Cheng Zhou Guo.

Recently, it has not been very peaceful, and Emperor Yunmo is about to celebrate his birthday.

It stands to reason that the vassal kings of various places should go to the imperial capital to celebrate.

It's just that in recent years, there have been more and more differences between the vassal kings and the imperial court, and even the smell of gunpowder has become heavier and heavier.

The previous Tui En Decree made these vassal kings understand that if they didn't want to push down this dynasty, then their fiefdoms and titles would disappear in the future.

In addition to the feudal kings, another thing is the taxation of various places.

Officials from all over the country are now starting to collect taxes, and this tax is naturally to buy a luxurious birthday for the emperor.

Originally, the household department demanded that each household levy 100 copper coins.

It's just that the news came to the cities in various places, and the prefect asked each household to collect 15 copper coins.

When the prefect goes down, he will levy two hundred copper coins.

Naturally, the people didn't know how much tax money the imperial court had to collect, but they only knew that when it came to them, some had to pay 200, and some had to pay more than 200.

In some places, each household is even required to pay 300.

Three hundred copper coins!

This is enough tax money for countless people to stomp their feet and scold.

Because of this, the situation in Chengzhou State, which was already somewhat unstable, is now even worse.

Some of the people even began to pray in secret, hoping that the vassal kings everywhere might as well rebel.

Anyway, if it's the other way around, they probably won't have to pay for it.

Now these officials have come down to demand money, and have given them a little time to raise money, so how can they have this money?

After collecting the news from all over the country and analyzing it, the guards who came to Cheng Zhou immediately knew it.

Looking at the current situation, they found that it was much easier to stir up the Chengzhou Kingdom than they thought.

The grievances of the common people have been accumulated for a long time, and with the dishonesty of the vassal kings, these are really promising after they are united.

"Let's do it, you know what the plan was going to be, right? Don't go wrong! ”

"Don't worry, although this thing hasn't been done yet, it's not easy for us?"

After saying that, I immediately went down to make arrangements.

The next day, when the sky was hazy and brightened, the people went to work in the fields.

And one of them suddenly found that in the land on the small hillside on the side, half of the stone tablet was exposed, and there seemed to be something in the stone tablet.

I walked over with a strange feeling in my heart.

Only a moment later, the people were startled, and when he got closer, there was a faint sound from the stone tablet.

"Come here, the stele has appeared, the stele has appeared!"

The people who were paralyzed on the ground hurriedly shouted at the rest of the people.

The rest of the people were still about to go to the field, and when they heard the shouts from this side, they also hurriedly ran over.

"What apparition? Willow Brown, don't talk nonsense! ”

A citizen scolded, as he approached.

Liu Brown pointed at the soldier, his face full of disbelief, and his fingers trembled.

"It's true, listen carefully to yourselves!"

When the rest of the people heard this, they also took a step forward, and when they heard it carefully, they were immediately frightened and took a few steps back.

Just now, they really heard the voice coming from the stone tablet.

More and more people, after noticing the situation here, are approaching this side, and some people listen to the sound, and quickly kneel down, begging for the Bodhisattva's blessing in a panic.

Others were listening quietly, trying to know what was going on in the voice.

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

It's just that what happened here quickly spread out.

"Have you heard of that? Just outside the city, there is a stone tablet, and the stone tablet can speak, as if it is saying that Cheng Zhou is dead and King Wu should stand. ”

"The stele speaks, is it true or false?"

When the other person heard this, he looked disbelieving.

After all, I have never heard of it, so naturally I will not believe this kind of thing.

"Of course it's true, just the willow head in the south of the city, you know, people themselves saw it with their own eyes, heard it with their own eyes, how could it be wrong!"

The person who spoke, seeing that others did not believe it, hurriedly opened his mouth to justify.

When the rest of the people heard this, they immediately came to their senses.

"Saw it with your own eyes? Let's talk about what it was like. ”

It's quite boring on weekdays, but now listening to such anecdotes, it naturally provokes the people around him, and they are all in spirit.

"At that time, there were still people who saw this stele and felt that something was wrong, so they leaned forward to see it, and who knew that they had just stepped forward and heard the sound of this stele, and hundreds of people heard it at that time.

Everyone said that this was the manifestation of the mountain god, and I don'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 suddenly taken aback.

If it's just one or two, then it's possible to be fake, but if it's hundreds of people, it's almost impossible to be fake.

After all, it's a bit too difficult to collude with more than 100 people to lie together.

Only, how does this stele speak? Could it be that there is really a fairy manifestation?

The crowd was puzzled.

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

Someone else hurriedly asked, if you can know where this stone tablet is, then it is okay to go and see it.

"I was just dug up and taken away by King Wu's people."

The scholar shook his head and said.

King Wu?

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

"yes."

The scholar nodded in agreement.

The rest of the people suddenly gasped, Cheng Zhou is dead, the meaning of King Wu should stand, doesn't it mean that the Kingdom of Cheng Zhou should perish, and King Wu should obey the mandate of heaven to become the emperor?

As soon as they thought of this, everyone's faces suddenly changed.

It is said that the emperor ascended the throne in accordance with the mandate of heaven, but now looking at the situation, the sky no longer blesses the Chengzhou Kingdom, so speaking of which, is the Chengzhou Kingdom really going to be destroyed?

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

What they didn't know was that in the territory of the other vassal kings, a similar situation also occurred.

The spitting fox, or the huge white snake in the mountains, made the territory of these vassal kings extremely unusual.

It's just that for these vassal kings, this thing seems to be a good thing, which makes their hearts, which have always been patient, continue to grow and become an ambition.

And when the people spread the news, they also became unsparing.

I was already extremely dissatisfied with these harsh taxes, and now because the emperor had to pay for his birthday, I was even more angry.

Now when I heard the news that the Zhou Kingdom was about to be destroyed, it was naturally spreading more and more.
