These two open letters were like two heavy punches that hit the Prince of Jin's Mansion so hard that it was at a loss, its reputation was completely ruined, and it lost the support of the people.
It's fine if you fight for power and break your heads behind closed doors, but colluding with foreign races to massacre your compatriots is something that people with conscience cannot tolerate and it touches their bottom line.
Countless people were dissatisfied, and the soldiers at the lower levels also became disloyal. The morale in the military camp was unsettled and there was no will to fight.
Who are they fighting for? For the people, for the emperor, or to defend their country, all are acceptable.
But, is it worth it for a bastard who betrayed his fellow countrymen?
No one in Prince Jin's Mansion expected Mu Wanqing's counterattack to be so fierce and brutal.
Their slander against Mu Wanqing was self-defeating and backfired on them.
They tried desperately to argue, directed their criticism at Mu Wanqing, and engaged in a war of words.
At this moment, the court came forward to testify that the Prince of Jin's Mansion had indeed committed treason, and that the evidence of their collusion with foreign enemies was all true, and was guaranteed by the emperor's credibility.
Once these words were spoken, the Jin Palace was completely crushed. No matter how they explained, no one believed them.
Because they are not upright and are traitors to the party.
If they have already succeeded in taking power, then everything will be easy, as the right to speak is in the hands of the winner.
But, at this moment, they are just traitors, and the orthodoxy of the court is still there, so naturally the words of the court are more convincing.
Everyone in Prince Jin's mansion was furious and helpless.
The King of Jin had a gloomy face, which made people shudder. His subordinates were afraid and did not dare to speak much in front of him, for fear of being irritated.
Princess Qingping was even more of a taboo, and no one dared to mention her in front of him.
Only the military advisor dared to say a few more words, "My Lord, please don't be angry. As long as we take over the capital and force the emperor to abdicate, then whatever we say will be right."
The idea is correct, but it is easier said than done.
The King of Jin was in a particularly bad mood, and he was not happy with everything. "How can we take it down? The Du family army has taken two more cities. In just one month, we have lost eleven cities."
The defeat was disastrous, the soldiers did not work hard, and the people tried every means to surrender to the enemy. No matter how capable the commander was, it was of no avail.
He never expected that Mu Wanqing would choose this time to attack him and give him a fatal blow at the most critical moment.
MD, he also said that he has no destiny, and even he himself began to doubt it.
There is actually a salt water lake in Fufeng City, but the local officials know nothing about it. What do they do with it?
Instead, Mu Wanqing got a great advantage... No, did she really choose to attack Fufeng City at random?
Seeing that he was distracted, the military advisor cleared his throat and took out the general map. "We should take a risky move, bypass this place and directly attack the capital. We must act quickly, fiercely and accurately, and take the capital before anyone can react."
They changed their thinking and decided not to fight to the death with Xiliang. Instead, they launched a blitzkrieg and directly captured the capital.
The King of Jin was not so optimistic. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The fighting power of the court was not that weak. "Let me think about it."
The military advisor has been thinking about this for the past few days, and his hair has been pulled out. "Instead of fighting to the death with Xiliang, it is better to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron. As long as I ascend to the throne, I can command the world and make Xiliang bow down to me."
Prince Jin rejected it without hesitation, "Impossible, Du Shaoxuan would rather die than obey my orders, he will only lead his army south to avenge the emperor."
The Du family is the new emperor's in-laws and is too deeply involved. Even if Du Shaoxuan pledges his loyalty, he would not dare to use him.
The military advisor knew this truth, but he chose the lesser of two evils. "So what? Using the whole country's strength to stop Du Shaoxuan, could it be more difficult than it is now?"
King Jin recalled the fate of Du Shaoxuan in his previous life. When the food and grass were cut off, he had to fight against foreign enemies while starving. In the end, the city was breached and he died in the city.
But in this life, with Mu Wanqing around, food and supplies were sent over continuously, and the foreign enemies were defeated.
The completely different experiences in the past and present life are only because of the existence of Mu Wanqing.
"It's no problem for a mere Du Shaoxuan. Although Du Shaoxuan is good at fighting, he is not good at political schemes. He will be finished sooner or later."
He paused, and uttered a name with difficulty, "But, Mu Wanqing has made up for his weakness. If the situation becomes irreversible, Xiliang will establish its own country."
He could see that Mu Wanqing was an ambitious person who ignored imperial power, authority, etiquette, and she was just good at disguising herself.
The military advisor said without hesitation, "Then find a way to alienate the relationship between these two people."
"Du Shaoxuan..." King Jin's face twisted, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, "He has feelings for Mu Wanqing."
The military advisor had never had any contact with Mu Wanqing, and she had heard everything from others.
"So what? What does love matter in the face of power? Which man doesn't want to sleep with a beautiful woman when drunk and hold the power of the world when awake?"
He just didn't believe that Du Shaoxuan could tolerate the loss of power. Mu Wanqing was more popular than him.
King Jin snorted coldly, "Although I don't want to admit it, Xiliang's current situation is all due to Mu Wanqing. Du Shaoxuan is no match for Mu Wanqing."
If Mu Wanqing wanted, Xiliang would fall into her hands in an instant.
military adviser:……
"So, are you worried that Mu Wanqing will simply overthrow the Du family and directly ascend to the throne as empress? That's not going to happen, right?" This is treason.
"You can look down on women all over the world, but you can't look down on Mu Wanqing." King Jin had looked down on her before, but reality dealt him a heavy blow and taught him a lesson. "Her intelligence and scheming are not inferior to anyone else, and she will not be content to be inferior to anyone."
