At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

These four words appeared in Guo Peng's mind, and they couldn't be more appropriate to describe Zang Hong.

It seems that the honor and favor for Yuan Cong's veterans also gave some people the idea that time has been stuck in the past.

Guo has never thought about old love so much.

It made me feel hostile, and I was on the wrong team. Is it something that can be solved so easily?

Very good, so this time, we will use Zang Hong and others to make a knife, knock the mountains and shake the tigers, and kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.

Whether you have the intention or not, some people have to realize that this era is no longer the era of the past.

The present self is no longer the past self.

At least from the matter of Xun Yu, Guo Peng thought that he had made many people understand what was in their hearts and cooperated, but he did not expect that there were still people who were so ignorant.

Zang Hong still didn't notice the change in Guo Peng's heart, perhaps because he had been in Bingzhou for a long time.

Perhaps it was because Bao Xin had been in Yanzhou for a long time that he couldn't keep up with Guo Peng's thinking.

This will not work.

Guo Peng wants to help them correct their thinking.

Ideological laggards cannot continue to survive in my group. What my group needs are rational people, people who can keep up with my footsteps, not dizzy guys.

Do you think I will only attack Xun Yu?

After learning that they were transferred to the Central Committee, Bao Xin and Zang Hong wanted to discuss the matter with Guo Peng and ask why, but because it was during the ceremony, they did not ask in time.

However, three days after the ceremony, all those who were due to leave and those who should be employed went to work. As a result, Guo Peng still did not intend to meet Zang Hong and Bao Xin. The two were a little panicked and asked to see Guo Peng, but Guo Peng still did not See what they mean.

Zang Hong and Bao Xin were very surprised. They didn't know why, and when they got together, they asked their old friends about it.

In the end, one counts as one, and they all prevaricate and disappear. No matter who they go to, the result is the same. They say that they are not there, or they are busy with business, and they just disappear.

They were all in Luoyang when the new emperor ascended the throne. Except for Cheng Yu who presided over government affairs in Yecheng, many people accompanied Guo Peng in Luoyang to deal with some urgent affairs in Luoyang, but neither Bao Xin nor Zang Hong could see each other. arrive.

At this time, the two of them really panicked, a little at a loss.

In the end, the two came to Chen Ji's mansion with their last hope, but Chen Ji didn't see them either.

But I don't know if it was out of kindness. Chen Ji asked his servants to tell them not to try to find anyone to intercede. There is no chance of being forgiven.

To tell the truth, when Bao Xin and Zang Hong opposed Lixin Emperor, many people felt that something was wrong, but Guo Peng never responded.

At that time, Guo Jia and Tian Feng were discussing this matter in private, thinking that this matter was not simple, Zang Hong and Bao Xin did not do the right thing, it would probably anger Guo Peng, and Guo Peng would not know what to do at that time.

"Duke Wei's power is getting stronger and stronger than before. It is really unwise for Zang Ziyuan and Bao Yuncheng to do such a thing."

"The world is about to change, and we'd better stay the same and respond to all changes. These two people, I'm afraid they've heard something they shouldn't have heard, and they've got thoughts they shouldn't have."

Guo Jia and Tian Feng then made it clear that they would not have any further contact with these two people, and such thoughts widely existed in the hearts of most Wei officials.

Zang Hong and Bao Xin were quickly isolated by the Wei officials.

Chapter 656. 660 Five Frightened Chen Ji

Guo Peng has not acted, which has caused some people to have wrong expectations.

As a result, on the day when the new emperor came to the throne, Guo Peng took down Zang Hong and Bao Xin's positions as governors in one go, replaced them with cronies, and asked them to be two insignificant Jiuqings in Luoyang Central...

Jiuqing, the underage emperor, has a fart power!

The national power of the big man is in the hands of Guo Peng, and Guo Peng makes all the decisions, can't you see it?

Hussar General, who conducts general military affairs, establishes a government, is above the Sangong, and is in charge of the military affairs of the whole country. This is an aboveboard exercise of authority.

Everyone knew that Guo Peng was dissatisfied with these two people and was very angry, so he decided to clean them up and show them some color.

To put it more simply, the two fell out of favor. Like Xun Yu before them, they did not take sides on key issues in time, did not understand Guo Peng's original intentions, and made political mistakes.

During this sensitive period, Guo Peng took down two meritorious veterans in one go, and immediately frightened the boss and a group of people, making them realize that Guo Peng is definitely not the kind of person who thinks about past meritorious service and opens the Internet to meritorious veterans. people on one side.

