At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

If there is no king, the people of Qingyan and Yanzhou do not know what kind of catastrophe they will encounter, and they don't know how they will be strewn with corpses and starved to death. Could it be that such a scene did not appear because of the king?Even if the king doesn't admit such a thing, I still remember it clearly!

But at that time, looking at the whole world, who else could allow the people under the rule to give birth with peace of mind, without starvation and war?The princes of the world are rushing up, only for self-interest, only for their own selfishness, only the king, it is for the people of the world! "

Cao Cao's words were full of emotion and tears.

"When the king had not pacified Hebei, the traitor Yuan Shao perverted in Hebei and harmed the people of Hebei. The tax was heavy and the military service was heavy. Every family had a young man who was forced to serve as a soldier, and every family had relatives who died in battle. The voice of crying because of the death of a loved one can be heard.

The people in Hebei are miserable. I heard that under the rule of the king, the people are happy. There are books to read, land to grow, and food to eat. They don’t have to bear heavy military service or pay heavy taxes. When Master Wang wiped out the rebellion, the people of Hebei emptied pots of milk to welcome Master Wang. This is what the people want! "

Tian Feng knelt on the ground, talking while crying, tears and snot all over his face, but he didn't know how to wipe it off.

After the three of them finished their presentations, Cheng Yu stood up and made a summary.

"My lord, what is the aspiration of the people? This is what the aspirations of the people are! The emperor of Han issued an edict to abdicate, and all the people in the world hope that you will go further, and all the people in the world hope that you are the holy emperor. Your Majesty is the Emperor, and paying taxes for your Majesty is the wish of all people! Your Majesty!"

Cheng Yu shed tears when he said this, then knelt straight in front of Guo Peng, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is not an emperor, old minister! You can't die with peace in your eyes!!!"

Cheng Yu knelt on the ground and howled loudly.

Cao Cao, Xi Zhong and Tian Feng also howled loudly, shouting shocking words such as "If the king is not the emperor, the minister will not die in peace".

Guo Peng sat at the top with a sad face, and he was also crying.

"You have forced me to this point, leaving me with no way out, but what should I do? This is not something I am willing to do. The emperor is young and inexperienced, and you are not sensible? What face do I have? To the people of the world!"

Guo Peng howled loudly, and then stumbled out of the meeting room with tears all over his face.

It seems that the situation is very bad.

Because even so, even though Guo Peng is so resistant, so sad, and even crying loudly, he still can't stop this group of people who are trying to get rich from intimidating him. , unyielding.

Not only that, they not only worked hard on their own, not only went to battle themselves, but also dragged down Guo Peng'an's courtiers who held power and the army in the local area.

From the end of September to mid-October, the world is bustling with people, and the whirlwind of regime change is blowing fiercely to all parts of the country.

With the arrival of the second imperial edict of Emperor Han's abdication in Yecheng, local sentiment seemed to erupt in a concentrated manner, which caught Guo "off guard".

There was an emperor's edict to endorse the letter, and everyone seemed a little unscrupulous and spoke freely.

Chen Qingbiao, who invited Guo Peng to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, flew to Yecheng like a dart, and ruthlessly "pierced" into Guo Peng's heart.

Xia Houdun, governor of Bingzhou, and governors of nine prefectures of Bingzhou jointly submitted a petition asking Guo Peng to honor the emperor's edict, take care of the hearts of the people, put the overall situation first, and proclaim himself emperor.

Cao Ren, governor of Liangzhou, and the sheriffs of the four counties currently in charge of Liangzhou jointly signed the form, asking Guo Peng to follow the public opinion, take the overall situation into consideration, put aside his personal selfishness, proclaim himself emperor, and stabilize the situation.

Youzhou Inspector Xian Yufu and Daijun, Shanggu, Zhuojun, Guangyang, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi and other seven prefectures jointly listed on the list, asking Guo Peng to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Chen Gong, the governor of Yongzhou, and the prefects of Wudu, Shangyong, Hanzhong, Fufeng, Fengxu, and Jingzhao jointly signed the table, asking Guo Peng to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Cao Cao, prime minister of the state of Wei, joined forces with the governors of the ten counties of the state of Wei to submit a petition, asking Guo Peng to take the overall situation into consideration and proclaim himself emperor.

Qingzhou Inspector Mi Zhu joined forces with Qingzhou's six prefectures and state governors to submit their names on the table, asking Guo Peng to take the overall situation into consideration and proclaim himself emperor.

Manchong, governor of Yuzhou, joined forces with the governors of the six prefectures of Yuzhou to submit their names on the table, asking Guo Peng to take the overall situation into consideration and proclaim himself emperor.

