At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Your mother clan and the power prepared for you by your father are enough for you to inherit your father's career, but because your prestige is not enough and your own strength is not enough, your father will worry that you, like Emperor Hui, will be prepared by these backlash.

If you want to successfully control your power, you need to have enough strength yourself. The prestige you have obtained is your greatest strength. Cai Gong is a great Confucian in the country. Over the years, he has been helping Cai Gong to promote his reputation for his father, and then Recommend Cai company to be a situ.

Right now, Duke Cai's reputation has climbed to a new high. If you marry Duke Cai's daughter, you can inherit this part of Duke Cai's reputation. Duke Cai himself is held in high esteem by his father and does not belong to any faction.

He has not participated in any power struggles, and is almost detached from the outside world, so everyone respects him and admires him, and will not regard him as a threat, and the fame he has accumulated is also left to you for your father. "

Guo Peng patted the back of Guo Jin's hand: "A Jin, maybe you don't understand it now, but it won't take long for you to understand why you do this as a father. In the future, when you are in the position of a father, you You will do the same, heir of the

Guo Jin was shocked and confused by it, but he would eventually understand everything, understand everything, and learn such methods.

The struggle for power and status has always been the most brutal and ruthless.

Guo Jin also finally understood that he was a very lucky person, and the woman he liked happened to be the one Guo Peng was willing to propose marriage to, and it happened to be within Guo Peng's choice range, and only then did he have today.

If not, he will have to spend his whole life with a woman he has never met.

Starting this evening, Guo Jin felt that the way she looked at the world had undergone a certain change.

What Guo Peng did for him deeply shocked him, and he began to think, ponder, and seriously study what Guo Peng did.

And this is Guo Peng's purpose.

Acting skills are one thing, and means are another. If you have acting skills without means, you cannot become an excellent actor.

Guo Jin must become an excellent actor, and he also has no choice.

However, being an excellent actor is not enough, Guo Jin also needs to know some other things.

Guo Peng will tell him.

chapter 697

Guo Peng stayed in Luoyang for a few days and dealt with a lot of things in Luoyang. He wrote to Cao Cao about his plan to marry Cao Ang and asked Cao Cao's opinion.

A few days later, Cao Cao's reply arrived almost at the same time as Cao Ang.

Cao Cao is very willing to let his eldest son marry Cai Yan, and he will be very happy if he can do so.

Guo Peng knew it was over.

Cao Ang arrived in Luoyang and met Guo Peng. Guo Peng took Cao Ang's hand and said a lot, praised Cao Ang's political achievements, and then told Cao Ang about his purpose.

"Zixiu, your wife has passed away for more than three years. For more than three years, you have lived alone with Yinger, which is quite inconvenient. You have to deal with official duties and take care of Yinger. How can you be a man?" What about things that can be done at the same time? Don’t you want to continue the string?”

Guo Peng took the initiative to bring up such a thing, and Cao Ang immediately understood the reason why Guo Peng called him to Luoyang all the way.

"My lord, my subordinates..."

"This is a private occasion, don't call me king, and don't call yourself a subordinate."

Guo Peng looked at Cao Ang reproachfully, Cao Ang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Uncle, I don't want to continue."

"why?"

Guo Peng persuasively said: "Master Cui has passed away for more than three years, are you still blaming yourself? If you want to blame yourself, you should blame me first, because it is I who want to fight Yuan Gonglu, so you have no time Take care of your wife, you blame me, don't blame yourself!"

"My nephew doesn't dare to blame my uncle. It's all my nephew's own fault. It's because my nephew pays too much attention to official duties and neglects his family..."

Cao Ang wiped away tears.

"But you still want to marry a wife and have children. If you don't have a son, how will your father treat you? You were brought up by Mrs. Ding, and you are the eldest son. If the eldest son has no son, how can you inherit your father's family business?" What about it? You always have to think about the Cao family, right?"

Guo Peng's earnest persuasion silenced Cao Ang.

"Your father is 45 years old, and he has no grandchildren. I am ten years younger than your father, and I will be a grandfather in a few years. Among the officials of Wei State, there are no grandchildren at your father's age." Of the grandchildren, only your father is alone."

Cao Ang thought for a while, sighed, and nodded.

