At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Not to mention bitter, tiring and dirty, there is no infrastructure yet. Going there is not to enjoy the blessings, but to suffer. How could those sons of the gentry who have no ambitions since they were young are willing to go to such a place to be even a What about the Sheriff?

Naturally, no one would say such words.

Someone Guo helped them speak out.

"Guquan knows it all, because they grew up in a big city like Luoyang with rich clothes and good food, and what they see is prosperity. How can they bear it if they are asked to leave the prosperous place and go to a remote place? They can't bear it at all!

But don't the officials in those places need to do it?Aren't those places the territory of our country Wei?Is the land that Gu led the army to fight for inch by inch, wasted in vain like this?Is the blood of the soldiers shed in vain?What a jerk! "

Guo Peng slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and angrily scolded the officials around him.

The officials bowed their heads and had nothing to say.

"I don't want to do it, and I don't let others do it. Who are they? Are they the emperor or the emperor? They won't let it go? If they don't let it go, do it! Official positions are empty and there is no one there. Do it, but someone is willing and refuses to go?"

Guo Peng looked extremely angry: "Such people who have harmed the country and the people, I wish I could kill them! No one is allowed to object to this matter. It has been decided. Some people are too tired and unwilling to do it. , then don’t hinder the isolated people who are not afraid of hardships or tiredness to do it!”

This is Guo Peng's official explanation for this matter. The excuse is very simple, that is, some officials in remote areas are unwilling to do it, so don't stop him from sending someone to do it.

As for who is sent, you have no control.

Whether you send the poor family's children or the Li Shu's children, you have nothing to do with it.

No one dared to say no.

What the emperor said was indeed reasonable, and even if the emperor didn't make sense, they couldn't do anything about it.

But for now, Guo still has room for it.

This kind of thing only involves the county magistrate level, and the promotion channel for the county magistrate level has not been opened for the time being.

He didn't want to stimulate the scholars too much in advance, he wanted to leave some room for both sides to turn around, so that they could meet each other in the future, and also appropriately reduce their resistance.

And it's not yet the time to see each other.

For themselves who have taken advantage, they must not have the guts to turn against themselves at this time.

So obviously, the emperor's order will be carried out without any compromise, without any hindrance.

After finishing the outpost battle in Yecheng and setting the tone for returning to Beijing this time, Guo Peng led his army back to Beijing officially.

Knowing that the emperor was about to return triumphantly, the entire capital became more lively. Under the leadership of the two leaders, Cao Cao and Guo Jia, the officials of the capital gave the emperor a grand welcome ceremony.

There are people, there are soldiers, there are officials, and there are royal children.

One hundred miles, fifty miles, and thirty miles away from the capital, three groups were set up to welcome the envoys.

From ten miles onwards, eight miles, six miles, four miles, two miles, and the gate of the city, there will be special receptionists at these five reception points to express congratulations and respect to the emperor.

Anyway, Cao Cao and Guo Jia are well versed in the essentials of flattering, and they have mastered how to flatter, which is guaranteed to make Guo Peng feel extremely happy.

For this triumphant ceremony, Guo Jin and the children of the Guo family also started preparing very early. Originally, Cao Cao and Guo Jia only invited Guo Jin to participate, but Guo Jin offered to hope that his brothers and sisters would participate in this ceremony together. Triumph ceremony.

"They are also father's children. It is only natural for the children to go to congratulate the father on his triumphant return. This event is a grand event for the country, and it is also a grand event for my family. My father must be very willing to see his brothers and sisters greet him triumphantly."

Guo Jin said so.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.

Guo Jin's idea is indeed good, perhaps, there may be unexpected gains.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia fully assisted in this matter, while Guo Jin went to the inner palace in person to meet with these nominal concubines one by one, and then put forward his own ideas.

In this regard, both the indifferent Mi Zhen and the lively Xiao Qiao are all surprised by this.

They never thought that they were qualified to participate in this grand event, at most they just met Guo Peng at the royal internal banquet to express their congratulations.

But Guo Jin asked them to go to the public triumphant ceremony together.

"Father's triumphant return is a grand event for the country, and it is also a grand event for the Yu family. The people of the country and the family should all go to congratulate them, and there should be no separation of relatives."

