Guo Jun first watched his father and brother compete with each other to the level of one hundred and seventy-three, and then his father insisted on completing two hundred whole rounds before stopping.

Too strong, right?

Guo Jun looked at his father with admiration on his face.

Guo enjoyed the feeling very much.

"It seems that your exercise is not in place, young people in their teens and twenties are in the best health, and the results are not as good as being a father, being a father is a forty-year-old person, you have to work harder, otherwise if you still can't compare with your father when he is fifty years old, it will not be good, hahahahahaha!"

A father-son competition made Guo Peng feel relaxed and happy, and he felt that such things could come a few more times in the future.

After a little rest, Guo Peng went to the hot spring water and hugged his little sons and took them to stretch in the hot spring water, and did his duty as a father a little.

When they had enough, Guo Peng and Guo Jin leaned on the edge of the hot spring pool together, looked at Guo Jun who was playing with several younger brothers, and smiled together.

After a while, Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng.

"The father always told his son that there is no blood and family affection in the heavenly family, but the father will always do his best to care for the younger siblings, the father will personally test the homework of the younger siblings, and will also take time to eat with them, celebrate holidays together, visit when sick, and worry and fatigue...... Father, shouldn't the heavenly family really have blood and kinship? ”

Guo Peng turned his head to look at Guo Jin and smiled.

"People are not plants and trees, and their hearts are not iron and stone, how can they be ruthless? It's just that the higher the status, the higher the cost of affection, your identity, your status, and your power all determine that your affection will be more difficult and dangerous than others, and once you make a mistake, you will have to pay a greater price.

In other words, if you don't have feelings, and you look at everyone in unison, like heaven and earth, and everything like a dog, you will become a great monarch, but after all, we are not gods, we are human, we are human, and we have feelings. ”

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand underwater.

"To be an emperor, you have to be as cold and ruthless as an iron stone, but your hands always have a temperature, there is no absolute thing in the world, this question can't be answered by the father, the father can only tell you that the emperor must be ruthless, but people, not ruthless."

Guo Jin pursed her lips and stared deeply at her father.

"It's hard."

"Of course it's difficult, that's why there is only one emperor in the world."

Guo Peng took a deep breath: "This question will not be answered by my father in his life, and you are the same, don't pursue the answer, many things themselves have no answers, go through it, and find your own insights in the process." ”

patting the back of his hand, Guo Peng stood up with a smile and walked to where the children were, picked up his little son and laughed with him, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Guo Jin quietly looked at the scene in front of him, thinking back to what Guo Peng said just now, and gradually, there was a slight smile on his face.

At dinner that night, Guo Peng personally hugged his eldest grandson, who was just over a year old, and his face was full of joy.

The little grandson is still young, and he didn't have a big name, only a nickname of "Akang".

The third generation of the Guo family has been born, Guo Jin's position as the crown prince is completely stable and unshakable, and Guo Peng has finally been upgraded to a grandfather.

In April of the second year of Yande, the eldest grandson was born, and at that time, Guo was less than forty years old, and he became a grandfather, which was quite a wonderful feeling.

Anyway, Guo Peng definitely didn't think that he could have today in his previous life, but now that it has happened, Guo is also willing to do it.

The Confucian tradition of holding grandchildren rather than children, paying attention to a grandchild who is teasing his grandson, should be good to his grandson, and strictly control his son.

Guo doesn't care about this, whether it's a son or a grandson, he should be hugged, and he should be disciplined, and his youngest son is four or five years older than his youngest grandson, so I don't feel that there is too much gap.

After a happy dinner, the children and the rest of the concubines were sent back to their respective rooms to rest, and Guo Peng also took Cao Lan back to their private space as a couple.

A concubine is a concubine after all, no matter how favored she is, she is a concubine after all, not a husband and wife.

Guo's wife is only Cao Lan, and the empress of the Wei Empire is only Cao Lan, which will not be changed.

So no matter what, Cao Lan always has a fixed amount of time to be alone with Guo Peng, which is a special treatment that other concubines don't have.

No matter how many times you go to the harem every month, there are always fixed days that belong to Cao Lan and don't belong to anyone else.

Guo Peng has a deep affection for his wife, who has been with him since he was fifteen years old.

"In a blink of an eye, Ah Jin has grown so big, our little grandchildren have been born, Penglang, we are all old."

Lying on the bed, Cao Lan still snuggled in Guo Peng's arms as before, and this habit has not changed for many years.

Guo Peng smiled and patted Cao Lan's back.

"We've been married for almost twenty-five years, right? It's time for that, how old are we to have Ajin? I also think that Ah Kang was born a little late, and it would have been nice if Ah Kang had been born the year I became emperor. ”

"The good things in the world can't be taken up by our family, right? My children have been safe and healthy so far, and none of them have died, and I am thankful. ”

Cao Lan said with a smile: "It is my greatest wish that the children can grow up safely." ”

"yes, that's enough."

Guo Peng also nodded slightly.

The two were silent for a moment.

"Penglang, Ah Jun and they are gradually growing up, have you thought about what you want your children to do in the future? They have all learned a lot of things, and you have high requirements for them, learning literature and martial arts, increasing knowledge, they ...... What to do? ”

Cao Lan raised her head slightly and looked at Guo Peng.

Guo Peng didn't answer immediately, but thought about it a little.

"Alan, you know me, since I have chosen Ah Jin as the prince, I will not choose other children, Ah Jin's position has been stabilized, and choosing other children is just adding to the chaos."

"I know, but Penglang, Ah Jun, and Ah Qiong are all your sons."

Cao Lan looked at Guo Peng with a little worry: "Haven't you thought about them?" What they can do and what they should do in the future, haven't you thought about it, but only Ah Jin alone? ”

"Of course I thought about them, so I don't do anything specifically for them, it's best for them."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Some people want me to give them the title of king, and some people also hope that I will give them real power in the territory, so that they can be those princes and kings that Liu Bang has divided, and they have military power and financial power."

But these are just pushing them down the road, Alain, what is the prince going up again? It's the Emperor! The prince is not a human minister if he goes up.

It's okay for those who don't have big ambitions, but what if they have different hearts? I will only give the crown prince the title of king, and the rest of the sons, the highest, that is, the duke, and Guo Yang's prince, I will take it out sooner or later.

In this way, everyone in the world will understand what I mean, I chose Ah Jin as my heir, I have to protect him, I can't let people attack him, shake his status, shake Ah Jin, and shake the state of Wei. ”

Cao Lan didn't speak, just silently leaned on Guo Peng's shoulder.

"They are all my sons, and I can't help but think about them, we were fine when we were alive, but what about when we died? I had to think more about the future of my children.

Alan, Guo Yang is incompetent, and I am the eldest son, so I have no threat, but Ah Jin has many brothers, how can my son be as incompetent as Guo Yang?

If I don't strengthen his position and protect him with all my might, and let him know that he is safe, what will he do with his brother when we are gone? ”

Guo Peng sighed: "I can't let Ah Jin feel that he is insecure, he can't let him feel insecure, if he doesn't have a sense of security, he will be resentful, and when I die, he becomes the emperor and holds the power of life and death, what will he do?"

Brothers are not brothers, they have become a threat, he has a grudge against these brothers, he will not leave them alone, and the situation of brothers killing each other is inevitable, Alain, do you want to see that ending? ”

Guo Peng's words were full of cold reality, which made Cao Lan's heart full of gloom.