The military advisor instinctively dislikes capable women. In his eyes, women are only fit to give birth to children.
"There's no need to make her a myth. As long as a person has weaknesses, they will have weaknesses. If you find the right one and strike hard..."
As they were talking, a voice came from outside, "My Lord, something happened again."
King Jin's expression froze, and his heart was in his throat. "What happened again?"
The subordinate walked in cautiously, "The Princess of Qingping County has sent another open letter."
The King of Jin's face turned green. What was she plotting against him? She was his nemesis, born to defeat him.
The subordinate said weakly, "But she is not targeting you."
King Jin's heart fell back to its original position, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Give me the letter, I'll see what she's up to. With so many tricks, no wonder she can't grow taller."
What a joke! Who would care about how tall the superior is? The military advisor couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Did he know that he paid special attention to Mu Wanqing?
He was too relieved too early. When he saw the contents clearly, his eyes widened. "How is this possible?"
Mu Wanqing said in the letter that Xiliang had grown grain at a yield of seven stone per mu, which was twice the current grain output. Moreover, the grain was not picky about the soil, was drought- and cold-resistant, and was easy to grow.
God is merciful and willing to share this magical object with the poor people of the world. As long as they live under the rule of Xiliang, they can get the good seeds for free, and technical guidance will be sent to help them learn how to do it.
The grain you grow can be sold to the government at a reasonable price, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
Finally, he added in a humble manner that any county official could come and contact us regarding the matter of improved seeds.
Prince Jin's hands were shaking and his face was pale.
The military advisor cried out inwardly, "My Lord."
Prince Jin handed over the letter in his hand. When the military advisor saw it, he also began to tremble.
This move seems not to be aimed at Prince Jin's Mansion, but in fact, it is a fatal killing move.
Food is the people’s primary need. Grain is the lifeline of the people and the lifeblood of the court.
In this era, people only want to have enough food and clothing, and high-yield grain is equivalent to life-saving food. They will risk their lives to get the seeds.
When such a magical object appeared in Xiliang, the hearts of the people all over the world were attracted to it and they spontaneously defended Xiliang.
The most fatal thing is the last sentence, our prefectures and counties? It is equivalent to splitting the cities and prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
The people would feel resentful, but who would they blame? Of course, it was the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
The Prince of Jin's Palace occupies the toilet but does not do anything. It only knows how to squeeze the people's money and never works for the welfare of the people.
It would be fine if the whole world was so dark, but there is Xiliang as a contrast.
Xiliang is good. The government only provides various welfare benefits and distributes goods and seeds to the people.
We are both rulers, why is your Jin Palace so rotten? You want to compete with Xiliang? Are you worthy?
The immoral and incompetent King Jin should step down immediately and not hinder their family ties with Xiliang.
Well, the key point is not to prevent them from getting good quality seeds.
When the military advisor thought of this, he felt sick.
Mu Wanqing's three letters seem to be unrelated and fanciful, but in fact they are all connected and are an all-round attack on Prince Jin's Mansion.
She understands people's hearts very well and plays with public opinion very skillfully, with one move after another, each one deadly.
How could the King of Jin outplay Wan Qing who came from the modern era? The modern entertainment industry has so many tricks.
"Is there really such a magical object? I don't believe that all good things happen to her."
The military advisor thought of cotton. No one believed it at first, but now it is sold all over the country and the demand exceeds supply.
"It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not. What matters is whether the people believe it or not."
Do the people believe it? Yes!
Others don't have such ability, but Princess Qingping certainly has it. Those cement water trucks, glass and mirrors, cotton clothes and cotton cloth, woolen clothes and pants, these are all made by her.
Add a high-yield grain and there's nothing wrong with that.
The public was in an uproar and were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
Before, only some active-minded civilians wanted to go to Xiliang, but now all the honest farmers want to go to Xiliang.
The Prince of Jin's Palace was completely ruined, and only a few loyal soldiers and officials remained steadfast.
But there were too many civilians, including many low-level soldiers. As soon as Du's army arrived, some people voluntarily surrendered the city, and they didn't even need to use force.
This was a spectacle that the Du family army had never encountered in all their years of fighting.
The Du family army was amazed and admired Mu Wanqing very much. They thought their county lady was so capable.
However, senior generals felt uneasy.
"Young Master, this time Princess Qingping has done such a great service, I don't know how to reward her."
Mu Shaoxuan had never been so successful before, and this war couldn't even start. Of course, this was a good thing, as fewer deaths were always good.
"This is the emperor's business, why are we worrying about it?"
"I mean..." The deputy general cautiously tested, "What if Princess Qingping has some ulterior motives? Then..."
Du Shaoxuan said without hesitation, "Give her everything she wants."
The deputy general could not help but get anxious. "But Xiliang has always belonged to the Du family. Several generations of the Du family have shed blood and sacrificed their lives to get to where they are today. How can we just give up our own foundation?"
Du Shaoxuan knew what he meant and said calmly, "The court is ruled by the capable, and the army believes that the strong are respected. Princess Qingping may look weak, but she can easily defeat anyone in the blink of an eye. So, don't think too much about it. She likes obedient people. Besides, she doesn't like Xiliang."
The deputy general was stunned. This was too much information. What did it mean?
Du Shaoxuan didn't intend to say more, it was enough for him to understand some things.
On the other hand, seeing that the situation was getting worse, King Jin adopted the military advisor's strategy and secretly led a team of troops to attack the capital.
But, as soon as he left the palace, the news leaked out...