"My nephew understands what uncle means. Dare I ask uncle, whose daughter did my father choose for me?"

"I told you about this matchmaking, but I have already obtained your father's consent. Please read this letter."

Guo Peng took a roll of bamboo slips and handed them to Cao Ang. When Cao Ang unfolded the bamboo slips, he was a little surprised.

"Mr. Cai's eldest daughter?"

"Yes, Cai's parents and daughter, nicknamed Zhaoji, you should have heard of it for a long time."

Guo Peng nodded: "Zhao Ji is considered to be a bad person. I was really angry with the son of Wei before, so I helped Zhao Ji get a divorce. Zhao Ji stayed at home for several years and never remarried, which also caused Mr. Cai a headache."

After a pause, Guo Peng said again: "Zixiu, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I have already prepared a marriage for Boyao, and the other party is the second daughter of Mrs. Cai, but the eldest daughter is not married, how can the second daughter be married?" What about getting married before the elder sister?

It happened that Mr. Cai was also worried about Zhao Ji’s marriage, so I thought of you. You are an official outside, and you still have your daughter with you. You must always have someone to take care of you. Zhao Ji is a sensible woman. She is definitely not an idle girl. If you are devoted to official duties, Zhao Ji will definitely be your good wife. "

Cao Ang finally understood.

In this way, I will become brother-in-law with Guo Jin, and the relationship will inevitably be closer, which will be good for me, Guo Shi and Cao Shi.

Cai Zhaoji's reputation Cao Ang has also heard a lot. He was disappointed with her husband because of his timid surrender and infidelity, and divorced in anger, showing that he was unwilling to be a lifelong partner with someone who had no integrity. This matter still aroused a wave of public opinion at the time.

Cao Ang thought of being alone and his lonely daughter, and felt that Guo Peng's arrangement was good for him.

As the person who will inherit the Cao family business in the future, having a closer relationship with Guo Jin, the person who will inherit Guo Peng's status, will benefit both of them.

Cao Ang is a calm adult now.

So he nodded.

"If Cai Gong agrees to this matter, nephew, I will do anything."

Cao Ang approved the marriage, Guo Peng nodded in satisfaction, and told Cai Yong about it.

Cai Yong has already started to do Cai Yan's ideological work, and this time, he has a helper, Cai Wan.

Cai Yan likes her sister very much, especially after she was disappointed with her ex-husband and divorced and returned home, she liked her even more. She became a well-deserved sister-in-law. With her sister as her spiritual support, she declared that she would not marry someone who has no integrity, and even lived a lonely life plan.

But this time, Cai Yong moved out Cai Wan as a helper to persuade Cai Yan together.

Then Cai Yan knew that Cai Yong and Guo Peng had settled the marriage between Guo Jin and Cai Wan, but Cai Yan never knew that Cai Wan had a secret heart for Guo Jinfang. Hu was deceived and felt betrayed.

But there is no way, if he doesn't get married, it will be difficult for his younger sister to get married. The pressure from two aspects is on him, and Cai Yan is also very embarrassed.

"Before, I was not allowed to judge people for my father, which delayed you. Over the years, my father has also been reflecting on myself, so this time, I will ask Zifeng to choose the candidate himself. You should trust Zifeng's vision."

Cai Yong persuaded him earnestly: "Cao Zixiu is a famous young hero with a handsome appearance. He was diligent and willing to learn in the academy. After being released as an official, he was diligent and diligent, with outstanding achievements, and was deeply appreciated by Zifeng.

Moreover, since his wife passed away three years ago, he has not had a remarriage, nor has he taken a concubine. He lives alone with an orphan girl. Father, trust Zifeng. "

Cai Yong's persuasion, coupled with his younger sister's aggressive eyes, made Cai Yan finally let go.

She realized that her happy home girl life would be gone forever, and her sister had already been seduced by that bastard Guo Jin, so she had no choice but to agree to meet Cao Ang, but it was definitely not an agreement.

If she is not satisfied, she will never get married!

"Okay, Zhaoji, you decide this matter, if you are not satisfied, as a father, you will never force it."

Cai Yong was afraid of this daughter.

So Cai Yan reluctantly agreed to meet Cao Ang.

