In addition to walking the dog, Guo Peng did not give up exercising under the heavy daily government pressure.

He has always believed that building muscles is an important way to keep fit.

After becoming emperor, he further realized that his health was related to the stability of the entire empire and the advancement of his overall plan, and he could not joke about his body.

So he will do systematic aerobic and muscle training when he has time. If he doesn’t have time, he will do five animal shows while handling official duties and exercise his stiff body.

He asked the eunuchs in the weaving supervisor to polish the barbells with stone, and also created professional training tools such as parallel bars and horizontal bars for him. He also made a braided pad to facilitate him to make planks and raise his legs so that he could practice the muscles of his body and prevent his physical fitness from falling.

After all, he is a man in his 4th century. In this era, he can no longer be considered young, and he is even considered middle-aged and elderly.

A few years ago, Guo Jin accompanied Cai Wan to get pregnant. Now Cai Wan's belly is getting bigger. Cao Lan is very happy. She accompanied Cai Wan to raise her baby every day, and all kinds of delicious foods are tightly eaten by Cai Wan.

Although Guo Peng is not yet forty, he is about to be a grandfather and cannot look at himself with the eyes of a young man.

It is necessary to practice, otherwise the foundation laid under Lu Zhi in the early years would be completely defeated.

Guo Peng has always paid great attention to fitness and is highly self-disciplined in daily life. He also pays attention to a high-protein diet. He rarely eats big oil and meat, and strictly controls his own diet.

Chicken, especially chicken breast, is his main ingredient.

In order to facilitate the emperor to eat chicken, Shangshenjian specially chose a remote corner to raise chickens in the palace.

In fact, the eunuchs in Shangshenjian and the chefs in charge of cooking also found it very strange. They didn’t understand why His Majesty the Emperor always liked to eat hard and tidy chicken breasts?

Don’t eat delicacies, don’t eat them, don’t eat the emperor’s treatment, and just eat those unpalatable meat?

In addition, I also specially asked to boil it in water, cut it into small pieces and put it in to cook, sprinkle some salt, add some vegetables, or beat the chicken breast, then rub it with egg white, grab it, and then sprinkle some salt and steam it.

This bland and tasteless chicken breast is actually the food the emperor eats the most every day. He can eat a lot of these chicken breasts a day. The emperor doesn’t even eat much food, but only drinks a bowl of porridge in the morning.

For other snacks, at most, they can eat some supplements and desserts made by the queen or eggs. The emperor only eats egg whites and does not eat egg yolks. He makes the egg yolks into porridge to nourish the women and children in the harem.

The emperor basically did not drink alcohol and seldom ate those stir-fry dishes carefully cooked by old hotpots.

That is, when holding a banquet during festivals or when everyone celebrates their birthdays, the emperor will eat some stir-fry dishes and some rice. Most of the time, the emperor will use boiled chicken breasts and egg whites as rice, and sometimes they will eat beef.

Then eat fruit.

The emperor's daily diet was indispensable for seasonal fruits, such as pears, grapes, peaches, plums, and citrus that were specially tributed from Yangzhou.

It’s cold in winter and there are no seasonal fruits, that doesn’t matter, there are hot springs in Luoyang.

In the early years, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu named Luoyang Hot Spring Guangchengze and set up Guangchengyuan as a royal garden. He left Luoyang from time to time to bathe in the hot spring here.

The same is true for Emperor Guo now, but in addition to bathing, Emperor Guo also lets people open up land around to plant vegetables, fruits and melons and vegetables for use in the palace in winter. Those fruits and vegetables can also grow in winter, but the number is not large.

So the emperor kept fruits and vegetables all year round.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, the emperor also likes to eat walnuts.

This is something from the Western Regions. It is a kind of fruit with a hard shell but crispy taste. Because the emperor likes to eat it, it has also attracted the attention of many people, so it can be widely planted.

In addition to his diet being very different from ordinary people, the emperor also likes to do some strange movements.

Sometimes the eunuchs would watch the emperor holding something like a stone lock that was ground into stone, and squat down and stand up again. This cycle was repeated more than a hundred times.

