At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Going out, looking outside, and looking further afield, that is where the hope lies. In this way, even if the Wei Empire declines, is destroyed, and is terminated, the Huaxia people will not sink.

Because they still have stars and seas.

In addition, Guo Peng knew that in another 1000, 2000, and 3000 years, there was no way to change it.

At the end of the 12th year of Yande, Guo Peng led the team again and took his family to the hot spring palace outside Luoyang city.

Everything seems to have not changed at all, who is missing, who is missing, does not seem to make the atmosphere here strange—as long as Guo Peng is still there.

Bathing with the kids, chatting with the kids, doing a little bit of fatherhood, etc.

During the rare holidays of the year, Guo Peng is more like a father than ever before.

Not just an emperor.

Guo Jun was sent out to participate in the great cause of locust control in Guanzhong. She did a lot of work and was very busy. The only time she could be reunited with her family throughout the year was a five-day holiday.

He hurried back from Guanzhong and joined his family's hot spring trip. This pattern has been going on for many years.

Every year, the reunion is similar, with a few fewer people anyway.

This year is different.

In previous years, Guo Peng had never been alone with him.

This time, Guo Peng got along with him alone.

As a father, get along with him alone in the other courtyard of the hot spring palace.

"Ajun, are you 27 years old this year?"

"Yes, I didn't expect my father to remember his son's age."

Guo Peng took Guo Jun to walk in the other courtyard.

It snowed heavily last night. Today, some snow has accumulated in the other courtyard, and the scenery looks good.

Guo Peng smiled bitterly.

"Being a father is not a good father, but it is not enough to forget the birthdays and ages of the children. This is something that a father can still remember."

"My son didn't mean that."

Guo Jun shook his head.

"It's just that in these years, every birthday, I have been on business in Guanzhong, and I can't go back to Luoyang to thank my parents during the holidays, which makes my son feel very regretful."

"Is that so..."

Guo Peng sighed: "For your brothers, I have deep expectations for my father. You can make tangible achievements in Guanzhong. This is something that I am gratified for my father. Your brother has grown up, and you have grown up too." , very pleased for my father."

"Thank you father."

Guo Jun didn't know why Guo Peng suddenly brought up these things and talked to herself alone.

Could it be that there is something important?

For me, apart from being a prince, there are no other important things.

And this point has been understood very thoroughly since Guo Jun became sensible.

In name, he is the emperor's direct son and has the right to inherit the throne, but he knows better that as the second son, he does not have this right. Only his elder brother and eldest son Guo Jin is the heir to the throne.

Because of the different order of birth, he is five years younger than his elder brother, so he can only be the prince, not the prince.

Unless Guo Jin is gone.

This society, this empire, pays attention to the eldest son inheritance system, and his father has implemented the eldest son inheritance system to the extreme, preventing others from coveting the slightest bit.

The eldest son can have the richest inheritance - as long as he does not make mistakes and does not lose his status as the eldest son.

And other children get only a few insignificant leftovers.

This is undoubtedly brutal.

For official families, the most important legacy is the father's political legacy.

The most important legacy is the political legacy accumulated by my father's lifelong ups and downs in the officialdom, political connections, political connections of relatives and friends, etc.

And these belong to the eldest son, and the rest of the children can only get the money - to share with the eldest son.

The eldest son can get all these, but they can't. This is the core of the feudal system of etiquette and law.

If it is applied to the Guo family and the royal family, it is the most important legacy of Guo Peng as his father - the throne and power, which belong to Guo Jin and not to any other children, including Guo Jun.

They can only get some insignificant leftovers, such as wealth, such as a future where they can live comfortably, and then submit to their elder brother and become subjects under his elder brother's rule.

From then on, they were no longer just brothers, but even monarchs and ministers.

Monarchs and ministers are greater than brothers.

They can only live in the shadow of their elder brother for the rest of their lives.

Guo Jun is very clear about these reasons.

Although he and Guo Jin are the closest brothers and sisters, that cannot change the fact.

Unless Guo Jin committed an unforgivable crime, according to the succession system, his second son would automatically become the eldest son and the first candidate for the throne.

It's just not possible.

Guo Jin is very good, very good, has done very well in all aspects, and has won the trust of Guo Peng.

Guo Peng treats Guo Jin better than any brothers and sisters.

Guo Jin can spend the longest time with his father, serve him and receive education from his father. This is his exclusive treatment, and other brothers and sisters don't even think about it.

Those younger brothers and sisters may not see Guo Peng several times throughout the year.

Guo Pengzhen may not be able to remember their birthdays and ages.

Guo Jun guessed so.

He was not without complaints, and he was not without disgust for all this.

He has imagined more than once how the situation would change if he were the eldest son.

The more he imagined this, the more he hated the eldest son inheritance system, and the more he was full of envy and jealousy towards Guo Jin.

Only by staying away from the court, staying away from Luoyang, and swaying his sweat and youth on the land of Guanzhong, can he feel a little bit better and make him feel that he is needed.

