The news of Prince Cheng raising a rebellion outside the walls of Huangzhou City spread throughout Yanjing City overnight.
The commoners uniformly cursed Prince Cheng for his wolfish heart and dog's lungs; he had previously been involved with concubines in the palace, and now he led a rebellion, a clear sign he had long harbored treacherous intentions. Even though Huangzhou was not Yanjing City, the people were still panic-stricken, fearing the day when Prince Cheng's troops would reach their doorsteps. After all, except for the Xirong border, Northern Yan hadn't seen war in many years. People were naturally terrified of war.
For a while, Prince Cheng became a target everyone wanted to strike down.
