The generation that ended the troubled times has come to an end, which is Guo Peng’s premonition.

As if God was going to follow Guo Peng's premonition, Cheng Yu passed away at the beginning of the eighth year of Xingyuan.

Cheng Yu never lived before Guo Peng. After a spring rain, Cheng Yu suffered from a cold wind and disappeared in less than ten days.

Guo Peng didn't react.

Guo Peng went to see Cheng Yu when he was just sick. A few days later, he heard from the people in the large clinic saying that Cheng Yu was getting better and was about to visit him again, but in a few days, he was gone.

Guo Peng stared at Cheng Yu's body for a long time before realizing that Cheng Yu was really gone.

Then he got angry.

It was a big clinic and a big smash, and it was a mess. The doctors in the big clinic were scolded by the doctors who were all quack doctors who were just corpses and wastes. It was better to raise a group of pigs than to raise them.

"Give Zhongde back to me! Return it to me! Otherwise I will let you pay for your life! Pay for your life!!!"

Guo Peng's face turned red, holding Hua Tuo's collar, roaring with red eyes, like a wounded beast.

He wanted to kill all the "quack doctors" in the big clinic to pay Cheng Yu's life.

Since abdicating, Guo Peng has never gotten such a big temper.

All the doctors in the large clinic were so scared by his anger that they knelt on the ground and shivered, not daring to move or raise their heads.

Guo Jin didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only invite Cao Lan out.

In the end, Cao Lan rushed to the large clinic and took Guo Peng away in anger.

Guo Peng was taken back to Taishan Hall by Cao Lan, and sat on the bed for a while, then hugged Cao Lan and cried bitterly.

"When I went to see him, he told me that when the disease is cured, he would help me with another major case... He said that he found out that someone was selling private salt, and he wanted to deal with a major case... How many days have passed? How many days? Why did he disappear?"

Guo Peng hugged Cao Lan tightly and cried a lot.

I didn't cry like an old man who was almost sixty years old, but like a six-year-old child.

Cheng Yu is his half-intimate, his only half-intimate. Cheng Yu is gone, and he loses his only half-intimate.

No matter how much he cried, he would never be able to recover Cheng Yu's life.

In March of the eighth year of Xingyuan, Sili's captain Cheng Yu died of illness at the age of 83.

The Supreme Emperor Guo Peng personally paid his condolences, hugged the coffin and cried bitterly, staying in Cheng's mansion for three consecutive days and was unwilling to leave.

Until Cheng Yu's coffin was about to be transported out of Luoyang and returned to his hometown Dong'a County for burial, Guo Peng was still unwilling to leave.

He personally followed Cheng Yu's coffin and sent Cheng Yu's coffin out of Luoyang City. He stood on the wall of Luoyang City and watched Cheng Yu's coffin gradually leave until he could no longer see it.

Guo Peng personally drafted Cheng Yu the posthumous title [Zhen], and gave him the title of Grand Tutor, and was buried with the ceremony of the Three Dukes.

Because of Cheng Yu's special situation, Guo Peng instructed Guo Jin to use the power of Linzi Camp to send all the people of Cheng Yu's tribe to Guo Jun's Western Shu Kingdom without knowing it, and asked them to change their names and surnames, and live in Western Shu Kingdom from now on. Don't mention that they are descendants of Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu passed away, and the Xueliang magic sword that had always strongly suppressed the evil intentions of the ministers was gone.

Although no one dared to celebrate publicly because of the sorrow of the Supreme Emperor Guo Peng, for fear of hitting Guo Peng's bad head and being slaughtered by him.

But I don't know how many people celebrate in their hearts.

Celebrating that this terrible guy was finally dead, they didn't have to worry every moment, for fear that what they did would be discovered and then killed.

Guo Jin conducted a comprehensive investigation of Cheng Yu's subordinates and chose Cheng Yu's original important assistant Fa Zheng as the second Sili Captain.

According to his investigation, he found that the Dharma is small in power and full of attention. He is a typical person who must be repaid with kindness and revenge. Such a person is most suitable to sit in the position of the Sili School Captain.

Guo Peng's Cheng Yu was dead, but the Sili Captain could not be without a candidate.

Guo Jin chose his own "Cheng Yu".

After Fa Zheng took office, he seemed to show the emperor that he was no worse than Cheng Yu, so he immediately launched an investigation into the private salt sales case that Cheng Yu had previously investigated.

He sent many people to investigate, aiming directly at the Salt Affairs Department, who was also in charge of Zhuge Liang.

It seems that he wants to use his attack on Zhuge Liang to express his loyalty to the emperor, and to express that he is not afraid of any political network behind Zhuge, and is only loyal to Emperor Guo Jin.

Zhuge Liang submitted a statement to Guo Jin and explained the matter, and talked about the most core issue - as long as there is a monopoly, there must be corruption and private salt.

It's OK to catch it, but it can't be finished.

Zhuge Liang has been in charge of salt administration for several years and has greatly improved the disadvantages of salt administration and increased salt income.

But at the same time, he submitted a statement to Guo Jin many times, saying that the salt business problem cannot be solved by anti-corruption, and if it is to be solved, one must make a big decision.

We must make a certain degree of change in the situation of salt and iron monopoly, so that private salt trading can be changed.

