Today's people know more about the history of the late Qin and early Han dynasties in figures like Liu Bang himself and the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

Probably because the Lü clan launched a rebellion after Empress Lü's death, the official history books have deliberately downplayed the role of the Lü clan in the process of Liu Bang's uprising.

But at that time, Lu's influence in Liu Bang Group was by no means comparable to the so-called three masters.

Whether in the military or in the political circles, the children of the Lü family had extremely strong influence and control, and they were the basis for Empress Lü to be regent after Liu Bang's death.

This point is reflected in Liu Bang's desire to establish Liu Ruyi as the prince but ultimately failed.

This is not because the so-called Shangshan Sihao appeared next to Liu Ying, which made Liu Bang see the appeal of the prince himself, but because the appearance of Shangshan Sihao made Liu Bang realize that the Lu family's relatives group had even united Xiao He and Zhang Liang and other heroes.

The courtiers agreed.

What Liu Ying represents behind him is the will of the entire Lu group and the heroes, if Liu Bang wants to establish Liu Ruyi, it is against everyone, and Liu Ruyi will not get any support.

That's why Liu Bang said to Liu Ruyi's mother, Mrs. Qi, very helplessly, "After I die, you will be her courtier."

The appointment of Liu Ruyi as the crown prince is more likely to be a temptation for Liu Bang himself when he realized that his time was running out, to test whether the strength of the Lu Group was out of control.

And so it turned out.

So Liu Bang began to worry that Liu Ying, who had a cowardly personality, would not be able to hold the Han Dynasty.

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Bang thought of the White Horse Alliance, and with the help of the power of heaven and earth and the prestige of his founding emperor, he left a life talisman for the Liu family.

The White Horse Alliance did not show its effectiveness at first.

After Zhulu launched a rebellion and the heroes fought to quell the rebellion, and after Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne, the effectiveness of the White Horse Alliance was truly manifested.

The White Horse Alliance is a rule set by Liu Bang, and this rule is to use Zhu Lu's blood as a sacrifice, and it really has an effect.

Since then, the rule that no one can be the king unless the Liu family is the king, and no marquis can be made without military merits has become the highest constitution and the highest contract of society throughout the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty.

Before Guo Peng, Wang Mang tried to challenge this rule, and he once succeeded, but the end was not good.

Guo Peng also asked Yuan Shu to tear up this rule directly, and then abolished him himself.

The fate of the Lu Group, Wang Mang and Yuan Shu is tantamount to adding a stronger binding force to the White Horse Alliance, and it has truly become the life-saving talisman of the Liu family.

The inertia of the two Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty for 400 years, the conventions of society, and the status of the supreme constitution have jointly forged the almost sacrosanct dignity of the White Horse Alliance.

At that time, the people's feelings about the White Horse Alliance were probably the same as the way people now felt about the rule of "killing people to pay off their debts and paying off their debts".

Everyone knows very well that the Han family has come to an end, and everyone knows very well that the maintenance of the Han family is all on Guo Peng alone.

However, when Guo Peng really began to touch the White Horse Alliance, the feeling of panic still appeared.

Guo Peng's power, Guo Peng's prestige, and Guo Peng's ability all impressed his subordinates, so Wei officials under his command supported them out of the concept of political correctness.

The non-Wei official group didn't think so much, they still invited the invisible holy artifact of the White Horse Alliance to torture Guo Peng for the last time.

Guo Peng has made a lot of preparations for this, many years of preparation, many years of hope, to tear up the White Horse Alliance and claim the emperor, and he took the first step to claim the public as a foreshadowing, and even burned Hongnong, so that the Han Central Committee was wiped out, and the prophecies were all over the sky, so as to constantly hit the existence of the Han family.

Rao is like this, the White Horse Alliance is still in front of Guo Peng, becoming an obstacle that is even stronger than the emperor himself.

So when he learned about the heated discussion about the White Horse Alliance in Yecheng's public opinion field, Guo Peng couldn't help but start his reverie.

