"What a lame excuse!!"
Empress Liang looked at the self-deception on the simulator screen, with a cold face, and spat with disdain.
"The governor killed the vassal king?"
"The governor cut down the feudal vassal?"
"Do you really think everyone in the world is an idiot?"
Empress Liang Zhao felt sad when she saw that King Yu had come up with such a ridiculous reason, and the other three vassal kings also followed suit, causing turmoil and proclaiming themselves king.
"Although the four kings, King Xu, King Yang, King Shu, and King Jing, did not participate in the rebellion, they may not be loyal ministers. Maybe they just feel that the time has not come yet..."
"Xuzhou has many waterways, north of the Huaihe River, south of Mount Tai, and west of the Yellow Sea. It involves many states and counties, extending in all directions. The land is red clay. The waterways in Xuzhou are smooth. There are many naval forces and few cavalry and soldiers. If you want to cause chaos in Xuzhou, , to go to the capital, we have to fight from south to north, which is extremely difficult, and the navy is not good at land warfare. Among the many vassal kings, King Xu has always been an inconspicuous existence. "
"Yangzhou is a wealthy place with many salt merchants. The King of Yang is also a very extravagant and lustful person. He has no ambitions. He didn't take action this time. He probably doesn't want to take risks."
"King of Shu, the land of Bashu is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The road is rugged. If you want to get out of Shu, you need to travel through mountains and rivers. It is not easy. The road to Shu is difficult and it is difficult to reach the sky. The king of Shu lives in a corner and has been stable for many years. There is something wrong. It is easy to defend the land of Shu. The king of Shu is a person who cherishes his own life when doing great things. He is fierce and timid, and is always scheming. It is estimated that the talents in Shu have not yet made a final decision, so they did not raise their troops. .”
"Jingzhou has well-developed waterways, an important commercial town, and prosperous commerce. King Jing is the richest vassal king. There is no need for him to risk rebellion. No matter who succeeds, he can be a minister. He is not a minister of the wilderness, he is a minister of the victor."
Empress Liang Zhao briefly analyzed the situation and thoughts of the four vassal kings based on the information collected by the Qinglong Guard.
To put it simply, Xuzhou's geographical location is special, Xuzhou is not suitable for rebellion, and he has no possibility of success.
Yangzhou was wealthy, but King Yang was extravagant and lustful, greedy for money and lustful, and had no ambitions. He was not a hero who dared to rebel and seek to take over the world.
The King of Shu had great ambitions, but the land of Shu was too far away from the capital, and there were many talented people in Shu. Various forces competed for power, and it was difficult to unify opinions. However, the King of Shu did not make a decisive decision against all opinions, and could not reach an agreement.
In Jingzhou, commerce was developed, and King Jing was extremely wealthy. He did not want to change his wealthy life, so he chose to watch and wait for the results.
"It's good to simulate it. At least I know the attitudes of several vassal kings. If one day, I really want to cut down the vassal, the reaction of this simulation can be used as a main reference."
"We only need to appease these four, and then defeat the remaining four vassal kings one by one to complete the reduction of the vassal."
Empress Liang Zhao thought secretly in her heart.
[Emperor Xuan summoned his ministers and after discussion, he made a countermeasure. 】
[Emperor Xuan ordered Zhou Zhenwen to return to Beijing quickly to discuss the rebellion of the vassal king. 】
[A few days later, Zhou Zhenwen received the news and returned to the capital with the eldest princess Huaizhen. 】
The screen paused here, and then the screen turned to a dungeon covered in blood, chains, and skeletons.
"Where is this?" Empress Liang Zhao frowned, her expression not very good.
The next moment, she actually saw Marquis Yongwu.
Marquis Yongwu was tied to the wall by black chains. The entire wall was not stone, let alone soil, but a pool of soft tumors. There seemed to be life when he was breathing. Small tubes were inserted into Marquis Yongwu's body. Like the tentacles of a parasitic organism.
[Ghost-faced masked man: Marquis Yongwu, are you still alive? 】
[Marquis Yongwu raised his head and looked at the person who came: Go, leave here quickly and tell His Majesty that the Black Lotus Demon Sect wants to resurrect the Black Lotus Demon Lord... they must be stopped! ! 】
[The man in the ghost mask looked at Marquis Yongwu with great interest: Black Lotus Demon Lord? What is this? 】
[Hou Yongwu: This is a peerless master who dominated the world thousands of years ago and is also the founder of the Black Lotus Religion. It is said that every hundred years, the Black Lotus Demon Lord will be resurrected from the dead. It has been exactly one hundred years since the last time the Black Lotus Demon Lord awakened. Got it! 】
[Ghost-faced masked man: Is this the tumor behind you? Are you controlled by this sarcoma? 】
[Hou Yongwu: I was not careful for a moment and fell into their trap. Although this tumor has not yet formed, it already has the power of the Grand Master. If the Black Lotus Demon Lord is allowed to fully awaken, I am afraid that the entire wilderness will turn into hell...]
[Ghost-faced masked man: A piece of fleshy tumor that has not yet fully recovered has the power of a great master? interesting! ! 】
[Hou Yongwu: Interesting? Do you understand what this means? 】
[Ghost-faced masked man: What is the cultivation level of this Black Lotus Demon Lord? 】
[Hou Yongwu: No one knows what the specific realm is above heaven and man. It’s been too long ago... But one thing is for sure. The Black Lotus Demon Cult has definitely reached the threshold of immortality. After a long time, After thousands of years, you can still be resurrected briefly. This is no longer something that martial arts can do...]
[Ghost-faced mask man: That’s really interesting! 】
[Under the shocked expression of Marquis Yongwu, the man in the mask with a grimace inserted his hand into the sarcoma without any scruples...]
[The next moment, the entire sarcoma swelled crazily, as if poison spread, and rushed towards the ghost-faced masked man. 】
[The blood vessels on Marquis Yongwu’s body also detached one after another and inserted themselves into the man with the grimace mask. 】
[Marquis Yongwu felt his body loosen up and his whole body fell down. 】
[Hou Yongwu: Is this possible? 】
[In just a few breaths, the sarcoma was forcibly blocked by a force, making it difficult to move forward. 】
[The man in the mask with the ghost face turned his wrist slightly, and the strong whirlwind, like a black hole, madly absorbed the power of the sarcoma. A scarlet-blooded diamond-shaped stone fell out of the sarcoma and fell into the hands of the man in the mask with the ghost face. 】
[As the diamond-shaped stones fell out, the entire sarcoma exploded, turning into a rain of blood all over the sky. 】
[The man in the mask with a ghostly face touched the diamond-shaped stone and murmured: Is this the secret of resurrection from the dead? This stone contains extremely special power, and there is still some consciousness left on it. It should be the so-called Black Lotus Demon Lord! ! 】
[The man in the ghost mask sighed: What a good thing! 】
[The man in the ghost mask put the things away and put them in his pocket, ignoring the Yong Wuhou on the ground. 】
[Marquis Yongwu looked at the other party’s leaving figure and couldn’t help but ask: Who are you? When will a great master like you appear in the wilderness? 】
[Ghost-faced mask man: The world is bigger than you think...]
[After saying this, the man in the mask with a ghostly face disappeared. 】
[Marquis Yongwu stood up and fled from here quickly. He knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, as the Black Lotus Demon Sect would discover something unusual here at any time. 】
[After the two left, not long after, several people in black robes arrived. 】
[They looked at the empty walls and the blood on the floor... their faces were extremely gloomy! ! 】
