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

With eight thousand people fighting against hundreds of thousands of Wolf Vine tribe!

Use the water from the ancient Ya River to flood all living beings on a night of heavy rain!

The news spread to every corner of the Zhou Dynasty like it had wings, shocking the world!

For a moment, countless people were shocked and frightened, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

Because, before this, no one could have imagined that Zhou Zheng would not only dare to fight against the people of the Langteng tribe, but also win a complete victory!

Such an achievement is rare in the world.

Although it may not be unprecedented, it must be unprecedented.

But as more and more news comes out, details are gradually revealed.

Especially when the water flooded the entire tribe and wiped out hundreds of thousands of members of the Langteng tribe overnight, it made everyone feel scared deep in their hearts. Some people even labeled Zhou Zheng as bloodthirsty and cruel.

The Zhou Dynasty has always governed the country with benevolence and righteousness. When did it do such a cruel thing? !

"I heard that the prince killed innocent people indiscriminately and massacred people in Xiang County. Now it seems that this is his true nature!"

"Yes, there are disloyal people in the Langteng tribe, but most of the tribesmen are innocent, and they don't even know. Under such circumstances, the prince actually did it?!"

"Is he not worried at all about being reviled by the world, not caring at all about being criticized verbally or writtenly, and not at all considering what history will say about him?!"

"Hmph, how can such a person become the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future!?"

"If he came to rule the country, would this world still be as prosperous as it is now?!"

Countless voices of condemnation sounded in the Zhou Dynasty.

For a time, Zhou Zheng has become the target of everyone's scolding. Some people even plan to write thousands of letters, hoping that the Holy Emperor will depose Zhou Zheng. After all, no one wants the prince of Zhou Zheng to be a devil who kills without blinking an eye!

Even the Confucian scholars who had always supported Zhou Zheng fell silent collectively at this moment.

Because Confucian scholars value benevolence, justice and kindness the most!

But Zhou Zheng's approach is completely different from Confucian thought.

Is this still the Confucian leader they recognized before? !

In the court, officials led by Liu Fu and others continued to impeach.

At this moment, not only the civil officials, but also military generals, and even the royal family members could not stand it anymore.

They listed dozens of evidence against Zhou Zheng and wished they could depose the prince now and banish him forever.

Such a heinous crime and such bloodthirsty was something that the entire Zhou Dynasty had never heard of or seen!

However, what all the courtiers did not expect was that Emperor Tianjing, who wanted to depose the prince, rarely remained silent this time.

All impeachment memorials were suppressed.

"Prime Minister, why is my father so abnormal!?"

"Is it true that as rumored, the current prince has begun to gain the love and recognition of his father!?"

The eldest prince looked unwilling, and deep in his eyes, there was more fear and uneasiness.

In the past year or two, especially after Zhou Zheng arrived in Xiangjun, what he had done made it increasingly difficult for him to remain calm.

In particular, it was even more incredible to him that Emperor Tianjing would suppress all impeachments for Zhou Zheng this time.

"It seems that the eldest prince still doesn't understand His Majesty."

Seeing Zhou Fan so nervous, Liu Fu shook his head.

In the past, the eldest prince could be recognized and followed by Liu Fu. On the one hand, the eldest prince was the eldest son and had been the eldest son since ancient times. Liu Fu saw the greatest hope in Zhou Fan.

On the other hand, it is also because Liu Fu has always been steady.

This is the most important quality in competing for the throne.

But with Zhou Zheng's strong rise, Zhou Fan's characteristics became less and less.

"Hasn't His Highness noticed that there are many courtiers who want to impeach Zhou Zheng, but not many who risk everything to impeach Zhou Zheng?"

Liu Fu shook his head, and then he could only explain patiently.

Hearing this, Zhou Fan felt even more strange.

Could it be that many ministers began to waver and try to fall to Zhou Zheng? !

If so, wouldn't Zhou Zheng be even more powerful! ?

"Hey!"

Seeing Zhou Fan getting into trouble, Liu Fu could only sigh softly.

"Because all the ministers know that no matter what, the Holy One will not deal with the prince at this time."

Although Zhou Zheng is now said to be bloodthirsty and killing indiscriminately, this is actually a very good thing for the Zhou court.

The Langteng tribe has been away from the imperial court for hundreds of years and has become a serious problem.

Nowadays, the war in the northern border is tense, and the Zhou army is retreating steadily. The Langteng tribe chooses this time to take action, and it is very cruel!

Once the Langteng tribe occupied Xiangjun, it would truly be a huge threat to the Zhou Dynasty.

Even if Emperor Tianjing doesn't like Zhou Zheng, he still knows the importance of this kind of thing.

Moreover, there have long been rumors that the eight thousand elites trained by Zhou Zheng are extremely powerful in combat and have unparalleled courage!

How could Emperor Tianjing take action against Zhou Zheng at this juncture before he went north to fight against Daxia.

The reason why the courtiers went to court for impeachment was just to go through the motions.

No one took it seriously, and no one thought that the Holy Emperor would take action against Zhou Zheng at this time.

After hearing this, the eldest prince suddenly realized.

But it was not difficult to conceal the regret and disappointment on his face.

"This fourth brother is really lucky. He is so lucky."

Zhou Fan was obviously still unwilling to give in. After all, such an opportunity didn't just happen.

"No and no."

"Your Highness, you must remember that if these things don't happen now, they will become deadly weapons at the critical moment."

"Moreover, the eldest prince not only cannot go to Shu for impeachment at this time, but also must protect Zhou Zheng."

"Take the initiative to tell Emperor Tianjing to give Zhou Zheng a chance to go north to fight Daxia Kingdom!"

"Because only in this way can His Majesty's style be revealed!"

"Only those who have the world in mind and abandon personal interests are qualified and have the opportunity to ascend to the position of general rule."

Liu Fu stared at Zhou Fan meaningfully, left these words, and turned to leave.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

At this time, Zhou Fan finally came to his senses.

He bowed slightly to Liu Fu and responded.

......

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has come to the throne, and against all opinions, I hope that your majesty will give the prince a chance."

In the imperial study room, Gu Qianfan knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing and presented Zhou Fan's folded book with both hands.

But Emperor Tianjing didn't even look at it.

"What do you think of what the prince did this time?"

Emperor Tianjing stared at Gu Qianfan with interest.

The Imperial City Division knew everything that happened in Xiangjun and reported it to Emperor Tianjing one by one.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"That's the prince, the only way to win..."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qianfan's eyelids twitched slightly, and then he buried his head deeply on the ground.

Eight thousand versus one hundred thousand strong, no matter how elite the army is, there is no chance of winning.

I thought it was a losing battle, but I didn't expect to win a big victory.

Flooding the people seemed bloodthirsty and ruthless, but Gu Qianfan knew better than anyone that that was the best choice and the only way.

To be precise, the imperial court has always mastered this method.

It's a pity that all the emperors in the past have cared about the rule of benevolence and righteousness, and no one dared to truly do that.

Zhou Zheng not only found this method, but actually did it!

Dare to be the first in the world. This alone is enough to make countless people ashamed!
