Ten days was neither long nor short!
In a flash, nine days had quietly passed!
In these nine days, the entire Da Feng fell into a state of turmoil.
First, the news of the Northern Region Army coming out of Shanhai City and arriving at Shanyin Pass spread throughout the world. It made the commoners feel anxious and worried every day, and they even felt resentment towards the Northern Region.
When the war came, they were the most miserable. They did not have enough to eat or wear, and they might even be forcefully dragged to the front line!
Why did the Northern Territory attack Da Feng? Causing chaos in the world?
This was what many people thought.
However, when a famous scholar of the scholarly faction stood up to clear the name of the Northern Territory, many people couldn't help but hesitate. Was all of this really caused by the Northern Territory?
"Is the Northern Territory really the instigator of the war? No, it wasn't! As everyone knew, the Xu family of the north had guarded the border for 18 years. In these 18 years, who had seen the Xu family plot against them?”
"I believe everyone has seen it with their own eyes. It could be said that the Xu family had rendered meritorious service to Dafeng and had helped the people!”
"The reason why the Northern Territory rebelled was because Emperor Huaiyang…"
This great scholar started from what the Xu family of the north had done for Da Feng over the years. He then talked about Emperor Huaiyang's imperial edict granting Xu Hao a marriage and asking him to leave the north for Great Peace City.
"What does bestowing marriage mean? Did everyone not understand? Emperor Huaiyang had used the name of bestowing marriage to let Xu Hao enter Great Peace City! Once they entered Great Peace City, the life and death of the prince would be in Emperor Huaiyang's hands!”
"Let me ask you, if you were to encounter the choice His Highness made back then, what would you do? I believe no one wants to die!"
……
The grand scholar's speech made many people come to a realization.
So the Northern Territory was just like this!
At this moment, many people understood the choice the Northern Territory had made back then. If they were in that position, they would have done the same.
Of course, there were still some people who refuted.
"Even if Emperor Huaiyang is heartless, can't the Northern Territory protect itself? Why did they still attack Da Feng!”
"That's right! In the end, wasn't it because he, Xu Hao, wanted to be the emperor?”
"That's right, although Emperor Huaiyang was in the wrong, Xu Hao shouldn't have attacked Da Feng and caused the world to be in turmoil!”
These people directly made Emperor Huaiyang's mistake seem like it was not worth mentioning. As for Xu Hao, they were all criticizing him.
It had to be said that these words were very useful. Many commoners were quickly motivated and firmly believed that all of this was Xu Hao's fault.
However, not long after, a piece of news broke out and the entire world was in an uproar. The people of the country were extremely disappointed in Emperor Huaiyang.
"The first news is that Emperor Huaiyang had reached an agreement with Western Liang not long ago. He promised to give Western Liang a prefecture in exchange for Western Liang not attacking the Western Region when Prince Yan attacked the Northern Region!”
This news was undoubtedly very shocking. At the same time, many people did not suspect that this news was fake.
This was because when Prince Yan transferred all the border troops from the western region to the northern region, they were already suspicious.
The Western Region Army was gone, so why didn't Western Liang attack the border of Dafeng?
Or rather, why was Emperor Huaiyang so confident that he could transfer the entire Western Region army away?
Therefore, when this news came out, only a few people were still clamoring, saying that it was fake and that there was no such thing.
However, it was useless. Many commoners had already believed this fact. They were filled with righteous indignation and were extremely disappointed in Huaiyang Monarch.
After all, the people of the state that was ceded would be enslaved by Western Liang from now on!
However, although they were angry, they could only curse in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.
However, they didn't dare to do so, but there were people who did.
"In order to attack the Northern Region, he actually gave up one of his provinces to Western Liang as a condition for not attacking! Emperor Huaiyang! Why are you so muddle-headed!"
"How can such a muddle-headed person serve the emperor? If he can cede a province to Western Liang for benefits, he can sell you to the enemy country in the future!”
"Such an emperor ruling is the sorrow of the world, and even more so, the sorrow of the people!”
"Think about it. How many mistakes has this fatuous ruler made since he took over? How is your life now?”
"Although people will die in war, rather than enduring the rule of a fatuous ruler, why not cut the Gordian knot and change the sky?”
The Confucian scholars from all over Dafeng stepped forward and criticized Emperor Huaiyang.
