The emperor's edict came very suddenly.

No one knows what happened during this period.

No one knows why Cheng Yu didn't become the Shangshu Ling and turned to become the Sili School Captain.

No one knows why Guo Peng allowed this to happen.

There is no doubt that everyone knows that Shangshuling is already a vase position, and it is actually no different from having or not, and Cheng Yu is such a vase.

But suddenly, the vase disappeared, and Cheng Yu took on the position of Sili Captain as if he was reborn from the ashes.

The former Sili School Guard Guoyuan was evaluated by Guo Peng as "cowardly and incompetent, but had nothing but integrity" and was dismissed from office.

In other words, Guoyuan has no corruption and cannot find the problem cleanly, otherwise Mr. Guo would definitely not make him turn over.

Once upon a time, the appointment of the Sili School Commander from Guoyuan was one of the symbols of the emperor and scholars governing the world together, and it was also a symbol of the incompleteness of imperial power.

Now, Guo Yuan’s resignation naturally shows that the emperor no longer needs to rule the world with scholars.

The scholar has failed, and the emperor has become the well-deserved number one person in the world. He does not need to share power with anyone and govern the world together. His power is complete.

Power belongs to the emperor, and the nature of power that anyone holds has changed. It is not brought by one's position, not given by heaven, nor is it born with it, but a gift from the emperor.

Only when the emperor gives it to you will have power. If the emperor doesn’t give it to you, you can’t rob it.

This is probably the monarchy.

Therefore, a powerful position like the Sili School Captain naturally needs to choose his trusted and liked confidant to take office, so that he can launch a political storm at any time to attack people who do not suit his wishes.

There have been many speculations about who will succeed the position of Sili School Captain, and some even speculate that the emperor would let Cao Cao go from the position of chief minister of the cabinet to serve as Sili School Captain.

But no one thought that Cheng Yu would do this position.

Old trees bloom?

Dead trees come to spring?

Cheng Yu rises again?

What's going on?

Cheng Yu, who gradually lost power and status in the third and fourth years of Yande, was reborn from the ashes and regained power after completely losing power in the seventh and eight years of Yande.

It is also a powerful position like the Sili School Captain who supervises local officials in the capital and all officials of the Luoyang imperial court.

This position is absolutely impossible to continue without the trust and support of the emperor.

Hasn’t Cheng Yu lost the emperor’s trust?

Isn’t it that he has been penetrated into the abyss by the emperor and is about to be doomed?

Why did it suddenly become re-emerge?

His Majesty the Emperor once again showed his unpredictable political style. No one knew what His Majesty the Emperor would do after he did one thing.

The previous series of operations made people feel that he was proud after reaching the peak of his civil and military skills, so he even had the intention to abdicate, which promoted Tian Feng's departure and Cao Ren's retirement.

But who would have thought that the incident of Cheng Yu becoming the Sili Captain once again reversed the public opinion trend.

Who said the emperor was going to abdicate?

The emperor obviously had no such plan!

He even asked Cheng Yu to be the Sili School Captain.

Although public opinion does not know what method Cheng Yu used to regain Guo Peng's trust, it is certain that Cheng Yu really got Guo Peng's trust.

In this way, the heads of the three departments, who were specifically responsible for punishing officials, were fully controlled by the emperor, and all three were already the emperor's own people.

The emperor can really follow the rules by lying in the words of the heavenly constitution.

With the large number of corruption in the central and local areas that grew under the Qingzhang Land Action, the reason why Cheng Yu took over the Sili Captain was about to emerge.

Cheng Yu's subsequent actions did not disappoint Guo Peng's trust, the power of the Sili Captain and the speculations of all officials.

After almost half a year of land clearance, the land clearance campaign not only quelled a large number of rebellions by rebels, but also produced the real number of land and tenants owned by many powerful and wealthy people.

Those who rebelled were defeated, but those who did not rebel were defeated. Those real officials, more terrifying than those small and medium-sized tyrants, were not defeated.

They are small in number but high in quality, and many members of the tribe serve as officials in the central government.

In order to crack down on small and medium-sized local tyrants, Guo Peng adopted a compromise policy and pardoned the families of central officials. As long as he reported to the central government and apologized for guilt, he would be deemed innocent.

So the central government was stabilized, the foundation was laid for quelling local rebellions, and there was no full war against the central and local governments.

But in this way, the small and medium-sized tyrants in the local area have basically been destroyed, but there are still large manors with a small number but huge scale.

The estates of central officials and the estates of military officers were not affected.

For example, Cao Hong, a manor with 200,000 acres of land, and a tenant household with 10,000 households, was so powerful that once he wanted to rebel, he could raise an army of 10,000 people in minutes.

This is a huge threat to centralization.

Especially the owner of this large manor is still an official in the court. He has power and power. With his financial and human resources, he is simply a nameless and realistic reduction of the princes and kings.

Although the scale is not large and the number of people is not large, the problem is quite significant because it involves central officials and central power.

The Wei Empire had completed centralization, and the world's power was in the central government and in the emperor. Central officials followed the emperor's will to take power, which was also allowed by itself.

They can use power anytime, anywhere, but the emperor's surveillance is not always possible to keep up with it.

In such a situation, it is inevitable that officials use their power to provide convenient land acquisition for tribe members in the local area, or simply use tribe members to make white gloves.

Before the rebellion of the powerful, the eunuchs in the inner court and the Qingzhang team discovered many problems in this regard. After digging deep, a large number of powerful officials in the court who held power were involved.

Then, after being severely disciplined by Guo Peng, Linzi Camp began to run quickly again, trying to win back the emperor's trust.

They placed the fact that a large number of central officials used their power to collude with each other to annex the land in front of Guo Peng, which further proved the fact that the families of central officials who have used their power to annex the land in the past few years.

Among them, some of the scholars, officials and their families were caught by Guo Peng in the previous Luoyang Catastrophe, which was considered indirect punishment.

However, there is still a large number of families of scholars and officials who have escaped accurately before, and many of their families have committed land annexation.

The nature passed down from the pre-Qin era cannot be changed overnight.

It will take a lot of time to let them look out...

The facts of annexation of land are specifically explained in the confessions of central officials.

Then, in front of everyone, Guo ordered the past to be spared and to stabilize people's hearts and attack the rebel majority.

I thought their confession would be honest, but judging from the situation of Linzi camp, there were still considerable missed behaviors.

This angered Guo Peng.

It seems that no matter how fierce the killing is or how powerful it is, it is not enough to make some people realize the fear and reality of death.

Therefore, at the moment when the rebellion was quelled, Mr. Guo could have freed up his hands to deal with this group of people who even wanted to deceive the emperor's final tolerance.

Since this is the case, only death can redeem the sin of deceiving the king.

To kill these people, Guo Peng did not want to take action himself. The emperor could not always attack the ministers himself. That was too naked and not inconvenient for the emperor to be the only one.
