At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Peng stared at Guo Jin: "A Jin, who is your uncle? Whose nephew are you?"

Guo Jin was taken aback.

"of course……"

Before she finished speaking, Guo Jin suddenly shrank her pupils and realized what Guo Peng meant.

"You are the prince of Wei! The unique prince! Now the prince! The future is the emperor! The unique emperor!"

Guo Peng's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: "A Jin, remember, I won't say it again as a father. You don't have an uncle. In front of you, there is only Cao Cao, the chief assistant of the cabinet! Everyone you face has Officials are all your enemies! The only difference for you is whether you can use them or not!"

"Yes! Father, my son knows his mistake!"

Guo Jin quickly knelt down and confessed to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng stared at Guo Jin for a while, then reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Get up."

Only then did Guo Jin straighten up slowly, with an unconcealable look of panic on her face.

"Father knows that you have a very close relationship with your uncle, but you have to remember that your uncle is the chief minister of the cabinet. You have to know what kind of power the cabinet holds and how much power he has. What will your power bring you, whether it is good or bad!"

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand: "Remember, when power is in hand, what is blood relationship? Don't Lu and Liu Ying have blood relationship? The result? Our father and son can't let the Cao family become Liu Bang's Lu family! As a father, I can't just watch you or your son become Liu Ying!"

The Cao family cannot be turned into Liu Bang's Lu family.

Such a voice kept echoing in Guo Jin's mind.

Guo Jin pursed his lips and swallowed.

I am not Liu Ying.

My son will definitely not be either!

Absolutely, absolutely not becoming Liu Ying.

He figured it out.

"My son understands that no one can be allowed to threaten the emperor or the imperial power. Anyone who threatens this must be checked and balanced. Those who cannot be checked and balanced must be cut off! No matter who it is!"

"now it's right."

Guo Peng nodded: "In front of you, all people with official positions are not only your enemies, but also your pawns. You have to learn to use these pawns to accomplish what you want. Give chess pieces rewards, but never give chess pieces the chance to turn themselves into chess players."

Chapter 906 .910 Six worlds have been suffering for a long time!

"Chess pieces... and chess players..."

Guo Jin read these two words softly.

For these two words, Guo Jin's feelings are not as deep as Guo Peng's.

After all, he was not an ant from birth, at least he was also a pawn.

Not to mention now, he is destined to become a chess player in the world.

The change of identity happened unintentionally for him, and he himself didn't realize it. When he didn't feel it, the nature of his identity changed qualitatively.

All of this was brought to him by someone from Guo.

Guo Jin couldn't understand the hardships and struggles of someone Guo from an ant to a chess piece to a chess player.

Guo Jin couldn't understand the process of being cautious and fighting for life in the period of ants, and being a dog and fighting for life on a larger scale in the period of chess pieces, and now that power is overwhelming the world.

Empathy does not exist, and someone Guo never thought about letting Guo Jin experience what an ant is, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can become a qualified chess player, that's enough.

He is already a chess player, it is enough to learn how to become a chess player.

Just like someone Guo, he no longer needs the skills of the ants and chess pieces, what he needs now is how to control all of them.

Guo Jin also needs it.

"Ah Jin, my father's background is not high. In the beginning, my father wasn't even worthy of being a pawn. He was just an ant. Later, after fighting with his life, he killed the former cruel official Yang Qiu. In this way, my father finally became a pawn in the hands of others." A chess piece, and then, it took another 18 years to become the current world chess player for my father."

Guo Peng sighed: "A Jin, you are very lucky, you were at least a chess piece from birth, and now, you can be a chess player, but you have to know that not everyone is willing to be a chess piece, chess players, every bit of it You can’t even have kindness and softness, use it when you need it, and give it up if you need it.”

Guo Jin was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Father's teaching, son will never forget."

"Ah."

Guo Peng nodded: "Now you should understand why my father did this. My father's purpose is to let Cao Cao, Wang Can and Zaoyi together form one group, and let those who oppose them become another group. The two groups fought over whether to raise taxes or not.