Their words resonated with many commoners.
Ever since Emperor Huaiyang ascended the throne, the entire Da Feng had been in deep waters!
If you say that Emperor Huaiyang is cultivating, then so be it! He was still worried about others and put all his strength in his hands.
For example, although the prime minister wanted to govern Dafeng, he didn't have enough power and couldn't do much.
Although many commoners did not dare to agree with the words of those Confucian Saints, a seed gradually grew in their hearts.
It was better to have a short-term pain than a long-term pain. Instead of being in deep trouble for a long time, it was better to have a war and overthrow Emperor Huaiyang.
At this moment, countless people thought of the Crown Prince of the Northern Territory.
These days, many Confucian scholars were talking about the good things in the Northern Region. They talked about how the Crown Prince had killed the hedonistic sons of rich families and how he had reorganized the officialdom. In any case, they talked about how peaceful the Northern Region was and how happy the people in the Northern Region were.
Actually, they had vaguely heard of this before.
"If that prince can really overthrow Emperor Huaiyang, then we will definitely be able to get out of this miserable situation.”
For a moment, many people changed their minds. Their resentment towards the Northern Territory slowly turned into anticipation.
"Do you know why Shanhai City only had 50,000 soldiers when Prince Yan's 500,000 troops arrived in the north?”
"Why?"
"Because the 170,000 elites of the Northern Territory were all transferred to the border of Liangzhou to guard the border!”
"Look, this is the Northern Territory. This is the prince! In order to prevent foreign enemies from entering the country, he did not hesitate to place most of his troops at the borders. He used only fifty thousand troops to fight against Prince Yan's five hundred thousand troops!”
"Compared to Emperor Huaiyang's betrayal of his country, this prince is a peerless wise ruler!”
This news was the last straw that broke the camel's back. On this day, countless people respected Xu Hao.
Facing Da Feng's army of hundreds of thousands, the prince had never thought of defecting to the enemy country, nor had he thought of staking everything on fighting Da Feng.
No one had expected that this prince would be so arrogant. He would rather use 50,000 troops to fight 500,000 than open the gates to the border!
"I want to apologize to His Highness because I scolded him before!”
"I'm suddenly not afraid of death anymore. If we can let His Highness become the Emperor, then wouldn't our descendants be able to live a good life?”
"That's right! F * ck him, let's fight! After this generation suffers, our sons and grandsons will enjoy a good life in the future!”
"Your Highness, hurry up and call me!”
"No, I have to write a letter to my son and ask him to leave Dafeng's army! Damn it, if he doesn't come back, I'll die in front of him!”
……
In just nine days, the entire world had changed. Whether it was the hearts of the people or the fishing boats, at this moment, they were all on the side of the Northern Territory.
Moreover, this was not the end. The great Confucians from all over the world, teachers from private schools, and all those who were related to Confucianism were constantly rushing around to build up momentum for the Northern Territory.
During this period, the Six Fan School and the yamen in various places had also taken action to suppress the Confucian scholars.
However, the effect was minimal!
The Confucianists seemed to be unafraid of death. After killing one, another would appear.
Moreover, they couldn't possibly kill all those scholarly disciples, right?
Moreover, the entire world's fishing forces were now leaning towards the Northern Territory. Killing these Confucian scholars would only worsen the situation in Dafeng.
"Although we are ants, we should also have the ambition of a swan. We should establish our hearts for the heavens and earth, establish our lives for the people, inherit the ultimate arts for the afterlife, and create peace for all things!”
This was a phrase that many Confucian scholars had been saying recently. It was also this phrase that made them feel as if they had found their ideals and were willing to die for the Northern Territory.
It was on the ninth day that Zhao Zhen found a clue to the words carved in the Confucian Scholar Palace.
Soon, through this clue, he found out who carved it.
However, when he found out, he instantly felt uncomfortable.
"It's actually Xu Hao again? Good plan, good plan!"
At this moment, he finally understood why Xu Hao had suddenly come to Da Feng, and why the scholarly faction had participated!
However, it was too late.
For some reason, Six Fan School did not hide this news and even took the initiative to announce it.
For a time, as this news spread, Xu Hao's prestige in Da Feng rose even higher.
Countless commoners discussed animatedly and worshipped Xu Hao to the extreme.
Just like that, the ninth day slowly passed, and the tenth day arrived!
