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

The Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial capital!

The whole country celebrates and the whole city cheers!

The good news coming from the northern land made the people who were still worried finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, in the imperial palace and the court, all the ministers were lined up.

"Your Majesty, as soon as the Second Highness arrives in the north, he will ask Daxia to withdraw its troops!"

"He is simply the lucky general of our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"That's right, His Highness has been training in the military these years. He is brave and capable!"

"Your Highness, the Second Highness, is majestic and powerful. This is God's blessing for our great Zhou Dynasty!"

"I'm afraid that the current Second Highness, even the Marquis of Zhenbei, will be inferior by three points!"

The ministers in the DPRK, whether they were civil servants or military generals, all praised Zhou Ting one after another, and countless rainbow farts kept blowing.

Even those ministers in the DPRK who were not originally on Zhou Ting's side also echoed and praised him.

After all, this great victory in the northern territory is an absolute joy for the court and even the entire Zhou Dynasty!

This means that the northern border is temporarily safe, and the court does not need to dispatch troops or generals, nor does it need to continue to spend huge military expenditures!

The most important thing is that Daxia's 300,000-strong army failed to break through the northern border and suffered heavy losses. Now they have to retreat.

It simply enhanced the national prestige of the Zhou Dynasty!

You know, since Emperor Tianjing came to the throne, the Zhou Dynasty has always adopted a defensive policy.

They almost never take the initiative to take action against Daxia and Yuan Dynasty.

Even though the Great Xia Kingdom invaded repeatedly and the Great Yuan Dynasty was in turmoil from time to time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was as stable as Mount Tai.

In the words of Emperor Tianjing, everything is for the development of the country.

As a result, the world has almost forgotten the bravery of the Zhou Dynasty soldiers.

Now with this great victory, Emperor Tianjing, who had always been unhappy, had a smile on his face.

After all, this allowed Emperor Tianjing to solidify the pace of becoming a perfect old man, and brought him one step closer to becoming the wisest emperor in the 300 years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty!

At this time, almost everyone ignored the dedication of Zhenbeihou and the soldiers of the Northern Territory.

Of course, no one would tell what Zhou Ting did in the northern border at this juncture.

Zhou Fan was in the court at this time and felt as if he had eaten shit when he saw these ministers praising Zhou Ting.

He glanced at these ministers with his peripheral vision and wrote down all their names.

"Damn it, the second child is so lucky!"

"If I had known this, I would have gone to the northern border at all costs no matter what."

He felt angry and resentful in his heart, but it was a pity that Zhou Fan had no regret medicine to take.

Of course, I can only focus on Liu Fu.

After all, this great victory in the Northern Territory gave Zhou Ting the upper hand to some extent. The most important thing was that Zhou Fan felt that Emperor Tianjing might have the balance in his heart tilted toward him because of this incident. Zhou Ting's side shifted.

This is the scene Zhou Fan least wants to see.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is indispensable for the great victory in the Northern Territory."

"But the Marquis of Zhenbei and all the soldiers shed their blood and sacrificed their lives, and they are worthy of commendation."

"I suggest that the three armies be rewarded immediately to show your majesty's sage and the court's kindness."

Liu Fu is worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty. With one sentence, he can regain the focus.

He is a smart man, so naturally he has to say something bad about the second prince Zhou Ting, but by putting all his effort into the Marquis of Zhenbei and the northern soldiers, he is undoubtedly telling everyone that Zhou Ting alone cannot stop him. .

It was so reasonable and well-founded that those ministers who originally thought of continuing to flatter Zhou Ting could only swallow it.

"My minister agrees!"

"I also second the proposal!"

As the head of a hundred officials, Liu Fu's simple words caused a slight change in the attitude of the officials.

Everyone is a sensible person. When they saw Liu Fu's attitude and then looked at Zhou Fan beside them, they felt like they were in a mirror.

"This matter will be left to the Ministry of War to handle it."

