Chapter 2304 Popularity
"What?" Here the eldest prince Vico led the 100,000 troops of the Verus Legion towards the main city, but he received a strange message halfway. Yes, this news is really weird. With the edicts sent to all parts of the country just received, Vico was really confused.
What Vico is receiving now is the edict that Li Huailin asked Misad to send out. Of course, Vico can't understand what's going on. From his point of view, Misad must be panicked when he comes to power now. I should also know that I will come to him. It is right to find a way to relieve my crisis now. One of the ways is to buy people's hearts. If it is overthrown, the edict he issued will of course become invalid, and some people who can't see the situation clearly may also get on his thief ship because of this.
But the problem is not, according to the order above, the people are actually asked to pay 50% more taxes. Aren't you cutting off people's lives? You said that the other party wants to get a considerable amount of tax in a short period of time, and then use this 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 it is not the day to pay taxes, so how can it be possible to collect money.
I won’t say anything about taxes and the like, and there are all sorts of messy decrees such as increased labor and military service. If these decrees are really implemented, no civilians in the entire country will be able to live. go down.
So Vico really can't understand what Misad is doing, this is completely messing around. After thinking about it, although this younger brother said that his IQ is not high, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but after all, he is also his own younger brother and has received education since he was a child. How could such an inexplicable edict appear? Are you looking for death by yourself?
To be on the safe side, Vico also asked the officers around him if they had any conspiracy or the like, or that the document was forged...but it wasn't. Of course, the officers couldn't understand what was going on. It felt like the strange feeling of seeing all the soldiers on the opposite side commit suicide when a war was about to take place.
Do such documents need to be intercepted? No need at all, Vico even wanted to send it for them. If it wasn't for his innocence, Vico felt that this imperial decree should be forged by himself to discredit the other party, right? Who do you think the people will support when they see this decree that makes them unable to survive? You didn't have much support in the first place, and now you're still killing yourself, of course Vico is happy to see it.
Vico is currently on his way from the base of the First Legion to the main city. Although the base of the First Legion is not very far from the main city, it still takes some time to arrive. Vico thought that it was impossible for Misad to just wait to die like this, at least he would take some action, but he didn't expect that it was this kind of "action". At first, I felt that I already had the chance to win, but now... there is no reason to lose.
So the troops continued to march towards the main city for a while, and then the news of the second round came. This is another very funny news, at least from Vico's point of view. Because I heard that my younger brother Misad actually made a speech in the central square in front of the palace, saying that he wanted to mobilize the civilians in the city.
Of course, the news came from the Royal Guards in the city. Their temporary captain Lavinson had already sent a secret letter to join the First Prince. As soon as the army arrived, the royal guard immediately launched an offensive from the city, not only helping them open the city gate, but also cooperating with the attack. But now, they just told Viko all the actions in the city first.
Of course, Vico also accepted Lavenson's surrender. There is no doubt about it. I still have this confidence. Now in this form, everyone will lean towards him, but...why do you always feel that the information sent back by the Royal Guard is a bit weird? Forget about the inexplicable edict before,
Misad still dare to go to the square to meet the people now? Are you not afraid of being killed by the people on the spot?
At first, Vico wondered if Ravinson was playing tricks on him, but soon other people in the city also sent the same information. Yes, Lavenson is not the only one who has taken refuge in the first prince. Basically, all the great nobles have the same thoughts as Lavenson. Which side do you think the tenth prince and the crown prince will choose now? Of course it is the prince. Since you chose to stand on the sidelines, why don't you express your loyalty now? Therefore, Lavenson was not the only one who reported the letter, and the information submitted by everyone was exactly the same, that is, Misad really wanted to meet and mobilize the people in the square.
Vico really doesn't know what expression to use? Faced with the current situation, is this Misad already crazy with excitement because he became the emperor? Why did you start to kill yourself out of nowhere? Although he thought that the other party didn't have any chance, everything would be settled as soon as his army arrived, but your weird behavior is really... a bit hairy a feeling of.
"Maybe before we reach the main city, Misad is about to be torn apart by the angry people." Vico joked to the officers, and of course the surrounding officers also laughed along with it. They have never encountered such a situation in which the enemy cooperates so well in fighting for so many years.
To be honest, they are not the only ones who are shocked by the current situation. Misad himself is so frightened that his legs are weak now, he can't believe that Li Huailin actually wants him to give a speech, saying to mobilize the masses, isn't that right? funny? Now the people who want to kill him the most are these people, okay?
Of course, Misad didn't want to go, but it was useless at all. After all, he was an "emperor" who didn't even have a guard, and now he was at the mercy of Li Huailin, and he didn't know why he trusted Li Huailin so much. Even though he said that, when Li Huailin said that it was fine to let him give a speech, he still said that it 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, this was all the news arranged by Li Huailin. Misad looked down and saw these people looking at him with fanaticism. In Misad's view, these people seemed to want to climb up and tear him alive. Although the podium is still a bit high from the square below, Misad thinks they can do it.
"Huai...Master Huailin, can you spare 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..." Misad was completely desperate. It seemed that if he didn't listen to Li Huailin's words, he would be dead, so he would be dead anyway. Misad felt that it would be better to believe in Li Huailin. After all, Li Huailin was at least more credible than these untouchables in his opinion. what.
"Please protect me from the late king..." Misad took a deep breath and prepared to go on stage. Li Huailin next to him really wanted to laugh when he heard it, and the king blesses you, your father's coffin is almost unbearable, okay? No, now this guy's father's body is still thrown in the back garden of the palace, and there is no time to bury it.
"The 31st emperor of the Xoss Empire, His Majesty Misad W. Taft has arrived."
Following the shout of the soldiers next to them, the people below suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked up at the stage. Yes, most people here have never seen the Tenth Prince Misad, and they all want to see what the new emperor looks like.
"Uh..." Seeing so many people staring at him, Misad over here is obviously a bit discouraged. He was already panicked to death, but he didn't expect that there were so many people staring at him below, he didn't know Why did you speak.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Just when Misad didn't know what to say, someone in the crowd below suddenly shouted, and I don't know if Li Huailin arranged to drag him in.
In any case, after hearing the shout here, the people below also reacted. Like Misad, they actually didn't know what to do and could only look at Misad. And now someone is shouting slogans. Although they don't know who it is, of course they also shouted.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" "Long live the new Emperor!"...
The shouts below suddenly began to rise and fall. At this time, it was not only the people on the square who were standing below. They can't be seen, but once the voice is shouted, the momentum is very exaggerated, and the shouts of the people can be heard almost in the whole city.
Faced with such a shout, Misad didn't know how to react at all. Yes, he was stupefied, he was already ready to be torn apart, okay? What's up with you guys? Long live me? You are not kidding.
Seeing that Misad was completely unresponsive, Li Huailin really sighed, and then walked straight forward. Yes, Li Huailin was too lazy to appear on the stage, but now it seems that this Misad is really useless, so he can only come by himself.
Seeing Li Huailin coming up, the soldier was unprepared, but he immediately shouted: "The leader of the Continental Alliance, the emperor has arrived with His Majesty Ruolin."
"Long live Your Majesty!" "Long live the Continental Alliance!"... There was another round of cheers, and the voices were louder than before. These people simply shouted their throats and cheered for Li Huailin.
"Look, this is what the people want, understand?" Li Huailin walked to Misad's side, stretched out his right hand and compared the people in the audience, and said.
