The news that Lu Su was appointed as the governor of Pingzhou was spread together with the demise of Gongsun clan and the pacification of Liaodong.

Suddenly, a wave of people who praise and flattery could not help but feel excited. They all expressed their congratulations to Guo Peng, praising Guo Peng's great achievements in sanctioning the separatist warlords.

Chen Lin, the leader of the imperial literati, took the lead in writing articles to praise Guo Peng, and mobilized his subordinates to sing hymns to Guo Peng. That praise...

It can be said to be stingy.

But it doesn't matter, it's not been a day or two for Chen Lin to be ridiculed.

He didn't care at all. Since he escaped from Luoyang and arrived in Qingzhou with Guo Peng, Chen Lin has already seen it.

What Guo Peng needs is his literary talent and his articles.

As long as he can continuously and stably output high-quality articles, as long as he can continue to write various excellent articles in accordance with Guo Peng's needs, he will be absolutely favored by Guo Peng and is very safe.

As long as he follows orders and writes an article, no political issue will be involved.

This guy is smart.

Therefore, when the country was established, Chen Lin was granted the title of Marquis of Sheyang, a third-class marquis, with a fief of 1,100 households. Not only could it be considered as the backbone in the entire meritorious official system, but it was the front.

This surprised many people.

With his good writing style and shamelessness, Chen Lin also became one of the prominent figures of the dynasty. The article written by a pen earned no less than some generals who led troops to fight and died.

Everyone knows that Guo Peng favors this corrupt scholar and everyone despises him, but whenever Chen Lin receives a generous reward, those who scold the most may not be envious.

There are also many people in the general who don’t understand Guo Pengwei and Chen Lin so favored him, and they can even give Chen Lin such good treatment.

Some generals who risked their lives to fight could not get the fiefs of more than a thousand households. Chen Lin had never been to the battlefield and could get such a high reward.

But a truly smart person will understand.

How much help did Chen Lin's pen and his literary sci-quan help Guo Peng? How much credit did Chen Lin's high-quality articles have made to Guo himself occupying the moral commanding heights.

The help of Guo Peng to transcend the gentry bureaucrats in soft power is no less than that of the army crushing the enemy in hard power.

Especially in the process of fighting for power and profit with the gentry, Chen Lin's pen brought him help that the army could not do.

The army is used to lift the table and is the ultimate weapon of violence.

Chen Lin is used to wrestle the arm.

Unless he really can't beat the arm and faces the danger of overturning, at the last moment, Mr. Guo will choose to use the army to turn over the table.

Flipping the table is not a good thing, just look at Dong Zhuo’s fate.

It is impossible for Mr. Guo to kill all the scholars to seize all the imperial power. He needs someone to help him govern the country. It is undeniable that more than 80% of the senior talents are from gentry.

So Guo asked Chen Lin to lead a team of royal literati to develop team tactics.

Sometimes when Chen Lin is not strong enough, the team will come up, collectively output articles, go on the front line, and go collectively to confront the enemy, making a furious mouth, so as to seize the high ground of public opinion for Mr. Guo.

Then he succeeded repeatedly and repeatedly turned danger into danger.

Guo Peng relies on the army to fight outside, and Chen Lin to fight inside.

Since his career, Guo Peng has suffered repeated speech crises due to his policies. Every time Guo Peng encounters a public opinion crisis, Chen Lin stands up and uses his pen to quarrel with the other party, confronts each other wildly, and swears to each other, so as to occupy the high ground of public opinion.

Mr. Guo knew the pain of losing the high ground of public opinion.

The ancients also had deep feelings about this, so they had a saying of verbal controversy.

Public opinion is no less powerful than swords.

If Chen Lin hadn't been fighting for years to occupy the high ground for public opinion, and constantly quarrel with others to attract firepower to confront each other crazy, Mr. Guo would have been shattered.

Can you still be awarded the title of famous generals and famous scholars?

joke!

This thousand, one hundred household fiefs were given to Chen Lin, not only did it not lose money, but it was a big profit for Mr. Guo.

With Chen Lin's continuous violence export and long-term suppression of the public opinion field, Guo's work will be less restrictive.

If you cannot make orders on the moral high ground and public opinion, it will not be so easy to accomplish something.

So it is not surprising that Chen Lin is favored at all.

Chen Lin's official position is the second auxiliary to the cabinet and one of Guo Peng's most trusted officials.

Of course, Chen Lin knew how good his administrative level was, so he basically did not appear in the cabinet. He led his team in his mansion to write articles and practice writing styles all day long, or drink, eat, recite poems and essays. He would only enter the palace to meet the saint when there was something to do.

He would listen to Guo Peng's request in person, and then write a lot of high-quality propositional essays, criticize the frequently occurring remarks that are unfavorable to Guo Peng. More often, he would come to debate with others in person, and he won many times.

If this continues, his title and fief will continue to rise.

This is certain.

This time, the high-quality articles Chen Lin output was as always, and were very popular with Guo Peng, so he ordered them to be spread so that people can know and beautify them well.

Although Chen Lin's articles are basically flattering, there are real things.

The most convincing lie is the real lie.

The so-called real lies are to use real arguments as support, to exchange concepts in arguments, achieve one's own goals, and thus to set up a rhythm.

Such lies are true and effective, and can easily create rhythm and resonate, and are not easily discovered to be lies.

Chen Lin is especially good at this principle, and writing articles and lying is familiar with it.

But his lies are also supported by Mr. Guo’s real achievements. Without real achievements, how can there be real lies?

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in turmoil, warlords have ruled, and the people have lived in poverty.

Guo Peng rose up to join the army for 20 years, defeated the warlords of the world and restored the stability of the world. Such merits were also first-class among all dynasties.

Why can't I use it for a big blow?

Isn't this true?

This is of course true.

But how to play it out later is that subjective emotions will dominate.

For Chen Lin, if Rainbow Far, do you want money? You are so proud of yourself and make a living. In short, one sentence - make the emperor happy!

Chen Lin does this, and his team does this, too.

Guo Peng was of course happy, very happy.

Because the last warlord in troubled times who were of his contemporaries was wiped out, the final threat also disappeared.

He became the winner who stood out in the end.

From a legal perspective, social perspective, and historical perspective, Guo has become the impeccable lord of the world.

This made Mr. Guo feel very happy and made Mr. Guo feel boundlessly happy.

His power, his prestige, and his control over the world have been further enhanced.

This is a great thing.

More interesting things are more than that.

On December 16, 2018, the day after Guo Peng learned that Liaodong was conquered.

Zhang Jin, the former governor of the Han Dynasty, surrendered and expressed his willingness to surrender to Guo Peng, hand over the place where the address was handed over, and included it in the rule of the Guo-Wei Empire to complete national unification.
