Cheng Yu lowered his head, thought about what Guo Peng said, and felt heavy.

He knew that what Guo Peng was right.

The number of corrupt officials has decreased, not because they have become law-abiding, but because they are afraid.

They are afraid of themselves and Guo Peng behind them. As long as they are not around, they will no longer be afraid.

At that time, they will continue to do whatever they want and make the people.

All the people's wealth and paste were plundered, and they were extravagant and wanted to satisfy them only.

Will there be people like himself and Guo Peng among the descendants of emperors and ministers?

Cheng Yu didn't know.

But he felt that there was no such possibility.

So he was silent for a long time.

Then he raised his head and looked at Guo Peng.

"Your Majesty, this full meal has been eaten by all the people in the world for twenty years. If anyone wants to make them unable to eat, they probably cannot accept it. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has not passed for long, and no one dares to forget it."

"Really?"

Guo Peng laughed: "Why do I think that since I pacified the last Yellow Turban Army, someone has forgotten why the Yellow Turban Army rebelled? Zhongde, they have forgotten it for a long time and don't remember it at all. If I remember, why did I need to kill so many people?"

“…”

Cheng Yu had nothing to say about this.

Some people have such a poor memory. If they don’t die, they can’t remember what it means to be [Is there any kind of king, prince, general, and minister]?

But it's really time to come, and it's meaningless to say this.

Everything is doomed, the Wei Kingdom is doomed to fall and disappear into the dust of history.

Cheng Yu discovered that Guo Peng seemed to have confirmed that Wei Guohui would be heading for such an ending, and he had long known that all this was irreversible.

But why did he still do this?

As he said, he just wanted people to eat more days of full meals?

Cheng Yu looked at Guo Peng with some confusion.

But Guo Peng seemed to have seen through everything, and became a little relaxed, with a smile on his face.

The confusion and worry just now were like a performance.

"Zhongde, you just asked me if I was worried that the prince would deviate from my policies, and whether I would be worried that the descendants would deviate from my policies, which would make the Wei State messy. Now I can give you a clear answer."

Guo Peng shook his head with a smile.

"I'm not worried, I'm not worried at all. If someone forgets why Zhang Jiao can instigate believers in the world to rebel at the same time, then I think another Zhang Jiao will appear and remind him of it again.

Do kings, princes, generals and ministers have a seed? Zhongde, is kings, princes, generals and ministers have a seed? I, Guo Peng, were there nothing unusual when I was born, there were no seventy-two black spots on my thighs, and there were no meteorites falling from the sky. I said that I was suitable to be an emperor.

There is no lightning, thunder, storm, no earth shaking, huge waves, and huge waves send me from the ground to this world from the water. There is nothing, I was born normally.

I became the emperor by strength. Since I became the emperor by strength, then if someone can also overthrow the Wei Kingdom by strength, what's wrong?

If my descendants forget that letting the people have enough food is the most important thing they should do, or they can't do it at all, then the Wei Kingdom should perish and my descendants should die from shame!”

Cheng Yu couldn't believe that this sentence was said by a founding emperor.

He could not believe that a founding emperor would say such words as his country should perish.

Is this what a normal emperor should say?

Shouldn't you think about how to make your country last forever?

Cheng Yu was stunned.

But Guo Peng is still talking.

"Zhongde, if one day Wei State let its people not have enough food, I will take the lead in rebelling. I will call on everyone in the world to overthrow this evil court.

The ruler who cannot make everyone eat a full meal is not worthy of being arrogant! He should be pushed off the stage, and everyone stomped his head hard and stomped him into the soil!

You cannot let all people have enough food, you cannot let all people live and work in peace, and you cannot protect China's China as stable as Mount Tai. Do you still have the right to be above you? Bah! Everyone should rise up and destroy him!"

As he said this, Cheng Yu found that the emperor in front of him seemed to be happy.

He seemed to have returned to that kind of energetic age, his eyes were full of yearning for the future.

Cheng Yu remembered the days when Guo Peng was in his twenties, when he had just met Guo Peng. At that time, Guo Peng was so energetic, as if nothing could stop him.

He is so brave and so fearless.

Cheng Yu had never felt that no one understood Guo Peng better than him, but now, he found that he could not understand the emperor in front of him.

Why do people want their country to last forever? Just like you are looking forward to the demise of your country?

Can you overthrow a country you have built by yourself?

Why did Your Majesty rebel?

