Mr. Guo personally destroyed the group of scholars who were maintained by blood and completely drove them into the abyss.

Then, he personally built a group of imperial examination bureaucrats that were far stronger and terrifying than the scholars as the foundation of his rule.

He needs people to govern his country, he is not a superman, and he cannot govern the entire country alone.

The two evils are the least of the right, and all he can do is choose the imperial examination bureaucratic group.

And within the current productivity and the limitations of the times, he has no other way to carry out a deeper reform.

This time, he could not find a replacement.

He can only find competitors, suppress this group with a competitive model, and be alert.

Otherwise, this group will corrupt and degenerate at an unimaginable rate.

Spouses must not be missed, eunuchs must not be missed.

This is the emperor's right-hand man, specifically targeting the imperial examination bureaucrats, and they are always ready to kill them, clean the buckets, and avoid dirty water deposits.

Children in the training camp must not be missing.

They have been instilled with the concept of the country and the people since childhood, and are an alternative to the imperial examination bureaucrats. No matter how long they will be assimilated, they are ultimately a force.

Apart from this, Mr. Guo has no other way. He has no other way to deal with corruption and the loss of control of the imperial examination bureaucrats.

He saw the future of the Wei Empire and the chaotic future, and he could already see the future of the Wei Empire at a glance.

However, he had no more ways. As an emperor, he had already taken the road to the extreme and continued to move forward unless Mr. Guo stopped being an emperor, but that was just paving the way for greater chaos.

As the emperor, his path still came to an end.

However, if we want the Wei Empire to continue and prevent the Huaxia people from sinking, we will not have any solutions.

Go out.

When all internal methods fail, going out is the only way to transfer the contradictions outward. It is probably the killing move that the Wei Empire is most likely to use when it encounters a serious social crisis in the future.

This is the last way Guo left for the Wei Empire and the Huaxia people.

Establishing relationships with the Roman Empire and sending people to sea was the most correct thing that Mr. Guo thought he would do after becoming the emperor.

The rest are all about picking up people's wisdom. Nothing can be changed in the foreseeable future, and the Wei Empire will eventually be destroyed.

Only by going out can we change some things, change the future, and allow the Chinese people to embark on an unconceived path.

Going out, you must go out, and you must go out no matter what.

Guo Peng felt that even when he was about to die, facing the political situation that he could not change, the last words he left to Guo Jin were all these three words [Go out].

Going out, looking out, and looking further away is where hope lies. In this way, even if the Wei Empire declines, collapses, and is ended, the Chinese people will not sink.

Because they still have stars and seas.

In addition, Guo Peng knew that there would be no way to change it in another thousand years, two thousand years, or three thousand years.

At the end of the twelve years of Yande, Guo Peng led his team again and took his family to the hot spring palace outside Luoyang City.

Everything seems to have not changed. If anyone is missing or who is missing, it seems that the atmosphere here cannot be strange - as long as Guo Peng is still there.

Take a bath with the children, talk with them, do a little bit of father's responsibilities, etc.

During this rare holiday of the year, Guo Peng is more like a father than ever before.

Not just an emperor.

Guo Jun was sent out to participate in the locust control cause in Guanzhong. He did a lot of work and was very busy. He could reunite with his family all year round, which was a five-day holiday.

He hurried back from Guanzhong and participated in his family's hot spring trip. This mode has been like this for many years.

The reunion every year is similar, with fewer people at every level.

This year is different.

In previous years, Guo Peng had never been with him alone.

This time, Guo Peng got along with him alone.

As a father, I lived alone with him in the courtyard of the Hot Spring Leave the Palace.

"Ajun, you are twenty-seven years old this year?"

"Yes, I didn't expect my father to remember his son's age."

Guo Peng took Guo Jun to walk in the villa.

It snowed heavily last night. Today, some snow accumulated in the courtyard, and the scenery looked good.

Guo Peng smiled bitterly a few times.

"Being a father is not a good father, but he will not even forget the birthdays and ages of his children. This is something that can be remembered by the father."

"My son doesn't mean that."

Guo Jun shook his head.

"But these years, every birthday, I work in Guanzhong. I am not allowed to return to Luoyang during the holidays to thank my parents, which makes my son feel very regretful."

"That's how..."

Guo Peng sighed: "For you brothers, you have deep expectations for your father. You can make real achievements in Guanzhong. This is something that makes you happy for your father. Your brother has grown up and you have grown up, and you are very happy for your father."

"Thank you, my father."

Guo Jun didn't know why Guo Peng suddenly mentioned these things and talked to him alone.

Is there anything important?

For me, there is nothing more important than what is related to being a prince.

And this point has been understood very thoroughly since Guo Jun became sensible.

Nominally, he was the emperor's legitimate son and had the right to inherit the throne, but he knew better that as the second son, he did not have this power, only his brother and eldest son Guo Jin were the heir to the throne.

Because of the order of births, he was five years younger than his brother, so he could only be a prince, not a prince.

Unless Guo Jin is gone.

This society and this empire pays attention to the system of inheritance of the eldest son, and his father even implemented the system of inheritance of the eldest son to the extreme, so that others would not have the slightest desire to covet.

The eldest son can have the richest inheritance - as long as he does not make mistakes, he will not lose his status as the eldest son.

Other children can only get some insignificant scraps.

This is undoubtedly cruel.

For the official family, the most important legacy is the political legacy of being a father.

The political legacy accumulated by my father's ups and downs in the officialdom throughout his life, his political connections, the political context of relatives and friends, etc., are the most important legacy.

And these belong to the eldest son, and the rest of the children can only get money - they have to share with the eldest son.

The eldest son can get all this, but they cannot. This is the core of the feudal etiquette system.

If it is attached to the Guo family and the royal family, that is, as a father, Guo Peng's most important legacy - the throne and power, belongs to Guo Jin and not to any other child, including Guo Jun.

They can only get some insignificant scraps, such as wealth, a future that can be safe from food and clothing, and then surrender to their elder brothers and become subjects under their elder brother's rule.

From then on, they were no longer simple brothers, but also monarchs and ministers.

The king and his subjects are greater than brothers.

They can only live under the shadow of their brothers for the rest of their lives.

Guo Jun is very clear about these principles.

Although he and Guo Jin's mother are the closest brothers, it is also an unchangeable fact.

Unless Guo Jin commits an unforgivable sin, according to the rank inheritance system, his second son will automatically become the eldest son and the first candidate for the throne.

It's just that this is impossible.

Guo Jin is very outstanding, very outstanding, and has done a very good job in all aspects, which has won Guo Peng's trust.

Guo Peng treats Guo Jin better than any brother and sister.

Guo Jin can spend the longest time with his father, serve him and receive teachings by his side. This is his treatment that belongs to him, and other brothers and sisters should not think about it at all.

Those younger brothers and sisters may not meet Guo Peng many times a year.

Guo Peng really may not remember their birthdays and ages.

Guo Jun speculated so much.

He was not without complaints, and he was not without disgust for all this.

He had imagined more than once what would change if he was the eldest son.

The more I imagined this way, the more I hated the system of inheritance of the eldest son, and the more I became envious and jealous of Guo Jin.

Only by staying away from the court, away from Luoyang, and spreading your sweat and youth on the land of Guanzhong can he feel a little better and make him feel that he is needed.

Why does this system of determining heirs based on the order of births only?

Guo Jun didn't understand, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
