After receiving Guo Peng's summons, Chen Ji was quite worried.

He came to Guo Peng's study tremblingly and carefully, and knelt face to face with Guo Peng on the cushion.

There was a table table between them, and a small copper stove was placed on the table table, lit incense, and a few wisps of dark blue smoke passed through the holes covered by the small copper stove and cauldron, floating up stubbornly.

Time has been backed by hundreds of years. This is the standard model for the correctness of the monarchs and ministers in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and such customs were also preserved.

Guo Peng likes this model very much and thinks it is quite stylish, so when he and the counselors he values ​​use this model.

The same is true now.

He poured a drink for Chen Ji and handed it to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji hurriedly thanked.

"Mr. Chen doesn't need to be polite."

Guo Peng smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen is the old man who has followed me all the way. I have been working hard to help me, and I am very grateful."

Chen Ji hurriedly said, "The old minister dare not take credit for his own pride."

"Hahahaha, why should Mr. Chen do this?"

Guo Peng took out a bamboo slip from his arms and held it in his hand, and smiled and said, "There are some things that outsiders need to avoid, but Mr. Chen is highly respected, so why should he care? Mr. Chen be content with mercy and mercy. I have no taboo to treat Mr. Chen."

When Guo Peng said these words, Chen Ji felt a little confused and was not content with ease. Moreover, the bamboo slip that Guo Peng had just held in his hand...

What does it mean?

Chen Ji didn't say anything.

Shaoqing, Guo Peng spoke again.

"There is something that I don't know if Mr. Chen has heard of."

Chen Ji hurriedly said, "Please tell me if you are Duke Wei."

"It's not big, it's not small."

Guo Peng put the bamboo slips in his hand on the table: "Please also ask Mr. Chen to take a look."

Chen Ji reached out to pick up the bamboo slip with some confusion, untied the rope, and read it carefully.

"Speaking of this, this incident really makes Gu a little strange."

Guo Peng held the water cup and took a sip of the sweet drink.

Chen Ji was slowly reading the words on the bamboo slips.

This bamboo slip was left by Luoyang and sent by the Secretary of State Xun You.

"Gu didn't expect that the matter of Your Majesty's promotion to King of Wei was not proposed by Gu."

As Chen Ji read, he finished reading the simple opening remark and looked down, and suddenly his heart frowned.

Xun You recorded that the young emperor wanted to promote Guo Peng to King of Wei, but Xun Yu took the initiative to stand up and slander Guo Peng more.

King of Wei?

Xun Yu objected?

this……

"Gou didn't expect that someone would doubt the intention of me, and even think that I had a bad intention."

Chen Ji gradually read the part of the court dispute, the part where Xun Yu repeatedly refuted Xun You's proposal, fine beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and his lips became a little dry.

"Gu didn't expect that someone would say in court that Gu was the Duke of Wei yesterday, King of Wei today, and tomorrow..."

Guo Peng put down the water cup, with a smile on his lips, his cold eyes locked on Chen Ji, and he spoke slowly.

"It's Emperor Wei."

At this moment, Chen Ji happened to read the last part of Xun You's writing about "Please kill Xun Yu to face the audio".

At that moment, Chen Ji's pupils shrank, his breathing stagnated, and a lot of cold sweat suddenly appeared behind him, and his underwear was quickly soaked in cold sweat.

At the same time, his hand shook, and the bamboo slip fell on the table in front of him, making a crisp collision sound, and then fell on the ground.

Chen Ji's lips were trembling, his body was trembling, as if even his soul was trembling.

Guo Peng's expression remained unchanged, his smile remained unchanged, and his eyes became colder.

"Mr. Chen, do you say that tomorrow, I will become Wei Emperor!?"

Chen Ji's breathing was very short because of tension, and his heartbeat continued to accelerate. He felt a cold air from head to toe from inside to outside, causing him to feel cold all over his body.

"Old...the old minister thought...no...no..."

Chen Ji's voice became trembling due to his trembling body and became intermittent.

He suddenly noticed that it seemed that from the beginning, Guo Peng's claim changed from his usual "me" to a cold "lone".

"Mr. Chen thought it wasn't?"

Guo Peng still smiled and said slowly, "But why does Xun Wenruo think so? Mr. Chen, I remember that Xun Wenruo and Mr. Chen seem to have a good relationship, and the relationship between Xun and Chen seems to be good. The relationship between Changwen and Xun Wenruo seems to be even better, right?"

