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

Zhou Zheng's words left Xiao Guan stunned for a long time.

Looking at Xiao Guan, who was pale and confused at this time, Zhou Zheng said nothing.

He knew that whether this speculation was true or false, Xiao Guan would need time to digest it.

"why?!"

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Guan was still in disbelief.

He knew that Zhou Zheng's analysis was correct. Looking at the Zhou Dynasty, the only one who could achieve this step was the current emperor.

but!

He absolutely had no reason to take action like this!

"How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed!?"

"He will never allow any force to threaten his supreme authority."

Zhou Zheng's eyes tightened. In the face of absolute power, any family affection or love is not worth mentioning!

Zhou Zheng knew very well that although Emperor Tianjing seemed to be ruling the country with benevolence and righteousness, deep down he was so ruthless!

The presence of Xiao Mu in the Xiao family and the Zhenbei Army already made Emperor Hui feel a little uneasy.

But the Xiao family also has the extremely smart Xiao Qing, who is recognized by hundreds of officials in the court and has the ability to summon the harem!

In addition, the descendants of the Xiao family have another such brave person as Xiao Guan!

If the Xiao family continues to grow like this, who can rest assured! ?

This is the motivation!

"Grandpa is loyal to Zhou Dynasty, but being loyal to Emperor Tianjing is not a good thing."

After a long time, Zhou Zheng opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

Only this time, Zhou Zheng didn't explain too much.

Xiao Guan is a smart man, so he can naturally hear the overtones of Zhou Zheng's words.

If Xiao Qing's death and Xiao Guan's disability were closely related to Emperor Tianjing, how would Xiao Mu feel? ?

That kind of foolish loyalty might completely break him.

Xiao Guan glanced at Zhou Zheng with a complicated expression. He had already guessed that the reason why Zhou Zheng wanted to find a way to make Xiao Mu as disappointed as possible with the court and Emperor Tianjing was not only because Zhou Zheng wanted to rely on the power of Zhenbei Hou, but also because Zhou Zheng hopes that when the truth is revealed to the world, Xiao Mu can hold on!

"What if, who did everything?"

"What do you think?"

Xiao Guan exhaled the turbid air in his chest, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Zheng, and asked in a deep voice.

On one side is today’s emperor, Zhou Zheng’s biological father!

On one side were Zhou Zheng’s deceased mother, concubine, and uncle!

Xiao Guan wanted to know, what choice would Zhou Zheng make? !

And, how to choose!

"If it were anyone else, they might want to live in confusion for the rest of their lives."

"Sometimes, knowing the truth is not a good thing."

Zhou Zheng slowly lowered his head, his voice was very low, but it was enough for Xiao Guan to hear clearly.

"but!"

"I, Zhou Zheng, don't want to live in a muddle for the rest of my life."

"I must find out the truth I want to know."

"Besides, I promised my uncle that I would definitely give you an explanation."

Zhou Zheng still remembered that two years ago, when Xiao Guan returned to Kyoto from the northern border, he personally promised Xiao Guan that he would help him find out the truth.

He was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Zhou Zheng to remember it so clearly.

"Is the truth really that important?"

Xiao Guan re-examined his legs, which had been disabled for many years, and murmured in a low voice.

He asked himself, even if he knew that Xiao Qing's death and the disability of his legs were related to Emperor Tianjing, so what! ?

What can he or the Xiao family behind him do! ?

The imperial power is supreme, who dares to question the Emperor, and who dares to disobey the Emperor! ?

"The truth may not be that important."

"But, I don't want to be a pawn in other people's hands and be manipulated by others."

Zhou Zheng's pupils turned. For some reason, he always had an intuition that he was put on the chessboard and controlled everything.

Zhou Zheng didn't like this feeling very much!

But if he wants to escape from this chessboard and find out the truth, Zhou Zheng has only one way.

That is to become stronger and feel tyrannical!

Therefore, Zhou Zheng began to run Xiangjun, began to win over people's hearts, and began to train elites.

But, this is not enough!

He needs more support, more effective support.

Zhenbeihou, Zhenbei Army, the land of the north!

It's Zhou Zheng's best choice.

"In order to control Xiang County, you killed countless gentry and powerful people, wiped out 100,000 rebels, and slaughtered the entire Langteng tribe..."

"In order to win the Northern Territory, you let 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled Zhenbei Army carry black powder and submerge themselves into the enemy army with their flesh and blood as a price..."

"In order to alienate the relationship between my father and the court and Emperor Tianjing, you did not hesitate to disturb my father's rock-solid heart and vomit blood at your mouth!"

"Zheng'er, does it have to be like this?"

Xiao Guan's voice was trembling at this time.

For the first time, he felt a hint of panic and panic in Zhou Zheng.

The young man in front of him looked gentle and elegant, but in fact his methods were so cruel that he felt scared.

Even though the two of them were only one foot apart, he found that he couldn't see Zhou Zheng clearly.

He seemed to have never really recognized this young man.

Zhou Zheng did not answer Xiao Guan.

But this attitude is an attitude in itself.

"The most ruthless imperial family since ancient times..."

"It seems that's right."

Xiao Guan muttered softly.

"uncle......"

"If the Xiao family is really overthrown and headed for destruction, will you still think like this at that time?"

This question made Xiao Guan's pupils dilate.

For a moment, there was a hint of confusion on his face.

"That's it."

"You've grown up too."

"In terms of talent, ability, and means, my uncle has long been ashamed of himself and is no longer able to teach you anything."

"I just hope that you will not become a cruel and murderous person in the future."

Looking into Zhou Zheng's eyes, it seemed like a request, but more like a begging.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zheng did not respond to him.

He has no intention of hurting anyone, but there are too many people in this world who want to kill Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng had no choice.

Only by being ruthless can he have hope and chance to survive.

Seeing Zhou Zheng's appearance, Xiao Guan's eyes dimmed after all.

Because he had already seen the answer on Zhou Zheng's face.

"uncle!"

"As long as I'm here, no one can touch the Xiao family!"

When Xiao Guan turned around and left, Zhou Zheng spoke.

This seems to be a promise.

Xiao Guan paused slightly, then nodded slowly.

"Boss!"

"Master Hou is awake, please come over."

Suddenly, Zhou Ping's voice came closer and closer, and he hurried over.

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, but still followed Zhou Ping.
