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

Since you have chosen to fight, then fight at all costs.

"Grandpa!"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Xiao Mu, and his expression became serious.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders!"

Xiao Mu knew that Zhou Zheng’s next words would definitely be of utmost importance.

"Ten days!"

"I want the northern border to be restored to its original state within ten days!"

"I want Grandpa to take full control of the 100,000-strong army in the entire northern border!"

Zhou Zheng's face was serious and his voice was loud.

Right now, there are still tens of thousands of rebellious troops. It is obviously not enough to rely solely on the more than 10,000 elite troops that Yunxi brought back from the Black Triangle.

Zhou Zheng never placed his hopes on these 100,000 elite soldiers.

Instead, they were worried that these remaining soldiers would counterattack at a critical moment.

You know, the battlefield changes rapidly and one mistake could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

The costs and risks involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

King Zhenbei was of course aware of Zhou Zheng's hidden meaning.

He nodded carefully.

As the King of Zhenbei, he has led countless troops and experienced countless things. It may not be possible for others to fully control an army of 100,000, but it is not a difficult task for the King of Zhenbei.

Moreover, these soldiers no longer had a leader, so within ten days, King Zhenbei was fully confident that he could completely control them.

"Zhou Ping!"

Zhou Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Xiao Mu's affirmative response.

Then he turned and looked at Zhou Ping, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"His Majesty!"

Zhou Ping did not dare to be negligent and clasped his hands together.

His attitude towards Zhou Zheng has always been like this, that is, to execute unwaveringly, regardless of right or wrong.

"I want you to do something!"

"I want you to make sure that there is no abnormality in the entire northern border!"

"I even want you to keep the connections between these rebels, the imperial court, and the aristocratic families the same as before!"

"In a word!"

"I order you not to let anyone notice the changes in the northern border."

This was the first time Zhou Zheng used the word "command"!

It can be seen that Zhou Zheng attaches great importance to Zhou Ping's mission this time.

Just as Xiao Mu said at the beginning, once the situation in the entire northern border reaches the ears of the aristocratic families, they will certainly counterattack at the first opportunity, regardless of the consequences.

But Zhou Zheng is not ready yet.

He still needs some time and some opportunities.

Otherwise, if they were to fight with the aristocratic families at this time, the final result would at least be a loss to both sides, and even the entire court would no longer have any strength to fight.

This is definitely not what Zhou Zheng wants to see.

What he wants is not just victory, but absolute victory.

It is victory achieved at the lowest cost.

After all, in addition to the aristocratic families, there is also the Great Xia Kingdom eyeing covetously, and the land in the far west is ready to make a move.

Zhou Zheng cannot take any of them lightly.

Only by stabilizing the aristocratic families and the court can Zhou Zheng buy more time.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will complete the task!"

Zhou Ping nodded vigorously.

He restrained his usual playful smile and became extremely serious.

"Yunxi!"

Zhou Zheng never doubted Zhou Ping, and in the end, he set his sights on Yunxi.

Although the Black Triangle has not yet legally belonged to the Great Zhou, in the hearts of Yunxi and others, Zhou Zheng has long been their emperor, and they are also subjects of the Great Zhou.

What's more, Yunxi has a different mentality from Zhou Ping and others.

Whether it is Zhou Ping or Xiao Mu, they are all from Zhou Zheng's faction and are true friends of life and death.

But in the Black Triangle, the Urban Management Bureau is different.

Since they had not done anything to help the emperor, they naturally did not dare to ask for too much.

But they are in great need of achievement and performance.

It's not just about getting promoted or getting rich, they just want recognition.

Only if they truly gain recognition from the Great Zhou and Zhou Zheng, will they have the opportunity and confidence to gain a foothold after returning to the Great Zhou!

They, and the clansmen behind them, all need to perform meritorious deeds.

Because they hope to return to the Great Zhou with a legitimate reason and hope to live a truly upright life.

So, when Yunxi heard Zhou Zheng mention her, her heart beat faster and a gleam of light appeared in her eyes.

Finally, a chance to make a contribution? !

"I want you to collect all the information at all costs."

"Not only the aristocratic families, but also the Emperor Tianjing."

When Zhou Zheng mentioned Emperor Tianjing, his eyes narrowed into slits, and then there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

This time, he has to deal with not only the aristocratic families, but also Emperor Tianjing!

He knew better than anyone that Emperor Tianjing was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark. As long as the time was right, he would deal a fatal blow to Zhou Zheng.

He once thought about just continuing to be with Emperor Tianjing.

Wait until Emperor Tianjing dies of old age and let him spend his old age in peace.

But now it seems that Zhou Zheng has such an idea, but Emperor Tianjing does not.

Emperor Tianjing seemed to have only one thought in mind, which was to ascend the throne again.

In order to achieve this, he can even ignore national interests and do whatever it takes.

For such a person, all his hopes must be wiped out this time.

It plunged him into deep despair!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will complete the task!"

Yunxi nodded excitedly.

As for the power of intelligence, Yunxi now has plenty of ways to do it.

"As for the rest, just wait!"

"Wait for Gan Mo's message."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, a gleam in his eyes.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, for they knew that when Gan Mo returned from Kyoto, it might be the time for the entire Great Zhou to clean up everything.

"Are the aristocratic families really going to be completely wiped out?!"

"Although no one has ever been able to do this, this time, Your Majesty may be able to create a new opportunity."

Looking at Zhou Zheng's turning back, Xiao Mu muttered to himself.

When Xiao Guan looked at Zhou Zheng, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

This young man who was once belittled and ridiculed by the world has now not only ascended the throne, but has also achieved supreme merit!

His name is destined to go down in history!

"Perhaps, following him is another way to achieve success and fame."

Zhou Ping's pupils contracted and his fists clenched slightly.

In this world, strength and ability are never the most important.

Following the right person is the most important thing.

Choice is more important than effort!

Zhou Ping finally understood the logic behind this.
