yu, the ceremonial official, read out the enthronement edict, announcing that next year it will be changed to Yuan Jian'an. After tonight, tomorrow will be the first day of the first month of Jian'an.

The new emperor, Liu Jian, rewarded the officials and pardoned the world to show the new emperor's new atmosphere.

As soon as the night of Zishi arrived, the time entered the first year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty.

The sound of drums was rumbling, and the deep sound of horns resounded through the Luoyang court. Guo Peng led all the ministers to greet Liu Jianshan long live, congratulating Liu Jian on his official enthronement and proclaiming himself emperor and ruling the world.

Liu Jian watched such a scene on the throne, feeling very interesting and overjoyed.

Dahan's tomorrow will definitely be even better.

Chapter 654 .660 Three from Luoyang Beiwei to the world

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, of course it is necessary to seal up all the ministers and re-establish the structure of the Han central government.

The first to be sealed was Guo Peng.

Guo Peng was promoted to General of Hussars from the position of General of Chariots and Cavalry. He was in charge of military affairs and opened a government office.

Wei Duke's title remains unchanged, and [-] households are added to the city, and a total of [-] households are formerly sealed.

Three years of tax exemption for the State of Wei. Within three years, the areas under the jurisdiction of the State of Wei do not need to pay any taxes to the Central Government of Han.

Guo Peng's parents, wife, and children have received awards one after another, and the family is full of honor and favor.

As a result, Guo Peng became the number one powerful figure in the Han Empire, not only able to control the military power, but also actually control the political power.

As a general of the hussars, he performed military affairs as a general, and the emperor was not allowed to take charge of the government if he was a minor. During this period of time, Guo Peng actually held the highest authority of the Han Empire.

Before the emperor's nominal pro-government, no one can oppose him.

Because Guo Peng put a lot of thought into setting up other positions.

For example, Cai Yong, because of his high morals, was appointed Situ by Guo Peng through the imperial decree of the little emperor.

Xun Yu, the former director of the government affairs office of the General Cheqi, was appointed as one of the nine ministers, Da Honglu.

Zang Hong, the former governor of Bingzhou, was transferred to the central government and served as the servant of the Jiuqing, and Xiahou Dun, the former governor of Runan, succeeded the governor of Bingzhou.

Bao Xin, the former governor of Yanzhou, was also transferred to the central government to serve as the Shaofu among the Jiuqing, and Guo Rui, the former prefect of Zhao County, succeeded the governor of Yanzhou.

These few prominent and respected opponents of the central government were all transferred to the Han central government by Guo Peng to take up positions, leaving their original positions and positions.

And a group of followers under them were also transferred to Luoyang to hold positions.

After Guo Peng decided that these people were in the wrong team and became enemies, he asked the Linzi camp to focus on spying on these people and their followers, those who still had fantasies about Han. Naturally, there are many of the same people.

Guo has prepared many positions for them.

Under the Jiuqing, there are some Shangshutai Shangshu in Luoyang, subordinate officials of Situ Mansion, and some Lang officials.

Anyway, one counts as one. Those who were confirmed by the Linzi camp and recorded on the blacklist were all transferred to Luoyang to hold positions in the Han Central Committee, and none of them slipped through the net.

The spy network that Guo Peng worked so hard to build played an important role at this time. As an important extension of the imperial power, the spy network provided Guo Peng with all the information he needed to attack the political opponents and helped him strike accurately.

These people entered Luoyang together with their elders and children, and they seemed to be high-ranking officials, with noble status and salaries, but in fact they had no real power.

Guo Peng will not give these people any real power, he just wants to gather these people together, and these people will be convenient for Guo Peng to control.

Let's not talk about Cai Yong, the mascot.

Da Honglu, who Xun Yu was in charge of, was originally responsible for work like diplomacy.

Nowadays, the diplomatic work of the Han Empire is almost at a standstill, and there is nothing to do. Even if there is, even if diplomatic relations are restored, it is Guo Peng's business and has nothing to do with the Luoyang court.

The person in charge of the real authority is Guo Peng. If those foreign envoys come to China at this time, they will also see Guo Peng, not the little emperor.

The little emperor just needs to continue to eat, drink and play, and eat, drink and play for the rest of his life.

Zang Hong's transferred servant was in charge of the emperor's carriage and the national horse administration.

Under the emperor with real power, the servant is a very important trusted minister, because he is the driver of the emperor, a position similar to the driver of the leader and the boss, and also in charge of horse affairs. One can imagine how important this position is .

But under the hands of the non-real emperor, everything is hard to say.

