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

Xiao!

One of the five great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, with a long history and rich heritage!

In recent years, the Xiao family has been stationed at the North Pass of the Great Zhou Dynasty, guarding the Xia and Yuan countries in the north, and protecting the peace of one side. It can be said that they have made a great contribution.

Although the Xiao family rarely participates in the political affairs of the court, they can wield a large number of troops and have made great achievements. They are extremely famous and powerful!

Even today, when facing such a behemoth, you still have to be polite!

Besides, if Xiao Qing hadn't used the power of the Xiao family, how would Zhou Tian be the emperor? ?

"Are you threatening me?"

Pupils narrowed into slits, Zhou Tianlong looked slightly angry and drank in a deep voice.

"Father, I just want to know the truth."

Zhou Zheng was not afraid, neither humble nor arrogant, and responded softly.

"Fourth brother, the Xiao family is the backbone of our country and guards Beiguan. How can you just say it in a few words and use it?!"

The eldest prince looked disdainful.

If Mrs. Xiao really wanted to protect Zhou Zheng, she would not ignore him for ten years.

"Oh shit!"

Zhou Zheng cursed angrily in his heart. The reason why he was not afraid today was because his most important trump card was Xiao.

Without Xiao's support and unable to rely on Xiao's power, who in the court would care about Zhou Zheng?

If he is forcibly dethroned as the crown prince, I am afraid that living in the future will be a luxury.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng clenched his fists with a look of reluctance!

He is not afraid of death, but he wants to live more and live decently!

As expected, the courtiers figured this out and looked at Zhou Zheng with a slight change in their expressions.

So what if the insanity recovers?

So what if Liu Fu fainted with anger?

Looking around the court, no one was standing next to Zhou Zheng, and the deposed prince at the top was well known to all passersby!

In this situation, Zhou Zheng's defeat is certain!

"Father, I heard that Daxia Kingdom has sent 300,000 troops to the border of Beiguan. I am watching with eager eyes. The border situation is urgent!"

Taking a deep breath and standing with his hands behind his back, Zhou Zheng still had an expression on his face.

As soon as this news came out, the whole court was shocked, the ministers were stunned on the spot, and even Zhou Tian above frowned slightly.

All the countries in the world are parallel to each other, and the Zhou Dynasty is surrounded by kingdoms on all sides, and powerful enemies are watching.

Especially the Daxia Kingdom and the Yuan Dynasty in the north.

In recent years, because the Xiao family has guarded Beiguan, the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Yuan Dynasty have become more peaceful. Although there are still small-scale intrusions from time to time, they will not cause great harm to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the 300,000-strong army driving south was no small matter!

"Our Ministry of War has never heard of such an important matter, and the imperial court knows nothing about it. How does Your Highness know about it?"

"Could it be that His Highness has been keeping a low profile for these years, and his spies have spread all over the world, and he is better informed than the imperial court?"

"Or is His Highness deliberately spreading rumors to sway the heart of my court?"

Chen Yong, Minister of the Ministry of War, questioned, causing the ministers to whisper.

Zhou Zheng frowned when he looked at Chen Yong. This guy seemed loyal and honest, but his words were full of knives and every word was deadly.

"That can only mean that your military department is incompetent."

Zhou Zheng's words made Chen Yong's face turn red.

"If you stay in the court and wait for urgent reports from the border to come unsolicited, what use will you, the Minister of War, do?"

With a sneer, Zhou Zheng was not used to Chen Yong at all.

It was just a dog following the second prince, so Zhou Zheng would not take it seriously.

"I also heard that the reason why Zhenbei Hou did not report this news was because he was waiting for an opportunity."

Raising his head, Zhou Zheng's eyes intertwined with Zhou Tian's. When he said the three words Zhenbeihou, he deliberately raised his voice by two points.

Zhenbeihou, the helmsman of the Xiao family, is Xiao Qing’s father and Zhou Zheng’s grandfather!

When he reached the first rank, he led 200,000 troops to guard Beiguan.

"Grandpa wants to use this opportunity to deliver good news to the court in a month's time, as a gift to me."

Grandpa!

Zhou Zheng didn't say any nonsense, but just the title of grandpa made many people in the court look tense!

