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

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted!

Zhou Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, with a calm expression, but everyone present was stunned.

Since ancient times, this rule has existed in all dynasties.

However, looking at ancient and modern times, no general has ever dared to do this!

Even a being as powerful as the Marquis of Zhenbei, when facing the Holy Emperor's will, no matter how unwilling he is, can only accept it first.

Because the imperial edict represents the holy will.

Resisting the decree means shaking the emperor's absolute authority.

"The boss is the boss, awesome!"

Zhou Ping, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Zheng with increasingly hot eyes.

When a man is born between heaven and earth, he should be as upright and upright as Zhou Zheng, without fear of the powerful.

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Zhou Ping rolled his eyes.

This time, Zhou Zheng just refused to accept the imperial edict.

Two years ago, Zhou Zheng directly refused to accept the order and even killed the official who announced it.

In this way, Zhou Zheng is undoubtedly much gentler at this time.

Of course, others don't dare to use this reason, but it doesn't mean that Zhou Zheng doesn't dare to use it.

After all, Zhou Zheng has never been an ordinary person.

"Right now, the land in the north is in ruins and waiting to be renovated. Is this the time when I and the Marquis of Zhenbei can come to the capital to claim credit?!"

"The Great Xia Kingdom has just retreated, but the battle between the two armies is not over yet. How can we leave here and chill the soldiers?!"

"Right now, the morale of our Great Zhou Dynasty is at its peak. We should pursue the victory and demonstrate our national prestige. How can we stop moving forward?"

Zhou Zheng folded his hands in front of his chest, and his face was cold and obvious.

The guys in the court are more shameless than the last.

In order to achieve one's own goals, it is really shameless to sacrifice national interests at the expense of others!

"Go back and tell the young people in the court!"

"I have no intention of quarreling with them, and I have no leisure to deal with them!"

"But if they take advantage of it, they don't know what is good and what is bad, they act as a slut, and they don't care about the interests of their family and country or the interests of the people!"

"Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"

"After all, you should all know my methods!"

Zhou Zheng glared angrily, stared at the Minister of Rites and scolded him in a deep voice!

At the same time, a huge feeling of oppression roared out of Zhou Zheng's body and instantly enveloped the Minister of Rites.

The faint bloody murderous intent made the body of the Minister of Rites tremble, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his steps couldn't help but retreat.

If anyone else said this, it would be treason!

But when Zhou Zheng said these words, he did not dare to contradict him in any way.

If Zhou Zheng is angered, he will be killed directly to sacrifice the flag, which would be unlucky.

"His Royal Highness, you are dedicated to serving the country, and I feel ashamed to be a low-ranking official."

Forced to stabilize his mind, the Minister of Rites could only flatter and agree.

At this time, he kept scolding himself in his mind, why did he take this job?

"When the imperial court heard about this great battle, if there was help from the gods, the sound of countless bombings was heard, and tens of thousands of enemy troops were killed in an instant."

"Prime Minister, I hope that the Crown Prince will write down this explosive method and submit it to His Majesty."

When the Minister of Rites said this, his voice was trembling.

He kept scanning Zhou Zheng's face with his peripheral vision, carefully observing the changes in Zhou Zheng's expression, for fear that this question would anger Zhou Zheng.

"His grandma has legs!"

"Boss, then Liu Fu is not a good person."

"How dare you pay attention to this."

Zhou Ping was furious when he heard this, and even the usually steady Marquis Zhenbei looked gloomy at this time.

He had known for a long time that the matter of black gunpowder could not be hidden, but he did not expect that the imperial court was so eager to learn how to refine the black gunpowder.

Whoever masters this thing will undoubtedly have a killer move!

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with entrusting the method of making black powder to the imperial court, but in the view of Zhenbei Hou, such methods and means are actually a bit underhanded.

"Naturally."

However, Zhou Zheng was not as angry as the others, but had a smile on his face.

"If the Prime Minister wants this thing, let him come to me personally."

"I will not only tell him how to make it, but I will also let him feel its power personally."

Zhou Zheng grinned, showing his white teeth.

But the feeling is not gentle, but rather cold, making people shiver.

The Minister of Rites shrank his head involuntarily.

"In this case, I will leave first..."

The Minister of Rites knew that the current situation made it impossible for Zhou Zheng to return to the capital, and it was also impossible to obtain the method of making the thing that caused the big explosion.

Staying here has no meaning or value.

It's better to return to Beijing quickly and resume life.

As for what the court will do next, it is not up to him.

"Lord Shangshu, you are arrogant."

However, Zhou Zheng's shaking head made the Minister of Rites' heart beat faster.

"I wonder if the prince has any other instructions."

Gulu swallowed his saliva, and the Minister of Rites smiled cautiously.

How dare he take credit now? He didn't even dare to ask about the specific situation in the northern border.

Because just now, he had noticed that everyone present looked at him with a feeling that they wanted to cut him into pieces.

Staying a moment longer means one more danger.

After all, most of the people in the northern border were military generals. They drank hair and blood, so how could they talk to him about the ethics of benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom.

"Right now, if we want to consolidate the victory here, the northern land still needs the full support of the imperial court."

"I heard that outside the northern land, the imperial court has already prepared a triple defense fortress with a total of 300,000 elites. Is it true or false?"

Zhou Zheng stared intently at the Minister of Rites.

This question made the hearts of Zhenbei Hou, Xiao Guan, Xiao Hu, Xiao Bao and others also sink.

The soldiers in the northern territory were not afraid of life and death and risked their lives in order to protect the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the imperial court refused to provide support for a long time.

It was even rumored that there were no troops to send.

But where did the three hundred thousand elites of the three lines of defense come from?

The imperial court would rather let them build three lines of defense behind the Northern Territory than let them enter the Northern Territory. Why is this? !

"Go back, go back to Prince's Night, I'll tell you about the affairs of the Ministry of War. I don't know..."

Sensing the change in the atmosphere, the Minister of Rites' expression turned cold.

He never expected that Zhou Zheng would actually say such words in front of the Zhenbei Army!

At that moment, my heart sank, and an ominous feeling of panic spread from the bottom of my heart.

Afterwards, I could only shake my head and say I don’t know.

"What I dislike the most is people who lie."

"You should still remember that I once killed the proclaimer in public."

"Now do you think it is possible for me to kill you in the north?"

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly, and then directly placed the long knife across the neck of the Minister of Rites.

The chill brought by the sharp blade instantly made the Minister of Rites’ hair stand on end!
