The Unified Banquet was extremely joyful and luxurious.

Because the five-day holiday was just after, Guo announced on the spot that he did not need to be restrained, and that he would enjoy himself, although he was dissolute, and the monarch and the ministers shared the joy of bliss.

So almost everyone is open to drinking, to having fun, to indulgence.

The feast did not end until late at night, and the people left the palace in groups of three or five with each other, and returned to their homes, where they fell asleep and snored like thunder.

In their dreams, they see a bright future, a future that they can enjoy as much as they want.

Everybody had a drunken, rotten smile on their faces.

In the hazy eyes, they seem to see a bright future that belongs to them, a future that belongs to them to do whatever they want.

And the master of this empire, Guo someone, did not want to sleep at all.

He doesn't know if others are drunk or not, but he himself is not drunk at all.

Of course, Guo Jin was not drunk.

With Guo Jin, Guo Peng returned to the study of the Qinzheng Palace, retreated left and right, leaving only Guo Jin alone.

"Ah Jin, did you see today's banquet?"

"What does Father mean?"

"Those who are extremely happy, those who indulge in indulgence, how happy they are, how happy they are, and how happy they are, it is really enviable, and it would be nice if such happiness could be shared by the Father."

Guo Peng sat on the cushion, the corners of his mouth hooked.

Guo Jin was a little strange about Guo Peng's attitude.

"The dynasty rules the world, and no one can question the orthodoxy, isn't their joy a matter of course? Isn't my father happy? ”

"Yes, they should be happy, and they should be happy for their father, but the father has not found that anyone is as sad as his father, Ah Jin, are you sad?"

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin, but Guo Jin was a little confused.

"Sadness?"

"Yes, you haven't seen that kind of scene, you haven't experienced what you went through as a father, you don't understand."

Guo Peng took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and covered his eyes.

"I could have killed fewer people."

Hearing this, Guo Jin was suddenly a little surprised.

"Father's ......"

"I could have saved a lot of people without killing so many people, Ah Jin, I could have saved a lot of people without killing so many people, five million, how many years will it take to recover these five million people? But it only takes a moment, as long as it is a moment, it can kill many, many people.

I have a lot of opportunities, there are many opportunities to kill fewer people, I can save a lot of people, I can let them not die, let them live to see this day, let them enjoy peace, but I didn't do it, Ah Jin, I didn't do it, I killed a lot of people who should have been killed, but there are also many people who didn't have to die, and they also died......"

Guo Peng sighed deeply.

"But my father also saved more people."

Guo Jin bent his knees forward and sat next to Guo Peng: "Many people would have died, they would have starved to death, they would have been killed, they would have died because of all kinds of things, but as long as my father's army arrived, they would have survived." ”

"You're going to be comforting."

Guo Peng touched Guo Jin's head and showed a sad smile that had never been shown in front of others.

"This is a fact, if it weren't for my father to sweep away the warlords and sweep away the ambitious people, the world would continue to be chaotic, and more people would die, and at that time, no one would care about them, my father was different, my father cared about them."

Guo Jin's face was serious.

Guo Peng looked into his eyes and was silent for a while.

Then speak.

"Ah Jin, you told your father, if your father is gone, will you still care about them? Concerned about those who face the loess with their backs to the sky? Will you continue to protect them? ”

"Yes."

Guo Jin did not hesitate: "They are our foundation, I don't care about them, but in two hundred years, the Yellow Turban Incident has reappeared, and the Wei State will perish!" ”

Guo Peng pursed his lips, then nodded.

"Yes, they are our foundation, more trustworthy than any cronies, and you can never forget that."

Guo Peng stretched out his hand and held one of Guo Jin's hands: "But Ah Jin, my father is really worried, my father will care about them, and you will care about them, but what about your son?" What about your grandchildren? Will the kings of our Guo family still care about them?

If the monarch is incompetent, deceived by the people, and becomes the emperor of the former Han Dynasty, he will become an emperor before he is even an adult, and when the imperial power is lost and he is unable to protect himself, who can protect them? So the Father is wondering what to do, or how to teach them how to protect themselves. ”

Guo Jin was quite surprised.

"Father, it means ...... to protect yourself"

"Ah Jin, the prince and general, would you rather have a kind?"

