People today mostly understand the history of the late Qin and early Han dynasties in Liu Bang himself and the three heroes of the early Han dynasties.

It is probably because the Lu family launched a rebellion after Empress Lu's death, so the official historical books deliberately downplayed the role of Lu family in Liu Bang's uprising.

However, at that time, the influence of the Lü family in the Liubang group was by no means comparable to the so-called three heroes.

Whether in the military or political circles, the children of the Lü family have extremely strong influence and control. They are the basic foundation for Empress Lu to be regent after Liu Bang's death.

This is concentrated in the fact that Liu Bang wanted to establish Liu Ruyi as the crown prince but ultimately failed.

This is not because the so-called Four Elders of Shangshan appeared beside Liu Ying, which allowed Liu Bang to see the appeal of the prince himself, but the appearance of Four Elders of Shangshan made Liu Bang realize that the Lu family's foreign relatives group had even united the heroes such as Xiao He and Zhang Liang.

The courtiers reached an agreement.

What Liu Ying represents behind him is the wishes of the entire Lu family group and the heroes. If Liu Bang wants to establish Liu Ruyi, he will be against everyone, and Liu Ruyi will not receive any support.

That's why Liu Bang was helpless and said to Liu Ruyi's mother, Concubine Qi, "After I die, you will be her subject."

The fact that Liu Ruyi was appointed as the crown prince was more likely to be a test by Liu Bang himself when he realized that he had not had much time to do, and to test whether the strength of the Lu Group had exceeded control.

This is indeed the result.

So Liu Bang began to worry that Liu Ying, who had a cowardly personality, could not defend the Han Dynasty.

After thinking about it over and over again, Liu Bang thought of the White Horse Alliance, and with the help of the power of heaven and earth and the prestige of his founding emperor, he left a life-saving talisman for the Liu family.

The White Horse Alliance did not show its effectiveness at the beginning.

After Zhu Lu launched a rebellion and the heroes quelled the rebellion, and after Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne, the effectiveness of the White Horse Alliance was truly reflected.

The White Horse Alliance was a rule set by Liu Bang, and this rule was to use Zhu Lu's blood as a sacrifice and truly took effect.

From then on, the rule that the Liu family could not be called king, and that the military achievements would not be granted a title of marquis became the highest constitution and the highest contract of society that ran through the four hundred years of history of the Han Dynasty.

Guo Peng used to try to challenge this rule, but he succeeded at one point, but the outcome was not good.

Guo Peng also instigated Yuan Shu tore up the rule directly and then deposed him by himself.

The outcome of the Lu Family Group, Wang Mang and Yuan Shu is tantamount to adding stronger binding force to the White Horse Alliance, and truly becoming the life-saving talisman of the Liu Family.

The four hundred years of inertia, social conventions, and the status of the highest constitution jointly created the almost sacred and inviolable dignity of the White Horse Alliance.

The scholars at that time felt about the White Horse Alliance and the current people's feelings about the rule of "killing people to repay their lives, owing debts and paying them."

Everyone knew very well that the Han Dynasty had reached its end, and everyone knew very well that the Han Dynasty was maintained by Guo Peng alone.

However, when Guo Peng really began to touch the White Horse Alliance, the feeling of terror still appeared.

Guo Peng's power, Guo Peng's prestige, and Guo Peng's ability all impressed him, so his Wei officials supported him out of politically correct ideas.

The non-Wei official group did not think so much, so they still invited the invisible holy object of the White Horse Alliance to conduct the final questioning of Guo Peng.

Guo Peng has made a lot of preparations for this. He has been preparing for many years and has been pursuing hope for many years. He instigated Yuan Shu to tear down the White Horse Alliance to become emperor. He first laid the groundwork for the public, and even burned Hongnong in a fire, causing the Han Central to ashes to ashes and let prophecies fly all over the sky, thus constantly attacking the presence of the Han Dynasty.

Even so, the White Horse Alliance was still standing in front of Guo Peng, becoming a more powerful obstacle than the emperor himself.

