Originally, the high priest came to the palace today with the intention of killing King Miao, and then announce to the public that King Miao died simply because he was too licentious and immoral.
Now, after hearing what King Miao said, he was even more certain that the two sides had completely different ideas, which put the high priest in a very embarrassing situation.
"Luo Feng, I know what you have in mind. You want all three southwestern countries to be controlled by the Miao Kingdom."
"I know you're very concerned about losing that battle, but now isn't the right time. Let's talk about it later."
"You must know that you are very powerful. Your ability to lead troops in battle is not weak at all. It's just that that Lu is too strong."
"After we go down, we should accumulate our strength and replenish the Miao army. We can even sacrifice some territory when it is not necessary. As long as we can preserve ourselves and side with the dark side, it will be fine."
King Miao was very relaxed and thought that as long as they continued to accumulate their strength and the power of their troops, they would be able to achieve peace in the end.
But in fact, Luo Feng knew very well that the court's current strength could easily destroy those vassal states. Even if they were not familiar with the environment here, this place had natural geographical advantages and there were many mountains that could serve as barriers to block them.
However, over time, the imperial court was able to slowly eliminate them and gradually control the entire Miao Kingdom.
It seems that King Miao's mind is still very naive. Luo Feng finally made up his mind at this moment.
He was so angry that he walked up to King Miao and said.
"Your Majesty, I don't think that's right. We should still attack!"
"Before the imperial army reaches the three southwestern kingdoms, if we can subdue them, they will have every chance to resist."
While saying this, Luo Feng was getting closer and closer to King Miao, but he didn't notice or react.
He didn't take it seriously. After all, in his heart, the high priest was a very loyal and reliable person.
"His Majesty……"
"To be honest, you always know what I'm thinking."
"The imperial court's current strength is unstoppable. Once they have finally eliminated all the vassal states, they will reach a prosperous era and restore the former Great Qin."
As he spoke, Luo Feng took out the dagger in his hand and stabbed the Miao King, ending his life.
Everything happened so fast that King Miao had no time to react!
He was a little shocked, his eyes widened, "Why did you do this!"
"Luo Feng, I trust you so much that I have placed so much power in your hands and asked you to work for the Miao Kingdom, but you..."
Before he could finish his words, King Miao died, and no one in the hall around him escaped this disaster.
They were all killed. At this moment, the high priest had absolute initiative and took back all the rights.
He took control of the entire palace and then spread the news to gather all the ministers together. Anyone who was dissatisfied or dared to raise questions would be killed.
"Everyone, I have some very bad news. Today, while His Majesty was doing something with two palace maids, something unexpected happened."
"His Majesty has passed away."
"When I learned about this, I was extremely angry. I rushed over to rescue His Majesty, but in the end, I was unable to do so."
"We didn't want to see this happen, but His Majesty has indeed passed away. This position is now vacant, and His Majesty has not left behind any heirs."
"What do you think our Miao Kingdom should do now? After all, the imperial court has been weakening the power of the vassal states and even destroying them."
At this time, the ministers in the court took a look. They were all smart people and knew very well what was going on.
Everything was fine yesterday, why did His Majesty leave today, and even the palace maids did something so ridiculous.
There is definitely something fishy going on here, and they are all very clear about it. In recent times, the imperial court has been urging them, and the Miao State has been trying every possible way to weaken the strength of the other two countries.
But His Majesty has not taken any action. I am afraid this is an order from the Han Empire, and also an idea of the high priest.
But they understood that the imperial court had become incredibly powerful and would eventually destroy them, so the Miao nation might as well have another chance to show their loyalty.
Maybe these ministers can still survive.
"What the High Priest said is true. Your Majesty was indeed too careless in this matter. We are all very sad about your death, but the most important thing is to preserve the strength of our Miao Nation."
"We were all very sad after His Majesty left, but now we still need the High Priest to step up and preside over the government and the overall situation. Only the High Priest can shoulder this important responsibility."
"High Priest, you will take over His Majesty's position. There is no one else but you."
"Yes, High Priest, you are the person we trust most in the court. You must take on this important responsibility."
“…”
Luo Feng didn't expect that these ministers were so sensible. They all wisely chose to let him take charge of the situation, but he still pretended to refuse.
"Oh, no, I'm just a high priest. How can I take over your majesty's position? I certainly don't believe it, but as a high priest, I certainly can't just sit there and do nothing."
"Until a new king is chosen, I will be in charge of everything. What are your opinions?"
Naturally, these ministers had no objections at all, and dared not raise any opinions. If they said no, the high priest would definitely kill them all.
"I'm sure you all know that the Han Empire has been asking us to do everything we can to weaken the power of the three southwestern kingdoms, including Shu and the Great Zhou."
"Now that this opportunity has come, you all know that the Han Empire is very powerful and we have no choice but to obey. Now that His Majesty has passed away, I must fulfill his last wish."
"Pass the order down, prepare immediately and let these soldiers in the barracks train well."
"We will send troops to the Great Zhou and Shu Kingdom in a few days."
"yes!"
“…”
The news of King Miao's death quickly spread throughout Phoenix City, but no one mentioned the cause of death. They only knew that the high priest had now completely taken control of the government.
At the same time, Da Zhou.
Liang Jing has been concerned about a problem within their Great Zhou in recent times.
After the flood problem was solved, they now had to consider one thing, which was how to resist the imperial army.
The King of Shu had always been very afraid. After all, the current Han Empire was too powerful, so he quickly sent an envoy to find Liang Jing.
I hope their two countries can unite together.
