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

Chapter 1401: Do Whatever You Want for Yourself

Three days passed quietly.

Deep in the imperial palace, in Emperor Tianjing’s courtyard.

At this time, the old figure appeared again.

This time, there was a hint of respect and expectation on Emperor Tianjing's face.

He knew that this was one of the leaders of the five ancient aristocratic families, and he also knew that this was the person with the best chance of regaining the throne.

Therefore, this time, no matter what the cost, he must take back everything that once belonged to him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianjing took a deep breath, bowed to the old man and showed more respect.

The old man was obviously quite satisfied with Emperor Tianjing's attitude.

He nodded slightly, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, but a hint of contempt also appeared in the center of his deep eyes.

This is the emperor who is so high and mighty in the secular world? !

This is the supreme being that was once admired by countless people? !

Now it seems that he is only slightly stronger than an ant.

"Have you ever thought it through?"

Finally, the old man spoke.

His voice was very calm, even cold, but his words gave people a sense of unquestionable certainty.

This doesn't seem like a discussion, but more like a feeling of contempt looking down on everything from a high position.

However, Emperor Tianjing did not think there was anything wrong.

Because he was very clear about the power of the five ancient families, and he was even more clear that what he needed now was the support of the five ancient families.

As long as he can get the support of the five ancient families, he can get back everything he wants.

"nature!"

Slowly raising his head, a flattering smile appeared on Emperor Tianjing's face.

If the world were to see him in this state, where would he still have the spirit of an emperor, and where would he still have the arrogance and dominance to dominate the world?

Unfortunately, Emperor Tianjing didn't care.

"Tell me about your sincerity."

The old man nodded, with satisfaction in his eyes.

At present, the most suitable person to make decisions in the Great Zhou is still Emperor Tianjing.

After all, changing dynasties is not impossible, but the five ancient families will also have to pay some price.

In the new court, everything has to start from scratch, which is quite troublesome.

The most important thing is that the emergence of a new dynasty is not the best choice for the five ancient families.

On the contrary, it was Emperor Tianjing who was able to make the transition of power as smooth as possible.

At the same time, the five ancient families are quite satisfied with Emperor Tianjing’s current attitude.

Having such a puppet to help them manage the world seems to be a good choice.

After all, the five ancient families would not become the emperor themselves.

On the one hand, once you become an emperor, you will face the risk of dynasty change.

On the other hand, they also seem to disdain the emperors of the secular world.

"My sincerity is known by the sun and the moon!"

Emperor Tianjing responded with a smile.

Afterwards, Emperor Tianjing handed the old man a piece of letter paper that he had prepared long ago.

This piece of letter paper may look ordinary, but every word on it was written by Emperor Tianjing himself.

During these three days, he had been almost sleepless and racking his brains, just to show his sincerity and make a real impact on the ancient family.

Emperor Tianjing knew too well the value of the ancient family.

The so-called titles of nobility and appointments as prime ministers, the so-called rewards of silver and gold, are completely useless.

Getting promoted and getting rich have never been what the ancient noble families pursued.

Therefore, this sincerity naturally cannot be expressed with ordinary things in the secular world.

The old man who took the letter had calm eyes at first, but as the contents on the letter unfolded one by one, even though he had made some mental preparations, he couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.

Because Emperor Tianjing's sincerity was indeed too sincere.

Even the five great ancient families could not truly refuse such sincerity!

The content of the entire letter is not much. To sum up, there are only three core points.

the first!

The Great Zhou restored all previous policies and abolished all of Zhou Zheng’s propositions!

The old man was not surprised by this.

After all, the five great ancient families represent the interests of the aristocratic families.

All of Zhou Zheng's methods and practices are contrary to those of the aristocratic families, so abolishing the new policy and maintaining the old policy is the first thing they must do.

second!

Zhou Zheng and his followers were all handed over to the aristocratic families for handling. The imperial court did not interfere at all!

If he is really an emperor, he can ignore everything for the sake of power.

This undoubtedly means that Emperor Tianjing has given up on Zhou Zheng.

You know, when the power struggle took place, most of the princes had already died, and there was no one who could replace Zhou Zheng.

But in the eyes of Emperor Tianjing, he had no feelings for Zhou Zheng, only endless murderous intent.

Of course, this was not what really shocked and surprised the old man.

Because these two points are their bottom line and what they must do.

third!

The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty pays 20% of the national finances to the five ancient aristocratic families every year!

The deadline is one hundred years!

A whole hundred years!

When he saw this, the old man's body trembled slightly.

One imperial court, twenty percent of fiscal revenue!

What a crazy move!

Not to mention a hundred years, even ten years would be an astronomical figure.

The five great ancient families were naturally rich, but faced with such temptation, they still couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Emperor Tianjing really invested a lot of money.

A period of one hundred years, 20% every year!

I'm afraid no emperor can make such a decision.

When he saw this, the old man paused for a moment, slowly raised his head, and set his eyes on Emperor Tianjing.

They looked at each other, neither of them spoke.

Emperor Tianjing's eyes didn't even flicker.

For the emperor, he can sacrifice everything!

Twenty percent, so what?!

At worst, the world will live a tight life, and the court officials will live a tight life, but his life, Emperor Tianjing, will not be affected at all, and the life of the entire royal family will not be affected at all.

In the end, it is the common people who suffer.

The imperial court has no money, so the worst that can happen is that they won’t provide disaster relief!

The court has no money, so at worst, it won’t rescue the people!

The imperial court has no money, so at worst, it will just ignore people’s livelihood!

Once upon a time, Emperor Tianjing still had a little concern for the people of the world. After all, it was for the sake of leaving his name forever.

But now, Emperor Tianjing has no good feelings towards the people of the world.

He wished he could trample these untouchables under his feet.

He clearly remembered that Zhou Zheng was supported and loved by countless people all over the world.

He clearly remembered that when he was driven off the throne, people all over the world sang and danced!

Since these people don't have him as their emperor in their hearts, Emperor Tianjing naturally won't care about their life or death!

Even if they were all dead, so what?!

Emperor Tianjing now has only one thought.

In this life, he will live only for himself for the remaining light years.

What are the common people, what are the teachings for future generations, and what are the records of historians!

He doesn't care at all!

If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!

Thinking about how he had been almost imprisoned for the past two years, the murderous intent in his heart surged up again!
