Looking at the current situation, they found that it was much easier than they thought to disturb the Cheng Zhou Kingdom.

The people's grievances have been accumulated for a long time, and with the dishonesty of the vassal kings, after these are combined, there is really a lot to do.

"Let's take action, are you clear about the previous plan? Don't make mistakes!"

"Don't worry, although this matter has not been done yet, it is not very simple for us?"

After speaking, I immediately went down to make arrangements.

The next day, when the sky was dimly lit in the early morning, the people went to work in the fields one after another.

And one of them suddenly discovered that half of the stele was exposed in the land on the hillside, and there seemed to be something on the stele.

Strange in my heart, I walked over.

Just a moment later, the commoner was taken aback. After he approached, there were faint sounds from the stone tablet.

"Come here quickly, the stele has manifested, the stele has manifested!"

The people who were limp on the ground quickly yelled at the rest of the people.

The rest of the people were still preparing to go to the field, but when they heard the shouts from here, they also rushed over.

"What apparition? Liu Zong, don't talk nonsense!"

A commoner approached and scolded.

Liu Zong pointed at the soldier, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and said with trembling fingers.

"It's true, listen carefully!"

The rest of the people also took a step forward when they heard the words, and after listening carefully, they immediately backed away in shock.

When they were just now, they really heard the voice coming from the stone tablet.

More and more people, after noticing the situation here, all approached this side. Some common people heard the voice and quickly knelt down, begging the blessing of the Bodhisattva in a panic.

There are also some people who are listening quietly, wanting to know what the voice is saying.

After a long time, the stele finally lost its sound.

It's just that what happened here quickly spread.

"Have you heard? A stone tablet has just been released outside the city. The stone tablet can speak, as if it is saying that Cheng Zhou is dead, and the king of Wu should stand."

"The stone tablet speaks, is it true or false?"

When the other person heard the words, his face was full of disbelief.

After all, he had never heard of it before, so naturally he would not believe such words.

"Of course it's true. Just Liutouzi and his family in the south of the city. You know, they saw and heard it with their own eyes. How could they be wrong!"

Seeing that the others did not believe it, the person who spoke hastily opened his mouth to defend himself.

When the rest of the people heard this, they suddenly regained their spirits.

"Did you see it with your own eyes? What was the scene at that time, tell me quickly and listen."

It is quite boring on weekdays, but now listening to such anecdotes, it naturally provoked the people around them to become more energetic.

"At that time, some people still saw the stele and felt that something was wrong, so they moved forward to look at it. How did they know that they heard the sound coming from the stele just now, and hundreds of people heard it at that time.

Everyone said that this was the manifestation of the mountain god, and they didn't know if it was the mountain god. "

Hundreds of people have heard it?

Hearing this, the rest of the people on the side were shocked.

If there are just one or two people, then it may be fake, but if there are hundreds of people, it is almost impossible to be fake.

After all, it is too difficult to collude with hundreds of people to lie together.

But, how does this stele speak?Could it be that there is really a god appearing?

Everyone is puzzled.

"What about the stele, where is it now?"

In addition, someone quickly asked, if you can know where the stele is, then you can go and see it.

"Just now he was dug up by King Wu's men and taken away."

The scholar shook his head and said something.

King Wu?

Everyone frowned when they heard this, and then their hearts moved, "Just now you said, the voice from the stone tablet is that Cheng Zhou is dead, and King Wu should be established?"

"Yes."

Lunjin Scholar nodded in agreement.

The rest of the people suddenly gasped, Chengzhou is dead, the meaning of King Wu should be established, doesn't it mean that the Kingdom of Chengzhou should perish, and King Wu should obey the destiny and become emperor?

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

It is said that the emperor was enthroned in accordance with the destiny, but looking at the situation now, the sky no longer blesses the Chengzhou Kingdom, so speaking of it, is the Chengzhou Kingdom really going to be destroyed?

The rest of the people also thought of this, and their faces became a little more exciting.

What they didn't know was that similar situations had happened in the territories of other vassal kings.

A fox that speaks human words, or a huge white snake in the mountains, all make the territories of these vassal kings extremely unusual.

It's just that for these vassal kings, this matter seems to be a good thing, which makes them grow stronger and become an ambition based on their eagerness to move around.

And when the common people spread the news, they also became relentless.

I am already extremely dissatisfied with these exorbitant taxes, and now I am even more dissatisfied because I have to pay for the emperor's birthday.

Now, when I heard the news that the Chengzhou Kingdom was about to be destroyed, it naturally became more embellished when it was spread.

6 Chapter Fifty

Inherited the capital of Zhou Kingdom.

In Emperor Yunmo's imperial study, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and the few ministers on the side did not dare to speak, and their faces were pale.

"Have you checked out the rumors outside?"

Emperor Yunmo slapped the table and asked angrily.

