After several political storms and the coups of the party, Guo cleaned up and suppressed a large number of people who were threatening their power, and gradually achieved their goals.

He gradually expanded the emperor's voice within the scope of justice, personnel and administration, and gradually overwhelmed the ministers, gained the upper hand, and became the actual master.

His power continued to expand, which was reflected in the fact that the departments of the Shangshutai were increasingly obeying the emperor's orders instead of obeying the orders of Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe.

Cheng Yu and Tian Feng's prime minister's power has been plundered by Guo, and in fact he can no longer be regarded as prime minister.

Before the Luoyang Incident, Guo had a great say in terms of personnel and administration, and no one could challenge him. Judicial power was completely controlled by him.

After the Luoyang Incident, he finally had his control over the human rights and administrative power.

Anyone and group who can hold power with him has been tamed, suppressed, or killed by him, and he has completed his complete control of the central court.

At this point, he has already mastered all the power that an emperor can possess.

He had successfully completed centralization, broken the political structure of the Eastern Han Dynasty, developed the imperial power to a complete body, and embarked on an unconceived path.

It was not until this moment that Emperor Wei, Guo Peng, finally got rid of the shadow of the times, got rid of the haze of the Emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, cleared the clouds and saw the sun, and opened up his own path.

He can straighten his back and declare to the outside world.

He is a real emperor.

A true emperor who can be compared with a true emperor like Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han who truly possesses the power of life and death that makes the ministers afraid.

At the same time, the scholars of Jingzhou who were hiding in the Jingzhou Academy Hall were also lucky to preserve their vitality relatively intact.

Therefore, the scholars in Jingzhou became the most complete group preserved in the scholars in the Tianxia group after the Luoyang Catastrophe.

So in this imperial examination, the scholars of Jingzhou shined, not only winning the championship, but also occupying a considerable proportion.

These latecomers are not the same as Yande's power group eight years ago.

Even when Zhang Zhao and Xu Jing served as the high position of Shangshu, scholars from traditionally disadvantaged areas could not truly surpass the strong founding group of Qing, Yan and Ji prefectures.

But this wave really hit the lifeblood of the Founding Group.

Under Guo's forced force, the founding group was transformed from the identity of the scholars to the identity of the opposing ones. The interests of both parties were completely inconsistent and their values ​​were torn apart.

This caused an extremely terrible crack between bureaucrats and young scholars who had not yet become officials, and could not be bridged. The scholars no longer trusted the high-ranking officials of the dynasty, and even hated the high-ranking officials of the dynasty, thinking that they were all the emperor's dogs.

The current high-ranking officials have no foundation for everyone to look for. They are all subordinates tamed by the emperor, rather than [scholar leaders] who can argue with the emperor.

Despite this, this does not mean that the scholars in Jingzhou are about to rise, replace the scholars in Qingyan and Jizhou, and become the next reincarnation holder.

If there were no imperial examinations, perhaps that was the case.

But since the imperial examination was born, all this is unlikely.

After all, scholars can no longer monopolize the advancement level and the qualifications to be officials. The number of them is rare. Once the number of books brought by printing is booming, it doesn't take long, and the number of poor families and scholars will completely surpass the number of scholars.

Scholars can never become mainstream again.

What this imperial examination brought to them was just the afterglow of the sunset.

Looking at the afterglow of the sunset, Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand and pointed the future to him.

"A Jin, have you seen it? The emperor today is the real emperor. The emperor who holds all power is the real emperor. The financial power, military power, human power, regime power, judicial power, and all power are in the hands of the father. This is the emperor.

The foundation of the founding heroes was dug up for their father. They now only have status and positions, but no power. The foundation of the scholars was also dug up for their father. They only had the afterglow of the sunset and had no future. At this moment, all forces that could oppose their father were at their weakest time.

At this time, the emperor can do whatever he wants and do whatever he wants, but what you have to do must be something that can consolidate the imperial power and cannot act recklessly, otherwise, the situation will be broken soon."

Guo Jin looked at the future with a thrill of heart, but was confused by Guo Peng's words.

"My father is already a real emperor. The world is so great that there is no force to fight against his father. His father holds the power of life and death. Who else can fight against such a father?"

"some."

Guo Peng shook his head: "The current power of the father is also temporary, not permanent. He suppressed scholars and eliminated scholars. However, although scholars were eliminated, officials must always exist. There is a fundamental difference between the imperial examination and the imperial examination, but those selected are all officials.

An emperor cannot govern the country alone, so he must divide the power. The difference between a real emperor and a puppet emperor lies in whether the power can be taken back after it is divided. If you give it back, it will be the real emperor. If you give it back, it will not be the puppet emperor.

Officials are always a large group, always smart, excellent, and the dragon among people, and the group of the best and elite. How could it be easier for the emperor, with only one person, to deal with the bureaucrats of the entire large group?"

Guo Jin understood what Guo Peng meant.

"So, the emperor needs an assistant."

"Yes, A Jin, the emperor needs an assistant, where is that emperor's assistant?"

"Linzi Camp, and the inner court."

Guo Jin gave a clear answer.

"Yes, it's Linzi Camp and the Neijing."

Guo Peng nodded: "Making good use of Linzi Camp and the inner court is the most important thing to do in consolidating imperial power in the future. Scholars are destined to decline, and officials will reintegrate into a whole. No matter how they split them, they will always be united when facing imperial power.

At this time, only spies have the same mind as eunuchs and emperors, especially eunuchs. They have no descendants and power, and they cannot survive without relying on the emperor, and they cannot leave their gains to their descendants. Therefore, eunuchs are trustworthy than any minister.

But in order to better control eunuchs and spies, A Jin, mastering the army is the most important thing. This time, the scholars collectively forced the palace to force the palace. If they had not used the army for their father, they would not have been able to control the situation so quickly. As long as the emperor controls the army, everything is possible."

Guo Jin nodded repeatedly.

"If you master the army, you can turn over the table. The ministers were terrified and dared not act rashly. Most of the things the emperor wanted to do could be done. Therefore, my father designed and controlled the army more, and even established martial arts and martial arts, and personally served as the master of martial arts to control the army.

In addition to the army, eunuchs and spies were supplemented with confrontation with ministers, fighting for power, and diverting attention, so that the emperor was high and the ministers could not directly contact the emperor, so they were afraid of the emperor, so the imperial power was demonstrated and promoted."

Guo Peng patted Guo Jin's shoulder with great satisfaction, with a smile on his face.

"No, not bad, Han Feizi, you have understood the enlightenment that the emperor should have. But this is not enough. Understanding Han Feizi will allow you to learn how to deal with the ministers in the central government, but what about the local area? In the local area, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the subjects in the local area do not face you directly, how should you govern the local area?"

Guo Peng raised a question.

Guo Jin did not hesitate.
