At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Su Yuan quickly sent a smiling face.

"You also know that it's your job to make me happy?"

The smile on Guo Peng's face suddenly disappeared, turned into a group of chills, and said sharply: "It is also your duty to comment on officials, gossip and gossip in front of the emperor, and discuss government affairs? Is it because I have indulged you too much, you That’s why I don’t know who I am anymore?”

Su Yuan's expression froze, and then he immediately reacted, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! This old slave didn't mean it! This old slave didn't mean it! This old slave really didn't mean it! Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"I don't remember that I taught you to tell stories in front of me, to talk about courtiers and government affairs, you should know who you are and what you are here for, if you don't know, I don't need this kind of thing around me." People who don't know what to do."

Guo Peng's voice was full of coldness.

Su Yuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, he trembled all over, and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me... this old servant will never dare again! Never again! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Feeling Su Yuan's full desire to survive, Guo Peng was satisfied.

People, you have to beat, if you don't beat and beat, you will always be flattered, and you will easily get carried away.

Once you get carried away, it is easy to forget your identity and the environment you are in, and you will cross the line,

Someone Guo is the emperor.

The emperor hates subordinates crossing the line the most.

Chapter 916. 920 Is Liu Cuiqu the only one who will die?

Eunuchs are an indispensable help for Guo to fight against scholars and bureaucrats.

Without the eunuch as an arm, Guo could not fight against the scholars and bureaucrats, because they were too numerous.

But as someone Guo's dog, the eunuch needs to understand a truth——

What is your identity, what should you say, what should you do.

Don't say what the emperor forbids to say, don't do what the emperor forbids to do.

Those who understand these principles are the eunuchs that the emperor can trust.

If you don't understand these principles, you shouldn't exist.

Now it seems that Su Yuan has not fully understood this truth.

So someone Guo doesn't mind being his teacher, let him study this course well.

"Remember your own duty, what you should do, what you should not do, what you should say, what you should not say, you must keep in mind. This time I will forgive you, but you will not have a second chance."

There was no emotion in Guo Peng's voice.

Su Yuan only felt a bone-chilling chill, so he quickly expressed his loyalty.

"The old slave knows, the old slave knows, the old slave will never do it again! Never again! The old slave will never talk too much! Never again!"

Su Yuan lay down on the ground and kowtowed.

Guo Peng nodded.

"Okay, get up and continue the massage, my shoulder is a little sore."

Guo Peng turned around and picked up his pen, continuing to deal with government affairs.

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got up to continue massaging Guo Peng.

That heart beats.

Bang bang bang bang.

A feeling of gratitude for surviving after the catastrophe filled Su Yuan's heart.

But before he could relax a little bit, Guo Peng's voice sounded again.

"By the way, Su Yuan, I heard that someone sent you money? The amount seems to be quite a lot?"

Su Yuan trembled all over, the movements of his hands stopped suddenly, and his whole body froze.

"Your Majesty... old... old slave..."

"Isn't the money I gave you enough? Are you so poor that you have to go everywhere to make money?"

Su Yuan was so frightened that his mind went blank and he couldn't say anything.

Guo Peng smiled.

"Collecting money is not a bad thing. I know that you people have nothing to pursue. It's nothing more than getting more money and eating better. I didn't stop you, just give it away. That's not what I care about, but Su Far away, take people's money and get rid of disasters with people.

Money is not taken for nothing. Whose money do you take and who do you want to eliminate disasters for? You have to be clear in your heart. The person who gave you the money must be thinking of making you work hard for me, but I am the emperor. It doesn't seem so easy to use the emperor to make money, right? "

Guo Peng turned his head and glanced at Su Yuan, the smile on his face became colder and colder.

Su Yuan's legs softened and he knelt down.

"Your Majesty... this old servant... this old servant was just confused for a while, this old servant... this old servant will return the money immediately, no more, never again! Absolutely no more!"

"Take it."

Guo Peng turned his head and stopped looking at Su Yuan: "I know who gave you the money, and I also know what the purpose is. If they are willing to give you money, then give it. You are my personal eunuch. You can give it to me." He doesn't dare to blame you for taking money for nothing. If he blames you, I'll kill him for you.

Then, what channel did that person use to give you the money, you have to be clear, go and get rid of that channel yourself, don’t leave any traces, I want the inner court, so that the outer court can’t figure it out I’m thinking What, but if the inner court leaks, what is the use of the inner court? "

Su Yuan swallowed.

"The old slave understands, the old slave... will do it right away!"

