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

"If the world's aristocratic families join forces, what chances do we have?"

There was a hint of panic in Zhou Ping's eyes.

"no!"

King Zhenbei raised his head, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he finally shook his head.

He has fought countless battles in his life, he has gone through countless mountains of swords and seas of fire, and he has seen countless deaths in his life.

It can be said that King Zhenbei is omnipotent on the battlefield. He has created countless miracles and turned the tide countless times.

This time, facing the joint efforts of the aristocratic families, he had no chance of winning, nor did he feel that he had the slightest chance.

If the aristocratic families join forces, they will have the ability to change the dynasty in an instant.

If possible, they would be able to unify the Three Kingdoms.

Become the master of this continent.

The reason for this is that the aristocratic families have complicated grievances and intricate interests.

These situations made it impossible for the aristocratic families to truly see the status of their backbone.

This is why the Zhou royal family, Yuan Dynasty and Xia Dynasty were given opportunities.

But this time things are different.

If Zhou Zheng's previous Qingmiao Law and tax reforms had made the aristocratic families dissatisfied, then this time Zhou Zheng's imperial examination system and political review system had completely shaken the foundations of the aristocratic families.

Once the imperial examination system is fully implemented, once schools are spread all over the country, and once political review is fully carried out.

That would mean that all the aristocratic families would fall.

From then on, no one could threaten the imperial power, and the aristocratic families eventually became the dust of history.

And, most importantly, it happens very quickly.

Perhaps it would only take twenty years, or even less, to completely make the aristocratic families disappear.

After all, once the people of the entire Great Zhou began to accept and even recognize this model, the aristocratic families would lose the soil for their continued survival.

This is a fact that no aristocratic family can accept.

So, they were unwilling to give in.

They have to respond and fight back.

Unfortunately, this time they met Zhou Zheng, a man with absolutely tough methods.

They thought about dismissing all officials in the world, but unfortunately Zhou Zheng immediately let Confucian students take over.

And it seems that there are no mistakes.

So, from that moment on, they knew that it was impossible to talk to Zhou Zheng, and it was also impossible to make Zhou Zheng back down.

Therefore, the only way may be to confront it head-on.

They took the initiative.

When the blood pigeon appeared, all the noble families met together, temporarily put aside their grudges, and united to face the outside world.

Everyone has a common goal, which is to overthrow Zhou Zheng and kill Zhou Zheng!

At this time, Zhou Ping and others fell silent.

Zhou Zheng also rarely said anything.

He naturally knew that what Xiao Mu said was not groundless nor exaggerated.

In fact, these may be more eye-catching than what Xiao Mu said.

"They have sidelined me and sealed off the entire northern border."

"Now, the court and the northern border have lost contact."

"We have no idea what's going on in the court. Just like the court doesn't know what's going on in the north now."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mu suppressed the worries in his heart and turned his gaze back to Zhou Zheng.

He looked apologetic now.

Zhou Zheng trusted him so much, but as the King of Zhenbei, he did not notice the secret changes in the northern border and was thus sidelined.

It can be said that if the aristocratic families were to take direct action now, the imperial court would have no power to stop them.

At this moment, the turmoil in Zhou Ping's heart became more and more serious.

At this moment, they finally understood why King Zhenbei wanted to spend all his wealth to host this buffet.

Because once Zhou Zheng's identity is exposed, he will die in the northern border.

And at that time, everything fell into place.

The aristocratic families will put all the sins on the King of Zhenbei, and they have found the perfect person to take the blame.

"What a cruel method!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole.

He naturally knew the importance of this matter.

"Since the noble families are so powerful, why don't they take action now?!"

"If the imperial court is really under control, even if the Northern Territory loses contact with the imperial court, we cannot be completely unaware of the situation."

Zhou Ping's mind was quite flexible and he quickly figured out the most incomprehensible part.

"There are only two reasons for this."

Xiao Mu was not too optimistic and just shook his head.

"First, they didn't find your Majesty, and they don't even know where your Majesty is now."

Since the aristocratic families were able to infiltrate the northern border and even undermine the King of Zhenbei, there must be many spies in the court.

Even though Mu Yun and Gong Tan were loyal, from some details, the aristocratic families must have known that Zhou Zheng was not in the court.

They couldn't act rashly without finding Zhou Zheng.

Because over the years, who in the world doesn’t know Zhou Zheng’s abilities and methods?

Zhou Zheng alone can defeat ten thousand cavalry!

Therefore, only when they find Zhou Zheng and identify his whereabouts will they act without hesitation.

This is also the reason why the northern border should be cleared in advance.

Silently and without alerting the enemy.

Just wait for Zhou Zheng to show up and then take action.

"Second, the arsenal."

When he said this, a glimmer of light finally appeared in Xiao Mu's eyes.

The arsenal is the Great Zhou’s biggest weapon and trump card.

It is also Zhou Zheng’s magic weapon that enables him to win every battle.

"The arsenal was originally built by your majesty. Even I don't know the details of it."

"Those aristocratic families are also quite worried."

“More ambition, of course.”

"They not only want to replace your majesty, but also want to take the arsenal for themselves."

Hoo ho ho! ! !

Everyone suddenly realized.

As for the arms in the world, except for the far west, Zhou Zheng is the only one who has the ability to obtain them.

Unfortunately, negotiating with the Far West is undoubtedly courting disaster.

If we could get Zhou Zheng’s arsenal, the situation would be different.

These aristocratic families really have a good plan.

However, Zhou Zheng felt vaguely uneasy.

"Hu Fei seemed to have said something about the armory. Have you forgotten it?"

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes gently and slowly said this key sentence.

This sentence made Zhou Ping and others' expressions suddenly change.

They thought of a possibility that the arsenal might no longer be under the control of the imperial court.

In other words, the arsenal was also secretly eroded.

If that happens, I'm afraid they really have no chance of winning.

damn it!

Zhou Ping clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and spoke fiercely.

I didn't expect that after only being secretly in the capital for a few months, there would be such a big change.

"Boss, what should we do?"

Zhou Ping was a little flustered.