No matter how long it has been since Xiao family asked Zhou Zheng, and no matter whether Xiao family cares about this idiot, no one dares to deny the blood relationship between Zhou Zheng and Zhenbei Hou Xiao Mu!

He is the current prince and Xiao Mu’s grandson!

"The prince is really good at it!"

"Whether what he said is true or false, it doesn't matter. Because the Marquis of Zhenbei will definitely stand on the side of the prince."

"That's right, what does it mean to take advantage of the situation? This is called taking advantage of the situation!"

The ministers discussed, and at this moment, they realized that Zhou Zheng was not reckless today, and had prepared everything in advance.

"The prince's real purpose this time is to give the weak crown!"

"Once the weak crown is crowned, the crown prince's position will be truly stable!"

Taking a deep breath, when the Minister of Rites looked at Zhou Zheng, a rare hint of fear flashed deep in his pupils!

There is so much preparation in the early stage, all for the sake of crowning the weak champion!

Because in one month, it will be Zhou Zheng’s eighteenth birthday!

According to the custom of the Zhou Dynasty, the crown prince will be crowned when he is eighteen years old!

That is to tell the world that he is the first successor to the future throne, adhering to God's will and public opinion!

And Zhou Zheng deliberately told the story about the crisis in the north and the 300,000 enemy troops pressing down on the border at this time, and claimed that this was a coronation gift given to him by his grandfather Xiao Mu. His intention was really brilliant!

The ministers couldn't help but look at Zhou Zheng highly again. Such scheming made them feel a little fear in Zhou Zheng for the first time!

"absurd!"

"That's nonsense!"

"Zhou Zheng, the Marquis of Zhenbei is loyal to the court. You are trying to ruin the reputation of the Marquis of Zhenbei!"

Zhou Fan was completely panicked when he heard the words "weak crown crowned"!

Once crowned, it would be extremely difficult to depose the crown prince!

"Don't say that this is just your own words. Even if the Marquis of Zhenbei is here today and knows that you have desecrated the harem and violated moral integrity, he will still put the overall situation first!"

Looking at Zhou Zheng fiercely, Zhou Fan didn't know why Zhou Zheng suddenly changed his gender, let alone why Zhou Zheng could say what he said today.

But no matter what, he has only one purpose, which is to dethrone Zhou Zheng as Crown Prince!

"Your Majesty, the edict to abolish the crown prince has been issued. If this matter is not settled, where will the imperial authority be?"

"The prince has been suffering from mental illness in recent years. He knows nothing about the governance of the country and is embarrassed to take on the important task."

"Your Majesty, the prince today dares to kill the proclaimer, despise the court, slander the ministers, and is not afraid of the Holy One. I don't know what extraordinary things he will do in the future!"

"I suggest that for the sake of the foundation of the country, the prince should be deposed, exiled to other places, and driven away from the imperial court!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

At this moment, all the courtiers expressed their opinions one after another!

After all, they were supporting several other princes. How could Zhou Zheng be crowned a weakling?

Zhou Zheng looked at the opposition of the ministers and the indifference of Zhou Tian above, and his heart became angry!

"How can I allow you to manipulate the destiny of this palace at will?!"

"You keep saying that I have desecrated the harem. Where is the evidence? Why don't you dare to confront me?!"

"Today I am going to be deposed. It's very simple!"

"Even killing me today is not a difficult task!"

"But, who of you dares!?"

"How do you face my royal ancestral system?!"

"How will future generations of historians write about Your Majesty?! How can you stop the world from talking!"

"Who among you dares to really bet that my grandpa will give up on this matter!"

"Remember, Your Majesty has ten sons, but my grandpa only has one grandson: me!"

At this moment, Zhou Zheng was alone, but his voice was sonorous and he had no scruples!

Since he chose to die standing, what fear did he have! ?

The ministers were speechless, and the court was so quiet at this moment that you could clearly hear the sound of a pin falling!

"If my father is a wise king, he will prove it to the world right now!"

"Concubine Xuan Shu, I want to confront her in front of all the civil and military officials of the court!"

"If I really behave in a disgraceful way, even if I am cut into pieces with a thousand swords, I will never complain!"

"Otherwise, I would rather die than submit!"

Zhou Zheng clenched his fists, almost hoarse!

"it is good!"

"I will make you convinced that you have lost!"

"Pass the message, Concubine Xuan Shu!"