Guo Jin knew that Zhuge Liang had done his best to do his best in salt business, but as for whether to change the situation of salt and iron monopoly, he was still hesitating.

While he was hesitating, Fa Zheng had already launched a blow to this round of private salt sales and was eager to make contributions.

Zhuge Liang submitted a statement again, asking the emperor to make a decision, at least a little bit of money to control the salt affairs. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight and kill like this. Although the salt affairs income is not small in the financial income of the Wei Empire, it is not the most necessary one.

For this reason, there was a lot of controversy in the court. Many people thought that this was Zhuge Liang trying to clear his relationship with the shortcomings of the salt administration, and his intentions were sinister.

A new round of political struggle is approaching, and Guo Peng no longer cared about all this.

Cai Yong's death was like a trailer, opening up the process of the gradual death of the elderly who followed him to conquer the world. In just a few years, many old ministers passed away one after another.

Once this momentum is started, it will never stop.

Cheng Yu was gone, and within a few months, Tian Feng was gone.

Tian Feng is younger than Cheng Yu, but he works and lives in places like Yunzhou for many years. He is too tired and has poor physical condition. Although he was later transferred to Luoyang, his health has always been in poor health.

At the end of the eighth year of Xingyuan, Tian Feng became infected with a disease and was unable to cure it and died in Luoyang.

The couple died one after another at the beginning of the year and the end of the year. Guo Peng didn't know if they had any other accounts that had not been settled, so they had to rush there to settle the accounts.

After thinking about it, Guo Peng also found it funny.

Although they were all gone, at least there was no need to worry about no one to accompany them. They could continue to fight there. Without him making trouble, they could go back and forth and have fun.

This must be the case...

For this world, a person's death does not mean anything. The world is still the same world, and the end of the world will not be the end of the world just because there is no one.

Also in the eighth year of Xingyuan were Guo Peng's son Guo Heng going out to fence the country, and the official beginning of the Roman Civil War.

The Roman Civil War was not something that the Wei Empire could interfere, but both sides maintained their rationality and provided the greatest protection to the diplomatic officials and caravans of the Wei Empire.

Nevertheless, during the period of the Roman Civil War, the Maritime Silk Road of the Wei Empire was bound to be affected.

However, the Wei Empire had already had experience in dealing with this, and all parties were ready to carry out in an orderly manner. In addition, the hot trade with the Western Shu Kingdom and the Southern Wu Kingdom would inevitably not cause the crisis like the two prefectures and three prefectures in the northwest that year.

Under Guo Peng's plan, the Western Qin State went west of Zhenxi Protectorate and west of Kazakhstan. Going westward, you can reach the Volga River Basin, with broad development prospects and room for maneuver.

With the development of the Wei Empire all the way west, the successful construction of the Zhenxi Protectorate was still of positive significance to the construction of the Western Qin State. They set out west to build a country and could provide full support and assistance through the Silk Road in the Western Regions.

And Guo Jin has some selfish thoughts.

When Guo Heng set out to establish the Western Qin State, in addition to the support provided by the imperial government, he must still need a lot of other materials. If he wants to order, he naturally needs to go through the Western Regions.

In this way, not only can the northwest commerce be reinvigorated, but also can recover some blood through taxes, so that a large amount of funds will not always be invested in the capitulation state and will not be able to get any profit from the capitulation state.

Through the "aid" to the Western Shu Kingdom established by Guo Jun, Guo Jin tasted the sweetness.

He knew that in addition to the free aid stipulated by Guo Peng, the ban countries also needed a lot of other aid, and these aids were not within the scope of free aid.

If necessary, even brothers must settle the accounts clearly.

Everyone will start to discuss business, hello, I, hello, aren’t you?

Guo Jin sent relevant officials from the inner court to the Western Shu Kingdom. Through direct contact with Guo Jun, he determined all the materials needed by Guo Jun. Guo Jun would use money or some local minerals and specialties to buy them, while the Wei Empire was responsible for transporting these materials to the Western Shu Kingdom with ships.

In this way, commercial interoperability between the two parties is achieved.

As Guo Jun continued to achieve military victory in mainland India, continued to defeat local indigenous peoples, and annexed their land to expand his sphere of influence, the wealth he owned continued to increase and he needed more and more things.

At this time, the brothers Guo Jin and Guo Jun exchanged through this additional trade, and some of Guo Jun's expansion dividends were swallowed by Guo Jin.

What Guo Jun can do the most is the large number of indigenous young men and women obtained by the war, so many of the materials were exchanged for these local indigenous people.

Ships of indigenous slaves were transported to the Wei Empire to participate in the hard work of Jiangnan development, and ships of materials were also transported to the Duchy of Western Shu through the ports of the Wei Empire, giving Guo Jun stronger strength.

This is a win-win situation for everyone, and the loser is the local natives.

Later, this model was copied to Guo Qiong's Southern Wu Kingdom, and the effect was just as good.

The Nanwu State has huge demand for water conservancy construction and deforestation and land reclamation, and there is a great demand for hot tinder and engineering talents.

In addition to free aid, Guo Jin did business with the Southern Wu Kingdom through these two points, and he was doing a good job and was able to get a lot of labor back.
