Chongde Hall.

The civil and military ministers of the court stood in rows.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Emperor Tianjing above.

At this time, the prince's murder in the street was confirmed.

"Your Majesty, what the prince did this time really went too far."

"An unprovoked murder was committed in the street. The evidence is conclusive and is visible to all the people in the world."

"If the court pretends to turn a blind eye and not listen, where will the majesty of the court be in the future? Where will the people's respect for the law be!?"

Liu Fu took a deep breath, his face filled with fear and heartache.

The other ministers also quickly agreed.

The eldest prince Zhou Fan and the second prince Zhou Ting looked at each other and expressed their hope that Emperor Tianjing would severely punish Zhou Zheng.

"Father, this matter concerns the royal family. Countless people are waiting for it. We can't delay it any longer!"

Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows, he finally waited for this opportunity, how could he be willing to miss it? !

"That's right, please ask my father to think of me, the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Zhou Fan also knelt in the court hall.

Everyone in the court had only one attitude, and that was to severely punish Zhou Zheng!

There is quite a feeling that not killing Zhou Zheng is not enough to vent the people's anger!

When Emperor Tianjing's slightly opened eyes glanced over the large group of kneeling ministers and princes below, there was also a hint of hesitation and a complicated look in his eyes.

"The prince has made great achievements in Xiang County at this time. What do you think?"

He spoke calmly, this was the only thing Emperor Tianjing said today.

And this question made everyone's hearts sink slightly.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?

Could it be that he wanted to excuse the prince? !

At present, Zhou Zheng has already emerged in terms of talent and military ability, and is by no means ordinary.

He also made an unparalleled contribution.

Has His Majesty's attitude towards the Crown Prince changed?

Thinking of this, the eldest prince and the second prince panicked slightly.

"Father, let us share the credit and the fault together!"

"Yes, my father governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, but the prince's approach is the opposite!"

The two princes have already reached a united front. No matter what, they must not let Zhou Zheng go this time!

"Father, what the prince does is far more than just killing people on the streets of the imperial capital!"

Emperor Tianjing still refused to let go, and the eldest prince Zhou Fan finally couldn't help it.

And these words made Emperor Tianjing raise his head again and focus on him.

"Say!"

With Emperor Tianjing's consent, Zhou Fan spoke slowly as if he had made a huge decision.

"According to what I learned, the prince went on a massacre in Xiang County, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people died under his sword."

"The people of Xiang County have long been panic-stricken. The people dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Rivers of blood flow and there are cries of mourning."

After saying this, Zhou Fan beat his chest and seemed very sad.

"The prince's violence is far beyond imagination."

"Even those soldiers who surrendered could not escape their killing."

"Now, Xiang County has long been empty of ten houses and is completely desolate."

At this time, Zhou Zheng was already described by Zhou Fan as a ruthless man who was unforgiving and committed mass killings.

There is no virtue of benevolence or righteousness in him.

"Father, my fourth brother is not just cruel and cruel."

"even more......"

The way Zhou Ting hesitated to speak aroused the curiosity of many ministers.

After all, they had heard a little bit of what Zhou Fan said just now.

But what Zhou Ting was talking about didn't seem to be about Xiang County.

"Second brother, in front of my father and all the civil and military officials, you don't have to hide anything!"

Zhou Fan cooperated very well.

"My son, I suspect that the prince has committed treason..."

Zhou Ting looked troubled, and finally, as if he had made a huge decision, he looked up at Emperor Tianjing and spoke in a deep voice every word!

Treason! ?

As soon as these two words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

Not only the ministers, but also characters such as Liu Fu and the eldest prince also had their faces twitching slightly.

Especially the eldest prince, he had colluded with Zhou Ting before he went to court. Zhou Ting only said that he had the means to put Zhou Zheng to death, but he did not say that it was treason!

You know, the crime of treason is more serious than rebellion!

Rebellion is at best an internal conflict within the dynasty, but treason is suspected of colluding with external forces!

In all dynasties, treason has been an extremely serious crime, ranging from being cut into pieces with a thousand swords, to being executed in a hurry, to being severely punished by annihilating the nine tribes and implementing the method of sitting together!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ting would actually tell the public in the court that the prince was suspected of treason!

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and then started talking.

"Second brother, don't say the word treason casually!"

"Do you have any real evidence?!"

Zhou Fan frowned. Although he didn't like Zhou Zheng and had long wanted to replace him, he never thought that he would be charged with treason.

However, Zhou Fan looked solemn, but in fact he was excited and excited.

He had previously suspected why Zhou Zheng suddenly gained strength in Xiang County, but could not find any clues.

If what Zhou Ting said is true, then everything will be explained.

What Zhou Fan asked was what everyone present was thinking.

"Of course there is!"

Nodding, Zhou Ting took out a stack of letters from his sleeve.

"Father, when the prince went north to get married, although the marriage was not successful in the end, he gained the friendship of the Yuan Dynasty,"

"It's not because of the prince's charm, but because the prince did something in Beiyuan."

Zhou Ting's voice kept changing throughout the court.

"The prince was in Dayuan, helping Emperor Wanqing to clean up his internal affairs, and even led troops to sneak attack on Daxia."

"He has made many achievements for the Yuan Dynasty!"

"In this way, the strength of the Yuan Dynasty royal family was enhanced and centralization of power was strengthened."

Zhou Ting's sworn words made everyone at the scene change their expressions slightly, and then the officials were shocked!

No wonder the attitude of the Yuan Dynasty towards the Zhou Dynasty changed so drastically!

Unexpectedly, all of this was because of His Royal Highness.

"As the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I don't want to make contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but I help the Yuan Dynasty court. It's a joke!"

"If word spreads, how will the people of the world view my royal family!?"

"How will the people of the Yuan Dynasty view my imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty?!"

Regardless of whether they were civil servants or military generals, their expressions were extremely ugly at this moment.

This is clearly a slap in the face to them!

Is it because the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot tolerate people like the prince? !

Or was it that the prince deliberately disgusted the officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty? !

It has been a year since these things happened, and no one knows it!

"Your Highness, spreading rumors about the Crown Prince is a serious crime!"

Liu Fu also raised his eyebrows and stared at Zhou Ting with burning eyes.

This matter can be said to be no small matter!

In today's world, the three kingdoms of Da Zhou, Da Yuan and Da Xia stand side by side, maintaining a delicate balance.

If Zhou Zhengruo really helped the Yuan Dynasty behind the imperial court's back, then his crime would indeed be suspected of treason!

"Father, what I said is definitely not false or rumoured!"

Zhou Ting knelt in the main hall and raised a stack of letters in his hand above his head.

At Emperor Tianjing's signal, the eunuch quickly presented the things to Emperor Tianjing.
