"Illusions? What's that?" Yue Guanchao and the others had never heard of any illusions, and now that they heard Gu Hengxi talk about this thing, they immediately became curious.

Seeing that they didn't understand the situation, Gu Xixi explained the origin of their illusion ritual!

The so-called illusion instrument is actually a device used by illusionists to create large-scale illusions, and this kind of instrument can appear entirely because of the Queen of Shanshan of Shanshan Kingdom.

Back then, after Queen Shanshan ruled Shanshan, she claimed that her jade pendant had mysterious powers and gradually stabilized her rule.

It's just that the people of the city-state have only heard that the jade pendant has a mysterious power, and they have never known what this mysterious power is, and no one has seen the mysterious power being urged with their own eyes.

Some people with ulterior motives began to cater to this suspicion, claiming that the jade pendant was equivalent to a hoax, deceiving all the people, and was only used to maintain the rule, in fact, what the queen got in her hands was nothing more than a useless stone.

This statement is very noisy, and it also exacerbates the resistance of some opposition parties to Queen Shanshan!

To put it in layman's terms, they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, they don't regret not hitting the south wall, as long as they don't see the power of the queen to urge the jade pendant, then they think it's a huge scam.

This kind of suspicion and questioning, of course, the queen sees it, but the power of the jade pendant is more sensed by the manipulator himself, rather than being able to manifest people, these people's suspicions about her, she is powerless to prove anything, after all, what she can sense, it is impossible for other subjects to empathize.

If it was only the people who doubted her, the queen could still bear it, but he was more afraid of some people with intentions, with the help of the people's suspicion of her, to join forces and engage in the east and west, and finally threaten the ruling foundation of Shanshan Kingdom.

In fact, just as Queen Shanshan expected, these people have indeed begun to take advantage of the voice of the people and subjects, and some troubled actions are even more difficult to deal with when these actions are initiated by the old nobles.

At the beginning, the Shanshan royal family and the Chang Bora royal family merged the legal system, and there must be some negotiation and trade-off, that is to say, the interests of some people are destined to be sacrificed, these people were all royal families or nobles of Shanshan State before, and it is very likely that they will become kings or regent nobles under the succession law of Shanshan State.

It is completely unfavorable for them to rule Shanshan Kingdom by the royal family of Chang Bharata, on the one hand, it makes them lose the inheritance qualification to become a king and the right to become a regent royal family, and on the other hand, they also have to cede more benefits to the Yan Bharattic nobles, which means that in addition to retaining the noble status, all the rights of the Shanshan nobles may be completely lost in the future, and even when they are still alive, they are already losing their noble status.

No one wants to see their own interests suffered, and even their aristocratic status no longer exists, they have their own little calculations in their hearts, and of course they don't want the Shanshan royal family and the Chang Bharata royal family to merge with the legal system, and they have repeatedly obstructed and refused to compromise when negotiating.

In the context of the depletion of the oasis of the ancient Shanshan country, anyone's opposition was pressed down by the Shanshan royal family, and there was no place to cry and oppose, and the two royal families finally completed the legal merger, thus becoming the new Shanshan Dynasty and beginning the era of the queen's rule.

Although Shanshanguo's opposition was suppressed, because these opponents were all old nobles, there was no way to punish them severely, and when they made a big fuss, they could only reprimand and punish them, and they could not take their lives, leaving a hidden tail for the queen's regent.

Later, most of the nobles have accepted the reality, and only a small number of nobles who are unwilling to give up their interests remain, still choose to resist, and they have also learned a lot smarter, ostensibly respecting the royal family and respecting the legal system, and behaving like no different from other nobles.

Behind the scenes, the homeless beggars who bought the Shanshan Kingdom began to spread rumors about the Queen of Shanshan, mainly focusing on the fact that the Jade Pendant of the Queen of Shanshan did not have any divine power, but it was just a sacred object deliberately created by the old royal family in order to promote the merger of the legal system, which was actually useless.

This kind of thinking was quickly accepted by some rabble, and was used to attack the Shanshan royal family when life was not satisfactory, and even used this rumor to expose it, trying to break the territory and seal the territory, trying to self-government, or simply making a little more useless, to

These people's chaos is used as a bargaining chip in exchange for an official and a half position in the imperial court.

This kind of thing happened more than once during the Queen's reign, and in the end, it even developed into civil riots that openly opposed the Queen's rule.

As the old saying goes, to catch a thief is to catch dirty, and to hit a snake is seven inches, and the royal family knew that these people were all following the chaos of some old nobles, so they decided to start shooting at the old nobles first, and gave the old nobles two ways.

One is to intermarry with the nobles of the Bharatis, and from then on they will be like a family merging interests, and the other way is to rebel with the royal court to the end, and the queen will directly cancel their titles, demote them to commoners, and then punish them according to the law.

