Go to rest and build a connection with the resting powers?

Chen Yanghao raised his head unexpectedly.

"Your Majesty means that you must stay in peace and build our intelligence network in peace? But we have successfully established it before, but the war has caused chaos in the personnel. It is not difficult to rebuild it with a little rectification."

Chen Yanghao seemed to think this was not a difficult task.

"No, it's not that simple, Chen Qing."

Guo Jin said: "Before, the intelligence network just took advantage of the opportunity to do business to get information from the merchants who had a relationship with the nobles of Anxi. It is credible, but it is not first-hand information. This time, what I want is first-hand information."

Chen Yanghao thought for a while.

"What your Majesty means is to directly establish a relationship with the nobles of Rest themselves?"

"Yes, a direct relationship."

Guo Jin took a deep breath: "Once upon a time, we all felt that as long as they could trade with us, everything would be fine. But when the rebellion broke out in that country and our country was deeply hurt, I realized that setting up an ambassador and arranging an intelligence network was not enough.

It is important to have contact with their powerful people and have the ability to effectively and reliably affect the resting situation. This is difficult. We were caught off guard without this aspect before. This time, we must learn from our lessons."

Chen Yanghao understood Guo Peng’s thoughts and knew his responsibilities.

"In this way, I understand. I will do what Your Majesty said, but I don't know which powerful man you want to contact? The country is in war and a large number of powerful man are killed by people. The current situation is chaotic and I don't know what the situation is."

Guo Jin nodded.

"So one of the purposes of my asking you to go is to figure out what happened to the Kingdom of Rest in the moment of war, when will it be restored to stability, and who is making the decision."

"I understand, I will not let down Your Majesty's expectations."

"good."

Guo Jin nodded: "I appoint you as the director of the Rest Bureau under Linzi Camp, and lead you to the capable personnel you have personally selected to go to Rest to relieve my doubts."

"I obey the order!"

Shen Yang Hao bowed his head.

Seeing Chen Yanghao leave, Guo Jin did not relax his brows.

He really urgently needed to learn about the current political situation of the Silence Empire.

For example, whether the emperor can still dominate the overall situation.

If Emperor Anxi has lost his honor and ended up in the same position as Emperor Xiaoxian of the former Han Dynasty and the current Shanyang Gong, then who is the land of Anxi now?

Guo Jin needs to know all this, all of this will become the basis for his next move.

The situation facing Guo Jin is deteriorating, and he must take the initiative as soon as possible.

As news of the Liangzhou crisis came, the conservative forces in the entire court were ready to move again.

Faced with the crisis in the northwest, Zao Zhi was heartbroken and could not bear it. He gave Guo Jin three extremely stern expressions to express his firm opposition to Northwest Business.

[The northwest has been in business for a long time. There are many cunning and cunning people among the people. The trend is corrupt. Everyone is proud of the more money and goods, ashamed of the less money and goods, ashamed of successful business, ashamed of hard work, ashamed of not doing production, being lazy and greedy, tax evasion, and being extremely evil!

I think that the stubborn disease in the northwest has already been established, and it is impossible to cure it if it is a heavy medicine and a fierce medicine! I ask that the Northwest Business be dismissed. Except for the imperial commerce in the inner court, the three prefectures in the Western Regions and the two prefectures in Yongliang do business. As long as all private shops are dismissed, all the people will return to the fields, the crisis will be resolved instantly!]

Zao Zhi has completely stood on the opposite side of Northwest Business.

With a sincere heart, he passively led the opposition behind him who had different ulterior motives and demanded a powerful political offensive against Guo Jin.

Zao Zhi had long known that the promoters behind Northwest Business were Guo Peng and Guo Jin. It was dangerous to go against Northwest Business, but he was not afraid.

When Guo Peng was in power, he kept criticizing this policy. Guo Peng had no choice but to ignore him. Now Guo Jin has no choice but to do anything to him, and he cannot ignore him.

He was sitting upright and no one could defeat him. This was his greatest reliance.

And he may not know what kind of monsters and monsters are behind him.

But in his opinion, the Northwest Commerce is the real enemy, the deadly enemy, and the demons and gods behind them are not so urgent and deadly, and can be used for the time being.

It is easy to deal with corruption among officials, but the civil customs are corrupted, and it is over.

Once the simple small peasant society is shaken, the foundation of the entire country will be shaken. It is really hard to say what will happen at that time.

After realizing this, Zao Zhi directly raised his face and started fighting against the emperor, and his attitude of not giving up until he achieved his goal made Guo Jin angry and worried.

Guo Jin was very angry and was very dissatisfied with Zao Zhi's behavior of relying on his seniority to challenge the emperor's authority.

However, the imperial court had a great force against Northwest commerce, and a considerable part of it was not out of interest entanglement, but was just standing with Zao Zhi because of its political thought of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

Although there are many monsters and monsters, it is difficult to distinguish. Like Guo Peng, a political storm is set off to attack the ministers and it is inevitable to expand the attack surface, which is easy to accidentally hurt innocent people.

