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

The Prime Minister's words were powerful.

Even Lei Tong had to admit that his words were quite tempting and inspiring.

If it were someone else, they would have wavered at this point, or even completely surrendered and stood on the side of the prime minister.

But Lei Tong knew very well that now was not the time.

If I give in now, then given the Prime Minister's temperament, he will definitely think that something is fishy.

He just lowered his head, remained silent, and said nothing.

Such an action was about to exhaust the prime minister's last bit of patience.

"You know, a man who knows the times is a hero, and a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in!"

"Don't you want to live for yourself once in your life!?"

"Don't you want to see how far you can go?!"

The prime minister began to make big promises, and his words were quite magnetic, as if they were charming and seductive, making people unable to help but be moved by him.

Sure enough, this time, Lei Tong looked up. His cloudy eyes were no longer filled with the emptiness and despair as before, but instead had a hint of fluctuation.

That's right, it's volatility.

Even though the ripples are not obvious or even difficult to capture, they do exist.

The prime minister is the head of all officials, and his ability to read people's expressions is unmatched in the court.

With just this one tiny change, he could be certain that Lei Tong was beginning to show signs of wavering. As long as he added some fuel to the fire, then everything would have a chance.

"Humph!"

"value!?"

"That's all my life is."

"To surrender to the imperial court is not only to bear the infamy, but also to end up with a life worse than death."

Gritting his teeth, Lei Tong's words contained a hint of disdain, even sarcasm.

But this time, not only did the prime minister not get angry, but he felt a little excited, because he knew that when Lei Tong spoke, it was enough to show that Lei Tong was shaken.

That's right, he was shaken, and his heart was no longer as firm as it was at the beginning.

As long as he is shaken, as long as he has emotional fluctuations, it means that my actions are effective and my method is correct.

Forcibly suppressing his inner excitement, the prime minister knew that he must not show it too obviously now, but should proceed step by step, let Lei Tong see the situation clearly, let him understand the benefits of surrender, and let him know that this is his most correct choice.

"Don't worry, the court will not only not make things difficult for you, but will even promote you to a higher position, allow you to enjoy eternal wealth and honor, and make your name known to the world and go down in history."

"You have to know that you are a talent and deserve such a result."

The prime minister believed it firmly.

His words were indeed correct. With his current ability in the court, he could definitely do this.

Unfortunately, when he finished speaking, he was met with disdain and sneer from Lei Tong, and even his eyes were filled with mockery.

This made the prime minister feel something was wrong.

"Do you know how ridiculous you are right now?!"

"If I die here this time, at least His Majesty will remember our old friendship and regard me as a loyal hero. The people and history will also have a positive evaluation of me."

"But if I rebel, not to mention how His Majesty and the people of the world will view me, do you think the court will let me go? Do you think Emperor Tianjing will let me go? "

Lei Tong sneered, and his eyes returned to their previous dead look.

Everyone knows that this decisive battle is none other than the battle between the two emperors Zhou Zheng and Zhou Tian.

The two of them were already blood-thirsty, and it was either you or I would die.

There is no right or wrong, but the fact is that neither side can accept the existence of the other side.

In this situation, once Lei Tong fell into the hands of Emperor Tianjing, one can imagine what would happen to him.

Emperor Tianjing will not only not use him, but will also humiliate him to the utmost and even let him die without a burial place.

Lei Tong knows clearly what is more important.

"So, this is what you are worried about." Hearing this, the prime minister finally came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and his eyes became much more serious.

If it were someone else, he would have thought it was an excuse, but the person in front of him was Lei Tong, so he naturally knew that it was not a lie from Lei Tong, but that he truly didn't know.

The court has changed and is no longer what it used to be.

The current Great Zhou and the current imperial court have long since changed.

Emperor Tianjing was still Emperor Tianjing in name only, but the entire Great Zhou had long been under the control of the Prime Minister, whether it was the officials, the army, or the support and recognition of the aristocratic families in the world.

"If this is your concern, then I can tell you that you don't have to worry at all."

As he laughed heartily, there was a hint of arrogance and superiority in the Prime Minister's eyes.

Such a change made Lei Tong stunned for a moment. His pupils widened and a sense of foreboding began to spread in his heart.

Because this is not what a prime minister should be like, no matter how conceited, how powerful, and how many years he has been in control.

"What do you mean!?"

Lei Tong took a deep breath, and there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"This world is still this world. But this world of the Great Zhou may not necessarily belong to the Zhou family."

Boom! ! !

Just one sentence made Lei Tong feel like he was struck by lightning.

He just felt his head buzzing, and for a moment he didn't even understand the meaning of it.

What does he mean? ?

You must know that as a subject, uttering such words is tantamount to treason!

This is a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan. Where does he get the courage from and how arrogant he is.

Is this because he is too strong, or because he is too ignorant! Or is it because he is too arrogant to the point of no return?

Lei Tong's eyes narrowed into slits, and he stared fiercely at the prime minister in front of him, obviously waiting for an answer.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you."

"After this decisive battle, the world will no longer belong to the Zhou family."

"And at that time, I will no longer be the Prime Minister, but the Lord of the Great Zhou!"

Buzz! ! ! !

These words, as if they had a force of tens of millions of pounds, struck deeply into Lei Tong's mind.

For a moment, he just felt a little dazed.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

He is courting death! Once the news leaks out, Emperor Tianjing will definitely make his life worse than death!

"It seems that you are not aware of the changes in the current situation in the world, nor do you know the significance of this war."

The more shocked Lei Tong was, the more satisfied his vanity was in the eyes of the prime minister. He knew that this was the normal reaction Lei Tong should have.

Ever since the decisive battle between the two sides was about to begin, almost all news in the world has been controlled and cannot be spread out.

Therefore, neither Zhou Zheng nor Lei Tong could understand the current situation.

The situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty had changed a long time ago, and the imperial court had changed a long time ago!

Emperor Tianjing had been abandoned by the ancient aristocratic families, the gentry and powerful people in the world, and the officials of the imperial court.

He did not receive any support, and countless people even waited for Emperor Tianjing to abdicate.

Even Emperor Tianjing himself knew that he could no longer sit on the throne.

Apart from Emperor Tianjing, the Prime Minister is the most suitable person!

"Even so, it is not your turn to sit on the throne!"

Gritting his teeth, Lei Tong now seemed unwilling to believe what was happening before his eyes.

He spoke in a deep voice, his face was pale, and it was obvious that he had not been able to digest the news just now for a while.

"Is it!?"

"What if I have received a promise from an ancient noble family?"

Boom! ! !

This time, Lei Tong raised his head again, his pupils widened, and shock appeared in his eyes.

If there is a force in this world that can change the current imperial structure, then this force must be the five ancient families.

But, what qualifications does a mere prime minister have? !

But his firm words and his affirmative tone were by no means false.

"Otherwise, why do you think that an army of 300,000 people respects me as their leader!?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I can command all officials?"

"Otherwise, why do you think that no news from the court has reached the front line?"

"Because, wherever the truth is, is the imperial court!"

"Because, my true identity is the future leader of the Great Zhou!"

The prime minister stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and there was a hint of domineering air about him.

He straightened his back, and all that emerged in his eyes was the tyranny of controlling the world.

Imperial power, a position he had never dared to even dream of.

But now, it was right in front of him.

When this war is over, he will create his own era!
