Thirty-five climb up

After hearing Zang Hong say this, Guo Peng was immediately furious.

"Buried your eggs, do you want me to commit murder? Zang Hong, how can you look so energetic on weekdays? It's gone?"

"My father was defeated in the battle. He was the son of the defeated general and the defeated general. What kind of face and spirit do you have? Xiao Yi, if you don't bury me, just send me out of the Imperial Academy. I want to go back to my hometown."

Zang Hong shook his head and said, "I can't stay here anymore. I might be punished by the police. I'm leaving."

Guo Peng stepped forward and pressed Zang Hong into the wooden barrel.

"Your Majesty has mercy. You have not pursued the family of the defeated general. You are not guilty and you can continue to stay in the Imperial Academy."

After Guo Peng said this, Zang Hong's eyes became more energetic.

"real?"

"real."

Guo Peng said, "The defeated general is your father, not you. Why did you act like a defeated general? Did you lose the battle? Your Majesty doesn't pursue it, what are you doing here?"

In fact, Zang Hong is not everyone at all. His father is just a small person in Luoyang and cannot cause any storm.

So everyone just forgot that Zang Min had a son studying in Luoyang, so they didn't care about him at all.

But Guo Peng must say it differently, otherwise Zang Hong will really run away, so this can probably be regarded as a lie of kindness.

“…”

Zang Hong was silent for a long time, and his eyes turned red.

"Your Majesty treats my father and son as much as a mountain. If you don't learn to become a country and make meritorious, what kind of face can I stand between heaven and earth?! I will work hard to learn and serve the country to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

Zang Hong no longer quarrels and no longer goes on a hunger strike to die, and begins to recover.

After this night, he reappeared in the Imperial Academy in another posture. The people who had been around him were always gone, but his steps seemed to be a little lighter.

Guo Peng didn't know whether it was a good or a bad thing for him, but it was a good thing for Zang Hong to stay.

Although he is just a little person who doesn't even have the qualification to be cared about, who knows that little persons may also achieve great things?

Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was a complete little person...

This matter was finally over, no one's goal was achieved, the Emperor Ling's goal was not achieved, the ministers' goals were not achieved, and the eunuchs' goals were not achieved, but the cracks between each other were heading in an even more irreversible direction.

The sixth year of Xiping passed like this. At the end of the sixth year of Xiping, Emperor Ling issued an edict announcing that he would change the year's year name to "Guanghe". From the first day of the first lunar month next year, the year name of the Han Dynasty changed to Guanghe.

Xiping became history, and light became present and future.

After Guo Peng learned about it, the urgency in his heart became even more prominent.

He will never forget that in the six years of Guanghe, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos and the scenes of troubled times first appeared.

It is precisely because of this that when he went home to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year, he was not in a good mood. Although he was clamoring around a group of little brothers from the Cao family and Xiahou family, he still felt a sense of heaviness that he could not get rid of.

A foresighted concern about the future.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the world, and countless dead were dead.

At first, the Yellow Turban Army targeted high-ranking families and local tyrants. Later, the three brothers Zhang Jiao died one after another, and the Yellow Turban Army became a complete bandit, killing people and robbing people and doing all kinds of evil.

They are no longer "rebels", but bandits.

So Guo Peng even wanted to persuade Guo Shan to take refuge in Jingzhou or Jiaozhou, but now no one is willing to believe this, even though he returned to his hometown under the name of the servant Lu Zhi, and was favored by many well-known figures in his hometown.

This time he came back is different from last year. Last year, he was just a student, but this year, he is already a disciple of Lu Zhi, a famous scholar in China.

Lu Zhi has many disciples, and he has also taught his disciples in his hometown.

But that was run through official channels. Lu Zhi is a teacher in the county school palace with many students. This time, unlike in the past, he took part in his personal capacity, which has different meanings.

That's why people envy Guo Peng very much, so they didn't see Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan wandering under the name of "Lu Zhi's disciples" and did not gain any benefits.

For Guo Peng, this is the case. The reputation of the teacher will often become his help, so Guo Shan is so excited.

When he returned home, Guo Dan pulled Guo Peng into the room, praising Guo Peng's efforts and praised Guo Peng's achievements, but Guo Peng must be cautious. He is now shallow in his foundation and has no background. He must be careful when he manages his business and must not be complacent.

This does not require a reminder from Guo Shan.

At the same time, Guo Shan expressed some regrets about letting Guo Peng marry the daughter of Cao.

"If you are more capable of your father and have more friends in the capital, you will not be able to lose face and ask your uncle to not be able to get you into such a stain!"

With his words, Guo Shan felt very regretful that he did not do his best to help Guo Peng get to power. He believed that the identity of Cao's son-in-law still caused trouble for Guo Peng.

Of course this is true, but because Guo Shan can't see the future in decades, he feels that he has done something wrong. If he can see it, he will know how correct he made.

At least the third generation of the Guo family has guaranteed it, as for the future...

Countless gentry members have no guarantee, let alone other people.

"Father, it's meaningless to say these things now. It's unimaginable that Cao's help to us. Without Cao's family, his son would not be able to be strong Cai Yilang, nor would he be recommended to become a teacher's disciple. In this regard, Cao's help to his son."

Guo Peng is reminding Guo Shan not to do stupid things.

Guo Dan hesitated for a while and sighed deeply.

"I just know, so I regret it. Why... Alas! Why is there no best in both worlds in the world? If this stain on you cannot be erased, our family will be dragged down forever!"

"Of course there is nothing perfect in the world. Otherwise, why would my grandfather leave Yingchuan to make a living?"

Guo Peng's words made Guo Dan feel desolate. Guo Dan drank more wine tonight, stood up staggeringly, and hugged Guo Peng.

"Xiao Yi, you have to remember that in the future, even if you climb, you will have to climb to the power of high officials and generous salaries. This is the case in this world. If you don't have power, you are an ant. Only when you are in power can you live freely. Xiao Yi, remember, climb upward! Climb upward! Climb upward at all costs! Climb upward!"
