Prince Zhou, Zhou Zheng!

Sima Cheng's words shocked the whole court!

If he hadn't been mentioned at this time, many courtiers would have even forgotten about His Highness the Crown Prince of Zhou Dynasty!

"The prince is on an envoy to Dayuan and has made a good marriage."

"In my opinion, if the marriage had not been successful, why would the Yuan Dynasty send troops rashly at this juncture?!"

Sima Cheng took a deep breath, looked serious, and spoke in a deep voice.

These words made many people fall into deep thought, because this was also the best explanation for Dayuan's reason for sending troops.

"His Royal Highness, you have a great trust, and you have fulfilled your mission this time. It is truly a blessing to the country!"

"If this is really the case, I hope your Majesty will give His Highness the Crown Prince a generous reward!"

Liu Fu raised his eyebrows and his face lit up with joy.

He immediately came out of the queue and bowed to Emperor Tianjing.

The people present were all smart people, and they could see Liu Fu's thoughts at a glance. The ministers from the eldest prince's camp, like Liu Fu, directly praised His Highness the Crown Prince.

Even the eldest prince, who had never spoken a word, was full of praise for Zhou Zheng.

After all, no matter what, the second prince cannot be allowed to take the major credit.

Only by blaming the biggest reason on Zhou Zheng can the performance of the courtiers in the second prince's camp be restricted.

You must know that no matter how great achievements Zhou Zheng has made, as long as the marriage is successful, he will not become the future prince of the Zhou Dynasty.

Since he is not the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, there is no threat to either the eldest prince or the second prince.

For the first time in eighteen years, the eldest prince felt that Zhou Zheng was so cute!

Hearing that the ministers headed by the eldest prince and Liu Fu began to change their tone, the expressions of the ministers in the second prince's camp also changed slightly.

But in the face of such reasons, everyone was powerless and unable to refute.

It was the idea of ​​the ministers, the princes, and the Holy Emperor to let Zhou Zheng go to the Yuan Dynasty for marriage.

Once someone speaks out against it at this time, it will not only be a slap in their own face, but also a slap in the face of the current saint!

"I didn't expect that this good-for-nothing prince would actually get married."

"I really don't know what the ministers and relatives of the Yuan Dynasty are thinking about?"

"What is the purpose of letting a noble princess marry a nominal prince who has no power and no future?"

"I can only say that this time it was a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and he got an advantage."

Many ministers expressed their concerns, but in the end they had nothing to do.

As for Emperor Tianjing, he was still sitting majestically above him, motionless.

Looking coldly at the changes in the situation below.

As an emperor, he naturally knows how to weigh forces. The more intense the overt and covert fights between these ministers and princes, the more the emperor's absolute authority can be guaranteed.

"Ministers, it seems that you quite approve of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Just when the court became quiet again, the sneer of the Third Prince Zhou Qiao, who had been silent, broke the atmosphere here.

When everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Qiao, their faces looked a little strange.

Since Concubine Shu's death, the third prince's influence in the court has become less and less. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Tianjing is gradually neglecting Zhou Qiao.

No one knew why, but no one cared.

Even those courtiers who had been with Zhou Qiao's camp had already secretly taken refuge with the most promising eldest prince and second prince, and were becoming increasingly alienated from Zhou Qiao.

Of course, Zhou Qiao is also an understanding person.

He turned a blind eye to the change in attitude of the courtiers who had followed him, so everyone got along fairly well.

But now Zhou Qiao's words surprised many people.

Zhou Qiao, who has kept a low profile, is singing this song again?

Is it possible that he also wants to take some credit for this great victory in the north?

"Your Highness, what do you mean?!"

Sima Cheng frowned slightly. He had never been afraid of powerful people, and he had already regarded Zhou Zheng as the person he would follow his whole life.

In addition, he was always dissatisfied with Zhou Qiao, so he immediately asked in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Sima Cheng, even if you belong to the prince, you can't just make up nonsense and confuse right and wrong just to take credit for the prince, right?"

Looking at Sima Cheng coldly, Zhou Qiao's words were full of contempt.

No matter whether he, Zhou Qiao, is as favored as before, he is still the prince after all!

His status is far beyond what a mere minister of the Ministry of War can compare with.

"Do you know what happened in Dayuan?"

"You're telling lies right here!"

Zhou Qiao ignored Sima Cheng directly, but everyone in the court understood the deep meaning of these words.

That's right, everything just now was just speculation.

Because that may be the reason that best explains Dayuan's sending troops.

But no one knows what the truth is!

Could it be possible that the third prince has already obtained some news about Dayuan! ?

"Your Highness, perhaps you have received some news?"

Liu Fu also had a hint of curiosity on his face at this time, and with these words, everyone focused their attention on Zhou Qiao.

Even Emperor Tianjing above was like this.

Feeling that Emperor Tianjing above was looking at him, Zhou Qiao's heart became more and more complicated.

This seemed to be the first time Emperor Tianjing had looked at him since Concubine Shu's death.

But this feeling did not make Zhou Qiao excited and happy.

Because he knew that this look was no longer the doting one it once was.

"Father, Zhou Zheng is in Dayuan and the marriage failed."

"Leave the mission behind and leave Dayuan alone."

Hiss, hiss! ! !

Just two sentences shocked the whole court, and almost all the ministers took a breath.

What surprised them was not the failure of the marriage.

After all, everyone was not optimistic about it at the beginning.

The failure of the marriage can only be said to be Zhou Zheng's incompetence, but if he left the mission alone and left alone, then this would be a big sin!

"The Yuan Dynasty intended to facilitate the marriage between Princess Yunyun and the prince, but the prince refused!"

Zhou Qiao didn't give everyone time to react, but continued to drop a bombshell!

How can it be? !

Prince, why is this?

Could it be that you would rather ignore national affairs? !

Or is it that His Highness the Crown Prince is bound to compete for the throne? !

Countless possibilities popped up in everyone's minds.

Only Sima Cheng stood up and stood up against all opinions, vowing to prove that Zhou Zheng could never disregard the justice of the country. Unfortunately, except for him, no one responded.

"Is it true or false? After a while, there will be news."

"At that time, all the truth will be revealed."

Zhou Qiao ignored Sima Cheng at all, stood there and spoke calmly.

For a moment, the courtiers didn't know which side to listen to.

Even Liu Fu fell into deep thought.

Because he knew that Zhou Qiao had fallen out of favor. If he had not received the exact information, he would never have said such words on such an occasion!

So, what is the truth? !