Guo Peng never holds back against those he regards as enemies.

Zang Hong and Bao Xin, the two high-ranking governors, annoyed Guo Peng because of their incorrect alignment, so they were quickly taken down and exiled in Luoyang, with a worrying future.

Xun Yu had no hope for a long time, and it was expected that he would be exiled to Luoyang to serve as Jiuqing.

As for Cai Yong, he was more like a mascot held high, without any special symbolic meaning.

Taking down Zang Hong, Bao Xin, and their close relatives, and throwing them all to Luoyang, this is the scary thing.

Without the slightest hesitation, he struck so fast that people couldn't react at all.

Some smart people have noticed that Guo Peng is gathering opponents to Luoyang, and then let his three trusted generals take charge of all the military power in Luoyang, and even let his son Guo Jin be the northern captain of Luoyang, in charge of certain Is the meaning not clear enough?

Luoyang is not Hanchen's base camp at all, but Hanchen's concentration camp!

When Chen Ji learned of this, he broke into a cold sweat from fright, and the water glass he was holding was not held firmly, and fell to the ground and broke.

The cup was broken, but he didn't bend down to pick it up, because his soul was almost scared away.

Chen Ji suddenly remembered that Guo Peng had asked him jokingly before if he wanted to become the third prince.

Chen Qun immediately stepped forward to support Chen Ji.

"Why is father so flustered?"

"It's dangerous, Changwen, it's dangerous!"

Chen Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a breath: "Just a little, just a little bit, our Chen family is in danger."

Chen Ji suddenly remembered the look that Cheng Yu stared at him when he was selecting the emperor, that stern look, the look without any emotion.

Cai Yong was also imprisoned in the Luoyang Concentration Camp, becoming a figurehead Situ who could do nothing and would have no power. Luoyang was not the center of the great Han, but a prison controlled by Guo Peng.

He was almost imprisoned too.

Sitting down, Chen Jiyi took Chen Qun's hand.

"Changwen, you have to remember that from now on, members of the Chen family must not have any contact with Cai Bojie and Xun Wenruo, let alone Zang Ziyuan and Bao Yuncheng, understand?"

Chen Qun looked at Chen Ji in surprise, nodded, and asked, "Why did father say that? Aren't those great sages?"

"You will understand. Now, don't ask too many questions, just do what you should do. Other things are not for you to participate in. You just need to do what Wei Father said, and that's fine."

Chen Ji shook his head again and again, and stopped answering Chen Qun's question.

Chen Qun didn't quite understand, but he followed what his father said and didn't resist.

Before, Chen Ji was still very optimistic about Xun Yu, thinking that Xun Yu might still have a chance of being rehabilitated, but now, it is completely gone, and there is no future for continuing to keep in touch with Xun Yu.

The political marriage between Chen Qun and the Xun family should probably be reconsidered now.

Chen Ji knew that he would lose his current position and become a member of the Luoyang Concentration Camp if he was just a little bit close.

Moreover, from all perspectives, Chen Ji realized that he might no longer be suitable for the position under Guo Peng's command.

I'm getting old, I can't bear to be scared, and I can no longer watch any terrible changes in the officialdom. Instead of suffering at that time, it's better to go now. In the future, there may be room for turning around.

After thinking through this point, Chen Ji came up with the idea of ​​retiring.

After so many years, I really should take a rest and stop tossing about.

The future of Yingchuan scholars can only be handed over to Xun You.

I am deeply involved in various aspects, and my qualifications are also very deep. I have a special prestige among the Hanchen group. If I don't step back, I guess Guo Peng won't even feel at ease with Chen Qun. Right now, Guo Peng doesn't give Chen Qun any important things. The authority is the proof.

Guo Peng is testing Chen Ji to see if Chen Ji has this self-awareness.

It was too thrilling, really too thrilling.

Chen Ji settled down, sat down again, and began to think about how to write his petition form before the case table.

A series of personnel changes in the first month of the first year of Jian'an brought profound changes to the entire Guowei political group.

Guo Peng lightly removed Zang Hong and Bao Xin as governors and replaced them with someone close to him. It seemed to be a normal job transfer, but in-depth investigation revealed that Bao Xin and Zang Hong had made a mistake. .

Guo Peng no longer trusts them and will not give them another chance. Some people have guessed the answer to why Guo Peng did this, but some people can't.

But whether you guessed it or not, you dare not say it.

