Cheng Yu cares too much about his power.

It's nothing, there are more people who like power.

But he shouldn't challenge the imperial power, even if it was unintentional.

Because Guo will only care more about the imperial power in his hand than him, Guo will only pay more than Cheng Yu for this imperial power.

Guo Peng gave him a chance to reflect.

But it seems that he didn't realize what the most fundamental mistake he had made was, so Guo was unhappy.

Tian Feng's side is also a little exaggerated.

And because of his resistance to Cheng Yu, the forces of the traditional scholars who had been scattered before were regrouped and inadvertently gathered around Tian Feng, making Tian Feng their leader.

If those people think that it was Tian Feng's efforts that Cheng Yu was defeated, Tian Feng's prestige would increase, and he would become a real scholar leader, which was not in the interest of Guo someone.

Guo is in control of the economic lifeline of the Tian family, and what he wants is to grasp the right to decide the life and death of the Tian family.

If Tian Feng finds another way, Guo's control of the Tian family will have problems.

And Cui Yan is jumping again, Guo Peng is disgusted with him.

Qinghe Cui's is indeed still a small shrimp at the moment, not as good as Boling Cui's, but in the future, it will become one of the five surnames and seven hopes.

After monopolizing education, there are many talented families!

They are the lifelong enemies of someone Guo.

If you can abolish one, you can abolish one, as long as Guo is alive, you will never let them have a good time.

The offensive firepower of the Tianfeng Group and the counteroffensive firepower of the Cheng Yu Group seem to be on Guo's side, and they have not set off any waves.

But according to the judgment of professionals, it was because the firepower of the two canceled each other out, so that the emperor did not know who was wrong and who was right, so he fell into a tangle.

As a result, under the design of professionals from both groups, the two sides escalated this scolding war, escalating from a matter of facts to a personal attack, and began to try to reduce the dimensionality of each other from the aspects of morality.

By this time, everyone had already killed red eyes.

It doesn't matter if the other party is Cao Cao or Cheng Yu, Tian Feng or Qiao Rui or Cui Yan, it doesn't matter.

grabbed Cheng Yu's arbitrariness and narrow-mindedness, criticized Cheng Yu, and thought that Cheng Yu was not worthy of being a Zaifu.

grabbed Cao Cao's lust and the luxury of his private life, and criticized Cao Cao for not living frugally according to Guo Peng's advocacy, but instead made a group of wives and concubines extravagant and extravagant, such a person can also be the first assistant of the cabinet?

Tianfeng Group made a move, and Cheng Yu Group couldn't help but make a move, they were-for-tat.

Talking about Tian Feng's previous statement that he would repair the canal to Jizhou, he said that Tian Feng was very selfish and didn't care about the life or death of the people of Limin, and he was not worthy of being a scholar or a secretary of the Ministry of Works.

He also pointed to the example of Cui Yan's previous crimes, saying that Cui Yan looked like an elder on the surface, but in fact, he did all kinds of bad things behind his back, and even his family didn't care about it, which shows that he is hypocritical, and such a person can also be a scholar of the Ministry of Rites for the country?

The scolding between the two sides is very intense, so intense that all the performances that Guo saw were the kind of words that were not swear words but like swearing, which fully demonstrated the high cultural literacy of this group of people.

Of course, Guo is clear about this, but Guo Jin does not know it completely, and such a struggle is conducive to allowing Guo Jin to see the complex true face of these people.

So Guo Jin once again refreshed his cognition of those "elders" who are smiling like flowers, gentle and dignified.

"Father, I really didn't expect them to get to this point."

Guo Jin put down his watch and shook his head: "For the sake of power, I don't care about it at all, it's really disgusting to be so ugly." ”

Guo Jin was sincerely disgusted by the various postures of officials in the context of political struggle.

"They have always been like this, they have never changed, what you see is their mask, what they are in front of you, what they are in front of the Father, not what they are, when it comes to the struggle for power and status, everybody will change a lot."

Guo Peng pointed to himself, as well as Guo Jin: "The current father, the future you are the same, you are human, just the same, people never have only one face." ”

Guo Jin lowered his head and was silent.

"The battle between Cheng Yu and Tian Feng is also a battle between the two forces of the DPRK and China, and the battle between Cheng Tian's party is intensifying, Ah Jin, in your opinion, who will win this battle better?"

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin with interest.

Guo Jin blinked, realizing that this was Guo Peng's test, so he began to think calmly.

"Cheng Lingjun is consistent with his father at all levels, although this kind of thing is not quite in line with what a person in the position of Zaifu should do, but Cheng Lingjun's loyalty to his father is beyond doubt, and Tian Servant shoots ......"

Guo Jin hesitated.

"If he didn't get so close to Cui Shangshu, maybe he was right, he didn't take the initiative to be an enemy of Cheng Lingjun, but Cheng Lingjun misunderstood him, but the matter has come to this point, it should be better for Cheng Lingjun to win."

"Really?"

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin noncommittally.

Isn't that right?

Guo Jin was a little puzzled.

"What does the father think his son is not right?"

"Once Cheng Yu wins and defeats Tian Feng, he will be the leader of Shangshutai, whether it is prestige or power, he will greatly increase, and no one will dare to fight with him again, at least not for a long time, do you think this is good?"

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin.

"This ......"

