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

Great Zhou, the court!

His Majesty is not in the palace, but the news has already spread throughout the palace.

Although the news has not spread among the people yet, all the ministers already know about it at this time.

For a time, the court was in chaos.

Even if Gong Tan and Mu Yun tried their best, the hearts of the court officials were already in confusion.

"Prime Minister, where is His Majesty?!"

"The current situation is already quite serious. Does Your Majesty really not care about this country?!"

A minister stood up and attacked Mu Yun.

Seeing this, other ministers followed suit.

Looking at these court officials who usually respected Zhou Zheng very much, and saw their current appearance, Mu Yun and Gong Tan both had disappointment in their eyes.

Everything was just as Zhou Zheng had expected. Among these ministers, few were truly concerned about the country, and even fewer were truly on Zhou Zheng's side.

Now, I just haven’t seen Zhou Zheng.

What will their faces look like if Zhou Zheng abdicates? !

"My Lords, please be patient. His Majesty will surely come back."

"Everything in the court is progressing in an orderly manner. You don't have to worry for the time being."

Finally, Mu Yun stood up. He glanced at the ministers and then spoke slowly.

His voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the hall.

For a moment, the voices of the ministers were suppressed.

It has to be said that most of the court officials here are able to stand here because of Mu Yun’s relationship. Many of them are even Mu Yun’s disciples, so naturally they have to give him face.

However, this situation did not last long, and noisy sounds were heard again.

What country can't be without a king for a day!

What do you mean, Your Majesty, you are going to abandon the world?

"Prime Minister, if everything remains the same?"

"Then may I ask, how are officials in the world selected now?!"

"Do you really think those Confucian scholars can solve everything?!"

"There is a severe drought in the north, the land is barren for thousands of miles, and there is no harvest! Starving people are everywhere, and there are countless corpses!"

"The Wei River burst its banks, flooding raged, and the victims were displaced and had to compete with stray dogs for food. There was widespread grief!"

"Snow fell in June, frost fell in July, strange phenomena occurred frequently, and people were in a panic!"

"May I ask Prime Minister, how can these be solved?!"

"Can those Confucian scholars solve it? Little do they know that the people of the world are about to revolt, countless unjust cases have already occurred, and many contradictions cannot be resolved!"

Low growls came from the mouths of court officials.

Mu Yun was also shocked by these.

He naturally knew the key information hidden in it.

These things did happen in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they were far from being so serious.

However, the court is now gradually out of control, even Mu Yun and Gong Tan cannot control it, so naturally they cannot verify the news.

So, these officials can say whatever they want.

Looking at the faces of these people, Mu Yun fell into a rare state of silence.

He just memorized the names of these people in his mind.

Mu Yun knew that when Zhou Zheng came back, none of these people would let go!

"My Lords, what do you mean!?"

Gong Tan's face was extremely gloomy. Even though she knew that these people would make trouble, she couldn't help but feel angry when she saw how they treated Zhou Zheng.

"What's the meaning!?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't come out, the world will really be destroyed!"

The ministers did not dare to look Gong Tan in the eye.

After all, Mu Yun is the prime minister, and he has been very particular about etiquette over the years and will not act recklessly.

But Gong Tan, although a woman, was very powerful and capable, and was well known for her protection of Zhou Zheng. If Gong Tan was really angered, no one knew what she would do.

After all, Gong Tan doesn't care about etiquette or laws!

"As long as all the adults work together, the world will not be destroyed!"

"As long as you all work hard for the court, the Great Zhou will not perish!"

"What I'm afraid of is that you gentlemen have ulterior motives!"

Gong Tan snorted coldly, making everyone feel a chill spreading from the soles of their feet.

"Although I am a woman, I still want to obey you all."

"If anyone dares to have disrespectful thoughts or actions towards Your Majesty, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

When Gong Tan said this, everyone looked horrified!

They knew very well that Gong Tan still controlled a powerful force.

If they really start fighting, it will be enough to turn Kyoto into a river of blood!

They dare not provoke such a woman easily.

Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gong Tan shocking everyone.

After all, in Mu Yun's view, Gong Tan was not threatening the officials, but giving them an opportunity.

Taking advantage of the emperor's absence, they dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous. With Zhou Zheng's personality, he will not tolerate them.

But there were some things that Mu Yun knew he couldn't say.

Even if we say it, these people won't change much.

Because between the aristocratic families and the imperial court, it was impossible and they had no chance to remain neutral.

Moreover, from the information Mu Yun obtained, most of these court officials were from aristocratic families.

When Zhou Zheng was around and had not yet completely broken off relations with the aristocratic families, he could naturally suppress them easily.

But now that they are not here, Mu Yun finds it difficult to suppress them.

The most important thing is that they all believe that the aristocratic families cannot be defeated!

As long as there are such thoughts, there will be no peace in the court.

"Then may I ask, the situation is already quite serious now, what should we do?!"

Some officials refused to give up and still dared to ask.

"It is reported that all the noble families will meet tomorrow!"

"What shall we do if His Majesty is not here by then?!"

These words echoed in the lobby.

The ministers were afraid of silence!

They all turned their eyes to Mu Yun.

"Humph, the noble families can just meet each other, what does it have to do with my court?!"

"But if the noble families dare to harm the court, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"

Mu Yun snorted coldly, which was considered as an answer to the question.

However, the officials present were obviously not satisfied with this answer.

They are old and experienced, and they know very well that this sentence actually means nothing.

That's dragging!

But, can it be delayed any longer? !

After the noble families meet tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happens, someone from the noble family will come to the court!

Who will answer then?!

Is it Gong Tan or Mu Yun! ?

But can their promises be counted? !

What if it doesn’t count?

This is a dilemma!

A dilemma that can only be solved by forcing Zhou Zheng to step forward!

"there is always a solution to a problem!"

"How could my great imperial court be afraid?!"

Mu Yun's pupils moved and his eyes flickered.

Is this day finally coming?!
