Prince’s Mansion, ceremony lobby.

King Yong of Zhou sat upright at the top, while both sides below were filled with swordsmen and axemen!

The entire meeting hall was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

As soon as the imperial envoys entered the meeting hall, their heartbeats quickened, their faces turned slightly pale, and even their bodies began to tremble slightly.

After looking around and looking at each other, they finally set their sights on King Zhou Yong.

However, the prince who was rumored to be submissive, not concerned with state affairs, and even a little aggrieved, now gave them a strong sense of oppression.

Even though he didn't say a word, there was a sense of majesty between his brows.

When they looked at each other, their deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, making them feel that all their secrets were seen through.

"I've met the prince!"

Trying hard to suppress the strangeness and panic in their hearts, several imperial envoys quickly saluted King Zhou Yong.

Although they all held important positions in the court and had the status of imperial envoys, they still did not dare to be negligent in front of King Zhou Yong.

You know, King Zhou Yong was the only prince who survived during the reign of Emperor Tianjing.

Some people say that he is as timid as a mouse and is not worthy of being promoted.

Some people say that he is greedy for pleasure and does nothing.

But so what? !

Royal relatives, brothers of Emperor Tianjing!

This point alone makes it impossible for court officials to compare with him.

Moreover, when Zhou Zheng ascended the throne, everyone in the world knew about Zhou Ping's achievements, and King Zhou Yong was Zhou Ping's father.

The value of the father's contribution to the emperor is self-evident.

Facing such a great god, how many people in the world dare not give him face! ?

"You all look very unfamiliar. How should I address you?"

King Yong of Zhou finally spoke.

But he looked at the imperial envoys kneeling on the ground and had no intention of asking them to stand up.

"Your Highness, we are all newly promoted officials of the court."

"I am Xue Chen, the Minister of Rites. These two are the Ministers of War and Works."

Xue Chen did not dare to hide anything or neglect it, and responded in one breath.

The three assistant ministers of the Ministry of War were officials of the third rank, and held important positions. Even in Kyoto, where dignitaries were everywhere, they were considered important figures.

The fact that three assistant ministers were dispatched at one time shows how much importance the court attached to this decree.

However, in the eyes of King Zhou Yong, such weight is still far from enough!

That’s right, it’s far from enough!

Not to mention that the current King Zhou Yong controls such a large fiefdom, even when he was just a free and easy prince with a name but no power, the imperial edict had to be delivered in person by the six ministers of ministries!

How are you now, three assistant ministers of the Ministry of War?

What a joke!

With a cold snort, Zheng Chen and others felt the change in King Zhou Yong's expression, and their hearts trembled slightly, but they did not dare to look up.

He could only hunch over and wait for King Zhou Yong's next words.

"Your Majesty, how are you these days?"

Finally, King Yong of Zhou spoke again.

"Your Majesty feels a little dry, but is generally fine."

"It's just that in the northern border, the King of Zhenbei has his own army and is now plotting rebellion without hiding his intention. The court is in danger."

"Your Majesty is having trouble sleeping and eating."

"I hope that Your Majesty will quickly raise troops to support the king."

Zheng Chen and others looked anxious at this time, and their tears could not stop falling.

He looked like a loyal minister.

Unfortunately, this seemingly affectionate look was nothing but an extremely poor performance in the eyes of King Zhou Yong.

King Yong of Zhou had met countless people in his life, so how could he not see that these were all rhetoric that had been arranged by the three men long ago?

"My character, Zhou Yong, is well known to everyone."

"Your Majesty granted me the opportunity to manage this place, but my ability is limited."

"Let alone raising an army to support the king, it is extremely difficult to gather 5,000 soldiers in the entire fiefdom."

"With such a small number of soldiers and generals, how can they help the imperial court out of its crisis?"

King Yong of Zhou sighed softly, then frowned, and his words were full of cowardice.

After hearing this, several imperial envoys showed a look of surprise on their faces.

They never expected that King Zhou Yong would shirk responsibility on this matter!

You know, they came all the way here just to make King Zhou Yong send troops as soon as possible.

If they delay too long, the three of them will inevitably be punished by the court.

As for the fact that there were no soldiers available, they simply did not believe it.

At that time, King Mu raised an army of 100,000, and his mighty force was known to everyone.

How long has it been since then, and there are no soldiers left in the fiefdom? !

Obviously, this was King Yong of Zhou's excuse.

But what they couldn't understand was that in this matter, shouldn't King Zhou Yong fight for the court regardless of everything? !

Why refuse?!

"Your Majesty, His Majesty can't wait any longer!"

Zheng Chen gritted his teeth, raised his head, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

He didn't know what King Zhou Yong was thinking, but now, even if it meant offending King Zhou Yong, he had to speak up.

After all, if they fail to complete the mission, one can imagine what will happen to them when they return.

"Is it?"

With a cold snort, King Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a huge feeling of oppression enveloped him.

This kind of oppression is like a tiger hunting birds, which makes people frightened and panic-stricken.

Such a scene finally brought Zheng Chen and others back to their senses.

King Zhou Yong is definitely not as simple as imagined.

He might be a real tiger!

It is a beast that has been dormant for a long time!

The imperial court may have underestimated King Zhou Yong's abilities and means.

Their eyes rolled around, and under the tremendous pressure, Zheng Chen and others broke out in cold sweats.

But in the end, after the three of them looked at each other, a sense of cruelty rose in their hearts.

"If the prince knew that the court was in trouble, but still stood by and watched..."

"The three of us are ashamed of our Majesty's trust, and we can only die to atone for our sins!"

Gritting their teeth, Zheng Chen and the other two raised their heads with determined expressions.

King Zhou Yong was surprised by these words.

"You guys, are threatening this king?"

His eyes narrowed into cracks, and his voice had a hint of coldness.

"How dare I!"

"It's just that the court is now in a critical moment of crisis and survival, and we can only rely on the prince."

"If we fail to complete the Holy Order this time, we will fail the trust of the Holy Emperor. The three of us will feel guilty towards the imperial court and the country of Great Zhou. We should die to atone for our sins!"

Zheng Chen and the other two no longer hesitated.

After they finished speaking, they straightened their bodies and looked determined.

This is not pretense or affectation, but they really have such intention.

Such a scene stunned the staff in the palace.

Obviously, this was something they had not expected.

I had originally intended to get some news about the imperial court from the mouths of these three people, but who could have thought that just a few words from these people would lead to this point.

But the more this happened, the stronger the contempt in King Zhou Yong's eyes became.

If he was just suspicious before, now King Zhou Yong can be 100% sure that the three people in front of him are imperial envoys from the court, and the imperial edict is also an imperial edict from the court!

However, the Majesty mentioned by these three people is no longer the same Majesty as before!
