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

"Your Highness, there are many people waiting outside, all bringing large sums of money to ask for an audience."

In the prince's residence, Uncle Fu stood in front of Zhou Zheng, carefully reporting.

What happened in prison today spread a lot throughout the imperial capital. Although there was a mass killing, Zhou Zheng still returned safely and intact.

It was not because Zhou Zheng was above the law, nor was it because the court did not dare to take action against Zhou Zheng.

It's all because of the word "Zhu Su"!

Since ancient times, the princes of all dynasties have been extremely careful in the matter of Zhu Sui, because this is not only to select confidants who are absolutely loyal to them and prepare for their future accession to the throne, but also to demonstrate the importance and sanctity of Zhu Sui.

Therefore, generally the leaders were either the heirs of princes and nobles, the descendants of high-ranking officials, generals with great military exploits, or eminent figures from a wealthy party.

Only Zhou Zheng broke hundreds of years of rules and actually chose a death row prisoner who was not tolerated by the imperial court and appointed by the Holy Emperor!

This approach is no longer unconventional, it is simply lawless and does whatever one wants.

"not see."

Zhou Zheng didn't know what those people outside were thinking. He just wanted to use his Zhu Su ability to help them catch some treacherous and evil people by bringing out Gan Mo.

It's justifiable, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

"The old slave has rejected those people now."

After hearing Zhou Zheng's words, Uncle Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his prince was not an ordinary person, and he also knew that Zhou Zheng must have a reason for rescuing Gan Mo, but no matter what, today's incident was too serious, and if it happened again, I'm afraid the Holy One would not be able to bear it.

The Holy One can give Zhou Zheng Zhu Lian the power, and naturally he can also take it all back.

"But Lord Sima Cheng is also waiting outside the mansion."

"Let him in."

......

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Upon seeing Zhou Zheng, Sima Cheng knelt down and worshiped him.

"Get up."

Zhou Zheng sat upright and frankly accepted Sima Cheng's kneeling, but his expression did not change or fluctuate much, and he looked calm.

"From now on, I, Sima Cheng, will always be on the saddle and behind the horse, and I will obey orders."

After standing up, Sima Cheng bowed his hands and once again bowed deeply at 90 degrees towards Zhou Zheng.

He knew that if it hadn't been for the young man in front of him, he would never have been able to save Gan Mo in his entire life.

"Take Gan Mo and leave."

Zhou Zheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip. What he said next made Sima Cheng's expression suddenly change.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"You don't have to swear to follow me to the death, and Gan Mo doesn't have to either,"

Zhou Zheng's explanation, which was neither salty nor bland, made Sima Cheng look strange and in disbelief.

Although he was only a minister of the Ministry of War, he still had a certain degree of strength and was the target of the princes' efforts to win over him.

As for Gan Mo, being able to kill hundreds of jailers by himself is enough to show how strong he is. Even if he is not as good as the peak, he is still a truly ruthless character!

How could Zhou Zheng be willing to let these two people go so easily?

"Don't worry, I didn't want you to follow me to death from the beginning."

"The reason why I am willing to wade into this muddy water is simply to try whether Zhusu is easy to use."

Waving his hand, Zhou Zheng continued speaking without being salty.

"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince looks down on the minister and Gan Mo?"

Clenching his fist slightly, Sima Cheng never expected such a result.

The entire court, and even the common people, now knew that Sima Cheng and Gan Mo were Zhou Zheng's people, but Zhou Zheng's sudden move caught him off guard.

Of course, Sima Cheng's temperament didn't care about this, but he couldn't understand, could Zhou Zheng really not be tempted at all?

Does he really not intend to cultivate his own cronies and influence?

Even the youngest Ninth Prince now has an imperial concubine secretly helping him cultivate his own power!

"Follow me?"

"Do you know that this journey will not be smooth, and that your life may even be in danger at any time?"

"All the ministers in the court and the princes are watching with eager eyes. You even know the emperor's attitude towards me."

"The only teacher who stood by my side was almost banned for life."

"Do you still dare to do it now?"

Zhou Zheng fiddled with the tea cup on the table with both hands and spoke slowly and methodically.

And every word he said seemed calm, but the murderous intention contained in it was undisguised.

As an official of the imperial court, Sima Cheng was naturally aware of Zhou Zheng's current situation.

It seems to have unlimited scenery and is deeply favored.

In fact, there are surging dark waves and dangers.

"You can see that there are officials in the DPRK who want to side with me?"

"The Holy One has long wanted to depose this prince."

"If I have to go north to marry Princess Dayuan, I won't be so comfortable now."

"Therefore, there is no broad road to follow me. On the contrary, it is an abyss."

"Live well and be a loyal and upright minister."

Zhou Zheng stood up, slowly came to Sima Cheng, patted his shoulder lightly with his palm, and prepared to leave.

"So, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, had no intention of winning over this official from the beginning?"

"To be precise, I had no intention of winning over anyone from the beginning."

"Then why would His Highness take such a big risk to save Gan Mo?"

Sima Cheng couldn't understand that although he rescued Gan Mo with the help of Zhu Sui's name, it would cause Zhou Zheng more trouble than he imagined.

It has long been spread to the outside world that Zhou Zheng's palace is very deep, his methods are very ruthless, and he kills people like crazy!

The eldest prince, Gu Qianfan, Zhang Hao, etc. all came to the palace to meet the saint, and the content must be extremely detrimental to Zhou Zheng!

Sima Cheng didn't know what would happen next.

But one thing is very certain, saving Gan Mo this time will be a big loss for Zhou Zheng.

Today's prince is no longer the idiot he was before.

It's impossible for him not to know the possible consequences of saving Gan Mo!

Could it be that he was really just doing it for fun?

Thinking of this, Sima Cheng shook his head, because this was simply impossible!

"If you must have a reason, I can give it to you."

"That's why I want you to live!"

"Right now, my country is experiencing internal and external troubles. It seems prosperous, but dangers abound."

"But there are many factions in the court, and the princes are secretly competing with each other. How many civil and military officials are truly speaking out for the sake of the country and the country?"

"But you, Sima Cheng, are different!"

"At least, you still look like a courtier and a loyal minister."

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, left these words, and immediately left.

"His Royal Highness!"

These words made Sima Cheng extremely moved!

"I will follow His Highness to the death!"

"Even if there are thorns and abyss ahead, even if there is no chance of death, I will not regret it!"

While roaring, Sima Cheng knelt down and worshiped Zhou Zheng again.

But this time, Zhou Zheng's steps finally came to a halt. He knew that Sima Cheng was really willing to follow him this time!

"Teacher, you still have the means."

Taking a deep breath, a light flashed through the depths of Zhou Zheng's eyes.

At the same time, deep in the palace, the eldest prince Zhou Fan was kneeling on the ground with Gu Qianfan, the head of the Imperial City Department, and Zhang Hao, the Minister of War, and was yelled at by Zhou Tian!