"He will lose control, his shortcomings will be completely magnified, and the father will lose full control of Shang Shutai, which will be very dangerous."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Cheng Yu already has a lot of power, if he further increases his prestige, he will become a true Zaifu, and no one can check and balance it, unless it is completely eliminated."

If you want to get to that point, your father will personally suppress Cheng Yu, reorganize Shangshutai, and have a big purge, so that the situation in the Wei Dynasty will be shaken greatly.

That requires the use of the army, the use of the emperor's coercive power, unless it is at the most critical juncture, because the father does not want to do that, the army is used to lift the table, and the political struggle is not to lift the table as soon as it comes up. ”

Guo Jin took a deep breath.

"My son is not thoughtful."

"So, who's better to win?"

"Tian Servant Shooting?"

Guo Jin pursed his lips and said: "The Tian family is also half a relative, and it is inextricably linked with my Guo family, according to this, it should be better for the Tian family to win, and Tian Servant does not have the same deep qualifications and prestige as Cheng Lingjun." ”

"Why did my father attack Xun Yu first, then Chen Ji, and then Cui Yan?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "Can't you see the driving force behind them?" Scholars, if there is no leader with a unified understanding, especially in Shangshutai, what will happen if a widely recognized leader is born?

The strength behind Tian Feng to support him, in addition to Cui Yan and Qiao Rui, there are also a large number of scholars, the scholars who were reunited with Cui Yan before, after being broken up by their father, there is a trend of uniting around Tian Feng, if it weren't for Cheng Yu's threat, some people didn't dare to stand in line rashly, Tian Feng was already full-fledged. ”

Guo Jin understood.

"In this way, my father doesn't plan to let Cheng Lingjun win, nor does he plan to let Tian Servant shoot?"

"That's nature."

Guo Peng nodded: "You must always give them a goal to strive for, otherwise they will have no other goals to strive for, and they will focus on you and my father and son, without the chess pieces that can be used, our father and son will have to fight hand-to-hand in person, in that case, won't the emperor be seen through?"

Cheng Yu can't be allowed to win, and Tian Feng can't be allowed to win, these two people must maintain the status quo, no one can win a big victory, and it's not good for us to let anyone win a big victory, so everyone has to be punished, everyone has to fight, but they can't let them hurt their vitality, otherwise how can they fight? ”

"So, what is my father going to do?"

Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng with some expectation.

Guo Peng thought about it.

"Ah Jin, if you decide, what would you do? You have a very clear understanding of the functions and powers of all positions in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and you also understand the causes and consequences of this matter.

The father can tell you that the father's decision is to support Tian Feng's idea, and when the time is ripe in the future, he will extend the Grand Canal to Jizhou, not to support Tian Feng, but because the father believes that extending the Grand Canal to Jizhou will be beneficial to the people of Hebei. ”

Guo Peng, in turn, looked at Guo Jin with expectant eyes: "What can be done to punish the illegal acts of both sides on the premise of maintaining such a decision, but not to let the balance between the two sides collapse." ”

Is this the real test?

Guo Jin took a deep breath to calm his mood.

He began to think seriously about the causes and consequences of this matter, as well as the figures in the respective groups of the two sides, and what weapons the two sides used, what they relied on, and so on.

Then determine what to do to maintain balance but achieve Guo Peng's goal.

Whether the Grand Canal extends to Jizhou or not is no longer a simple economic issue, but a political issue.

Guo Peng's support for this view will definitely be identified as supporting Tian Feng, which will trigger Cheng Yu's authoritarian crisis, and this is not the situation Guo Peng wants to see.

What should be done to achieve Guo Peng's goal?

Guo Jin paced back and forth in Guo Peng's study, and after thinking about it from a new perspective for a while, he seemed to have come to his own conclusion.

"Father, as far as the son is concerned, this incident itself was caused by Cheng Lingjun, Cheng Lingjun thought that Tian Servant Shot was going to compete with him for power, so he decided to fight Tian Servant, defeat him, and maintain Cheng Lingjun's own status, so in this matter, Cheng Lingjun was the first person to make mistakes."

Guo Jin gave a big premise.

Guo Peng nodded.

"You're right, if Cheng Yu didn't care too much about power and was suspicious, there would not be this turmoil, or rather, it wouldn't happen now."

"What my father said is very true."

Guo Jin opened his mouth and said: "At the end of the day, my son found that he was just worried or afraid, so that Cheng Lingjun would not force Tian Servant to shoot to this point, and would not force Tian Servant to shoot desperately and had to fight back against Cheng Lingjun."

If Cheng Lingjun's power is not so huge, this matter will definitely not develop to this point, if you really want to talk about it, Cheng Lingjun is too greedy for power, and his power is too heavy, which makes Tian Fujun feel afraid. ”

"Oh? So you think it's time to attack Cheng Yu first? ”

Guo Peng hooked the corners of his mouth with interest: "Go on." ”

"Yes."

With Guo Peng's encouragement, Guo Jin became more confident.

The son thought that Cheng Lingjun's power was too great, as his father said, if Cheng Lingjun defeated Tian Fu, then there would be no one in Shangshutai who could balance Cheng Lingjun.

In this way, the situation in Shangshutai will get out of control, and Cheng Lingjun's prestige will rise sharply and be deep-rooted, this is not a situation that his father wants to see, so his son suggested that Cheng Lingjun be removed from the power to manage the ministry. ”

Guo Jin gave his own advice.
