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

"Put the overall situation first?!"

"I want to know, what is the overall situation?!"

At this moment, Zhou Zheng was completely furious!

He never imagined that these powerful families had such means that they could even shake the foundation of a dynasty!

"Zhong Zhishen, tell me!"

"What is the overall situation?!"

Zhou Zheng stood up, no longer able to remain calm on the dragon throne.

He pointed at Zhong Zhishen and roared loudly.

This roar and this question are also questions to all the officials in the court!

"The great Zhou dynasty is the overall situation. The stability of the court is the overall situation. The survival of the people is the overall situation!"

Zhong Zhishen was not surprised by Zhou Zheng's anger. He answered softly with a smile on his face.

"The country?! The court? The people?!"

"Good, good, good!"

Zhou Zheng clapped his hands, but his voice became colder and colder.

He moved his feet lightly and walked down the dragon steps step by step.

Wherever he passed, a powerful pressure was felt.

All the civil and military officials in the court felt the tremendous pressure from Zhou Zheng. Their expressions changed and they all knelt down towards Zhou Zheng.

"So, you think that this time, the only way is for me to back down?!"

"Only if I can restore the balance between the clans and the court?!"

Finally, Zhou Zheng stood in front of Zhong Zhishen.

Looking at the old man kneeling in front of him with a hunched back, Zhou Zheng widened his eyes and questioned loudly.

"Yes."

Zhong Zhishen gritted his teeth but still nodded.

"My dear ministers, do you think the same way?"

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhong Zhishen with disappointment on his face.

Then he turned to look at the other officials in the court, but unfortunately the response he got was exactly the same as Zhong Zhishen's.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng only felt a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart.

He risked his life for the Great Zhou.

He, for the sake of the people, does everything he can.

But now, the result is that I have to compromise with the aristocratic family, not to easily touch the interests of the aristocratic family, and tell myself that this road is not feasible. If I really insist on fighting, there is only one way to go, which is death? !

What a joke!

"Then, I want to know, how should we strike a balance next?!"

"How can we return to balance?!"

"Could it be that you want me to issue an edict of apology? To ask me to apologize to all the powerful families in the world?!"

Zhou Zhengjie smiled, but the gloomy tone on his face became heavier and heavier!

"Need not."

"Your Majesty, you only need to do one thing."

This time, when Zhong Zhishen looked up, his eyes were much calmer, and even his voice was much calmer.

"Say!"

Zhou Zheng flicked his sleeves. He wanted to know what Zhong Zhishen meant by rebalancing.

"Kill the minister!"

Just two short words, the sound was very light, but it was full of sonorous power.

what? !

Zhou Zheng seemed as if he didn't hear it clearly. His eyes were full of disbelief and even a little surprise.

"Your Majesty, as long as you kill me, those powerful families will naturally restrain themselves."

"Later, as long as Your Majesty does not make any other major moves, the balance will gradually return to normal."

Zhong Zhishen, when he stood up today and said the word "family", and spoke of the hidden power therein, he was already prepared to die.

The imperial court needs to give an explanation to these powerful families.

Zhou Zheng needs an attitude even more!

Today, Zhong Zhishen’s life can be used as an explanation to the family!

Because, if he broke this layer of paper, as long as Zhou Zheng killed him, it would mean that Zhou Zheng was unwilling to break off relations with these powerful families, and it would also mean that the imperial court was unwilling to break this balance.

Then, the following things will be much simpler.

"Your Majesty, please grant me death!"

Zhong Zhishen's peripheral vision had already fallen on the wooden stake in the court.

As long as Zhou Zheng gives the order, he will do whatever it takes and die on the spot!

Of course, if Zhou Zheng was sentenced to death, he would have no regrets.

Because today's situation always requires a result.

Because the situation where there is no one available in the court at this time must end.
