The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

When Ji Ling was about to sink into the abyss of collapsed faith, he suddenly learned that his father and brother were going to rebel!

All kinds of refutations in his mind were wrong, but his faith was reviving, and his heart told him that his previous thoughts were correct, but the emperor and the dynasty were wrong. As long as he changed the dynasty, he could realize everything he wanted in his heart.

Those whose faith has been revived have the strongest obsession. After throwing off the shackles, Ji Ling welcomed a new life. In a short period of time, he went from a decadent person to a person who was not inferior to Ji Chen in all aspects.

The struggle for peace of mind officially began.

Zhao Guo

Now it is the harvest season in Zhao State again. The potatoes that Ming Huaixi had people plant last year have some seeds, and it is time to harvest again this year. As long as the yield per mu is stable, Ming Huaixi can report it to Emperor Zhaoming and promote it in Zhao State in the future.

Ming Huaixi also gave birth to a handsome boy, and Yang Xiuyuan named him Yang Chenghuai.

It has been a while since Ming Huaixi came out of confinement after giving birth, and now it's the perfect time for her to go out and go to the farm.

"Princess, there's a letter from the old marquis." Before Ming Huaixi went to the farm, Caiyun brought her a letter from Jingguo.

"Now my grandfather has cooperated with the Ji family."

“Princess, do you think the Ji family will be successful in the future?”

"Caiyun, what do you think of my father?"

Caiyun knew that Emperor Sheng Yuan did not hold a large position in Ming Huaixi's heart, so she boldly expressed her evaluation of Emperor Sheng Yuan, "I think Your Majesty is not a good emperor."

"Yes, father is not a good emperor, so the throne should be held by someone who can be a good emperor." Caiyun is Ming Huaixi's confidant, and Ming Huaixi never hides some things from her.

"But Princess, if His Majesty's rule is overthrown, will it affect us?" Caiyun was more worried about Ming Huaixi's situation in Zhao State. After all, Ming Huaixi was married to Zhao State in order to consolidate the alliance between the two countries. If the dynasty changed, Ming Huaixi's situation in Zhao State would become very embarrassing.

Ming Huaixi looked up at the blue sky outside, and just then a bird flew through the air and disappeared into the horizon.

"Caiyun, do you know why I asked the caravan to look for new crops that can be grown in Zhao? I never wanted to travel around Zhao as a princess who married into the Zhao Kingdom. Those are unreliable. Only when you truly make achievements can you truly make your own decisions."

"So the princess has made plans so early. I heard from the people on the farm that the potato yield this year has reached over a thousand kilograms. If the princess offers them as an offering, she will be a hero to the entire Zhao State. That's great." Caiyun understood immediately. Now that the identity issue had been solved, she felt like she had lost ten kilograms and felt relaxed.

Ming Huaixi once again focused his attention on the letter from the old Marquis of Xinyang. The old marquis said that he would contact General Xing in person. This made Ming Huaixi a little worried, afraid that something might happen to the old marquis. At the same time, he felt that Ji Chen was going a bit too far. The old marquis was already old, and it was really too much to ask the old marquis to do it personally.

Even though she knew that General Xing had some connection with her mother, people's hearts are fickle and she didn't know how long those favors could last.

Lingnan

"General Xing, are you really not going to consider it?" The old Marquis of Xinyang secretly came to Lingnan to meet with General Xing.

"I was promoted by Your Majesty, and I cannot betray Your Majesty. You have done me a favor, so I will pretend to be unaware of this matter. I hope you can forgive me." General Xing rejected the old marquis's persuasion.

The old marquis knew that he was a tough nut to crack, but there were ways around it. He sighed inwardly, thinking that it had come to this. "So can we forget about A-Yan's matter?"

"What do you mean?" General Xing's sharp eyes, tempered on the battlefield, instantly locked onto the old Marquis of Xinyang.

However, the old Marquis of Xinyang was not affected at all, and was not surprised by General Xing's reaction. The old Marquis poured another cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and said slowly, "Back then, Ayan saved your life, and you two fell in love with each other. However, fate played a trick on you. Ayan, as a girl from the Marquis of Xinyang's mansion, had to go to the palace as a hostage, and you two broke up from then on. After that, Ayan became the Li Fei, who was spoiled in the harem, and you, as the emperor's confidant, became General Xing today. But you haven't married yet, and I guess it has something to do with Ayan. Does the general still remember Ayan?"

