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

A great victory in Xiangjun!

Zhou Zheng killed more than 100,000 rebels and captured the third prince alive!

The news was like a tornado, blowing throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty at extremely fast speeds!

For a time, Zhou Zheng's name once again became the focus of heated discussions in the world.

Whether it was princes, generals, ministers or ordinary people, they were all talking about Zhou Zheng.

Even a three-year-old child is familiar with Zhou Zheng's name.

At the same time, in the imperial capital of the Zhou Dynasty, ministers were arranged in rows above the court hall.

"Your Majesty, Xiang County has won a great victory, and the imperial court has sent a message to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Only this time..."

Liu Fu stood at the front, with a little sadness on his face, and stood respectfully in front of Emperor Tianjing.

There was not much joy on his face, and even the courtiers frowned when they heard the word Zhou Zheng.

They already knew the news of Xiangjun's victory.

But the hearts of the ministers were quite complicated.

They hope that Xiangjun will win and also hope that all the rebels will be killed.

But they hope that the final result will be that both Zhou Zheng and the third prince will suffer losses, and the court will reap the benefits.

However, who would have thought that Zhou Zheng still had the last laugh.

Since Zhou Zheng was not stupid, it has been difficult for the court to manipulate Zhou Zheng.

It was not because the court was weak, but because Zhou Zheng was eloquent and full of tricks.

He was convinced of his status as the prince and His Majesty's concern for the name of benevolence and righteousness, so he repeatedly resisted the decree.

This time, the imperial edict has been spread, and Xuan Zhou Zheng comes to the palace to meet the saint, so that Zhou Zheng can be rewarded.

But everyone was a little worried in their hearts, because they had a vague feeling that Zhou Zheng would still be unable to resist the order this time.

After all, there had been rumors outside that the imperial court deliberately delayed the march of the army in order to let Zhou Zheng die in Xiangjun.

Even ordinary people can see the clues, and they don't believe that Zhou Zheng didn't notice it at all.

If he doesn't come this time, it will undoubtedly confirm the outside world's speculation about the court, and even slap the Zhou court in the face in public.

"Is there no king's land under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the land!"

"Father, if my fourth brother dares to disobey His Majesty again and again, I will definitely be the first to disagree!"

Zhou Fan, who had been silent until now, took a step across and knelt down towards Emperor Tianjing.

"Your Majesty, no matter how great your achievements are, the prince is still my subject of Dazhou!

The majesty of my court cannot be provoked by anyone! "

"Besides, I heard that the imperial court supported the prince this time. Not only was the prince ungrateful, he even killed General Chen Qi!"

"That's right!"

"General Chen Qi is the pillar of my imperial court. He has fought countless battles and made great contributions, but he was killed by the prince on unfounded charges!"

"Not only General Chen Qi, but also many generals!"

Someone spoke up, and other ministers went to Emperor Shutian Jing one after another and began to be dissatisfied with Zhou Zheng's many actions in Xiang County!

"Your Majesty, your kindness and compassionate heart are a blessing to the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"But it is precisely because of this that it encourages the arrogance of some people!"

"The prince certainly contributed to quelling the rebellion in Xiangjun, but he is so proud of himself that he ignores the court, the laws, and even the Holy One!"

"This is a grave sin!"

The Minister of Rites and the Minister of War came out to kneel on Emperor Tianjing together with the eldest prince Zhou Fan.

They were filled with righteous indignation and told Zhou Zheng's crimes one after another. It was simply too numerous to describe!

"I heard that tens of thousands of people in Xiang County were killed this time."

"Not only were the rebels killed, but also the soldiers who surrendered, and even the innocent people!"

"In order to fully demonstrate his status in Xiang County, His Highness the Crown Prince massacred countless innocent people."

"The entire Xiang County was stained with blood. It is said that even the sky was blood red, which was shocking."

Many civil servants also knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the prince's execution of General Chen Qi and other generals has caused great dissatisfaction and restlessness in the army."

"If I don't give everyone an explanation, I'm afraid everyone will be disappointed."

"That's right, the soldiers worked hard for the imperial court. Even if there are some minor mistakes, they should not be killed like this by the prince!"

"They died on the battlefield without regrets, but they were not willing to die in the hands of the prince!"

"Why do you ask your Majesty to make the decision?"

Similarly, the generals also came out, gnashing their teeth and filled with righteous indignation!

Of the 50,000 elite members of the imperial court, it is said that only a few thousand remain.

Especially when some of the details came back, it was even more unbearable for everyone.

The reason why the imperial soldiers suffered such heavy losses this time has everything to do with Zhou Zheng!

So what if Zhou Zheng is the prince! ,

Who knows that the emperor commits the same crime as the common people? !

"Prime Minister, what do you think?!"

Emperor Tianjing raised his head slightly, and as soon as he spoke, the originally noisy court instantly became quiet.

Emperor Tianjing's eyes fell on Liu Fu, and his expression did not fluctuate much.

Just this question made everyone in the court focus on Liu Fu.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"I feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made great contributions in quelling the rebellion in Xiang County this time and should be rewarded!"

As soon as Liu Fu said these words, the scene was in an uproar. When everyone looked at Liu Fu, they were all in disbelief.

When did Liu Fu actually speak for His Highness the Crown Prince?

Even the eldest prince Zhou Fan's eyes widened and he looked confused!

"but!"

Just when everyone was wondering, Liu Fu changed the topic.

"The specific details of what happened in Xiang County still need to be investigated by the Imperial City Department."

"If it is true as the rumors say, then the prince may have gone too far."

"This world is the world of the Holy Sage, the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not the prince's highness."

Liu Fu spoke slowly and leisurely.

"The Prime Minister is right!"

"This world is the world of Zhou Dynasty, the world of the Holy Emperor, not the prince's world!"

"How can we allow the prince to act recklessly!?"

"If the prince cannot return to the court according to the order this time, then he has no emperor and no court!"

"Not to mention his behavior in Xiang County, this alone is a crime of great disrespect!"

The ministers spoke again.

There was a lot of talk in the court, but no one stood on Zhou Zheng's side.

Seeing the colleagues around him constantly criticizing Zhou Zheng's crimes, hearing their words that wanted to trample Zhou Zheng deep into the soil, and seeing their indignant and hypocritical looks, Sima Cheng's eyes were full of disappointment.

Is this the court he is loyal to?

These are the colleagues he works with! ?

Although he was standing on the court, he suddenly felt that he was not a member of the court.

Because he can't make mistakes.

Because he cannot accept confusing right and wrong.

Because he couldn't bear to see these intrigues for his own benefit.

"Chen, I want to resign..."

Sima Cheng felt bitter and hesitant in his heart, and then he spoke loudly and forcefully as if he had made a huge decision.

And these words made the Manchao officials turn around sharply.

The original hustle and bustle came to an abrupt end.
