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

Chapter 1427: Are you not afraid of these 3 points?

Submit a pledge of allegiance and surrender to the imperial court?

Hearing the words of the Minister of War, King Zhenbei was stunned, and then the murderous intent in his heart roared out.

He was the dignified King of Zhenbei, and he had fought for the Great Zhou across the world, fought countless life-and-death battles, and he didn't even blink when a knife was placed on his neck.

Now, he actually asked me to surrender? Surrender!?

It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!

If I really do this, my reputation will be ruined!

If this is true, there is no place for me in this world!

There are countless people who are afraid of death, but he, Xiao Mu, is never among them.

Seeing Xiao Mu frowning and silent, the Minister of War's smile bloomed a little.

In his opinion, this was Xiao Mu weighing the pros and cons.

"King Zhenbei, you have no choice!"

"The current imperial court cannot be shaken by your mere Zhenbei Army!"

"The emperor has stopped attending court a long time ago, and the entire Great Zhou is destined to be purged again. At this time, the only way for you to survive is to make a conscious choice."

The Minister of War cleared his throat, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, with a sense of certainty of victory.

No one knows why the long-dead King Zhenbei is still alive.

No one knows why the entire Zhenbei Army is still under the control of King Zhenbei.

But there was one thing that the Vice Minister of War was very clear about, and that was that the northern border was out of control, or at least it was not under the control of the imperial court.

The northern border is the barrier of the Great Zhou. Once it is lost, the capital of the Great Zhou will face the risk of a direct invasion from the Great Xia.

Therefore, the imperial court has always valued the northern border.

As long as he can convince the King of Zhenbei and bring the Zhenbei Army back into the hands of the imperial court, his contribution will be so great that he can be crowned king and appointed prime minister in a matter of seconds!

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became.

However, the Minister of War seemed to be worried that his leverage was not enough.

After all, the 100,000 elite troops in front of them were nothing more than some strong guerrillas.

This is simply not enough to face the Zhenbei Army.

"King Zhenbei, you have no choice."

"The Zhenbei Army was indeed the most powerful force in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now it is no longer the case."

The Minister of War took a deep breath and his expression became serious again.

This kind of seriousness is by no means pretentious, but he himself knows exactly what he is saying.

"Oh?"

"I would like to hear what power the imperial court has now!"

Prince Zhenbei glanced at Zhou Zheng and the others, then pretended to be calm and looked at the Minister of War again and asked softly.

The reason why he kept the Minister of War alive until now was not because he was prepared to surrender, but because he wanted to know more information.

The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War in front of them is the fastest way for them to understand the court.

The information obtained by letting him speak out voluntarily is more reliable than that obtained by forcing and killing him.

As expected, such inquiries further confirmed the deepest conviction of the Assistant Minister of War.

This King of Zhenbei really has some other ideas.

From ancient times to the present, the world is bustling with people all for the sake of profit. It is even more difficult to be in a hustle and bustle with people all for the sake of profit.

Good birds choose trees to roost in!

The Minister of War understood this principle, so how could the King of Zhenbei not understand it? !

However, if one wants to persuade King Zhenbei, ordinary coercion and inducement will not work. One can only put enough pressure on him at the critical moment.

And now, in the eyes of the Vice Minister of War, it is an absolutely critical moment.

"The imperial court has three methods that your Zhenbei Army cannot resist!"

He took a deep breath and the Minister of War's expression became serious again.

His pupils moved slightly and his voice became firmer.

"First, the imperial court controls all officials and the hearts of the people."

"You, the King of Zhenbei, and the Zhenbei Army have long been regarded as rebels in the hearts of the people."

"You are certainly strong, but are you stronger than fighting against everyone in the world?"

With a flick of his sleeves, the corner of the Minister of War's mouth rose, and this sentence really made the King of Zhenbei look gloomy.

Even Zhou Zheng and Zhou Ping and others behind him felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Today, the imperial court is in power and has already controlled the world.

There are so many rumors in the world, and people blindly follow the trend. How many people can know the truth? !

When a lie is prevalent enough, the truth becomes a lie.

At that time, even if Zhou Zheng stood on the street and waved his arms, how many people would believe him? !

Because, by that time, perhaps they no longer believe that Zhou Zheng is still alive in this world.

There was even a point where I thought that Zhou Zheng was fake and an imposter!

When they thought of this, they all broke out in cold sweat.

In this world, what is truly terrifying is never the battle between life and death, but the inability to distinguish between reality and falsehood.

Seeing Xiao Mu stunned and a little distracted, the Assistant Minister of War was overjoyed.

This is the effect he wants.

"Second point, do you know that when Zhou Zheng conquered the world, his most powerful strength was not his ability or his army, but his gunpowder storage?"

The Assistant Minister of War took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy.

But this time, he did not use the honorific title of Your Majesty, but called Zhou Zheng by his name.

A mere assistant minister of the Ministry of War dares to be so disobedient. I am afraid that all the ministers in the court are like this.

In their eyes, they may have already forgotten Zhou Zheng's existence.

The one they are following wholeheartedly is Emperor Tianjing!

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts sank slightly, and then their expressions kept changing. It seemed that the power controlled by the court was even stronger than they imagined.

"Gunpowder magazine?"

This is what Xiao Mu cares more about.

When he said these three words, his voice trembled a little.

"That's right!"

"Zhou Zheng once conquered the world with just a powder keg."

"But you know, the gunpowder depot has long been under the control of the imperial court!"

The assistant minister of the Ministry of War laughed arrogantly.

Holding gunpowder means holding the truth!

Looking around the world, who has the ability and qualifications to compete with the imperial court? !

The brave army of Zhenbei!

so what? !

In the face of truth, everyone is equal and must die!