Under the help of Guo Peng and Cai Yong, Cai Yan and Cao Ang met in a small pavilion outside Luoyang City. After the two met, they chatted in the small pavilion. The two seemed to have a good chat.

How should I put it, to be a bit vulgar, it feels like the bastard saw mung beans in the same eye, a man who lost his wife and a divorced woman just saw the same eye.

Under various factors, Cao Ang and Cai Yan agreed with each other, decided to obey the wishes of their elders, and joined together, so everyone was happy.

Guo Peng officially announced the marriages of Cao Ang and Cai Yan, as well as Guo Jin and Cai Wan, and agreed to choose an auspicious day for the marriage of the two couples.

Although Cao Ang and Cai Yan are not married for the first time, they are the wives of the Ming matchmaker after all, and the matchmaker is Wei Wang Guopeng, so they still have to deal with it.

In order to be more convenient and quick, Guo Peng directly suggested that the two couples hold a wedding together, which would save money and celebrate.

After the discussion on this matter was completed, everyone began to prepare happily. Guo Peng will also set off from Luoyang and return to Yecheng to handle affairs.

Before returning to Ye City, Guo Peng took Guo Jin, the two of them, and a group of guards out of Luoyang City on horseback, and came to the field outside Luoyang City.

Chapter 698 Seven hundred and seven monarchs, people, Li Shu

On the fields outside Luoyang City, there are farms that have not been rebuilt and county towns that are being repaired all over the place.

Some of the people coming and going are plowing the fields and working diligently, and some are carrying building materials and stones to the county town to participate in the large-scale construction. Looking from a distance, it is clearly a scene of vigorous construction.

Guo Peng got off his horse and walked across the field with Guo Jin who also got off his horse.

The father and son walked in front, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei followed far behind with the tiger guards.

"Do you know why my father brought you here?"

"Also ask my father to teach me."

After negotiating Cai Wan's marriage, Guo Jin, who is about to marry his sweetheart, is full of spring breeze and very happy.

Guo Peng smiled slightly.

"Come to show you the foundation for the Father."

"Foundation?"

Guo Jin frowned: "I would like to ask my father to clarify, what is the foundation?"

"Everything you see is our foundation."

Guo Peng pointed to the busy scene of people coming and going on the field: "Farmers, workers, these Li Shu who work hard and pay taxes are the foundation of you, my father and my son."

"Father, my son has some doubts."

Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng suspiciously: "Didn't the father say before that the talents prepared for the son are the foundation of the son?"

"It is."

Guo Peng nodded: "But when you take the position of father, they are no longer your foundation, but your potential threat."

Guo Jin was taken aback.

"Why does Weifu attack those who have made great achievements? Do you really want to pass? You must still have doubts in your heart, and Weifu didn't tell you all the goals."

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin, and reached out to hold Guo Jin's hand: "Part of the reason for attacking them is for you, and the other part is not, A Jin, they used to be the unshakable foundation of being a father, but now and in the future, They will no longer be the foundation of fatherhood, they will be a potential threat to fatherhood."

Guo Jin seemed a little confused about what Guo Peng meant.

"Father, my son doesn't understand. Could it be that they really want to rebel?"

Guo Peng shook his head.

"Ajin, do you know why the emperor calls himself a loner?"

"do not know……"

"Because the emperor is really alone."

Guo Peng took a deep breath: "It is irrefutable, there is no doubt, the pathetic loner, always only himself, not an emperor who is a loner, definitely not a competent emperor."

"Father, the emperor or something, let's..."

"Don't worry about it, just listen to what Wei father has to say."

Guo Peng interrupted Guo Jin's words: "The emperor is a loner, because the emperor holds the power of life and death over anyone. A person who holds this power will surely become a public enemy!"

Guo Peng squeezed Guo Jin's hand tightly, stared at Guo Jin closely, gritted his teeth, and finished speaking word by word——

"Because everyone around him will be worried that he will kill! Including parents and children! Without exception! Everyone will be afraid!"

Guo Jin suddenly widened his eyes.

Then immediately kneel down.

"Father! No son! Absolutely no son!"

"If not, why are you kneeling?"

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin who suddenly knelt down.

Guo Jin's pupils shrank and his breathing stagnated.