Emperor Tianjing nodded, his eyes fell on Chen Yong, Minister of War, and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Sir, obey the order!"

Chen Yong looked overjoyed and quickly came out to express his gratitude.

This inconspicuous move made Liu Fu and Zhou Fan's hearts skip a beat.

Chen Yong is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he is also a member of the second prince Zhou Ting.

His Majesty did not hand over this matter to Liu Fu, but directly to the Minister of War. From this alone, it can be seen that Emperor Tianjing was quite satisfied with Zhou Ting this time.

And Chen Yong understood it. Even if he rewarded the three armies, he was afraid that most of it would fall on Zhou Ting.

And, it is very likely to be widely publicized!

Such a scene made all the officials at the scene look at each other secretly, and they also felt Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

At this moment, Sima Cheng's voice came from the hall unexpectedly.

Everyone looked sideways and their expressions changed slightly, obviously they did not expect that Sima Cheng, who had always been taciturn, would speak at this time.

"Say!"

Emperor Tianjing was also a little suspicious.

"This time Daxia's offensive is extremely fierce, and they have mobilized 300,000 troops!"

"You have spent so much effort and gained a certain upper hand in the war in the north. Why did you suddenly retreat?!"

Sima Cheng's voice was full of energy and filled the entire hall.

But these words made many people's expressions suddenly change.

Especially the ministers of Zhou Ting's party jumped out on the spot and accused Sima Cheng.

"Sima Cheng, what are your intentions?!"

"Could it be that you hope that Daxia will not withdraw its troops? Drive its troops south?!"

"Or do you have bad intentions and maliciously slander His Highness!?"

How could everyone not hear it? Sima Cheng's words were undoubtedly telling everyone that there was something fishy about Daxia's retreat. Zhou Ting might have something to do with it, but it definitely had little to do with it!

This is clearly denying Zhou Ting's contribution in public!

After hearing this, Zhou Fan looked calm, but he was actually happy inside!

He has never liked Sima Cheng as much as he does now.

"Your Majesty, Sima Cheng has a strong temper and always speaks straightforwardly."

"In addition, as the Minister of War, his understanding of war is far beyond what we can match."

"Why don't you just listen to what he has to say?"

Liu Fu stood up at the right time.

Changing from his normal state, he sided with Sima Cheng and even complimented him a few times.

He was an old fox for thousands of years, and coupled with his understanding of Sima Cheng, if he had not received certain information, he would definitely not speak like this on such an occasion.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as it is not good for Zhou Ting, Liu Fu will try his best to help him secretly.

"Sima Cheng, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Yong was also a little panicked when he saw this. This guy was usually honest, why did he come out and get crazy now? ?

If the image he had finally built up for Zhou Ting collapsed because of his words, I'm afraid the first thing Zhou Ting would do when he came back would be to kill Chen Yong.

It's a pity that Sima Cheng didn't listen to Chen Yong's words.

"Your Majesty, the core reason for Daxia's withdrawal this time is that the Yuan Dynasty sent troops!"

"In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, Daxia has no choice but to take this strategy."

Sima Cheng's eyes flashed and he spoke uprightly.

"absurd!"

"Why did the Yuan Dynasty send troops!?"

"Their best choice is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

"Yes, the Yuan Dynasty does not need to risk sending troops at this time. Lord Sima must find a reliable reason for fabricating lies."

The ministers were speechless, obviously not agreeing with this reason at all.

If the Yuan Dynasty wanted to send troops, they would have done so long ago.

Why wait until now! ?

Even if they send troops now, in their opinion, they only send troops because they think Zhou Ting is a god descended from heaven.

"Everyone, have you forgotten that there is another person?"

"Who!?"

"My great prince, Zhou Zheng!"

"My lords, please don't forget the Emperor's Palace.

The purpose of sending an envoy to Dayuan! "

For a moment, everyone in the house was shocked!

At this moment, they remembered that there was another prince in Dazhou named Zhou Zheng!
