At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Cao Lan was the first to react.

"Your Majesty, this...what's going on?"

"Didn't I say that? Their marriage has been decided, the husband's family and the wife's family have already decided, and everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed. In a few days, officials from the Ministry of Rites will come to go through the process."

"........."

Cao Lan looked at the stunned children, and quickly asked, "Which families are they?"

"Ah Jun, you are going to marry the daughter of the Yuan family, the daughter of Yuan Si, the Taixue Jijiu. His daughter is about the same age as you. You can marry after you become crowned in August."

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jun.

Guo Jun blinked her eyes, opened her mouth, and said after a long while being a small court official in the name of [Zhao Yong], "But father, I don't even know about this matter, this...is Isn't it a little too sudden?"

"Don't you know now? And it doesn't matter whether you know this kind of thing or not. You are my son. You should have this kind of awareness."

"..."

Guo Jun took a deep breath, bit her lips, and nodded: "My son understands, let father decide everything."

"Ah."

Guo Peng nodded, and then looked at Guo Qiong: "Ah Qiong, you are going to marry the daughter of the Kong family in Lujun in the future. The Kong family is after Confucius, and the daughter of the Kong family is gentle and considerate. It must be your good match."

Guo Qiong is 14 years old and still a bit ignorant of all this.

He didn't know what marriage meant, but since his father said so, he accepted it.

Then he secretly looked at his elder brother Guo Jun beside him.

"Brother Zhong, how do you get married? What do you want to do when you get married?"

Guo Jun turned to look at Guo Qiong. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was a little sad like these brothers and sisters.

"Marriage is a good thing. Don't worry, your parents will prepare everything for you. You don't have to worry about anything, just wait until it's all over."

Guo Jun can only appease her younger brother who still doesn't understand what marriage means.

It was Guo Hu who was announced to be married next.

Guo Hu is the son of Mi Zhen, the bastard son of Guo Peng, the same age as Guo Qiong, and similar in appearance to Guo Peng, especially his eyes.

So Guo Peng has always been more concerned about this bastard.

"Ahu, you are going to marry the daughter of the Jia family, the daughter of the Jia family in Fufeng Pingling, who is about the same age as you. Her father Jia Kui is a good minister of the country, and the daughter she taught must be very good. After you get married, She will be a good match for you too."

Like Guo Qiong, Guo Hu still doesn't quite understand what marriage means, but this does not prevent him from reacting in the same way as Guo Qiong.

Then came the two daughters.

"The husband-in-law I chose for Yinger is the son of the Xun family, the son of Xun You. He has read poetry and books since childhood and is personable. I am very satisfied. The husband-in-law I chose for Luo'er is the son of the Kong family. After Kong Xian, he will become a descendant. The first generation of Yan Shenggong's sons of the Kong family have a distinguished status and a respected status, and these two will be good matches for my daughter."

Guo Peng announced that he had completed the marriage of his five children.

Children may be a little confused, but adults know what it means.

So Guo Jin kept her head down and said nothing. Cao Lan looked at Mi Zhen, Tian Rou and Xia Houlin who wanted to speak but dared not speak, and decided to ask by herself.

Asking some questions in his own capacity would not be so abrupt, nor would it make Guo Peng feel dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, why did you make such a sudden decision this time? Please tell our family about this matter."

Guo Peng looked at Cao Lan.

"Queen, for that matter, none of us have a choice, neither do the children, nor do I."

Cao Lan suddenly understood everything.

So she stopped talking and looked at Guo Jun and Guo Qiong.

Seeing that Cao Lan stopped talking, Mi Zhen, Tian Rou and Xia Houlin didn't dare to say anything.

They knew very well that Guo Peng's decision was absolute and there would be no change.

Guo Peng has always been gentle and tolerant towards them, but they are more aware that Guo Peng's gentleness and tolerance are based on absolute authority.

Although this day came really suddenly, but this day will come after all.

The children of the royal family have to serve the royal family all their lives.

Being born in the royal family is not just for them to enjoy fine clothes and fine food from birth.

It is a serious misunderstanding to think that being born in the royal family will give you a life of prosperity and freedom.

In essence, princes and daughters are commodities in the eyes of the emperor, and everything about them can be measured by their interests.

Except for Guo Jun, the marriages of the other children are still a few years away, so they are not in a hurry, they still have enough time to slowly understand and understand.

After this brief family meeting, Guo Peng left Guo Jin and his two daughters, Guo Ying and Guo Luo, and let the others go first, leaving only the four of them in the banquet hall.

"Ying'er, Luo'er, come, come to father."

Guo Peng drank a glass of wine, stretched out his hand, and called his two daughters to him.

Guo Ying and Guo Luo walked over obediently, and then they were hugged by Guo Peng, and they sat on his two legs.

"Do you know what marriage is?"

The two sisters looked at each other and nodded together.

"Just marry a man and live with him for the rest of your life."

"Just like my mother."

Guo Peng smiled and nodded.

"That's true, but it's not just that. Marriage is a very complicated matter. Sometimes, it's a strong alliance between two equally well-matched families. Sometimes, it's a strong and a weak family due to various factors. The combination, sometimes it is the result of one party's deliberate deliberation, and there are very few cases where it is purely accidental."

When Guo Peng said this, the two daughters didn't understand at all.

Looking at the ignorant eyes of the two daughters, Guo Peng smiled wryly and shook his head.

