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

The prime minister's words shocked Lei Tong.

He thought of countless possibilities, but he never expected that the situation in the Great Zhou had become like this.

However, it seems that Zhou Zheng doesn’t know this news.

If this news were known, I'm afraid this decisive battle would not only be about winning or losing, but also about completely killing the prime minister.

He didn't know why the five ancient families would choose the prime minister, but he knew that this was not groundless, nor was it nonsense from the prime minister.

For an official at his level, he would definitely be more careful in doing things.

Because if you take a wrong step, it will not only mean death, but also the whole clan will be implicated.

Hoo ho ho! ! !

Feeling Lei Tong's quickened breathing rhythm and seeing the astonishment and surprise on his face, the Prime Minister looked proud and excited.

That’s right, who in the world could have thought that he would become the next co-leader of the Great Zhou?

But in fact, that's the case.

The prime minister used to not believe in fate, but now he does.

What's the point of working hard!? Working hard can only be a stepping stone for others. In this world, choice is always more important than hard work.

As the prime minister, he made the greatest choice and stood on the side of the five ancient families at the critical moment.

Even though he knew that such a result would cause the wrath of Emperor Tianjing, so what? !

Beat a fight, bike change bike!

He was willing to take a gamble on this kind of probability, even if it meant risking his own life and fortune.

If you win once, you can leave your name in history, you can reach the pinnacle of power, and you can influence countless future generations.

Worth, so worth it!

"Do you still have concerns now?!"

"As long as you agree to surrender, as long as you are willing to join us, the court will not dare to embarrass you."

"When the war is over, when Ben is crowned emperor, you will have served the emperor well and become his minister."

"When the time comes, conferring the title of a prince or rewarding him with millions of gold will only take a word."

Taking a deep breath, the Prime Minister did not forget his mission, which was to lobby Lei Tong.

I have to say that the prime minister has done a very good job in this regard.

The sincerity he showed was enough, and he even told Lei Tong his plan.

Seeing this sincere face, even Lei Tong, who has a kind of personality, couldn't help but be moved.

If it weren't because he followed Zhou Zheng, if it wasn't because he knew that Zhou Zheng's pursuit was what he hoped to see, if it weren't because of his life-and-death friendship with Zhou Zheng, the words of the current prime minister would have really moved him.

"Actually, you don't have a better choice."

"This battle is not destined to be a win or loss for Zhou Zheng and Zhou Tian, ​​but it is destined that they are both losers. The only winner can only be the true self."

Standing with his hands behind his back, the prime minister was neither hurried nor slow.

Since he already knew that Lei Tong was tempted and that there was a possibility that Lei Tong would surrender, he was not in a hurry.

After all, I have waited for several days, so why should I care about the present?

He continued to analyze the current situation to Lei Tong.

"Three hundred thousand troops are approaching the border. They are all elites from aristocratic families and all over the country. Their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary Zhenbei troops."

"With artillery and the financial support of the ancient noble families, do you think Zhou Zheng really has a chance and possibility of winning this battle?"

The prime minister analyzed slowly, but every word he said made sense.

The strength displayed before them is enough to crush Zhou Zheng, or even completely wipe him out.

Even if Zhou Zheng has some other means, it seems that they are still not enough in the face of absolute strength.

The current prime minister is just a spokesperson for the ancient aristocratic family. Even if he really loses, what does it matter? !

The ancient aristocratic families will definitely take action, because they will never allow a disobedient existence.

As for Emperor Tianjing, he had long been sidelined and had no real power in his hands.

If he had been obedient, he could have barely become an emperor and lived the rest of his life.

If he doesn't obey, the final outcome will be a mysterious death.

In this world, it is not difficult to want someone to die reasonably.

"You are a smart man."

"Since you are going to live for yourself, you should know which option is the most beneficial."

The Prime Minister looked at Lei Tong calmly, with a hint of urging in his voice.

I have to say that today, he has said a lot, shown enough sincerity, and made absolute promises.

He had no reason to believe that Lei Tong could remain calm and unmoved in this situation.

"Can I ask a question?!"

Finally, Lei Tong gave in.

Hoo ho ho! ! !

After hearing these words, the Prime Minister finally put his mind at ease. When he looked at Lei Tong again, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

He knew that Lei Tong seemed to have made plans to surrender, but he still had some concerns.

"of course."

Nodding, the Prime Minister signaled Lei Tong to ask.

"why me?"

"Whether I am willing to surrender or support you doesn't seem to be that important to you."

This was Lei Tong's biggest doubt, and it was also something he couldn't figure out.

Even though he knew that his mission this time was to surrender, he knew even more clearly that he must not surrender easily, otherwise all his previous persistence would be in vain, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.

"You asked a good question."

"Since you are asking sincerely, why not answer you openly and honestly?"

The prime minister nodded. After all, no matter how important Lei Tong was, he was not as important as Zhou Ping. He was just a follower of Zhou Zheng.

Why am I willing to spend so much effort and pay such a high price?

Anyone would have doubts, but if Lei Tong didn't ask, he would think that there was something wrong with Lei Tong.

"First, I need to tell everyone in the world that I am eager to recruit talents and am willing to treat them with respect."

"Even you, Lei Tong, can do this. Do you think the talented and capable people in the world will reject me in the future?"

The Prime Minister's words were very direct and quite realistic.

He was not pretentious, but instead showed a touch of sincerity, which made Lei Tong nod secretly.

This is the starting point of human nature. Obviously, the prime minister's idea is reasonable.

"Secondly, I just want to use your hand to reveal Zhou Zheng's hypocritical true face."

"For so many years, countless people have cheered for Zhou Zheng, and some even risked their lives for him. But is he really that good?!"

"I don't think so!"

"He is an extremely selfish person. The true face of such a person should be exposed."

With a sneer, the Prime Minister was obviously quite disdainful of Zhou Zheng, and there was even endless contempt and ridicule in his words.

In his opinion, this world should be one where if one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit!

But Zhou Zheng was different. Although he had achieved enlightenment, none of his brothers benefited from it.

Such a person is unworthy of being a king.

If he ascended the throne, he would certainly promise high positions and generous salaries to those ministers who followed him.

This is the difference between his and Zhou Zheng’s ideas.

He just said this, seemingly for the sake of Lei Tong and others, but Lei Tong knew very well that the prime minister's vision was too narrow.

All he cares about is power, and everything he does is for himself and the people around him.

How can such a person rule the world!

If he became an emperor, who knows how many people would live in dire straits!

I am afraid that from now on, the people of the Great Zhou will become slaves and fall into despair.

This is definitely not what Lei Tong wants to see, nor is it the life that the people of the Great Zhou should live.

However, he still held back the words.

After all, it is obviously inappropriate to say this now.

"Not only you, but also Shi Sui, Yan Pan, Zhou Ping and others can come."

"As long as you come, they all have a chance to come."

"Since following Zhou Zheng is a dead end, why not give those talented people a chance to survive!?"

The Prime Minister's words were very powerful.

Even righteous, as if it was all for the good of everyone.

And he also saw a glimmer of light in Lei Tong's eyes.

It seemed that his story was recognized by Lei Tong.

"So, I want to ask you a question now!"

"Lei Tong, are you willing?!"