Guo Jin expressed her views on this matter very generously, dispelling the doubts of Mi Zhen and others.

So they also took their children to participate in this triumphant ceremony under the arrangement of Guo Jin, and participated in the grand event of welcoming Guo Peng's return.

chapter 1129 one thousand 130 nine

In the midst of such a grand event with much attention and participation, Guo Peng returned to Luoyang with unparalleled prestige.

When I came back, I was more imposing than when I left.

After winning the battle and triumphantly, everyone from the emperor to the grassroots soldiers felt differently.

There is still a difference between the will to win and the result of winning.

But now that they have won a complete victory, this mighty army is naturally qualified to accept people's cheers, everyone's admiration and respect, and the court's super-high-standard reception.

Guo Peng was naturally pleasantly surprised.

Because after seeing Guo Jin at first, he saw the other concubines and children greet him one after another, and he was a little surprised by this.

Looking at the smiling Guo Jin, Guo Peng nodded in satisfaction.

With the concubines and children, he met Cao Lan and the other two sons at the main gate of the capital.

The crown prince was in charge of opening the way, and the queen was in charge of finishing the work at the end. The officials lined up on both sides. Everywhere they went, there were group officials congratulating them. Then they followed the emperor and continued to move forward, gradually gathering into a stream of people, moving slowly towards the capital, and Stayed outside the north gate of Luoyang.

Guo Peng is very happy about this wave of triumphant ceremony.

After entering Luoyang City, he first held a grand banquet for the officials, rewarding the officials and officials, and rewarding the three armies.

He held a banquet inside the city, and the three armies held a grand banquet outside the city. Drinks, water and meat were all you can eat. All the expenses today can be covered by the emperor's internal treasury.

All the courtiers who have worked hard for this battle can be rewarded by the emperor and can participate in this banquet.

The people in the city were also rewarded with cloth, rice, wine, and meat by Guo Peng, and he was allowed to have no curfew at night on this day.

All the people rejoiced together and drank freely to celebrate this glorious victory.

Liu Jian, the former emperor of Shanyang at the end of the Han Dynasty, came to Luoyang from Shanyang in person and congratulated Guo Peng in person.

Then he also took the initiative to make a speech saying that his abdication was too wise. He did not insist on continuing to be the emperor, but let Guo Peng be the emperor. It really was the most correct thing he did in his life.

He is now living in Sanyang. He doesn't know how happy he is. He eats, drinks and has fun. He fights cocks and dogs all day long, and spends every day of eating, drinking and having fun with a group of jugglers he collected. It's so pleasant.

There is no need to deal with government affairs, no need to read and study, no need to work hard, and no need to worry about your own safety.

He eats, drinks and plays when he opens his eyes, and sleeps when he closes his eyes. There are more than 100 professional waiters around him, providing him with absolutely high-quality services.

Then there is still a lot of money to spend. When governments at all levels are required to tighten their belts to live a hard life, Guo Peng always gives him money in different ways. He can buy whatever he wants and be happy. Like a fairy.

Beef and mutton on the grasslands in the north, all kinds of seafood in the sea, fish in the Yangtze River, fresh vegetables, the most fragrant late rice...

To be honest, he had a much more comfortable life than Mr. Guo.

Then this person was quite heartless, and he said in public that it was too correct for him to abdicate to Xian, so Guo Peng was overjoyed, took Liu Jian's hand to drink with him, danced together, and gave Liu Jian a lot of money reward.

Liu Zhang, Liu Cong, Liu Qi and other figures of the former Han clan also participated in this joyous banquet.

So they also received rewards of varying amounts.

Su Li, the last leader of the captured Xianbei, appeared on the stage in person, and cooperated with the team of court musicians and dancers to present a passionate dance for His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei Empire, which successfully detonated the audience and won high praise.

So Su Li successfully made her debut as a dancer in Luoyang City, the capital of the Great Wei Empire, and will continue to shine as a dancer for the rest of her life, serving the people.

The grand banquet was full of joy and lasted from noon until sunset.

After that, of course, there were other things, but that was after this grand celebration ceremony.

In the evening, each went back to each house to look for each mother. As the emperor, Guo Peng also had to host a family dinner, calling all the relatives in the family, the emperor's relatives, and the country to hold a second wave of relative banquets.

