Chapter 1656: Before the Sun Rises, the War Will Begin
"What can I do?" Jun Yexuan glanced at his legs, then looked up at her with an innocent look on his face.
Looking at his appearance, he can't get out on his own and it seems like he really can't make much waves.
But Gu Yunxi didn't believe that he didn't do anything.
"You want me to check it myself?" She snorted.
Jun Yexuan's eyes were filled with a smile: "I just asked Qin Mu to find some people to spread the word in the city."
"So, you want him to find some people to dress up as ordinary people and say that Your Majesty loves the people like his own children, and although the army is short of food, he still wants to have fun with the people?"
Jun Yexuan didn't say anything, just smiled.
This girl is smart and she understands things immediately. There is no need to say more.
They were indeed short of food.
The common people do have some stored grain, but if they do not give it away willingly, those in power cannot force them to do so.
Coercion will easily cause public resentment.
At this time, he was nicer to the people, and then let a "grateful" citizen go around spreading his love for Prince Xuan, Jinzhou City, and even the Northern Emperor, and take the lead in delivering food.
Those people with patriotic hearts will gradually follow suit.
"Do you think I'm deceiving everyone?" Jun Yexuan suddenly asked.
"Do you care about what I think?" Gu Yunxi looked at him.
"Didn't you say that we are old friends?" He moved his thin lips slightly, as if smiling: "I always care about my friends' opinions. I don't have many real friends in my life."
Gu Yunxi felt a little sad. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Jinzhou City will soon be in flames. If Prince Zheng wins and the army enters the city, knowing that the people supported you in the first place, Prince Zheng will not treat them well."
"When the time comes, the people will grab whatever they have, and the little food they have will be cleared out. In this case, we might as well give the food to the army and take a gamble."
If they win, they will all be founding heroes.
Lost, that's the result.
After all, we are all in the same boat.
Gu Yunxi pushed him.
Today, they are still on the city wall, but two days ago, when Jun Yexuan was still unconscious, Mu Qinian ordered people to build a ladder, making it very convenient for wheelchairs to go up and down.
Looking at the bustling crowd in the city, Gu Yunxi said, "In six days, you will ascend the throne."
Jun Yexuan lowered his eyes and looked at his legs.
On the day of his enthronement, he must stand up. He cannot be an incomplete emperor in front of all the soldiers and civilians!
"I'll ask Qi Nian to make a pair of leggings. When the time comes, you can wear them and stand in front of everyone. Try to shorten the time as much as possible. But..."
Gu Yunxi looked at him and sighed: "There will always be harm."
"It's okay." Jun Yexuan's eyes reflected the bustling crowd in the city.
Gu Yunxi also looked at the bustling scene on the ten-mile-long street below the city wall.
She said: "After I ascend the throne, within ten days, war will break out."
Prince Zheng couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Ever since they spread the news that Prince Xuan was the orphan of the Northern Emperor, Prince Zheng must have been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, wishing to tear Jun Yexuan apart immediately.
Now that Jun Yexuan dared to proclaim himself emperor, how could he sit still?
Gu Yunxi grabbed the corner of his clothes and said in a deep voice: "Starting tomorrow, I want to select strong men in the city to strengthen our army. Do you have any objection?"
