497 Can a cold-blooded political animal like Guo who likes power endure it?
Yizhou is interesting.
The Dongzhou faction and the locals fought a civil war for their own interests and survival, and Liu Zhang became a banner, a banner that the Dongzhou people relied on for their livelihood.
And Zhao Wei also became a banner, a banner for the locals of Yizhou to rebel against the "foreign rulers".
The two armies are said to have fought each other, and the battle is quite stalemate, and the Dongzhou soldiers led by Pang Xi as the leader and the Yizhou soldiers led by Zhao Wei, the hope star of the Yizhou locals, are fighting fiercely.
There was a lot of war around Jiangzhou.
No one can lose, no one wants to lose, and no one dares to lose.
If you lose at this time, your own faction will really be finished.
To put it bluntly, I still don't accept it, I just don't accept it, I don't accept that you step on my head, which onion are you?
Why do the people of Yizhou raise you a soil emperor to fight against the central government?
It's easy to build a feudal state, and it's determined in a word, but if you really want to do it, will it be so easy?
Guo's territory has been beaten down, deep cultivation for several years, white bones, desperately brushing prestige to engage in tuntian, the countryside has been established one after another, the prestige is still very high, the military is still very strong, and a hundred battles are won, with such prestige and power, only then can he dare to build a feudal state and get everyone's support.
If you don't have such great merits and such terrible prestige, how can you dare to be such a king?
Guo Peng is deeply worried about these people.
As soon as the country was established, there was a civil war, and it was chaotic, which was really funny, and it couldn't be a threat to Guo Peng at all.
Not to mention Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan, the territory is all no-man's land, these two are really enjoyable, and there are no people in the ruling area, those who dare to resist are killed, and it is really okay to the east of Chang'an.
It was different to the west of Chang'an, Zhang Ji sent people to Liangzhou to announce that he had become the monarch of this region, and asked Ma Teng, Han Sui and others to send people to Chang'an to meet him, and as a result, Ma Teng and Han Sui were half dead.
The previous great plague killed many Han and Qiang people, but it still slowly subsided, and Ma Teng and Han Sui slowly recovered their strength, waiting for the next advance in Guanzhong.
As a result, before they could do anything, Zhang Ji was about to step on their heads.
Can you bear it?
Decisive can't.
So Ma Teng and Han Sui killed Zhang Ji's envoy, sent their heads back, and then sharpened their knives, preparing to let Zhang Ji take a good look at who was the master of Liangzhou.
The southern and remote areas, which were originally slightly peaceful, were in flames of war in an instant, but the Central Plains and Hebei, which were in the area of high incidence of war earlier, became peaceful, and there was no war.
Thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river.
Guo Peng smiled proudly, smiling like a villain who had succeeded in his conspiracy.
Who said that the emperor was useless?
The key depends on how you use it.
A single edict can plunge these places into war, for the sake of fame, for profit, for the future, the war is raging.
At the same time that they were caught in the flames of war, the peaceful Central Plains and Hebei were constantly recovering their vitality, constantly strengthening construction, constantly storing grain, grass and ordnance, and constantly enhancing their strength.
Roads have been continuously repaired, repaired in all directions, the area of tuntian fields has been expanded, grain output has been continuously increased, and the population has been continuously restored.
The national strength of Wei is booming like the newborn rising sun, and it is out of control.
The gap between population and productivity will widen and widen until it becomes a hopeless contrast.
Continue to indulge your desires, continue to indulge your ambitions.
I will bury everything with the flames of war and rebuild a new future from the ruins.
Guo Peng's determination became more and more firm.
Three years of Xingping have passed like this.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Guo Peng took his family and spent it with his subordinates, he personally made dumplings, and then led a large group of people to make dumplings together.
With the previous lesson, this time Guo Peng can see that some people have specifically contacted how to make dumplings, and the wrapping is still presentable, and it looks pretty good.
For example, Cao Ren, the dumplings that are wrapped are called a beautiful, and so is Cao Hong, the dumplings wrapped before were called open stuffing by Guo Peng, this time I heard that I began to learn how to make dumplings a month in advance, and the night of Chinese New Year's Eve was in the limelight, and was fiercely praised by Guo Peng.
Then it caused a wave of envious, jealous, hateful eyes.
Many people looked at Cao Hong, who was dese, showing jealousy, and then resented that he didn't learn how to make dumplings as soon as possible, and then vowed to go back this time to practice making dumplings, and he must make a perfect dumpling for Guo Peng to see next year.
And then get his compliments!
Guo Peng's power is getting bigger and bigger, his prestige is getting higher and higher, and his whole person is like a magnet, constantly attracting all kinds of magnets around him.
They are eager to get close to Guo Peng, eager to get close to Guo Peng, eager to have a good relationship with Guo Peng, and then get his trust and appointment.
Full Pet is a good example, for several years, he has taken Guo Peng's route, and his six relatives do not recognize him, and Cao Hong is terrified.
Now not only was he not punished, but he also married the daughter of the Guo clan, and he also made the history of Yuzhou Assassin, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
In the end, the power to use the official election is still in Guo Peng's hands, and the power to appoint and dismiss is also in his hands, he can decide everything, as long as he is appreciated, he can soar.
Therefore, there are constantly people trying to discover Guo Peng's hobbies, check Guo Peng's pulse, and then study hard, trying to find common hobbies with Guo Peng, so as to get close to Guo Peng, become a cronie, and then get fame and fortune.
For example, Guo Peng likes to make dumplings, so Cao Hong sharpened his head to find the fire head in the army, hid in the military tent and practiced making dumplings diligently, and made very beautiful dumplings in front of Guo Peng, which looked very good.
For example, Guo Peng likes mathematics, and Wang Cang, who has a deep study in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", quickly became Guo Peng's favorite minister, and now sits next to Guo Peng to accompany him while making dumplings, while talking about mathematical problems, talking about hooking three strands, four strings and five.
I have to say that this person is more angry than others, sometimes there is really no way, people just move their brains fast, lucky, no way.
So I don't know how many people have worked hard to learn to make dumplings and learn arithmetic, just planning to go to Guo Peng's hobby.
It's not a bad job, it's the future, it's power, it's the pinnacle of life.
If you don't stammer Guo Peng now, when will you wait for it to stammer?
Looking at the faces full of flattery, Guo Peng was very happy.
The more such people, the greater their power, the higher their prestige, and the more they can look forward to the future.
The power structure of the Han government left room for the overthrow of the emperor, and the imperial power was not so stable, and the imperial power declined in large numbers.
This has planted the ideological tradition of the people and the monarch in the whole society.
The key point is that this "people" is not the people in the modern sense, but about the powerful landlords and the scholars who do not become officials, they are all rich, wealthy and knowledgeable people, and they have nothing to do with the head of Li Shu and Qian, who face the loess and have their backs to the sky.
These people have never regarded themselves as the same kind of people as Qianshou Lishu, to be precise, they have not regarded Qianshou Lishu as a person.
You are expensive, I am light, the capital of Li Shuqian is an ant, right?
Your ideal social power structure is that I step on the Li Shu, and then hold you up as a father, and I can't fight back and scold you or fight back, right?
Be?
Can a cold-blooded political animal like Guo who likes power endure it?
If you don't have important power, you can't do what you want to do.
I want power, I want supreme power, I want all your "people" to stand obediently before me.
While making dumplings, Guo Peng talked and laughed with his courtiers, and felt everything that power brings.
This feeling.
It's really addictive.
An addiction that can't be stopped.
Pleasure.
