The major forces in the world have their own ideas and difficulties.

They couldn't make a threatening enough move about what was happening in the Central Plains River, but unsurprisingly, their eyes were focused on one direction.

In that direction, there was a city, and there was a man.

His decision will bring great changes and influence to the whole world, and his ideas will affect the direction of history in the future.

After the third refusal, the fourth batch of reward envoys of the imperial court set out.

In fact, if you really want to count it, this thing is quite torturous.

People are all in a city, and everyone lives not far away, so it is convenient to play three resignations and three concessions, but Guo Peng is not here.

People can get it in one day, Guo Peng was stunned for three months.

From mid-May to mid-August, it was dragged until Mizhen and the big and small bridge sisters got pregnant together.

Guo has always regarded the inheritance of children as a very important matter, so he spared no effort in giving birth to children.

The big and small bridge sisters were included in the house by him in June, and in early August, the big and small bridge sisters were found to be pregnant one after another, and then Mi Zhen was also pregnant again.

Guo Peng is very happy, and every day he takes some time out to eat with the Xiaoqiao sisters and Mi Zhen, and does his best to ask for warmth and keep them happy, which is good for the children.

When he was busy, he also instructed Cao Landuo to be attentive in this regard, and to care about Guo's heirs, which was her obligation as a mother.

The jealousy that Cao Lan inadvertently revealed can only be alleviated with more companionship and affection.

Anyway, a man's mouth can deceive people's ghosts, Guo Peng's mouth can even deceive ghosts, and he can't clean up Cao Lan?

It's just that Guo Peng is reluctant, because he really loves Cao Lan and has deep feelings for her, while the other concubines, to put it mildly, are just tools for him to maintain relations with major families and major forces, as well as fertility machines.

Political marriages are ugly, mixed with the exchange of interests.

Guo Peng thought like this more than once, so although they were all beautiful and gentle and virtuous in front of him, Guo Peng knew these things too well.

Cao Lan's temperament is gentle, she has known each other for 20 years and has been a husband and wife for 15 years, which Guo Peng still understands, so Guo Peng is worried that Cao Lan will not be able to control the scene when he is away, so he deliberately emphasizes Cao Lan's status as the master mother during family gatherings many times.

He wants to establish an unshakable position for Cao Lan, an unshakable position in his heart.

For him and Cao Lan, this is very important.

The stability of the backyard is related to many things, especially these concubines all have their mother's family behind them, Guo Peng also has to take into account their mother's family when dealing with their problems, which is related to the harmony of the entire group.

The handling of this aspect of the problem consumes the time and possibility that Guo Peng may have feelings for them.

He has little affection, less time, and is not happy to be an amorous person, and it is a very luxurious and ridiculous thing for him to talk about the love between men and women.

Guo Peng is also clear and aware of their jealousy for paying attention to other women and not paying attention to them, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

This may become a problem, but it is also an irreconcilable problem, and it is a problem that will inevitably be brought about by taking the path of political convenience.

Despite this, as long as there is a demand, Guo Peng will not stop this kind of political marriage, as long as the interests are sufficient, it is easier to deal with one person than a family, and it is easier to deal with one person than to deal with a bunch of people.

However, the further back you go, the less likely this becomes.

As he grows older, Guo Peng's own desire decreases on the one hand, his lack of energy is on the other, and the children are growing up, and it is also the other thing that he can share the burden for him.

When the candidate for the crown prince of Wei is established, Guo Jin will become an important assistant to share the firepower for him.

To be the son of someone Guo, or even the heir, you must be prepared to be involuntarily.

Guo Jin is already fourteen years old, and Guo Peng has been studying under Lu Zhi when he was fourteen years old, and he has already faced the ups and downs of the imperial capital of Luoyang alone.

Guo Jin has been sheltered under his wing for too long, and it's time to let it go and accept some wind and rain.

So when he learned that the fourth wave of the imperial court's reward team had crossed the Yellow River and marched towards Yecheng, one night, Guo Peng called Guo Jin to his study.

"The reward envoy of the imperial court has crossed the Yellow River and come to Yecheng, this time, my father will not refuse, but will accept, establish the Duchy of Wei, and become the monarch of Wei, and you are the crown prince of Wei."

Guo Peng put down all the work he was doing, sat face to face with Guo Jin, and had one of the few formal conversations between father and son.

Speaking of which, there are not many such conversations, counting this one, it is the third time.

For the first time, Guo Peng told Guo Jin that he would live an involuntary life in the future.

The second time, Guo Peng told Guo Jin what was the founding of a feudal state.

This time, Guo Peng told Guo Jin that he would become the crown prince of Wei and the heir of Wei.

Guo Jin was stunned for a moment, sitting opposite Guo Peng, not knowing how to answer.

"You are fourteen years old, and when your father was your age, he had already killed people, walked a long way, studied alone in Luoyang, worshiped under the name of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, and became his disciple, you know the hardships."

Guo Jin pursed his lips and nodded slowly.

"You are not a child anymore, and your father will not allow you to continue to be a child, you are the eldest son of your father, you have no choice, the crown prince of Wei is you, and once you become the prince of Wei, you will definitely face everyone's scrutiny, everyone will look at you as the heir of your father, and you will have no choice."

Guo Peng reached out and poured Guo Jin a drink and handed it to him.

Guo Jin took the drink with both hands, didn't drink it, hesitated, and looked at Guo Peng.

"Father, can the son really do this well?"

Guo Jin is not a child, he knows everything he should know, Guo Peng does not treat him as a child, but as an adult communicating with him.

"Ah Jin, I said it for my father, you have no choice, just like the original father, there is no choice for the father, you are the heir, the heir to the father's great foundation, you must do a good job."

As soon as Guo Peng said this, Guo Jin's face became even more nervous.

Seeing him like this, Guo Peng suddenly smiled.

Guo Jin felt strange.

"Why is my father laughing?"

"It's too similar."

Guo Peng said with a smile: "Eighteen years ago, when my father left his hometown and was about to go to Luoyang, your grandfather also talked to his father like this, telling each other about his worries and doubts, your grandfather did not treat your father as a child, so your father did not treat you as a child. ”

"My father was ...... How did you come up with the idea of going to Luoyang? ”

Guo Jin suddenly asked.

Guo Peng was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had never told Guo Jin how he had come all the way.

This is very important for Guo Jin, because he needs to know how his father got to this position step by step.

He didn't have the necessary experience, he didn't get this kind of experience, but at least, he needed to know how his father climbed up step by step with blood and tears.

"The story of the father is not good at all, except for blood is tears, if you want to listen, the father will tell you, after you listen to it, maybe it will be very good for you."

Guo Peng smiled slightly, took a sip of sweet drink, and slowly opened his mouth to tell his story slowly.
