Guo Zhiyuan didn't care about how the imperial court would deal with him at this time, and after bringing Leng Xian Ning back to Dongfan, although Chu Wan'er generously said that she didn't mind Guo Zhiyuan putting Leng Xian Ning into the room, Leng Xian Ning insisted on refusing to take off her robe, saying that she had made up her mind to escape into the empty door from now on, and never read Hongchen again. In the end, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't resist Leng Xianning, so he had to let people build a temple on Yangmingshan, and imitated Leng Xianning to build an identical two-story attic in the residence of Jiyuan in Xichan Temple for Leng Xianning to live in.

But the biggest headache for Guo Zhiyuan is not this, but his cheap dad! After Guo Zhengyu arrived in Dongfan, he has been stationed in Dongfan Academy to concentrate on teaching and educating people, and rarely asks about Guo Zhiyuan's affairs, but this time the matter is so big, Guo Zhengyu can't think about it, so angry that he ran directly to scold Guo Zhiyuan, saying that if Guo Zhiyuan dares to be a traitor and thief, he will not recognize him as a son, and he is ready to leave Dongfan and return to his hometown in Jiangxia.

Guo Zhiyuan can be disloyal, but he can't be unfilial, so he can only explain to Guo Zhengyu in a low voice that he is indeed forced to do so, Leng Xianning has great kindness to himself and Dongfan, without her, there would be no himself and Dongfan, he can't watch her being forced to death by the prince of Zhou, promise not to make an example, plus Chu Wan'er, the daughter-in-law, also helped to exonerate herself, so that Guo Zhengyu calmed down his anger and agreed to stay.

At this time, the intelligence station in the capital also sent back the news that the imperial court was ready to demote Guo Zhiyuan and send another official to Dongbo to replace Guo Zhiyuan as the prefect of Dongfan.

"This is obviously unloading the mill and killing the donkey, so it's better to reverse it directly! What is there to be loyal to such a rotten court! Since the court is not benevolent, we can't blame us for being unjust, the adults simply set themselves up as kings, why bother to suffer from the nest of the court, without the court, we will only develop better! …… Even if the imperial court sends a large army to attack us, we are not afraid, and we will keep them so that they will not return! ......"The hardliners in the army led by Shen Junrong have always had little affection for the imperial court, and they reacted the most violently.

"Things haven't gotten this bad, after all... After all, the imperial court did not list the adults as traitors, but the adults really can't go to the capital, it's really dangerous, alas! ......"The Wenchen faction led by Xu Guangqi still has a trace of illusion about the imperial court, after all, being a rebel is still a little too difficult for them to accept for those traditional literati who grew up under the influence of traditional Confucian thought, but they can't even talk about it anymore, because they know that there are only two ways in front of Guo Zhiyuan now, either directly erect the banner of rebellion and completely tear their faces with the imperial court, or bow their heads to the imperial court, accept the disposal of the imperial court, and let the imperial court handle it.

These two roads don't talk about Guo Zhiyuan, that is, they also find it difficult to accept, the former road is a dangerous road with no way out, how many of the forces in the past dynasties have raised the banner of rebellion, but there are very few that can achieve positive results in the end, don't look at the current Dongfan people are strong and strong, and the court is becoming more and more decaying, but the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the current Dongfan and the Ming Dynasty are compared with this behemoth, it is simply the difference between ants and elephants, if according to Guo Zhiyuan's formulation of "build a high wall, accumulate grain, build more ships, and slowly become king" If the development policy continues, maybe one day Dongfan can grow to the point of competing with the imperial court, but now it has been completely disrupted!

As for the latter road, not to mention, Guo Zhiyuan is the spiritual leader of Dongfan, and it is irreplaceable, if Guo Zhiyuan accepts the will of the imperial court to go to the capital to reflect, it is to send his life to the imperial court, if the officials sent by the imperial court to replace Guo Zhiyuan are mixed up again, Dongfan will be completely chaotic!

Everyone argued endlessly, but after arguing for a long time, they didn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, but Guo Zhiyuan, the main owner, didn't speak, and pondered something expressionlessly, Xu Guangqi was more careful, and first noticed Guo Zhiyuan's abnormality, and hurriedly asked a little anxiously: "My lord, you have an idea, what should we do?" ……”

In fact, at this time, Guo Zhiyuan's heart was also in a mess, and he finally rescued Leng Xian Ning, but Leng Xian Ning insisted on escaping into the empty door, and the stubborn cheap dad, if he really openly erected the flag of rebellion, I was afraid that the cheap dad would be so angry that he vomited blood and died on the spot, and he was indeed not ready to completely tear his face with the imperial court, although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time was gradually weakening, but it had not yet reached the point of imminent defeat, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty could finally replace the Ming Dynasty in the original historical time and space to win the world. In fact, Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army helped a lot, if the Ming Dynasty was not suffering from internal and external troubles, suffering enemies on both sides, but only fighting against the Manchu Qing Dynasty one-on-one, then the result is really hard to say, at least the Ming Dynasty will not die so quickly, so now is obviously not the best time to tear up the face with the imperial court.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but wave his hand a little upset: "What should I do?" Cold! ......" As soon as the words came out, Guo Zhiyuan immediately realized that he had lost his temper, at this time, he must not be chaotic, let alone show his upset in front of his subordinates, otherwise he would not wait for the officials sent by the imperial court to replace him, and Dongfan would be chaotic first, so he smiled and said, "What are you panicking about?" Don't worry, the sky won't fall! What are you supposed to do? I have my own plans! ……”

Hearing Guo Zhiyuan say this, everyone was also a little relieved, over the years they have developed an almost blind worship of Guo Zhiyuan, in their eyes, there is no Guo Zhiyuan can not solve the problem, since Guo Zhiyuan said that the sky can't fall, it means that Guo Zhiyuan has a countermeasure, so they dispersed.

When everyone left, Guo Zhiyuan's face became solemn again, although he has not come up with a countermeasure for the time being, but this matter must be treated carefully, he thought about it and turned to Zhang Cheng, who was left alone by him, and asked: "Who will the imperial court send to replace me, is there any news?" ……”

Zhang Cheng nodded and reported: "The secret report just came from the capital, the candidate sent by the imperial court to replace the lord has been determined, and you are also familiar with this person, it is your former boss--- Qin Shou, the prefect of Fuzhou!" ……”
