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

The Zhou Dynasty pays attention to what is right and what is right!

If the name is not right, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, the things will not happen!

During their reign, all the dynasties of the past dynasties, without exception, vigorously promoted that they inherited the destiny of heaven to govern the people, that they were kings on earth, and that they were supreme in the world.

If the princes want to completely eliminate the unfair way to get the throne, the only way is for Zhou Zheng to die!

Otherwise, as long as Zhou Zheng is alive, they will never feel at ease!

Zhou Zheng's words made Xiao Mu, who had fought countless battlefields, freeze on the spot.

His pupils kept shrinking to the size of pinholes, and he stared straight at Zhou Zheng without saying a word for a long time.

At this moment, Xiao Mu felt that Zhou Zheng was not only different and calm, but also saw Zhou Zheng's palace and ambition!

He doesn't want to be ordinary, he doesn't want to accept his fate, and he doesn't want to leave his life and death in the hands of others.

But, so what?

"You can't fight."

After a long time, Xiao Mu slowly spoke.

Zhou Zheng has no favor from the emperor!

Hundreds of officials followed, but Zhou Zheng did not!

Zhou Zheng has no literary and military skills!

He has made great achievements and won the hearts of the people, but Zhou Zheng did not!

Except for Mu Yun, who stood by Zhou Zheng's side at all costs, Zhou Zheng had almost no resources at his disposal.

How could the battle for the throne and the succession be so simple and easy! ?

Even if the current Holy Emperor had received the approval of hundreds of officials and the approval of the late Emperor twenty years ago, if it had not been for the support of the Xiao family in the end, it would have been difficult for him to sit on the throne!

The imperial road, the throne of great power, is full of thorns and bloodshed!

"So what if we can't fight?"

"Zheng'er has no choice!"

"If you don't fight, you're heading into an abyss and you're bound to die!"

"Fight, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!"

"My life is not precious, and it even has a bad fate."

"But not everyone can trample and ravage at will!"

"Maybe I can't do it. I can't control my destiny, but I can't control it. But at least I can't control my life, and I can't control it by others!"

"I, Zhou Zheng, walk my own path!"

"Whether it's life or death, or hardship, I, Zhou Zheng, will never regret it!"

Raising his head and roaring, Zhou Zheng's eyes were bloodshot and red, and he clenched his teeth under his gums. Every word seemed to be mixed with thousands of kilograms of power, hitting Xiao Mu's heart hard!

Xiao Mu saw blood in Zhou Zheng for the first time!

That kind of bloody spirit that is unabashed and never looks back until you hit the wall!

Even for a moment, Xiao Mu felt a little shaken in his heart.

"Grandpa!"

His voice was a little hoarse. Zhou Zheng slowly opened the hem of his clothes, bent his knees, and knelt down on the spot!

Boom boom boom!

The sound of fierce kowtows suddenly echoed in the silent hall, hitting Xiao Mu's heart like thunder on a sunny day.

Zhou Zheng did not kneel to the emperor, but at this moment he kowtowed solemnly to Xiao Mu, completely shocking the generation of Zhenbei Hou!

"Please help me!"

boom!

After just three words, Xiao Mu's breathing became rapid, and the hands in his sleeves couldn't help but tremble slightly!

Zhou Zheng, are you begging him?

"Why?!"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, Xiao Mu had already anticipated Zhou Zheng's plan.

But he never thought that Zhou Zheng would dare to use such a direct method!

However, as a generational Marquis of Zhenbei, he had already shown his joy.

He stared at Zhou Zheng coldly with an indifferent expression, without any emotion.

This was almost a fight with no chance of winning. Even if Xiao tried his best, in Xiao Mu's opinion, there was almost no chance.

One careless move may even destroy the foundation that the Xiao family has worked hard for for hundreds of years.

It was dangerous, and as the leader of the Xiao clan, Xiao Mu had to consider it!

"If I were the emperor, I would conquer the country and fight!"

Zhou Zheng raised his head, his eyes flashed with cold light and blood surged!

