Those who could read read it out loud.
"The Gu family has changed hands for four generations. Now the new emperor Wu Cheng has achieved peace in the world!"
Everyone was shocked, this was a prophecy!
The county magistrate's hands were shaking. This "New Emperor Wucheng"! Could it be that King Wucheng will become the new emperor?
Not only he thought so, but others thought so too.
The emperor was incompetent and tyrannical. He allied with the Jin Dynasty, framed loyal officials, and killed his father and the emperor. This was something that was outrageous.
When the Jin attacked Yanjing, he abandoned the people in the city and fled alone. He was despised by the people of the world. He no longer had the possibility of ruling the world.
Even if he stood up now, no one would follow him.
Originally, King Wensheng had the highest popularity and fought all the way to Yanjing City, so he could have ascended to the throne. But he was also assassinated by an assassin.
The remaining two descendants of the previous emperor, King Zhou Ting and King Nan Xiao, are both good-for-nothings who spend their days doing nothing. It is also said that King Nan Xiao is homosexual and has countless beautiful men in his palace.
I've heard before that King Wucheng led the Jin-armored Army to first recapture the city of Yanjing from the Jin people, defeating them in a panic. Now they are heading all the way north, determined to drive the Jin army out of Daliang.
If such a King Wucheng were to ascend the throne as emperor, they would wholeheartedly support him.
"This must be talking about King Wucheng!" someone whispered.
"Yes! This is a revelation from heaven to us ordinary people, telling us that supporting King Wucheng as the new emperor will bring us peace."
Several people nodded.
"King Wucheng is also the legitimate son of the Gu family, so it is understandable that he becomes the new emperor!"
"Moreover, King Wucheng is known as the God of War. He has been fighting on the battlefield since he was young, and his martial arts are unparalleled! Even the Great Jin would not dare to attack us again!"
"Yes, King Wucheng is an excellent warrior and a great writer. He deserves to be the new emperor!"
"Yes, that's right! That's it!"
"A relative of mine is a soldier in the Golden Armor Army. He said that King Wucheng is a man who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments!"
"My neighbor's distant relative used to work in the Wucheng Palace. He said that Wucheng was a very chaste person. He only has one princess and concubines!"
Everyone started talking in low voices.
Later, when ships arrived at the port, the people who got off the ships didn't understand what was going on at first, but they would also hear a general idea from the people who had come before them.
Soon, word of mouth spread that "King Wucheng is the true dragon emperor!"
This incident soon spread all over the country.
…
Not far away, a few people gathered together, all with pale faces.
"What's going on?" one of them whispered.
"When I put it into the river half a month ago, it was clearly written on it: 'The Gu family's kingdom fell after four generations. In troubled times, Mu replaced Gu!' How come the content suddenly changed?"
Others also shook their heads in confusion.
"Could someone have tampered with it?"
"This matter was decided many years ago. It was so secretive. How could someone know about it and do something about it without anyone noticing?"
"What the hell is going on? I've been guarding this shore every day, how come the words have changed?"
"Yes, even though it's far away, the jade is correct! It's that piece!"
Several people were puzzled.
"Something terrible has happened. Go back and report to the master." Another person said seriously.
"I guess if we go back now, we will be doomed!"
Someone took a step back in fear. "I don't want to go back!"
The others also retreated. If the master knew about this and things went wrong, they would all be killed without a burial place. Thinking about the way the master punished those who did wrong before, everyone shuddered.
"Then let's run away!" someone suggested weakly.
The few of them looked at each other and quickly left in different directions, obviously not intending to go back.
After a few people left, not long after, two graceful figures suddenly appeared where they had just stood.
The woman with the black veil is the Phantom, and the one next to her in the purple dress is the Phantom.
"Sister, we have completed what the princess asked us to do! We have also avenged our great hatred. Now let's go back and report!" Mei Shu said with a joyful look on her face.
She really liked the princess' idea. Originally, she and her sister planned to destroy the jade to prevent those people from succeeding. Unexpectedly, the princess asked them to change the original words!
This not only ruined their plans, but also helped them pave the way for the prince to ascend to the throne and build momentum, which really killed two birds with one stone.
I think, when the masters of those people heard the news, they must have vomited blood and regretted it so much!
Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved!
"Well, let's go back and report!" Phantom nodded, and the two of them quickly disappeared from the spot.
…
It was two days later when Mu Chenhao heard about this incident. It was one of his subordinates who overheard the news and went to investigate, only to find out that something was wrong.
It is now being rumored everywhere that King Wucheng Gu Yanming is the true dragon emperor blessed by God.
Mu Chenhao was originally having a small gathering with several heads of large families whom he wanted to win over. After learning the whole story, a rare crack appeared on Mu Chenhao's gentle and elegant face.
They chose the area near the Lancang River because it is a commercial hub with the largest flow of people and the fastest speed of information dissemination! Unexpectedly, there was a mistake.
Not only did they fail to build momentum, but they also helped others, causing them to miss the opportunity. Whatever they do now, they will lag behind King Wucheng by 10%.
Mu Chenhao was absent-minded and barely dealt with the heads of several large families. He sent someone to find Yu Huaisheng.
Without saying a word, he knocked the man to the ground with one punch.
"Yu Huaisheng, you disappoint me so much!"
After Mu Chenhao finished speaking, he turned around and left without even looking at Yu Huaisheng. He wanted to discuss with his trusted ministers to see if there was any way to reverse the situation.
Yu Huaisheng wiped the blood from his mouth, spat out a tooth, smiled bitterly, quickly got up, and followed Mu Chenhao to the meeting hall.
He couldn't let this happen and lose the favor of his master. He had to restore the current situation.
Just when they were getting anxious, another piece of news came in.
"Have you heard? There is news that the orphan of the former royal family has been making a lot of noise these days!"
"Oh, that's the one who wants to restore the country! What happened to him?"
"The real identity of that person is actually Nan Xiao Wang Gu Zhenbang!"
Everyone was shocked and their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are you mistaken? King Nan Xiao is the prince of Daliang! How can he be an orphan of the previous dynasty? Besides, King Nan Xiao is a homosexual! He just likes men!"
"So, an orphan from the previous dynasty who likes men and wants to restore the country, are you kidding me? So he's going to marry a male queen in the future?"
"I'm not kidding. I heard someone say it with details. They said that the orphan of the previous dynasty was brought into the palace when he was young. The real Prince Nan Xiao was..."
The man made a gesture of wiping his neck.
