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

"Your Majesty wanted to kill all the old and young, old and young, probably not just because of this."

Looking at Chen Sheng, who looked complicated at this time, Zhou Zheng spoke slowly.

In more than ten years, if Emperor Tianjing had been willing, he would have taken action long ago.

Why wait until now? !

"The situation in Lujiang County is by no means as simple as it seems."

"If I guess correctly, the other part of the old and the young should be related to the real bandits."

"And standing behind those real Lujiang County bandits is King Runan."

Zhou Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and spoke word by word.

These words made Chen Sheng startled, and then he smiled bitterly.

"That's right. Since Your Majesty has asked His Highness the Crown Prince to come to Tianfeng City, he must know everything."

Besides His Majesty, who else can move Lujiang County?

"The other group of survivors, the old and the young, have never given up on revenge."

"They formed an army and existed in Lujiang County as rogue bandits. They seemed to harass the people and rob property, but in fact they were just preparing for rebellion."

Chen Sheng didn't seem to notice the change in Zhou Zheng's tone, and spoke out some of the hidden details.

"King Runan was the most trusted right-hand man of Emperor Tianjing back then. He held a high position and had 30,000 elite men at his disposal."

"If King Runan was willing, he would have eradicated all those old and young."

"The reason why we didn't take action is that King Runan has already secretly formed an alliance with those old people and young people."

"On the other hand, His Majesty has not really made up his mind to kill them all."

"Presumably, His Majesty has noticed the relationship between King Runan and the old and young, so he asked His Highness to come to Lujiang County in person."

In Chen Sheng's opinion, this is the only reason.

Otherwise, why would the dignified prince come to such a place! ?

Otherwise, how could Zhou Zheng directly ask for the list of the elderly and the young?

"Those people are not destined to die."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng's words made Chen Sheng's pupils suddenly dilate and his expression suddenly changed.

These old and young people are not necessarily dead? !

"Please, the prince makes it clear!"

Even though he knew this was impossible, Chen Sheng's heart was still beating fast.

The relationship between him and the old and young is very complicated. If he can give them another way of living, he will not regret it even if he dies!

"Everyone is innocent and guilty!"

"You should know this truth."

Zhou Zheng looked at Chen Sheng calmly.

These words made Chen Sheng's face suddenly turn pale, and then he staggered back a few steps.

Clenching his teeth, he seemed to be engaged in a strong ideological struggle.

Seeing Chen Sheng's scene, Zhou Zheng's palms in his sleeves clenched a little involuntarily.

It seems that it is so.

"Some things cannot be taken with you in life or death."

"But you can no longer protect those things."

"Handing it over is the only way you can survive."

Zhou Zheng remained calm and continued to speak.

"Is that what your Majesty means?"

Gritting his teeth, Chen Sheng's eyes flickered and he raised his head slightly with a sound of reluctance.

"Who means it, does it matter?"

Rolling his eyes, Zhou Zheng shrugged.

"Is it possible that you haven't seen the current situation?"

"If it were King Runan standing here now, he wouldn't be so easy to negotiate with you."

Zhou Zheng's words shocked Chen Sheng.

For more than ten years, King Runan tried his best, but unfortunately he failed to achieve his goal.

If he hadn't been wary of the imperial court and Emperor Tianjing, King Runan would have taken action against them long ago.

"Your Majesty wants that thing, so there's nothing wrong with giving it to him..."

Chen Sheng sighed.

That thing is naturally not something they can protect now.

Mumbling to himself, Chen Sheng's voice was a little hoarse.

He remembered more clearly than anyone else that His Majesty once said personally that if that thing never saw the light of day as the dust of the throne settled, it would probably be great.

But less than twenty years later, Your Majesty still couldn't bear it anymore.

He not only wanted to kill Chen Sheng and the others, he also wanted to kill the old and young, and completely wipe out those who knew those things.

He still has to worry about things that don't belong to him in the first place.

The most important thing is that I don’t want the world to know about my thoughts.

He maintained his benevolence and morality, acted as a wise sage, and secretly asked Zhou Zheng to achieve those goals by pacifying the bandits.

I have to say that this method is indeed a bit despising.

"Prince, that thing is indeed there."

"But are you sure the prince wants it?"

Suddenly, Chen Sheng raised his head, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"something wrong?"

Zhou Zheng frowned and was a little confused.

"No problem at all."

"Not to mention Your Majesty, there is no one in the world who doesn't want him."

Somewhat sighing, Chen Sheng slowly raised his head.

"It's just that there are some things that not everyone can take."

"If the prince gets that thing, there may be no possibility of leaving Tianfeng City alive."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Sheng looked extremely serious.

"The prince has risen to great fame in the past two years..."

"As long as we survive, we will reach that point in the future."

"There is no need to wade through the muddy waters this time."

"Leveling the slopes of our land can be regarded as an explanation to the Holy One, and it can also be regarded as an explanation to the imperial court."

"Let's leave it at that..."

Chen Sheng looked at Zhou Zheng with a serious expression.

Today was the first time he really looked at Zhou Zheng face to face, the first time he really came into contact with Zhou Zheng.

He had a feeling that it might be Dazhou's true blessing that such people could survive.

He had heard people say that Zhou Zheng was ruthless, domineering and bloodthirsty.

I have also heard that Zhou Zheng vowed not to give up to achieve his goal.

But he also heard that Zhou Zheng had never killed civilians or plotted against the common people.

He also heard that Xiangjun went from poverty to prosperity because of Zhou Zheng.

He even heard about the Green Crops Law and the idea of ​​spreading farmers into acres. He was shocked because these were good policies that benefited the country and the people.

His intuition told him that people like Zhou Zheng cannot die!

Because he might really make a difference in this world.

"I, in the dictionary of life, there is no word fear."

"There are many people who want to kill me, but it's a pity that I am still alive and well."

"If a few words make me fearful, I will no longer be Zhou Zheng."

A hint of domineering aura lingered on Zhou Zheng.

"The prince's courage is commendable."

"But has the prince thought about it?"

"That thing is a good thing, but it is also a deadly thing."

Chen Sheng raised his head and smiled. He did not doubt Zhou Zheng's courage and courage.

But he knew better that this premise was that Zhou Zheng didn't know what that thing was.

"good stuff?"

"Then, I would like to know even more."

A ripple flashed in the depths of his pupils, and Zhou Zheng was very interested.

"Treasure Map!"

"A treasure that is enough to make people all over the world go crazy."

Lowering his voice, Chen Sheng finally revealed the biggest secret here!
