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

"last question!"

"I, the Great Zhou, govern the country with benevolence and righteousness, and govern the world with benevolence and righteousness!"

"Dare I ask, why did the prince massacre tens of thousands of people in Xiang County?!"

Sure enough, Jiang Zheng changed the subject, shouted angrily, and questioned him on the spot!

The change in attitude was something no one expected!

The hearts of countless people sank, their expressions changed, their pupils shrank, and they stared at Zhou Zheng.

Of the three questions, although the first and second are suspected of being over the top, difficult to answer, and may even arouse public outrage, they do not seem to be very important now.

Because compared to the current question, the third one hits the nail on the head and points directly at Zhou Zheng!

During the Xiangjun Incident, Zhou Zheng uprooted the five major families!

There is nothing wrong with him killing the rebels.

The nine tribes implicated also have legal support!

but!

The five major families rebelled, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed by Zhou Zheng, including some who had surrendered.

At Zhou Zheng's order, none of the soldiers who surrendered with the white flag were left alive!

What a move! ?

The so-called discussion of Tao means discussion of the way to govern the world!

In the first question, Zhou Zheng said that the king and the people are like boats, emphasizing the need to care about the people.

In the second question, Zhou Zheng talked about cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. He also made it clear that one must cultivate benevolence, righteousness, and morality!

But the third question overturned Zhou Zheng's previous words on the spot!

Because those soldiers were almost all civilians, and they had even surrendered.

But what about Zhou Zheng’s benevolence and righteousness! ?

Zhou Zheng’s people-oriented attitude! ?

Or, it's all just Zhou Zheng's rhetoric to confuse everyone.

Is Zhou Zheng essentially a bloodthirsty, fatuous, and unethical person? !

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes fell on Zhou Zheng, and even Gu Jiang and others were panicked!

Zhou Zheng's so-called order to kill without mercy made Gu Jiang worried that this would happen. Zhou Ping and others knew very well that someone would use this as an article to suppress Zhou Zheng.

But they never expected that before the imperial court's suppression came, Jiang Zheng's questioning would arrive first!

"Jiang Zheng was a great Confucian of his generation, advocating the rule of benevolence and righteousness."

"I should have thought of this a long time ago!"

At this time, Mu Yun felt guilty, his withered palms clenched tightly, and his face sank to the bottom of his heart.

He originally wanted to use his connections to get Jiang Zheng to come over and build momentum for Zhou Zheng.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be self-defeating in the end!

"What Jiang Zheng hates most in his life is the indiscriminate killing of innocent people..."

With a trembling voice, Mu Yun regretted it at this time.

He knew very well that Zhou Zheng was not in power in the court, and had not been recognized by the emperor. The promulgation of the New Deal also aroused opposition from the landlords and gentry in various places.

Now, the third question may undoubtedly push Zhou Zheng into the spotlight!

How can a bloodthirsty and murderous person become the prince, heir apparent and co-lord who will rule the world in the future? !

Zhou Zheng was also stunned, obviously not expecting that the third question would be so cruel!

Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Zheng quietly. He did not see the slightest fluctuation in Jiang Zheng's eyes.

But he felt the inner surge of countless people in Yancheng.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng naturally knew that the original killing was a bit cruel, but Zhou Zheng never regretted it.

Because he knew that those people must die!

He must use iron-blooded means to kill some possible risks. Only by using such means can he frighten those young people.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng would still make such a choice even if he had never done it before.

"Sir, how do you think these rebels should be treated?!"

Zhou Zheng did not respond directly, but asked Jiang Zheng.

“Return kindness for evil.”

Jiang Zheng already expressed his attitude in just four words.

Although these soldiers rebelled, when they laid down their weapons, they were still the people of Zhou Dynasty, and they should be tolerated.

"Return kindness for evil!?"

"What a good person to repay evil with kindness!"

"It's just that, junior, it's hard to agree with it."

Zhou Zheng shook his head, his face was gloomy, and he shouted loudly.

"Everyone, if I draw my sword towards you today and chop off your limbs, will you avenge this?"

Zhou Zheng turned around, looked at the hundreds of thousands of people watching, and asked loudly!

This question made countless people freeze in place.

Can they ignore or even let go of this hatred? !

Can they greet such people with a smile? !

The people who originally regarded Zhou Zheng as a bloodthirsty man also fell into deep thought at this time.

"If someone disrupts our land and seizes my ancestral temple, kills my ministers, and massacres my people, this revenge must not be repaid!"

Zhou Zheng did not give everyone time to think and continued questioning.

And this question made everyone panic!

"Report!"

"I must retaliate!"

"I must repay it!"

Finally, someone couldn't help shouting loudly!

And this response immediately caused a chain reaction, one stone stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone shouted.

"That day, the five major families plotted rebellion and launched an army to rebel!"

"If Yan City is destroyed, will the people in my city have a way to survive!?"

"The rebels fought, beheaded my people, killed my soldiers, and killed my generals. Have they ever thought of repaying evil with kindness?!"

"no!"

"At that time, they had only one idea, and that was to kill us all!"

Zhou Zheng spoke excitedly, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly in front of the crowd.

"What does it mean to repay evil with kindness!?"

"If you don't harm my life, don't harm my descendants, and don't threaten my people, I can repay evil with kindness!"

"But they didn't!"

"This is a group of people who want to destroy my land, destroy my country, and destroy my people!"

"How can I repay evil with kindness!?"

"I will never do that!"

"Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice as before!"

Zhou Zheng's voice was high, his words were exciting, and his words were sincere.

He didn't say a word in the whole article to defend himself. Killing is killing!

But he usually stands on justice, on the people of the country, on the fate of the dynasty and the country!

"I have committed countless sins, and I only admit them to you!"

"But I have no regrets!"

"There are always things that need someone to take responsibility for!"

"But I know better that at this time, the sin lies in the present, but the merit lies in the future!"

Buzz! ! !

The ear-splitting sound made everyone's hearts heat up!

Countless people's hearts are shaking and their blood is surging!

So what about sin today! ?

What I want to pursue is that success will last forever!

It is a serious crime to destroy the five major families and kill tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people!

However, the people of Xiang County will no longer be forced by the five major families and will truly raise their heads.

When countless pairs of eyes looked at Zhou Zheng, their gazes radiated with light.

There are never perfect people in this world.

But Zhou Zheng never seemed to be a selfish person.

"Following such a boss, even if it means death, it's worth it for me!"

"Only such a person can be called a real man!"

"Follow the prince, no matter what the outcome is in the future, we will not regret it!"

"If the Great Zhou Dynasty can be put into his hands, it may be a real blessing."

Countless voices spread below.

At this time, Zhou Zheng's image was taller than ever before!

The people not only want a benevolent king, they also need a king who can risk everything to protect them!
