Chapter 2304 popular heart
"What?" The eldest prince Vico was heading towards the main city with the 100,000 troops of the Virus Legion, but he received a strange news halfway. Yes, the news was so weird. With the imperial edicts sent to all over the country that he had just received, Vico was really confused.
What Vico now receives are the imperial edicts that Li Huailin asked Misade to issue before. Of course, Vico cannot understand what is going on. As far as he sees, Misade must be in panic now, and should know that he will come to him. It is right to think of a way to resolve his crisis now. One of the ways is to win people's hearts. For example, if he is issued an imperial edict to the people, saying that taxes will not be collected this year, then if he is overthrown, the imperial edict he issued will of course be invalid. Some people who cannot see the situation may also be on his pirate ship because of this.
But the problem is not. According to the order above, people actually need to pay 50% more tax. Isn’t this a way out for people to survive? Do you say that the other party wants to get a considerable tax in a short period of time and then use the money to fight back? It’s impossible. Do you think this kind of tax can really be collected? Besides, the autumn harvest has just passed, and now is not the day to pay taxes, so how can you collect money?
I won’t say anything about taxes, but there are also various chaos of government orders such as increased labor and military service. If this is really implemented in accordance with such government orders, no civilian in the entire country can survive.
So Vico really can't understand what Misad is doing. This is just a mess. After thinking about it, although this younger brother is not very intelligent and is afraid of death, he is also his younger brother after all. He has received education since he was a child. How could such an inexplicable imperial edict appear? Are you looking for death?
For insurance, Vico asked the officers around him if they had any conspiracy or something, or if the document was forged... But it was not. Of course, the officers couldn't understand what was going on. It felt like the strange feeling of seeing all the soldiers on the other side committing suicide.
So does such documents need to be intercepted? No, Vico even wanted to send them a message. If it weren't for him, Vico thought that this kind of imperial edict should have been forged and slandered the other party, right? He didn't think of this method, but the other party sent this kind of thing. Who would they support when the people saw this kind of government order that made them unable to survive? You didn't have much approval rating, and you are still trying to kill yourself now, Vico is of course happy to see it.
Vico is currently on his way from the First Legion's headquarters to the main city. Although the First Legion's headquarters is not very far from the main city, it still takes some time to arrive. Vico thought that Misade would not be able to wait for death like this, at least he would take action, but he did not expect that what he had waited for was this kind of "action". He felt that he was sure to win, but now... he was... he still had reason to lose.
So the troops continued to move towards the main city for a while, and then the news of the second round came. This was another very funny news, at least Vico seemed like this. Because I heard that his younger brother Misad actually gave a speech in the central square before the palace, saying that he wanted to mobilize the civilians in the city.
Of course, this news was reported from the Royal Guard in the city. Their temporary captain Lavinson had already sent a secret message to officially surrender to the eldest prince. Although there was no action yet, when Vico's army arrived, the people of the Royal Guard immediately launched an offensive from the city, not only helping them open the city gate, but also cooperating with the attack. Now, they just told Vico all the actions in the city first.
Of course, Vico also accepted Lavinson's surrender. There was no doubt about this, and he still had this confidence. Now everyone will lean towards his side, but... why do you always feel that the information sent back by the Royal Guard is a bit weird? It's fine if the inexplicable imperial edicts before, but now Misad dares to see the people in the square now? Are you afraid of being killed by the people on the spot?
Vico initially doubted whether Lavinson was playing tricks on him, but soon the rest of the city also sent the same information. Yes, it is not just Lavinson who defected to the eldest prince now. Basically, all the great nobles have the same ideas as Lavinson. Which side do you think of the tenth prince and the prince now? Of course, it is the prince. Since you have chosen to stand by, why don’t you express your loyalty while you are now? So it’s really not just Lavinson who reported the message, and the information submitted by everyone is exactly the same, that is, Misard really wants to meet and mobilize the people in the square.
Vico really doesn't know what expression to use to face the current situation. Is this Misade so excited that he went crazy because he ascended the throne and became the emperor? Why did he start to commit suicide by inexplicably? Although he originally felt that the other party had no chance and could handle everything when his army arrived, your strange behavior really...it felt a bit frigid.
"Maybe before we arrive at the main city, Misad will be torn by the angry people." Vico joked at the officers, and of course the officers around him also laughed loudly. The enemy cooperated so hard that they had never encountered any battles they had fought for so many years.
To be honest, they are not the only ones who are shocked by the current situation. Misad himself is so scared that his legs are weak now. He can't believe that Li Huailin actually asked him to give a speech, saying that mobilizing the masses, aren't you funny? Now the people who want to kill him the most, okay?
Of course Misade didn't want to go, but it was useless at all. After all, he was the "emperor" who didn't even have a guard. Now he was at the mercy of Li Huailin, and he himself didn't know why he believed Li Huailin in particular. Although he said that, when he heard Li Huailin say that he would give a speech, it was okay, he still said that this was impossible.
Of course, Misad was forcibly dragged to the square in the end, and a large number of people in the city had gathered below. Of course, these were all messages arranged by Li Huailin. Misad looked down and saw these people looking at him with a crazy look. In Misad's opinion, these people seemed to want to climb up and tear him alive. Although the podium was still a little high from the square below, Misad felt that they could do it.
"Huai... Lord Huailin, can you live my life..." Misad looked at Li Huailin next to him and begged for mercy.
"Yes, if you do what I say, I will spare your life." Li Huailin said.
"This..." Misade was completely desperate. It seemed that he would die if he didn't listen to Li Huailin, so he died every day. Misade felt that it would be better to believe Li Huailin. After all, Li Huailin seemed at least more credible than these untouchables in his opinion.
"Please protect me..." Misad took a deep breath and was about to go on stage. Li Huailin next to him really wanted to laugh, and he was protecting him. Your father's coffin board could hardly be suppressed, okay? No, now this guy's father's body is still thrown in the back garden of the palace, and he has no time to bury it.
"His Majesty Misad Taft, the 31st Emperor of the Kshas Empire, arrived."
With the shouts of the soldiers beside him, the people below suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked up at the stage. Yes, most of the people here had never seen this tenth prince Misade, and they also wanted to see what the new emperor looked like.
"Uh..." Seeing so many people staring at him, Misad here was obviously a little dismissed. He was so panicked that he didn't expect that there were so many people staring at him below, and he didn't know how to speak.
"Long live the Emperor!" Just when Misad didn't know what to say, suddenly someone in the crowd below shouted, and I don't know if it was Li Huailin's arrangement to go in.
No matter what, after hearing the shouting here, the people below reacted. Like Misade, they actually didn't know what to do, so they could only look at Misade. Now some people are shouting slogans, although they don't know who it is, of course they also shouted.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the new emperor!"...
The shouts below suddenly began to rise one after another. At this time, not only the people standing below were the square. In fact, the streets next to them were full of people. But now they were really unable to squeeze in, so Misad could not see them yet. However, once the voice was shouting, the momentum was very exaggerated, and almost the whole city could hear the shouts of the people.
Faced with such shouts, Misad had no idea how to react. Yes, he was confused. He was ready to be torn to pieces. What's going on with you guys? Long live me? You're not kidding.
Seeing Misade here completely dead, Li Huailin really sighed and walked upwards directly. Yes, Li Huailin was too lazy to appear, but now it seems that Misade is really useless, so he can only come by himself.
Seeing Li Huailin coming up, the soldier was not prepared, but immediately shouted: "The leader of the mainland alliance, the emperor is as envious as His Majesty Lin."
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Mainland Alliance!"... There was another round of cheers, and the sound was louder than just now. These people just shouted to cheer for Li Huailin.
