People are at a loss and cannot reverse the impression that the emperor is too strong and seems to be immortal in a short period of time.

Ordinary people were favored by Guo Peng, and many places spontaneously built temples for him, hoping that he would always be the emperor and rule the Wei Empire forever.

They really hope that Guo Peng can protect them forever.

The ministers were much worse because Guo Peng always struggled with his ministers with full energy, which made the ministers feel that he was always so energetic and immortal, and was almost disfigured from Stockholm syndrome.

While feeling pain and enjoying, Guo Peng was almost schizophrenia.

But he actually said that he was going to spend his old age in peace.

Many people only realized this time.

Oh, it turns out that His Majesty the Emperor is also a human being and will feel tired.

This news was widely publicized by Guo Peng, placed on the announcement bar in the main square, in the newspaper reading bar in the city, and also published in the newspaper.

So the news spread quickly.

It spreads rapidly outside Luoyang City at a speed many times faster than ordinary news, and continues to spread to surrounding counties, stimulating the nerves of every person who hears the news.

Before the world responded, the ministers submitted a letter asking the emperor why he did this, and they didn't know whether it was sincere or false to ask the emperor not to abdicate.

They said that they were used to the rule of His Majesty the Emperor and to do things for His Majesty. His Majesty the Emperor is in full swing, so why should he abdicate early?

Some of them actually think that this is Guo Peng’s ultimate fishing tactic, and use this method to clean up a group of [treacherous] who hoped that he would abdicate early.

So even though I was extremely eager, I tried my best to express my [loyalty].

I beg the emperor not to abdicate.

But this time, Guo Peng was no longer interested in playing fishing tactics with them, and he was tired.

In order to respond to the doubts and opposition of the ministers, Guo Peng issued a second edict.

Feudal edict.

The edict declared that in order to cooperate with his great maritime policy and open up territory and living space outside of China, Emperor Guo Peng decided to enfeoff his son to establish a country overseas.

He wanted his son to be the first person to explore overseas territory, to set an example for all the people of Wei, to be the first in the world, to open up a greater living space for the entire nation, and to give people more opportunities to live better and more refined.

This is his last gift as the emperor to the world.

Subsequently, Guo Peng announced that his second son Guo Jun would lead troops to sea to explore new territory.

The territory was located in the Indian continent, and Guo Jin was named Duke, and the country was named Western Shu, and the country was named Duchy of the Kingdom, with full name Western Shu Duchy of the Kingdom, and Guo Jun was the first monarch of the Duchy of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of

The emperor will always stimulate their nerves in ways that their ministers could not imagine.

Just now, I announced my abdication, but I chose not to seal my sons overseas to open up new territory, establish the Duchy of Western Shu, and become the monarch.

It looks pretty good, but it sounds like the place.

overseas?

Is there another Western Shu Kingdom overseas?

Then Guo Peng explained that he wanted to enfeoff his sons, and the country name was basically arranged according to the country name in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

However, it cannot be a one-character country, it must be a two-character country, so as to demonstrate the difference between the Wei Empire and the fiefdom of the country as the sect leader.

The specific rules are arranged according to the location and the name of the small country in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Guo Peng conferred Guo Jun to establish a country in the southern part of the Indian continent. That direction belongs to Shu. In order to separate from the Shu area in China, he added the word "Xi" and established it as the Western Shu Kingdom.

The ministers understood.

That is like a place that is not available yet. Guo Jun needs to lead his troops to fight and build the Duchy of Western Shu from scratch so that he can be the monarch.

This country was not given to him for no reason, but was asked to fight him by himself. If there were indigenous people in the area, then fight against the indigenous people. If the indigenous people established a country, then fight against their country and establish their own country.

this……

Of course, more people don’t know where the continent Guo Peng mentioned is, and they ask people around them where the Western Shu Kingdom is, and then few people around them know.

In fact, most people don’t know, only a few people know. Guo Peng’s world map is still the secret of the core circle so far, and outsiders don’t know it at all.

Some things can be made public, while others cannot.

Especially when there are foreign envoys in Luoyang City, Guo Peng does not want the specific information on the world map to be leaked.

People don’t need to know where the Western Shu Kingdom is, they just need to know that there is such a place.

Afterwards, Guo Jun, who returned to Luoyang to restore his second prince after his business from Guanzhong, made a public appearance and met Guo Peng. At the public dynasty meeting, he accepted Guo Peng's title and the certificate handed to his duke and monarch by the crown prince Guo Jin, who was about to be emperor.

Yes, Guo Peng held a grand dynasty meeting, and officially appointed Guo Jun as the Duke of Western Shu at the grand dynasty, and appointed him as the monarch of the Duchy of Western Shu. He was a feudal state and was quasi-hered in his past.