And these eight words made Xiao Mu suffocate instantly!

He looked into the depths of Zhou Zheng's indifferent pupils, and for the first time a hint of madness flashed out!

The Great Zhou Dynasty stood tall among all the kingdoms, surrounded by wolves and faced with many crises!

There are endless wars at the border, people are in dire straits, and it is normal for families to be broken up and people to die.

But the imperial court's lack of military preparation and its lack of emphasis on border security was the key to Xiao Mu's inner unwillingness and struggle!

In the past hundred years, the imperial court has emphasized internal affairs over external affairs, and culture over military affairs. In the face of enemy invasion, it has long been a common practice to only defend but not attack.

The court's attitude led to domestic peace, but the blood of the border officers was spilled thousands of miles away!

The Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Yuan Dynasty on the Beiguan border even used invading the Great Zhou Dynasty as a way to train their troops, and they were extremely arrogant.

At present, he has led an army of 300,000. He wishes he could break through Beiguan, march forward with his troops, and annex the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Although Xiao resisted, Xiao Mu knew very well that this was not a long-term solution.

To truly ensure the long-term prosperity of Dazhou, the only way is to support war with war, rather than passive defense!

In this world, the best defense is offense!

It is a pity that the emperors of the past dynasties had no intention of fighting. They only wanted temporary peace and stability in the present.

Over the years, the influence of the Zhou Dynasty among the various countries has become lower and lower, and its sense of existence has become weaker and weaker. If things go on like this, it is only a matter of time before it is cannibalized and annexed.

The Xiao family was loyal to the Zhou Dynasty.

Xiao Mu wanted to change this situation, but unfortunately, there was nothing he could do!

He had analyzed the situation in the world with the late emperor and the current emperor, and tried to make the Zhou Dynasty take the initiative to go out to promote the country's prestige and strengthen the name of Zhou Dynasty!

But it was considered militaristic!

From then on, Xiao Mu's thoughts gradually disappeared.

National affairs cannot be reversed by his own efforts.

And Zhou Zheng's main battle of eight characters once again made Xiao Mu's heart burn with a trace of fire!

A battle that will overwhelm the country!

It made Xiao Mu's blood boil even more!

Such courage, such courage, and such skill have never been seen since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty. !

"You brat..." Xiao Mu's chapped lips trembled a little, and there was a hint of moisture in his eyes.

"Is this true!?"

"I, Zhou Zheng, may die or have my bones broken, but I will never break my promise and gain weight!"

Zhou Zheng spoke loudly and nodded solemnly!

Xiao Mu closed his eyes slightly, then raised his eyes to stare at Zhou Zheng again.

He didn't speak, and Zhou Zheng was also silent.

The two looked at each other, causing the entire hall to fall into absolute silence again.

"it is good!"

"very good!"

"In that case, I will go crazy with you once and take a gamble!"

Finally, Xiao Mu said coldly and domineeringly.

After hearing these words, Zhou Zheng's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

He knew that Xiao Mu promised a thousand pieces of gold!

"In seven days, it will be your gift of a weak crown!"

"If you can survive the gift of a weak crown, Mrs. Xiao will spare no effort to help you ascend the throne!"

After leaving these words, Xiao Mu turned and left.

"Grandpa!"

"Zheng'er, you will definitely live up to your expectations!"

……

"If this child can grow up, I'm afraid he will surpass all previous emperors in the future!"

In Qingxin Lake, Xiao Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looked towards the sky, and said seriously.

"Is my father's opinion of Zheng'er too high?"

Xiao Guan's face was moved, and he couldn't help but exert a little force on the palms he placed on his already unconscious legs!

In all these years, he has never seen Xiao Mu evaluate a person like this.

"However, the gift of a weak crown may not go so smoothly."

His eyes fell on the slightly rippled lake, but Xiao Guan's face was filled with sadness.

"If he can't even solve the problem of the weak crown gift, then he has no right to ask me, Mrs. Xiao, to support him at all costs!"
