At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 416

When Cheng Yu came outside Guo Peng's study, he found that there was no attendant at the door of Guo Peng's study.

Of course, there was no light in the study, and it was dark. It seemed that Guo Peng was not in there.

But Cheng Yu suddenly developed a strong sense of déjà vu.

He felt as if time had flown backwards, back to that special night in the fourth year of Zhongping, the night when he and Guo Peng truly formed a life-and-death agreement.

Cheng Yu often recalled what happened that night in his dreams, and Cheng Yu always remembered what Guo Peng said that night, and never forgot it.

In 15 years, it seems like a flick of a finger. What happened 15 years ago seems to be just yesterday, as if it was last night.

Is the oath made on that day finally fulfilled today?

Cheng Yu's heart suddenly became hot.

It's still the kind of fire that can't be extinguished when it burns.

So Cheng Yu took a few steps forward, pushed open the door of Guo Peng's study, entered the dark room, turned around and closed the door, then took a few steps to the right, and knelt down on the ground.

"My lord, Yu is here."

Cheng Yu's eyes have not had time to adapt to the darkness in the room, but this does not hinder his actions, because he is convinced that this is the case, and such actions have appeared countless times in his dreams in the past 15 years. no stranger.

"Zhongde, you're here."

Guo Peng's voice sounded.

"Yu is here, my lord, will the wish I made 15 years ago come true today?"

Cheng Yu's voice trembled a little.

"Ah, it's going to come true, Zhong De, it's been 15 years, our wish is going to come true."

Guo Peng stood up, walked to Cheng Yu's side, and helped Cheng Yu up.

Cheng Yu's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the room, and he saw the silhouette of Guo Peng in the darkness.

"My lord, it's been 15 years."

"Zhongde, it's been 15 years."

Guo Peng held Cheng Yu's hand tightly, and Cheng Yu also held Guo Peng's hand tightly.

"15 years ago, I was only 22 years old. Now, I am 37 years old. Zhong De, time is really a terrible thing."

"My lord is only 37 years old, and Yu...is 61 years old. Sometimes Yu really worries that he won't see that day. My lord, is that day really coming?"

"It's coming, it's really coming, really, this time it's real, Zhong De, I'm going to be the emperor."

Guo Peng smiled and hugged Cheng Yu fiercely.

Cheng Yu was a little dazed by this hug, and it took him a while to react, but he couldn't hold it back, and tears welled up from his eyes.

After a while, Guo Peng let go of Cheng Yu and lit a candle.

When the candle was lit, Cheng Yu and Guo Peng could see each other's faces clearly.

Guo Peng took the candle in his hand and handed it to Cheng Yu.

"My lord, is this?"

Cheng Yu was a little confused.

"Zhongde, take it and light the candles in the house."

Guo Peng said: "Back then, we were all small people. I was just a lieutenant Hu Karasuma, and you were just my subordinates. At that time, when we talked about such things, it was just nonsense. Of course, we had to be dark. I dare not let you People know it, but it's different now.

I am the King of Wei, and you are the Minister of the State of Wei. If we stomp our feet, the world will tremble three times. In today’s world, no one can compete with me. Being the ruler of the world, what else is there to be afraid of? "

It turned out to be the case.

Cheng Yu smiled, took a deep breath, and nodded.

"The minister obeys the order."

Cheng Yu took the candle and lit all the candles in the room one by one. The candles lit up one by one, and the room became brighter and brighter.

When the candles were fully lit, the whole room was brightly lit, and everything was so clear.

Cheng Yu returned the candle to Guo Peng with both hands, and Guo Peng took the candle and stared at it for a while.

"Zhongde, do you know why I want to be emperor so much?"

"The lofty ambition in the heart of the lord can only be satisfied by the throne of the emperor."

Cheng Yu's face was filled with passion: "Only by becoming the emperor can the lord realize his ambitions, achieve great achievements, shock the world, and be admired by future generations!"

"To do this, you don't have to be an emperor. Most of the people who have been famous in history since ancient times are not emperors."

Guo Peng smiled and shook his head.

"The lord..."

Cheng Yu was a little puzzled, but felt that what Guo Peng said was right, so he asked and answered: "My lord, do you have bigger things to do? You can't reach the position of the emperor?"

"You could say the same."

Guo Peng nodded, and raised the candle in his hand: "When I was just a captain of Gokarasuma, the candlelight I lit could only illuminate me alone, and at most, illuminate you around me. It cannot illuminate more people, but when I become the emperor, the candlelight I light can illuminate the whole world."

Chapter 748 Seven It's time for me to make the real identity of this big thief public

Cheng Yu didn't quite understand what Guo Peng said.

Lighting candles to illuminate the world, is it to show that Guo Peng's power can overwhelm the world?

If understood in this way, it seems correct.

Cheng Yu understood it in this way.

Because the emperor's power really needs to coerce the world.

"My lord has become the emperor, no matter what I do, it will affect the whole world. A mere candle will make a big difference in my lord's hands."

Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"Yes, a mere candle, as long as it is in the hands of the emperor, can emit light that illuminates the whole world."

Guo Peng looked at the candle in his hand, looked at the flickering fire, all the thoughts in his heart were beyond human understanding.

Cheng Yu didn't understand what he said, he knew it very well.

It is also impossible to understand.

Because he didn't understand what the candlelight meant.

When he was just a lieutenant Go Karasuma, the light he emitted was weak, not enough to illuminate the world.

It was the same when he was the prefect of Shanggu County.

It was the same when he was the governor of Qingzhou.

The same is true when the master of two states is the master of five states.

Until he eliminated Yuan Shu and became the overlord of the Central Plains, the light he emitted was not enough to illuminate the entire world.

until now.

In this era, 90.00% of people are illiterate and cannot shine, but those who can shine will never let the light shine on everyone.

They just use a black cloth to cover all the people who don't emit light, let them struggle to survive in the darkness, and then hide themselves on the other side to shine, to illuminate themselves, drink and do drugs, let loose, and write a preface to the Lanting Collection , Wrote all over the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Ignored the dense bones covered by the black cloth.

So for 400 years, there was no light in this world.

Not a single light came out.

But now, the light from the candle in Guo Peng's hand is enough to illuminate the world.

Guo Peng is very clear.

No one will take the initiative to shine, and he is the only one who can shine and is willing to shine.

Perhaps he is the only one after all, and there will be no second one. In the entire era, there will be no second person who is willing to shine.

But even so, he wants to let this light really exist, let all Li Shu really feel the existence of this light, so that they can never forget this feeling.

Then leave the tinder, leave hope, and let the light have the possibility to shine again.

Guo Peng put the candle in his hand on the table and turned to look at Cheng Yu with a smile on his face.

"Zhongde, Sun Quan's son has been captured alive, and the destruction of the Wu Kingdom is a foregone conclusion. What Zhongde thinks the emperor of Han should reward me for his great achievements in pacifying Jiangdong?"

"Only the throne can be rewarded!"

Cheng Yu didn't hesitate at all.

The ambition that cannot see the light, after being bathed in the light, has achieved a great ambition.

"What is Zhongde going to do?"

Guo Peng sat down and asked Cheng Yu to sit down as well, ready to hear Cheng Yu's action plan.

Over the years, Cheng Yu has imagined today's scene countless times, and the so-called action plan has already been rehearsed in his mind a hundred or eighty times, and he is already familiar with it.

Now, he has no worries and can speak freely.

"My lord is already at the top of my lordship. I have no rewards and seals. I have come to this point. What should I get? Yu thought that no one would be ignorant. The Emperor of Han is under the control of the lord. The disciples have been swept away by the lord.

As long as the lord is willing, he can be rewarded by the Emperor of Han as an excuse to lead civil servants and military generals to Luoyang, accept the abdication of Emperor Han in Luoyang, proclaim himself emperor, change the name of the country, change the color of clothes, and rule the world. Isn't it natural? thing? "

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Actually, during this period of time, in the Shangshutai, Yu has heard more than one private discussion about such things. As far as Yu heard the rumors, someone has already proposed to take the initiative Biao respectfully invites the lord to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

"Oh?"

Guo Peng smiled and asked, "Are there many people like this?"

"Not a few."

"Zhongde intends to start with this?"

"Yes, with this as the beginning, Yu is willing to be the pioneer."

Cheng Yu's face was full of excitement.

Guo Peng laughed out loud.

"This is not a battlefield. Where did the vanguard come from? And even if it is a vanguard, why does Cheng Lingjun charge in person at the age of 60?"

"In such a battlefield, even if Yu is 80 years old, he still has to be the vanguard! Overcoming obstacles for the Lord!"

Cheng Yu's will was very firm, and he said, "Whether it's a good name or a bad name, as long as the lord can be the emperor, Yu will not be in vain to come to this world!"

What else can I say?

This veteran who chose to follow him from the very beginning, perhaps the greatest wish is to see the goal of 17 years of struggle realized?

In fact, the same is true for myself.

It's time, I'm already 37 years old, continue to procrastinate, how long can I procrastinate?

Now is the time to be emperor...

It's time for my true identity as a big thief to be revealed to the world!

But, where is the person who can oppose me?

Guo's heart was filled with some kind of joyful emotion.

Cheng Yu's ability to act is very strong, he does what he says, does not procrastinate at all, and looks like a 61-year-old man at all.

In this way, Guo Peng felt that Cheng Yu would definitely live for many years and become an old man.

While Guo Peng was dealing with the governance issues after Jiangdong's fall, Cheng Yu also started his journey of planning for Guo Peng.

He first found some cronies that he personally promoted in Shangshutai.

These cronies all have a certain status and power in Shangshutai, and they are also the existence that Guo Peng approves of. They are all of one mind with Guo Peng, and they will also be the vanguard in promoting Guo Peng to proclaim himself emperor this time.

After Cheng Yu told them this, they were very excited.

"When the dynasty was changed and the great cause was established, I never dreamed that I could witness it with my own eyes!"