"Don't worry, continue to massage."

"Observe...obey the order."

Realizing that he had passed the test in danger, Su Yuan's heart was filled with the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe.

Quickly continue to massage Guo Peng's shoulders.

Although his life was not in danger, deep fear and regret arose in Su Yuan's heart.

Fear of this master.

Regret about collecting money itself.

He shouldn't have been carried away by the money.

He was also full of complaints about those who gave him money.

The only thing Su Yuan didn't know was how much did the emperor know?

In the past two years, how much did the emperor know about what happened in the palace?

Su Yuan didn't know.

Of course Cui Yan didn't know either.

Of course, for Cui Yan, the most important thing now is not to know too many things, but to act immediately to save the situation and protect the safety of the family.

A whole family of hundreds of people, are they going to lose their heads together?

No!

As Cui's spokesperson, Cui Yan must use the fastest speed to restore the situation.

So after Cui Yan left the palace, he found Cui Qu directly, and without a word, he was tied up in his own mansion, and then supervised by himself, and the servant beat Cui Qu to death with a stick.

The scene was so cruel that it was hard to look directly at it, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, but Cui Yan watched the whole process with his stomach churning, which was equivalent to carrying out this "family law" himself.

It is worthwhile to exchange one person's life for the safety and future prospects of the whole family.

It was very fortunate to be spared from the emperor's thunderous wrath.

Cui Yan dared not have any dissatisfaction.

And the news of this matter also followed the spread of Duzhijian, and soon spread to many government offices in the imperial city.

Every official working in the imperial city knew about it.

In exchange for the emperor's forgiveness, Cui Yan personally led someone to enforce the family law against his nephew Cui Qu, and beat Cui Qu to death.

In a month's time, this sudden turmoil has undergone many reversals, from the initial economic problem to a fatal political problem.

Reversed to the present, many government agencies have been involved, and many people have been involved.

But no one has lost their life yet.

Now the first person to lose his life appeared.

Whether there will be latecomers, everyone still does not know.

Although not everyone is in danger now, the involvement is indeed very wide. Apart from the staff desk and the army generals, most of the officials are involved and it is difficult to get out.

After all, in the court, there are not many people who are clean and self-sufficient.

Everyone is in the same spirit, and the relationship network handed down from the former Han Dynasty was destroyed by the flames of war for a while, but in the past two years, it has re-formed again.

But this time, before the newly formed relationship network had time to formally operate, it became a mess in the sudden storm.

The network connection between people is very delicate, and the connection of this relationship itself is also relatively fragile, which cannot tolerate the blow of the storm.

Fortunately, the emperor's sudden blow has completely messed up the relationship network in the court of the Wei Empire that was just formed.

Who is a friend, who is an enemy, who will kill oneself, and who will help oneself, has become a mess.

For a while, everyone couldn't figure it out.

People in the network are implicated, and those who are not implicated are those who are relatively low-status and are not accepted into the network.

The little characters are rejoicing.

Those involved are apprehensive.

So far, they have not paid attention to the content of business tax reform.

They have not paid attention to the fact that the cause of this matter is a commercial and tax dispute. Now they are more concerned about whether their power will be affected.

Compared with money, power is more important. As long as you have power, you will have money sooner or later. If you don't have power, no amount of money is useless.

It's just a powerful one.

In the late period of the middle and late Han Dynasty, how the emerging tycoons were suppressed by the old tyrants - the gentry is still fresh in everyone's memory.

If you can't become the top gentry, no matter how much your family property is, you will be weak and weak in the face of high-level suppression. Everyone knows this very well.

So what everyone is most concerned about now is not the first thing, but Guo Peng's solution to this.

It is Guo's attitude towards this.

What would the emperor, who had wielded enormous power, think of this matter?

What kind of method will be used to deal with this matter?

Is Cui Qu the only one who will die?

If not, who else would unfortunately become a tool for the emperor to vent his anger?

no one knows.

But after all, someone has died.

In the past two years, Cui Yan, who had been in the limelight and had a faint tendency to become the leader of the court sergeants, beat his son Cui Qu to death in his own home, and then carried his body to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor in person.

With such a humiliating gesture in exchange for the emperor's forgiveness and the survival of the family.

Only in the face of the danger of the family's survival, Cui Yan, a righteous "scholar leader", would do such a thing.

To do such a thing that shocks everyone.

Chapter 917 Seven Cuiqu case

The news of Cui Yan's righteous killing of relatives shocked the officialdom of the Wei Empire.
