Mr. Guo has always been a person who loves reading.

Since he was a child, he has been learning Confucian classics briefly under the guidance of Guo Dan.

At the age of twelve, he arrived at the imperial capital and followed Cai Yong to further study the classics and explored the inner needs of Confucian scholars of this era from the perspective of literati.

After becoming Lu Zhi's disciple, under the guidance of the practical school Lu Zhi, he began to explore the mystery of Confucianism's overlordship of all schools of thought, and he could only learn it at the age of eighteen.

It’s not that he doesn’t work hard or that he is not talented enough. It’s because the Taixue education in this era is very rough, basically it’s an education model passed down by word of mouth. The teacher only said it once. Whether students can realize it depends entirely on their own talent and opportunities.

Elite education is just one-to-one word of mouth, and if teachers have the possibility of teaching it multiple times, students will have a greater chance of becoming successful.

However, only about one percent of the people who are qualified to enjoy elite education even among the 400,000 educated people.

Fortunately, Mr. Guo is one of the 400,000 people.

It can be said that without Lu Zhi's on-demand and careful teaching, Mr. Guo would not understand the highest-end game rules of this era, and it would be difficult for him to constantly seize opportunities and maximize his own interests.

And through this period of elite education, Mr. Guo has gained the ability to continue learning and increase his knowledge.

He can break sentences.

This is very important.

Because there are no punctuation marks at this time, the article is consistent, and how to break sentences and how to understand the meaning of our ancestors is all taught by the teacher. For example, there are still controversial Taos that can be said to be extraordinary. If people today have controversial things, let alone that era.

How to break sentences even determines how to understand the true meaning of this article, determines the future direction of this school of scholars, and the social status of a family.

The so-called mastering the power to interpret classics means mastering the power to break sentences. The Yuan family of Runan has mastering the power to break sentences in the Book of Changes, and became an unshakable academic master and the three ministers of the four generations.

Lu Zhi knew how to break sentences, but his family did not have the right to break sentences in a certain classic and did not have such qualifications. He could only teach Guo Peng how to break sentences and how to understand the meaning of his ancestors, which benefited Guo Peng a lot.

Nowadays, if you want to recognize words and get books, it is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in learning.

Without a teacher to teach you how to make sentences through a lot of practice, even if you read books and can recognize words, you will not be able to learn the meaning of the scriptures. Self-study is a luxury and there is no room for self-improvement.

Only by learning to break sentences can one have the possibility of self-study. Breaking sentences is an important power of academic denominations to monopolize academics. They are held tightly by them and never let go.

Therefore, Mr. Guo’s ability to break sentences and being able to break sentences with his own punctuation marks is one of his biggest advantages and one of the reasons why he can keep learning by himself.

For example, his self-study of "Han Feizi".

During the war to expand the territory, Mr. Guo accidentally obtained a set of "Han Feizi" from the war.

He has never read "Han Feizi" in his past and present lives, so he regards this set of "Han Feizi" as a treasure, and does not put it down. He keeps reading it as long as he has time. So far, he has read it seventy-three times and has handwritten it five times himself, and each time he has a new experience.

Through learning, he believed that this set of "Han Feizi" is the most suitable imperial textbook for emperors to learn.

Han Fei used poetic language to explain the cold power relationship and reveal the intrigue between the monarch and the ministers to the death. Compared with the story of Yao, Shun and Yu abdicating, which Confucian scholars specifically used to fool people, "Han Feizi" is the conscience.

After the founding of the country, Guo personally gave Guo Jin a study book list, the most important of which was "Han Feizi", especially the article "Yang Quan".

He personally made annotations for this article, allowing Guo Jin to study this chapter in depth, understand the essence of the battles between the whole day and the next, and understand the most straightforward and thorough hostile relationship between the king and the minister.

The deposed all schools of thought and the deposed these cold things, what is left is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

But the essence of these things will not change. The essence that Guo has learned through war is something that no one can deprive it of.

What's more, he also has the ability to learn independently, which is enough to independently break Han Feizi's chapter without anyone's guidance and learn.

No one can limit his self-improvement, no one can limit his thoughts and understand his mode of action.

