Anyone who has followed Guo Peng for a long time knows that Guo Peng is an emperor with a very strong desire for power.

Even if he can't get it for a while, he will worry about the impact, and he will try his best to set up obstacles to intervene, and he will definitely not let these powers really fall aside.

This is Guo Peng's governing style.

The cadres are arbitrary and do not allow others to interfere.

This was very unfriendly to the courtiers.

Because the emperor's power is too great, it will limit their power and affect their interests, so that they cannot happily promote the backwards, engage in nepotism, and develop their own power, but must take into account the existence of the emperor everywhere.

This kind of thing has happened many times before, so it is inevitable that some people will not be afraid to speculate on the emperor's thoughts with the greatest malice.

They would imagine such a possibility.

For example, the emperor will set up the Shangshu Ling monk and Shang Shu servant shot, so that Shang Shuling and Shang Shu servant shoot will become vain, so as to bypass them and directly make the eight departments of Shang Shutai responsible for the emperor.

The centralization of power of the emperor was greatly strengthened.

Such an act is equivalent to eliminating Zaifu, and no longer setting up Zaifu.

Although the probability is extremely low, it is definitely not impossible.

It's just that such a future is too terrifying for the courtiers, so no one dares to really put forward such an idea for everyone to discuss, and only dares to make some presuppositions quietly by themselves.

In the current high-pressure environment, the best thing for everyone is to do things honestly.

Don't quarrel, don't argue, don't have unclean hands and feet, do your own things honestly, you can keep peace, peace is a blessing, peace is the most important thing.

As long as you can withstand this wave, when the battle is won, and when the emperor returns to the court to reward his ministers, it is almost the time for everyone to come out of the haze.

If you win a battle, you must always reward the ministers, so that you can get out of the shadow brought by the previous political turmoil and usher in a happy time again.

It is no secret that the emperor intends to go north to exterminate the Xianbei people, but something that can be discussed openly.

The more important thing is that this Northern Expedition was not simply to send troops to conquer, but the emperor personally led the army to conquer the grassland.

This news first flowed out of the staff station, and then spread throughout the imperial court, and in the middle of April of the fifth year of Yande, many people were talking about this matter.

There is no doubt that His Majesty is the emperor immediately, and the foundation of the Wei State was laid down by him, and he is a well-deserved master, but no matter what, he has not personally commanded the army for many years.

He, is it okay?

Some people really doubt that after so many years of not leading troops to fight, Guo Peng is still the invincible commander who swept the world, and whether he can continue his undefeated legend.

He is really strong, like a fierce man from heaven, descending into this world like a savior.

He spent twenty years sweeping away all kinds of dissatisfaction, ending the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, and establishing a stronger Wei Empire on the corpse of the Han Empire.

Under his rule, the Wei Empire was revitalized, its national strength was thriving and becoming stronger day by day, and its territory had surpassed that of the former Han Dynasty, and it was still stable internally, and there was no civil unrest.

This proves that he can not only fight, not only has military ability, but also political ability, and can govern a country well.

No one doubts whether Guo Peng, as a military commander, can smoothly transform into a politician and govern a country well.

However, after so many years as a politician and so many years away from the front-line battlefield, it is still worth thinking about whether he can transform back into a military commander again.

Moreover, as an emperor, as a unique and vital emperor of the Wei Empire, no one wanted him to leave Luoyang to fight again.

Yes, he is indeed very fierce, he likes power, likes to torment courtiers, and suppresses those who do not obey his will, but he is a unique emperor.

As long as he is there, his prestige can make the world stable, and as long as he lives for one day, the world will be stable for one day.

Guo Peng's prestige was an important factor in the Wei Empire's stability, because he was the strongest person in the world, so strong that all people with bad intentions despaired, so he brought peace.

The world is safe, and there should be no chaos, for most officials, it is also what they are looking forward to.

The establishment of the Wei Empire was not so far away from the troubled times of the former Han Dynasty.

In the troubled times, the warlords destroyed their homes and destroyed their homes, as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and even the families of the scholars were wiped out if they were not careful, and they died tragically under the butcher's knife.

Groups of people are dying, and they are dying out one by one.

It's like the fire in Hongnong Castle a few years ago.

In the chaotic war of the warlords, a fire destroyed the entire Hongnong court, and few people survived, and the central government of the Han Dynasty and the filial piety emperor Liu Xie were wiped out.

This is the first time in history that the group has been wiped out.

That is what only happens in troubled times, and now that the troubled times are over, under the leadership of Guo Peng, the highly prestigious emperor, the world has restored stability, and everyone has obtained a safe living environment and superior material conditions.

This is extremely precious to most of the officials from the poor family and even from Li Shu, and they are absolutely unwilling to lose it.

Guo Peng has a bad reputation among the group of scholars and bureaucrats, and he has not tossed them since the founding of the country, but the stable political situation brought by Guo Peng is what they need.

They didn't know what would happen to the Wei Empire once they lost Guo Peng.

They are conservative, they are conservative, backward and reactionary in nature, and they yearn for a peaceful environment for them to operate, rather than to survive in troubled times.

They don't want to face hordes of murderous warlords anymore.

There were indeed many wealthy families who disappeared in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, but the scholars were not without them.

Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the warlords' persecution of the scholars has not stopped, and they have also lived a precarious life.

When it comes to peace, they expect no less from it than others.

Only a madman would want to go back to chaos.

Therefore, many people expressed opposition to Guo Peng's personal expedition to Xianbei in the Northern Expedition, and all kinds of expressions hoped that Guo Peng would think twice, and then put forward various alternative candidates, hoping that Guo Peng would appoint them as the commander of the Northern Expedition Xianbei and eliminate Xianbei.

In their opinion, Xianbei is no longer the powerful enemy of the Tanshihuai period, and there is no need for the emperor to personally drive the expedition and send a general to lead 100,000 iron cavalry to destroy them.

The suitable candidates they proposed include Cao Ren, including Yu Ban, as well as Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and some people recommended Zhao Yun.

Basically, the five tiger generals of the empire were all named, let them take command of the expedition, and they would definitely be victorious, so why should the emperor go out in person?

Are you the emperor, or do you honestly stay in Luoyang to deal with government affairs and maintain the stability of the Wei Empire?

Isn't it fragrant to stay in the palace and someone will do things for you?

After reading a lot of recitals, such as those that recommend alternative candidates, Guo Peng wanted to laugh.

Do you think I'm just here to win this war?

It's not that simple.

How could the things that the emperor wanted to do be so simple?

If you really want to eliminate Xianbei, you don't need to send the five tiger generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, these people, just send two or three to let them lead the troops to the north to conquer, then it would be strange if they couldn't win.

But I'm not just trying to win.

With the power of victory, I can do more and more things, let my prestige rush to the top, let me shape an invincible golden body, and challenge the rules of the operation of this society.

I'm going to break the old rules and set new ones, you won't understand, will you?