The more fierce the fight, the better, and the more fierce the bite, the better. If the face is torn, there is no possibility of reconciliation, and they will be forced to be hostile to the Cao family, forming a force to restrict the Cao family. Except for the emperor himself, no one can be aloof. "

Guo Jin nodded repeatedly.

"My son understands that Cao's status is detached. If he goes against him, some people will be afraid. So this time, father will force some people to stand on the opposite side of Cao's, so as to curb the actions of Cao and the ministers behind him. Power."

Guo Peng was satisfied with this.

"That's right, there are some things that are inconvenient for us father and son to do, but it doesn't matter. The emperor doesn't have to always end up playing games with others in person. The emperor wants to manipulate his courtiers, drive tigers and wolves away, and use two groups with different interests to fight each other and profit from it." .

In the current court situation, Yuan Congxun's ministers are too powerful, and they have great power in both military and political circles. As a father, you can control them, but you can't. Therefore, as a father, you must start to weaken them and find enemies for them. Our father and son are the best. "

Guo Jin expressed his understanding.

Afterwards, Guo Peng ordered that the draft be released to see what kind of reaction would make someone Guo feel happy.

What happened afterwards perfectly fit Guo's previous predictions.

After the stakeholders learned the full content of this bill, they immediately exploded like a monkey whose tail was stepped on.

They immediately grinned at Wang Can and Cao Cao, and raised their sharp claws, full of murderous intent and hostility, ready to make Wang Can and Cao Cao's faces blossom at any time.

At this time, who can take care of Cao Cao's status as a relative of the emperor and be afraid to do anything?

Any more scruples about this and that, they will directly steal money from our pockets if they push their noses on their faces!

I don't know good from bad!Really don't know good from bad!

If this business tax bill is really going to be passed, wouldn't that be the end of the game?

How much blood will everyone be sucked out of? !

Can this be tolerated?

No!

"Concession step by step, in exchange for such a result, those people rely on the support of the emperor, press every step of the way, if we continue to retreat, we must die without a place to die!"

"That's right, this time, we absolutely cannot back down. If we back down again, there is no way we can back down. People are knives and I are fish. Is this the situation we want?"

"Be sure to do it, and never back down. Cao Mengde and Wang Zhongxuan are in the same boat, plotting against us together, and doing such an excessive thing, no matter what, we can't back down anymore!"

Some people have reached a consensus and have a common goal.

Fight back!

Must fight back!

If you don't fight back, it's really over!

So the counterattack officially began.

In addition to the previous counterattack method of playing the bitterness card, they took the initiative to attack again and launched a brand new counterattack.

If it was just a test before, it was just a side kick, it was just a warning, and it was a strategy of retreating to advance, then this time there is no doubt.

It is a political struggle.

Or the kind of brutal political struggle that tries to put people to death.

It is a strong personal attack against some officials themselves.

For them, this attack is really not small.

The main target of their personal attacks was Wang Can, the vanguard who advocated advancing the matter in the court.

Apparently, this group of people believed that the Ministry of Finance in charge of Wang Can was the main driver of this action, and that it was the Ministry of Finance in charge of Wang Can who mainly formulated policies, so they thought that as long as Wang Can was killed, everything would be better.

The way they targeted Wang Can did not exceed Guo's expectations at all.

It is all kinds of accusations, and then sue him to someone in Guo, saying that he is guilty and unworthy of being a minister of the Ministry of Finance, and asking Guo Peng to take him down.

The charges here are actually very general and nothing new. Basically, it means that he is corrupt and asked to suspend him for investigation. After finding out, he will be severely punished.

The Biao Zou listed many evidences of Wang Can's corruption.

For example, they accidentally heard that Wang Can had embezzled a sum of money for the construction of a palace for a certain person in Guo, and turned the high-quality materials into inferior materials, which made the quality of the palace lower and unsafe, but Wang Can did nothing. Don't care, even dare to embezzle this kind of money.

