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

In the Great Zhou Palace, deep in the sky prison, the atmosphere was solemn at this moment.

Many veterans of the previous dynasty looked ashen.

During this period, the most prominent ones were Mu Yun and Gong Tan.

Ever since Zhou Zheng left Kyoto for Daxia, and ever since Emperor Tianjing launched a rebellion and ascended the throne again, they have been imprisoned in this heavenly prison.

It was dark, cold, damp and dead silent here, but the lives of these ministers, Mu Yun, Gong Tan and others were the only ones that were saved.

Countless times, court officials tried to incite them to rebel.

It’s a pity that those who have persisted in fighting until now are all loyal to Zhou Zheng.

Over time, Emperor Tianjing stopped wasting time talking to these people.

It seemed as if they were gradually forgotten.

But everyone knows that they are not forgotten at all, but they are placed here deliberately so that they can be useful to Emperor Tianjing at a critical moment.

Sure enough, just now, news came from Emperor Tianjing.

Zhou Zheng will fight the imperial court to decide life or death!

But judging from the news that has come, Zhou Zheng may not have much chance, or even be doomed to die.

"I, your Majesty, will always believe in you!"

Mu Yun's pupils shrank, and he clenched his dry palms into fists, without any fear or panic in his eyes.

Gong Tan's pretty face also showed no fear.

"In my life, I only live for two words, and that is Zhou Zheng!"

Taking a deep breath, a faint smile slowly appeared on Gong Tan's face.

This kind of smile is very free and easy, even a little calm.

She had already seen life and death.

Countless memories with Zhou Zheng emerged in her heart.

Before meeting Zhou Zheng, she thought that this might be all she had in her life.

Until she met Zhou Zheng, she discovered that not only her life was different from others, but more importantly, she had already fallen in love with Zhou Zheng.

Gong Tan may not care about anything, not fame, wealth or fortune, even not his own life. The only person he cares about is Zhou Zheng!

When imprisoned in the Sky Prison, Gong Tan never worried about her life or death. She was even always prepared to die.

What she really cared about was that she had become a bargaining chip for Emperor Tianjing to threaten Zhou Zheng!

If that day really comes, Gong Tan will end his own life without Emperor Tianjing's intervention.

"Prime Minister, I believe in Your Majesty and will definitely win!"

"And it's a complete win!"

Sima Cheng took a deep breath and looked determined.

The other civil and military ministers also nodded.

No matter how unfavorable the outside voices were to Zhou Zheng, no matter how bad the situation seemed, they never doubted Zhou Zheng.

Because over the years, Zhou Zheng has created so many miracles!

......

Great Zhou, the North!

At this moment, the air was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and there was a strong sense of oppression between heaven and earth.

Inside the tent, everyone looked serious.

"Your Majesty, the army has been assembled and is ready to fight at any time!"

King Zhenbei stood in front of Zhou Zheng with a moved expression.

Now, the people have all been sent back to farm, and those who remain are the elite Zhenbei Army.

Although their scale is far less than that of their former peak, the advantage is that these Zhenbei troops have been trained in countless life-and-death battles with real swords and guns.

They are powerful and extremely brave.

The most important thing is that he is loyal to King Zhenbei and Zhou Zheng.

Follow the orders, regardless of life or death!

Thirty thousand elite Zhenbei troops are ready to charge at any time!

Zhou Ping and Xiao Guan's heartbeats also slightly quickened. Although Gan Mo said nothing, his eyes flickered and he was full of fighting spirit.

"How many troops does the imperial court have?!"

Zhou Zheng nodded. He knew that he was prepared, and so was the court.

Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!

"The imperial court has more than 100,000 troops..."

King Zhenbei frowned, and his voice had a hint of solemnity.

In the past, with 30,000 against 100,000, King Zhenbei would not panic at all, but this time he changed his usual behavior.

Because these 100,000 are by no means simple imperial troops, but elite troops selected by the Great Zhou from among the aristocratic families all over the world.

These people are not only of sturdy build, but also constantly trained by aristocratic families, which consumes countless thoughts and financial resources. Even if they have never actually fought on the battlefield, they are a force that cannot be ignored.

What’s more, these one hundred thousand are all warriors trained by the aristocratic families!

Just thinking about it makes people have to be cautious.

Others also focused their attention on Zhou Zheng.

"It seems that the aristocratic families and the gentry and landlords are also going to fight to the death."

Zhou Zheng murmured to himself, a crowd of one hundred thousand was within his expectations.

After all, this time, it is not just a struggle for imperial power, but also a change of an era.

If I win, all these aristocratic families and local gentry will be forced into a desperate situation.

Therefore, they will definitely spare no effort and try every possible means to stand opposite Zhou Zheng.

If I am not mistaken, the actual number may not just be 100,000, but perhaps 200,000.

In addition, countless amounts of money were transported to the imperial court in an endless stream.

There is only one purpose, and that is to kill Zhou Zheng completely.

The purpose is to leave a great legacy for their descendants!

"But what really worries me is not these 100,000 people, nor the countless wealth of the gentry and powerful people in the world."

Zhou Zheng paused for a moment, and this pause made King Zhenbei and others feel a little uneasy.

The enemies and opponents that Zhou Zheng cares about are definitely not simple.

"Who is that!?"

Zhou Ping couldn't help but asked.

"Yes, an ancient noble family!"

Zhou Zheng let out a breath of foul air, and his voice became heavier when he said this.

An ancient noble family!

This is different from the aristocratic families, and it is also incomparable to the local gentry and powerful people.

They have been on this land for more than a thousand years? !

Dynasties have changed and the world has changed, but they remain unshakable.

All of this shows that they have the ability and means to transcend this era.

It’s a pity that Zhou Zheng has not yet really come into contact with this ancient aristocratic family.

Even the Xiao family, to which the former King of Zhenbei belonged, which was so powerful that it had become one of the five major families in the Western Zhou Dynasty, knew very little about the ancient aristocratic families.

Everyone was silent.

Because this mountain really cannot be ignored.

"But some battles must always be fought!"

"When I win a great victory over the imperial court, I'm afraid the five great ancient aristocratic families will be unable to sit still."

Zhou Zheng's voice was not loud, but everyone present felt a pang in their hearts.

Because they know that day, it won't be too late!

Maybe in a month, or maybe in three months.

"It remains to be seen who will win!"

Gan Mo, who was usually taciturn, finally spoke.

And his words made everyone's eyes more determined.

People will eventually die!

But some people can choose to die in a different way!

They are just like that now!
