In the court room, it was eerily quiet.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Zheng. They really couldn't understand why Zhou Zheng was so crazy as to say such words!

Without him, the Yuan Dynasty would not send troops! ?

Is it even possible that the Yuan Dynasty would go to the side of Daxia and join forces to attack Zhou?

Really ridiculous!

Not to mention that Zhou Zheng had regained his consciousness at this time, even if he was still the idiot he was before, he would definitely not be able to say such arrogant words.

In the eyes of Zhou Fan, Liu Fu and other ministers, Zhou Zheng was just jumping over the wall and talking nonsense.

Unfortunately, no one believes these words.

Zhou Fan and others would cast their gazes on Emperor Tianjing above from time to time, carefully observing Emperor Tianjing's reaction.

As expected, everyone felt happy when they saw Emperor Tianjing's face gradually darkening.

"Zhou Zheng, if there is a way to heaven, you don't take it. If there is no door to hell, you force your way through it!"

"If you come back honestly and admit your mistake and be punished, you might still have a chance."

"But you are so shameless and talk nonsense. You are really asking for your own death!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Fan exchanged glances with Liu Fu slightly.

"Your Majesty, the prince is the future of the country and the future of the country."

"The current prince is so ignorant and even crazy. How can he look like a prince?!"

"Please, Your Majesty, please re-establish the crown prince for the sake of Great Zhou!"

Liu Fu came out of the queue, with a serious face, and knelt down to Emperor Tianjing above.

As he spoke, almost all the courtiers agreed.

They have no partisanship at this time, and no one is entangled in who deserves the credit for this great victory in the north. They have only one and only goal, and that is to depose the prince.

Seeing the reaction of the ministers, Sima Cheng gritted his teeth.

He is the only courtier still standing besides Zhou Zheng.

Sima Cheng wanted to explain, but unfortunately he was unable to speak under the verbal and written criticism from the officials.

In the end, Sima Cheng could only stand stubbornly beside Zhou Zheng.

No matter how inappropriate what Zhou Zheng said just now was, or whether Zhou Zheng's outcome this time might be that his position as crown prince was abolished, Sima Cheng didn't care.

He firmly stood by Zhou Zheng's side, which was an attitude in itself.

"My lords, are you finished!?"

Zhou Zheng memorized the appearance of these courtiers one by one, and the chill in his heart became even stronger.

"If I succeed in the future, none of you will be able to escape."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart.

The so-called eating the emperor's salary and sharing the emperor's worries seems to be vividly demonstrated by the courtiers.

"Father, what do you mean!?"

Seeing that the ministers were quiet, Zhou Zheng raised his head and stared at Zhou Tian above!

The ability to depose a prince is something that only the Holy One can possess!

Apart from this, no one in the world can do it!

Not to mention the ministers above the court today, so what if you include the generals on the border! ?

Zhou Zhengzhi's question instantly brought everyone's attention back to Emperor Tianjing above.

All the ministers were prostrate, but no one spoke.

But they all knew in their hearts that Zhou Tian's attitude and choices were the key.

"Hmph, asking my father to make such a choice in front of the courtiers is so ignorant!"

"But this is good, it will help my father make up his mind!"

Zhou Qiao and Zhou Fan looked at each other sideways and could see the meaning in each other's eyes, and immediately smiled knowingly.

"If the Yuan Dynasty sends troops and it is really related to you, you should be rewarded!"

"If not, the clan will deal with it."

Zhou Tian remained calm.

But his words made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

Even Zhou Zheng frowned.

There are rewards for merit and punishment for demerits.

It seemed impartial and fair, but everyone knew the meaning behind Emperor Tianjing's words.

There is nothing wrong with rewarding people based on their merits.

But Emperor Tianjing mentioned the Zongren Mansion!

The Zongren Mansion was a special administrative organization of the Zhou Dynasty. This organization did not participate in political and state affairs, and it did not even have military power.

But his existence is a great threat to all the royal relatives.

The Clan Mansion is in charge of the clan roster of the emperor’s nine clans, composes the emperor’s genealogy on time, and records the concubines, names, titles, hereditary titles, dates of birth and death, marriages, posthumous titles and burials of the clan’s children.

Responsible for sending and receiving documents, managing internal affairs of the clan, registering yellow books, red books and other matters.

These may seem insignificant, but the most frightening thing about the clan is that he has a special power, which is to imprison and educate the clan's children!

In other words, the clan government can punish the emperor's relatives!

In the past three hundred years, almost all the relatives of the emperor who were admitted to the clan's residence had a good ending.

Not only will they lose their previous honor and prestige, but they will also be confined to a fixed place and lose their freedom forever.

What's more, being deprived of your clan membership and title would be worse than death!

The ministers just wanted Emperor Tianjing to depose Zhou Zheng.

But who would have thought that Emperor Tianjing actually planned to let the Zongren Mansion intervene!

Once this happens, Zhou Zheng's future will no longer be bright!

Hearing this, Sima Cheng's face turned pale on the spot, and then he gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling to give in.

"The clan's mansion?!"

"Since I can remember, it seems that the Zhou Dynasty has been around for almost ten years, and no royal family members have been handed over to the clan mansion."

At this moment, Zhou Zheng's heart ached a little.

He never thought that Zhou Tian's attitude towards him would change, and he never expected Zhou Tian to treat him like other princes.

But this body is, after all, Zhou Tian's bloodline.

Therefore, he still has the slightest hope!

But Zhou Zheng never expected that Zhou Tian not only failed to protect him in the slightest, but also wanted to hand him over to the clan mansion! ?

This is not just punishment, this is to make him unable to recover forever!

Being removed from the royal family tree, being imprisoned, and more likely to die in the clan's mansion!

What a cruel heart!

The palms in the cuffs were slightly clenched into fists, and Zhou Zheng's eyes were somewhat bloodshot.

"Reward, sir, I don't want it."

"However, it is not necessary for the clan government to intervene."

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger and pain in his heart, Zhou Zheng pulled a sneer on his face.

Looking at Zhou Zheng's appearance at this time, Liu Fu and others seemed to think of Zhou Zheng's courage when he first went to court a few months ago!

He would rather die than surrender! ?

But so what! ?

Even though there were people in the court who admired Zhou Zheng's courage and courage, everyone shook their heads quietly.

Fight with the emperor?

court death!

"It's not your turn to decide whether to let the clan government intervene or not!"

The more Liu Fu saw Zhou Zheng being so tough and fearless, the more unhappy he became!

"It's my turn to talk about my royal clan's affairs here again!?"

Zhou Zheng's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes, and he yelled in front of Emperor Tianjing and all the civil and military officials!

These words made Liu Fu's heart sink, but he was also a smart man. He flicked his sleeves and ignored Zhou Zheng.

After all, he had fallen into Zhou Zheng's hands when it came to words.

"This time I brought something back from Dayuan."

"Today, I would like to invite His Majesty and all the ministers to take a look at this thing!"

"Then, you will see whether you want to hand over this palace to the clan mansion!"
