After the trend of folk history research began, many people felt that the current situation was the same as the era of King Wuling of Zhao and King Huiwen of Zhao.

A strong father with strong military achievements and a son who was helped to power.

They felt that Guo Peng was doing this to cultivate King Huiwen of Zhao, and he himself was the Zhao Zhufu who voluntarily gave up his power.

The strong monarch with no physical problems suddenly abdicated and gave the throne to his son. Will the ministers really assist the new monarch wholeheartedly without nostalgia for the old monarch?

With the lessons learned from the past, these things are really hard to say.

Guo Peng's prestige is too high, and he promoted all his ministers and generals, and even the entire political system of Wei State was created by him.

Even if political status and political power are given up, political prestige cannot be eliminated in a short while.

If something goes wrong then, Guo Peng shouts, who do you listen to?

Rumors spread very quickly, and soon this statement spread in Luoyang.

Many knowledgeable people thought that this was a very reasonable thing after hearing this. They felt that Guo Peng's abdication was an unwise choice and might cause civil strife in Wei.

This is too dangerous.

But the abdication was right in front of them, and they could not stop them, so they were worried and sighed.

It cannot be said that what they were thinking was unreasonable. This matter was quickly introduced to the palace and was learned by Chen Lin, who was in charge of public opinion and thought.

Chen Lin entered the palace worriedly and urgently visited Guo Peng, telling Guo Peng about the rumors spreading in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City.

"Many remarks are worried that such a thing will happen. They think that His Majesty's abdication is a way to cause chaos. They think that His Majesty should not do this and should continue to be the emperor."

"Is there only concerns, no supportive remarks?"

Guo Peng asked.

"Yes, it would be better to say that there are quite a lot of people who support Your Majesty's move and the prince's succession to the throne. They also have some remarks, thinking that Your Majesty really wants to abdicate, because some people think too much about their mentality and do not understand Your Majesty's good intentions.

At present, these two groups of people are having a fierce debate. I think the court should respond, otherwise, people may mistakenly think that the will of the court and His Majesty are not firm, and there is still room for reversal in this matter."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Their concerns are not unreasonable, and such things did happen. Later, Zhao Zhufu regretted it himself, feeling that the politics of the Two Kings he longed for was not realized and he lost his real power, so he was very disappointed.

He decided to use his other son to compete for the throne with King Huiwen to check and balance each other, so that he could return to the supreme position and regain power. Of course, this is the matter that these people are worried about.

They were worried that I was just tired for a moment, so they wanted to give up the throne. In the future, they would have to retake the throne, which led to the instability of the political situation of Wei State and repeat the mistakes of Zhufu Zhao. They thought a lot and thoroughly."

Guo Peng didn't seem to care.

"As long as this kind of thing becomes a certain fact, there is no problem. People are worried that I will take back my power and position and cause a political crisis, but I will not do so."

"But Your Majesty, people's words are terrifying. If such rumors spread, how should the ministers guess? Will this continue to affect the new king? The new king's status is unstable, and it is precisely when he needs to hold the throne firmly."

Chen Lin’s concerns were not unreasonable. On the day she was about to abdicate, such suspicion reached its peak.

This is not a good thing for Guo Jin, and it may affect his ascension to the throne and governance.

Guo Peng was silent for a while.

He laid a good foundation for Guo Jin's rise to power, laid a foundation for his kindness, virtuousness and a certain level of hope for people. It can be said that his chance of ascending the throne was much better than that of most successors.

But Guo Peng's own prestige is really too great.

The emperor's prestige is of course a good thing for his rule, but if it is put into the matter of inheritance of power, it is obviously not a good thing, and it poses great threat to the heirs.

Especially not death, but abdication.

It is natural for people to suddenly retreat to the second line to change to a new ruler, and people feel confused and even fearful, and he ignores this.

He had to do something to calm people's doubts and fears, so that he could make a good start for Guo Jin's rule.

"Su Yuan, I sent an order from the cabinet to promulgate my order to enthrone my third son Qiong as the monarch of Nanyue, and make it public to the entire court so that everyone in Luoyang can know."

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, immediately took the order, and then hurriedly ran out.

Chen Lin, who was standing aside, understood what Guo Peng wanted to do.

The way Zhao's father retakes the throne is to support Gongzizhang to fight against King Huiwen, and use the conflict between Gongzizhang and King Huiwen to provoke internal struggles between brothers, so that he can become an arbitrator.

Then further regain the supreme power and reign over the world.

Zhao Zhufu felt that he could regain power by doing so. At that time, he no longer regarded King Huiwen as his son, but as his political enemy.

