At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Jin decided to resolutely maintain the enfeoffment policy established by Guo Peng.

The father and son discussed the name of the country to be given to the other three brothers.

Guo Peng knows that Australia means [land in the south], and the meaning is very concise and clear, without any twists and turns or profound meanings, and it is similar to his own choice.

If Indonesia has become South Wu, then Australia should be designated as South Vietnam.

Wu Yue does not separate families.

Let Guo Hu become the duke, be the king of Nanyue, and establish the Principality of Nanyue.

The fifth son Guo Heng's feudal country is set in the west of Kazakhstan, between the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea. To the northwest is the Volga River and Ural River Basin in Russia, which has a relatively wide development space.

A place with a lot of room for development should become stronger. Guo Peng has deep expectations for this place, so he bestowed the country name of Qin on Guo Heng.

It must have been a good decision to make him a duke, king of the Western Qin Dynasty, and establish the Principality of the Western Qin Dynasty.

The six sons Guo Yu's feudal kingdom was set in Somalia and Kenya on the east coast of Africa.

The main purpose is to avoid the edge of the Roman Empire, keep a distance from the Egyptian region they directly rule, develop inland in Africa, and avoid direct conflict with the Roman Empire.

Of course, by the time they knew that Guo Peng sealed Guo Yu's country here, it would have been a long time.

Whether they have spare energy to develop here is also a huge problem. Rome's territory is already very large, and it is not easy to maintain the current territory, let alone continue to expand.

As for the name of the country, Guo Jin thinks that [Ba] country is pretty good, plus the location, it is also considered appropriate to be named [Xi Ba] country.

Guo Peng thought it was good at first, but as he read it, he suddenly felt that the name of the country gave him a sense of shit, and he always felt that it was unpleasant no matter how he heard it, so he shook his head and denied the name of the country.

Change to Beam.

Chapter 1442 One thousand 350 two Guo Jin feels like her face is going to be swollen

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the Liang State was located in the west, so it was appropriate for the occasion. The country was named Xiliang, and Guo Yu was named the king of Xiliang, establishing the Principality of Xiliang.

So the five overseas feudal states of Xishu, Nanyue, Nanwu, Xiqin, and Xiliang were decided in this way.

Guo Peng has a total of six sons. Except for Guo Jin, the other five sons will be entrusted to these areas to become the duke of a place, the lord of a country, and establish their own empire.

After confirming this policy, Guo Jin relaxed a little and felt very happy.

Looking at his appearance, Guo Peng hesitated a little, but decided to ask.

"Before Ah Jun left, I told you something, right?"

Guo Jin was happy, but the smile on his face disappeared when he heard Guo Peng's question.

"Yes."

"My father can probably guess what he said. He said, he is very jealous of you, right?"

"Father is wise."

Guo Jin admitted it, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with admitting it.

Guo Peng nodded.

"In this case, Ah Jun also told Weifu. At the beginning of this year, when we were resting in the hot spring, he said to Weifu. At that time, Weifu felt that the entrustment plan was urgent. Otherwise, once Weifu dies, you Brothers are likely to turn against each other."

Guo Jin raised his head and opened his mouth to refute, but seeing Guo Peng's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he opened his mouth and said nothing.

After a while, he bowed his head and choked out the words "Father is wise".

He didn't want to lie to his father.

it is as expected.

Guo Peng sighed.

"You will feel that your direct brothers are jealous of you and want to replace you, not to mention the concubine brothers, so you feel uneasy, you feel threatened, and you feel that you must drive them all out of Wei to be safe, right?"

Guo Peng said nothing about Guo Jin's thoughts.

Guo Jin lowered her head and said nothing, acquiescing.

Guo Peng was also silent for a while, then reached out and patted Guo Jin on the shoulder.

"I told you a long time ago that brothers Fusu and Huhai killed each other, and Emperor Wu Liu Ju killed his father and son. In the face of absolute power, family affection is nothing. At that time, I thought you just had a little feeling, but now, you should be completely Got it, right?"

Guo Jin raised her head in astonishment and looked at Guo Peng without speaking.

"Many things, if you haven't experienced it yourself, you don't have the right to speak. Empathy doesn't exist. If you don't experience it yourself, you must not understand each other. You didn't understand it as a father, but now, you should understand it."

Guo Jin was silent, then nodded.

"My son already understands what it means to be alone and what it means to be overwhelmed at a high place."

"That's good. It's good if you understand it. If you understand it, you won't do wrong things, and you won't make mistakes because of a little personal affair."

Guo Peng took a deep breath: "Your approach is right, but Weifu couldn't bear to see it, and thought it would be beneficial to do so, so he decided to implement enfeoffment. If Weifu didn't have such a plan, Weifu could have expected it later. The situation where you brothers cannibalism.

Of course, your brothers can't fight you at all, they will only be found by you in various ways, and then punished and sent to prison, the rest of their lives will not be easy, and if you are more ruthless, your brothers will die . "

Guo Jin dare not say that there is no such possibility.

Guo Jun's words seemed to turn on a certain switch in his heart, and a kind of emotion gushed out, which was intertwined with his emotion of becoming the emperor, and completely activated his solitary heart.