Among these two paths, many old nobles chose the first one in the past, and most of them chose to intermarry with the Bharati nobles in order to protect their rights and interests, which is almost the best choice in the current situation where the legal system cannot be separated.

The second way, basically no nobles will choose, they make such a big fuss, nothing more than unwilling to lose their rights and status, if they continue to make trouble, the imperial court will directly cancel their titles, take back all their titles, titles, titles, rewards, fields, manors, slaves, and tribes, and demote them from nobles to commoners, and in the end, there will really be nothing left.

Since they have all made trouble to this point, there is nothing to take care of face, the two choices given to them by the imperial court, most of the old nobles have chosen the first one with a sense of integrity, and the remaining scattered old nobles are unwilling to listen to the words of the imperial court, so they can only become commoners according to the punishment method of the first premise and take back everything.

After dealing with these opposing old nobles, the root cause of the civil riots will be cut to the roots, without the support of these old nobles, the financial and material support of the rebellious people will be gone, and the queen will deal with it, of course, it will be more smooth.

Of course, in the face of these outcasts, it is definitely impossible to be as tough as in the face of the old aristocracy!

They can be so tough on the old nobles because they have a great foundation of interests in Shanshan Kingdom, and their titles, homesteades, manors, fields, rewards, and fortunes are almost all bound to the Shanshan Imperial Court.

If the Shanshan Imperial Court does not exist, then these so-called nobles will become stinky shit, nothing.

In the past, all their rebellions were because of the loss of interests, not because they really wanted to oppose the Shanshan Imperial Court, just to get greater benefits.

To put it more colloquially, these people are not inciting riots for the sake of justice or upholding the legal system, but only to make greater profits, and what they are most afraid of is precisely that the Shanshan Imperial Court will really come with them and cancel all their dominant positions.

In other words, they can't afford to lose at all, they just need to give them enough benefits, and of course they will retreat, in the face of these old nobles, the Shanshan Imperial Court can indeed deal with it in this way, but in the face of riots and displaced people, this method of dealing with it is obviously ineffective.

There is an old saying that the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, these homeless people and beggars themselves have fallen to this point because of the shrinking trade and economic setbacks, and they have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the Shanshan Imperial Court.

If you want to solve them, the Shanshan Imperial Court really has to think a lot!

It is impossible for these people to be completely knighted or rewarded with aristocratic status, nor can they take care of their lives, and constantly give them money to use to squander, even if the Shanshan Imperial Court is a big family, it is impossible to afford all the homeless riots, food, clothing, daily life, birth, old age, sickness and death.

In addition, there are more serious consequences of the large-scale unrest - if other people see that it is profitable, the scale of civil unrest may increase, but it will continue repeatedly.

Regarding this tricky situation, the ministers of the Shanshan Imperial Court also expressed their own views after deliberation.

These homeless people are questioning whether the power of the queen's jade pendant is fake, which will cause many riots, think about it carefully,

Do they really care so much about the authenticity of the power of the jade pendant? If you think about it deeply, you don't necessarily have to deal with them, in fact, these homeless people are worried about their future.

They had already lost their fortune due to the deterioration of the oasis, and now they had reached the point where their families were in danger of migrating, and although the old royal family of Shanshan told them that the Bharats could lead the people to find the oasis, there was no guarantee in the end, it was just empty words.

If the future of the Bharatis fails to fulfill their promises, the old aristocracy may be able to continue to live in good fortune, and they will surely live very badly.

Worries about the deterioration of the future situation of their home and country, despair of their own living conditions, and doubts about the life and death of the oasis continue to haunt the hearts of these displaced people, and in the long run, these displaced people will of course lose more and more confidence in the imperial court. In the end, it caused a riot caused by distrust of the power of the jade pendant.

Taking a step back, even if there were no old nobles questioning the falsification of the power of the jade pendant, there would be other things that would be used as tools by the exiles to relieve the fear and despair in their hearts, and the royal family could not give them any guarantee of survival, and of course they would not trust this ethereal power at all.

If this problem is not solved well, there will be more addiction to this kind of riot and homeless, to put it bluntly, whether it is ordinary people or these homeless people, they have already lost trust in the Shanshan Imperial Court, so they have to break the jar and break it, and go crazy for the last time before they die.

Knowing this, it is imperative to regain the people's confidence in the imperial court as soon as possible, and at the same time to prove to the people that the magical power of the jade pendant is real and not a scam.

Since the people's heart disease is the power of the jade pendant, as long as it is shown to these subjects, the jade pendant really has magical power, then it can make them regain their confidence and have the hope of living again, and only in this way can they dispel their doubts and completely calm the anger in their hearts.
