Chapter 714: A Place of Trouble
The Rebellion of the Seven Kings also awakened the ambitions of many.
These princes required gold, silver, soldiers, and provisions for their expansion, and the burden of supplying them ultimately fell on the common people.
Within just half a year, commoners across Great Xiang gathered in protest, but their outcries were completely useless; human lives are like blades of grass, utterly worthless to those in power.
Under the princes' dismissive rule, the suffering populace gradually developed a rebellious spirit.
As the saying went: are kings and generals born of a special breed?
Rather than waiting for death, it was better to risk everything.
Consequently, rebellions and uprisings of all sizes erupted across the realm. Driven mostly by oppressed and impoverished commoners, these armed revolts pushed the empire's chaos to new heights.
Under these circumstances, everyone in the Mortal World feared for their own lives.
This turmoil far exceeded the chaos seen during the fall of Great Jing.
