The news of Lu Su's appointment as the assassin of Pingzhou came back along with the news of the demise of the Gongsun clan and the pacification of Liaodong.

Suddenly, a large number of people who sang the praises of virtue and patted their sycophants could not hold back their excitement, and they congratulated Guo Peng one after another, praising Guo Peng's great achievements in sweeping away the warlords.

Chen Lin, the head of the royal literati, took the lead in writing an article to praise Guo Peng, and also mobilized his subordinates to sing an ode to Guo Peng......

It's just a numb.

But it doesn't matter, Chen Lin hasn't been ridiculed for a day or two.

He didn't care at all, since he escaped from Luoyang and arrived in Qingzhou with Guo Peng, Chen Lin had already seen it.

What Guo Peng needs is his literary style and his articles.

As long as he can continue to output high-quality articles stably, as long as he can continue to write all kinds of excellent articles according to Guo Peng's needs, he can get Guo Peng's absolute favor and is very safe.

As long as he obeys orders to write articles, no political issues will affect him.

This guy is smart.

Therefore, when the country was founded, Chen Lin had to be named the Marquis of Sheyang, a third-class marquis, and 1,100 households, not only could not be regarded as the back, but was at the top in the entire meritorious system.

This came as a surprise to quite a few people.

Relying on good writing and shameless characteristics, Chen Lin also became one of the dignitaries of the dynasty, and the merits earned by the articles written by a pen were no less than those of some generals who led troops to fight and died.

Everyone knows that Guo Peng pampered this soft-boned scholar, and everyone despised him, but whenever Chen Lin was richly rewarded, those who scolded the most joyful people may not be envious.

There are also many people among the generals who don't understand that Guo Pengweihe pampered Chen Lin so much, and even was able to give Chen Lin such a good treatment.

Some generals who risked their lives to fight could not get more than 1,000 households, Chen Lin had never been on the battlefield, and he was powerless, but he could get such a high reward.

But the really smart people will understand.

Chen Lin's pen and his literary thoughts have helped Guo Peng a lot, and the high-quality articles output by Chen Lin have made a great contribution to Guo Ren's own occupation of the moral high ground.

In terms of soft power, the surpassing of the scholars and bureaucrats helped Guo Peng no less than the army's crushing of the enemy in hard power.

Especially in the process of fighting for power and profit with the Shi clan, Chen Lin's pen brought him help that the army could not do.

The army is used to flip the table, it is the ultimate weapon of violence.

Chen Lin is the one who is used to break his wrists.

Unless he really can't break his wrist and faces the danger of overturning, at the last moment, Guo will choose to use the army to lift the table.

It's not a good thing to flip the table, just look at Dong Zhuo's fate.

It is impossible for Guo to kill all the scholars to seize all the imperial power, he needs someone to help him govern the country, and it is undeniable that more than 80% of the high-level talents are from the scholar family.

So Guo asked Chen Lin to lead a team of royal literati and engage in team tactics.

Sometimes Chen Lin's strength is not enough, the team will come up, collectively output articles, go into battle, and the enemy will be on the line collectively, crazy and smelly, so as to seize the high ground of public opinion for Guo someone.

And then repeatedly succeeded, and repeatedly turned the danger into a disaster.

Guo Peng relied on the army to fight abroad, and Chen Lin to fight at home.

Every time Guo Peng encounters a crisis of public opinion, Chen Lin comes forward and fights with each other with his pen, frantically facing each other and smelling each other, in order to occupy the high ground of public opinion.

The pain of losing the high ground of public opinion, Guo is very clear.

The ancients also felt deeply about this, so there was a saying that there was a rhetoric.

Public opinion is no less powerful than a sword.

If it weren't for Chen Lin's long-term battle to occupy the high ground of public opinion, constantly fighting with people to attract firepower and frantically facing the line, Guo would have been hacked into charcoal.

Can you still get the title of the wind of the famous general?

Joke!

These 1,100 households were given to Chen Lin, not only did they not lose money, but they still made a lot of money for Guo.

With Chen Lin's continuous output of violence and the suppression of public opinion for a long time, Guo will have a lot less constraints on doing things.

If you can't stand on the moral high ground and give orders from the high ground of public opinion, then it will not be so easy to accomplish something.

So it's not surprising that Chen Lin is favored.

Chen Lin's official position is the second assistant of the cabinet, and he is one of Guo Peng's most trusted officials.

Of course, Chen Lin knows that his administrative level is a few pounds and a few taels, so he basically does not appear in the cabinet, he takes his team in his mansion to write articles and exercise his writing all day long, or drink and eat and recite poems, and only enter the palace when there is something to do.

He would personally listen to Guo Peng's request, and then write a large number of high-quality proposition essays, criticizing the remarks that often appeared unfavorable to Guo Peng, and more often he would personally go down to debate with others, and he won many victories.

If this continues, his title and food will continue to rise.

That's for sure.

This time, the high-quality articles output by Chen Lin were as always, and they were very liked by Guo Peng, so he ordered them to be disseminated, so that people would know and beautify themselves.

Although the articles written by Chen Lin are basically sycophants, there are also real places.

The most convincing lies are true lies.

The so-called true lie is to use real arguments as support, and secretly exchange concepts in arguments to achieve their own goals, so as to bring the rhythm.

Such a lie, true, effective, easy to bring rhythm, resonate, and not easy to find out that it is a lie.

Chen Lin is especially good at this truth, and it is familiar to write articles and lie.

But his lies are also supported by Guo's real merits, without real merits, how can there be true lies?

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been turbulent, the warlords have divided their territories, and the people have struggled to make a living.

And Guo Peng rose up to fight in the army for 20 years, leveled the warlords in the world, and restored stability in the world, and such feats were also first-class in all dynasties.

Why can't you use it to blow it up?

This is not true?

This is certainly true.

It's just that how to play later, that is dominated by subjective emotions.

For Chen Lin, anyway, whether the rainbow fart wants money, boasting about it, making it hard, in a word, making the emperor happy!

Chen Lin did this, and his team did this.

Of course, Guo Peng is very happy, very happy.

Because the last warlord of troubled times of his time was swept away, and the last threat was gone.

He was the last one to come out on top.

From a legal point of view, from a social point of view, and from a historical point of view, Guo has become an unassailable lord of the world.

This made Guo feel very happy, and made Guo feel boundless happy.

His power, his prestige, his control over the world has been further enhanced.

That's a good thing.

And that's not all.

On December 16 of the second year of Yande, the day after Guo Peng learned that Liaodong had been conquered.

Zhang Jin, the assassin of the former Han Dynasty, expressed his willingness to surrender to Guo Peng, hand over the land of Jiaolu, and incorporate it into the rule of the Guo Wei Empire in order to complete the unification of the country.
