Chapter 260: The Pedantic Guo Jing
At this moment, even Hong Qi and Li Mochou did not expect Huang Rong to be able to say these words.
In this way, they would have a better chance of persuading the two.
"Sigh!"
"Rong'er, I know everything you said is correct."
"However, after all, we are all Song people, and this Han Kingdom, they ascended to power as rebels."
"They are the culprits who brought disaster to our Great Song; as a subject of the Great Song, I have an obligation to exterminate the rebels."
Guo Jing said to Huang Rong righteously.
Hearing Guo Jing's words, the three were all somewhat speechless.
Hong Qi even angrily scolded Guo Jing:
"Pedantic!"
"Since ancient times, which imperial family did not ascend to power by annihilating the previous dynasty?"
"That Zhao family of theirs, did they not obtain the world by bullying orphans and widows?"
"Jing'er, you must know that this world is the world of the people, not the world of the Zhao family alone."
"The current Great Song court is chaotic and unbearable; internally, the monarch is foolish and treacherous officials are in power."
"Externally, there are countries like the Mongols, the Great Jin, and Western Xia eyeing them covetously."
"The current Great Han is rising in response to the times."
"In this current world, even if the Great Han had not appeared, there would be countless righteous armies rising up."
"Also, you, Guo Jing, must know for yourself: is your loyalty truly to that Zhao family, or is it to the common people of this world!"
Hong Qi's words were somewhat deafening.
Guo Jing's expression froze after hearing them.
He discovered that he was actually somewhat speechless.
"Hero Guo, I believe you do not have much understanding of the Great Han currently, so I will introduce it to you properly; it will not be too late to make a decision after you have understood the Great Han."
At this time, Li Mochou stood up and said to Guo Jing.
Subsequently, without waiting for Guo Jing to reply, Li Mochou introduced the Great Han in detail to the two.
"Seven Old Man, is this Great Han truly from another world?"
"If this is true, then how powerful must the Emperor of the Great Han be to have the ability to cross worlds? This is simply too incredible."
"Moreover, if it is truly as Daoist Li said, are there not too many Innate Realm powerhouses in the Great Han?"
After listening to Li Mochou's introduction, Guo Jing and his wife were shocked beyond compare.
From time to time, they let out incredible exclamations.
"What is there to be surprised about? As long as you join the Great Han, you can cultivate the profound martial arts of the Great Han."
"Moreover, to tell you the truth, I have already switched to cultivating the Great Han's techniques, and now my strength has also made a breakthrough."
Hong Qi said to the two with a smile.
"By the way, kid, I am telling you, you must seize this opportunity."
"The Great Han's methods for dealing with those Jianghu people who refuse to be disciplined are very tough."
"Moreover, this Great Han is the true orthodoxy of our Han race; compared to this Zhao family of the Great Song, they are far more noble and orthodox."
"Therefore, joining the Great Han cannot be considered betrayal for you."
"I have said what I have to say, Master; as for how you choose, that is your own business."
"I will give you one night to think about it."
"However, we must make things clear; I, Old Beggar, do not want us master and disciple to stand against each other one day in the future."
"Furthermore, the Great Han's strength is so powerful; once the Great Han's subsequent army descends, those Mongol Tatars and other foreign tribes will also be liquidated."
"They have oppressed our Han people for so many years; it is time for them to pay the price!"
Hong Qi looked at Guo Jing and said in a deep voice.
"Hero Guo, I believe you are also clear about how those foreign tribes treated our Han people previously."
"That Song court was weak and incompetent, allowing foreign tribes to oppress and slaughter our Han people."
"Back then, the incomparably humiliating Jingkang Incident occurred."
"How could such a court protect our Han people?"
"Hero Guo and Alliance Leader Huang are both people who understand great righteousness; I do not need to say more."
Li Mochou, after Hong Qi finished speaking, finally said solemnly to Guo Jing and his wife.
"Alright, I have said what I have to say; tomorrow I will wait for your reply!"
Finally, after Hong Qi finished speaking to Guo Jing, he left with Li Mochou.
After the two left, Huang Rong said to Guo Jing:
"Brother Jing, what are you truly thinking? Do you truly want to oppose the powerful Great Han for the sake of the already perished Song Kingdom?"
At this time, there was already a hint of complaint in Huang Rong's tone.
The two of them were not officials of the Great Song, just common people of the Song Kingdom.
Moreover, having lived in the Song Kingdom for so long, they had done quite a few things for the people of the Song Kingdom.
And they had not received anything from the Song Kingdom; in the eyes of some in the Song court, they were merely Jianghu ruffians.
"Rong'er, did I do something wrong?"
"As a subject of the Great Song, shouldn't I be loyal to the court?"
Guo Jing looked at Huang Rong and asked in confusion.
"Oh!"
"Brother Jing, why can't you figure this out!"
"What you said is not wrong."
"However, is this Song Kingdom truly worth your loyalty?"
"Let us talk about the Song court; you know what kind of people Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan are."
"However, as the Emperor, how did Zhao Yun treat those treacherous officials?"
"And how did he suppress those martial generals who fought for the country?"
"Also, for so many years, how has the Song Kingdom treated its people?"
"In the court, the monarch is foolish, treacherous officials are in power, and corrupt officials are rampant, causing the people to live in misery."
"And look at the Great Han; how do they treat those Song people?"
"Brother Jing, you tell me, if you were an ordinary person, what would you choose?"
Huang Rong said to Guo Jing excitedly.
"This!"
"Rong'er, I would definitely choose the Great Han."
Guo Jing, after hearing Huang Rong's words, replied honestly.
"That is it, then. Since even you, Brother Jing, would choose the Great Han, do you think there is anyone in this world who would still be loyal to the Song Kingdom?"
"They are all hoping for the Song Kingdom to perish sooner, so that the Great Han can unify the world!"
"Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world."
"And the hearts of the people now are precisely toward the Great Han."
"All those who oppose the Great Han are the enemies of the people of the world; they are the true rebels!"
"Those people, even after they die, will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"
"And Brother Jing, haven't you always said that a great hero acts for the country and the people?"
"Why is it that at this time, you cannot distinguish between what is light and what is heavy?"
Huang Rong's words were like a great bell ringing in Guo Jing's heart.
At this time, he finally awakened.
Just how stupid had he been a moment ago? ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
