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

"Your Majesty, Sir, you are not coming to my Prince's Mansion just to drink tea."

In the hall of the Prince's Mansion, after Zhou Zhengping retreated from Uncle Fu, he stayed alone and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him straight to the point.

"The prince is really refreshing."

Putting down the tea cup, the middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Zhou Zheng to be so direct.

"I just want to see how much the prince looks like according to the rumors outside."

"After seeing him today, it is obvious that the outside world has underestimated His Highness the Crown Prince."

After thinking for a moment, the man suppressed the smile on his face and became much more serious.

During this six-month business trip, Sima Cheng was neither in the government nor in the imperial capital.

But rumors about Zhou Zheng have been heard for more than a month.

He was shocked by the transformation of His Highness the Crown Prince, and was even more surprised by the fact that the outside world almost seemed like a mythical Zhou Zheng!

So, he wanted to find out!

But when he actually saw Zhou Zheng himself, he was still shocked.

Calm and persistent.

Generous and restrained.

The most important thing is that those deep eyes are like the depth of the starry sky. Even if he has read countless people, it is difficult to look into Zhou Zheng's heart. It may seem like small talk, but the initiative of the entire topic rests with Zhou Zheng!

You know, Zhou Zheng was only eighteen years old at this time.

"Master Sima is joking."

"The current Prince's Mansion is a pit of fire. Don't even jump into it, you will be burned even if you get even slightly closer."

Zhou Zheng was not in a hurry, how could he believe that Sima Cheng was just trying to satisfy his so-called curiosity.

The Minister of War has a high position and a strong voice in the court. He is the target of the princes competing to win over him. For such a person to go deep into the Prince's Mansion alone, the meaning is definitely unusual.

"To be honest, the official came here this time for two purposes."

"First, visit the Crown Prince and congratulate His Majesty on your crown."

After a slight pause, Sima Cheng stood up, bowed his hands and bowed to Zhou Zheng.

"Lord Sima is interested."

This incident surprised Zhou Zheng and he quickly held Sima Cheng's arms.

"The second thing is that I want to recommend someone to the Prince's Mansion."

Speaking of this, Sima Cheng's tone was obviously much more serious.

Recommend someone? !

As he muttered to himself, there was a trace of ripples and fluctuations in the depths of Zhou Zheng's pupils.

"Lord Sima, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

His fingers tapped lightly on the table. Although Zhou Zheng was no longer the idiot he had been before, he seemed to have received a reward from the court, and was about to go to the Yuan Dynasty, where he was in a state of unparalleled glory.

But beneath these performances lies an absolute crisis.

One accident and his body was shattered into pieces.

"The official will naturally know."

With a serious look on his face, Sima Cheng took a deep breath and nodded in response.

"I, I want a reason."

With furrowed brows, no one from the civil and military officials in the dynasty, from the prime minister to the ordinary officials in the capital, dared to really get close to Zhou Zheng.

Everyone is a sensible person, so they naturally understand that Zhou Zheng's transformation at this time is just a dazzling moment before death.

It's impossible for Sima Cheng to be ignorant of this truth.

"If I say that I am moved by the prince's ambition and his passion for the country and the country, your highness will not believe it."

With a bitter smile, Sima Cheng was not surprised by Zhou Zheng's reaction.

"Since you know that I won't believe it, you just have to say something so that I can believe it."

Looking at Sima Cheng, Zhou Zheng spoke lightly.

In the entire court, most of the court officials had already stood behind different princes, lining up to seize the throne.

But Sima Cheng is an exception.

In recent years, the competition among the nine sons to win the rightful son, especially the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince, has become more and more fierce. Try to win over all civil and military officials as much as possible to build momentum and prepare for the follow-up.

However, Sima Cheng stayed on his own, remained impartial and neutral.

This is also the real reason why Zhou Zheng is a little more curious about Sima Cheng.

But such a person chose this time to come to the Prince's Mansion regardless of the attention of the court. The implication is definitely not simple.

"All the princes have contacted me openly or secretly."

"The reason for coercion and inducement is not that the subordinates are unmoved, but because of one person, Gan Mo!"

Sima Cheng obviously had no intention of hiding it and immediately told the reason.

As soon as the word "ganmo" came out, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole.

Because of this name, almost everyone in the imperial capital knows it!

Even if the original owner is an idiot, he is still familiar with the word Gan Mo, because this name almost stirred up the entire imperial capital!

Ten years ago, the Gan family was a prominent family in the imperial capital. They had been officials for generations and enjoyed great success.

But overnight, the Gan family was overthrown by a mysterious force, and the whole family was wiped out. Corpses piled up in mountains, and blood flowed into rivers. The smell of blood in the air of the entire imperial capital did not completely dissipate for half a month.

And Gan Mo is the only living bloodline of the Gan family.

In order to take revenge, Gan Mo went out of his way to kill like crazy, causing people in the imperial capital to panic for a while!

It's a pity that even though Gan Mo has great military strength and is not afraid of life and death, he is too insignificant in front of the court and the state machine.

Finally, he was imprisoned and put on death row!

"Next month is Gan Mo's deadline."

Because of the Gan family's contribution to the court, the Holy Emperor did not execute Gan Mo immediately, but gave him an extra ten years of life!

Counting the time, next month will be the day Gan Mo is executed!

"If it weren't for the Gan family, our Sima clan would have ceased to exist long ago."

"Therefore, I have only one condition for invitations to all princes."

"Whoever can save Gan Mo, I, Sima Cheng, will spare no effort and follow to the death!"

It's a pity that no prince dared to accept Sima Cheng's conditions!

"So, this is the real purpose of your coming?"

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes slightly. He naturally knew the relationship between the Sima family and the Gan family, but he didn't expect that Sima Cheng would still remember this relationship after the Gan family disappeared for ten years.

In this way, Sima Cheng is a pretty good person.

Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed into slits: "Why do you think I am capable of saving Gan Mo?"

"Zhu Sui!"

Sima Cheng raised his head, with a hint of light in his eyes without hesitation.

Zhu Lv did not return to the imperial court, but only obeyed the orders of the prince.

The most important thing is that as long as the prince is willing and the other party agrees, then people can be recruited from anywhere to become the prince's subordinates!

Since ancient times, in addition to being powerful and powerful, the princes around him have also been given the opportunity to live a new life for those who are about to die.

From this, there is no doubt about his loyalty.

This is also the reason why Sima Cheng really seeks out Zhou Zheng!

At least, according to Zhou Zheng's practice, Zhou Zheng now has the greatest chance and possibility to keep Gan Mo alive.

"That's a good reason."

"But it's not enough."

Shaking his head, Zhou Zheng gently put down the cup in his hand.

"If the other princes were princes, they would naturally not dare to interfere in Gan Mo's affairs."

"But you are different!"

Sima Cheng had already thought about it carefully before coming.

Not only because Zhou Zheng is the only hope, but also because he knows that Zhou Zheng dares to do things that other princes dare not!

Zhou Zheng is willing to do things that other princes are not willing to do!

He dared to openly offend the Holy Emperor in the court, and even dared to try to kill Concubine Shu in a righteous manner!

Such courage and courage, not many people in the past and present can do it!

"What if I don't want to?"

Slowly exhaling the turbid air in his chest, Zhou Zheng remained calm.

"Then I have no choice but to beg Your Majesty to die!"

With a bitter smile, Sima Cheng knew very well that Gan Mo was different from others, he was the one appointed by the Emperor!