Guo Rui, the governor of Yanzhou, joined forces with the governors of the eight prefectures of Yanzhou to submit their names on the table, asking Guo Peng to proclaim himself emperor.

The prefects of the four prefectures in the Sili area jointly signed the petition, asking Guo Peng to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Xuzhou Mu was concurrently held by Guo Peng himself. At this time, the seven counties of Xuzhou spontaneously united, and the governors of the seven counties jointly signed a table, asking Guo Peng to take care of the overall situation and be enthroned as emperor.

Yangzhou has just been pacified, but Gu Yong, the new governor of Yangzhou, is unequivocal. On behalf of Yangzhou, which has not yet established a complete rule, he asks Guo Peng to take the imperial edict and proclaim himself emperor.

Chapter 756. 760 Wu Guo gave professional guidance on the records of history books

Officials and generals in power in the eleven prefectures controlled by Guo Peng handed Guo Peng a joint persuasion form one after another.

Together, they must ask Guo Peng to take care of the overall situation no matter what, and ask Guo Peng to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor immediately, and become the one who can lead everyone to move forward and restore stability to the world.

The administrative bureaucrats who hold the administrative power, the generals who hold the military power, they are the actual power holders, they should have become the defenders of the Han Empire, but now, they have become the gravediggers of the Han Empire, at least on the surface people.

Having gained power, they collectively betrayed the Han Empire and the little emperor they were supposed to be loyal to, and defected to someone Guo.

Of course, they belonged to a certain Guo, but they just happened to be sitting in that position, and they had to do it as a last resort.

Right now, he is the one everyone expects, he is the only one who can convince the whole world, he can't do without being the emperor.

Only he can convince everyone.

Only he can convince that group of arrogant soldiers, and that group of intelligent scholars.

Only obey him, only recognize him.

It turns out that it’s okay not to have such a thing. Once such a thing happens, everyone will also be on a thief ship. If they don’t follow the will of God or the people’s will, their situation will be extremely embarrassing. At this time, if Guo Peng does not become the emperor, they will What should I do?

Forced to go to Liangshan, they can only go one way to the dark. If someone Guo does not become the emperor to recruit them, they will really "fall into the grass and become bandits".

So, Mr. Guo, please hurry up and become the emperor, okay?

Guo Zifeng understands the truth.

But emotionally, how embarrassing is this for the loyal minister Guo Zifeng?

Guo Zifeng believes that everyone in the world knows Guo Zifeng's heart for the country and the people, the heart of being loyal to the monarch and the country, and the heart of rebuilding the Han Dynasty.

But this group of people insisted on forcing Guo Zifeng to do what he didn't want to do, to do what he hated from the bottom of his heart.

These people did not consider Guo Zifeng's loyalty at all, but only their own wealth and power.

In the face of popular support and the general trend, Guo Zifeng is weak and powerless. He has only one person, and the other party has 40. What should he do?

Although he has powerful power, he is really too vulnerable to the will of the people and the persecution of 40 people.

He was so powerless, so at a loss, and so embarrassed.

God!

He was going to be forced to be emperor!

Is there such a reason in the world?

Even so, he can't just be regarded as the scapegoat by these people. It's obviously their selfishness and desire, but it's too unfair for Guo Zifeng, who is a loyal minister, to bear the burden.

Guo Zifeng wants to fight back!

Even a weak counterattack, a counterattack that cannot reverse the overall situation, is still a counterattack!

He must let future generations know his loyalty, and everyone must know that he, Guo Zifeng, was forced to do nothing.

He has worked hard, he has fought, he really doesn't want to be an emperor, and he doesn't want to violate his original intention of being a loyal minister.

He swore that even if he jumped out from here, he would never be the emperor!absolute!

But helpless, those people are too powerful, too strong, so strong that he can't do anything about it.

He was forced to be helpless!

Really forced to helpless ah!

So when he rejected the second imperial edict of Emperor Han, the clerk responsible for recording what happened during this period dedicated the "authentic and reliable" written records they recorded "with straight pen" to someone Guo watch.

This was requested by a certain Guo. He wanted to do this in order to show future generations his loyalty to the monarch and the country, as well as his mental journey of being forced to be the emperor.

"In the summer of three years, Master Wang was ordered to pacify the state of Wu. In July, Sun Quan was captured in Danyang, and the state of Wu was destroyed, and Jiangdong was pacified."

"September, there are two days in the sky, the unicorn appeared in Ye, the emperor felt God's will, and ordered Zen to be located in the king. Proclaimed emperor, the king was shocked, refused to follow the edict, hid his face and walked away, feeling uneasy.』

"At the beginning, Cao, Yu, etc. spread the power of the king to the world, and what the people wanted, they should follow the emperor's order and stand in place of the Han Dynasty.

