While Pang Tong was frightened, Sima Hui suddenly slapped the desk in the inn and shouted "Not good".

"Shui Mirror, what's wrong with you?"

Pang Degong, who was sitting opposite him, was surprised.

"Oh no! Brother, I'll call Shi Yuan Feng Chu in front of the emperor!"

"So what? We all call Shi Yuan this way, and it has been like this a long time ago. Kong Ming is still Wolong, so he is not reused? What's the matter..."

Pang Degong suddenly widened his eyes, his mouth slightly opened, and he couldn't speak.

"The emperor... the emperor's name is..."

Sima Hui nodded nervously.

"Zi Feng!"

"broken!"

Mr. Pang De shivered and beat the tea bowl on his hand to the ground and broke it.

"I seemed to have talked about Feng Chu before. At that time... the emperor didn't say that, maybe he didn't care?"

Sima Hui said busyly.

"This is hard to say."

Pang Degong wiped the cold sweat that appeared on his forehead, his face was full of anxiety, and said, "I hope the emperor will not care, otherwise it will be a bad thing."

When the two were very anxious in the inn, Pang Tong knelt on the ground of Qinzheng Hall, and was sweating all over.

"I...I don't know...I am guilty!"

Pang Tong knelt on the ground, his body trembled slightly, and his heart was flustered.

Unexpectedly, the alias that the elders raised to praise their fame actually offended the emperor's name and violated the emperor's taboo!

Pang Tong was very upset and was angry about why he didn't discover it in advance.

Now……

what to do?

The emperor didn't speak, and the silence made Pang Tong feel uncomfortable and painful as if he had been stabbed by a needle.

He was very eager for Guo Peng to say something so that he would not be so painful.

So Guo Peng adapted to his wish.

It felt almost done, Guo Peng laughed loudly, then bent down and helped Pang Tong up.

"Okay, okay, you just came to Luoyang, but you didn't know that when Gu ascended the throne, he issued an order to show the world so that people in the world would not have to avoid taboos because of Gu's name and name.

Whether it is Peng or Feng, they are all words that have existed since ancient times. They are not alone but only. In order to alone, people in the world cannot use these two words. Gu thinks this is not a good thing."

After hearing Guo Peng's words, Pang Tong didn't react for a long time.

After finally reacting, I felt a sensation of relaxation all over my body, and my little heart that was beating was gradually calming down.

"Your Majesty is kind and forgive me for offending me, I... I am so grateful!"

"Okay, okay, stop saying these words. I will make the purpose first. If you don't know later, those who don't know will be guilty, and I will not punish you."

Guo Peng waved his hand, returned to his seat and sat down. Looking at Pang Tong, he said, "You are called Feng Chu. Gu remember that Zhuge Liang, the minister in Gu's cabinet, also came from Jingzhou and was named Wolong.

He was orphan in the cabinet to do business. He is now assisting the Yangzhou governor in Jiangdong to handle government affairs. According to the Yangzhou governor, he is smart in his work and never misses. You are as famous as Zhuge Liang. Could it be that he has the talent of conquering the world?"

Pang Tong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shook his head repeatedly.

"I met Kong Ming a young man, and was good friends. I studied and learned from my studies and careers together. I had the friendship of classmates. My elders praised him. I regarded Kong Ming as a lie-in-law dragon and a minister as a phoenix. These are all the words of the family. I dare not be arrogant and I cannot bear the reputation of conquering the world."

"You are honest."

Guo Peng laughed: "The former Emperor Wu of Han performed filial and honest talents, and was originally a candidate for the country. But today, some people with only false reputations can reach a high position by relying on false reputations, so that the world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not old. Everyone pursues false reputations and does not pursue business. Wouldn't it be a move to lose the foundation and chase the end?"

Pang Tong said it was.

"However, even if there are people who deceive the world and steal the reputation, there are also people with both talent and virtue and true name. Gu's subordinates have great reputation and strong abilities. They are deeply trusted by Gu. Gu hopes that you are one of them. Gu hopes that you can bear the name of Feng Chu and not let Gu down."

Guo Peng's words immediately made Pang Tong's fighting spirit deep in his heart aroused.

There is also a sense of glory, a sense of glory that shares the same word with the emperor, at least, this is something Zhuge Liang does not have.

Then there is a sense of responsibility, a deep sense of responsibility, sharing the same word with the emperor and being allowed by the emperor. What a glory this is?

Pang Tong was immediately ambitious and vowed to do his best to do his best to prove that he did not share the same word with the emperor for nothing!

"Your Majesty regards me like this, how dare I not die for you?"

"good."

Guo Peng smiled and said, "Then, there are two places that I suggest you go. One is the cabinet, which is in charge of government affairs. Zhuge Kongming handles government affairs in the cabinet. If you make good friends with him, maybe the cabinet is where you want to go.

