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

The imperial capital, deep inside the palace!

Chen Ji knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing, not daring to take a breath.

Rushing back from Xiangjun without stopping, he had reported everything to Emperor Tianjing.

"What do you think I should do?"

After a long time, Emperor Tianjing slowly spoke.

This question made Chen Ji's heart sink, and then beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Your Majesty, after the Prince's Northern Expedition is over, the imperial court should regain control of Xiang County."

"Otherwise, there will be trouble in the future!"

Chen Ji gritted his teeth, thought for a long time, and finally spoke.

This time in Xiang County, he saw the people's absolute love and respect for Zhou Zheng, he saw the officials' admiration for Zhou Zheng, and even saw the recruits' absolute obedience to Zhou Zheng.

In Xiang County, a situation has gradually formed where the world only knows Zhou Zheng but not Emperor Tianjing!

If Zhou Zheng has the intention to rebel, Xiangjun will definitely leave the court directly.

Even if Zhou Zheng had no disobedience, Xiang County showed signs of becoming its own entity.

In Chen Ji's opinion, in another ten years, the imperial court will completely lose control of the target county!

"I, got it."

"Just back off."

Emperor Tianjing nodded.

Chen Ji did not dare to speculate on the holy will, so he could only retreat uneasily.

A few minutes later, Gu Qianfan came in and knelt down: "Your Majesty, it has been taken care of."

Emperor Tianjing was not surprised, but sat back on the dragon throne and stared at Gu Qianfan thoughtfully: "Do you know why I want him to die?"

This question made Gu Qianfan's heart suddenly sink, and then he looked panicked.

Kneeling on the ground in fear: "Slave, I don't know."

He really didn't know, and even thought that Chen Ji had made great contributions!

Otherwise, who would know that the situation in Xiang County has reached this point now? !

But despite this, Emperor Tianjing still secretly executed Chen Ji.

Before Chen Ji died, he didn't even think about it, and he even died with his eyes closed.

I have followed Emperor Tianjing all my life, and I have always followed Emperor Tianjing's orders resolutely, without any selfish motives!

Who would have thought that the result would be like this! ?

"Because he can only die."

Emperor Tianjing's voice was not loud, but it was like five thunders hitting Gu Qianfan's heart.

At this moment, Gu Qianfan lowered his head even further, and his palms were already soaked.

"Because, only if he is dead, some things will not be spread."

Caressing the silk on the document, feeling the silky softness, Emperor Tianjing finally let out a sigh.

After all, Chen Ji has been following him for ten years.

But Gu Qianfan was frightened when he heard this.

He was a smart man, so he naturally knew that what Emperor Tianjing said about some things that should not be spread out was referring to Yin Fen's attack on Zhou Zheng.

Otherwise, even the top five aristocratic families of the Yin family would not be able to protect themselves.

Emperor Tianjing did not care about the so-called aristocratic family, but the relationship between the Yin family and Emperor Tianjing was very close.

It even involves King Runan!

"How is the war going in the north?"

Seeing that Gu Qianfan didn't speak, Emperor Tianjing also changed the topic.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei has asked for help many times."

"I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer."

Gu Qianfan gritted his teeth and did not dare to neglect.

The battle situation in the northern territory is far more shameful than imagined. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Zhou soldiers have been killed.

There are battles every day and consumption every day.

The imperial court has even ordered the people within a fifty-mile radius of the northern border to evacuate.

But what Gu Qianfan couldn't understand was that Emperor Tianjing didn't send any reinforcements!

Even Liu Fu and other officials could not sit still, hoping to recruit new soldiers from across the country to reduce the pressure on Zhenbei Hou.

But Emperor Tianjing did not make any move.

Could it be that Emperor Tianjing really wasn't worried about the northern territory being breached and the Great Xia Kingdom marching straight in? !

It is said that the Holy Heart is unpredictable, and accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

Sure enough.

"Yes, I understand."

Nodding expressionlessly, Gu Qianfan didn't dare to say anything.

"Go back."

......

Jingxiong City!

Yin family!

At this time, the solemn atmosphere suppressed everyone, and no one dared to take a breath.

Looking at the severed limbs on the table, Yin Cheng, who was sitting at the top, clenched his fists and his face was full of cold murderous intent!

Why couldn't he recognize that this was his son Yin Fen's right arm!

"Zhou Zheng, how dare you insult my Yin family like this!"

The fist hit the table hard, and the sound of the huge impact caused a sudden ripple in the originally deathly quiet Yin family hall.

Many elders and second generations of the Yin family also looked confused at this time.

As one of the five great aristocratic families, the Yin family is inextricably linked to the royal family.

Over the years, whether they are princes, generals, ministers, dignitaries, or even princes, they must be polite to the Yin family.

How could anyone dare to be arrogant and domineering towards the Yin family! ?

Zhou Zheng, how dare you be so bold!

Sending Yin Fen's arm is undoubtedly a provocation to the Yin family, and it is also a humiliation to the Yin family!

Yin Cheng had met Zhou Zheng. He knew that Zhou Zheng was bold, but he never thought that Zhou Zheng would be so bold!

"Clan leader, Zhou Zheng has gone too far to bully others!"

"As long as you give the order, even if our Yin family spends everything, it will not make him feel better."

"Yes, kill Zhou Zheng, kill Zhou Zheng, kill Zhou Zheng!!!"

The heads of the Yin family were all indignant and wished they could rush to Xiang County now and hack Zhou Zheng to death.

"Dongzhou Zheng, everyone, do you really dare?"

Seeing everyone's attitude, Yin Cheng shook his head.

Today, although he is angry, he still has sense.

Let’s not talk about whether the Yin family can kill Zhou Zheng. Even if they do kill him, what will be the result waiting for the Yin family?

Link the nine clans!

After all, Zhou Zheng is not an ordinary disciple of an aristocratic family, but the current prince!

"Clan leader, can this be the end of it?"

"Where will our Yin family's reputation be in the future? How will we gain a foothold?!"

Many elders obviously couldn't swallow this breath.

"Elders, you underestimate Zhou Zheng too much."

Yoon Ji, who had been silent in the corner, finally spoke.

His words instantly silenced everyone.

The younger generation of the Yin family is undoubtedly Yin Ji. Even Yin Chengdu regards him as his successor.

More importantly, Yin Ji has become the godson of King Runan.

This means that Yin Ji's identity is very different.

Otherwise, no matter how smart Yin Ji is, he is not qualified to sit here.

"Ji'er, do you have any instructions from King Runan?"

Yin Cheng looked at Yin Ji, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Today's Yin Ji is stable, wise, and has noble people to help him.

From now on, the Yin family will become stronger and stronger in his hands...

Hearing King Runan's name, everyone's eyes flashed with passion.

These are the brothers and sisters of the current Holy Emperor.

"Father, let me fulfill Zhou Zheng's request..."

Yin Ji did not address him as King of Runan, but as foster father.

The corner of his eye swept over everyone's bodies imperceptibly, and seeing the respect on their faces, Yin Ji felt even more proud...

what?

Satisfy Zhou Zheng's request? ! ! !

Hearing this, not only the elders of the Yin family, but also Yin Cheng's expression changed and he exclaimed incredulously.

"The foster father said that Yin Fen acted disobediently towards Zhou Zheng in public..."

"If this matter reaches the court, the Yin family cannot afford it."

Yin Ji's voice was very low, his eyes closed slightly, and then he stopped talking.
