Chapter 521: The Storm Rises

When Wu Dunru and Cheng Ying hurried all the way to Lin'an, the streets and alleys had already spread, and the emperor had issued eighteen holy decrees in a row to urgently recruit many major generals in Guo Jing's army to return to Beijing in the past few days.

Originally, the people who released this news wanted to put pressure on Guo Jing, they knew that Guo Jing was a loyal and honest person, and they were absolutely unwilling to bear the charge of disrespecting the will.

Ma Tianji, Ding Daquan, and Dong Songchen just wanted to force Guo Jing to submit with righteousness, and Guo Jing's attitude was enough to influence most of the important people in the army.

If Guo Jing was the only one, it was possible to fall for their tricks, but he had Huang Rong, who was almost a demon, and Zhuge Wuhou, the descendant of Zhuge Wuhou, and other think tanks to give advice, and even predicted that there would be such a day. What's more, Yue Fei's lessons from the past are still there, how could Guo Jing be fooled?

If Ma Tianji and their treacherous schemes can still succeed in this way, then they will underestimate Guo Jing too much! Guo Jing is definitely a representative of great wisdom and foolishness, and his loyalty is great loyalty and righteousness, not foolish loyalty. Guo Jingzhong is not to his Zhao family, he is loyal to the people of the world, and he is not guarding the rotten and crumbling Southern Song Dynasty court, but guarding the righteousness of the famous family.

Guo Jing, whether he was stubbornly defending Xiangyang in his original trajectory, or now raising the banner to resist and expel the anti-Mongol people, is that the common people in the world are not subject to the murderous rule of the Mongol iron horsemen, and live a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs and is slaughtered by others, so that the inheritance of thousands of years of Chinese civilization cannot be cut off due to foreign invasions.

But the common people are the easiest to fool, Ma Tianji and they really encouraged a lot of ordinary people who did not know how to compete at the beginning, and many discussions on the streets and alleys felt that Guo Jing and they should return to Beijing.

However, Guo Fu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and under Wu Dun's words and deeds, she naturally has some understanding of public opinion warfare and the ability to deal with this kind of public relations crisis. At least it's a lot stronger than rookies like Ma Tianji.

Therefore, Guo Fu immediately organized people to fight back, first finding some poor scholars who had been in contact with them before, who had already been disappointed in the dim and corrupt Southern Song Dynasty court, and who had never met talents, and explained Ma Tianji's conspiracy in a few words.

These poor scholars are the most enthusiastic, and where can they bear it after learning the truth. The news immediately spread, and the people believed in these readers, and many began to wonder what was going on.

Later, Guo Fu asked people to contact several famous Confucians who had been suppressed and excluded over the years, or who saw through the hopelessness of the Southern Song Dynasty and retired from the market.

The people sent by Guo Fu are all articulate, and Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and reason, analyzing that if Guo Jing and others are persecuted, the Mongolian Tartars who still have spare strength will definitely fight back fiercely, and with the ferocious style of the Mongolian army, the Mongolian army has suffered such a big defeat before. Once they gain the power again, they will definitely retaliate frantically, and those who will suffer and die at that time are ordinary people and loyal soldiers.

These celebrities really couldn't bear to see the tragedy happen, and they were obliged to show up to say that their prestige was extraordinary, and it was several people of high moral standing who joined forces to declare, and for a while, the direction of public opinion suddenly changed greatly, and the voices of doubts about the court came and went.

Immediately after that, almost all the storytellers in the popular taverns, restaurants, and inns in the market suddenly changed their words to "The Biography of Yue Fei", and directly talked about the plots such as "Thirteen Gold Medals", "Qin Hui's Unwarranted Harm to Loyalty" and "The Unjust Death of the Loyal Ministers of the Storm Pavilion".

There is a double foreshadowing of the previous poor scholars and famous Confucians. No matter how stupid the common people are, they have directly understood the meaning, in the anger of being fooled. The people were surging and angrily denounced the dynasty for ignoring the overall situation, so they repeated the trick and brutalized Zhongliang.

The ministers who were loyal to the imperial court were not fools, and immediately took advantage of the situation to break the news, claiming that the emperor would not go to the early court for many days, and would not receive the ministers. All the will is conveyed through Ma Tianji, Ding Daquan, Dong Songchen and others, and there must be an inside story......

So public opinion changed again, the situation was constantly fermenting, and the people directly compared Ma Tianji, Ding Daquan, and Dong Songchen to the traitorous minister "Qin Hui", and they couldn't wait to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

Some officials in Ma Tianji's faction saw that the situation was not good. In a panic, without discussion, he directly made a stupid move: ordered his subordinates to send the whole city to arrest poor scholars and storytellers, and at the same time sent people to restrict the actions of famous scholars and Confucians, and did not allow them to "spread rumors" on the streets.

Although most of these people escaped with the help of the people arranged by Guo Fu, a few unlucky ones happened to be arrested, and they were also blocked by the die-hard party exerting their energy, and even quietly arranged for people to let those people go.

This absurd move directly became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the situation in Lin'an suddenly became chaotic, with several parties competing against each other, and a big war was about to break out.

Wu Dunru and Cheng Ying quietly arrived in Lin'an in such a tense and solemn atmosphere, and it happened that the "Four Brothers of Returning Laixi" also happened to bring some elite masters, and rushed to Lin'an from the front line day and night to assist Guo Fu.

Now there is chaos in Lin'an City, and they are all masters, with Guo Fu sending people to cover, all of them gathered in the "Lin'an No. 1" where Guo Fu settled unconsciously.

"The situation is about to get out of control! I didn't expect it to develop to this point!" Guo Fu said helplessly.

"You've done a good job! The current situation is not a bad thing! The contradiction between us and Zhao Song will break out sooner or later. In the current situation, it is a good situation to break out with this kind of behavior! As long as we operate it properly, we may not be able to take advantage of the fire and do it once and for all!" Wu Dunru said confidently.

"It's all that idiot, if it weren't for the fact that now is the time to employ people, I can't unload my morale, and I really want to break him into pieces. But what should we do now?" Ma Tianji, Ding Daquan and Dong Songchen gathered in the palace, and they discussed for a long time but still had no conclusion.

"I got the news that the generals who had taken refuge in us had already led their soldiers and horses to hurry over! However, the Jia Rudao faction and the die-hard faction also noticed the movement and were also deploying troops, but the delay in the past few days had already achieved results, and they had lost the opportunity, and now they are slow, step by step. The troops we have transferred are enough to suppress them, not to mention that we still have the trump card of the emperor in our hands! Several great generals will be a little late for a day or two because of the remote terrain, if we can delay it for a few more days, our advantage will be even more obvious, and it will be foolproof!" Ding Daquan introduced his own advantages.

"As long as you are well prepared, you can let the emperor show up tomorrow in the morning, so that those ministers can rest assured, and maybe they can delay for a few more days. However, now that the situation in Lin'an may get out of control at any time, we must be ready to launch it at any time. Dong Songchen came up with an idea.

"Although the hateful emperor is incompetent, he also has some means, whether it is Lin'an, or the troops in the palace, it is our three parties to contain each other, and no one can achieve a monopoly, otherwise we would have already found an opportunity to seize the military power of the Gyeonggi Strongland, and now we will act unimpeded, where do we need to look forward and backward like this, and shrink our hands and feet!" Ma Tianji's heart was full of resentment and dissatisfaction. (To be continued.) )