The family banquet was a bit smaller, but it was just as lively and exquisite. As the chief dance artist who had just debuted, Su Li performed on stage again and performed well, which was highly praised by Guo Peng.

It seems that Su Li is very happy.

At the family banquet, bragging and flattery are naturally indispensable. Even the Empress Dowager expressed sincere admiration for Guo Peng's achievements and congratulated Guo Peng.

Seeing the smile on the face of the aunt who no longer had any traces of the past, Guo Peng laughed out loud, stood up and paid respect to the [aunt].

The children came off the stage to congratulate Guo Peng, and showed their talents in some ingenious ways, as if they wanted to make Guo Peng happy.

Guo Peng laughed unceasingly, quite complacently.

The family banquet lasted for about two hours, and the meeting ended smoothly after late at night. After taking a bath, Guo Peng was completely relaxed, washed off all the fatigue on his body, and lay down beside Cao Lan, breathing comfortably tone.

"Are you tired? Would you like a massage?"

Cao Lan is still so gentle and caring, knowing what Guo Peng needs most now.

"Okay."

Guo Peng turned over and lay on the bed, showing his original appearance in a posture that only the queen could see.

Cao Lan smiled, turned over and sat on Guo Peng's buttocks, pressed his hands on his back and massaged him like rolling out noodles.

I remember that this was the most comfortable massage method that Guo Peng told her not long after the two got married more than 20 years ago. Since then, the two have maintained this method for more than 20 years.

This is something that only Cao Lan knows Cao Lan will do, and no one else will do it.

"The battle went smoothly, right? We will go out in May and return in October. In this way, no one in Wei Kingdom will doubt that our Emperor will not fight."

"Well, almost."

Guo Peng closed his eyes and rested his head on the soft pillow, panting comfortably: "After this battle, people who should be honest will not dare to move around in their lives, and some people who are not so honest will not be honest if they want to be dishonest." Measure your own weight, Alan, this time, I will really do something big."

"I know that our emperor, His Majesty, was born to do great things."

Cao Lan pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and asked, "When will it start? How long do you plan to end?"

"It won't be too soon. I still need to make some preliminary preparations and seek the assistance of some people. I can't do this kind of thing alone."

Guo Peng opened his eyes: "Before the war, distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, try to get as many helpers as possible, and gradually isolate those stubborn and stubborn people, and it will be easier to clean up."

Cao Lan nodded silently.

"You can win, right?"

"I have nowhere else to go but to win."

Cao Lan's movements paused, and after a while, she resumed her original movements.

"Anyway, no matter what, we still need to rest. Let's take a good rest and fully recover. We still have a long, long time."

Guo Peng chuckled a few times and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, Alan, I'm the emperor. The emperor always makes decisions before acting. No matter how bad it is, I have an army in my hand. With the army in hand, no one can beat me."

Cao Lan seemed to be in a heavy mood, and couldn't understand Guo Peng's emperor-style cold joke.

In order to make his mother-in-law a little happier, Guo Peng stopped talking about state affairs with her, and instead talked about the children.

Guo Peng asked how Guo Jin handled state affairs during the five months he left, whether he was filial to his mother, took care of his grandfather, and other children's homework.

Speaking of this topic, Cao Lan became more interested and praised Guo Jin.

What is serious about dealing with state affairs, starting work before dawn, and not getting off work until everyone else is asleep.

And respecting my mother, I will definitely take time to have a meal with her and my brothers every three days.

I will visit the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Empress at least once every ten days, and I will also visit several other concubines, and abide by the etiquette of being a son of man.

Speaking of this, Cao Lan suddenly felt that it was necessary to have a good chat with Guo Peng about the previous incident.

"Peng Lang, there is something I think you should know."

Chapter 1130 One thousand 140 Thinking about it now, Mr. Guo really has a guilty conscience

Cao Lan rarely spoke to Guo Peng in a serious tone.

Because she felt that it was very difficult for Guo Peng to deal with government affairs on weekdays, and she came here to rest and relax. If she still talked to him in a serious tone, he would be even more tired.

But this time, Cao Lan seemed to have something very important to say.

So Guo Peng turned his head to look at Cao Lan.

"Say it? What's the matter?"
