Wei Ming knelt in front of Zhou Zheng, with no trace of hypocrisy on his face.

"You still have a chance now."

"Kill me, and you can still escape unscathed."

Zhou Zheng looked at Wei Ming without any emotion and spoke calmly.

And these words made the corners of Gong Tan's mouth twitch behind her. If it weren't for Zhou Zheng's identity, she would even want to give Zhou Zheng a big mouth.

I have seen people seeking death, but I have never seen anyone seeking death so eagerly.

People's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and how many people do things that are just for the sake of profit.

Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, not only did not appease Wei Ming, but instead reminded him again and again that he would kill his entire family.

Anyone here would probably feel rebellious.

"This slave deserves to die. I am unworthy of Lord Zhenbei."

"No matter how His Highness deals with this servant in the end, even if he kills my entire Wei family, I will never regret it."

Wei Ming had a complicated expression. He had followed Xiao Mu in his expeditions to the south and north, and made great contributions to the Zhou Dynasty.

With his temperament as the Marquis of Zhenbei, he would never betray his country by surrendering to the enemy.

But it happened that Wei Ming did such a disgraceful act.

Although there are many reasons, what you do is what you do.

From the time he agreed to Daxia's plan to seize the military power of Quancheng, he was prepared to pay an absolute price.

Now, he has no regrets in being able to die in the hands of the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"But I can't just kill you like this."

Zhou Zheng shook his head.

"No matter how His Highness punishes me, I will never complain."

At this time, Wei Ming no longer thinks too much, doesn't even make any struggles or hopes, and just does everything as he pleases.

"I would like to know why the three major families want to make this deal with Daxia Country."

"It is true that the three major families control the situation in Quan City, but in front of my great Zhou Dynasty, they are just ants with a mantis' arm like a chariot."

Zhou Zheng's question made Gong Tan's eyes widen.

The three major families have been able to take root in Quancheng for so many years, and they rely on more than just brute force.

Seizing control of Quancheng can show the strength of the three major families in a short time, but so what?

In front of the imperial army, his destructive posture completely wiped them out!

It is impossible for the three major families to not know which one is more important.

"Because seizing control is just asking the court to replace the guard general."

"The second prince will not let this matter rise to the level of surrendering to the enemy and treason. He will only turn a big issue into a trivial matter."

At this time, Wei Ming no longer had any need to hide anything, so he spoke immediately.

The competition between the nine sons for the right to inherit the throne has become more and more intense in the past two years. The second prince laid out the plans for Quancheng three years ago, so Huang Ming became the defender of Quancheng.

The second prince has already formed some kind of cooperation with Daxia Kingdom, and Xue Shi and the other four people were specially assigned by the second prince!

Therefore, once things get serious in Quancheng, the second prince will bear the brunt and will not be able to escape unscathed!

"I see."

Zhou Zheng nodded. It turned out that the three major families knew that Zhou Ting did not dare to expand the matter here!

As for how the second prince would explain to the court, that was not something the three major families cared about.

"Besides, Daxia Kingdom has also given enough conditions. Not to mention me, none of the three major families can resist it."

"After Daxia completely takes control of Quancheng, it can hand over the silk and tea trade between Dazhou and Daxia to our three major families..."

This is what really makes Wei Ming and others tempted.

Although the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty are currently at war, once the war is over, the two countries will exchange whatever they need. Among them, silk, tea and other businesses are the main trade between the two countries.

Quancheng is not far from Great Xia. If the hub of trade between the two sides is transferred to Quancheng, the interests of the three major families can be imagined.

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Even Gong Tan took a deep breath. He didn't expect Daxia to be willing to give such conditions in order to gain control of Quancheng.

It's no wonder that the three major families are so concerned about this matter and are willing to take the risk even if they risk collaborating with the enemy and treason.

After all, wealth can be found in danger!

As long as the second prince can suppress this matter, not only will the three major families not be implicated, but they will also be able to take off and become truly aristocratic families!

Unfortunately, they failed. At the critical moment, Zhou Zheng broke in and completely disrupted their rhythm.

"Clan Chief Wei, you are confused."

"Can you really believe what Daxia said?"

"Aren't you worried that in the end the attempt will be all in vain?"

Gong Tan sighed softly. There will be no pie in the world again. The bigger the temptation, the bigger the temptation is, there will be a huge trap hidden behind it.

She didn't know why the three major families would agree to such a simple and easy-to-understand truth.

"Because the three major families are not optimistic about the current Zhou Dynasty."

"In other words, the three major families are betting that the strength of the Zhou Dynasty will be exhausted."

Zhou Zheng took the words, his voice was not loud, but it made Wei Ming's body tremble slightly as he was kneeling on the ground.

Because this sentence hits the point.

"At the moment, the Zhou Dynasty seems to be prosperous and upward, but in fact it is full of crises."

"Bandits are rife in the country, and the imperial court is already in turmoil as its nine sons seize the throne."

"The Kingdom of Daxia sent its troops southward, and the Yuan Dynasty watched with eager eyes."

"Except for the Marquis of Zhenbei, looking at the imperial court, there are very few famous generals. There are few famous generals and ministers in the country..."

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes slightly. Behind the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty, there were actually dangers everywhere.

One mistake and the entire dynasty is at risk of being overthrown.

"Can!?"

Gong Tan's face turned pale. She wanted to retort, but Zhou Zheng's words came to her ears again.

"Even the second prince colluded with foreigners, let alone them?"

"If we really want to investigate further, I don't know how many ministers and princes of the court have secretly engaged in shady activities with the Daxia Kingdom and the Yuan Dynasty."

These words made Gong Tan feel a panic in his heart. As he continued to breathe, his eyes were full of fear and shock!

If the prince is like this, why should he call other ministers and generals?

"These are all things that cannot be put on the table. The Zhou Dynasty, which seemed to be at its peak, was already on the verge of collapse."

Zhou Zheng talked softly. Along the way, Zhou Zheng experienced not only pursuits, but also witnessed the seriousness of the internal strife in the Zhou Dynasty.

This kind of internal friction was enough to kill the Zhou Dynasty!

Zhou Zheng's words made the kneeling Wei Ming's pupils shrink continuously.

He originally thought that these issues would not be seen by the emperors, princes and many ministers in the court, but he did not expect Zhou Zheng to speak so thoroughly.

It's not like Wei Ming didn't expect to shed his blood for Da Zhou.

However, in recent years, people died of hunger in the fields, bones were frozen on the road, banditry was everywhere, and rebellions continued in various places. However, the officials were enjoying themselves and the court did not do anything, which had long ago completely extinguished his passion for throwing his life and blood for the court.

"Your Highness has this view, which is actually a blessing to me."

"Perhaps, our Great Zhou Dynasty will turn things around because of Your Highness..."

After listening to your words, Wei Ming has new hope!

He is worthy of being the grandson of Zhenbei Hou!

He was not flattering or flattering, but he truly saw in Zhou Zheng the look of a wise king!

This is the great fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
