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

Zhou Zheng sat at the top, and Su Xun'er stood next to him.

At this time, all the elders and the chief clerk were already frightened to the point of peeing their pants. They knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

No one knows what Zhou Zheng will do next.

They only asked Zhou Zheng to show mercy to them because these people were surnamed Su and because of the contributions the Su family had made to Zhou Zheng.

"You guys, want to leave the Su family?!"

"You're also taking away salt and papermaking skills!?"

Zhou Zheng stared calmly at the elders below, his voice neither salty nor bland.

But the more such sounds were heard, the colder and more piercing they sounded, making them feel a sense of impending death.

"Your Majesty, we dare not!"

The Great Elder swallowed his saliva, his voice trembled, and he shook his head like a turtle.

In front of Su Xun'er, they can show off their power, threaten her, or even show disdain.

But in front of Zhou Zheng, how could they have the courage? !

Seeing these elders being so cowardly, Zhou Zheng couldn't help sneering.

Even Su Xun'er was a little disappointed.

The people of the Su family are of strong character and would rather die than surrender. How could they be so cowardly?

If they looked up and told Su Xun'er everything that had happened before, perhaps Su Xun'er would look at them with a higher regard.

"I also heard that you want to restore the elders' meeting system?"

Zhou Zheng drummed his fingers on the table, ignored the elders, and continued to ask questions.

At this time, the elders already looked as pale as death, so how could they dare to act as they did just now?

"I also heard that you want to raise the price of salt?!"

Finally, when he said this, Zhou Zheng put down the teacup in his hand, and his expression became rarely gloomy.

Aristocratic families are nothing in Zhou Zheng's eyes.

He didn't care at all about the power struggles among these so-called aristocratic families. In fact, in Zhou Zheng's opinion, this was a normal phenomenon.

The wages of avarice is death.

The size of the Su family now is beyond imagination.

Coupled with Zhou Zheng's relationship, it is too normal for the Su family to have factional disputes.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng doesn’t care about the simple internal power struggle.

But this group of people shouldn't do two things.

One thing is to threaten Su Xun'er!

This is Zhou Zheng’s woman.

She is the woman who has been with Zhou Zheng from the very beginning!

This is the woman Zhou Zheng promised and vowed to treat wholeheartedly.

How can we allow them to bully?!

The second thing is people’s livelihood!

Although he has become an emperor, Zhou Zheng's heart is still in the hands of the people of the world.

Zhou Zheng repeatedly warned everyone not to raise the price of salt.

Salt is related to reputation and the stability of the world. How can it be controlled by those who are blinded by profit? !

"It seems like you really don't care about my orders."

The light words, the cold murderous intent, every word seemed to weigh tens of millions of pounds, hitting the hearts of these elders hard.

They now wish they could slap themselves in the face a few times.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"I'm waiting, guilty!"

"But we are all for the Su family and for the Great Zhou."

"We may have been too hasty and forgetful just now. Please forgive us for any inappropriate behavior, Your Majesty."

The Great Elder and others kowtowed continuously.

They used a lot of force, making banging sounds, and soon his forehead began to bleed redly.

But they don't care.

They just hope Zhou Zheng won't get angry.

They just hope to survive.

However, in Zhou Zheng's opinion, this trick is simply child's play.

"Su family, you are the one in charge."

"Xun Er, how do you think this matter should be handled?!"

Zhou Zheng turned and looked at Su Xun'er.

These few words made the elders' hearts sink.

They could see that Zhou Zheng still cared about Su Xun'er, but they didn't expect that the degree of his care was far beyond their expectations.

Even Su Xun'er was a little surprised.

Zhou Zheng is asking for his opinion? !

For a moment, Su Xun'er felt nervous and surprised, but also a sense of warmth.

She knew that Zhou Zheng did this on purpose for these people to see.

Just to shut these people up.

But how to deal with these people? !

Su Xun'er herself was also a little confused.

Seeing this, the Great Elder and others were very thoughtful and quickly turned around and kowtowed to Su Xun'er.

They muttered to themselves, hoping that Su Xun'er would be kind enough to give them a chance.

Be sincere in your words.

Su Xun'er also looked a little hesitant.
