Guo has always been a person who loves to read.

Since childhood, he has studied Confucian classics under the guidance of Guo Dan.

At the age of twelve, he went to the imperial capital and followed Cai Yong to further study the classics, exploring the inner needs of the Confucian scholars of this era from the perspective of literati.

After becoming a disciple of Lu Zhi, under the guidance of the pragmatist Lu Zhi, he began to spy on the mystery of Confucianism's hegemony of overthrowing the hundred schools, and he was only able to learn at the age of eighteen.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's not that he is not talented enough, it's really that the Taixue education in this era is very rough, basically a word-of-mouth education model, and the teacher only said it once, whether the student can realize it depends on his own talent and chance.

And elite education is only one-to-one word of mouth, and teachers have the possibility of teaching many times, and students will have a greater chance of becoming talents.

But even among the 400,000 people who are educated, only about one percent are eligible for elite education.

Luckily, Guo is one of the 1 percent of those 400,000 people.

It can be said that without Lu Zhi's on-demand and careful teaching, Guo would not have understood the most high-end game rules of this era, and it would be difficult to constantly seize opportunities and maximize his own interests.

And through this period of elite education, Guo has gained the ability to continue to learn and increase his knowledge.

He will break sentences.

That's where it's very important.

Because there is no punctuation at this time, the article is consistent, how to break sentences, how to understand the meaning of the ancestors, all in the teacher's teaching, such as the controversial "Tao Ke Tao is very Tao", there are still controversies today, let alone that era.

How to break a sentence even determines how to understand the true meaning of this article, determines the future direction of this group of scholars, and the social status of a family.

The so-called mastery of the right to interpret the classics is to grasp the right to break sentences, and Runan Yuan is to master the right to break sentences in "Yi", so that he has become an unshakable academic master, the fourth and third dukes.

Lu Zhi can break sentences, but his family does not have the right to break sentences for a certain classic, and he has no such qualifications, so he can only teach Guo Peng how to break sentences and how to understand the meaning of his ancestors, which benefits Guo Peng a lot.

In these years, if you want to read and write, if you want to get books, it is not difficult, but the difficulty is to learn.

Without a teacher to teach you to break sentences through a lot of practice, even if you have books to read and can read words, you can't learn the meaning of the scriptures, self-study is a luxury, and there is no room for self-improvement.

Only by learning to break sentences can it be possible to learn by yourself, and breaking sentences is an important power of academic sects to monopolize academics, which are held by them and will never let go.

Therefore, Guo can break sentences, and being able to use his own punctuation marks to break sentences is one of his biggest advantages, and one of the reasons why he can continue to learn by himself.

For example, his self-study of "Han Feizi".

In the war to expand the territory, Guo accidentally got a set of "Han Feizi" from the war.

In his previous life and present life, he has never read "Han Feizi", so he regards this set of "Han Feizi" as a treasure, and he can't let go of the volume, as long as he has time, he keeps reading, and has read it seventy-three times so far, and has personally copied it five times, and each time he has a new experience.

Through study, he believes that this set of "Han Feizi" is the most suitable imperial textbook for the emperor to learn.

Han Fei uses poetic language to explain the cold power relations, revealing the intrigue between the monarch and the minister, compared to the story of Yao Shunyu Chanrang, which Confucian scholars specially used to fool people, "Han Feizi" is the conscience.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo personally opened a set of study lists for Guo Jin, the most important of which was "Han Feizi", especially "Yang Quan".

He personally made notes for this article, so that Guo Jin could study this chapter in depth, understand the essence of the hundred battles in the next day, and understand the most simple and thorough hostile relationship between monarchs and ministers.

The dethronement of the hundred schools of thought and the deposition of these cold things left behind are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

But the essence of these things will not change, and the essence that Guo has gained insight through the war cannot be taken away by anyone.

What's more, he also has the ability to learn independently, which is enough to break the sentences of Han Fei's sub-chapters and learn them without guidance.

No one can limit his self-improvement, no one can limit his thoughts, and no one can see his patterns of action.

As a result, he not only mastered Confucian scholarship and legal provisions, but also mastered Han Fei's thoughts on power and art, and began to learn and use power to control his courtiers, and climbed to the high platform step by step.

