Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Big week!

Everything seemed perfectly normal.

However, all sensitive people have already noticed that there is a strange atmosphere in the air.

In the court, as usual, there was endless debate.

Many court officials threatened to commit suicide in the hope that Zhou Zheng would show up.

After all, more than two months have passed since Zhou Zheng last held a court meeting.

During this period, Mu Yun handled almost all matters of the court.

Even though all the court officials knew that Mu Yun was the prime minister and had the power to make decisions.

But the country cannot be without a king for a day, and Zhou Zheng’s absence has made many ministers realize that something is wrong.

Many ministers even had vague suspicions that Zhou Zheng was no longer in Kyoto.

Many court officials were naturally aware of the character of this emperor, and he always put the people's livelihood and the affairs of the world first.

Therefore, it is most likely that he went to train the people.

However, Zhou Zheng is now the ruler of a country after all, how can he be away from the court for a long time? !

Thirty to five days, or half a month might be acceptable to the ministers, but more than two months is no longer a small matter.

More importantly, the current Great Zhou is no longer as peaceful as it was two months ago.

Which official who can enter this imperial hall is a simple person?

They had already sensed something was amiss, and their intuition told them that a huge crisis was brewing, which might even lead to the decline of the Great Zhou.

......

"Is there still no movement in the North?"

When all the ministers retreated, only Gong Tan and Mu Yun were left in the huge hall.

At this moment, Mu Yun had a serious look on his face, and his voice had a hint of panic.

"No."

"The northern border is like a dead sea. All the people sent out have disappeared without a trace."

Gong Tan frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Many people in the court had already begun to doubt this. Most importantly, they all sensed that a hidden force was stirring up trouble among the officials in the court.

Whether Zhou Zheng is still in the palace or in Kyoto has become the key to this hidden force moving the court officials.

If Zhou Zheng cannot be found, or perhaps no clues about him can be obtained, not to mention the aristocratic families, the attitudes of the ministers in the court will be divided into two factions.

It seems that Gong Tan and Mu Yun can control the court, but they all know that only Zhou Zheng can sit in the court and suppress these ministers.

Without a leader, the world will inevitably fall into chaos.

Unfortunately, no matter what means Gong Tan uses, he is now unable to extend his influence into the northern border.

Not to mention contacting Zhou Zheng through the northern border, even King Zhenbei and the others couldn't be contacted.

The key point is that this news has already been known to all the ministers.

No one knew how the ministers knew the news, but the unusual situation in the northern border had already made them dissatisfied.

The northern border has refused to heed the imperial court's call, and now even the imperial court's forces cannot enter it.

This is something that all the court officials in the world cannot accept.

If the stalemate continues, some officials will surely define it as a rebellious army.

At that time, the situation will become even more chaotic.

"If it doesn't work, I will go to the northern border myself."

Taking a deep breath, Mu Yun's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness.

He knew very well that even if everyone in the world rebelled, it would be impossible for the people in the north to rebel.

It’s not just because the King of Zhenbei is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, but also because the King of Zhenbei is Zhou Zheng’s maternal grandfather!

He didn't know what had happened in the northern border, but in Mu Yun's opinion, the biggest possibility was that the King of Zhenbei in the northern border might have had some misunderstandings about the imperial court.

Nowadays, rumors are spreading all over the world.

Zhou Zheng was not in the court.

The King of Zhenbei must be waiting for Zhou Zheng.

As long as Zhou Zheng is around, King Zhenbei won't care about anything else.

It might be useless for others to go to the northern border, but Mu Yun is different.

He and the King of Zhenbei are old friends, and he is also Zhou Zheng's master and the prime minister of the court!

Only in this way can the current conflict between the imperial court and the northern border be eased.

Otherwise, before Zhou Zheng returns from the Great Xia Kingdom, and before the aristocratic families take action, the conflict between the northern border and the imperial court will become irreconcilable, and there is even a high possibility of an accidental conflict.

By that time, everything was too late.

I have to say that Mu Yun’s idea is quite pertinent.

However, Gong Tan shook his head.

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid something has happened in the northern border."

Even though he was reluctant to admit it, Gong Tan now had to consider this possibility.

Buzz!

When these words were spoken, Mu Yun's heart trembled, and his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He waved his hand.

In Mu Yun's opinion, no one can shake Xiao Mu's position in the northern border.

If Xiao Mu is willing, he can just raise his arm in the northern border. Even if it is the imperial court, the northern border will not be as useful as Xiao Mu.

Therefore, the northern border is firmly in the hands of King Zhenbei, and nothing will happen to it.

Even if the Great Xia Kingdom invaded, the King of Zhenbei's iron-blooded methods were enough to expel them.

"But now it seems that this is the only possibility."

Gong Tan smiled bitterly.

She had dealt with King Zhenbei many times, so she naturally knew his methods and abilities.

But now they are facing the aristocratic families.

An existence that gives Zhou Zheng a headache and makes him dare not take it lightly.

Therefore, anything can happen in the northern border today.

Otherwise, even if there was a misunderstanding between the King of Zhenbei and the court, given the King of Zhenbei's temperament, he would come directly to the court to confront them openly.

But now, the entire northern border seems to be a separate area of ​​its own.

The information revealed here is already extraordinary.

Gong Tan’s analysis made Mu Yun break out in a cold sweat and even his face turned pale.

He still couldn't believe it.

But Gong Tan's words did not seem false.

"All connections between the court and the northern lands have been severed."

“Even of those I sent secretly, not one of them returned.”

Gong Tan's eyes were full of anxiety.

This is enough to explain everything.

"What do you mean?"

Mu Yun's voice trembled a little.

"Two o'clock!"

"First, there are already spies from the aristocratic families in the court. I'm afraid our every move is under the surveillance of the aristocratic families."

When Gong Tan said the first point, even though Mu Yun was already prepared, his breathing still became a lot faster.

You know, the current court team was almost all built by Zhou Zheng after he came to power.

How could these people betray the imperial court? !

"second!"

"I'm afraid that group of people will find a way to cause a big fight between the imperial court and the northern border."

"So as to completely consume the power of our Great Zhou."

Hoo ho ho! ! !

This is what Gong Tan is most worried about.

Once this happens, even if Zhou Zheng has the ability to defy the heavens, there will be no way he can turn the tide!

The other party has such powerful means!
