"Damn fool, can't even handle such a small matter!" Heng Emperor, nearing fifty, wore a savage expression. Three days ago, 50,000 human sacrifices had outrageously dared to revolt. They first killed the Temple Master and the imperial soldiers, then immediately assembled an army of 20,000 rebels, seizing a city in the heartland of the Central Plains. As for how 50,000 people were reduced to 20,000, it was certain that not all were willing to join the rebellion; moreover, among them were many elders, children, and women unsuitable to be soldiers.
This, however, was not the most important issue. The most pressing was the rebels' outrageous, treasonous cry: "Kings, nobles, generals, and ministers—are such people born to their station?"
A bunch of bumpkins, daring to covet the supreme position?