Up to now, no one can stop Guo from treating his courtiers the way he treats enemies, no matter who he is, he will be an enemy in his eyes.

As an emperor, when you get up in the morning, you have to fight with your courtiers with your wits and brains in the power field, and face the ministers head-on.

When you go to bed at night, you have to fight with your wife and concubine with your body in bed, and through your own body and the degree of favor for your wife and concubine, you can control the family power behind your wife and concubine.

Life is not endless, fighting endlessly, fighting a hundred battles a day, life is boring and dangerous, and it is no wonder that emperors have often struggled to live long since ancient times.

After deeply understanding the essence of being an emperor, every time he faced the ministers to play, the pressure on himself in the name of righteousness, and the restrictions on his behavior, at that time, Guo would realize that the war had started again.

But, my lords, you don't realize that I am a man who loves to fight.

Ladies and gentlemen! I love war!

Guo laughed wildly and opened his arms to meet the challenge of the courtiers!

The ministers were very dissatisfied with Guo's large-scale construction and construction of the inner court for his exquisite life, believing that this was a precursor to the emperor's depravity, and that it was a sign of danger.

Therefore, led by Shangshu Ling Cheng Yu, Sili Xiaowei Guoyuan and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Cui Yan followed, instigating a large number of Shangshutai officials to appear together, with sincere words and tears in their words, and asked Emperor Guo Peng to stop enjoying himself and shift his attention to Jiangnan, Jingzhou and Yizhou, which had not yet been pacified.

The world is not yet unified, and you are going to rest on your laurels?

This is what Cui Yan said on the table.

The emperors who have established the imperial industry since ancient times have never seen the emperor who rests on his laurels and indulges in it, do you want to repeat the mistakes of the Qin State when you do this? Do you want the death of the Emperor II that you have worked so hard to build?

This is what Guo Yuan said above.

What they said was really polite, not tactful at all, they were pointing at Guo's nose and scolding.

The name of righteousness is so useful.

Standing on the moral high ground to put pressure on the emperor, except for the "mediocre and brutal" faint monarch, how could a normal emperor reprimand such a courtier?

Not only should he not be reprimanded, but he should also admit his mistakes in a low voice, so that he is a good emperor.

I finally realized the feeling of being scolded by the courtiers.

Guo someone inexplicably enjoyed a little bit.

It's strange that when I wasn't an emperor before, no one did it, but now that I'm an emperor, someone else does.

It feels amazing.

Is it more interesting to scold the emperor than to scold the warlord?

Or is it safer?

This psychological shift is very interesting.

"Su Yuan, why do you say that when I wasn't an emperor before, no one would scold me like this, but when I became an emperor, someone scolded me like this?"

Guo Peng looked at Su Yuan, the close eunuch beside him.

Su Yuan was one of the eunuchs who had served Liu Jian before, and among the only remaining eunuchs, he was also relatively senior, so he was selected as Guo Peng's close eunuch.

Su Yuan knew his position very well, so he served Guo Peng carefully, and never made a difference.

In the face of Guo Peng's questions, he has always been cautious and never dared to discuss Guo Peng's prohibition of his remarks.

Although he is literate.

"It may be that in the past, Your Majesty was not in danger of the world, but now Your Majesty is in danger of the world, so the ministers are even more worried."

He replied cautiously.

"More worried? Well, it's kind of interesting, kind of interesting. ”

Guo Peng smiled and didn't talk about it.

Although it feels bad to be scolded, it is actually okay, at least the matter of his wanton expansion of the eunuch yamen has been fooled.

At this time, it is suitable to perform an image of an emperor who humbly accepts advice and changes mistakes, and the rest should be about the same.

So Guo Peng issued an edict, expressed his "negligence" to the courtiers, and convened a grand court meeting, and asked the relevant departments of the imperial court to discuss these two matters together, and discuss the matter of sending troops to pacify Jingzhou and Yizhou, so as to make his own gesture.

Since Liu Zhang and Liu Biao rejected their request for surrender, what was left to face was war.

This was the third month after the establishment of the new dynasty, in March of the first year of Yandeok.