The Crown Prince Guo Jin gave Guo Jun a token of the court on behalf of Emperor Guo Peng, representing the Duchy of Western Shu as a principality under the Wei Empire.

Later, Guo Jun thanked Guo Peng and swore that the Duchy of Western Shu would always be a principality under the jurisdiction of the Wei Empire, with the Wei Empire as the sect leader and the Wei Emperor as the sect leader, and always obeyed orders and never violated the rules.

The first overseas vassal state of the Wei Empire was born in such a situation at the dynasty meeting in Luoyang City of the Wei Empire.

As for when the Duchy of Western Shu was born as a whole, it still needs to be followed by Guo Jun's exploration and war.

I was lucky, and a large-scale Western Shu Principality might be established within ten years.

If you are not lucky, it may not be necessary.

Guo Peng decided to send Guo Jun out to open up territory before he officially abdicated and set the policy. The next few sons were handed over to Guo Jin to arrange as the new emperor.

Anyway, this policy was promulgated by Guo Peng, and Guo Peng has already taken the blame. Guo Jin does not have the political burden of [expelling brothers], but just acts on his father's order.

For some time, Guo Peng had been preparing necessary military supplies for Guo Jun. He had to prepare a combat force for him so that this combat force would set sail first, land in India, first open settlements in South India, and gradually expand the scope of settlements.

By making the settlement step by step, building the first decent city within three years, you can officially establish the country and establish the establishment of the Duchy of Western Shu.

How to fight afterwards is Guo Jun’s business.

Now that the army has almost prepared, Guo Peng decided to draw 1,000 elite Wei army regular troops as backbone, and recruit 9,000 soldiers who have completed the training, and handed over the army of 10,000 to Guo Jun.

They set out to seize territory first, and in the future, they would send the families of these 10,000 soldiers to India in batches as Guo Jun's earliest subjects.

First establish a city-state, open up fertile arable land around the city-state, have the most basic grain production capacity, and then build up the scale of the city-state.

After this step was completed, Guo Jun's country had the ability to further carry more population, and continued to migrate the population to India with administrative orders to open up new territory and expand the power of the Duchy of Western Shu to ensure the survival of the Duchy of Western Shu.

Let them produce themselves, recruit soldiers, train themselves, develop themselves, and reproduce themselves, so as to move towards a virtuous cycle.

After the arrangements were made, this grand ceremony was equivalent to seeing Guo Jun off.

So after the grand court meeting, Guo Jun went to the inner palace and met his mother Cao Lan and a group of siblings whom he had not met for a long time.

Cao Lan hugged Guo Jun and cried constantly, reluctant to let go of him. She kept reminding him to be careful and be careful, never show off and lead by example. No matter what, you must be good at protecting yourself and never have any problems.

The Duchy of Western Shu is not the most important thing, the most important thing is his life.

Guo Jun also cried and expressed his reluctance to leave his mother, and then said goodbye to his brothers and sisters one by one.

I don’t know when I will come back when I leave. Although according to the tradition of the vassal states, it is necessary for the vassal states to pay tribute to the emperor, because the distance is far, it is still a very serious question whether it can be returned.

If you wander for several months at sea and experience the threat of storms, it is not certain whether you can succeed. Of course, they still hope to return successfully, even if it is only once or twice.

So for some people, this separation may be a farewell forever.

When the matter was about to come, Cao Lan complained that Guo Peng was too cruel to his sons, but after this, Cao Lan had no choice.

I had to cook a table of dishes for Guo Jun myself, so that Guo Jun would finally eat the dishes made by his mother.

Guo Jun had a big appetite and ate all the dishes on the table, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cao Lan three times.

Saying goodbye to the most familiar heating and saying goodbye to the place where he grew up, Guo Jun reluctantly took away a handful of soil dug out of the back garden of the palace.

In the years to come, he can only express his attachment to his hometown through this handful of soil.

In the end, the person who bid farewell to Guo Jun and left Luoyang City was Guo Jin.

As a brother, Guo Jin felt that it was necessary to prepare a special farewell gift for Guo Jun.

"Ajun, I don't know when I will be able to return to meet you when I go there. I have nothing to give you to my brother, so I can only give you this set of iron armor."

Guo Jin asked the people around him to carry a big box and open it.

Guo Jun saw a heavy and exquisite iron armor shining with cold light inside.

"The iron is made of fine iron, and the ring-headed sword and spear cannot penetrate, and can also block arrows. As long as you put it on, you will surely ensure your battlefield safety."

Guo Jin introduced the purpose of this exquisite armor.

"Thank you brother."
