Guo Jin's answer made Guo Peng very satisfied.

This is indeed a tried and tested way for the central government to suppress the localities. The emperors of the Western Han Dynasty after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as well as Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, all used this method to deal with local heroes.

And it really works.

"That's right, this is the central government's method of curbing the localities, the flowing water is not rotten, the household hub is not beetle, it must be moved, it must be moved, it will not be corrupted, and it will not get out of control when it moves, and those who have made a fortune in the local area will soon dominate one side if they do not control it in time.

Only by controlling it in time can they not be the one who is in trouble, completely replace the family to another strange place, and cut off all their contacts and social relations, which is the biggest suppression and containment of them, and it is also the best way to govern the place. ”

Guo Peng sighed and paused.

"Everything that should be said has been said, but what should be done has not been done, it is easy to say, but there are always a thousand things to do, this is the difficulty of politics, for the father has said enough to you, the next thing, you have to learn by yourself, experience by yourself, and do it yourself."

Guo Peng let go of his hand and decided to let Guo Jin experience the wider world and the difficulties of politics.

"In the next stage, my father plans to continue to promote the imperial examination, and at the same time, strengthen domestic governance and the handling of major projects, and next, we will end the last point of use of troops."

"What did my father say, the Western Regions?"

"Yes, it is the Western Regions, to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road, to directly trade with the Guishan State and even the Great Qin State, to save those small countries in the Western Regions from taking a cut of the layers, and to earn higher benefits for our Wei, so as to increase the treasury revenue and raise enough funds for the major projects in the future."

"But what is the reason for going to war? I, the master of Wei Wangdao, can't start a war without any reason, and the small countries in the Western Regions are also respectful to my Wei, and regard me as the suzerain, if I attack and destroy their countries unreasonably, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the people. ”

Guo Jin raised concerns.

Guo Peng nodded.

"It is indeed difficult to convince the public to destroy his country unreasonably, but Ah Jin, the so-called crime of wanting to add to it, why is there no excuse, and what is the trouble of destroying the country that wants to be destroyed?"

"What does Father mean?"

"If you want to crusade against the Western Regions, the reason is not the most important thing, the most important thing is when we are ready, when we are ready, when can we start crusading against the Western Regions, the initiative is mine, not in the Western Regions."

Guo Peng clenched his hands into fists: "I'm strong, he's weak, if I want to beat him, he can't reason with me, even if he is reasonable, he can't stop me from finding an excuse to beat him, as long as I'm willing, as long as I want to, excuses, reasons, everything is a floating cloud, this kind of realm, not everyone can understand." ”

Guo Jin deeply experienced this realm.

"What the father meant, the son understands, this kind of realm is indeed not something that everyone can understand, only a saint like the father can understand."

Guo Peng grinned.

"So, Ah Jin, you go to Liangzhou, you don't have to do the county order, this battle, you come to be the commander, you will follow Zixiao, after this battle, Zixiao understands me and will cooperate with you."

Guo Jin was stunned.

Fight?

Or is he the commander-in-chief?

Is Guo Peng kidding?

"Father...... This ......"

"You have been to the Northeast, but you didn't use your public identity, so you didn't make any contributions, now you go to the Northwest again, lead the army as a commander, and fight a victory with a public identity, and when you come back this time, your father will give you a promotion, Henan Yin, and then, Shouyang Mountain Martial Arts Hall will also be handed over to you to manage."

"Father, I have never led a soldier, and all this is ......"

Guo Peng stretched out his hand to block Guo Jin's desire to continue.

"After all, you have to take over everything in the hands of your father, take it all in one go, you can't stand it, and the people below don't obey you, if you don't manage it well, something will happen, and there will be a big problem in Wei State.

So, little by little, in this process, you gradually become familiar with it, gradually master, and gradually let people get used to your existence, and then you go to win people's hearts, to improve fame, to gain popularity, understand? ”

Guo Jin bit his lip and nodded.

"The son understands, what the father says, the son will do it, and the son will never let the father down!"

Guo Peng smiled and didn't say anything.

In his view, the transfer of power should not be sudden, it should not be sudden.

When the old emperor died, the power was transferred to the new emperor in one go, and it was difficult for the new emperor to hold on to power immediately, which could easily cause a power struggle between the new emperor and the so-called auxiliary ministers, triggering a political struggle in the early stage of the change of the throne.

This is not conducive to the stability of the country, and it will damage the smooth operation of the policies left by the old emperor, which is definitely not a good thing for the country.

Policies need to run smoothly, and national policies are even more so, and the operation of policies that are beneficial to the country should not be compromised by political struggles, resulting in a good policy being dragged down by politics.

Therefore, Guo Peng can't accept such a situation, and he doesn't plan to leave any auxiliary ministers to be a-stirring stick.

This has extremely high requirements for Guo Jin's ability in all aspects.

Therefore, he is more interested in slowly handing over the power in his hands to Guo Jin little by little, letting him be familiar with it, let him grasp it slowly, let him gradually become a powerful person, and be familiar with such feelings and status.

Then, when he became emperor, everything fell into place, without waves.

The courtiers are accustomed to Guo Jin walking to the front desk and Guo Peng retreating to the backstage, accustomed to Guo Jin giving orders to them instead of Guo Peng doing it himself, and when the day really comes, the transfer of power will become very smooth.

At that time, I probably exhausted all my energy, and I could retire successfully.

This is the most ideal state in Guo Peng's heart.

He can't be an emperor all the time, he can always be an emperor, a hundred battles a day, and constant battles day and night will greatly consume his energy and greatly reduce his lifespan.

He has already felt the gradual loss of energy, felt the decline in all aspects of physical fitness, and the good body and strong physical fitness brought to him by the perennial campaign have been unable to last for a few years, and the years will not be forgiving after all.

It's really tiring to be an emperor, to be an emperor who holds great power and wants to do a lot of great things.

And he gradually discovered that in fact, at this point, it doesn't matter whether he is an emperor or not, the important thing is that he is alive.

His life is a symbol, a flag.

As long as he lives, his prestige will not disappear, his prestige will not disappear, and in the eyes of the people of the world, he has always been the supreme person in the world, so it is not very important whether he is still sitting on the emperor's throne.

His policies will continue to be implemented, and his goals will continue to move forward.

He is so powerful that no one in the world can ignore him, and as long as he lives, even if he is not the emperor, he can use his residual power to promote the development of the empire.

How far the empire can go depends on how many more years he can live.

The longer he lived, the longer the empire could advance.

Therefore, when the time is right, he will step back and hand over the throne to Guo Jin.

No other powers can be dispensed with, as long as the power of the Linzi camp is maintained, let the Linzi camp become his eyes, and continue to monitor the entire empire.

In addition, he will be able to rest more, maintain his health more, exercise more, cultivate his temperament, live a few more years, and it is best to live as an old monster and an ancestor.

Alive, to see the Wei Empire continue to follow his expectations.

So from now on, he will give Guo Jin enough time and experience to familiarize himself with power, grasp power, and exercise power.

When he is enough to take over power and consolidate power, it is time for Guo Peng to abdicate and give up the throne to Guo Jin.

Everything was in his plan.