Why is there such a system in which successors are determined solely by the order of birth?

Guo Jun didn't understand, and couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so she just didn't think about it.

Anyway, he knew that he was hopeless, and he was destined not to be the chosen one, unless Guo Jin was gone.

So regarding Guo Peng's purpose of calling him here, he had doubts, fears, worries, including a trace of untraceable excitement.

90.00% nine is the news he doesn't want to hear.

There is still one percent, it will be the news he wants to hear.

He can dream in his dreams, the insignificant desire that God hides deep in his heart and dare not tell anyone,

"Do you know why my father called you here alone?"

Guo Peng spoke.

Suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart, Guo Jun shook her head.

"My son doesn't know, please show my father."

Guo Peng took a few steps forward and turned to look at his second son.

"What Weifu wants to discuss with you is about your future, after Weifu is no longer the emperor, your future."

Guo Jun stopped, raised her head in astonishment, and looked at Guo Peng.

His mouth was slightly opened, and he couldn't say a word because he was too shocked.

Guo Peng was not surprised by this.

"You are the second son, although you are also the son, but because your elder brother is in front, you are not qualified to inherit the throne, this is clear.

Ajun, in a short time, maybe a year or two, maybe tomorrow, my father will abdicate and hand over the throne to Ajin, your elder brother will become the new emperor, and my father will become the overlord. "

Chapter 1425 One thousand 330 five For the future, you can be the king of a country

Guo Jun was originally speechless because of worry, but now that Guo Peng said this, Guo Jun was even more speechless.

But this will not change Guo Peng's determination a little bit.

Guo Peng is determined.

"This is the result of my father's deliberation. It's not a whim. There are still some things to do for my father. After these things are completed, my father will abdicate. It won't be long before the throne will be handed over to your brother and let him do it. emperor."

Guo Peng smiled: "Do you think it was unexpected and surprised?"

Guo Jun looked at Guo Peng with a look of astonishment on his face for a long time, and then tried very hard to put away this expression.

But it was not successful.

"Father...the Spring and Autumn Period is in its prime, why... why so soon..."

"Being an emperor is very tiring, very tiring, terribly tiring."

Guo Peng shook his head and sighed: "It's only been more than ten years, my father has been exhausted, I don't have any more energy, my father has fought against too many people, fought with too many people, and killed too many people , While gaining power, he also exhausted his energy prematurely.

Over the years, my father has obviously felt that his energy is low. When I was in my 30s, I could do it in one night. Now I can’t finish it in two or three days. Sometimes I have a lot of words that I want to write in the notebook. When it was time to write, I couldn't write anything.

Before, I could still have the energy to practice swinging a knife, practice stabbing a spear, practice charging immediately, and tell myself that I am not too old to be a father, but now I can’t do it. It is easy to get sleepy and want to sleep. Not as much as before, and my sleep is not as stable as before. "

Seeing Guo Peng seemed like an old man explaining his funeral.

Guo Jun was shocked to find that she seemed to be a little taller than her father.

The figure of the tall and majestic father in memory has gradually become less tall and majestic.

In my memory, my father was full of black hair and energetic, and his temples were also stained with hoarfrost.

Father is old.

"Father……"

"For my father, I have put too much energy into fighting those bastards. In the past ten years, I have done too many things for my father, and I have overdrawn my energy in advance. If I continue, I should lose my life, but for my father Can't die that early."

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes: "Many policies are long-term. If you want to see results, you need a lot of time. You need to live for your father. Many people need to live for your father to suppress them. Give your brother enough time to arrange the layout.

You can't die so early for your father, you have to live, even if you live as the Supreme Emperor, you have to live, as long as you live for your father, the younger generation will not dare to move, as long as you live for your father, nothing will happen to Wei Guotianxia turmoil.

The most important thing in the political situation of the Wei State today is stability. If you live for your father, you will be able to watch the succession of the throne, watch your brother become the emperor, and then give him a ride so that he can secure the position of emperor. work. "

Guo Jun didn't know what to say.

In every word and every word of the father, it is all for the elder brother's consideration.

He couldn't help but feel sour and bitter in his heart.

Guo Peng turned around, looked at Guo Jun's face, and sighed slightly.

"All that I have done for my father is for the Wei country, so that the Wei country can be better passed on. Your brother is a qualified heir. I believe that he can make the emperor a good one. As a father, as long as you can be the emperor with peace of mind. enough."

"Father... really thought about a lot for my brother."

"That's natural. As a parent, how can you not think about your children?"

"..."

Guo Jun was speechless.

Guo Peng knew the reason.

"But because of the inheritance of the eldest son, as a father, you must put most of your energy on your elder brother, train him, support him, and pay attention to him. If he is well, the future of Wei will be good. For the country created by your father to be better."

"Just because he is the eldest son and I am not?"

Guo Jun suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Guo Peng: "It's because my elder brother is an elder brother, but I am not, that's why this happened, right father?"

Guo Peng nodded without hesitation.

"Yes."