—

The opposition is not an entire interest group, but it is also diverse. Not to mention the old gentry, new officials from the common people also have opponents in it. They are not related to interests, but just because they hate business and businessmen.

They believed that the emperor's policies showed signs of being separated from the [agriculture is the foundation of the country], and they must be brought back immediately to avoid the worries of overturning.

If the breakthrough cannot be found as soon as possible, this matter will really become a protracted dispute.

Northwest commerce is in weakness, and the vibrant Maritime Silk Trade Road in the entire eastern coastal region will also fall into a certain crisis.

Guo Peng’s strategy of going global will face unprecedentedly serious threats.

In the second year of taking over Guo Peng as the throne and becoming emperor, Guo Jin felt the dilemma of Guo Peng's two trade routes under tremendous pressure.

Even if the sharp murder knife is in hand, even if he holds the power of life and death, facing a person like Zao Zhi, the butcher's knife is not easy to use and cannot scare him.

As the political pressure brought to Guo Jin increased by Zao Zhi and as the progress of the ministers approached, Guo Jin became increasingly unable to bear such a situation and became more and more angry.

It is impossible to continue to ignore it. It is meaningless to stay in the middle school and not post it. Zao Zhi's party did not intend to compromise with the emperor at all, but instead forced the emperor to order the dismissal of the Northwest Business and would not give up until the goal was achieved.

So Guo Jin understood that this economic crisis had triggered a political crisis and faintly provoked the challenge to the imperial power of the ministers who were suppressed by Guo Peng.

This has touched my bottom line.

Zaozhi, this is what you forced me.

Guo Jin decided to tear off the warm disguise, reveal his true face of cruelty and dictatorship, and decided to use the ability to transfer contradictions that can be realized.

Cheng Yu, it's time for you to appear.

If a political storm cannot be launched to strike a full-scale attack, then a storm of integrity will be launched!

Cheng Yu, who has been recuperating for more than a year, is time for him to come back and contribute his remaining energy to the new emperor.

As a knife in Guo Peng's hand, Cheng Yu cooperated with Guo Peng to launch several bloody purges in the late period of Guo Peng's rule, and successfully stood on the opposite side of the ministers, clamped the power in his hands with a fearless spirit, and severely cracked down on corrupt officials.

He enjoyed the feeling of exercising power with pleasure.

For this reason, he had already put everything aside, and even his family members, he didn't care.

Those who are cruel are afraid of being arrogant, those who are arrogant are afraid of being desperate, and those who are desperate are afraid of being desperate are afraid of being killed like Cheng Yu, who doesn’t even care about the lives of his family.

He no longer cares about the life or death of his family and descendants.

On the third day of the sixth month of the second year of Xingyuan, the Sili School Captain Cheng Yu received an imperial edict from the emperor and secretly went to the palace to pay homage to Guo Jin.

Guo Jin gave him face-to-face advice and asked him to start preparing to fan the flames and make trouble.

Cheng Yu, who was old, was overjoyed. His turbid old eyes suddenly shone with shiny eyes, and his figure became agile, as if he had become twenty years younger in an instant.

In the second year of Xingyuan, Cheng Yu was already seventy-six years old.

Apart from Situ Cai Yong, the first-year-old official of the Great Wei Dynasty who is regarded as a mascot by everyone, there is no longer an official who is older than Cheng Yu.

Logically speaking, those who lived to Cheng Yu's age deserve universal respect in the Wei Empire, a country that values ​​filial piety and respects the elderly.

Due to the various welfare policies formulated by the Wei Empire to respect the elderly, any elderly person over 70 years old in the local area is fed with delicious food and drink.

It was like a little baby holding it, afraid it would break and hold it in your mouth, and it would melt.

During festivals, the local officials will hold a birthday banquet in person and call on all the elderly over 70 years old in the local area to attend the banquet. Officials at all levels personally serve tea and water to the elderly, and respect these elderly people over 70 years old just like serving their own elderly people.

Due to special natures, such as working hard and frequent political storms, the Wei Empire has few officials who can live long since its establishment.

During the thirteenth year of Yande, the elderly gentry who survived the pre-Han chaos were basically killed by Guo Peng.

But the families that best give birth to the elderly are these gentry families who have no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, as soon as the first year of Xingyuan, the average age of imperial officials was less than 30 years old and a little over twenty-nine years old.

The senior officials and powerful officials in the court, and those important officials who hold the power of the world, are generally between the ages of forty and fifty, and there are even a few people in their thirty years old. Those who can exceed fifty years old are all elderly people in the court.

Although there is an objective situation where people have low average age, no matter what era, the average age is pulled up by these powerful families.

Without these powerful families, it would be scary to just count the average age of the people.