When Cao Cao destroyed the White Horse Alliance and became king, what kind of mental journey did he go through?

What Xun Yu wants to protect may not be the Han Dynasty itself, but to protect the White Horse Alliance, the supreme constitution that is deeply rooted in the souls of the subjects of the Han Dynasty, and indirectly protect the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang, you are really amazing.

Four hundred years later, you're still holding me back.

Having defeated all visible enemies, this invisible enemy has finally surfaced.

Guo Peng leaned on his soft couch, frowning and thinking about every step ahead.

His subordinates are all tamed, he has a strong binding force and control over his subordinates, the army is loyal to him, the army is absolutely behind him, and his henchmen are also absolutely supportive of him.

However, not everyone can ignore the power of the White Horse Alliance.

Thinking like this, when the time comes, what should it be, or what it is.

Compared with the title of prince and the establishment of a new emperor, perhaps this time is the biggest and final challenge.

Those who will not jump out this time will not jump out against Guo Peng's claim to be emperor in the future.

The person who jumped out this time must have made the decision to live and die with the Han Dynasty.

Come on, the final showdown begins.

I want to see if your life is hard, or if my steel knife is hard.

The White Horse Alliance will end in my hands!

Guo took a deep breath and met countless challenges with his supreme prestige and power.

The Wei official group is their most reliable assistant, and their power needs to be demonstrated by their existence and constantly expanded by their struggle.

The main force that destroyed the White Horse Alliance was not Guo himself, but the Wei official group and the powerful public opinion force they represented.

They are all forces that must be united.

Guo Peng needs to rely on them to stabilize his position and power, and then launch a fierce public opinion war to completely shred the talisman that Liu Bang left to future generations.

So Guo Peng immediately instructed the royal literati group led by Chen Lin to start a public opinion war in Yecheng.

The battle to claim the king has begun.

Guo Peng instructed Chen Lin and focused on Guo Peng's exploits and the protection of the Han Dynasty in the fifteen years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so as to discuss whether Guo Peng had the conditions and qualifications to be king.

Chen Lin wrote seven articles in a row to praise Guo Peng's merits, trying to use various methods to prove that Guo Peng could be called king, and trying to discuss whether the White Horse Alliance is still necessary to exist for 400 years.

This set off a very heated discussion in the field of public opinion in Yecheng.

There are discussions up and down, and they are all discussing which of the seemingly illusory White Horse Alliance or the fifteen-year work of supporting the Han is more meaningful.

For these things, everyone in the world is clear.

Without Guo Peng's protection, the Han Dynasty would have been finished many years ago, and Yuan Shu would have reigned in the world long ago.

If you want to talk about the White Horse Alliance, it is Guo Peng who personally protects it, it is Guo Peng who killed Yuan Shu, and it is Guo Peng who has supported the Han Dynasty so far, so much credit, can't he be called the king?

In fact, for officials, at least for officials above the middle level, they know this kind of thing.

This matter is led by Guo Peng himself, what holy decree can the little emperor make?

Isn't it still Guo Peng's own meaning?

Guo Peng wants to ascend to the throne of Wei, challenge the social constitution of the two Han Dynasty and four hundred years, challenge Liu Bang, and step to the top of the people.

The Wei official group strongly supported it, and they proposed to abandon the White Horse Alliance and let Guo Peng ascend to the top of the people, saying that this was what Guo Peng deserved.

The civil officials headed by Cheng Yu and the military generals led by Cao Ren presented to Guo Peng together, strongly suggesting that he follow the emperor's wishes to ascend to the throne of Wei.

It's the same as when Guo Peng was going to be the Duke of Wei.

Someone tried to block it, but it was impossible to succeed.

Therefore, when the little emperor's holy decree came to Yecheng from Luoyang, the civil officials and military generals were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and collectively invited Guo Peng to become the king of Wei.

But Guo Peng refused.
