Seven hundred and eighty-eight eunuchs and spies
When Guo Peng communicated with the officials before he became emperor, the officials did not understand why Guo Peng did not place the Nine Ministers.
Without Jiuqing, how can we serve the royal family?
Guo Peng told them at that time that he had his own arrangements.
This is his arrangement.
It is not easy for Mr. Guo to just re-train a group of useful eunuchs.
The old eunuchs who had experience in fighting in the dynasty of Emperor Ling were all robbed by Yuan Shu when Dong Zhuo entered the capital and killed them all with coercive means.
The pitiful survivors around Liu Xie were also wiped out in the war in Chang'an and the Hongnong Fire.
Guo Peng now has only more than 200 eunuchs, all of whom are new eunuchs and lack experience in fighting.
Mr. Guo cultivated their juggling skills and taught them to recognize words, mainly to accompany Liu Jian and monitor Liu Jian.
Liu Jian was going to Shanyang Kingdom to be his Shanyang Duke. At least fifty of this group of eunuchs had to follow Liu Jian, and he could only stay more than one hundred of them.
There is still a long way to go to expand to the scale of the Twenty-Fourth Yamen.
It doesn’t matter. As long as the central imperial power is still there, there is no need to worry about the existence of no one who is willing to be an eunuch.
Let’s start with the irrelevant things. On the surface, the power of these eunuchs’ yamen was originally centered around the emperor’s daily life. It seemed harmless, but it was very necessary.
At that time, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty did not expect that the Ming Dynasty emperors could use the eunuchs from the twenty-four yamen to do so many things.
Originally, it was just a slave to serve the emperor, but who would have thought that the cabinet and the Jinyiwei would later suppress the eunuchs.
Guo Peng planned to send people out to recruit poor people who are unable to eat to be eunuchs from now on. Those who have experience have been promoted to become close eunuchs and slowly raise them.
Then I sent someone to the inner court to teach them how to read and read, and master some cultural knowledge.
Emperor Ling knew that he would train his own people by doing Hongdumen, so Guo naturally knew that too.
The eunuch's affairs are going to be done now. As for the spy, it was something that Mr. Guo started to mess with him very early.
Linzi Camp expanded from a few hundred people earlier to a scale of more than 10,000 people now. Every state, county and county of the Han Empire had spies from Linzi Camp stayed there and had branches.
Especially in the Central Plains states and counties, the secret spies were connected together and built by Guo’s developed transportation network built on the developed Central Plains that he spent countless money and effort. Once something happened, Guo could know earlier than the local area’s 600-mile rush.
The establishment of a spy country has begun to take shape.
Therefore, over the years, Linziying's development has been very fast and its ability to do things is very strong.
As Guo Peng's right-hand man, the importance of his adopted son Yan Rou has gradually become prominent.
So the copy of the Jinyiwei, which belongs to Mr. Guo himself, already exists and is in operation all the time.
From spying on intelligence to collecting evidence to surveillance of ministers and generals to surveillance places, Guo spreads his minions everywhere, allowing them to be their own eyes and ears, so that they can be smart and bright, and will not become deaf or blind.
Among the command agencies at all levels in Linzi Camp, there are war orphans adopted by Guo Peng over the years in various places.
After the high-intensity brainwashing education of Linziying since childhood, they all strictly abide by the rules and laws and are only loyal to Mr. Guo.
Linziying is now unique in cultivating new people, and its brainwashing techniques are becoming more mature and fully sustainable.
Through this intelligence network that is spread all over the country, Guo is very clear-headed and has a clear-eyed attitude and control over all parts of the empire that ordinary people can imagine.
When necessary, this department should be put on the surface, creating a huge deterrent force on the Shangshutai, and together with the eunuch's yamen, cover up what Mr. Guo really wants to do.
Eunuchs and spies are basically from civil servants, they are the real departments of civil servants, and they are the most direct manifestation of Guo's power. Their existence is an important means for Guo to join forces with civil servants to attack the civil servants.
This series of arrangements are all for one goal, which is to establish the imperial examination system and terminate the secondary monarchy system.
Not to mention everything, Guo cannot do it, and he doesn't have the money. What he thought was that at least some children of the common people could go to school with the children of the powerful and powerful to study and learn knowledge, initially build educational institutions directly under the state, and hold imperial examinations within a limited population.
As long as the imperial examination can be made a fact and a system of misleading names is established, it doesn’t matter whether it is the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty or the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty.
As long as there is an imperial examination, as long as there are preliminary and most basic local educational institutions in the country that are very shabby directly affiliated, even if only a very small number of poor families and common people can receive education, it is fine.
Even if the imperial examinations in the Sui Dynasty were just like playing, the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty still needed to be contributed, but later there could still be a Niu and Li party dispute.
That was a process, a process where maybe Mr. Guo could not see the results himself.
If the imperial examination system cannot be established, his series of arrangements will be the same as Emperor Ling, and it will be just the final madness.
But as long as the imperial examination system is established, he will win. Even if its glory is not in Guo and Wei, but in later dynasties, that is the same.
Mr. Guo only needs the imperial examination.
No matter how scholars oppose, struggle, or fight to the death.
He will not compromise or give up.
At that time, the powerful eunuch system and spy system would also be mainly used to deal with the deadly attacks that scholars might launch.
They will never sit still and wait for death. Whether it is poisoning, assassination, or instigation of rebellion, they will definitely take action.
So from the central government to the local government, Guo will be fully prepared.
Whether it is assassination, poisoning, or coup in the central government, it doesn’t matter. Eunuchs and spies are prepared for this.
Instigate rebellion in the local area?
Let’s see if I have a larger population, or if you have a larger population, my grassroots government and military are stronger, or if your manor thugs are stronger.
Did Mr. Guo use less conspiracy along the way?
Are there few despicable means used?
Have you done less despicable things?
From the son of the county magistrate to the throne of the emperor, have I killed fewer people?
I have overturned all four major families. Do you want to play tricks with me if the remaining smelly fish and rotten shrimps are still trying to play with me?
A group of younger brothers!
Only one imperial examination is missing!
Only one imperial examination is missing!
Just one imperial examination is needed, and the Guo Dynasty will truly evolve into the Wei Empire!
A king is a monarch, and a minister is a minister. No one can control his heart. He can even directly push history to the Tang Dynasty. If the kings of later generations work harder, they can even directly push it to the Song Dynasty, eliminating the dark and chaotic years that have been in the middle for hundreds of years.
That's enough. Guo Peng no longer cared about what would happen afterwards. As long as he could end the politics of the gentry and promote the politics of the imperial examination, he would be enough as an emperor.
It doesn’t matter if no one understands it, it doesn’t matter if scholars all oppose it.
What I want is your life. It would be strange if you don’t object to me. If you don’t want to take my life, it would be strange if you don’t want to.
But if you don’t revolutionize your lives, the people in the world will waste hundreds of years in the darkness.
How can I accept it?
I can't accept that such things continue to happen, so I'll fight you anyway.
You have traditions, and I hold the future in my hand.
Mr. Guo doesn’t know how many years he has to live.
But he has bet on his future hopes on his lifespan. If he can have enough lifespan, he has enough hope to accomplish this. The longer the lifespan, the greater the hope.
Will history leave a glimmer of hope for yourself and create a real start?
Mr. Guo sat upright on the throne with a solemn face.
Chapter completed!