At this time, General Xing also returned to normal. Facing his sweetheart's father, General Xing chose to confess, "You are right, I really can't forget Ayan, and I can't accept another person other than Ayan to be my wife."

The old marquis seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly turned red, but his voice was still as steady as ever, "What if I tell you that Ayan's death was not an accident?"

——With a clang

General Xing stood up so hastily that he overturned the table in front of him and asked in a hurried tone, "You are saying, you are saying that Your Majesty was involved in Ayan's death,"

The old marquis' voice could no longer maintain its original calmness, and a trembling, choking voice flowed out from the old marquis' mouth, "My Ayan was dragged to death by His Majesty. It was because I handed over the military power too early that His Majesty no longer had any scruples and killed my Ayan."

When the old Marquis of Xinyang learned the truth, he kept blaming himself. He felt that he had handed over the military power too early, otherwise how could the emperor dare to treat his daughter like this.

Now that he said it again, his heart still ached.

The old Marquis of Xinyang, who was obsessed with a single point, forgot that if he had not handed over the military power at that time, what might have been waiting for him in the end might have been a reckoning by Emperor Sheng Yuan, and perhaps his entire family would have been implicated.

“Ah, ahhhh, ahhhhh.”

- Clank, - Clank

When General Xing heard the news, he became like a madman, shouting in the room, raising his foot and venting his anger on the table below.

After a while, the room returned to peace. The general, who had been so mighty just now, was now squatting on the ground, holding his head, looking like a frustrated man.

After a long while, General Xing's voice rang out in the room, "I promise you that I will cooperate with the Ji family, but I hope he will let me go back to the countryside after he takes the throne. I hope he will choose a good commander and not mistreat the soldiers. Old Marquis, I have one more thing to say. Princess Mingyue is Ayan's daughter. At that time, she was married as Princess Jingguo. I request that after the Ji family ascends the throne, they can provide convenience to the princess and continue this marriage."

The old Marquis of Xinyang stood up and patted General Xing on the shoulder. "Yes, I brought up the Lingnan Army, and I will not watch them ruin. Xi'er is also my granddaughter, and I will make plans for her."

Zhao Guo

"What? My father asked me for help and asked me to ask His Majesty Zhao for troops to put down the rebellion." Ming Huaixi looked at the letter in his hand and felt confused. What was my father thinking? Am I not a princess married to a foreign country? What real power can a princess married to a foreign country have?

"Caiyun, tell the messenger directly that Mingyue is just a woman, and as a princess married to a foreign king, she has no real power and cannot help father in any way."

"It's the princess." Caiyun sent the messenger away after receiving the message.

Emperor Shengyuan burned himself to death in the Jingguo Palace in the 359th year of the Jingli period. The rule of the Ming family ended thereafter. Ji Chen finally ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Zhou. However, the first edict of this emperor was that General Xing, who had helped him ascend the throne, should retire from the army.

In the later period, the officials who followed Ji Chen were a little scared and did not dare to act recklessly by taking advantage of their status as followers of the emperor. Ji Chen ordered that in order to maintain good relations with the State of Zhao, Princess Mingyue would still be a princess of the State of Zhou.

Ming Huaixi's farm has grown frost-resistant crops in recent years. The grain production in Zhao State has changed from a one-year system to a three-year system. The promotion of high-yield crops such as potatoes has enabled the people of Zhao State to fill their stomachs. Ming Huaixi's achievements are regarded as immortal in the hearts of the people of Zhao State.

Emperor Zhaoming eventually appointed the second prince as the crown prince, and all the other princes of Zhao, except Yang Xiuyuan, were sent out of the capital to remote fiefdoms.

When Yang Xiuyuan's son grew up, Yang Xiuyuan retired from the court and traveled with Ming Huaixi, not returning home all year round.

In the end, the two died in different places. After their death, their ashes were brought back by their servants and buried together by their sons, fulfilling the saying "living in the same bed, dying in the same grave."
