Liu Ming's words made Guo Jia feel a lot. It was so incisive. This is human nature. It's ridiculous that I think I am a master of analyzing people's hearts. Compared with my lord, I am really childish and ridiculous.
Guo Jia listened to Liu Ming's explanation intently, but when Guo Jia heard Liu Ming say that there was only one way to solve it, he suddenly paused. It really made Guo Jia twitch his heart and couldn't help but feel itchy.
But Guo Jia had no choice but to let this be a custom? Guo Jia had to cooperate at this time and asked very sincerely: "How wonderful is it to ask the lord?"
Liu Ming smiled in his heart: Those who are close to Zhu are red, while those who are close to Mo are black. It is indeed not false at all. Guo Jia, who was originally very arrogant, has been mingling with him and others over the years. This cooperation is still very good.
Liu Ming felt comfortable and said to Guo Jia happily: "The harm of this rumor lies in its concentration, ambiguity, and plausible rationality. Therefore, he can guide people's suspicion and thinking. As long as we target this
At what time, rumors are still easy to deal with. First of all, we also need to create rumors, but it is not to create rumors for others, nor to excuse ourselves. In that case, it will only become darker and more people will be attracted.
Doubt and pay attention. Therefore, we have to spread rumors for ourselves. Moreover, these rumors must not only be huge, but also have all kinds of strange things. The more bizarre and incredible it is, the better.”
Speaking of this, Liu Ming waved his hand to stop the question Guo Jia wanted to raise and continued: "No need to be surprised. The rumors of huge numbers and huge versions will not cause any harm to us at all. It will only distract people's attention.
Strength, drown the truth of the facts in the numerous rumors. And when these rumors are so distorted and incredible, no one will take these boring things seriously. After all, normal people have
A certain rational and selective way will definitely not keep saying something wrong, which will expose one's own ignorance and be ridiculed by others. Moreover, when ordinary people feel distrustful of a certain kind of remark,
Often, based on their experience, they will include all similar remarks in the ranks of distrust. In this way, the rumors of Cao Cao and others can no longer focus on guiding people's thoughts. The harm that those rumors do to us is also harmful to us.
It will be self-defeating. When people are bored with these boring rumors, we can reveal the truth of these rumors in a timely manner. They are made by people with ulterior motives.
It has caused some shameful little things. At that time, this rumor will be beneficial to us and make Cao Cao unlucky."
Guo Jia is smart, and Guo Jia immediately understood Liu Ming's short words.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "It's amazing! At that time, as long as we follow the speculation of the people, we will say that Cao Cao murdered the sage, found someone to pretend to be the emperor, and control the government, and fear that he would be exposed by your lord, your life minister.
The truth is that he spread rumors and slander your reputation. In that case, no matter whether the emperor of Cao Cao is true or false, it will be enough for Cao Cao to do anything.”
When Liu Ming saw that Guo Jia's head was spinning fast, he laughed.
Guo Jia stood up and said goodbye to Liu Ming: "Lord, Jia has arranged this time. My subordinates immediately asked someone to make our own rumors. He asked Shadow to kill the envoys sent by Cao Cao."
"Let's go!" Liu Ming stopped Guo Jia and said, "There is no need to stop and kill those envoys. Even if those envoys are stopped and killed by us, will Cao Cao not send envoys again? Should we continue to stop and kill?"
Guo Jia is a smart person, of course he won't run away one by one. And Guo Jia knows that since Liu Ming would ask this, Liu Ming will definitely have other solutions. Therefore, Guo Jia analyzed and answered
: "Stop killing the envoy is a fool, and it is not a good idea. It is really not a good idea. It is just a temporary buffering time. Moreover, the continuous stopping the envoy is indeed easy to attract other people's attention at this moment when rumors are everywhere.
Now we can only choose between going or not. With our strength far superior to Cao Cao, the lord certainly does not need to take risks with a thousand gold. Therefore, the lord of course cannot go. If he does not go,
It is also easy to be criticized by the people of the world. Therefore, we must have a sufficient reason. Since it is not the best way to stop and kill Cao Cao's envoy, it is not the best way to use it as an excuse to delay. In addition, if you lord, please avoid it for a while,
But it is also inappropriate to let us not take charge of the overall situation in Youzhou. Therefore, the lord must have other reasons that cannot leave Youzhou."
Guo Jia was thinking about what kind of excuses he had so that his lord would not have to go. Suddenly, Guo Jia had a sudden idea and blurted out: "Well! By the way, the lord can pretend to be sick. The so-called: illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a pump.
