Chapter 1081 Jiang Xuxu's First-Mover Advantage
Jianjia heard that she did not directly refuse, but she did not accept it either. She just rested her chin quietly to see how she would respond.
Then she saw Jiang Xuxu took out a stack of yellow paper from the side and started cutting paper in front of her.
Jianjia: ???
Jiang Xuxu did not explain much, and quickly cut out a stack of small paper figures. She found a place with abundant spiritual energy and directly set up the formation, and then cast a spell.
Although she still could not use her demon power, in this time and space with abundant spiritual energy, her spiritual power had recovered to at least 70% of the original.
At this moment, she formed seals with both hands, and the surrounding spiritual energy was attracted with the spell she said.
The next second, the small paper figures originally placed in the formation stood up.
Jianjia raised her eyebrows and looked at the little paper figures standing like an army, curious about what she was going to do.
Then Jiang Xuxu injected spiritual power evenly into the bodies of the little paper figures, and along with the spiritual power, there was also an "instruction",
"In order to make his daughter the queen, Prime Minister colluded with the national teacher to create strange phenomena at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, trying to use the name of natural disasters to make the future queen sacrifice her life to heaven, so as to force Your Majesty to vacate the throne and change the fate of the country." Jiang
Xuxu's straightforward words stunned Jianjia and Xiao Wuguang, who was still chewing eggshells on the side.
Jiang Xuxu did not explain immediately. After conveying the order to the little paper man, he waved his hand and said,
"Go!"
As soon as the order came out, the little paper man who was standing upright suddenly soared into the air, flew out of the palace like a bird, and then flew quickly in all directions.
After doing all this, Jiang Xuxu explained to Jianjia,
"Public opinion emphasizes a first-mover advantage. People are often impressed by the first bite of melon. If they want to refute the rumor later, they have to spend ten times the effort."
Jiang Xuxu said, smiling at Jianjia,
"Thanks to you, I can react first and take the initiative."
She spread such rumors first, so that when the news from the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony came back, it would only become factual evidence to verify the first bite of melon.
She did this to transform the sacrifice to heaven into a deliberate manipulation by Yuan Xiangfu and Guo Shi in the minds of the people, and to shift their attention from the so-called will of heaven to the conspiracy.
And for many people, gossip about the emperor's affairs can attract more people to gather and discuss than major national events.
As for what evidence does she have to prove that this is the conspiracy of Yuan Xiang and Guo Shi?
Who said that you can't take the initiative without evidence?
In this kind of thing, whoever benefits the most is the biggest suspect.
All she has to do is to free herself and Chu Beihe from the dilemma of the so-called Phoenix Goddess's sacrifice to heaven.
Jiang Xuxu's explanation is not complicated, and Jianjia naturally understands her intention of the so-called first-mover advantage.
At that moment, she also became a little interested. She took a look at the little paper figures that had just scattered. With a thought, Jianjia took out a few fox hairs and blew them gently.
In an instant, the fox hairs turned into several small and clever foxes, chasing in the direction of the little paper figures.
She didn't want to mix them up, she just wanted to watch the show.
So, before the people in Yuan Xiangfu started to move, Jiang Xuxu's little paper figures had already quickly scattered all over the city.
They stuck to the back of passers-by at a speed so fast that people could not see clearly. The next second, the passers-by who were stuck with the paper figures heard a faint whisper in their ears,
"#%&... so and so, so and so...%#!"
The passer-by who was walking on the road with a friend suddenly covered his ears in shock when he heard a whisper in his ear.
"Did you hear it just now?"
The friend was puzzled and asked the person, "What did you hear?"
The passer-by immediately whispered what he had just heard.
The friend looked suspicious and was about to tell him not to talk nonsense, but at this time, the small paper figure stuck to the passer-by's back quickly moved to another passer-by.
The passerby soon asked the people around him,
"Did you hear someone talking just now?"
Because they were not far away, the two people who heard the sound at the same time soon gathered together, and after a comparison of their statements, they found that what they heard was almost exactly the same.
As for the friends around the two, they did not believe it at first, then they were half-believing, and finally, they believed it without a doubt.
When there is only one person around you saying something beyond your cognitive scope, normal people would choose not to believe it.
But when there is a second or third person around you saying the same thing, at this time, even if you don't believe it, you have to believe it.
And on this day, there were many people in and outside the capital and the palace who heard the whispers in their ears at the same time, and they spread it to ten people, and ten to a hundred people.
When the news of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony finally came back, Yuan Xiang's people also received the order to start spreading public opinion, but they found out... the people already knew about it!
Even after the news of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony came back, the people still had a sense of clarity in their hearts.
As a result, the people arranged by Yuan Xiang not only failed to successfully create the necessary public opinion, but even as soon as they opened their mouths, someone looked at them with a face full of incomprehension,
"You, could it be that Yuan Xiang's Mansion arranged to spread the news in advance?"
The main point is that I am very clear-headed, don't try to confuse me.
When Yuan Xiang and other court officials followed Chu Beihe's team back to Beijing, Jiang Xuxu's little paper man had already directly controlled the direction of public opinion.
Not only did Yuan Xiang fail to get the result he wanted, but he even had to write a memorial to prove his innocence as soon as he returned home because of the rumors in the city.
Jiang Xuxu took advantage of Yuan Xiang's preoccupation to disperse the paper figures that were sneaking around the city directly to the towns around the capital.
After all, if she didn't disperse them, the rumors would spread everywhere and even to the north.
But the people in the north are different from those around the capital.
They are real people who are suffering. For such people, even an absurd rumor will become their hope of survival.
And when this hope of survival is not met, the people in the north will be dissatisfied with the emperor.
It only takes one person to offer sacrifice to heaven to resolve the disaster in the north, but Your Majesty refused. It is clear that you do not care about the lives of the people in the north.
Once the people are dissatisfied, what will come next is riots from all sides, or even... rebellion.
This will of heaven predicted by the national teacher was not aimed at Jiang Xuxu from the beginning.
They were aimed at Chu Beihe, or in other words, the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.
Chu Beihe did not expect Xuxu to react so quickly, but she was not the kind of person who would sit and wait for others to kill her, so she was not so surprised by her proactive attack. At present,
because of Xuxu's move, the capital and other parts of the capital have not been in chaos, which has given Chu Beihe time to deal with the disaster in the north.
Everyone is waiting to see how His Majesty will respond.
But what no one expected was that Chu Beihe's so-called response was
to hold the ceremony of conferring the queen in advance.
At that time, he will bring the new queen to offer sacrifices to the sky again.
