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

Three days!

Kyoto, the Imperial Palace, and the Court!

The palace at this time no longer looked like it did before.

Countless unfamiliar faces became the Royal Guards.

These are the diehard fans of the major aristocratic families. With them around, the palace is completely under their control.

And today, all officials stood in the court.

These officials were all trained by aristocratic families, and some of them were even officials who had been demoted by Zhou Zheng.

At this time, their faces were rosy and they looked very proud.

However, the biggest change in the court was that an old man slowly sat down on the dragon throne.

This old man was none other than the Great Zhou Emperor, also Emperor Tianjing!

Emperor Tianjing at this moment was no longer the same as before.

He was wrapped in a ferocious golden dragon robe.

Although he is nearly sixty years old, he now looks like a middle-aged man, with sharp eyebrows and vigorous energy.

This is Emperor Tianjing, who once shocked the Great Zhou and was even quite famous within the Three Kingdoms!

Sitting on the dragon throne again, feeling the pleasure of power that made the blood in his body boil, Emperor Tianjing couldn't help but want to raise his head and let out a long roar.

Once, he thought he might really have lost the throne.

But now, he seemed to have taken back what belonged to him.

The familiar palace, the familiar court meetings, the familiar officials!

This is the place that Emperor Tianjing should own, and this is the place where Emperor Tianjing rules the world.

“This feeling is finally back.”

Taking a deep breath, the domineering aura of the Dragon King from Emperor Tianjing swept out again.

Although he hadn't sat on the dragon throne for several years, he is still very adept at it.

His eyes swept across the officials below. Many of the faces were quite unfamiliar to him, and he had never seen them before.

But at the same time, those officials who used to follow Zhou Zheng and whom he hated the most did not appear here.

In other words, here, at least, they are not enemies.

Feeling the gaze of Emperor Tianjing sweeping over everyone, many officials' expressions changed slightly, and then they quickly knelt down and shouted "Long live Emperor Tianjing!"

If someone takes the lead, other officials will naturally follow suit.

For a moment, everyone in the court shouted "Long live the emperor".

It seemed that the person in front of him was no longer the emperor emeritus, but still the emperor of the Great Zhou!

The smell of the pinnacle of power echoing in his ears made Emperor Tianjing feel a sense of satisfaction coming from his bones.

That's it!

This is the life Zhou Tian should have!

"All my beloved lords, stay safe!"

The old voice, like a huge bell, sounded again.

And these officials were quite obedient.

After all, these officials all represented aristocratic families, and they naturally knew that Emperor Tianjing and Zhou Zheng were incompatible.

Those who kneel before Emperor Tian Jing are people on the same front.

Moreover, everyone is smart and has long known that the ancient aristocratic families have chosen Emperor Tianjing, which means that Emperor Tianjing will still be the person in charge of the Great Zhou and the emperor of the Great Zhou in the future.

Although it is not legally possible now, the final result is obviously inevitable.

The day Zhou Zheng is found will be the day when Emperor Tianjing truly regains his status.

They were just kneeling down to worship their emperor in advance.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the northern border!"

The newly appointed Minister of War, with a fawning look on his face, hastened to report the news from the northern border.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianjing also took a deep breath. It was obvious that he knew the importance of the northern border.

Now, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

But this wind needs to be strong enough!

Over the years, Emperor Tianjing has been thinking about regaining his position all the time, but the closer he gets, the more cautious he becomes, and the more he knows that some things cannot be rushed.

The northern border is the finishing touch, the crucial step!

"speak!"

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Emperor Tianjing pointed at the Minister of War and ordered him to tell him the news of the northern border.

"Return to your majesty!"

"In the North, everything is under control."

"The King of Zhenbei was defeated, and all his 10,000 loyal followers were killed!"

"The entire Xiao family was burned to ashes by a huge fire."

When the Minister of War told the news, he was extremely excited.

One of the people they were most worried about was Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu's death meant that the court's biggest fear was gone.

If it were any other time, perhaps no one would believe that Xiao Mu was dead, but the officials present knew too well that they had waited for this step for a long time.

They spent countless efforts to replace the people around Xiao Mu.

They even used the power of the ancient aristocratic families to instigate all the main generals in the northern border to rebel.

In other words, Xiao Mu has long been isolated in the entire northern border.

Therefore, it was only natural that he was defeated and died in the end.

"A big fire, has it burned everything clean?!"

Emperor Tianjing still seemed a little unconvinced.

As he muttered to himself, his pupils kept fluctuating.

Xiao Mu's methods and abilities are too powerful.

What he wants is to see the person alive or the body dead!

Otherwise, Emperor Tianjing would not easily believe that Xiao Mu was dead.

"Your Majesty, this is the token found in the fire."

The Minister of War held a token in both hands. The token was pitch black in color, as if it was forged from black iron.

There are only lines on it, and a simple word "Xiao"!

But when he saw the token, Emperor Tianjing's pupils shrank slightly, and then he exhaled a breath of foul air from his chest.

Because he was very sure that the token in front of him was Xiao Mu's favorite token.

It is said that a meteorite fell and left behind black iron.

Xiao Mu believed that this was a disaster destined for him.

He ordered people to temper the black iron into a token, which he kept with him from then on.

He once said that the token would only leave his body when he died.

I didn't expect to see you here today.

Emperor Tianjing knew Xiao Mu's character very well. He would rather die than surrender.

I will never throw away the token just to survive.

Because this token represents his will!

At this moment, Emperor Tianjing finally began to believe that Xiao Mu was dead.

"Your Majesty, I have brought back another person."

The Minister of War, sensing the change in Emperor Tianjing's mood, hurriedly continued to take credit.

After all, in this secular world, the emperor is still the supreme being.

Now that you can get the recognition and appreciation of Emperor Tianjing, you will be able to rise to the top in the future!

"Say!"

Emperor Tianjing nodded.

Then the Minister of War clapped his hands and a guard slowly walked in from outside the hall.

The appearance of the guards made the ministers frown, and even Emperor Tianjing was a little confused about what would happen next.

But then, the sounds of babies crying spread throughout the hall.

original!

In the guard's arms, was a tiny baby!
