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

"Prince, the five major families have begun to move!"

In Yancheng, inside the prince's residence.

Ji Gu looked serious and reported the recent news in Xiang County to Zhou Zheng in detail.

At this time, Jin Chan Auction's advantage in news was fully realized, and all the news of the five major families were under their control.

"In addition to the five major families, the gentry and landlords in eighteen counties and seventy-two cities are also gathering strength."

"The assembly will be completed in three days at most."

"According to the current situation, they will have at least 50,000 troops by then!"

Ji Gu's expression was solemn, and there was a hint of worry in his words.

At present, Yancheng has been cleaned up by Zhou Zheng, but the combined strength is only more than 5,000 troops!

If a war breaks out between the two sides, Yancheng will be captured by the other side within three days!

After hearing Ji Gu's words, Zhou Ping's pupils suddenly shrank.

Gu Jiang and other officials looked even more bitter.

They have mobilized as much as possible, but except for the officers and soldiers of Yancheng, there are no reinforcements.

"Fifty thousand?"

"I really underestimate these five major families and the squire and landlords."

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and said quietly.

In the entire hall, everyone's mood also fell to the bottom. Facing such a large number of enemies, they had no power to resist.

"Prince, please return to the court first."

"That's right. If we fight hard, we can protect His Highness back safely."

"As long as the prince returns to the court, Yan Cheng's power will naturally solve the problem."

Gu Jiang and others knew very well that judging from the current situation in Xiang County, there was no room for maneuver between them and the gentry and landlords.

Since the other party can assemble an army of 50,000, they are ready to fight to the death!

As expected, tens of thousands of troops were about to besiege Yancheng.

When the time comes, let alone escape, even a fly will not be able to leave!

As long as Zhou Zheng is alive, the officials in Yancheng, Gu Jiang and others have a chance!

"Run away without a fight?!"

Zhou Zheng frowned, stared at the people below, and shook his head.

In his life dictionary, there is no word escape.

"If I escape, will the imperial court still have its majesty in Xiang County!?"

"How will the thousands of people in Xiang County view this palace and how will they view the imperial court!?"

"Everyone, please don't forget that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers!"

"Just rebelling against thieves is like expelling orthodoxy!?"

"wishful thinking!"

Zhou Zheng slammed the table, Zhou Zheng was filled with righteous indignation!

The one who should escape is not him, but the five major families and those powerful country gentry who don’t know the heights of heaven and earth!

Seeing that Zhou Zheng's attitude was so firm and there was no room for negotiation, Gu Jiang and others looked at each other, but did not speak in the end.

Because they knew better than anyone else that if even Zhou Zheng was fearless, what right did they have to back down? !

"Boss, are we really not leaving?"

When Gu Jiang and others left and only Gong Tan and a few others were left, Zhou Ping rubbed his hands and asked.

At the moment, Yancheng seemed to be completely under their control, but the storm was about to come, and a sense of ominousness had already arisen in Zhou Ping's heart.

"Walk!?"

"If I really want to return to the court in despair, doesn't it just show that I am incompetent?"

Zhou Zheng's eyes were a little cold, and the court might have already received the news about the changes in Xiangjun.

The reason why there was no movement was simply because they were waiting for Zhou Zheng to run away in panic!

Let the world see the joke, let the court see the joke, let your royal brother and the saint see the joke! ?

Zhou Zheng would rather die!

"You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood. I think these five major families are really going to come."

Zhou Ping naturally knew what Zhou Zheng meant, but he still tried his best to persuade him.

After all, the situation in Xiang County is tense now, and a war could start if you are not careful.

Although they have formed a force in Yancheng, how can they withstand an army of at least 50,000 people? ?

"Fortunately, you are still the heir apparent. Can't you see that the situation at this time is not just a problem for Xiang County?"

Gong Tan frowned, looking at Zhou Ping with a little anger.

"If there was no trace of the imperial court in this matter, do you think the five major families would really have the courage?!"

As the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, Gong Tan saw the crux of the problem at a glance.

A word to wake up the dreamer!

"damn it!"

Only then did Zhou Ping and others react!

Although Xiangjun is far away from the imperial court, with the capabilities of the Imperial City Secretary, I am afraid that Xiangjun's every move has been reported to the imperial court.

But now there is not only no movement from the court, but also no feedback.

All this is too weird!

There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, and that is that the court is waiting!

Waiting for Zhou Zheng to fight with the powerful squires led by the five major families!

If Zhou Zheng dies in the hands of the five major families, the court can not only re-establish the crown prince in an upright and fair manner, but also take this opportunity to completely eradicate the five major families!

If Zhou Zheng completely suppressed Xiangjun, the imperial court would have gained a big advantage.

Of course, in the eyes of the court, the second possibility is almost zero!

In other words, the court regarded Zhou Zheng as a victim!

"His grandma has legs!"

Zhou Ping couldn't find a place to vent his anger, so he could only curse!

It is said that a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. If Emperor Tianjing is really so cruel and ruthless, it would be really disappointing!

Moreover, in Zhou Ping's heart, Zhou Zheng was far superior to other princes in terms of ability and talent.

Why can't I be favored? !

"In that case, why did the boss write to the court asking for help?!"

Zhou Ping clenched his fists. He couldn't understand why Zhou Zheng still licked his face and asked the court for help, since he knew that the court and the Holy Emperor had ulterior motives.

“The procedures that need to be followed still need to be followed.”

"Otherwise, raising a private army would be a treasonous crime."

Zhou Zheng's face was peaceful, unhurried and unhurried.

He was betting that the imperial court would not make any move after receiving his letter of distress.

Only in this way can Zhou Zheng rationalize and legalize the 10,000 elites Lan Xi brought from the northern land.

"Of course, I also want the imperial capital and everyone in the world to know about this."

"When I suppress Xiangjun, the credit cannot be given away."

Stretching his arms, Zhou Zheng explained with a smile.

Of course, this explanation is somewhat difficult for Zhou Ping to understand.

But in Zhou Zheng’s words, it is to completely control the battlefield of public opinion!

You must let the world's public opinion completely develop in the direction you want!

Neither Da Zhou, Da Xia nor Da Yuan may understand the so-called war of public opinion. But Zhou Zheng knew very well that to truly win a battle and achieve a complete victory, public opinion was crucial.

He wants to gather momentum!

Not only Yancheng and Xiangjun, but also the Great Zhou Dynasty and the power of the world!

The best way is to speak out!

"The difficulties in Xiangjun will put me in crisis. Even the court and the world think this is a fatal situation for me!"

"But in the same way, Xiangjun's calamity is also an opportunity!"

"This is an opportunity for me to truly become famous all over the world!"

"This palace must not only solve the problems that the Zhou Dynasty could not solve for three hundred years, but also solve them completely!"

"Whoever dares to stop me will be destroyed by me!"

"If the landlords and gentry dare to block the road, I will kill them!"

"If the five major families dare to block the way, I will destroy them!"
