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

Xiao Mu's decisiveness was unexpected by Zhou Zheng.

Just ask the people in the world, how many people can do this in this situation! ?

"It's not the old minister who wants to kill them, but the Zhenbei Army who wants to kill them!"

"The military soul of the Zhenbei Army and the glory of the Zhenbei Army cannot be tarnished by anyone!"

"Don't say that they followed me through life and death. Even if Xiao Guan and Xiao Hu did such a thing, I would not hesitate at all."

Xiao Mu roared, a cold light surging in his eyes.

He didn't care about the blood stains at the corners of his mouth, or even about his waning years.

Xiao Mu spent his whole life killing countless enemies in order to maintain the reputation of the Zhenbei Army.

In these years, the Zhenbei Army has not fallen because of the cavalry of Great Xia, nor has it fallen because the court did not pay the army, nor has it fallen because of the emperor's speculation and the conspiracies of the courtiers!

Now, it is even less likely that it will be destroyed because of these traitors!

"His Majesty!"

"If you still remember the merits of the Zhenbei Army and the hardships of our veterans, please don't hesitate and kill them!"

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Mu almost used up all his strength.

He is not acting, nor is he being pretentious.

He knew better than anyone else that as long as he opened his mouth, Zhou Zheng would definitely let these people survive.

But, he can't, and he can't do it!

Letting these people survive is just to make myself feel better, but other than that, there is no benefit at all.

Dazhou, you can’t set such a precedent!

The Zhenbei Army also cannot set such a precedent.

Zhou Zheng remained silent, lowering his head as if deep in thought.

Hey!

After a long time, Zhou Zheng finally sighed.

"it is good!"

Just one word expressed Zhou Zheng's attitude and decision.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Zhenbei Army is still there!"

Xiao Mu raised his head, there was still a trace of determination in his eyes.

This year, in the northern region, the Zhenbei Army has been recruiting and reorganizing. With Xiao Guan's abilities, he believed that the reputation of the Zhenbei Army would soon be revived.

"Old minister, I have another unkind request."

Turning to look at Zhou Zheng, Xiao Mu continued to speak.

"Grandpa just said it's okay."

Zhou Zheng nodded.

"Old minister, I want to kill them with my own hands."

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Mu's hoarse voice contained a complex tremor.

In this way, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end, and it can also be regarded as a final farewell to them.

Zhou Zheng was a little surprised. He knew the price to pay for such behavior.

From now on, it will be difficult for Xiao Mu to invade, and nightmares will linger!

However, Zhou Zheng did not refuse after all.

He knew Xiao Mu's temperament very well. If Xiao Mu didn't do something himself, he wouldn't be willing to do it.

Or maybe, he was also giving himself a punishment and explanation.

After all, these are his people.

"I have already sent an order to the court."

"From now on, the imperial court will not be in arrears with any military payments for the Zhenbei Army."

"Furthermore, the military salaries of all soldiers and generals will be increased."

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly and made a solemn promise.

In these years, the world has only seen the Zhenbei Army's heroic killing of enemies, but little did they know that even the military pay was not guaranteed.

Zhou Zheng would never make the mistake Emperor Tianjing made back then.

The northern border is so important. He cannot let the Xiao family resist the difficulty of defending the country, and also let the Xiao family bear an undue economic price.

"Grandpa, this matter is settled."

Seeing that Xiao Mu was about to speak, Zhou Zheng shook his head.

What Da Zhou lacks today is not money!

But to re-train a more powerful Zhenbei Army!

He will never allow such problems to occur in the future!

"How long...how long do they have?"

Xiao Mu's peripheral vision fell on the list in Zhou Zheng's hand again, and he asked in a trembling voice.

"Three days!"

Slowly exhaling the turbid air from his chest, it was a great kindness to let them live until now.
