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

Lan Yu is dead!

Any secrets that may have been hidden among the elites Zhou Zheng brought from Xiangjun were basically cleared away.

Zhou Zheng looked coldly at the broken arms and limbs lying on the ground, his eyes calm.

He knew that he still underestimated Emperor Tianjing and the Kingdom of Daxia.

Return to the general's mansion.

In the assembly hall, Zhou Zheng was sitting at the top, while Xiao Guan, Xiao Hu and Qiaocheng were sitting on both sides.

"The prince is wise!"

Qiaocheng stood up first and slightly arched his hands towards Zhou Zheng.

A month ago, Qiaocheng received a secret order from Zhou Zheng, asking him to perform a play with Zhou Zheng in front of everyone.

Qiaocheng couldn't understand Zhou Zheng's intention before, but now everything is clear.

Only by making Daxia, Lan Yu and others think that Zhou Zheng and the Zhenbei Army turned against each other can Zhou Zheng's goal be achieved.

Qiao Cheng admired him for being so young and possessing such intelligence and scheming!

"For Old General Qiao to say such words, it seems that Zheng'er is indeed very clever."

Xiao Guan nodded with satisfaction, he knew Qiaocheng's temperament.

In this life, except for Xiao Mu, the Marquis of Zhenbei, no one has been able to penetrate the Eye of Qiaocheng.

Even when Xiao Guan won the first place among the three armies bravely, Qiaocheng didn't praise him directly.

"The old general Qiao is so complimentary."

"I wonder if grandpa has sent a message back?"

When he mentioned the Marquis of Zhenbei, Zhou Zheng also had a hint of worry on his face.

"Everything is as expected by the prince. The marquis has returned with a message."

When they said this, Qiaocheng, Xiao Guan and others also looked serious.

Marquis Zhenbei is in Kyoto, everything is fine.

However, Zhenbei Hou mentioned in his heart that everyone in the imperial court, civil and military officials, and relatives of the emperor were very dissatisfied with Zhou Zheng.

As long as Zhou Zheng returns to Kyoto, he will suffer countless impeachments.

This was not surprising to everyone, and neither was Zhou Zheng.

If he could get the approval of the court, the situation would not be what it is now.

"What my father means is that if possible, you'd better go back to Xiangjun directly."

Xiao Guan looked at Zhou Zheng and spoke slowly.

Today's Xiang County can be regarded as Zhou Zheng's base camp.

The people inside returned home, the rebels were killed, and Zhou Zheng barely took control of Xiang County.

If you can cultivate it carefully, there is a way out.

"Grandpa, you don't want me to come to Beijing to be crowned."

How come Zhou Zheng couldn't hear the deep meaning behind Xiao Guan's words?

He stood up slowly, his pupils flickering a little.

Xiao Mu must have noticed something when he returned to the capital, but it was just not convenient for him to say it directly.

If nothing else, Xiao Mu is now being secretly monitored by the court, and even this letter is problematic.

"If you don't return to Beijing, does uncle know what the consequences will be!?"

Zhou Zheng exhaled a turbid air from his chest and his expression became serious.

"What consequences!?"

In the eyes of Xiao Guan and others, the current Zhou Zheng is a first-class existence in terms of ability, means and talent.

Even if he is not welcomed by the court or recognized by His Majesty, as long as he hides his power and bides his time, he can still reverse the situation in the future.

Once you return to Beijing, you will be impeached by hundreds of officials, and you may even be placed under house arrest. By then it will be too late to regret it.

No matter what the consequences are, protecting yourself is the most important thing.

"There are still ten days."

"This is my coronation ceremony."

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and looked serious.

Upon hearing the word "coronation", everyone's pupils flashed and their expressions became solemn.

"You mean, this letter is not written by father!?"

Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao stood up together, their pupils dilated, looking in disbelief.

They knew better than anyone else that the reason why Zhenbei Hou returned to Kyoto was not only because of the sacred mandate, but also because he wanted Zhou Zheng to complete his coronation!

As a prince, after the ceremony of weak crown, comes the ceremony of coronation.

Only when he is truly crowned can Zhou Zheng become an upright prince and ascend to the throne in the future!

Otherwise, even though he has the title of prince, he will not have the actual status of heir apparent!

However, the content in the envelope now tells Zhou Zheng to return to Xiangjun.

It was obviously completely different from Xiao Mu's previous thoughts.

Everyone looked at each other and turned the envelope over again.

But the handwriting on it cannot be faked!

"What happened to grandpa in Kyoto? Go and see and you will find out."

Zhou Zheng's eyes rolled.

"Are you still going to Beijing?"

Xiao Guan's face was full of worry.

Since the blue jade was made carefully, the relationship between Zhou Zheng and Zhenbei Hou must have been known to the Holy Emperor for a long time.

This is simply the crime of deceiving the emperor!

"Yes, come to Beijing!"

Zhou Zheng nodded.

"This coronation ceremony is what I deserve, and no one can stop it."

Zhou Zheng's attitude was very firm.

"But!"

Xiao Guan, Xiao Hu and others still wanted to say something, but Zhou Zheng shook his head.

"If I really don't go to Kyoto, there will be a real reason for the court to depose the prince."

"Losing the position of prince is the danger."

"Not only am I in danger, but everyone involved with me will not be able to escape when the time comes."

Zhou Zheng frowned, his voice was not loud, but it was very heavy.

"Besides, going to Kyoto doesn't necessarily lead to the worst situations and situations."

"As long as you, uncle, truly control the northern border, the imperial court will not dare to act recklessly."

After hearing Zhou Zheng's words, Xiao Guan and others looked at each other.

They naturally knew the meaning behind Zhou Zheng's words.

"Of course!"

"If this time it is really lost in Kyoto, I can only say that this is fate!"

Zhou Zheng straightened his back and looked serious.

"Life?"

"Why, are you starting to believe in fate?"

Xiao Guan was speechless when he saw Zhou Zheng's appearance.

This kid can't help but talk about my fate every day. When did he say such sad words?

"Uncle still understands me."

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng could only shrug and grin.

"Don't worry, I won't die if I go to Kyoto."

"No one can take my life away unless I want it."

Zhou Zheng spoke seriously.

"What are your plans!?"

"The mountain man has his own plan!"

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was unwilling to speak, everyone did not force him.

Zhou Zheng paused: "However, Zheng'er has something to ask of me!"

"Withdraw the Yangning City defenders."

what! ?

When they heard this, everyone frowned and looked in disbelief.

"That's right!"

"Reorganize the troops in Zhenbei and conduct a large-scale military training in five days!"

"All-army drill!"

Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, do you know the consequences of this!?"

"Naturally know!"

"Then why do you insist on doing this!?"

Qiaocheng could no longer maintain his previous calmness and asked tremblingly.

The consequences of this are definitely not something that the current Zhenbei Army can bear!

"The imperial court planned to disband the Zhenbei Army last time."

"Could it be that Old General Qiao is really willing to hand over the fate of tens of thousands of Northern Army troops to the imperial court again!?"

Zhou Zheng's words made Qiaocheng freeze on the spot and remained silent for a long time!
