I believe in your evil

Chapter 255 Long Live the Princess (35)

After half a year.

The results of the experiment came out. With the joint efforts of everyone, both the experimental field and the experimental site have achieved great success, and the grain harvest has doubled or tripled.

If this method is carried forward, it will greatly reduce the chances of people starving to death, so that more people can have enough food and survive.

Just when Yuxi was about to promote the farming method across the country, different voices appeared from the people.

Looking at Xixi's experimental field, when the harvest of the things in the experimental field is better than the harvest that I have worked hard for a long time, the people are happy at first, and then they start to be unhappy.

I feel that the people in the palace don't care about them common people, so they deliberately teach them the wrong way to farm, which leads to bad harvests.

Originally, this was the guesswork of a small number of folks, but for some reason, there was actually someone pushing behind this incident, and it quickly became a big issue.

Many people wanted to make trouble and asked Xixi for an explanation.

Some people even made alarmist remarks, saying that the emperor wanted to take back all the land in their hands and let the country cultivate it instead of giving them the land.

As soon as the news came out, it was okay, everyone was blown away.

In their opinion, what is the land? It is their lifeblood.

The whole family eats, drinks, and spreads all on the land. If even the land is confiscated by the state, how can they survive?
Under such rumors, the people were panicked and could not even sleep soundly.

At this moment, Princess De Ning, Shangguan Ning Xin, who was dispatched to Lingnan, led his army and began to raise troops, saying that they wanted to overthrow the tyranny of the fatuous emperor.

He also told them that the land should belong to farmers by birth and should not be robbed by others.

With such a slogan, it must be very popular. A large group of people followed the uprising and made trouble.

In the beginning, they captured the two cities aggressively. When their hearts and morale were high, news came from Jingdong and nearby border towns.

The emperor sent officials who cultivated grain in the palace to instruct them how to farm in order to obtain higher harvests.

Also appease them, the land is theirs, since it was theirs from the beginning, it will be theirs after that, no one will grab their land.

After receiving such news, the rebel army following Shangguan Ningxin began to waver.

All they want is a stable life, with clothes to wear, land to farm, and food to eat.

Now that they have the land, there are ways of how to work to increase food production, and they can live a better life, and they start to retreat in their hearts.

After all, the reason why they were able to capture the two cities quickly was more because they attacked suddenly and no one was prepared.

But after that, the defending generals in the rest of the cities were on guard. Would it be so easy to capture a city?
Will they still be able to celebrate at the next celebration banquet?
All this is unknown.

Before the next stop started, the people on Shangguan Ningxin's side began to retreat.

In addition, Xixi released another news, saying that if they voluntarily surrendered, they can forget about the rebellion.

As a result, many people took off their battle armors again.

At this time, the new emperor stationed 30 troops on the border where they were, surrounded them, but did not send troops to attack.

Xixi's move not only confused Shangguan Ning Xin, but even the ministers in the court were also confused.

But the new emperor is not used to it, and they gradually got used to it. At first, they had heated discussions, and in the end, they occasionally talked about it, just curious about when the new emperor would launch a crusade, and what would be a good thing for Xixi What do they mean, they don't want to guess.

Anyway, let him go, one day he will know.

The days passed day by day like this, and more than three months passed like this.

The soldiers guarding outside the city had a good life because of the supplies.

But for Shangguan Ningxin and others who were trapped in the city by silent writing, that would be a disaster.

Because there were no supplies and they were surrounded by groups, no one dared to enter or leave the city, and it was impossible for anything to be sent in, so they were already sitting on the mountain and empty, and reached the end of the road.

In half a month at most, all of them can hardly afford to eat porridge with only a few grains of rice.

What else can I do at this time?

The people who originally followed the uprising, naturally put down their butcher knives and became Buddhas on the spot, and chose to surrender.

As for the regular army led by Shangguan Ning Xin, they had no choice but to go all out.

Fighting hard now, there is still a glimmer of life. If they accept their fate, the grass next year will not know how tall they will grow on the grave.

Although I know there is little hope, it is better than sitting still and waiting to die.

So Shangguan Ningxin sorted out his remaining army, brought all the food, sent a small team to attract firepower, and then led a large army to attack from weakly guarded places.

On the day when Shangguan Ningxin launched a counterattack, something happened in the capital.

The reason is that this empress dowager, oh no, it should be called the empress dowager now.

The empress dowager joined forces with the prime minister to lead the remaining army of the royalist party who had been heartfelt to the old emperor, to raise troops, and cooperated with Shangguan Ningxin to help Shangguan Ningxin make a surprise attack.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager also announced to the outside world that the new emperor's successor to the throne was not right, and that he was not the heir appointed by the old emperor before his death, and summoned capable people and strangers from all over the world to crusade against the new emperor.

Originally, their attention was pretty good, but now those who are loyal to the new emperor, Yuxi, are basically sent to guard Shangguan Ningxin, and there are very few people who can be used.

In addition, this place is relatively far away, and it will take a lot of time to come back if they want to be rescued, so they are completely sure of winning, and they just wait to kill Xixi before finding a way to kill Shangguan Ningxin.

After clearing all the obstacles, the Empress Dowager can support a child to take the throne at will. In the next days, she only needs to control the government, listen to the government behind the curtain, and enjoy the addiction of being an emperor.

But this sweet dream didn't take long before it was shattered.

It turned out that at the most important moment when they raised their troops and were about to attack the palace, Tourmaline came out with a bunch of tiger charms and told all the soldiers that the tiger charms on the Queen Mother's side were fake and told them to stop fighting.

The generals didn't believe it at first, but after checking the tiger charms in the end, they found that the tiger charms of the Queen Mother and the others were really fake, and the tiger charms in Tourmaline's hands were the real ones.

In this era, even though you are a general, the soldiers below still recognize you as a tiger charm. After all, the generals in this army are frequently mobilized. You may still be my general today, and you may go to another place to serve tomorrow.

But the Tiger Talisman is different, there is only one Tiger Talisman in his possession.

In this war, the Empress Dowager and the others only saw hope. On this day, there was a downpour, which wiped out all their hopes.
