I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

By the time other surrounding countries discovered the advanced waterwheel, it had already been officially introduced in the Southern Dynasty for a month.

During this month, the entire Southern Dynasty was united as one, and the production of high-end water wheels was in full swing.

As advanced water wheels appeared one after another on the ridges of fields all over the Southern Dynasty and kinetic crystals were placed on them one after another, the sound of flowing water and cheers continued to echo throughout the Southern Dynasty.

This naturally attracted the attention of neighboring countries.

The royal palace of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

Emperor Manyou has not had a good time in the past month.

Suddenly, someone among the people claimed to be the only descendant of Prince Nanli, Nan'an who was supposed to have died in the fire!

Not only that, Nan'an also announced to the public that the Gu King, who was worshipped as a god by the Nanman people, was now in his body! And the high and mighty Manyou Emperor was not of the orthodox Nanman royal bloodline, and was not capable of raising the Gu King!

Moreover! The truth behind Nan Li's death was that it was Prime Minister Su who was responsible for the murder! He was also the real grandfather of Emperor Manyou!

Once this news broke out, Emperor Manyou became extremely panicked, and even Prime Minister Su, who was always calm and composed, had a worried look on his face.

Because this time, Nan'an not only blatantly exposed his previous plan, regardless of where Nan'an got the information, the more crucial thing is that the news that Emperor Manyou is not of the orthodox bloodline of the Nanman royal family was completely exposed!

In recent years, because there was no way to take out the Gu King, Emperor Manyou and Prime Minister Su had to use tough measures in order to break the status of Gu insects among the southern barbarians. However, no matter how they oppressed, the effect was counterproductive.

Prime Minister Su had planned everything back then, but he never expected that the King of Gu needed the orthodox bloodline of the Nanman royal family to be raised. Even the other Gu worms of the Nanman royal family had to be of the orthodox bloodline of the Nanman royal family to be raised. This meant that even if they wanted to use ordinary royal Gu worms to impersonate the King of Gu, they couldn't do it!

If he had known this earlier, Prime Minister Su would have retained a royal bloodline! But it was too late to say anything now!

If the man who claimed to be Nan'an was really a child of Nanli, then this matter could not be resolved by just suppressing it. The key point was that Nan'an had gathered a group of people from nowhere and directly raised the banner of rebellion! This caught Emperor Manyou and Prime Minister Su off guard, and they immediately organized the imperial army to encircle and suppress them.

However, the Southern Dynasty's 200,000 troops in the north were no pushovers. They directly withstood several waves of encirclement and suppression by the Southern Barbarian Imperial Court Army. Coincidentally, in each encirclement and suppression, it was the Southern Barbarian Imperial Court Army that suffered heavy casualties, while the Southern Dynasty army only suffered wounded soldiers without any sacrifice.

I don’t know if it’s God’s blessing…

At the same time, as Nan'an's remarks gradually spread, more and more southern barbarians began to believe what he said and began to join the rebel army.

In recent years, the people of the Southern Barbarians have been quite dissatisfied with the fact that Emperor Manyou has not taken out the Gu King.

You know, the Gu King is the true supreme being in the hearts of the Nanman people. It's just that due to his special nature, he can only be fed with the blood of the Nanman royal family. And according to convention, the Nanman royal family should hold a Gu King parade every few years to give the people the opportunity to admire the Gu King.

However, since the death of Prince Nanli, until the accession of Emperor Manyou to the throne more than ten years ago, the people of Nanman had never seen the Gu King again. How could this not arouse the people's suspicion?

In addition, after Emperor Manyou ascended the throne, the policies he and Prime Minister Su implemented became increasingly harsh, which made the people of Southern Barbarians even more dissatisfied, and the voices of protest in various places grew stronger.

Now, someone claims that he is the orthodox bloodline of the Nanman royal family, and the biological son of Prince Nanli. The most important thing is that the Gu King is in his body!

This shocking news made those who had previously doubted even more certain of their inner speculations. In addition, the people who had joined the rebels saw the Gu King with their own eyes, so they could not help but believe it!

Therefore, after the uprising, Nan'an successfully gained the support of countless people.

As the news spread, the rebel army grew larger and larger. With the continuous supply of food from the Southern Dynasty and the effective training of the rebel army by the mighty general and other Southern Dynasty generals, in just half a month, the rebel army was able to fight back and forth with the imperial army and even had the upper hand.

The key point is that even some people within the imperial army gradually secretly defected to the rebel army in Nan'an.

Although they are the Nanman imperial army, they are essentially Nanman people. Their admiration for the Gu King is ingrained in their bones!

As more and more rumors about the rebels spread among the people, many imperial troops began to believe that the Majesty they were now loyal to was not of the orthodox bloodline of the Southern Barbarian royal family. What was even more unacceptable to them was that the Gu King was not in his Majesty!

Therefore, after the rebel army faced the imperial army, they were unstoppable and less than half a month later, they had reached the capital of the Southern Barbarians.

Just when Emperor Manyou was in a state of panic, the news of the Southern Dynasty's advanced water wheels reached the Southern Barbarians, further arousing the Southern Barbarians' dissatisfaction and even resentment towards Emperor Manyou!

The neighboring Southern Dynasty is a country several times stronger than the Southern Barbarians. How could their Majesty be so considerate of the people and provide such advanced farm tools to the people for free without asking for any return!

Where is their Nanman Majesty? He is just squeezing me! He can't even get the Gu King out!

Thus, the Southern Dynasty's advanced waterwheel inadvertently added fuel to the revenge plan against Nan'an!

The situation in southern Xinjiang is more smooth than that in southern barbarians.

The appearance of Helan Zhen immediately caused the people of southern Xinjiang to despise the actions of the southern Xinjiang royal family.

The Southern Dynasty delegation also took advantage of the public outrage to make public the fact that Helan Zhen had used despicable means to murder the Southern Dynasty's Prince An and General Longxi, and demanded an explanation from Southern Xinjiang!

At the same time, the fact that Helan Zhen was having fun every night with different illegitimate sons of the Southern Dynasty was widely publicized!

Under the secret manipulation of Princess Yunyue, Lu Heng and Prince Lan, Linglong Pavilion released a new piece of news. It was this news that greatly promoted the progress of the Southern Dynasty delegation's mission!

The message is, "If one's position is not right and one's morals are not proper, one will eventually bring disaster upon himself and the people will be implicated! Only by putting order out of chaos can the problem be resolved!"

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar!

Considering the current situation in southern Xinjiang, it is hard not to make the people of southern Xinjiang think too much!

As a result, the rumors gradually began to approach the truth!

"I said there was something fishy about the eldest prince's death! Now it seems that it was that person (pointing finger upwards) who did it!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Do you still want the head?"

"What's the point of having a head! Now the Southern Dynasty has come to call for punishment. For the stupid things done by the current and previous national masters, the Southern Dynasty may attack us at any time! They are now using courtesy first and then force. If the national master can't come up with a good solution, the Southern Dynasty will definitely send troops to attack us directly! Won't we lose our heads by then?"

"So if we want to crack it now, we have to do as Linglong Pavilion said and set things right? But where is this?"