"It's too early to tell you this now. Anyway, there are still three years left, so you don't need to worry about it. You just need to understand these principles within these three years. There is one more thing you must remember."

Guo Peng's face became serious.

"At any time, you must put our royal family first in your hearts, and any action you take in your husband's house must put the royal family's interests as the top priority. You must never forget this.

Because only when the royal family is strong and the royal family develops well, your husband's family will treat you kindly, respect you, and dare not neglect you. Besides, for people like us, everything is imaginary. is fake. "

The two daughters nodded ignorantly, as if they understood, but they didn't seem to understand.

That's right, it's too difficult to expect them to understand this truth now.

Guo consciously believes that his role as emperor is far more important than his role as father in his life.

He must pour all his essence into the role of emperor, and the role of father can only be allocated some leftovers.

Most of these leftovers were also given to Guo Jin, and it was not easy for the other children to get a little bit of scraps.

Some of them can't even share the crumbs, and they can't see them a few times throughout the year.

From this point of view, as a father, Guo Peng is undoubtedly a scum, not even a scum, just a political creature who exchanges his son and daughter as political chips.

From a moral point of view, he is a scum, a scum.

This is beyond doubt.

chapter 1166 one thousand 170 six you are a good emperor

Although Guo is undoubtedly a scum in terms of morality.

However, occasionally, when treating one's own flesh and blood relatives, there is still such a pitiful, almost invisible concern.

At this moment, driven by such a pitiful and almost invisible concern, Guo Peng sighed and hugged his two daughters in his arms.

"Ying'er, Luo'er, Daddy has one more thing to tell you, you must remember it and never forget it for the rest of your life, remember, don't believe in any sweet words and vows, it's meaningless at all, mouths are born to eat and lie people.

Look at a man, don't listen to what he says, but watch what he does, if he really cares about you, you can see it in his actions, if he doesn't care about you, what he says to you will definitely be More than done for you. "

He asked his two daughters to keep this sentence in their hearts, memorize it, and recite it to the point where it can be engraved in their heads and never forgotten, and even engraved into their DNA.

It's also one of the few things he can do as a father.

The two daughters left in a daze.

Guo Jin didn't leave, Guo Jin was kept by Guo Peng.

"Ajin, in the future, if the father is gone, you have to remember that every year, you have to correspond with your married sister and daughter, which means that you value them and you have not forgotten them. In this way, they living environment will be better.

If you don't pay attention to them, they don't know who will be bullied and scorned by someone, because in many cases, we can't choose the best husband-in-law for them, what we can always choose is for us most suitable. "

Guo Jin was silent for a while.

"The son knows...has the father already discussed with those four families?"

"Well, it's settled, we've done everything we need to do, we've got what we deserve, and we've given them what we deserve. There's only one Huan family left, and I plan to keep it for my father, and give the opposition a leader." people, let them have someone to follow, and then facilitate their gathering together."

Guo Peng nodded.

Guo Jin let out a long sigh of relief.

"Father has been preparing for many years, and finally, he is going to accomplish a major event."

"Yeah, a big event is about to be done, but before this big event can be done, you have to arrange the lifelong events of your three younger brothers and two younger sisters."

Guo Peng drank a glass of wine with a wry smile.

"Father……"

"Ah Jin."

Guo Peng sighed: "Even if my father is the emperor, even if my father has the strongest military power in the world, there are things that my father can't do, and sometimes I have to compromise, and I can't do whatever I want. I can do whatever I want.

The power is in my hands, but they have accumulated so many generations of things, once I take them away, I always have to give them something that can make them feel relieved, otherwise, this heart will no longer be.

As a father, I will never have children with any woman again. To give birth to children is to use them as bargaining chips and send them out at the right time to seek more benefits. How cruel it is to be brought to the royal family. "

Guo Peng drank three glasses of wine in a row, and then held Guo Jin's hand.

"Ajin, I hope that you, and your brothers and sisters, will not be born in the emperor's house for generations to come."

Guo Jin still doesn't quite understand why Guo Peng said that.

Being born in an emperor's family is at least better than being born in an ordinary family, right?

At least he doesn't have to worry about food or clothing, he is born with rich clothes and good food, and all kinds of treatment are the best. Although he doesn't go to the point of doing whatever he wants, compared to those peasant children rolling in the fields, Guo Jin still feels deeply Luckily.

However, for my father to feel this way, he must have experienced some things that he has not yet experienced.

Will my future self have the same thoughts?

Guo Jin didn't know, but he hoped he would never know.

At night, lying on the bed, Guo Peng held Cao Lan in his arms, filled with emotion.

"Alan, am I a particularly bad father?"

He asked so, hoping to get an affirmative answer from his wife.

Cao Lan hesitated for a while.

"You are a very good emperor."

She answered the question sideways.

Guo Peng understood.

"I'm not a saint, I don't have that great supernatural power, I can't be worthy of everyone at the same time, Alan, the emperor can comfort himself in this way, but a father can't do it, I feel very guilty."

"The big event that Peng Lang wants to do, you should already have the chance to win it?"

"Ah."

Guo Peng did not deny: "I have done everything that should be done, and I have done it. If it is not successful, it is God's will, and I have nothing to do. But before that, I will use everything and strive to achieve success in one go." Total victory."

"If that's the case, it won't be a waste of your efforts to win over those four families."

Cao Lan sighed quietly.

"Are you blaming me? Blaming me for sending the kids out?"
