The Three Kingdoms

"Different degrees, what's going on here?" He looked at Kuai Liang, the chief secretary of the cabinet standing beside him, and asked.

"Master Shoufu, these rumors about the imperial court's move to the capital broke out very suddenly, and spread quickly. Within three days, it had spread throughout Jinling City. In the past few days, even Jiangdong, Jingchu The whole world has already started discussing this matter!"

Kuai Yue bowed, bowed his hands to Zhu Zhi, and then said in a low voice: "This subordinate believes that within the territory of Great Wu today, no one has the ability to manipulate such a powerful public opinion, unless it is... "

"Unless the Propaganda Department, which is best at public opinion, cooperates with Jinyiwei's private forces, it will be possible to spread such a large rumor, so that both the court and the people will pay attention to this matter!"

When Zhu Zhi heard the words, he had a flash of inspiration, and immediately understood what Kuai Yue meant, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

The Propaganda Department is indeed subordinate to the cabinet, and must obey the orders of the cabinet when doing things, but the director of the Propaganda Department is the confidant general of His Majesty today, and Jin Yiwei only obeys the orders of the emperor, no matter who it is, it is impossible for anyone to move. Therefore, the cooperation between these two departments, even beyond him as the chief assistant of the cabinet, can only be done by today's will.

"Lord Chief Assistant, what do you mean Your Majesty?"

Kuai Yue asked with a gloomy face.

"He is telling us that moving is his idea, and anyone who hinders this is his enemy!"

Zhu Zhi naturally understood Sun Quan's thoughts and methods very well, he sighed: "I'm afraid this matter is inevitable!"

As long as Sun Quan is determined to do something, he doesn't think he has the ability to stop it.

"But once the capital is moved, it will have a great impact on us!"

"Why don't I know that if I say to block Xun Yu, I'm a little sure, but since this is what His Majesty's table hole reveals, we must not disobey the holy will!" Zhu Zhi shook his head and said in a deep voice.

He is now in charge of the banner of the Jiangdong faction, competing with Xun Yu's Cao Wei faction in the cabinet.

Xun Yu's ability is unquestionable. Although the two of them have been polite and polite in the past few months, Xun Yu's inadvertently exposed strong control still puts him under a lot of pressure.

If possible, he would naturally not want to move the capital to the north.

This is tantamount to making the Cao Wei faction even more powerful, and the Cao Wei faction that the Jiangdong faction wants to survive in the future.

"But what has to be done still has to be done!"

Zhu Zhi thought for a while, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes, and said: "Since they made the move first, we will also make the move, and use public opinion to fight public opinion. Your Majesty will not take the initiative to take action. Our Majesty loves the wings very much." , so what we have to do is not to block the relocation of the capital, but to make His Majesty think that they can't do this well!"

Since ancient times, there have been only interests in political battles, and there has never been right or wrong.

No matter what happened to this matter, Jiang Dong had to show Jiang Dong's attitude, opposition was opposition, even if it couldn't be stopped in the end.

"Subordinates understand!" Kuai Yue nodded. The Chu faction is now following the lead of the Jiangdong faction, so naturally they must understand what it means to be a vanguard, so he has to do it if he doesn't do it, and he has to do it beautifully.

……

In another hall of the cabinet.

Xun Yu also summoned several close relatives in the cabinet to discuss the matter.

"Whose handwriting is this? The point of entry is very suitable. It is easy to make the whole world know about the relocation of the capital. It has saved us a lot of effort?"

Xun Yu was obviously overwhelmed by the bursts of public opinion, and was a little confused.

He had just planned the relocation of the capital, so naturally he did not have such a strong ability to plan the public opinion that broke out in the Great Wu Dynasty.

He was also taken aback when public opinion exploded.

"A few days ago, Sima Lang, Chief of Staff of the Imperial Study, went to Jinyiwei and the Propaganda Department!"

Zhuge Jun, who has now moved into the Great Wu Bank, sat on the chair next to him, squinted his eyes, and said leisurely.

"It should be Your Majesty!"

Zhong Yao said softly: "Only Your Majesty has the ability to turn the clouds with one hand and rain with the other!"

"So, Your Majesty also hopes that the transfer of the capital can be completed as soon as possible?" There was a playful light in Xun Zhan's eyes.

"It's rumored outside that the relocation was proposed by us, but everyone here knows that relocating the capital was never my idea!"

Xun Yu thought for a while and said softly: "Your Majesty is urging us to complete the transfer of the capital as soon as possible, because the stability of a capital plays a vital role in the future strategic deployment of the Great Wu Dynasty!"

"My side is ready!"

Zhuge Jun said: "The Ministry of Industry has completed the construction of the Weiyang Palace City, and the Chang'an Outer City is also under construction in an orderly manner!"

"Then do it, start to move, the relocation of the capital must be completed within half a year!"

Xun Yu's eyes became sharper than ever: "It's time to start our first battle to stand firmly at the center of the imperial court. The move of the capital must conform to public opinion. What we have to do is to convince everyone. The most important thing is to let His Majesty see our intentions." The ability to make His Majesty think that we can solve His Majesty's problems again!"

"understand!"

Hearing this, several people's faces became serious. The importance of this matter to them is self-evident.

***************

In the next month or so, the storm of public opinion about the imperial court's imminent relocation of the capital became more and more intense.

In early April, a cabinet official stepped forward to refute the rumors, denying that the imperial court had any intention of moving the capital.

In late April, the people of Jinling City wrote a letter requesting the imperial court to give up the plan to move the capital.

Public opinion began to turn.

"The matter of moving the capital must be a waste of people and money. How could the court act like this!"

"Jinling has been the capital, but it has only been more than ten years. In order to build Jinling City, I, the people of Jiangdong, have contributed so much to the court. Now that the court says to give up, I give up. Where are the people of Jiangdong!"

"Your Majesty, I must oppose those slanderous ministers who are so happy to sow discord!"

"Against moving the capital!"

"..."

Jinling City began to arouse waves of opposition from the public.

Of course, where there is opposition, there is approval.

Naturally, the people in Guanzhong also began to jointly petition, requesting the imperial court to move the capital to Chang'an City.

Guanzhong and Jiangdong began to fight a war of words.

But in May, the wind direction of this public opinion changed again.

Dozens of chambers of commerce in the business world suddenly joined forces to request the imperial court to move the capital to Chang'an City on the grounds that Jinling City had hindered the future development of the imperial court and was not enough to expand the imperial court's future development strategy.

Among these chambers of commerce, there are not only those from the north and the south, but even several chambers of commerce that lead the business community on the land of Jiangdong have participated.

This sparked not a little public opinion.