The second is the staff station, which provides advice for the army's war. Whenever there is a war, they will discuss military operations with Gu to take charge of military affairs. Both of them are close to the official office and work in the palace. Which one are you willing to go?"

Pang Tong thought for a moment.

"I am willing to go to the staff."

"Do you prefer military affairs?"

Guo Peng asked, "I thought you would go to the cabinet and serve as an official with Zhuge Kongming. He would enter the cabinet first so that he could take care of you."

"I read military books a lot in the past and liked to read military books. I would rather engage in military affairs than government affairs. Moreover, I am about the same age as Kong Ming, but I am just classmates and do not need Kong Ming's care. I am lucky to share the same word with Your Majesty and swear to make some achievements to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

Guo Peng noticed that Pang Tong frowned, and immediately said that he did not have such a good relationship with Zhuge Liang, and he just wanted to rely on himself, not on others.

This can also vaguely tell the meaning of competition.

Interesting, even more interesting.

Guo Peng nodded and then ordered Pang Tong to be directly recruited into the staff station and asked him to be an intern staff officer.

Just as the war is in progress, we can get familiar with the war with one side and be lucky, and maybe we can catch up with the next wave of internship staff to go to the army for on-site inspection.

Except for Pang Tong, Guo Peng did not summon other people from Jingzhou, and it only took three days like this.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, officials from the Ministry of Rites and eunuchs came to the palace to explain the etiquette and various key points of surrender to Liu Cong and others, and asked Liu Cong and others to change into prisoners' clothes, tied up and surrender to Guo Peng.

This is not an insult, but a ritual process.

After the ceremony, Guo Peng sent someone to loosen their ties, give them clothes, and let them wear them. This was to forgive their sins and accept them.

Liu Cong followed the courtesy, and the ministers of Jingzhou who followed also changed into the clothes worn by sinners, followed Liu Cong to surrender, and then waited for Guo Peng to pretend to forgive.

The etiquette began before noon, and Liu Cong and others were taken to the palace, knelt down outside the Fengtian Hall, offered a surrender to Guo Peng in the Fengtian Hall sincerely.

Guo Peng took over the surrender of Liu Cong and others, sent someone to untidy the bondage for Liu Cong, and allowed Liu Cong and others to go to the palace to meet him, and kneel down to thank him.

It was not until this time that Guo Peng and Liu Cong met for the first time, and this first meeting was so dramatic.

The ceremony of surrender was very grand. There were many Wei ministers and Wei generals present. From the Fengtian Hall to outside the Fengtian Hall, Liu Cong and others were wearing prisoners' clothes and were looked at by these Wei ministers and Wei generals with juggling eyes. The feeling in their hearts was very complicated.

This time, not only was Liu Cong asked to do this, but the surrendered ministers who surrendered together were also asked to do this. Kuai Liang, Fu Xun and others, Wang Wei and Su Fei and others were also asked to do this. It was absolutely equal and had no intention of discrimination.

Some people never thought that Guo Peng would ask them like this, so they were quite siblings and their heads were deeply lowered, for fear that others would see their faces clearly.

Mrs. Cai was not treated like this because of Liu Cong's request, but she also knelt down and surrendered. Liu Qi was the most innocent one. She did nothing and was taken with her to kneel down and surrender.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, they knelt down and expressed their regrets and pain to the Emperor of the Great Wei, hoping to get the forgiveness of the Emperor of the Great Wei and forgive their sins.

Guo Peng sat high in the upper head, and wherever he realized, he could only vaguely see those who wanted to surrender. His heart was filled with joy, full of high pleasure, and the pleasure of holding the power of life and death. This feeling was exactly what he had gained from his years of struggle.

Cui Yan, Minister of Rites, presided over the entire process of surrender, read out Liu Cong's surrender statement, and announced the edict from Guo Peng to them in response to Liu Cong and others.

Guo Peng forgives their sins, and allows them to surrender for their voluntary surrender, and grants them positions and official positions.

Then the four of Shangshu Ling Cheng Yu, the Censor Guo Hong, the Staff Ling Xizhong, and the Cabinet Chief Cao Cao stepped forward together to represent Guo Peng to untidy the ties for the surrendered ministers in Jingzhou.

Then the eunuchs in the inner court stepped forward, took off their prison uniforms, threw them away, and set fire to show their farewell to the past and their prospects for the future. On behalf of the emperor, they gave them clothes to wear them and welcomed a new future.

This process is also a very standard process, full of ritual and the winners’ choice of losers.

Liu Cong was frightened and heard that Guo Peng appointed him as the Marquis of Guiyi with a fief of 2,000 households, and was given a mansion in Luoyang to live in and support his mother Cai. He felt a little relieved.
