This political turmoil with unprecedented consequences had a serious impact on the officialdom at the end of the first year of Jian'an.

This is Guo Peng's purpose.

He was going to strike at the Shiren forces of Yingchuan and Runan.

Since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the proportion of Yingchuan scholars who hold the position of the three princes belongs to the first place in the country, and it is even more so after the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

So there is a saying that the world's talents are out of Yingchuan.

Whether it is the number and quality of scholars or the number of heirloom classics, there is no right out of Yingchuan, and even the Runan scholars with the same prosperous culture are difficult to compete.

The Runan scholars have collapsed under the situation that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have perished one after another, and the Yuan clan has almost disappeared.

Most of them followed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and were devastated in Guo Peng's war to exterminate the Second Yuan.

The rest are the Yingchuan scholars.

The Yingchuan scholars have a deeper central heritage and relationship network than the Runan scholars, and even if they have experienced the blows of war and displacement, they have not been greatly affected, and they can still invest everywhere and find their own way out.

The number of descendants and outstanding children is their biggest reliance, and the gap between the top scholars and the small scholars is very large.

This made Guo very unhappy.

The Hongnong Central Committee is gone, but the Yingchuan Shiren Group is still there, and their heritage is difficult for other scholars, including the civil official group under the command of Guo, to fight against.

They didn't admit it, they continued to fight, they held power, brought the traditions of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Guo Wei regime, and influenced it, so it was not so easy for Guo Peng to represent the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Guo Peng has always deliberately suppressed the status of the Yingchuan scholars in his group, and vigorously promoted his cronies, Han scholars, Qingyan scholars, and Jizhou scholars to fight against the Yingchuan scholars.

And Xun Yu's self-explosion gave Guo Peng an excellent breakthrough point for blasting the Yingchuan Shiren Group.

With the passage of time, as Guo Peng's prestige and power continued to increase, as he gained inch by inch, after three **** times, he finally broke up the power of the Yingchuan Shiren group, and knocked their prestige and power to the bottom.

It's not easy.

There are many Yingchuan scholars.

Among them, the Xun family, the Chen family and the Zhong family are representatives, and the three families are at the top of the scholar group, and the Hongnong Yang family and the Runan Yuan family are in court, and the children of the three families communicate with each other, marry each other, and the relationship network is huge and prosperous.

Guo's second target after destroying Hongnong Central was the top Yingchuan clan led by Xun, Chen, and Zhong.

Now the Xun clan has a Xun Yu, who committed the crime of rebellion, was beheaded, his reputation plummeted, and his political interests were dealt a heavy blow.

Chen left Yingchuan because of the relocation of his household registration, and directly left the Yingchuan base camp, was suspected of falling into the well, his reputation was damaged, and he stood on the opposite side of all Yingchuan scholars, and the future was uncertain.

The Zhong family is even more miserable, the descendant Zhong Xuan was killed in the tragedy of the Hongnong Mutiny, the whole family was also killed by the rebels, and the main family suffered serious losses.

The Xun Chen family and the Zhong family, as the representative families of the Yingchuan scholars, suffered such a political accident, although they did not collapse, but they were also equivalent to losing a layer of skin and being covered in blood.

In the situation that only Xun You, whose reputation has become bad, and Chen Qun, who has shallow qualifications, are representative figures, they cannot confront the Qingyanshi, Jizhou Shiren and even the Hanmen Shiren at all.

After they were taken down, the vacated positions were also quickly arranged by Guo Peng to be taken over by his cronies, taking away this part of the power.

They could no longer stop Guo Peng's advance.

did not dare to continue to block Guo Peng's advance.

On this basis, on the first day of the second month of the second year of Jian'an, Emperor Liu Jian of the Han Dynasty sent people to Yecheng for the fourth time to canonize Guo Peng, the Duke of Wei, as the king of Wei, and gave Jiuxi.

That is, nine items symbolizing status and power, such as chariots and horses, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nama, Huben, axes, bows and arrows, and stalks.

Holding Jiuxi, basically like the Son of Heaven, he has the right to live and kill in the name of righteousness.

This time, Guo Peng accepted.

Claim the king, add nine tin.

The sword goes to the palace, and the emperor does not kneel.

The feudal state was established, and within the feudal state, it was equivalent to the emperor.

He openly tore apart the talisman of Youhan for 400 years, the White Horse Alliance, and became the fourth person to destroy the White Horse Alliance and cross that line.

The first three didn't end well, they died and the clan was wiped out, and the stench was left for 10,000 years, and whether Guo himself would have a good end, Guo didn't dare to really assert it now.

Maybe it will fail and die?

Who knows?

But there is no doubt that Guo is now extremely successful.

The three waves of political purges have cleared all the stumbling blocks in his way forward, and the rest is only a matter of time.

He has become the king of Wei, and the Duchy of Wei was also promoted to the Kingdom of Wei in the second year of Jian'an.

Guo Peng, and the country he created, are only one step away from becoming a unified empire.

A real step away.

Guo Peng held a grand celebration ceremony in Yecheng, recalled almost all the important generals who commanded the army abroad and the important ministers who governed the local area abroad, led them to worship heaven and earth, worshiped Guo's temple, and once again established Cao Lan as the queen of the Wei Kingdom, and Guo Jin as the crown prince of the Wei Kingdom, establishing all the titles and inheritances.

Subsequently, Guo Peng took up the post of general of the Han Empire in a low-key manner, becoming a general who has not been done again since He Jin's death.

But for now, the title of King of Wei has far overshadowed the limelight of the general.

King of Wei, King!

King with a different surname!

Since Zhulu, the Han Dynasty has never had a king with a different surname!

The ministers support, the army supports, and the people of Wei are extremely supportive of the King of Wei!

In the territory of the Wei State, there is not a single Chinese character flag in sight.

It is said that Wang Mang and Yuan Shu tore up the White Horse Alliance because they directly became emperors.

Wang Mang ascended to the throne in the name of a duke and a "false emperor".

Yuan Shu was even more honorable, directly crossing several levels and quickly becoming emperor at rocket-like speed, directly establishing the Chen Empire.

Neither of them became kings.

Empress Lü made Zhu Lu the king, mainly to fight against foreign ministers and Han clan relatives, but he didn't really want to make Lü's descendants emperor.

Only Guo Peng, step by step, step by step, down-to-earth, crossed the bones, waded through the pool of blood, with countless sins and conspiracies, and walked towards the supreme position with great difficulty and incomparably solid.

Step by step, step by step, step by step to the supreme position.

Walk extremely solidly, walk extremely carefully, and walk extremely shrewdly.

He is the one who really destroyed the Han family.

That one-of-a-kind thief in the world!

When Guo Peng wore the king's clothes and led the ministers and generals to sacrifice heaven and earth, he actually felt a little emotional in his heart.

As far as he is concerned, he has crossed the humility of his origin, broken through the roadblocks in front of him, stepped through the sea of corpses and blood, and finally is one step away from the final destination.

Those who travel a hundred miles, half ninety, when he became the Duke of Wei, he was considered to have reached the position of ninety, and when he became the king of Wei, it was ninety-nine.

There are no more obstacles in front of you, and the enemy is either physically or spiritually destroyed.

There are no more obstacles.

Guo Peng slowly closed his eyes, then opened them, and showed a contemptuous smile at the blue sky and white clouds above his head.

Liu Bang, have you seen it?

It's been 400 years, you've been 400 years, it's been 400 years!

It's the end of it.

You lose.

I won.
