On the fields outside Luoyang City, there are farms that have been rebuilt for a short time and county towns under renovation.

Some of the people coming and going to plow the fields and work hard to farm, while others carry construction wood and stone to the county town to participate in the construction. From a distance, it is clearly a vibrant construction scene.

Guo Peng got off the horse and walked on the field with Guo Jin, who also got off the horse.

The father and son walked in front, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei followed far behind with their personal soldiers in the Tiger Guard.

"Do you know why Father brought you here?"

"I would like to ask my father for advice."

After discussing Cai Wan's marriage, Guo Jin, who was about to marry his lover, was full of spring and very happy.

Guo Peng smiled slightly.

"For the Father, let's take you to see the foundation."

"Basic?"

Guo Jin frowned: "I'd like to ask my father to solve his doubts, what is the foundation?"

"Everything you see is our foundation."

Guo Peng pointed to the busy scene of people coming and going on in the wilderness: "Farmers, migrant workers, and these people who work hard and pay taxes are the foundation of you, my father and son."

"Father, son is a little confused."

Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng in confusion: "Didn't my father say before that the talents prepared for his son are the foundation of his son?"

“It’s now.”

Guo Peng nodded: "But when you sit in the position of being a father, they will no longer be your foundation, but your potential threat."

Guo Jin was stunned.

"Why did Father attack those who have made great contributions? Do you really want to pass it? You must still have doubts in your heart, and Father did not tell you all his purpose."

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin and reached out to hold Guo Jin's hand: "Part of the reason for attacking them is for you, and the other part is not, A Jin, they used to be the unshakable foundation for fathers, but now and in the future, they will no longer be the foundation for fathers, they are potential threats for fathers."

Guo Jin seemed to be a little confused about what Guo Peng meant.

"Father, my son doesn't understand. Do they really want to rebel?"

Guo Peng shook his head.

"A Jin, do you know why the emperor calls himself a lonely man?"

"have no idea……"

"Because the emperor is really a lonely man."

Guo Peng took a deep breath: "The irrefutable, unquestionable, the sad lonely man will always be the only one. He is not the emperor of the lonely man, nor is he a competent emperor."

"Father, the emperor, etc., we..."

"Don't worry about this, you'll finish your father."

Guo Peng interrupted Guo Jin: "The emperor is a lonely man because the emperor holds the power of life and death, and the power of life and death over any person is too powerful, so great that anyone will be afraid of it. Once a person holds this power, he will definitely become a public enemy!"

Guo Peng pinched Guo Jin's hand, stared at Guo Jin tightly, gritted his teeth, and finished his words one by one-

"Because everyone around him will worry that he will start a massacre! Including parents and children! Without exception, everyone will be afraid!"

Guo Jin suddenly widened his eyes.

Then kneel down immediately.

"Father! Son has no! Son has absolutely no!"

"If not, why are you kneeling?"

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin who was kneeling down suddenly.

Guo Jin's pupils shrank and his breathing stagnated.

"stand up!"

Guo Jin's body trembled and he slowly stood up.

"Do you understand what fear is?"

Guo Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Guo Peng in surprise.

"This is fear, the fear of absolute power will not change because of anything, even if you and I are father and son."

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand again: "Fusu and Hu Hai brothers killed each other, Emperor Wu Liu Ju and his son were killed each other, in front of absolute power, what is the relatives of blood?"

"Father……"

Guo Jin's voice was trembling.

"Do you understand what fear is?"

Guo Peng asked again.

"yes……"

Guo Jin's lips were trembling.

"Do you understand how the ministers and generals around you view the father now?"

"yes……"

Guo Peng nodded.

"So my father is already alone."

Guo Peng let go of Guo Jin's hand: "And you, even the next lonely person, must be the next lonely person."

Guo Jin shook all over, and the expression on his face was quite complicated.

"You think your close friends, your close ministers, your arms, minions, are actually potential threats to you, especially for you, my father and son, this threat is even greater."

Guo Peng looked around and said, "The world was in chaos for nearly twenty years. The Han Dynasty collapsed, and the people in the world changed their minds. He took advantage of the momentum to defeat all the heroes, establish achievements, stabilize the prefectures and counties, and make the world peaceful and peaceful.

However, the rebellions that have been one after another were not long before, and the rebellion was still not extinguished. If we do not suppress the local area with absolute power and supreme prestige, the rebellion will surely resurrect. After experiencing troubled times, everyone is the potential Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. Only when they are so strong that they despair can the world be restored to stability and gradually restore order."

Guo Jin felt that his mouth was very dry, his throat was also very dry, and his heartbeat was very fast.

"You may be confused. Do you have to fight against all the civil servants and military generals with your own strength?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "No, you have allies, and you have helpers. Do you know where they are?"

Guo Jin raised his head and looked at Guo Peng with some desire.

“It’s right here.”

Guo Peng opened his hands: "The common people on this land are your ally and your helper."

"Li?"

Guo Jin was immediately confused: "What is my father saying, Li Guan?"

"Yes, these people who face the land and the sky, working diligently just to have a full meal."

Guo Peng nodded: "They are your allies, and they are your only allies, and they are your foundation. Every piece of land recorded by the government and every household of military farmer recorded by the government is the real foundation left to you for your father."

Guo Peng took Guo Jin's hand and continued to walk forward.

"You have many doubts in your heart. For the Father, you know, but if you want to resolve the doubts, you must first answer a question for the Father."

"May I ask."

Guo Jin nodded.

"Are the common people?"

“…”

Guo Jin frowned: "Of course, didn't my father say that?"

"It seems to be true to the Father and to you."

Guo Peng smiled: "But in the eyes of scholars, the common people are not people, they are people. The common people are just ants and are not worthy of being called people at all. For fathers, I don't know what people are as noble and gentle as the king. But for fathers, I know that to this day, the so-called people refer to scholars who know the literature and read words."

Guo Peng stopped and let go of his hand, looking back at Guo Jin: "Only they are the people, and these hard-working common people are not the people, but just ants. They have never regarded the common people as the people they are like. In their hearts, they are two completely different existences from the common people.

They believe that they are born to rule the common people with high powers, and they are born to receive the common people's support. All the dirty and tiring work is done by the common people, and all the beauty belongs to them. Only they can read, only they can understand the truth, but the common people are not worthy."

Guo Jin's eyes were full of doubts and shock.

"Do you understand? People are not the same as people. People are not the same as people. People are not the people. People are not worthy of being people."

Guo Peng stared at Guo Jin and shouted: "Yingchuan Xun family, Yingchuan Chen family, Yingchuan Zhong family, Hongnong Yang family, Runan Yuan family, including Yingchuan Guo family, who were born in your father and son, as well as those local tyrants who have a lot of family property, are the people who are doing official positions, or are going to be an official, or are going to be an official in the end!

They, we are all people! Because they are the people, we can get to where we are today. Because they are the people, we can read and read and read truth! Because they are the people, we can raise our arms and pull up a group of people to start a rebellion. Just because they are the people, the common people cannot!"

"civil……"

Guo Jin said, "Father, we are...people?"

"A Jin, in the eyes of my father, there are only three types of people in the world: king, people, and common people."
