Gao Wu: Traveling through the heavens in dreams, a professional rebel!

Chapter 172 At the beginning of the chaos, three states rebelled, Qin lost its power, and the world chased it.

After Lin Yaozu's absence, the court meetings did not seem to be affected too much and their efficiency remained the same.

The ministers went back and forth, arguing about state affairs and fighting for power. Everything was proceeding as intensely as usual.

However, for some unknown reason, an indescribable feeling of discomfort gradually arose in the hearts of the ministers.

In this court without an emperor, although they can still fight for their own interests, they always feel that something is missing.

They discussed state affairs every day and maneuvered in the vortex of power, but the nominal emperor of the Wu Dynasty never appeared.

In this solemn court, the scene should have been the puppet emperor sitting high on the dragon throne and his ministers competing with each other.

But now, the dragon throne is empty, as if silently telling of the absence.

In the short term, it may be temporarily ignored, but if it lasts for a long time, the problem will gradually become apparent.

By then, public discussions will gradually increase, and voices of criticism will probably surge like a tide.

Some people will question the legitimacy of the court, some will speculate about the future direction of the country, and all kinds of anxieties and doubts will spread among the people and grassroots officials.

At this moment, the ministers also knew this very well and began to realize it.

Although this nominal emperor Lin Yaozu is just a puppet, he also has a symbolic significance that cannot be ignored.

His existence is like a flag. Although it may flutter in the wind, it at least gives people a sense of direction.

Outside the palace, the ministers were fighting for power in the court, trying their best.

They are always deliberating on national affairs and racking their brains for the future benefits.

Every court meeting is a war without the smoke of gunpowder, in which one tries one's best just to gain a place in this complex political chess game.

However, inside the palace, Emperor Lin Yaozu lived an extremely absurd life.

Those absurd things he did in the palace were heard by the ministers directly or indirectly through various channels.

Some officials heard that the emperor was indulging himself in wine and women, reveling day and night, and not caring about the country or the people.

Some ministers also learned that the emperor was extravagant and was willing to spend a lot of money and resources to satisfy his own selfish desires.

At this moment, the ministers thought of how hard they were trying to fight for power outside.

However, Lin Yaozu, the nominal puppet emperor, lived a carefree and unrestrained life in this luxurious palace.

In my heart, there surged an irrepressible anger and dissatisfaction. The contrast between the two was so sharp and glaring.

This huge contrast also made the ministers even more uncomfortable.

For a time, undercurrents surged in the court.

All the ministers began to think of ways to make trouble for Lin Yaozu.

Like a group of hungry wolves that have smelled their prey, they stared at the emperor who seemed weak and like a puppet.

Some ministers wrote to the emperor, asking Lin Yaozu to return to the palace to handle various trivial matters.

Trying to drag him back to the court full of power struggles, and continue to make him serve as a decoration with no say.

Lin Yaozu turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to all this and continued to live a carefree life in the palace.

In fact, he saw clearly the little thoughts of those guys.

Those ministers seemed righteous and great, but in fact they all had their own ulterior motives.

Some ministers, in order to satisfy their desire for power, wanted to realize their ambitions by controlling the emperor.

Some ministers were trying to find a balance in the complex political situation, and the puppet emperor Lin Yaozu happened to become a chess piece in their hands.

They claim to be working for the country and the people, but in reality they are pursuing their own selfish interests.

Those so-called ministers didn't care about Lin Yaozu's feelings.

They only care about whether they can gain more benefits in this game of power.

However, no matter what they said or did, Lin Yaozu stayed in the harem and amused himself. He just wanted to be happy.

at the same time.

Within the Wu Dynasty, various forces were already ready to make moves and were always paying attention to changes in the situation.

When the information about the puppet emperor Lin Yaozu's absurd behavior in the palace came, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.

In Yizhou, among a group of forces, the leader raised his head and laughed loudly, his laughter was full of arrogance and unruliness.

"Hahaha... the east wind has arrived... the strange phenomenon has just appeared, and the emperor's incompetence has spread throughout the world! This is our chance! From today! Start the rebellion!"

At this moment, his eyes were burning with ambition, as if he saw the moment when he would reach the pinnacle of power.

His men responded immediately, morale was high, they gripped their weapons tightly, ready to fight for a new future.

Somewhere in Yangzhou, the crowd was filled with anger like a surging tide.

Faces turned red with anger after hearing what they heard, and everyone's eyes were burning with rage.

The roars rose and fell like thunder, as if they were going to shatter this corrupt world.

"The court is corrupt and the people are suffering. Officials are corrupt and there is no justice!"

One person raised his arms and shouted, his voice full of grief and indignation.

"The emperor is incompetent, he doesn't care about state affairs, he only cares about pleasure and ignores the country!"

The other man roared and clenched his fists.

"Rise of the army! We can no longer sit and wait for death. We must fight for the people of the world!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices shaking the earth.

"Clear the emperor's side! Eliminate those treacherous ministers, let the emperor return to the right path, and restore peace to the world!"

Slogans echoed in the air, and murderous intent was rising.

In Qingzhou, there are also ambitious forces.

Their leader looked into the distance with a determined gaze and declared loudly.

"The emperor takes turns! This year it's my turn! According to the plan, I will seize Qingzhou and dominate the world!"

At the same moment, the soldiers behind him were all gearing up to show their skills on this land.

Actively prepare food and fodder, train soldiers, and make full preparations for the upcoming war.

Throughout the Wu Dynasty, various forces began to take action, and a bloody storm was about to come.

The next day, the news spread throughout the world like a gust of wind, and three of the thirteen states of the Wu Dynasty had rebelled.

This shocking news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves.

Yizhou, once a prosperous land, is now in chaos.

The shouts and cries of killing shook the earth and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

The rebels came like a tide, leaving chaos wherever they went.

On the streets, countless people fled in panic.

However, where can we escape to in this war?

In the blink of an eye, bloody battlefields appeared one after another, and the sound of swords clashing was endless.

The soldiers fought on the battlefield and their blood dyed the earth red.

Some civilians were unfortunately caught up in it, and some lost their lives in the chaos. Their bodies lay strewn in the streets, a horrific sight.

Some were forced to join the rebels, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