Guo Peng stared at Guo Jin deadly.

Guo Jin swallowed.

"Not really...... Not really. ”

"That's right, it's not like that, what beheaded the white snake, what the red emperor son of the white emperor, what the great Chuxing Chen Shengwang, what Liu Xiudang was the son of heaven, what auspicious rui descended from the sky, and what unicorn descended into the world...... It's all fake! ”

Guo Peng shouted angrily, and then, he became a little depressed, and said in a low voice: "Everything is just a private plan for the portal, for the father is clear, he can build a country for the private plan of the portal, a country with one family and one surname, can it prevent other portals from plotting for private purposes?" ”

Guo Peng shook his head helplessly.

"Ah Jin, it's not right to build a country for your father, this country is usurped for your father, it's just that the strong soldiers and horses are the emperor, one family and one surname, the door is private, and the father keeps saying that he is for the world and the people, but he is still trying to help you to take the throne, who can't see it?"

"Father's ......"

Guo Jin was speechless.

"But the father can't do it, the father knows everything, but he can't do it, he wants to do something, but he finds that there is nowhere to start, all the things that can change all this, no, can't do it."

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand tightly: "I was planning to be the emperor for my father, but after becoming the emperor, I realized that this was just the beginning, Ah Jin, do you know what my father saw in the hall today?" ”

"I don't know ......"

Guo Jin shook his head.

"More than 20 years ago, when my father was still young, I studied with Lu Gong in Luoyang, and Lu Gong once took my father to attend a banquet among those high-ranking families.

"A feast of the dead?"

"Yes, the banquet of the dead country, how exquisite their food is, how wonderful the singing and dancing, but that's, just on the enemy side very close to them, some people starved to death, Zhumen wine and meat stink, there were frozen bones on the road, the wealthy nobles spent all day drinking, Li Shu starved to death miserably, what is it if it is not a banquet of the dead country?"

Guo Peng took a deep breath and said, "Today, at today's banquet, my father suddenly discovered that the banquet in today's palace was not the banquet of the dead country?" ”

"Father!"

Guo Jin was very surprised.

"They're back, Ah Jin, they haven't left, they've been looking for a chance to come back, and now that the world has just been unified, they can't wait to come back!"

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand tightly and stared at him tightly, his eyes full of anger.

Boundless rage.

"They ruined Han, and now they want to destroy Wei! It is necessary to transfer everything that Han has experienced to Wei's body! One more time! ”

"How long has it been? It's only been twenty years! Twenty years! And they're back! ”

"What is the difference between the demons of that day and the demons of today? It's all the same, it's a group of demons! I ruined them once, and now, they're starting all over again! ”

Feeling the boundless anger in Guo Peng's heart, Guo Jin only felt shocked.

Wei State, is it going to die?

It's only been two years since the founding of the country!

"Father, they ...... What is it? ”

Guo Jin was a little ignorant, vaguely knowing what "they" were, but not so real.

"They are nothing, they can be anything, scholars, heroes, high-ranking officials, dignitaries, laughter, bustle, hustle, cups and lamps, singing and dancing, music, food, incense, luxury, marriage, they can be anything."

Guo Peng closed his eyes, slowly opened them again, calmed his mood, and slowly spoke: "Ah Jin, you don't need to know what they are, and you can't know what they are, you just need to know that all the factors that can lead to the death of the country are them, and that's it." ”

Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng in a daze, trying to understand, but didn't seem to understand.

"If you enter, you will not be able to get home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish, and then you will know that you will be born in distress and die in peace."

Guo Peng explained in words that Guo Jin could understand immediately.

Guo Jin's eyes widened, and he seemed to understand.

"This is the chapter of Mencius, what does my father mean?"

Guo Peng sighed slightly.

"If you want to stop the death of the country, there are many ways, but Ah Jin, the most undesirable thing in the world, is called peace and quiet, which seems to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is as dangerous as an egg.

What's even more terrifying is that everyone is content with the status quo, unwilling to change, imperceptibly, the symptoms are deep, and it is too late to want to change, but if you want to change, you must risk breaking your bones.

Since ancient times, few people who have changed have a good end, and forcibly dragging them out of the gentle township will have to pay a price, and few people can bear this price. ”
