1182 Cao Cao sold Guo Yang without hesitation
Guo Yang seemed a little dissatisfied with the reward Guo Peng gave at that time.
It seems that he is a little bit complaining about Guo Peng's stingy and unceremonious behavior.
Even Yang was not very happy, and felt that Guo Peng was too harsh on his brothers.
Foreign ministers all had fiefs of three or four thousand and more land, but the rewards of their brothers' kings were not as good as those of other marquis.
Guo Peng was very angry.
"I have not made any achievements and only know how to waste my time when eating, drinking, having fun, and having sex. What else do you want? The fiefs and fiefs of other people are exchanged for their lives! What about you? What did you do?"
Guo Peng shouted at Guo Yang for a while, scared Guo Yang away and shocked Yang.
The mother and son dare not grin with Guo Peng.
This matter was settled.
But this time, the officials Cao Cao sent to review unexpectedly found that the land belonging to Zhao Wanghuangzhuang seemed to be not limited to three thousand acres.
There are more and more lands that are delivering benefits to King Zhao’s manor.
While they were checking, they found that in addition to these 3,000 acres of land, there were at least thousands of acres of land in the imperial court.
When they were planning to further verify, they were beaten and kicked by a group of black-clad thugs who suddenly broke in, and then took away the land account, followed by a very conventional fire incident.
The house where the account books and land records were piled up in the Zhao Wang Huangfu caught fire, and all the accounts were burned to ashes by a fire, and nothing was left.
After this incident happened, Cao Cao took great attention. Cao Cao felt something was wrong and prepared to investigate it himself.
As a result, Guo Yang found Cao Cao himself, hoping that Cao Cao could help him hide this matter.
He does have a considerable amount of private land in Zhaojun, claiming that he [buyed] through various means.
But Cao Cao already knew what the actual situation was.
"I would like to ask Mr. Cao to help me. Don't let my brother know about this. If I let my brother know about this, I... Mr. Cao, please!"
Guo Yang ordered someone to bring a box of 500 kilograms of gold to give to Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could give him a high position and let him go.
Cao Cao was silent for a while.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, you have your own way."
Cao Cao smiled and accepted Guo Yang's bribe.
Then he turned around and reported this to Guo Peng secretly and betrayed Guo Yang.
If it were someone else, Cao Cao would probably have to think a little about the pros and cons of this matter and weigh it a little, but if it were Guo Yang, Cao Cao would not hesitate at all.
No one knows better what the situation of the Guo brothers is like than the people of the Xiahou family of Cao.
Simply put, Guo Peng never regarded Guo Yang as a brother, but instead despised him and hated him.
Guo Peng's biological mother died very early. When he was five years old, Guo Dan married another Yang Xuxian and gave birth to Guo Yang when Guo Peng was six years old.
Since then, Yang has been treating Guo Peng coldly and playing with cold violence. Because Guo Peng cannot do anything, he often speaks coldly and sarcastically, and there is a lot of thoughts in his words that Guo Shan wants to depose the eldest son and establish the young.
But what about Guo Peng’s ordinary children?
A generation of emperors must have been extraordinary when they were young. The devastated Guo family in Qiao County at that time became different because of the existence of Guo Peng.
Guo Peng was mingled with Cao Cao at the age of eight, and the courage he showed made Cao Cao appreciate it.
At that time, Cao Cao often put Guo Peng on his horse and shared a horse with him. He almost regarded him as his biological brother, was very friendly to him and optimistic about his future.
Cao Cao also heard about Yang's destruction and had no good impression of such a woman who wanted to make the head of the family depose the eldest son and establish the young.
Yang also mistakenly estimated the status of Guo Peng, the eldest son in Guo Dan's heart, and Guo Peng's own deep scheming. Unexpectedly, the Guo father and son were ambitious to break through the predicament, and Guo Peng's heart was far beyond normal people.
So when Guo Peng was twelve years old, Yang was joined forces by his father and son.
Guo Peng created a project to chisel ice fishing, and told Guo Shan, but did not tell Yang that Yang was voluntarily involved in the project, and then became a disgraceful stepmother, in an embarrassing situation.
In fact, she is not glorious, but at least she has the title of a legitimate mother, so no matter what benefits Guo Peng has, she will always have her share.
Later, as Guo Peng's status and power rose, her status also rose. Now, relying on Guo Peng's power, she has become the Supreme Queen and the most noble woman in the country.
It is truly a blessing for tool people to have tools, and she also enjoyed the treatment of being famous for history.
Logically speaking, she should be very satisfied and even grateful to Guo Peng.
There is also Guo Yang, who has not achieved success and can do nothing but eat, drink and have fun. He knows how to enjoy himself all day long. He has a lot of wives and concubines, and has five or six children with his concubines. He has become the only king of the Wei Empire through his relationship with Guo Peng. Isn’t this the most gratifying thing?
What else does he want?
But everyone knows that Guo Yang doesn’t look like the same father as Guo Peng.
He is useless and ignorant. He once did things that he could not pay for his meals by relying on the status of the lords of Guo Peng, Qing and Yanzhou. It was so low that he had reached the extreme.
What's the money your brother has to pay for?
Everyone doesn't care about Guo Peng's younger brother because he is Guo Peng's younger brother, but just gives Guo Peng a face.
However, Guo Peng himself has repeatedly shown that he doesn't care about his younger brother at all, and treats Guo Yang very perfunctorily.
Guo Peng once arranged a position for him to do something small and had the idea of giving him a little help, but soon Guo Yang couldn't stand the pain and went home and stopped doing it, so Guo Peng didn't care.
After becoming emperor, he was granted a title of King Zhao to Guo Yang due to blood relationships, and gave him thousands of acres of land and a generous salary and directly sent him away. He was out of sight and was not upset, so he kept staying in his residence and not allowed to run around.
Guo Yang probably knew that his emperor brother never liked him, so he restrained himself a lot and secretly lived his luxurious life without teasing Guo Peng.
Everything seems to be harmonious.
But Cao Cao did not expect that Guo Yang would secretly use his identity as King Zhao to think about the land in Zhao County.
According to the preliminary investigation results, the extra land he had is inseparable from the military farms, and many signs indicate that the superior bureaucrats were not ignorant of this, so the then Zhao County Governor and Jizhou Governor were definitely not innocent.
But because the evidence was destroyed, the investigation was incomplete.
However, Cao Cao knew that Guo Peng was very disgusted with this younger brother, and did not care about his situation, or even taught him a lesson, so it was definitely not a bad thing to tell Guo Peng about this matter, and he could also make a lot of impression points.
So Cao Cao sold Guo Yang without hesitation, and also told Guo Peng about Guo Yang bribing him.
The five hundred kilograms of gold were naturally borrowed flowers to offer to Guo Peng.
Cao Cao added fire and repeated what Guo Yang did and said to Guo Peng, telling the fact that Guo Yang was suspected of annexing land in Jizhou, and asked Guo Peng to sage the ruling.
Guo Peng was furious and broke his tea bowl on the spot. He immediately ordered Su Yuan to mobilize the men of the inner court, Cao Cao mobilized the men of Qingzhang team, and the two sides formed a joint investigation team and went to Zhaojun, Jizhou to investigate the matter clearly with the emperor's order.
Whether it is the governor of Zhao County or the governor of Jizhou, no matter who it is, as long as it is involved, check it out for me clearly!
The royal family must ensure that it is clean when clearing the land. Over the years, Guo Peng has also strictly regulated the royal family. Judging from the current results of clearing the land, this kind of restraint is still effective.
But he didn't expect that Guo Yang, the coward, was actually causing trouble in secret, and he didn't let him know.