He regarded his son as his political enemy, used his prestige and means to fight against his son, tried to take back his power, continued to be King Zhao, and continued to do whatever he wanted.

This is the change of father-son relationship under power conflicts.

But there is nothing we can do about this. Who made him only 46 years old and in good health at that time?

It is normal to regret.

Guo Peng had sent his second son Guo Jun out of Wei before, and now he has once again announced that he would grant his third son Guo Qiong the king of Nanyue, and said that he would send him out of Wei as well. This is the most obvious statement.

Guo Jun and Guo Qiong are the legitimate brothers of Guo Jin's mother and the second and third heirs to the throne.

If they are gone, the remaining sons will be illegitimate sons, and they will not be able to compete for power with Guo Jin, the eldest son.

The legitimate son and the legitimate son can still compete with each other because they are both legitimate sons and have the possibility of support from the mother clan and bloodlines. The legitimate son's advantage is that the concubine's son cannot compete with.

Yuan Shao was adopted, but he was still looked down upon by Yuan Shu, who was born as a legitimate son.

Therefore, sending all the legitimate sons out has created a certain fact. No legitimate son can threaten Guo Jin's status, nor will it be a help for Guo Peng to regret in the future.

This is the most obvious statement.

Mr. Guo knew what the ministers and the people were worried about and thought what would happen in the future, but he would not do so. He would not be King Wuling of Zhao.

Once this news is announced, anyone will understand why Guo Peng did this.

Chen Lin was overjoyed and immediately understood the reason why Guo Peng did this. He immediately went back to launch this public opinion offensive, laying the foundation for Guo Jin's successful ascension to the throne.

Chen Lin acted very quickly and immediately led the royal literati group to write articles and publish messages, use newspapers as weapons, publish articles, and refute those circulating rumors.

Then there was news that Guo Peng had already enfeoffed all his sons.

Public opinion refutation can only be said to be an official attitude, but Guo Peng's act of excluding his third son Guo Qiong is the best annotation of his attitude.

When looking at a person, you don’t have to listen to what he says, but what he does.

Without saying a word, Guo Peng enfeoffed both legitimate sons.

One was sealed to India and the other was sealed to Indonesia. They were all places that could not be reached within three months from Luoyang. The location was quite far away, and many people even didn't know where these two places were.

Is there any problem with such a statement?

Obviously there is no more.

Guo Peng's statement temporarily dispelled people's doubts and allowed this abdication ceremony to be carried out normally.

Since the morning of December 30, Guo Jin has been in full mood and devoted himself to work.

His most trusted right-hand men are now serving him, and his most trusted helper Lu Yi always follows him and deals with all emergencies for him.

When the public opinion crisis broke out before, Lu Yi was by his side and helped him solve his doubts.

"Didn't my father change his mind, right?"

"Who is spreading such rumors?"

"I will never spare them! I must find out and deal with them hard!"

Guo Jin was panting, anxious, unstable, and very angry.

As he approached the throne, he began to feel restless, restless, and was extremely entangled.

No matter how good the cultivation is, no matter how rich the knowledge is, it cannot suppress the worries and fears at this moment.

It was all up to Lu Zheng to persuade him.

"Since Your Majesty makes such a decision, he must have thought it through carefully and will never be shaken by some rumors. Your Majesty will definitely take corresponding measures. Please do not worry, Mr.."

"Your Majesty always says that he will never change his will just because of some remarks. Besides, the preparations for the throne ceremony are almost done. Isn't it ridiculous to change it at this time?"

"You have no jokes."

Lu Yi kept persuading and appeaseing Guo Jin. Finally, Guo Jin waited until Guo Peng issued the edict.

Guo Qiong was publicly announced as Duke and the monarch of Nanyue. He was about to be arranged to be enfeoffed at the location of the Principality of Nanyue and lead the army to open up the fining state without posing any threat to Guo Jin.

Guo Jin finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Both legitimate younger brothers will be granted the title of foreign throne, so as the eldest son, he will not be in danger.

The remaining three younger brothers are all concubines, and the concubines cannot compete for power with him, who is the eldest son.

"Boyan, I always thought I was very frank in treating the throne, but when things came to an end, I realized that I was really worried and very afraid that this position would not belong to me."

"After my father mentioned it to me, I dreamed countless times that I was sitting on the throne."

"But sometimes, I dreamed that all this was fake and I had nothing left. I was so scared that I woke up from the dream. Looking around, I realized that it was a dream just now."

"I'm really scared."
