Zaoyi's loyalty, Guo Peng never doubted.

The old minister who has followed him from Shanggu County to the current one has been working hard and complaining, and if he doesn't believe him, who else can he trust?

So Guo Peng smiled and nodded, not thinking deeply at first.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Zaoyi, and found that Zaoyi was also looking at him with expectant eyes.

After pondering for a while, Guo Peng showed a slight smile.

"Ziyong, how many years have you been doing things with me?"

"It has been eleven years since Zhongping was five years ago."

Zao only replied.

"It's been eleven years."

Guo Peng nodded, stretched out his hand to hold Zao Yi's hand, and said slowly: "I remember that when I first became the Taishou of Shanggu, I went back to my hometown to recruit you and others, and at that time you were willing to leave your hometown and follow me to the cold and desolate Shangdang County, at that time, I was very moved.

This is eleven years, you have followed me, it has been eleven years, time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, you are diligent and diligent, do not ask me for my position, power, do not ask me for higher money and rewards, dedicated to the public, do not care about personal gains and losses, your character is very respectful to me. ”

"Lord ......"

Zao You's heart was moved.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that all these years of hard work were worth it, and it was not meaningless, at least Guo Peng saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

"How lucky is Guo Zifeng to be able to work with you for a great cause?"

Guo Peng said it to the point, so he didn't say more.

Zao only thought about it for a moment or two, and tasted something he really wanted to taste, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Thinking that there is no force that can compete with Guo Peng today, and the biggest threat Sun Ce is dead, Guo Peng's next thing to do is to accumulate grain and strength, and then just push it directly.

The biggest enemy no longer exists, who else can stand in Guo Peng's way?

It is said that even if someone wants to block it, those who are unwilling to be blocked will rush up to tear up the blocking force and eat it.

Guo Peng's advance is also their advance, and the greater Guo Peng's advance, the greater their advance.

If Guo Peng becomes the emperor, won't these people become heroes from the dragon?

Won't they get this great achievement, and thus get the wealth of the family?

The stronger Guo Peng, the better they are, the higher Guo Peng's status, the higher their status, complement each other, they have long been integrated, and there are no other ideas.

In any case, we must push Guo Peng up, in this era without any security, Guo Peng is their only guarantee!

Guo Peng stayed in Luoyang for a few days, met with officials of all sizes near Luoyang, and turned around the villages, townships, and counties around Luoyang that were being restored and built, and it felt very good.

"As a master, you can't always stay in the city, you have to go out often, go around, go deep into the people, and talk and communicate with the old farmers who are working in the field, the old farmers are rarely literate, but it is our foundation, Ah Jin, you have to remember that agriculture is the foundation of the country, the old farmers have a bad life, and your life is not good."

Guo Peng told Guo Jin the big truth that some of the superiors needed to know, so that Guo Jin knew what his friends and his foundation were, and who his enemies were.

The most ordinary people are his foundation and friends, and if they don't have a good life, his life will not be better.

Guo Jin followed Guo Peng to observe the fields together, watching the hard-working farmers in the village, dismounting and walking in the fields, feeling the smell of the soil, and looking at the lush growth of grain, which seemed to be touched.

Guo Peng asked Guo Jin and Lu Yi, Xiahou Shang and Cao Zhen to go down to the field to help the old farmer hoe the grass, and personally feel the difficulty of farm work.

Guo Peng has deep expectations for them, looking forward to them taking over their careers and moving forward, so they must be transformed to a certain extent.

It is always good to let them experience the suffering of the people.

During the days of his stay in Luoyang, Guo Peng also went to the place where he and Lu Zhi greeted Liu Xie, looking for memories of the past, feeling the way he came, and once again confirming his determination not to let himself fall into confusion.

Approaching the most critical moment, your heart must be calm, you must be firm, and you must not waver for anything in the future.

The emperor's hegemony is only in a moment, even a thought, no matter what happens, it cannot shake his determination and will.

Whoever dares to stop it will be brutally purged by him.

The process of ascending to power will inevitably be accompanied by brutal political purges.

Someone will die, someone will live, someone will be belittled, someone will be promoted.

No matter who it is, they can't stop him.

Since arriving in Luoyang at the age of twelve, it has been twenty-two years since the dog was eighteen years old and a person for four years.

Twenty-two years have passed, and the thirty-four-year-old Guo has long been like a stone and cannot be shaken.

In the rest of his life, he will become a well-deserved man.

However, just as Guo Peng was about to set off from Luoyang to return to Yecheng, he suddenly received a letter.

It's not that the owner of this letter is important, it's not a dignitary, and it's not a military matter.

Zhuge Jin, a newcomer to Guo Ying, who has a low status, said that it was also a trivial matter.

Zhuge Jin wrote to say that he finally got a letter from his younger brother Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang told him about his life in Jingzhou over the years, expressed his thoughts about his brother, and said that he decided to send his uncle Zhuge Xuan's coffin back to his hometown for burial, and he also returned to the clan by the way.

Guo Peng finished reading the letter, smiled, looked at his son Guo Jin who was following him, and didn't say anything, so he replied to Zhuge Jin with a simple letter, saying that it was very good, and suggested that Zhuge Jin move this family to Yecheng and not go back to Xuzhou.

Guo Peng is actually very sure that after getting the news of Zhuge Jin, it is very unlikely that Zhuge Liang will continue to stay in Jingzhou and not come back.

And before, when Guo Peng decided to return to Yecheng, he also asked Cheng Yu, who was in Yecheng, to issue an order.

He said that he was going to hold a ceremony in Yecheng to select talented and virtuous people to enter his shogunate.

Regardless of the age, origin, and past achievements of the person, the officials of the Wei State were selected.

Yes, it's a Wei official, not a Han official.

It would be somewhat inappropriate to carry out such an ingenious selection of officials in the name of the general of the Han chariot cavalry, but in the name of the monarch of the Wei State, it would be very simple.

In the Wei State, everything is Guo Peng's final say, and the selection of Wei officials is also led by Guo Peng, Guo Peng decided that others must not interfere.
