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

"The third prince rebels!"

"Raise troops to invade and occupy fifteen counties and more than forty cities in Xiangjun. Xiangjun will fall soon."

"The prince fought hard and fought to the death, but he is still in danger."

"Scholars all over the world pray to eliminate the traitors and protect the country!"

Countless news spread throughout the Zhou Dynasty like it had wings.

Xiang County, which was originally closed, had no secrets at this time, and the situation inside was clear to everyone on Monday.

In the imperial court.

The ministers stood with complicated expressions.

"Your Majesty, if you don't take action, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block the world's mouth."

After a long time, Liu Fu finally stood up and, like other courtiers, knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing and tried to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, countless eyes in the world are watching. When the prince solved the rebellion of the five major families, he could kill all nine of them and stain Xiang County with blood."

"Now that the third prince has rebelled, if there is no movement from the court, where will the majesty be?!"

The Minister of Rites also came out, his voice trembling slightly.

The changes in Xiang County were unexpected by them, but when the news came out of Prince Yong's Mansion, no one would doubt its authenticity.

King Zhou Yong was a mediocre king who ignored the government affairs and didn't even care about the fight for the throne. However, when faced with the rebellion, he knew how to pass on the news and let the court decide, let alone those patriotic people.

Although the eldest prince Zhou Fan did not speak, when he glanced at the ministers with his peripheral vision, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Zhou Qiao's rebellion was something he didn't expect.

It must be because the dog is too anxious to jump over the wall.

Although there is no possibility of Zhou Qiao making a comeback to compete with them for the throne, it would be a great thing for Zhou Fan if he could be killed.

"Father, how much you doted on the Third Emperor's younger brother back then. I wonder if you can still maintain peace of mind now."

With a sneer in his heart, Zhou Fan also wanted to know how Emperor Tianjing would solve this matter.

At the same time, the second prince Zhou Ting, who was far away, was not in the court, but he kept writing letters, determined to eliminate the rebellion for the court and capture Zhou Qiao alive!

The civil servants and military generals were all in the same spirit at this time.

They had only one idea, to send troops quickly.

To show your holy power!

"Master Prime Minister, what do you think it should be?!"

Emperor Tianjing seemed a little tired. He waved his hand, and the people below the matter stopped talking.

Then he looked at Liu Fu with a somewhat dim look.

"Back to Your Majesty, I sincerely request the imperial court to send troops to use the ancient rivers and mountains to secretly enter Xiang County!"

"Work with His Royal Highness to encircle and suppress the rebels, and bring the third prince back to the court to make plans."

Liu Fu pondered for a while before speaking.

His suggestion was seconded by the ministers.

No one knew what was going on in Xiang County, but Zhou Zheng had achieved great success by killing five major families in Xiang County, which made many people extremely jealous.

After all, they didn't dare to go to the north to fight with Daxia.

But where even the prince can defeat more with less, they have absolute confidence that they can do better.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Fu's suggestion came out, many courtiers took the initiative to ask for a fight.

Such a posture was something Zhou Fan and others did not expect.

"Send the order!"

"Liu Fu is in charge, Chen Qi is the general, and he will send 50,000 troops to help Xiang County quickly."

"We must wipe out all the rebels."

A low-pitched order came from above the main hall. The ministers were not surprised, and the whole world was not surprised either.

......

"Prime Minister, do you really want to capture Zhou Qiao alive!?"

In the eldest prince's mansion, Zhou Fan's eyes were slightly narrowed, his eyes were a little sinister, and his face was full of unwillingness.

He couldn't understand why he didn't kill Zhou Qiao completely at such a critical moment.

"Blood is thicker than water."

Liu Fu noticed Zhou Fan's greed for success and cruelty, and for the first time a hint of darkness and disappointment flashed in the depths of his pupils. Sibling cannibalism was a royal taboo.

This can be seen clearly from the attitude of Emperor Tianjing.

Raising an army to rebel would definitely offend the nine clans, but is it really necessary to implicate the nine clans against the third prince? !

If you can't, then don't keep talking!

"Your Majesty pays attention to your benevolence and righteousness. If you order the execution of the third prince, I am afraid it will damage his reputation."

"First Prince, remember not to mention this matter again no matter what."

"If possible, you still need to stand up and protect the third prince."

Liu Fu's words made Zhou Fan frown slightly, but he did not refuse.

"Even so, why don't you wait any longer!?"

"It is said that the Third Prince is currently in Xiang County. Why don't I wait until Zhou Qiao kills Zhou Zheng before taking action!?"

This is what Zhou Fan cares about most.

Since ancient times, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind!

Zhou Qiao and Zhou Zheng are like fire and water, Zhou Qiao will pull out Zhou Zheng's muscles and bones all the time!

If you wait any longer, it will be enough for Zhou Qiao to destroy Zhou Zheng.

In this way, why not do it.

Now that he is sending troops, Zhou Fan seems to have a high chance of letting Zhou Zheng survive!

In the past, Zhou Fan would not have taken Zhou Zheng seriously at all, but it was different now.

Zhou Zheng's ability and talent, as well as his reputation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, made them unable to underestimate him easily.

This is a strong enemy!

This is the real powerful enemy he faces after taking office!

"Your Highness, do you really not care about the life and death of the people of Xiang County? Do you not care about the face of the imperial court!?"

Hearing that Zhou Fan was still calculating personal gains and losses at this time, Liu Fu's face became more disappointed, and even his words became a little harsher.

"Your Majesty is old. If you want to ascend to the throne, the eldest prince must have an absolute plan!"

"Sometimes, it is necessary to put aside personal grudges and put the court and the country first."

Sighing, Liu Fu whispered to persuade.

"There are many ways to kill Zhou Zheng, but you can't let people see it at a glance."

"As long as we lead the army into Xiang County this time and everyone slows down a little, won't the Third Prince also have a chance?"

"What we want is not only to destroy the rebels and gain recognition from His Majesty, but also to secretly control Xiang County."

Liu Fu's words were like enlightenment, making Zhou Fan wake up instantly, and then gave a thumbs up to Liu Fu.

"If nothing else happens, the Second Prince will soon contact His Highness secretly."

"This time, as long as everyone works together, we'll have everything under control."

Chen Qi is a famous general, but unfortunately he belongs to the second prince Zhou Ting.

His Majesty appointed Chen Qi as general this time in order to allow the eldest prince and the second prince to check and supervise each other to achieve what he wanted.

But Liu Fu knew the second prince Zhou Ting's temperament very well.

At such a critical moment, it was impossible for him to remain silent.

Of course, this kind of movement is what the eldest prince needs now.

After all, in the land of Xiangjun, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. As long as they cooperate properly in doing something, everything will be beneficial.

"Your Highness, this time, I want to see if your life is still so tough!"