Therefore, he not only mastered Confucian academics and legal provisions, but also mastered Han Fei's ideas on power and skills, began to learn and use power and skills to control his own ministers, and gradually climbed to the high platform.

Until now, no one can stop Guo from looking at his subjects in the way he looks at the enemy. No matter who he is, he will be the enemy in his eyes.

As an emperor, when he wakes up in the morning, he has to fight his ministers with his wisdom and brain in the power field, and face his ministers head-on.

When you go to bed at night, you have to use your body to fight your wives and concubines in the bed. Through your own body and the degree of favor for your wives and concubines, you can control the family forces behind your wives and concubines indirectly.

Life never stops, fights never stop, and fights a lot every day. Life is boring and dangerous. It is no wonder that emperors have often found it difficult for them to live long since ancient times.

After deeply understanding the essence of being an emperor, every time I face the memorials of the ministers, the pressure on myself and the restrictions on my behavior in the name of righteousness, Guo will realize that the war has begun again.

But, lords, you never realize that I am a person who likes to fight.

Everyone! I like war!

Mr. Guo laughed wildly, spread his arms to meet the challenges of his ministers!

The ministers were very dissatisfied with Mr. Guo's construction of a large-scale construction for his own exquisite life and the construction of the inner court. They believed that this was a sign of the emperor's depravity and that it was a dangerous signal.

So, headed by the Secretary of Shangshu Ling Cheng Yu, the Sili School Commander Guoyuan and the Minister of Rites Cui Yan followed closely, instigating a large number of officials at the Shangshutai to submit a statement together, speaking sincerely and with tears in their words, they asked Emperor Guo Peng to stop enjoying themselves and shift their attention to Jiangnan and to Jingzhou and Yizhou, which had not yet been pacified.

The world has not yet been unified, so you must be self-confidence?

This is what Cui Yan said above.

Since ancient times, the emperor who established the imperial profession has never seen him who was a emperor who was still a praising himself and enjoying himself. Do you want to repeat the mistakes of Qin? Do you want the imperial profession you worked hard to establish and die in the second lifetime?

This is what Guoyuan said in the above statement.

What they said was really rude, not at all tactful, just pointing at Mr. Guo’s nose and scolding.

The name of Dayi is really useful.

Standing on the commanding heights of morality, how could a normal emperor rebuke such a minister besides the "stupid and cruel" monarch?

Not only should we not scold, but we should also admit our mistakes in a low voice. This is the good emperor.

Finally I felt the feeling of the emperor being scolded by his ministers.

Mr. Guo was inexplicably enjoying it.

It’s strange that no one did this when I was not an emperor before, but now I am an emperor, but someone has done this.

It feels wonderful.

Is it more interesting to scold the emperor than to scold the warlord?

Or is it safer?

This psychological change is very interesting.

"Su Yuan, why did no one scold me like this when I was not an emperor before, but when I became an emperor, someone scolded me like this?"

Guo Peng looked at Su Yuan, the eunuch close to him.

Su Yuan was one of the eunuchs who served Liu Jian before. Among the remaining eunuchs, he was also of a relatively high qualification, so he was elected as Guo Peng's close eunuch.

Su Yuan knew his position very well, so he was careful in serving Guo Peng and never had any mistakes.

When facing Guo Peng's question, he has always been cautious and never dared to argue that Guo Peng would not allow him to make comments.

Although he is literate.

"Maybe it was because His Majesty was not in charge of the world's safety in the past, but now His Majesty is in charge of the world's safety, so the ministers are even more worried."

He replied carefully.

"More worried? Well, it's interesting, it's interesting."

Guo Peng laughed and didn't talk about this.

Although I felt bad about being scolded, it was actually okay. At least I fooled myself into expanding the eunuch's office.

At this time, it is suitable to perform an emperor's image that is humbly accepting advice and correcting mistakes. Others should be almost the same.

So Guo Peng issued an edict to express his negligence to his ministers, and held a grand court meeting, asking relevant departments of the court to discuss these two matters together and discuss sending troops to pacify Jingzhou and Yizhou, so as to make his own gesture.

Since Liu Zhang and Liu Biao each rejected their request for surrender, what they faced must be war.
