Cai Yong's breathing stagnated and looked at Guo Peng.

For a moment, he had nothing to say.

"I noticed before that when the imperial court came to envoy for the second time, Mr. Cai seemed to have something to say to me. When the imperial court came to envoy for the third time, Mr. Cai seemed worried. What would Mr. Cai do this time?"

"I……"

Cai Yong opened his mouth, his brain was very confused, and he had no idea what to say.

"If I were not for me, could the people in Hebei in Central Plains live and work in peace? Can they resume production? Can they build their homes and pay taxes? Without me, can they have the current situation? Mr. Cai, isn't what I said the truth?"

Guo Peng was still staring at Cai Yong.

Cai Yong still couldn't say a word.

"The imperial envoy is less than two days away from Yecheng. Mr. Cai, in the last two days, does Mr. Cai have nothing to say to me?"

Guo Peng's strong statement caught Cai Yong off guard, and he had no idea what he should say or do. He was full of words, and he was all in his throat and couldn't say it.

After a while, Cai Yong barely calmed down his emotions and barely returned to normal.

"Zifeng, I don't mean that. I mean, this matter may be questionable. After all, this is the first time. This is the first time since the founding of the dynasty. There has never been a precedent before. Don't you need to think seriously?"

Cai Yong's face looked anxious.

Guo Peng's face remained unchanged.

"Didn't everyone think enough? Zhongde Gongtai Yuanhao and others have not thought enough? Cai Gong, I think everyone has thought very carefully and made a choice. They have made a decision, and I have also made a decision."

"Zifeng, you... have you decided?"

"Well, I've decided."

Guo Peng spoke seriously and said, "I accept the title of the court, and I accept the identity of the king."

“…”

Cai Yong's pupils shrank, and his expression was obviously shocked.

"Everyone in the world thinks I am qualified, Mr. Cai, they all think I am qualified. Does Mr. Cai think I am not qualified?"

"No...not that, Zifeng, listen to me, your achievements are so great that you deserve such a gift, but..."

"That's enough."

Guo Peng interrupted Cai Yong: "Mr. Cai, this is enough. No need to say anything else. As long as I am worthy and as long as my credit is worthy, that is enough. Is there anything worth discussing?"

Cai Yong opened his mouth and had nothing to say.

"The hearts of people are in me, the timings are in me, and the achievements are in me. The right time, place, and people are in harmony. Mr. Cai, this is irreversible. Mr. Cai’s worries are unnecessary in my opinion. Some people speculate on me with malicious intentions, but I don’t think that way at all. I hope Mr. Cai understands me, agrees with me, and helps me."

Guo Peng took a step forward and held Cai Yong's hand: "Just like eighteen years ago, Mr. Cai, I can tell you that I was eighteen years ago and I am now. I still have the ambitions at that time."

Guo Peng did not lie. He still has the ambitions of eighteen years ago.

It's just that there were some that didn't have eighteen years ago, but this sentence is true.

When it comes to Cai Yong, Guo Peng is still not willing to lie because he does have feelings for Cai Yong and has a deep relationship.

Although Cai Yong may still have doubts about this matter, he still looks a little unacceptable.

But he will definitely accept it.

"Two days later, when the imperial envoy arrives in Yecheng, Cai Yong can follow me to listen to the emperor's edict."

Guo Peng left this sentence and left.

Cai Yong looked at Guo Peng's back as he left, and in a trance, he seemed to be no longer able to see the shadow at that time.

Zifeng, hasn't it really changed?

Cai Yong stood alone in the yard, thinking about such a problem.

Compared with Cai Yong's entanglement, Zheng Xuan was much smarter. Guo Peng invited Zheng Xuan to participate in the event to welcome the emperor's envoy two days later, and Zheng Xuan happily agreed.

Compared to Cai Yong, who is more ideal, Zheng Xuan is undoubtedly much smarter than Zheng Yong, who has gone from a low-level minor official step by step to the present.

He never cited Guo Peng's decision-making, did not comment or comment, but just wrote books honestly and then taught in the school. He did not participate in anything else.

Guo Peng likes such an old scholar very much.

There is actually no need to say anything else, but Xun Yu seems to have some problems.

But Guo Peng knew that Xun Yu could not make any waves by himself, and his power alone was very limited.

Because the will of the entire Yingchuan scholars have been basically integrated, they basically support themselves.

As evidence, Xun You returned from Jingzhou and was about to come and surrender to him.

The Xun family is going to surrender completely.

Not only that, Xin Ping also recommended Chen Ji's son Chen Qun to Guo Peng, saying that Chen Qun is a father and is not very old, but he is calm and practical. He very much suggested that Guo Peng get to know Chen Qun and see if Chen Qun is available.

These people recommended each other and all of them to Guo Peng's eyes, which was very obvious.

The scholars from Yingchuan, a member of Yuzhou who used to occupy a huge share in the central government, began to change their strategies and instead defected to the world's largest warlord, Mr. Guo.

More than one person saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, more than one person saw that the Han Dynasty was difficult to save. Even the vested interests of the past had already predicted that the focus of the world would be moved to his Guo Zifeng's residence, and hurriedly expressed their loyalty.

Guo Peng knew very well that his wings were full, and as long as he didn't do it too much and became a fat man without taking a bite, everything would turn into what he wanted to see.

The one who takes the initiative is to take the initiative, not others.

No one can stop me.

This is the general trend.

Two days later, on August 13, the third year of the Han Xingping, the envoys of the Central Court of Hongnong arrived in Yecheng.

Guo Peng led all civil and military officials out of the city to greet him, put on incense tables and knelt on the ground to accept the emperor's edict, was granted the title of Duke, and founded the country and named Wei.

With the emperor's decree, he gave the nine tins of the symbol of authority, and ordered Guo Peng to establish the Duchy of Wei as fiefs and states, including the entire Jizhou territory, namely the Anping Kingdom, the Changshan Kingdom, the Zhongshan Kingdom, the Hejian Kingdom, the Qinghe Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom, the Julu County, the Bohai County, and the Wei County.

The Liu family of Anping, Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian, Qinghe, Zhao and other six countries were granted kings and renamed kings and changed the country to counties, and the six kings also granted other lands.

The State of Wei was a principality under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Han. The Emperor of Wei established a ancestral temple for worshiping the country and the ancestors of the Guo family. The position of Duke of Wei was hereditary. The Duke of Wei could set up a group of ministers and officials directly under the prime minister and the state, and the system and status were like the princes and kings of different surnames in the early Han Dynasty.

Guo Peng was appointed as the emperor's emperor's imperial edict and was granted the title of Duke of Wei, and was above the marquis and under the princes of the clan.

Taking Wei as a fief and implementing rule, we must pay taxes on time, report our duties to the emperor, and accept the emperor's edict to conquer the unjust officials in the world.

The dust settles.

On August 15, 2018, the third year of Xingping, Han Dynasty, Guo Peng officially promoted the Duke of Wei in Yecheng and established the State of Wei.