Basically, the only thing left to do is to drive the emperor.

The Shaofu is a position like a private financial manager in charge of the emperor's personal property. It is mainly in charge of the emperor's own small treasury and spending money. Similarly, it is very popular under the emperor with real power, but it is not so interesting under the emperor without real power. up.

Guo Peng even told the little emperor that he could drag Zang Hong, Xun Yu and Bao Xin to play mahjong with him.

Wouldn't it be nice for four people to play mahjong together?

Competing for supremacy at the poker table, competing against each other at the poker table, such a good job, can anyone get it?

Liu Jian felt that this suggestion was very good, and nodded repeatedly, expressing that he would compete with these three people at the poker table.

So someone Guo's face was full of wicked smiles.

As the four most prestigious and powerful people who opposed Guo Peng's selection of Liu Jian as the new emperor, these four people have been regarded as enemies by Guo Peng.

The group they represent has been taken over by Guo Peng, and all of them have been placed in the Luoyang Central Committee as painless positions.

Those who are interested have already seen the clues, but the fool is still complacent, thinking that he has taken advantage of it, and that he can go to glory.

Some people have always naively believed that Guo Peng established the new emperor and would put the central power in Luoyang instead of Yecheng. Hanchen.

He would only do this unless Guo Peng suddenly lost his head.

Of course, Guo Peng would not let Luoyang become the base camp of these people. What Guo Peng needed was to make Luoyang a concentration camp for the pro-Han faction of the royalist party, and summon them to Luoyang in the name of the emperor, so as to facilitate centralized management and In the future, it will be served in one pot.

Therefore, some confidants were also transferred to Luoyang by Guo Peng to work on security.

Cao Chun was appointed as Guang Luxun, and was ordered to take charge of the security work in the imperial city.

Cao Hong was appointed as a Weiwei, and was ordered to take charge of the security work outside the imperial city and within Luoyang City.

Zhao Yun was appointed as Zhi Jinwu, and was ordered to take charge of the Luoyang garrison to defend Luoyang, stationed in the south of Luoyang City, and led the largest number of troops.

These three people are mainly in charge of all Luoyang's military forces on the surface, and all Luoyang's armed forces are under the control of these three people.

The three of them control Luoyang's armed forces. If there is any change, they will immediately send troops to suppress it, and promise not to let the royalists make trouble.

Guo Jin, Lu Yi, Xia Houshang, and Cao Zhen were appointed by Guo Peng as the captains of the four departments of Luoyang to assist Cao Hong in the security work of Luoyang. jobs done.

Guo Peng told Guo Jin about this before his appointment.

He also told Guo Jin that it was in this position that he made his first contribution. He wiped out the Yellow Turban rebel group headed by Ma Yuanyi and helped the court discover the Yellow Turban rebellion in advance.

As a result, Guo Peng got the position of captain of Changshui, was able to join the army and began to make contributions.

"Luoyang North Captain is a very small position, but this is your first official position. Back then, my father made achievements in this position, and today I am here. Now, my father also wants you to do something. Achievements, prove yourself to your father."

Guo Peng instructed Guo Jin in this way, and then gave Guo Jin [-] tiger guards as his subordinates.

Guo Jin, who has reached the age of 16, has been asked by Guo Peng to perform the crown ceremony a few days ago, take the name of Boyao, and then officially get the official position, so she became an official and started her career as an official.

Guo Peng needs Guo Jin to go through some things, and even make certain decisions, so as to observe his aptitude and see if he has the awareness.

Lu Yi, Xiahoushang and Cao Zhen were Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan who were beside Guo Peng back then, accompanying him from Luoyang Beiwei to the world.

This is Guo Peng's greatest expectation for Guo Jin.

So within one day, the changes in Luoyang City will affect the whole world.

Because of the new emperor's enthronement this time, the governors of the states under Guo Peng's command and the county guards from all over the country who were named to participate in the enthronement ceremony all came to Luoyang and gathered together.

When someone was left in Luoyang and his position was replaced by others, there would naturally be a small discussion among the officials.

Although it is normal for a group of people to change their positions when the new emperor ascends the throne, it is worth paying attention to the personnel changes at the level of the governor.

Chapter 655. 660 Si Guo Peng wants to help them correct their thinking (repair)

Guo Peng's assassination history is not the six hundred stone history of the Western Han Dynasty and the early Eastern Han Dynasty, but the two thousand stone history.

These governors have real power, hold administrative power, and have certain military power in emergency wars to implement policies and implement them locally.

Therefore, all the time, the governors of the states have been served by Guo Peng's cronies, without any exception.

