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

Chapter 174 Lin Yaozu’s outrageous statement: If the rebellion cannot be quelled within three months, the eight kings of different surnames will commit suicide to apologize.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Lin Yaozu's sneer was like an ice-cold blade, instantly cutting through the originally tense atmosphere.

The impatience on his face was like a dark cloud, making people shudder.

Then, he spoke coldly, his voice seemed to come from a deep icy cave.

"The three states are in rebellion! Then kill everyone in the three states!"

Every word was like a heavy stone, hitting the hearts of the eight kings present.

"You are a traitor to the Wu Dynasty and should be executed!"

There was endless majesty and anger in his words, and the entire palace trembled.

"I give you three months. If you fail to quell the rebellion, you will be charged with dereliction of duty and must die as a token of your guilt!"

"Now, get out of here!"

The sound exploded like thunder, making people tremble with fear.

The eight kings of different surnames present all turned pale, and like frightened birds, they were frightened and hastily left the palace.

After a long time, he stood outside the palace gate and finally reacted.

Aren’t we here to test the little emperor?

how……

Suddenly frightened by a mere puppet?
However, just as they stepped out of the palace, the eight kings of different surnames stopped in their tracks.

The originally panicked look gradually underwent new changes.

They first looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Then, as if he suddenly figured something out, his expression suddenly became subtle.

At this moment, recalling the little emperor Lin Yaozu's rampant behavior, his arrogant and domineering demeanor, and his crazy words, everyone was ecstatic.

Among them, a certain Wang with a different surname narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a sly smile.

The other one gently stroked his chin, his eyes full of calculation.

As for the other kings of different surnames, some nodded slightly with countless calculations flashing in their eyes, while others folded their hands in front of their chests, looking as if they were confident of what they had planned.

"Humph, I was just trying to test him, but I never expected that he would give me a reason and even hand me a knife."

King Jing whispered, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Hehehe... this little bastard... really doesn't understand anything!"

At the same moment, King Yi was holding the whip and muttering to himself.

The situation is similar for other kings of different surnames.

Obviously, the only eight kings of different surnames in the Wu Dynasty all had their own thoughts.

Now, what Lin Yaozu just said has become an excuse for the Eight Kings to rebel.

After all, if they rebelled within three months, the young emperor would insist on having them killed.

At that time, it was not that these kings of different surnames were plotting rebellion, but that the imperial court forced them to rebel.

Sometimes, in feudal times, reputation seems unimportant, but in fact it is very important.

The so-called legitimate reason for a teacher's action still occupies an extremely important position in the minds of the public.

Half an hour later, when the Eighth Prince entered the palace to meet the emperor, he righteously demanded that the young emperor Lin Yaozu issue an edict to acquit his crime, reorganize the government, and pray for the people...

In the end, the news that he was rejected without hesitation spread throughout the capital of the Wu Dynasty in an instant.

It even spread rapidly to the Thirteen Prefectures of the Wu Dynasty, and even to the border and nearby countries.

It is obvious that no matter what Lin Yaozu said at the time, he was angry or spoke without thinking.

But the Eighth Prince did his best to completely destroy his last bit of reputation and to completely define the justice of his rebellion.

In the Wu Dynasty, the situation was turbulent and the undercurrent was like a surging ocean wave, hitting this seemingly huge but already crumbling country layer by layer.

The various forces and aristocratic families received the information the moment they received it.

The originally peaceful atmosphere was like a lake into which a huge rock had been thrown.

In an instant, ripples appeared and the atmosphere became extremely subtle.

In the luxurious mansions of various noble families.

Those in power sit upright, thinking about various matters.

However, when the secret report was respectfully handed to them, a barely perceptible look of astonishment first appeared on their well-maintained faces.

The slightly widened eyes and the momentary tightening of the mouth corners showed the inner shock.

However, this trace of astonishment was fleeting, replaced by contempt and arrogance that spread rapidly like a tide.

same moment.

An old man with white hair but sharp eyes, wearing a luxurious brocade robe, stroked his long beard with his hand.

He snorted coldly, as if it was a sound of disdain coming from deep in his nasal cavity.

The corners of his mouth turned down slightly, and his expression of disdain was as deep as if it was carved into his face.

"Humph! A mere puppet! Not worthy of the responsibility! I will definitely take your place!"

After saying this, the secret report in his hand was casually thrown on the table. The moment the paper fell, it seemed to foreshadow the precarious fate of the Wu Dynasty.

After this, the old man put his hands behind his back and began to pace back and forth in the spacious hall.

His steady steps revealed his inner anxiety.

The old eyes sometimes flickered and sometimes narrowed, and his mind had already begun to carefully plan the family's grand cause, as if he had seen the moment of reaching the pinnacle of power.

And on the distant border, Liao spies shuttled through the wilderness like ghosts, quickly bringing back news.

In the Liao military camp, the generals sat together. When they heard this information, there was a brief silence, and then they burst into deafening laughter.

"Hahaha...the emperor of the Wu Dynasty was so incompetent. This prosperous Central Plains should be controlled by the Liao Kingdom!"

They laughed wantonly, their voices filled with ambition and desire.

Many foreign generals were ready to fight, with raging flames of war burning in their eyes, as if they could light up the entire sky.

Holding the weapon tightly in his hand, he seemed to have seen the hope of the rise of the Liao Kingdom and the magnificent scene of himself and others leading thousands of troops to crush the Wu Dynasty.

Afterwards, these foreign generals began to discuss strategies, planning how to take advantage of the civil strife in the Wu Dynasty to deliver a fatal blow.

At the same time, an organization in the underworld is also ready to make a move.

In the dark lair of the White Lotus Sect, a woman with a strange face was wearing a white robe and long hair draped over her shoulders. Her eyes revealed a chilling fanaticism.

She raised her hands and shouted.

"White Lotus Mother... Vacuum Hometown... The little emperor has begun to seek his own death. It is time for the White Lotus Paradise to descend upon the world!"

The sound was sharp and piercing, echoing in the cave.

There was a fanatical light in his eyes, as if he was driven by a mysterious force.

The believers behind him also echoed and were very excited.

Some waved flags in their hands, and some muttered to themselves, as if they had already seen the better life in the future.

For a moment, the entire Wu Dynasty seemed to be on the eve of a storm, with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

All forces are secretly accumulating strength, like beasts hiding in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to subvert everything.

Everyone has ulterior motives, and every force is making careful plans.
