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

"Father!?"

"If we don't take action, the reputation of our Runan Palace in Lujiang County will fall to the bottom!"

"Even, there is no one available!"

In the palace of Prince Runan, Zhou Dao looked anxious and worried.

He was pacing back and forth, his face uneasy, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes from time to time, which was replaced by a trace of fear and hesitation from time to time.

Looking like this, he no longer had the calmness and calmness he had before.

Seeing Zhou Dao like this, King Runan couldn't help but sigh softly.

Unexpectedly, the gap between this son who once made him extremely proud and Zhou Zheng was as big as clouds and mud.

No wonder, Zhou Zheng never took Zhou Dao into his eyes, nor did he regard Zhou Dao as his opponent.

Because Zhou Dao is not worthy!

"As a heir, with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, yet he is so panicked, how can he behave like this?!"

Slapping his palms heavily on the chair, King Runan's voice sounded a bit regretful and helpless.

"But, father?..."

Zhou Dao wanted to speak, but was interrupted by King Runan waving his hand.

"You, your vision is still too short-sighted."

Shaking his head, the disappointment in King Runan's eyes became more and more obvious.

Everyone in the world could see that what Zhou Zheng did in Lujiang County had a huge impact on the prince's palace, how could he not know it! ?

But the current situation is that not only can he not take action, but he even secretly supports Zhou Zheng!

"After all these years, do you really think the court doesn't know about the relationship between the bandits and us!?"

"Your Majesty will take action completely this time."

"Zhou Zheng's arrival in Lujiang County is just a pawn for Emperor Tianjing."

"If you are not careful, it is not just Zhou Zheng and the three thousand elites who will end up, but the entire court and even Emperor Tianjing."

Slowly closing his eyes, King Runan's voice was unprecedentedly serious.

He clearly remembered the eight words Zhou Zheng said in his ear: abandon the car to save the commander, show weakness to save your life.

"The prince's palace really thinks it has the strength to compete with the imperial court? Do you think the imperial army of 300,000 people can't defeat Lujiang County?"

"The Imperial City Department has already figured out everything about Lujiang County over the years. Your Majesty thinks you can hide it from the truth!?"

"Your Majesty, all we need is a legitimate and fair excuse."

"If you dare to kill me, the imperial court will have an upright reason and excuse to just destroy you with a thunderbolt!"

"If you don't kill me, if you fight me hard, both sides will lose in the end!"

"Leave me alone, do you think you can be more patient and can afford the imperial court?"

"What's more, those bandits are useless to the prince."

"They are like vampires, constantly absorbing the prince's energy and money, and because of the relationship between the old and the young, they have never truly become the prince."

"Keeping them seems to strengthen the prince's power and increase his methods, but in fact it is a time bomb."

"The explosion at the critical moment is enough to kill the prince."

All that came to mind were Zhou Zheng's words.

King Runan was very aware of Zhou Zheng's rhetoric skills, but he had to admit that Zhou Zheng's words made sense.

"But even so, my prince's palace is not as good as before!"

"The status and reputation have fallen to the bottom, and I'm afraid it will never be as glorious as it is now in the future."

Zhou Dao was still unwilling to give in. This was undoubtedly a suicide attempt.

Shaking his head, King Runan did not speak.

Because he knew that he would not have to worry about having no firewood to burn the green hills.

What he wants is for the court to truly relax its vigilance against Lujiang County and then secretly accumulate strength.

Anyway, Zhou Zheng has already given the treasure map in exchange. As long as he, King Runan, is alive, it is only a matter of time before he can make a comeback.

You can even regain your glory in a very short period of time.

"The layout is open!"

"You're not even afraid of Zhou Zheng, why are you panicking!?"

"Remember, the Runan Palace must not take action. We are weak. This is the only thing we have to do now."

"What I fear is not that I will lose my troops, but that Zhou Zheng will not be able to withstand the oppression."

"After all, not everyone can handle killing so many people."

Slowly exhaling the turbid air from his chest, King Runan murmured softly.

Zhou Dao, who was standing behind him, had a trace of gloom on his pale face. ,

Since Zhou Zheng appeared, he has clearly felt that King Runan's attitude towards him has undergone a surprising change.

Unfortunately, Zhou Dao was unable to do anything.

......

Big week!

The name of Prince Zhou Zheng is once again hotly debated by the world.

This time, the world's people are more reviled!

Without the guidance of the eldest prince, the second prince and the court officials, the world's impression of Zhou Zheng declined rapidly.

Zhou Zheng has become an out-and-out murderer, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals regardless of the lives of the people.

The people in the court were equally angry.

"Your Majesty, the prince is behaving badly in Lujiang County and is murderous. Please order him to return to the court as soon as possible!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

The ministers knelt down and asked for the memorial. Everyone was filled with indignation and wished they could criticize him now!

In the past, Zhou Zheng had a reason for killing people every time, even an absolute reason!

This left the officials unable to argue, and even Zhou Zheng turned an army against him!

But this time is different!

In the name of pacifying the bandits, innocent people were killed indiscriminately. It is said that even thousands of King Runan's private troops were wiped out by Zhou Zheng!

In the name of the prince, and with the power of the imperial envoy, he acts recklessly and lawlessly!

Emperor Tianjing above looked at the people below quietly, his expression equally calm and there was no sign of anger.

"allow!"

After a long time, Emperor Tianjing finally spoke.

After leaving the court.

Royal study.

Emperor Tianjing's expression rarely became serious.

"Your Majesty, the rumors are true."

The words of the kneeling Gu Qianfan made Emperor Tianjing's face look even more ugly.

"The rogue bandits in Beiping, all the old and young on the list have been killed."

"Even Chen Sheng is the same."

"In addition, many forces carefully cultivated by King Runan were also suppressed by the prince with thunderous means during this operation."

Gu Qianfan buried his head and continued to report.

"What do you think I should do next?"

After a pause, Emperor Tianjing raised his eyelids and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is wise and can make his own decisions."

Gu Qianfan's words were still the same as before.

Afterwards, Emperor Tianjing waved his hand to let him retreat.

"Your Majesty, why are you not happy?"

In the darkness, an old voice came out slowly, feeling the gloomy aura of Emperor Tianjing, and asked softly.

"happiness?"

"I, how can I be happy?"

"Do you really think the prince is obsessed with ghosts?"

"Or do you think King Runan is really incompetent and dare not?"

Emperor Tianjing frowned, his eyes dark.

The world only saw the surface, but he was keenly aware of something strange and different.

"Your Majesty, you mean that the prince did all this on purpose?"

"If that's the case, the prince's cruelty will surprise this old slave."
