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

Looking at the excited Zhou Zheng in front of him, Mu Yun was stunned for a moment.

But then he sighed, "But, Your Majesty, we can't afford to lose."

Shaking his head, the current situation was even more serious than Mu Yun had imagined.

If 90% of the officials go on strike, the entire Zhou Dynasty will be plunged into chaos in three days at most.

At that time, the imperial court will come to a standstill and be unable to function, and the entire world will fall into darkness.

All orders from the court could not be conveyed.

What kind of terrible situation would occur under the chain reaction? Mu Yun didn't even dare to think about it.

"That's right, we can't afford to lose!"

"But we may not lose!"

Zhou Zheng clenched his fists and spoke word by word.

"Since the aristocratic families really think they are strong enough, I want to see how strong they can be!"

"Hard steel?!"

"I am never afraid!"

"What I fear most is that they can't afford to play!"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, and a hint of coldness and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

He knew very well that at this point it was no longer a question of whether he could lose or not, but that he absolutely could not take a single step back.

Today, let alone 90% of the officials, even if everyone in the world resigned from office, Zhou Zheng would not have any hesitation!

Some things, once started, cannot be stopped.

Some things, once done, can only have one result.

Now Zhou Zheng must not turn back once he has shot the arrow.

Otherwise, even if the court and the aristocratic families regained their balance, even if the imperial power was consolidated, what would that matter? !

Zhou Zheng’s pressure will no longer exist, and his orders will become a joke in the world in the future!

What's the point of being an emperor like that?!

At that time, would Zhou Zheng still be qualified to talk about transforming the world, and still have the ability to create a prosperous world? !

In that case, let’s burn our boats!

"Aren't you all trying to show who will back down first?! Don't you all think the court is incompetent?!"

"This time, they are destined to be disappointed!"

Zhou Zheng's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes.

If the first step cannot be implemented, then Sima Cheng's subsequent military reform will be even more difficult.

"Then, I will go crazy with Your Majesty!"

Feeling Zhou Zheng's passion, Mu Yun's face once again showed a hint of determination.

No matter what, he will stand by Zhou Zheng.

"Send the order!"

"I will give them three days to think about it."

"If any official wakes up, I will forgive him for his past mistakes."

"For other officials, if they insist on resigning, the court will approve it. Those who are on sick leave can either go to court while sick or resign!"

Zhou Zheng's tone was firm, and he was obviously unwilling to compromise in the slightest.

"But, what should we do if there are no officials available in the court?!"

Mu Yun was not surprised by Zhou Zheng's attitude and decision.

What he was really worried about was the future operation of the court.

After all, this world is a human world. Without reasonable officials, this world will not be able to function properly.

"Aren't we going to compete in ruthlessness?!"

"Teacher, give another imperial decree!"

"Officials who resign will not be hired for life. Their descendants will not be allowed to hold important posts or positions in the court for three generations."

Zhou Zheng sat back on the dragon throne, closed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and finally gave the last order.

what! ?

Within three generations?!

Hiss, hiss! ! ! !

Upon hearing this decision, Mu Yun felt his head buzzing and even his breathing became rapid.

This is equivalent to completely cutting off the retreat of those officials.

You know, officials spend their entire lives trying to get promoted and get into a position of real power and importance, don’t they? !

Otherwise, what is the point of a clean government? !

Zhou Zheng's words undoubtedly cut off their retreat and turned against them completely? !

What kind of cruel method is this? !

Aren’t all parents in this world doing this for their children?!

If children are restricted, what is the point of their efforts? !

"Since you are receiving a salary from the court, you should devote yourself to the court."

"If they eat the court's salary and even destroy the court's pots and bowls, how can the children of such officials re-enter the court?!"

Zhou Zheng sneered.

There is no one in this world who is without weaknesses.

As long as they have weaknesses, Zhou Zheng will have a chance to turn things around.

Now, it depends on whether these officials really have such courage!