Because Guo Peng has further increased his status and power, he has successfully established the emperor and won the support and recognition of most people, thus deposing the emperor and becoming a real power minister.

Guo Peng governed the government in an upright manner, neither rude nor rude, but a logical transition from a local warlord to a central authority. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Naturally, no one would stand up to oppose it, just like Dong Zhuo Engage in an allied army of eighteen princes.

Subsequently, Guo Peng issued many decrees in the name of the emperor, and his power increased greatly.

After raising and lowering his political opponents to evade the power, he completely emptied the power departments such as the Han Shangshutai, Situ Mansion and Jiuqing in name, and all the Han central agencies in Luoyang had nothing to do. paddling.

The national government affairs are still under the control of Guo Peng, and the Guo Wei political system under Guo Peng is responsible. The core power is in Yecheng, not in Luoyang.

Guo Peng seems to have no intention of realizing the newly established Central Government of Han Dynasty. This government is like a show, without any real power and nothing to do.

The new emperor, Liu Jian, didn't care about anything at all. He came to Luoyang and lived in a more spacious palace. He was happier because there were more people and more novelties for him to play with.

Cai Yong wanted to start educating the emperor, and Guo Peng agreed, but Cai Yong soon discovered that the little emperor was very playful, and he only had two hours a day for studying, and the rest of the time was spent on eating, drinking and having fun.

He inquired and knew that this was something Guo Peng knew.

Cai Yong was surprised and a little angry. He felt that the emperor should not be like this. He went to find Guo Peng, but found out that Guo Peng had something urgent to do, and he had already set off for Yecheng. Guo Peng.

So Cai Yong could only go to Xun You.

Chapter 657 .660 Liu Han is uncomfortable

The official Guo Peng stayed in Luoyang was Xun You.

Under the arrangement of Guo Peng, Xun You took up the post of Shang Shuling of the Luoyang Central Committee, but his duty is not to deal with government affairs, but to manage Luoyang, a huge concentration camp, and assist Zaoyi to make it more beautiful, magnificent and tall .

Xun You knew his duty well, so he ignored Cai Yong.

Cai Yong came to see him, and he met him. Regarding Cai Yong's idea of ​​asking the emperor to study more, Xun You said that it had nothing to do with him. This was the emperor's own intention, and the ministers could not object.

Cai Yong was very angry about this, and angrily reprimanded Xun You.

"The emperor is young, he should be educated seriously, if he indulges the emperor to play, what will the emperor look like?"

Xun You didn't have any opinion on this, but said calmly: "Everything is your majesty's wish, we as ministers are just following your majesty's order, if Situ Gong thinks it is inappropriate, you can go to see your majesty and ask your majesty for advice." admonish."

Xun You did not prevent Cai Yong from seeing the little emperor, but he did not express any opinion on this matter, which made Cai Yong very angry.

"Gongda, do you think such a thing is correct? Is this the way to be a minister?"

"Mr. Situ can visit His Majesty by himself."

Xun You still talked about him from left to right.

Cai Yong was helpless, snorted angrily, and left.

Afterwards, Cai Yong went to see the little emperor, but the result was not good.

He tried to persuade the little emperor to read and practice more calligraphy and study classics to increase his knowledge, but this required reducing the little emperor's play time, which made the little emperor very unhappy.

Being with Guo Peng can play happily and enjoy happily, the little emperor is very happy, but as a result, Cai Yong wants to let him learn as soon as he comes...

Rather annoying.

The little emperor didn't like Cai Yong, but he also wanted to show him some face, so he took Cai Yong to play mahjong together. Cai Yong was not good at such things, so he continued to advise the little emperor not to be playful, but to read more.

This made the little emperor more and more bored with Cai Yong, and when he saw Cai Yong coming, he felt a headache, tried to avoid Cai Yong, and complained to the servants around him that Cai Yong was annoying.

"Every time Mr. Cai comes over, I can't continue to have fun, and my good mood is ruined. It's really annoying!"

The little emperor complained again and again.

"Your Majesty is the emperor. As long as His Majesty orders Situ not to come, Situ cannot come."

The servants instructed by Guo Peng realized that the time had come, so they told the little emperor flatteringly that he had this power.

Hearing what the servants said, the little emperor Mao Sai suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that there was another village.

So the little emperor directly ordered Cai Yong not to come to teach him to read again, in exchange for the children of the Guo family who had taught him to continue his study for two hours.

Guo Peng is better, delicious, fun, and easy to use, and you don’t need to waste your brain reading, if it can continue like this, how good would it be?