Then I saw the emperor lying on the cushion in a single dress, constantly raising his legs, doing five or six hundred, until he was out of breath.

Or the emperor held the cushion in a strange posture and asked the eunuch Su Yuan to take a few incense sticks to time the emperor, and he was also panting.

Then, on those iron sticks, the emperor would also do some strange movements, such as grabbing the iron stick with both hands and pulling his body up hard, and the solid lumps on his body were about to explode.

Su Yuan counted and the emperor pulled up fifty at most at one breath.

In addition to these strange body-building movements, Su Yuan also saw that the emperor would find time to practice swordsmanship and spears. It is said that the emperor was also a powerful general who charged in his early years. When he attacked Dong Zhuo, he led the way and charged forward, and fought the fierce Xiliang people who were scattered and were famous.

In this way, Su Yuan could clearly see that the emperor's body became more and more upright, and his body became stronger and stronger. He walked steadily like flying, and his voice was like a bell, full of energy.

It looks like a long life at first glance.

Anyway, they didn't know how the emperor thought of using these methods to train his body, but as long as the emperor was in good health, the eunuchs would be very happy.

Guo Peng not only demanded himself strictly, but also demanded Guo Jin very strictly. After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, Guo Jin basically had to do what he would do.

Guo Jin was sent to Pingyin County, north of Luoyang as the county magistrate. During his spare time, Guo Peng would also be sent by someone to guide him, asking him to learn to exercise his body, eat a high-protein diet, and prohibited from eating big oil and meat. He was basically not allowed to drink alcohol, which made Guo Jin very hard, but he dared not to do whatever he wanted.

Guo Jin has worked so hard, and the friends around him who are with him are not spared.

Although they are not asked to be as delicious as Guo Jin, they cannot eat or play, but seeing that the boss does so much exercise every day, in order to show their intimate relationship with the boss, they will naturally follow them.

So a group of muscular men gradually took shape in the county government.

It is conceivable that as long as Guo Peng is alive, he will not give up his strict requirements on Guo Jin.

In addition to daily exercise, we must not care less about wives and concubines. Although there is some performance element, it is very important for him to get the same rain and dew in harmony in the harem.

At present, the family forces represented by the concubines are important forces that he needs to unite. He must take some time to appease his wives and concubines, at least not make them feel too lonely. As their husbands, he always has to do something.

So sometimes, he really feels very tired.

At noon on December 30, Guo Peng held a grand banquet at Fengtian Hall, and invited all officials to have dinner at Fengtian Hall. The scene was unprecedentedly grand.

That night, Guo Peng held a family banquet in Fengtian Hall, and invited the entire Guo clan and his wives and concubines.

Several major families including Tian family, Xiahou family, Cao family, Cai family, Qiao family and other major families.

So Tian Feng, Guo Jia and Guo Hong and others had another meal in Fengtian Palace. From noon to night, they did not waste any waste and took advantage of it.

Guo Peng is still at this time

After this dinner, it was a pleasant five-day holiday.

The emperor also needs a vacation.

During these five days, Guo Peng relaxed for a rare moment. It was another heavy snow in Luoyang. Guo Peng took his wife and children to Guangchengyuan, the Hot Spring Palace, to enjoy the snow and soak in the hot spring.

Because he knew that Guo Peng liked to take a bath in the hot springs, officials from the Ministry of Works specially repaired Guangchengyuan in order to please Guo Peng.

They built a beautiful hot spring palace around the hot spring, surrounded the most beautiful and comfortable hot spring, and built a royal villa for Mr. Guo to enjoy.

Mr. Guo likes to soak his whole body in hot spring water and enjoy the relaxation feeling, which will make him feel the relaxation that he will never feel on weekdays.

I usually have a lot of battles every day, and I feel so tired that I dream about it. Only by lying in the hot spring can I feel real relaxation.

At the same time, there were trays floating on the water, and there were various drinks and exquisite side dishes that Guo liked but rarely ate usually.

Freshly squeezed juice with ice, seasoned drinks made with honey, and sweet rice wine made.

Several side dishes with chicken and mutton as main ingredients, fish, or seafood transported from the sea, are all full of flavor.
