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

The journey back to Beijing was safe, but boring.

Along the way, Zhou Zheng and others kept a very low profile.

But Gan Mo seemed to be worried, and his brows were furrowed.

"Gan Mo, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhou Zheng looked at Gan Mo and asked in a deep voice.

Over the years, they have lived and died together, and their relationship goes far beyond the so-called courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

When Zhou Zheng betrayed Gan Mo, Gan Mo sold his life to Zhou Zheng. No matter what happened, his loyalty never changed.

After asking this question, Zhou Ping was also a little curious.

"Your Majesty, this slave is taking the liberty of doing so."

"However, there are some things that we must guard against."

Gan Mo gritted his teeth, as if he had made a huge decision, but still raised his head and looked at Zhou Zheng.

And these words instantly made Zhou Ping realize that something was wrong.

Along the way, Gan Mo was silent. He thought it was just his physical injury that had not healed, but now it seemed that it was not just that.

"speak!"

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly and signaled Gan Mo to continue.

"The land in the north is the lifeline of Great Zhou."

"The northern border is stable, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is as immovable as a mountain."

"The northern border is destroyed, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is besieged on all sides."

"But if the northern land is not under His Majesty's control, then that is the real threat to Great Zhou..."

Gan Mo seemed to have made a huge decision. He didn't dodge his eyes, and there was no fear in his words. Instead, he directly said what was in his heart.

Buzz! ! !

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ping felt his head buzzing, and even his breathing couldn't help but become rapid.

His expression suddenly changed, and even his body became a little stiff, and his legs seemed to have forgotten to move forward.

What is this nonsense? !

This is undoubtedly making Zhou Zheng want to be wary of the Xiao family? !

Who in the world dares to say such words?

Even Zhou Ping has never thought about it like this, and he doesn't dare to think about it like this.

However, Gan Mo not only thought about it, but also said it.

This time, Zhou Ping rarely spoke.

He stayed there quietly, looking at Zhou Zheng from the corner of his eye with a complicated expression.

This time, Zhou Ping also wanted to know what Zhou Zheng was thinking and what decision Zhou Zheng would make.

At the beginning, Emperor Tianjing was afraid that the northern territory would be controlled by the Xiao family, so he tried every means and spent ten or twenty years to secretly disintegrate the Xiao family.

If Zhou Zheng hadn't been born, the current Xiao family would have been in pieces.

At that time, the Xiao family made great contributions to Emperor Tianjing's campaigns in the north and south.

Even Xiao Qing married Emperor Tianjing and made Zhou Zheng the prince.

It can be said that the Xiao family is so favored!

In the whole court, who dares to compete with the Xiao family? !

But even so, the more favor the Xiao family received, the stronger the murderous intention in Emperor Tianjing's heart.

Time has turned, and now the emperor is Zhou Zheng.

The land in the north is still the land in the north, and the Xiao family is still the Xiao family.

Even when Zhou Zheng said that he would not spare any effort to support the Northern Territory and the Xiao family, the favor of the Xiao family had already surpassed that during the reign of Emperor Tianjing.

Since ancient times, the power of kings has been supreme!

Any existence that threatens the monarchy will be erased.

The eternal truth!

Once the Northern Territory is integrated, once the Northern Territory receives unrelenting support from the imperial court, will the Northern Territory still be under the control of the imperial court at that time?

What will happen to Zhou Zheng at that time?

When Zhou Ping thought of this, his heart beat wildly and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He knew very well the meaning behind Gan Mo's words.

This is a huge gamble on human nature!

However, Gan Mo hopes Zhou Zheng wins!

Therefore, there was the idea of ​​striking first to gain the upper hand, and the idea of ​​letting Zhou Zheng secretly leave some back-ups in the northern land.

Because, when faced with the absolute temptation of power and the absolute tyranny of one's own strength, is the Northern Land really still the Northern Land of the imperial court?

Is the Xiao family still the Xiao family of the imperial court?

Even if Zhenbei King Xiao Mu, Xiao Hu, Xiao Guan and others are loyal, what about the other Xiao family members?

Human nature can never stand the test.

The reason why human nature can withstand the test is simply because there are not enough chips!

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

Zhou Zheng also didn't expect that Gan Mo would say these words at this time.

He lowered his head, meditating, and said nothing.

However, these actions caused sweat to gradually seep out of Zhou Ping's palms.

He didn't know what choice he wanted Zhou Zheng to make.

However, he knew that he was uneasy inside, very uneasy.

"I have never regretted my decision in this life."

"I believe in grandpa, and I also believe in the Xiao family!"

"There is no need to mention this matter again."

Zhou Zheng shook his head, his voice crisp and clear.

"I, there are not many people who believe in me in this life."

"But, I never doubt you."

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Ping and Gan Mo Qingyu.

"Join. One day, if a treacherous villain slanders you, I will not hesitate to stand by your side."

Zhou Zheng's voice was very calm, but it was sonorous and powerful.

These short words made Zhou Ping extremely moved.

How could he not understand the art of kingship in the house of an emperor?

Today, if Zhou Zheng really started to be wary of the Xiao family as Gan Mo suggested, Zhou Ping would naturally understand and even accept it.

But at the same time, his fiery heart will begin to cool down.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng's answer let him know that Zhou Zheng was still Zhou Zheng, the boss he followed life and death.

Gan Mo also trembled slightly, obviously he didn't expect Zhou Zheng to trust them so much.

"But, what if?"

Gan Mo smiled bitterly, with a complicated look in his eyes.

In this world, nothing is ever 100% certain.

"If, by any chance..."

Zhou Zheng paused for a moment, then raised his head and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Then, I admit it too!"

Zhou Zheng nodded.

In this life, he just wants to live how he wants to live.

In this life, he just wanted to have a clear conscience.

No one can control the future, so why worry about it?

"His Majesty......"

Gan Mo's heart suddenly moved, and his voice was choked with sobs.

Although Zhou Ping said nothing, his eyes were still moist.

"Why bother to accuse someone?"

"I, sincerely exchange sincerity!"

Zhou Zheng flicked his sleeves and looked up to the sky laughing.

"Boss, I will follow you through life and death!"

Zhou Ping clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart.

Afterwards, everyone stopped talking, the atmosphere suddenly became brighter, and they set off towards the capital.

......

"Prime Minister, how long does it take for Your Majesty to return to court?"

In the court, the officials looked nervous and serious.

"almost!"

"Report from the front, His Majesty arrived in Kyoto today."

Mu Yun's old face was also a little panicked.

......
