The eunuchs were an indispensable aid to the [Biqu Island fo] Guo in his fight against scholars and bureaucrats.

Without eunuchs as arms, Guo could not fight against scholars and bureaucrats, because there were too many of them.

But as Guo's dog, the eunuch needs to understand a truth-

What is your identity, what kind of words should you say, and what kind of things you should do.

If the emperor doesn't let you say it, don't say it, and don't do it if the emperor doesn't let you do it.

Knowing these truths is the eunuch that the emperor can trust.

If you don't understand these things, you shouldn't exist.

Now it seems that Su Yuan has not fully understood this truth.

So Guo didn't mind being his teacher and let him study this course well.

"Remember your duty, what to do, what not to do, what to say, what not to say, all keep in mind, this time I will spare you, but you will not have a second chance."

There was no emotion in Guo Peng's voice.

Su Yuan only felt a chill to the bone, so he hurried to show his loyalty.

"The old slave knows, the old slave knows, the old slave will never do it again! Never again! The old slave will never talk too much again! Never! ”

Su Yuan lay on the ground and kowtowed.

Guo Peng nodded.

"Okay, get up, continue the massage, my shoulder is a little sore."

Guo Peng turned around and picked up the pen and continued to deal with government affairs.

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up to continue the massage for Guo Peng.

The heart is beating.

Bang bang bang.

A sense of happiness for the rest of his life filled Su Yuan's heart.

But before he could relax a little, Guo Peng's voice sounded again.

"By the way, Su Yuan, I heard that someone sent you money? It seems like a lot? ”

Su Yuan trembled, the movements in his hands suddenly stopped, and the whole person froze.

"Your Majesty...... Old...... Old slave ......"

"Didn't I give you enough money? Are you so poor that you have to go around making money? ”

Su Yuan was so frightened that his brain went blank and he couldn't say anything.

Guo Peng smiled.

"Collecting money is not a bad thing, I know that you people have nothing to pursue, it is nothing more than to get more money and eat more good, I didn't stop you, just send it, I don't care about this, but Su Yuan, take people's money, and you have to eliminate disasters with people."

Money is not taken for nothing, whose money do you take, who do you want to eliminate disasters for, you have to be clear in your heart, the person who gives you money must want you to work me, but I am the emperor, it seems that it is not so easy to use the emperor to make money, right? ”

Guo Peng turned his head and glanced at Su Yuan, the smile on his face became more and more cold.

Su Yuan's legs weakened and he knelt down.

"Your Majesty...... Old Slave ...... The old slave was just confused for a while, the old slave ...... The old slave immediately returned the money, no more, no more! Absolutely not! ”

"Take it."

Guo Peng turned his head and no longer looked at Su Yuan: "Who gave you the money, I know, what is the purpose, I also know, they are willing to give money, then give it, you are my personal eunuch, you can take the money and do nothing, he doesn't dare to blame you, if he blames you, I will help you kill him."

Then, through what channel and in what way did that person give you money, you have to be clear, go and solve that channel yourself, don't leave any traces, I want the inner court, so that the outer court can't figure out what I'm thinking, but if the inner court leaks, what use do I want the inner court? ”

Su Yuan swallowed.

"The old slave understands, the old slave ...... Do it now! ”

"Don't worry, continue the massage."

"Compliance...... Compliance. ”

Realizing that he had passed the test, Su Yuan's heart was filled with the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Hurry up and continue to massage Guo Peng's shoulder.

Although his life was in danger, Su Yuan's heart was full of fear and regret.

Fear of this master.

Regret about the money itself.

He shouldn't have been carried away by the money.

He was also full of complaints about the people who gave him money.

The only thing Su Yuan didn't know was how many things did the emperor know?

In the past two years or so, how much does the emperor know about what has happened in this court?

Su Yuan didn't know.

Of course, Cui Yan didn't know.

Of course, for Cui Yan, the most important thing now is not to know too many things, but to act immediately to save the situation and protect the safety of the family.

A whole family of hundreds of people, do you want to lose your head together?

No way!

As the spokesperson of the Cui family, Cui Yan must use the fastest speed to save the situation.

So after Cui Yan left the palace, he directly found Cui Qu, and without saying a word, he asked people to tie him up in his own house, and then personally supervised it, and let the house slaves beat Cui Qu to death with a stick.

The scene was quite cruel, it was difficult to look at directly, and the flesh and blood were flying, but Cui Yan endured the churning in his stomach and watched the whole process, which was equivalent to personally executing this "family law".

It is worth exchanging one person's life for the safety and future of the whole family.

It was very fortunate to be exempted under the thunderous wrath of the Emperor.

Cui Yan didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction.

And the news of this matter also spread with the spread of the governor's prison, and soon spread to many official offices in the imperial city.

Every official working in the Imperial City knew about it.

In exchange for the emperor's forgiveness, Cui Yan personally led people to enforce family law on his nephew Cui Qu and beat Cui Qu to death.

In a month's work, this sudden turmoil has undergone many reversals, from the initial economic problem to a fatal political issue.

Reversed to the present, there are many government offices involved, and there are many people involved.

But no one has lost their lives yet.

Now the first person to lose his life has appeared.

Whether there will be latecomers, everyone still doesn't know.

Although it is not so much that everyone is in danger now, it does involve a wide range of areas, except for the staff station and army generals, most officials are involved and it is difficult to get out.

After all, there are not many people in the court who are clean and self-conscious.

Everyone is in the same spirit, and the relationship network that has been passed down since the former Han Dynasty was destroyed by the war for a while, but in the past two years, there has been a re-formation of the posture.

But this time, before the newly formed network could be officially operated, it became a mess in this sudden storm.

The network connection between people is very sophisticated, and the connection of this relationship itself is also relatively fragile, and it cannot be hit by a storm.

Now it's a good thing, the emperor has dealt a stormy blow, and the relationship network in the court of the Wei Empire, which has just been formed, is completely messed up.

Who is a friend, who is an enemy, who will kill himself, who will help himself, has become a mess.

For a while, everyone couldn't figure it out.

The people in the network are implicated, but those who are not implicated are the smaller actors who are of lower status and are not included in the network.

The little characters rejoiced.

The stakeholders are nervous.

Nowadays, they don't pay attention to the content of commercial tax reform or anything.

They have long since stopped paying attention to the fact that the cause of this matter is a dispute over commercial taxes, and they are now more concerned about whether their power will be affected.

Compared with money, power is more important, as long as you have power, sooner or later you will have money, if you don't have power, no matter how much money you have, it's useless.

It's just a hero.

In the middle and late Han Dynasty, how the emerging Haoqiang was suppressed by the old Haoqiang-Shi clan is still fresh in everyone's memory.

can't become the top of the gentry family, no matter how much family property is, it is also vulnerable and powerless in the face of high-level suppression, which everyone knows very well.

So now what everyone is most concerned about is not the first thing, but what Guo Peng's response plan is.

It's Guo's attitude towards this.

What would the emperor, who wielded so much power, think about this?

And how will this be handled?

Is Cui Qu the only one who will die?

If not, who else would unfortunately become a tool for the emperor to vent his anger?

Nobody knows.

But after all, someone has already died.

In the past two years, Cui Yan, who has been in the limelight and has a faint tendency to become the leader of the sergeants in the court, beat his son Cui Qu to death in his own home, and then carried his body to the palace to ask the emperor for his guilt.

In exchange for the emperor's forgiveness and the survival of the family, he exchanged such a humiliating gesture.

Only in the face of the danger of the survival of the family, Cui Yan, the righteous and awe-inspiring "scholar leader", would do such a thing.

To do this kind of thing that shocked everyone.