"October, the emperor issued two edicts. Cao, Yu and others invited the king to ascend the throne again. There were many people who invited the king together. The king was furious and reprimanded him. He refused to follow. Wang also refused

"When the world was in turmoil, all the governors and governors came forward to persuade them to come in. When the king heard about it, his heart was always worried. He looked around and said: "Are they greedy for wealth and honor, and want to sit on my stove and go evil?" 』

After reading these "true" descriptions, Mr. Guo nodded slowly and put forward some opinions of his own.

"This is okay, the language should be simplified, some modifiers should be used in key places, and other places can be described directly, without too many descriptions, and without the subjective opinions of others."

Guo gave professional guidance to the records in the history books, saying that it is enough to have his own subjective views in these records, and the subjective views of other people are unnecessary.

Since the history books are for the genealogy of the emperors and generals, they should play the role they should have, make a family tree for the emperors and generals, and also abide by the excellent tradition of concealing the elders for the elders. What is written, what should be written, must be upright.

The scribe said 666, and he must obey, and dare not disobey.

The history books must show the fact that I was forced to be helpless and my depressed mood, and reflect the pain that I, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, was forced to do as a last resort.

Only in this way can it be justifiable to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

Only in this way can we reflect our own demeanor, cultivation and character.

Shengtianzi Shengtianzi, the key lies in the word "Holy".

So, you forced me to do all of this, not what I wanted. If you continue to force me, then I have no choice but to surrender, but I was forced, if you don’t listen to me in the future...

I will kill!

Mr. Guo has always been so clear and understanding in his work.

Everything is under control.

Of course, in addition to the outside career, the family also has to take care of it. Such an important matter can't be kept from the family, and naturally it can't be kept from it.

Rumors were flying all over Yecheng, and the emperor's edict came twice, Cao Lan naturally knew about it, but Cao Lan didn't take the initiative to ask Guo Peng.

Having been together as husband and wife for 20 years, Cao Lan knows Guo Peng well.

If Guo Peng is willing to tell her, he will say it, and if Guo Peng is unwilling to tell her, there must be his reasons.

Cao Lan trusted Guo Peng and never doubted him.

Therefore, when facing Cao Lan, Guo Peng can often remove 90.00% of his defenses, which is more than when facing anyone.

When he really felt tired, he would not go to the rooms of other concubines, but returned to his room with Cao Lan, lay on Cao Lan's lap, and asked Cao Lan to massage his temples.

It was a rare enjoyment of total body and mind relaxation, and for him, it could only be obtained here at Cao Lan.

Only here in Cao Lan can he truly rest.

It's the same this time.

Chapter 757 Six: Use History Books to Show Love

In the backyard of Prince Wei's Mansion, where the family lives.

Cao Lan has always lived in the same room with Guo Peng.

Although Guo Peng has five concubines, the one who lives with him most often is Cao Lan.

For more than 20 years, the deep affection between husband and wife is incomparable. Mi Zhen, who was the first to become Guo Peng's concubine, was only included after the birth of Guo Peng's second son, Guo Jun. At that time, Guo Peng and Cao Lan were together for nearly ten years. years.

Generally speaking, Guo Peng treats his concubines more gently and caringly the longer he stays with them.

So so far, there is still no concubine who can get better treatment than Cao Lan.

The next row is Mi Zhen.

However, it is certain that no one can replace Cao Lan's position in Guo Peng's heart.

This is true whether it is the gentle and virtuous Mi Zhen, the versatile Tian Rou and Xia Houlin, or the young and beautiful Daqiao.

Moreover, Cao Lan's identity and status are not something they can touch.

If Guo Peng became the emperor, Cao Lan must be the queen, and the remaining nobles and beauties will get their turn. Arranged according to the year, the longer the time of serving Guo Peng, the higher the status, and the shorter the time, the lower the status.

And Guo Peng would only choose to talk to Cao Lan if he had something to say.

He and other concubines are just interested, talk to them about romantic topics, talk about poetry and songs, talk about life ideals and so on, after all, Guo has also received traditional elite education for more than ten years, and talk about poetry and songs Talent or something, Tian Rou, who has expertise in this area, is not Guo Peng's opponent.

Then there was the clapping movement, nothing else.

There are a lot of things I can talk to Cao Lan, and there are enough memories with each other.

So at this time, Guo Peng was wearing loose private clothes, and routinely rested his head on Cao Lan's lap, closed his eyes, and silently enjoyed Cao Lan massaging his temples.

"Have you heard all the rumors outside?"

Guo Peng closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