At that moment, Chen Ji's body froze.

Then, almost in a flash, Chen Ji left Guo Peng, knelt down and walked several steps, and lay on the ground for a long week.

"Duke Wei! There is absolutely nothing wrong with this!"

Chen Ji said in a trembling voice: "Since Xun Wenruo opposes Duke Wei's title of Duke, the Chen family and Chen family have known that Xun Wenruo has bad intentions and have never had any contact with Xun Wenruo again! Absolutely not!"

"Oh, this is not good."

Guo Peng's eyes were still cold, but the smile on his lips became brighter: "The two surnames Xun and Chen started to get along well early. They are close and intimate. They have already had me and I and I have you. If the two families are no longer intimate because of the issue of orphanage, wouldn't that be the fault of the orphanage?

Both Xun and Chen are surnamed Han. The two families are close friends and mutually communicated with each other, which are important cornerstones for the development of Chinese academic studies. If the reason for my Chinese academic studies is not able to develop, then will the lonely be a sinner for the eternal sinner? This crime, the lonely one cannot afford it."

Guo Peng smiled and said with a relaxed tone, as if he was chatting with Chen Ji.

But to Chen Ji, every sentence is a heart-wrenching word and a life-threatening word.

Chen Ji felt that Guo Peng, who was sitting there, seemed to have raised his butcher knife and was about to swing it down at him.

He never felt his heart beat so fast, nor did he feel his brain so clear.

"Duke Wei!"

Chen Ji said in a trembling voice: "The Chen family and Xun family are indeed friendly for generations, but that is only an academic exchange and does not involve any other relationships. If Mr. Wei is not happy, Chen family will never have any contact with Xun family in the future!"

"Didn't Gu just say that?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "If Xun and Chen are no longer friendly because of the orphan, then the orphan is a huge mistake. How will future generations view orphans?"

“!!!”

Chen Ji suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei is not wrong! Mr. Wei is not wrong! Chen... Chen... Old minister! Old minister thinks that Chen should not have any involvement with Xun! Chen... Chen... Chen is very dissatisfied with Xun Wenruo's words to slander Mr. Wei! Chen will no longer have any connection with Xun! In the future, there will be no communication or in-laws!"

Guo Peng picked up the water cup and drank a sip of the sweet drink, only to feel the sweet taste.

Don't speak.

Don't speak?

That's...

Chen Ji's eyes rolled, his brain rotated rapidly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in the flash. He swallowed and made up his mind.

"The old minister thinks that Yingchuan's hometown was poisoned by the Dong bandits in Xiliang, and it has long been destroyed and not enough to be the hometown of Chen. Chen's family is willing to move to Wei County to live and never return to Yingchuan!"

After Chen Ji finished speaking, he touched the ground with his forehead, placed his hands in front of Guo Peng, and his courtesy was very comprehensive.

Guo Peng put down the water cup and smiled.

"Will this be too difficult for Mr. Chen? After all, it is a century-old hometown and cannot be separated from his hometown. If the Chen clan members are dissatisfied and blame their own faults, then..."

"Absolutely, all the members of the Chen family have no complaints."

Chen Ji did not look up and knelt on the ground and said firmly: "Not now, not in the future, not in the future, never in there! If anyone has, he will no longer be a child of the Chen family!"

After a while.

“That’s great.”

Guo Peng stood up with a smile, walked to Chen Ji, squatted down, and helped Chen Ji's upper body up with both hands.

Chen Ji didn't dare to look at Guo Peng's face.

"Mr. Chen, Changwen is a very outstanding young man. He is rigorous in his work, reliable in his work, and has a sense of the overall situation. I think Changwen is very promising. Mr. Chen has a good son, and I am very happy for Mr. Chen."

Chen Ji raised his head little by little, saw the smile on Guo Peng's face little by little, and felt a little relaxed.

So he grinned and smiled reluctantly.

"Being able to gain the appreciation of Duke Wei is a blessing for long articles, and a blessing for long articles."

"Come on, Mr. Chen, sit down."

Guo Peng carries Chen Ji intimately and walks to the cushion, then holds Chen Ji and sits down.

Chen Ji sat down and made his stance right.