The ministers looked at each other, and the minister of the Ministry of War came out to answer.

"Your Majesty, many spies have been sent to investigate. It seems that the rumors are not just rumors. Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes."

"Oh!"

Before the other party could speak, the emperor above couldn't help but slapped the table.

"You mean, these vassal kings are all obedient to the fate, and should all become emperors, and I, Zhou Guohe, should perish?"

What did this guy say, this is not a rumor, does it mean that this is the fact, this is the appearance of a god?

Thinking of this, the face of the emperor above became even more ugly.

The minister of the Ministry of War immediately understood what the emperor meant, and fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.

"The emperor spared his life, but this is not the minister's intention."

The minister of the Ministry of War was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. Only then did he realize that if he didn't take this as a rumor, then he had the intention to complete the Zhou kingdom.

The rest of the people didn't dare to say so much at this moment. They knew that they were pleading, and they were afraid that they would be implicated.

It's just that it's hard for them to say that this really doesn't seem to be a rumor.

According to the news sent back by the subordinates, there are hundreds of people who know about it, and what they say is in a decent way, not like a rumor.

Could it be said that the Kingdom of Cheng Zhou is really about to perish?

The ministers were uneasy and did not dare to show it on their faces.

"Forget it, I will pardon you this time."

He wanted to execute the other party, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.

Right now, internal and external troubles are extremely serious, and it is absolutely impossible to kill ministers at will.

Otherwise, the other ministers will be disappointed, and it will be troublesome at that time.

"How are those vassals? What's the matter?"

"Returning to the emperor, after hearing these rumors, those vassals seem to want to spread these rumors on purpose, and now their fiefdoms are full of rumors, and they have spread to the imperial capital.

Judging by their looks, they definitely have bad intentions, and they should have caused the rumors. "

Not to mention whether it is a rumor or not, if it is a rumor, then this matter is definitely inseparable from these vassal kings.

What also worries them is that after these vassal kings have these rumors, they are all ready to rebel now, which makes the ministers feel uneasy.

Emperor Yunmo's face turned blue when he heard the words, and he also felt that these rumors were caused by these vassal kings.

"I originally thought that as long as these vassal kings enter the capital, they will not be allowed to go back. In this way, they will be firmly in control of their fiefs.

As long as they die, the heirs of those vassal kings, so many people will fight for the fief together, and it will become a mess at that time, which is nothing to worry about, but now such a thing happened! "

He was also anxious.

Originally, a minister suggested that the whole country celebrate this birthday, so that they can also order the vassal princes to enter the capital.

When these vassal kings have not risen, they absolutely cannot directly resist the edict.

This move is still very good in their opinion.

At this time, the vassal kings are still struggling. If they don't go, they will openly defy the imperial court and send troops, and it is justifiable. They are not easy to deal with.

But if he wanted to go, then he might lose his life.

It seems that it is impossible to directly raise troops to rebel. There is no reason. If you want to rebel directly, the people will not obey.

What's more, if the other vassal kings stand on the sidelines, he will definitely not be able to please him.

Originally, the calculations were pretty good, but now that something happened, it gave these vassals a reason.

The common people don't care that much, these rumors are enough for the common people to believe and support them to rebel.

The ministers have no other choice at this time.

There is no way to make a similar rumor. After all, they are the imperial court. How can the imperial court, which is just and proper, make such a rumor?And it is easy to be dismantled.

According to the news they knew, they hadn't guessed how it was done at this time, and there was no flaw at all.

"Urgent report!"

While the ministers were discussing the countermeasures with the emperor, an urgent report came into the imperial study, and then saw a guard rushing in and knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, the vassal kings from all over the world have rebelled under the banner!"

"what?"

When Emperor Yunmo heard the words, he stood up suddenly, with an expression of disbelief already on his face.

"Is there a misrepresentation?" Emperor Yunmo asked with some hope.

"Returning to the emperor, there is no misinformation. These vassals have already bought the prefects of ten cities, and now these ten cities are already theirs."

boom.

Hearing this news, the other ministers on the side couldn't sit still.

These vassal kings even bribed the people of the court, and took ten cities directly without bloodshed?Is this worth it?

There are only so many cities in Chengzhou Kingdom. After subtracting the original territories of these vassals, the current court territory is not as much as these vassals.

Emperor Yunmo's figure was on the verge of falling, then he gritted his teeth suddenly and said angrily.

"Immediately send a large army to suppress them, and let my cavalry trample them down!"

He spent a lot of money before, and went to Xing Seoul to buy thousands of war horses. Now that the iron cavalry has already formed an army, he will use these vassal kings to sacrifice the flag!

"Go all, immediately mobilize the army to suppress the rebels!"

Emperor Yunmo roared angrily one after another.

"Your Majesty, who is the general?"