Even the governor of Youzhou, Xian Yufu, was one of the few tyrants in the battle between Guo and Yuan who fell to Guo Peng from the very beginning, so he gained Guo Peng's trust and served as governor of Youzhou for several years.

Cao Cao, the former governor of Jizhou and now the prime minister of Wei, is Guo Peng's brother-in-law. They have a very close relationship since childhood.

Man Chong is Guo Peng's favorite minister, his wife is Guo's daughter, or Guo Peng personally proposed marriage, needless to say, as a diehard loyalist, he has a close relationship.

Mi Zhu is Guo Peng's old minister from Yuan Cong, and also the elder brother of Guo Peng's concubine Mi Shi. He started to follow Guo Peng very early and has a close relationship.

Zang Hong was a friend of Guo Peng's who had known him since Luoyang's time.

Bao Xin is a key person who helped Guo Peng gain control of Yanzhou and has a close relationship.

Only those who are close to each other can take up the post of governor.

Let’s say that the two people who have replaced Zang Hong and Bao Xin, Xiahou Dun and Guo Rui, are both veteran officials of Yuan Cong. Xiahou Dun is an official of Guo Peng’s relatives in a broad sense, and Guo Rui is Guo Peng’s official.

The relationship is even closer.

And everyone knows that this decision is a decision made by Guo Peng, not the decision made by the little emperor. How could the little emperor make such a thing?The little emperor doesn't even know who is under Guo Peng's command.

Guo Peng canceled Zang Hong and Bao Xin's positions as governors, and transferred them to Luoyang as Jiuqing, and let his cronies take over the positions of the two of them, replacing them...

The reason behind this is very intriguing.

What kind of thoughts did Guo Peng make such a decision?

When the edict was announced, Zang Hong and Bao Xin were very surprised, because Zang Hong and Bao Xin didn't know about it in advance, and they didn't know that they would be transferred to the central government by Guo Peng to serve as Jiuqing.

It is normal for Jiuqing, the Jiuqing of the central government, to be transferred from county guard or governor, and it can even be regarded as a promotion.

But at this time, under this circumstance, they were transferred to Jiuqing, no matter how they thought about it, they felt that something was wrong.

Should I have been notified in advance?

Just like when he was appointed as the governor before, Guo Peng will definitely discuss with his important ministers in advance what he wants to do.

Could it be because they opposed the establishment of Liu Jian as the new emperor?

Before Guo Peng and the little emperor set off from Yecheng, Zang Hong arrived in Yecheng first, and had a discussion with Guo Peng on establishing a new emperor in Yecheng.

At that time, Zang Hong advised Guo Peng very earnestly, saying that the establishment of an emperor is a major event for the country. Now the country is not stable and is still in crisis. The country needs an adult emperor to rule, so as to deter the Quartet.

Liu Jian is too young to intimidate the Quartet, let alone the peaceful era, but in this era, Liu Jian is really not suitable.

Guo Peng was very angry at the time, feeling that Zang Hong had ignored what he had told him, but he patiently explained his concerns to him.

It would be fine if it was Cao Cao, Cao Cao has already been persuaded, which is equivalent to admitting counsel.

After following Guo Peng for so many years, Cao Cao's character has been thoroughly understood by Guo Peng.

Cao Cao, who has not been tempered by power struggles, does not have the courage to confront Guo Peng at all. He has been passively cooperating with Guo Peng's strength. He is used to it. capable minister.

But Zang Hong is not like this. Zang Hong’s character is still the same. He was the same as when he was in Luoyang Taixue. Liu Jian is not suitable to be emperor.

The emperor who is a minor not only has risks in this respect, but will even make people in the world doubt Guo Peng's intentions and think that Guo Peng has ulterior motives.

This is definitely a bad thing for Guo Peng. Zang Hong said that he is completely public and hopes that Guo Peng will consider choosing an adult emperor as emperor for his own reputation, so that people in the world can see Guo Peng's utter loyalty.

"The country is in crisis, and the master is young and the country is suspicious. At this time, an adult emperor is needed to stabilize people's hearts, so that people in the world can feel at ease and will not doubt Zifeng's intentions. Zifeng can also preserve his reputation. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Zang Hong persuaded Guo Peng with a sincere look.

Guo Peng became even more angry.

But Guo Peng didn't get angry at that time, but persuaded Zang Hong to go back to his home with good words.

In the next few days, Zang Hong still wanted to see Guo Peng, but Guo Peng did not see Zang Hong again, and ordered someone to persuade Zang Hong to leave, saying that he was too busy and had no time.

I don't know how.