So when he learned about the enthusiastic discussion of the White Horse Alliance in Yecheng's public opinion field, Guo Peng couldn't help but start to imagine.

What kind of mental journey did Cao Cao go through when he destroyed the White Horse Alliance and became king?

What Xun Yu wanted to protect might not be the Han Dynasty itself, but the Supreme Constitution, which was deeply rooted in the souls of the Han Dynasty subjects, and indirectly protected the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang, you are really amazing.

It's been four hundred years, and you're still stopping me.

Defeat all visible enemies, and the invisible enemy finally surfaced.

Guo Peng leaned against his soft couch and frowned and thought about every step ahead.

His subordinates were all tamed, and he had strong binding and control over his subordinates. The army was loyal to him. The army absolutely supported him, and his confidants absolutely supported him.

However, not everyone can ignore the power of the White Horse Alliance.

I think this is what it is, when things come to an end, what should it be or what.

Compared to being called Gonghe and the new emperor, perhaps this time is the biggest and final challenge.

Those who will not jump out this time will not jump out in the future to oppose Guo Peng’s claim to be emperor.

The person who jumped out this time must have made the decision to share life and death with the Han Dynasty.

Come on, the final battle has begun.

I want to see if it is your life hard or my steel knife hard.

The White Horse Alliance will end in my hands!

Mr. Guo took a deep breath and met countless challenges with his supreme prestige and power.

The Wei official group is their most reliable assistant. Their power needs to be demonstrated by their existence and their struggles to continuously expand.

The main force in destroying the White Horse Alliance was not Guo himself, but the Wei official group and the powerful public opinion power they represented.

They are all forces that must be united.

Guo Peng needed to rely on them to consolidate his status and power, and then launched a fierce public opinion war to completely tear the amulet left by Liu Bang to his descendants.

So Guo Peng immediately instructed the royal literati group led by Chen Lin to start a public opinion war in Yecheng.

The battle to become king has begun.

Guo Peng gave Chen Lin a guide to discuss Guo Peng's achievements and the achievements and protection of the Han Dynasty in the fifteen years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to discuss whether Guo Peng has the conditions and qualifications to become king.

Chen Lin wrote seven articles in a row to praise Guo Peng, trying to use various methods to prove that Guo Peng can be king, and also tried to discuss whether the White Horse Alliance has existed for four hundred years.

This sparked a heated discussion in the public opinion field in Yecheng.

Everyone was discussing, discussing which one of the seemingly illusory White Horse Alliance or the fifteen-year achievements in supporting the Han Dynasty was more meaningful.

Everyone in the world knows these things.

Without Guo Peng's protection, the Han Dynasty would have been over many years ago, and Yuan Shu had long ruled the world.

If you want to talk about the White Horse Alliance, it was Guo Peng who personally protected it. It was Guo Peng who killed Yuan Shu and Guo Peng who supported the Han Dynasty to this day. Can't he be king with such great contributions?

In fact, for officials, at least for middle-level and above officials, they know this kind of thing well.

This matter was led by Guo Peng himself. What imperial edict can the little emperor issue?

Isn’t it still Guo Peng’s own meaning?

Guo Peng wanted to advance to the King of Wei, challenged the social constitution that had been in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, challenged Liu Bang, and reached the top of his ministers.

The Wei officials strongly supported it and proposed to abandon the White Horse Alliance and to make Guo Peng reach the top of his ministers, saying that this was what Guo Peng deserved.

The civil servant headed by Cheng Yu and the military general headed by Cao Ren jointly submitted a statement to Guo Peng, strongly suggesting that he would follow the emperor's wishes to advance to the King of Wei. From this matter, we can see that Guo Peng's becoming King of Wei is actually a foregone conclusion.

Just like when Guo Peng wanted to be Duke Wei.

Someone tried to stop it, but it was impossible to succeed.

Therefore, when the little emperor's imperial edict came to Yecheng from Luoyang, the civil servants and generals were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood and collectively expressed their respect for Guo Peng to advance to the King of Wei.

But Guo Peng refused.
