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

"die?!"

"For these powerful families?!"

A burst of anger roared out from Zhou Zheng's chest.

He clenched his fists and roared at Zhong Zhishen below.

Such an attitude, this voice that echoed in the court without any warning and was almost like a roar, shocked the ministers including Mu Yun.

"Zhong Zhishen!"

"He's from a small mountain village in Yi'an County!"

"My family is poor, I have nothing but my four walls, I lost my mother when I was young, and I am alone and helpless!"

"Four years after the previous emperor, you were forced to join the army, fight the enemy, and try to win military merit."

"At that time, you killed the enemy without hesitation, fearless of death, just hoping to survive!"

“You weren’t scared at that time!”

"You were in the army, you could read and write, you got help from noble people, and you were gradually promoted."

"When you encounter injustice, you are willing to stand up, even at the risk of your own future!"

“You weren’t scared at that time!”

"After the political reforms, the court promoted you to the palace and put you in charge of revising the criminal law."

"You have a strong character. You do not join factional fights, you do not engage in corruption, and you do not go along with corrupt practices."

"In the end, he was wrongly accused by a villain, thrown into prison, and imprisoned after being demoted!"

“You weren’t scared at that time!”

"In prison, you are not used to the arrogance of the prison guards. You stand up for your fellow inmates and even die of old age or illness in prison."

"You weren't scared at that time!"

"You, Zhong Zhishen, do you still remember these?!"

Buzz! ! !

Zhou Zheng’s words continued to echo in the court.

Each of his words seemed to have a force of tens of millions of pounds, striking directly at the soul and causing Zhong Zhishen's entire expression to change suddenly.

Then he felt a surge of blood boiling in his body, and his eyes looking at Zhou Zheng were already wet with tears!

This is Zhong Zhishen’s life, a life he never wants to and will never forget.

Many people used to think that Zhong Zhishen was very stupid and naive. How difficult was it for him to get to where he is today from the poverty of ordinary people? !

But he does not know how to adapt, does not know how to be reverent, does not know how to flatter, and does not know how to be one with the world!

Therefore, he was destined to be abandoned, destined to be suppressed, and destined to never be able to truly benefit future generations in this life!

but!

Who would have known that Zhong Zhishen would be so proud and proud of his life!

This is him, Zhong Zhishen, this is the real Zhong Zhishen!

Unfortunately, this life, which he considered to be a proud life, has never been mentioned by anyone, and no one even knows about it.

Who could have thought that today's Zhou Zheng, the current emperor of the Great Zhou, would actually explain it clearly in front of all the civil and military officials in the court!

There was no regret or denial in those words, only recognition.

At this moment, Zhong Zhishen's body was shaking, his heart was beating fast, and he couldn't control his emotions!

"I will never forget this until I die!"

With a trembling voice, Zhong Zhishen kowtowed fiercely to Zhou Zheng.

The kowtow at this moment is not out of awe, but out of gratitude!

It is the gratitude that emanates from the bottom of my heart!

"Well, now I ask you!"

"Faced with the powerful families, are you really afraid?!"

Zhou Zheng took one step at a time, and made a sound with each step!

"No!"

"I, your old servant, have never been afraid, and I will never be afraid!"

Zhong Zhishen raised his head, his eyes slightly fixed, with no fear or panic of death on his face.

He had encountered countless life and death situations in his life, but he had never retreated.

Zhong Zhishen has done everything in his life just to have a clear conscience. Has he ever cared about anything in the outside world? !

"Not afraid!?"

"Why are you preparing to die today?"

“Not afraid?!”

"Why don't you think about eliminating these powerful families, but instead want to maintain a balance with them?!"

Zhou Zheng’s questioning continued to echo in the court.

It kept echoing in Zhong Zhishen's ears!

If you are not afraid, you should fight!

If you are really not afraid, you should fight to the death!

At this moment, Zhong Zhishen's heart suddenly shook. He looked up at Zhou Zheng, his pupils dilated, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't know why Zhou Zheng was like this.

He also didn't know what Zhou Zheng would do next.

However, the blood in Zhong Zhishen's body, which had been dormant for many years, began to boil at this moment.

dead!

so easy!

But, it is difficult to die meaningfully!

He thought that today, as long as he told Zhou Zheng the truth, as long as he died in this hall, it would be meaningful.

But now it seems that is not the case.