Si. The disease is serious, so of course you can't go to worship the emperor. Moreover, you can also secretly preside over the overall situation. Moreover, the length of the disease can be controlled by us. Of course, this is better than stopping Cao Cao's envoy."
Liu Ming nodded with relief. Guo Jia was indeed Wen Yizhishi. He learned the skills he had learned to watch palace opera in later generations. After a little broadcast, Guo Jia immediately understood. He is really a talent.
However, Guo Jia then asked suspiciously: "Lord. But in that case, we are just a temporary delay. This cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Sooner or later we will face the imperial court's summons. By then
, What should we do?"
In fact, Guo Jia's words are not that Guo Jia really doesn't understand, but that Guo Jia hopes to strengthen Liu Ming's confidence. It can make Liu Ming be mentally prepared. That is, to show off with the court and formally compete with the court.
Well, Liu Ming will announce his wish to change the dynasty now.
However, Liu Ming did not answer Guo Jia's question, but asked back: "Fengxiao, do you think Cao Cao is a loyal minister with no ambitions?"
Guo Jia pondered for a while and said, "No. After Cao Cao arrived in Luoyang, he put his ministers under house arrest and controlled the government. Then Cao Cao was not a person who was willing to live under the ranks."
Liu Ming nodded and said, "So. Since Cao Cao is not a suspicious person, what kind of good intentions can he have when he summoned the princes of various states and counties to Luoyang? If we don't go, it doesn't mean that others will not go.
As long as someone goes, even if we don't, Cao Cao will launch his conspiracy on time. Otherwise, once the princes leave, Cao Cao's plan will be lost. As long as Cao Cao's ambition is exposed, we can
If we condemn Cao Cao, of course we don’t have to go to Luoyang to take risks. The righteousness is naturally in our hands. Then Cao Cao is just a second person in Dong Zhuo. And if everyone doesn’t go, it proves that we were the first one.
The two imperial courts' plans were successful, and the emperor's prestige had long disappeared. We don't need to avoid the role of the emperor. At the same time, since no one went to worship the emperor, of course no one would blame us."
Guo Jia fully understood Liu Ming's intention and added: "Lord is a great idea. And you have the will of the late emperor in hand. Today, the emperor still has a court order. Without your notarization, it is inconsistent with reason. Especially now, Lord Zong Zheng is still in the same way.
No one is here to prove the identity of the emperor today. People in the world are a little criticized, and that is inevitable."
Liu Ming nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. However, those rumors cannot be circulated from us. Let Houde and others do this task. In this way, the source of the rumors will be consistent. Moreover,
At that time, we have to help Guan Hai Zheng correct his reputation. Although Guan Hai has always been ours, Guan Hai Ming is still the origin of Huang Jin's party. When those rumors came from Sili, there was still a problem with Guan Hai.
Influence. And this is also one of our weaknesses. I will give Kong Beihai a commendation later. I will commend him for his good use of others and his contribution to surrendering Guan Hai. Then you ask Kong Beihai to publish a few articles in the newspaper to praise Guan Hai's origins.
The grassroots can be loyal and righteous. Especially since the occupation of the Beihai, it has no harm to the people and is willing to protect the people. In this way, as long as we have prepared Guan Hai's image, then, the harm will be done to us after those rumors come.
It's even smaller. No one can say that Kong Beihai is also lying, or that he has colluded with Guan Hai to act."
Guo Jia understood it and said goodbye and went out to make arrangements. The flying eagles who were sending messages rushed into the sky one by one.
However, at this time, the key figure in Guo Jia's plan, Houde, who was staying in Luoyang, was drinking in Cao Cao's mansion.
It would be a helpless move that Houde would drink in Cao Cao's mansion at this time.
Originally, Cao Cao did not pay attention to the low-level official position of the court. He did not even pay attention to the high-level official position. However, in order to find out the trends of the court, Houde has frequently entered and exited the high-level official residences that Cao Cao sent to monitor.
It must be attracted by Cao Cao's attention.
Especially when Cao Cao investigated Houde's identity, he accidentally discovered that Houde was actually the representative of Liu Ming's stay in Luoyang, and was once the chief supervisor of Liu Ming's Taiwei Mansion. This Houde must have attracted Cao Cao's attention.
Therefore, Cao Cao specially invited Haode to the mansion to explore the foundation of Haode and see if this Haode can be used for himself. It is best to induce Haode to tell Liu Ming some of Liu Ming's secrets.
Unexpectedly, although Hude is loyal, he is a peasant cunning person. After seeing Cao Cao, he did not feel as hypocritical as usual in the officialdom. Instead, he asked a question directly, which made Cao Cao stunned.