"Zhongde, I realized that I don't seem to like governing a country so much, and I don't like being an emperor so much. What I like... is rebellion."

Guo Peng suddenly burst into laughter.

The sound was so loud that even Su Yuan, who was standing outside guarding the palace gate, could hear it.

Why did the emperor laugh?

Su Yuan didn't know.

Cheng Yu didn't know either.

But the emperor laughed like that, as if he wanted to laugh out loud all the emotions that had not laughed out for thirteen years in one breath.

Finally laughed enough, Guo Peng took a breath and took a rest for a while.

Then, Guo Peng seemed to think of something interesting and spoke again.

"Zhongde, before my father died, he said that he regretted choosing me to inherit the family business, regretted letting me marry Cao, regret letting me go to Luoyang to fight for power and profit, so he was so unaware that he actually created the imperial business. He regretted that he felt that doing so would cause the Guo family to suffer a catastrophe.

Because I killed too many people, many people are afraid of me, hate me, and want me to die. Once I die, my descendants will suffer. Once my dynasty is destroyed, my descendants will be killed or something. Do you think this is strange?

Is the destruction of the dynasty because the founding emperor killed too many illegal officials? When I established the imperial career, I killed more people, so why did I call me the emperor? I didn’t agree to him, so I killed another group of people for him to show him.”

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise.

You asked me to review the corruption of the military system to kill people for your father?

"You won't believe it?"

Guo Peng looked at Cheng Yu's surprised expression and smiled and said, "How is it possible that I would kill people because of such a thing? My father also said that he shouldn't let me go out so early to seek fame, so that I should let me go out later, so that the Guo family can become a big family that has been around for thousands of years. Do you know how I told him?"

Cheng Yu immediately shook his head, shaking like a rattle.

"I said, that's not OK. I'm the same kind of personality. When I see someone who can't eat enough, I want to rebel. Just like the former man, there are hunger everywhere. I must rebel. As a result, my father was so angry that he wanted to break off the father-son relationship with me.

What is this? I just want everyone to have enough food. I don’t want to see someone starving to death on the roadside without food. I don’t want to see the roadside full of bones anymore.”

Guo Peng paused, as if he wanted to say something again, but he still didn't say it, just shook his head.

"As the emperor, I have done what I can do, and I can't do more. Even if I want to do it, the world will not allow me to do it. No one can understand me, so forget it, I will stop here.

But when I was no longer the emperor, I could do more things. Zhongde, do you know what I will do next? I want to be a teacher, and I want to write all the knowledge of astronomy, geography, and mathematics that I know into textbooks!

I want to pass on all this knowledge to the young people in the school, I want to teach them this, I want them to know this, and then pass on what I have taught, develop, and achieve a science, and pass on it forever!"

Guo Peng opened his arms again: "How high is the sky? How thick is the earth? Why can the land grow food? Where does water come from? Why can people stand on the ground? Why can't they fly to the sky? Why will there be day and night? I have to tell them all this knowledge!"

Guo Peng looked at Cheng Yu again and found that Cheng Yu was like a stone sculpture, and he was unable to speak. He seemed to be completely frightened.

So Guo Peng laughed.

"Zhongde, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

“…”

Cheng Yu reacted and shook his head in confusion: "I don't know."

"That's right! Zhongde, how long can a dynasty last? Two hundred years? Three hundred years? At most four hundred years, not more. If it's a little longer, it's not something I could have expected.

However, knowledge is different from foundation. The foundation will be destroyed, but knowledge will be passed on forever. As people pass on birth, old age, sickness and death forever, more development will be achieved.

By learning this knowledge, you can plant more food, create more farm tools, craft more steel, open up more wasteland, build more water conservancy, and even break certain rules and directly rush to the next era!"

Guo Peng stood up, walked to Cheng Yu, and looked at Cheng Yu's eyes: "Zhongde, doing all this seems to me to be more important than allowing Wei State to continue.

On that day, productivity will develop greatly, the entire country will enter the next era, and there will be major changes. So it doesn’t matter to Wei State, as long as it is still China, what’s wrong?”

"His Majesty……"

Cheng Yu almost thought Guo Peng was crazy about losing his heart.

But it doesn't look like it, because Guo Peng's eyes are shining with brilliance, and he is extremely smart!

He seems to be really describing a possible future.

And in that future, there was no shadow of the Wei Empire he had established himself.

Does he really want the country he built so much to perish?