With his single-husband heart, he felt that he might not be able to do such a thing as driving his brothers to death.

Such things have not happened in history.

For example, after Hu Hai ascended the throne, he listened to Zhao Gao's slander and killed all his brothers and sisters, leaving none of them, thinking that no one could threaten his status.

Such a thing happened, refreshing people's cognition.

From then on, people know that the royal brothers are all superficial brothers and plastic friendship, and they can turn their faces and deny people at any time.

For the supreme and only one throne, they can do anything at all.

Including cannibalism.

When Guo Jin was studying history books in the past, he and his teacher denounced the ruthlessness of these power monsters, denouncing their evil deeds of slaughtering their flesh and blood relatives for the mere sake of power.

At that time, he swore righteously that if he came to power one day, he would be a wise and holy king, and he would negotiate everything friendly with everyone, so that the monarch and his ministers could get along without any barriers.

But when he himself reached this point, he found that he had become the monster of power that he hated the most.

He actually thought about burying them all if he couldn't send them away.

The face was slapped and felt swollen.

But Guo Jin will not look back.

For power, for status, for the future, he will do anything at all, and he has no turning back.

"Father is wise."

Guo Jin could only speak four words in the end.

Because his father foresaw anything he might do.

Guo Peng stood up, sat next to Guo Jin, and hugged him.

"You have already experienced this feeling, which means that you can give everything for power. You already have such determination. This is the determination that a qualified lonely person should have. Keep going, don't look back, and you can't look back .”

Guo Peng hugged Guo Jin tightly: "Power is like a handful of sand. You have to hold on tightly so that it won't leak out. Once you turn around, you won't be able to hold on to power. Power will leak out from your fingers. Think again." It's hard to catch it."

Guo Jin nodded.

"My son understands."

"In a short while, you will be the emperor of Wei, have you ever thought about it? One day, you will sit on the throne and face the deceit, concealment and use of those subordinates who want to get everything from you."

"I didn't think about it before. After my father decided to pass the throne to me, I thought about it."

"What do you feel?"

"A little scared, but also a little excited."

Guo Jin took a deep breath: "The son really wants to know whether they are smarter and can get what they want from the son, or whether the son is smarter and can play with them in the applause, just like the father played with them."

"My father has never underestimated them. It was like this in the past, and it is like this now. My father may not be smarter than them, but I just know something they don't know."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Now the tricks of being a father have been exhausted, and what you will face next is an unprecedented number and quality of imperial examination bureaucrats. They are more difficult to deal with and restrain than scholar bureaucrats. You, do Are you ready?"

"..."

Guo Jin took several deep breaths, and then let them out slowly, as if she was trying to calm down her emotions.

"The son has no choice, the son has to face it."

"very good."

Guo Peng is very satisfied with the independent husband he has cultivated: "It is difficult to be invincible, but remember the nature of bureaucracy that your father told you, and you will not be so easily deceived.

As long as you are not deceived and you have power, you can always fight against them, but if you are deceived and mistakenly think that the world is safe and there are no problems, then it is a bad thing. "

Guo Peng raised a finger.

"What do you do when they kneel down and say long live?"

"Think carefully about whether your policies make them feel that they have an opportunity, whether they fully conform to their ideas, and do not benefit the common people of Li."

"very good."

Guo Peng raised his second finger.

"What should you do when they jump and scold you as a foolish tyrant in front of you?"

"Persist on the things they strongly resist, carry them through to the end, and dispose of all those who hinder them. Persevere and never relax. That's their key point."

"very good."

Guo Peng raised his third finger.

"Facing a peaceful court, what should you do?"

"Try every means to divide the courtiers, set up contradictions, make them fight each other, and never allow the courtiers to be harmonious."

"very good."

Guo Peng raised his fourth finger.

"How to consolidate the power of the central government so that it does not gradually decline and be controlled by the local government?"

"The mausoleum system keeps relocating local rich and powerful households to Luoyang, cuts off their geographical ties, and smashes the root of their interests."

"Meet resistance?"

"Send troops directly!"

"Is there any minister objecting?"

"Dismissed, strictly investigated, imprisoned for three generations, severely punished!"

"very good."

Guo Peng showed a satisfied smile.

Then raised a fifth finger.

"How to deal with officials, tycoons, and wealthy households who are constantly trying to annex land?"

Guo Jin froze for a moment.

"The mausoleum system should be ok, and the central government should be able to strictly investigate."

"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, how to cure the root cause?"

Guo Peng asked again.

Guo Jin pondered for a long time, not knowing how to answer this question.

"What does father think?"

"I do not know either."

Guo Peng smiled self-mockingly: "Land annexation is the root cause of destruction, but I don't know how to curb and solve it. People work hard to study, study, and take exams in order to become officials, to be superior to others, and to be domineering.

If this is not the case, I believe that few people are willing to study and become officials. If they are not allowed to do so, in their eyes, their dreams will be shattered, they will be inhumane, and the emperor will be a tyrant and a faint king. But if they are allowed to do this, Wei Guo will also It's over.

How to deal with it, how to balance it, how to deal with it, I don't know, I don't know how to solve it, but A Jin, I choose to be a tyrant, a faint king, a bloody butcher that everyone fears, and what about you?How would you choose? "