It is also said that Wang Can once embezzled the food and military pay sent to the front line, as well as the rewards that the soldiers should have received for their meritorious service. He fumbled around in it and took away a lot of benefits. Also listed, looks real.

Some people also said that Wang Can embezzled the locust control funds allocated by the imperial court to Qingzhou and Yanzhou, so that Qingzhou and Yanzhou did not receive enough funds for locust control and could not raise enough ducks. Large-scale locust plagues caused local food losses.

Some people also said that Wang Can did not cultivate virtue after his status was high, treated his subordinates harshly, and was not friendly to his colleagues. He often bullied others, accepted bribes from his subordinates, and facilitated others.

In addition to corruption, it means that Wang Can's charges of moral corruption and bullying are somewhat interesting.

For example, some people said that Wang Can relied on his high status and power, and he didn't care about his family. When the family's evil slaves went out to buy supplies, they bullied others and beat the peddlers, but they were not punished afterwards.

Some people also said that the big yellow dog raised by Wang Can's family was bitten by a servant when he was taken out for a walk. As a result, someone died in the family. Wang Can discussed with his wife when he was sleeping at night, and asked his wife to come forward and give a small sum of money to seal it. If people dare to speak out, they will be killed.

The list goes on and on.

It can be seen from their performances that Wang Can is a heinous bastard.

Not only is Wang Can embezzled and embezzled public funds in various ways, but he has created his own small circle in the Ministry of Finance, treating the Ministry of Finance as his own rather than the country's.

Not only bullying others, but also the servants and dogs at home, bullying the people of Li.

A dog and a servant in Wang Can's family are more noble than the people of the Li people. Is there such a reason in the world?

His Majesty!Open your eyes and see your world!What has become of this country?

The king of suffering in the world has been able to last for a long time!

In Guo's understanding, that's probably what they mean.

Chapter 907 The Offensive and Defensive Alliance of Cao Cao and Wang Can in 910 Seven

Someone Guo really didn't know that Wang Can had done so many outrageous things.

Things that even the Linzi camp couldn't find out, these guys actually found out the truth, and described it with nose and eyes, as if they were actually there.

Even when Wang Can was sleeping at night, he was able to know the private content such as explaining things to his wife in his room. Not only did he know, but he could also write down the specific content of the conversation!

It seemed that they were watching Wang Can and his wife talking in Wang Can's bedroom at that time.

This made someone Guo suddenly feel that the Linzi camp spies he had placed in Wang Can's house were nothing more than waste, a waste of the internal savings that he had worked so hard to earn, and he couldn't even find out this kind of private conversation between husband and wife.

Guo never expected that the professional secret intelligence agency he had worked hard for more than ten years would be so poor!

Even the intelligence system that the courtiers sprang out of nowhere can compare to!

Is the Linzi camp too useless, or is the intelligence system of the courtiers too advanced and developed?

If someone in Guo didn't know it well, he might think they used something like a bug.

Their attack on Wang Can was quite violent, but the content against Zaoyi and Cao Cao was relatively small, and the intensity was not as high as against Wang Can.

These two people are in a different situation from Wang Can.

Cao Cao is a foreign relative and Guo Peng's brother-in-law. If he rashly opened fire on Cao Cao, he might offend the queen and then the emperor. If the emperor gets angry and insists on business tax reform, they will suffer heavy losses.

Not to mention Cao Cao's status as a foreign relative, Zaozhi is not easy to provoke.

He is a veteran of Yuan Cong who is serious and honest. He is a veteran of Guo Peng when he was the prefect of Shanggu. His roots are upright and Miaohong. There are very good interpersonal relationships within the Yuancong Group.

If you want to attack Zaoyi rashly, even within the Yuancong Group there are people who are dissatisfied with Zaoyi, but they are not ordinary people after all. Not good.

So the anti-commercial tax group finally decided to play around the edges.

For Zaoyi, they chose to attack Zaoyi's two cronies in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, saying that these two cronies had committed corruption and dereliction of duty, and they needed to be strictly investigated to find out the facts of their crimes.
