Six hundred and ninety-eight, the king of Wei
This unprecedentedly serious political storm had a serious impact on the officialdom at the end of the first year of Jian'an.
This is Guo Peng’s purpose.
He was trying to attack the power of scholars in Yingchuan and Runan.
During the Han Dynasty, many talents emerged in Yingchuan, and a large number of Yingchuan people served as officials in the central government. Since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the proportion of Yingchuan scholars who served as the three ministers is the first in the country, and this is even more so after the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

So there was a saying that the world's talents came out of Yingchuan.
No matter how many scholars are, the quality or the number of heirloom classics are, there is no one above Yingchuan, and even the scholars of Runan, who are also prosperous in culture, cannot compete with them.
The scholars of Runan were already in a slump due to the destruction of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu one after another and the Yuan family was almost exterminated.
Most of them followed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and suffered a devastating blow in the war between Guo Peng to wipe out the two Yuans. Under the framework of political correctness, Guo Peng focused on the scholars of Runan and put them as political prisoners and accurately killed them. They were no longer a miracle.

The rest are the scholars of Yingchuan.
The scholars from Yingchuan have a deeper central heritage and relationship network than those of the scholars in Runan. Even after experiencing war and displacement, they have not been affected too much. They can still invest everywhere and find a way out.
The number of outstanding children behind the foundation and the number of outstanding children is their greatest reliance. In this regard, the gap between top gentry and small gentry is very large.
This made Mr. Guo very unhappy.
Hongnong Central is gone, but Yingchuan Scholar Group is still there. Their background is difficult for other scholars, including the civil servant group under Guo.
They refused to admit defeat, they continued to fight, they held power, brought the traditions of the Central Committee of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Guo and Wei regime and influenced it, so it would not be so easy for Guo Peng to replace the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Guo Peng has always been deliberately suppressing the position of the Yingchuan scholars in his group and vigorously promoting his confidants, the Han clan scholars, the Qingyan scholars, and the Jizhou scholars to fight against the Yingchuan scholars.
Xun Yu's self-destruction behavior gave Guo Peng an excellent breakthrough point for blasting the Yingchuan Scholars Group.
As time went by, as Guo Peng's prestige and power continued to increase, as he gained his ambitions little by little, after three times, he finally broke up the power of the Yingchuan Scholar Group and pushed their reputation and power to the bottom.
Not easy.
There are many scholars in Yingchuan.
Among them, the three families, Xun, Chen and Zhong, are at the top of the lay Buddhist group, and compete with the Hongnong Yang and Runan Yuan. The three families have different children, are connected with each other, have huge networks of relationships and are prosperous.
After Mr. Guo destroyed the Hongnong Central Committee, his second goal was to be the top gentry family in Yingchuan led by the Xun, Chen and Zhong.
Now Xun's family has committed a crime of treason and was beheaded, with a sharp drop in reputation and political interests.
Because of the relocation of household registration, Chen left Yingchuan and directly left Yingchuan base camp. He was suspected of taking advantage of the situation and his reputation was damaged. He also stood opposite to all the scholars in Yingchuan, and his future was unclear.
The Zhong family was even more miserable. The direct descendant Zhong Yao was killed in the tragedy of the Hongnong military transformation, and the whole family was also killed by the riots. The main family suffered serious losses. Now only two people from the other branches of the other branches are working as officials under Guo Peng's command, and their status is low.
As representative families of the Xun family, Chen and Zhong family of Yingchuan scholars, although they did not fail to recover after encountering such political changes, they were like losing their skin and covered in blood.
With only Xun You who has a bad reputation and Chen Qun, who has a shallow qualification, as representative figures, he cannot confront the Qing Yanshi, Jizhou scholars and even poor scholars.
After they were taken down, the vacant positions were quickly arranged by Guo Peng to take over by his confidants and take away this part of the power.
They can no longer stop Guo Peng's progress.
He didn't dare to continue to stop Guo Peng's progress.
On this basis, on the first day of the second month of Jian'an, Emperor Liu Jian of Han sent people to Yecheng for the fourth time to enthrone the Duke of Wei Guo Peng as King of Wei, and gave him nine tins.
That is, nine items that symbolize status and power, including chariots, horses, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nabi, tiger, axe, bow and arrow, and turtle.
Holding Jiuxi is basically the same as the emperor, and has the rightful power of life and death.
This time, Guo Peng accepted it.
To be king, add nine tins.
The swords and shoes are in the hall, but the emperor will not kneel.
A country is established and a country is within a country, and it is equivalent to an emperor.
He tore up the White Horse Alliance, amulets that had been in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, became the fourth person to destroy the White Horse Alliance and cross that line.
The first three have no good endings. They are killed and destroyed, and they have been detrimental for thousands of years. However, if Guo himself has a good ending, Guo doesn't dare to really assert it now.
Maybe it fails and dies?
Who knows?
But there is no doubt that Mr. Guo is now extremely successful.
Three waves of political purges have cleared all the stumbling blocks on his way forward, and the rest is just a matter of time.
He had become the King of Wei, and the Duchy of Wei was also promoted to the King of Wei in the second year of Jian'an.
Guo Peng, and the country he created, are only one step away from becoming a unified empire.
A real step away.
Guo Peng held a grand celebration ceremony in Yecheng, recalled almost all the important generals who commanded troops abroad and important ministers who governed the local areas abroad, led them to sacrifice to heaven and earth, worship the Guo clan temple, and once again established Cao Lan as the queen of the King of Wei, and Guo Jin as the crown prince of the King of Wei, establishing all the status and inheritance.
Subsequently, Guo Peng took office as the general of the Han Empire in a low-key manner, becoming the general who had been above ten thousand people since He Jin's death.
But now, the title of King Wei has far surpassed the limelight of the general.
King of Wei, King!
King of different surnames!
Since Zhu Lu, a king of different surnames has never been seen in the Han Dynasty!
The ministers supported, the army supported, and the people of Wei State were even more supportive of the King of Wei!
There is no Chinese-character flag in the territory of Wei State.
It is said that Wang Mang and Yuan Shu tore up the White Horse Alliance because they became emperors directly.
Wang Mang ascended the throne in the name of dukes and "fake emperors".
Yuan Shu was even more a bachelor, and directly crossed several levels and quickly became emperor at a rocket-like speed, directly establishing the Chen Empire.
Neither of these two is the king.
Empress Lu appointed Zhu Lu as kings, mainly to fight against foreign ministers and Han clan relatives, and did not really want to let the descendants of the Lu family be emperors.
Only Guo Peng, step by step, step by step, down-to-earth, crossed the corpse, waded through the blood pool, and walked towards the supreme position with countless sins and conspiracies.
Step by step, step by step, step by step, step by step.
Walking extremely solidly, walking extremely cautiously, walking extremely smartly.
He is the one who truly destroyed the Han Dynasty.
That unique thief in the world!
When Guo Peng was wearing the king's clothes, he led his ministers and generals to sacrifice to heaven and earth, he was actually a little emotional.
As for him, he has overcome the humbleness of his origin, passed the roadblocks ahead, and crossed the sea of corpses and blood. He is finally one step away from the final destination.
Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. When he became Duke Wei, he reached this ninety position, and when he became King of Wei, he was ninety-nine.
There are no obstacles in front of you, and the enemy will either be destroyed by the body or by the spirit.
There are no obstacles anymore.
Guo Peng slowly closed his eyes, then opened them, and smiled contemptuously at the blue sky and white clouds above his head.
Liu Bang, have you seen it?
It’s been four hundred years, and it’s been four hundred years!
It's over.
You lost.
Chapter completed!
