"My Lord, how do we deal with these three?"

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was already quite solemn.

Although King Yong of Zhou seemed harmless, he was born into an imperial family and had lived through three dynasties. His methods and abilities were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In just a few words, he got the information he wanted from the so-called imperial envoy.

Emperor Tianjing regained control of the court, and almost all the power of the Great Zhou was back in the hands of Emperor Tianjing.

This news made King Zhou Yong and the officials present look gloomy, and a hint of horror flashed in their pupils.

Who could have imagined that in just a few months, such a huge change would occur in the Zhou Dynasty court.

What they didn't expect was that Zhou Zheng disappeared, and Mu Yun and Gong Tan were captured alive.

The aristocratic families, tied to Emperor Tianjing, want to use this opportunity to completely overthrow Zhou Zheng.

Each and every one of them is a big deal!

Before King Yong of Zhou had time to digest the news, the urging of the officials below brought him back to his senses.

"Lock them up now."

"Remember, you must not let them die."

With a frown on his face, King Zhou Yong made the decision after a long time.

However, this decision made everyone present feel a little surprised, and some even turned their heads and looked at King Zhou Yong in disbelief.

"My Lord, won't you kill them?"

While gritting their teeth, some officials looked puzzled.

Everyone knows that King Zhou Yong is definitely a follower of Zhou Zheng's faction.

The imperial court must have had some ulterior motive in allowing King Yong of Zhou to come to the capital to defend the emperor and concealing the news that Emperor Tianjing had returned to power.

If nothing unexpected happens, the imperial court wants to use the name of King Zhou Yong's support for the king to completely imprison King Zhou Yong, or even execute him.

Since the court did not give King Zhou Yong a chance, why did King Zhou Yong want to keep this imperial envoy at this time? !

Could it be that he has other ideas?!

"Will killing these imperial envoys give the imperial court a chance to send troops to attack us?!"

King Zhou Yong sneered, his eyes narrowed into slits, and a chill began to spread.

After years of ups and downs, he already knew Emperor Tianjing's character well.

Although he ascended the throne again, he blocked all news.

The reason for this is not that Emperor Tianjing does not want to return to the throne, but because Emperor Tianjing wants a legitimate excuse.

Similarly, in order to get rid of King Yong of Zhou, Emperor Tianjing also needed a plausible excuse.

However, I have to say that for such people, life is really depressing and miserable.

As a man, born between heaven and earth, why should you be so timid? ?

Want both! ?

It's really disdainful.

"What does the prince mean?!"

Some officials seemed to have not yet figured out what King Yong of Zhou meant.

"If you go to the capital to defend the emperor, you will most likely be accused of treason."

"Killing the imperial envoy is the same crime as treason, punishable by death!"

King Zhou Yong picked up the teacup and murmured softly, with a hint of coldness in his words.

This was a trap. The fact that Emperor Tianjing did not send the truly important officials from the court but instead sent three vice ministers here was enough to explain everything.

No matter what decision King Zhou Yong made, the court had no intention of letting them live.

The only way is to keep the imperial envoys alive and temporarily deny the court the opportunity to take action.

"But even so, if the imperial court really wants to take action, what should we do?"

Some people are still worried.

King Zhou Yong frowned, he slowly raised his head, and there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

The reason why he didn't move now was that everyone in the world knew that he was from Zhou Zheng's faction and knew that he would definitely not sit still, but King Zhou Yong knew that he absolutely could not move now.

The world situation is unclear.

Most importantly, Zhou Zheng’s whereabouts are unknown.

Where is Zhou Zheng!?

What is the situation in the North?!

What other plans and backup plans does the court have?!

King Yong of Zhou was completely unaware of all this.

But there is one thing Zhou Yong knows better than anyone else, that is, he has a secret letter that Zhou Zheng left for him a long time ago.

At the beginning, Zhou Zheng let King Zhou Yong take over King Mu's fiefdom, not only to stabilize this fiefdom, but also to allow him to train new troops here, away from the attention of the world.

Deep in the mountains, there are 50,000 new troops!

They are extremely powerful and are all equipped with muskets.

As long as he has this new army in his hands, Zhou Zheng will always have the opportunity and confidence to turn things around!

These 50,000 elite new troops will only be mobilized at the most critical moment.

But until now, with such drastic changes in the imperial court, Zhou Zheng has not contacted Zhou Yong to mobilize the new army.

All of this is too weird.

With Zhou Zheng's ability and means, there is only one possibility, that is, the current changes in the court are also under Zhou Zheng's control. He is not panicked at all, and even has some confidence in winning.

Otherwise, Zhou Yong would have received Zhou Zheng's secret letter long ago.

Of course, King Zhou Yong would not say all this.

Instead, he glanced at everyone present, and King Zhou Yong felt a little uneasy.

These are all my confidants, but can they really be considered confidants?

Are there spies from the aristocratic families among them? !

"If the imperial court really wants to attack us, we will just fight back against them."

"Everyone, you are all my confidants who have followed me for many years."

"Everyone should understand that no egg will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned."

After a brief pause, King Zhou Yong took a deep breath, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"You all know the relationship between this prince and Emperor Tianjing."

"Once you lose power, I'm afraid the result will be death."

"But this has nothing to do with you. If any of you have any ideas now, you can leave at will."

"I will leave a way out for you."

King Zhou Yong sighed lightly, then stood up and left slowly.

A group of officials were left staring at each other.

Their eyes rolled around, their expressions varied and their faces complicated.

But strange thoughts arose in everyone's mind.

......

The Great Zhou Palace!

"Your Majesty, there is news from King Yong."

A eunuch knelt respectfully before Emperor Tianjing.

"Prince Yong entertained the imperial envoy and brought a message. He is now organizing his troops and will return to the capital with the imperial envoy to serve the king."

There was some excitement in the eunuch's words.

But Emperor Tianjing's expression darkened slightly, and a cold light flashed in his pupils.

"When will Prince Yong come to the capital to defend the emperor?!"

He had obviously noticed something was wrong.

After all, if he really returned to the capital to serve the king, why would he need an imperial envoy to accompany him?

"King Yong did not mention this, he just said it would be as soon as possible."

The eunuch's reply made Emperor Tianjing's eyes flash with coldness.

"This little trick is useless in front of me."

"You want to delay time, you want to stay out of it!? How naive..."

"Let's activate the hidden line over there."

"I want to know what is going on with the current Yong King."

Emperor Tianjing raised his head slightly, but quickly made a decision.

Obviously, in his opinion, King Yong of Zhou was not a threat worthy of his real attention.
