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

The court doesn’t want to fight?

When they heard this sentence, everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.

Even Zhou Ping, Gong Tan and others were quite surprised.

"Your Highness, the imperial court has recruited 300,000 troops, and the generals are also ready to go!"

"Your Majesty, you personally issued a mobilization call to the world. There is no reason not to fight!"

"In the Great Xia Kingdom, an army of 300,000 people is marching southward from the Beihai Sea. This is the general trend!"

"Why, how could the imperial court not want to fight?!"

The Minister of War swallowed his saliva. Disputes in the court had been going on since ancient times. They even sacrificed others for their own interests.

Even if he is an official minister, it is difficult to escape from the party.

But if because of this, he was made to believe Zhou Zheng's words, he couldn't accept it.

"Is it?!"

"As the Minister of War, let me ask you!"

"It has been common sense among military strategists since ancient times to move forward before the soldiers and horses move forage."

"But now, does the imperial court collect grain and grass, prepare silver, and forge weapons and armor?"

Seeing how naive these people were now, Zhou Zheng asked in a cold voice.

This question made the Minister of War and everyone present stunned for a moment, and then a trace of decadence appeared in their eyes.

Because what Zhou Zheng said is true!

The imperial court is indeed mobilizing troops and recruiting elite soldiers and generals!

But it is also true that the thunder may be loud and the raindrops may be small!

"Then I'll ask you again!"

"Your Majesty sent an imperial edict, asking me to lead the expedition, but I am just a general to conquer the north!"

"Since the imperial court has high hopes for me, they are even willing to put their wealth and life on me!"

"Then let me ask you a question!"

"Did the imperial court ever give me the right to command troops?!"

Standing with his hands behind his back, Zhou Zheng's voice became louder and louder, and his dissatisfaction and questioning made the Minister of War and others speechless.

"Without military power, even with my great ability, I can't resist Daxia's 300,000 cavalry!"

"Now, can't you see the key point?!"

"The imperial court, from the beginning to the end, never wanted to have a real fight to the death with Daxia!"

Zhou Zheng's voice, like rolling thunder, exploded in everyone's ears.

These words made everyone suddenly realize.

No matter what their attitude towards Zhou Zheng was, the reality was exactly as Zhou Zheng said.

But why would the court do this? !

Isn't it possible that the imperial court is worried about Daxia's 300,000 cavalry entering the territory of Dazhou and oppressing the people of Dazhou? !

At this moment, the eyes of the Minister of War and the many court officials who came were full of doubts and confusion.

Because they really can't figure it out.

"Then, why is the court doing this?..."

Gritting his teeth, the Minister of the Ministry of War was still unwilling to give up.

He raised his head, looked at Zhou Zheng, and asked hurriedly.

"Because this is the best way to break the situation."

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of bitterness and regret in his words.

"If I don't accept the order, I will even kill you all!"

"Then the imperial court has every reason to take action against me."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace.

To fight against the outside world, you must first settle the inside. There is a prerequisite, and that is internal instability!

As long as Zhou Zheng really takes action, the court can turn the gun and give Zhou Zheng a few crimes, which will be enough for the court to redirect the world's attention to Zhou Zheng.

"People are forgetful. At that time, who would have thought that the real threat was Daxia outside?"

Zhou Zheng murmured to himself, saying this in a voice that only he could hear.

"If I take over General Zhengbei, do you know what the final result will be!?"

"I was sent directly to the Great Xia Kingdom. The Great Zhou Dynasty sacrificed me in exchange for the Great Xia Kingdom stopping the war."

When these words came out of Zhou Zheng's throat, he was a little trembling.

And these words made everyone present's heart beat faster and their expressions change!

because!

Before, no one thought it would end like this!

No one was thinking in this direction, but Zhou Zheng's words forced them to believe this reason.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the princes, the court, and even Emperor Tianjing all want to find an upright way to get rid of Zhou Zheng!

But this time, Daxia's troops came to the city, with an army of 300,000, a huge force!

It seems that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger!

But it is also an excellent opportunity for the imperial court to take action against Zhou Zheng!

"Is it true that the imperial court is not worried about the collapse of the country?"

"Could it be that, in the face of the righteousness of the family and the country, they would really do stupid things that put the cart before the horse?!"

Zhou Ping couldn't help it anymore. He clenched his fists, his voice trembled, and his tone was extremely serious.

Not only Zhou Ping, but also the Minister of War and other officials of the imperial court did not understand.

"Could it be possible? Do you really think that Daxia really dares to attack Zhou at all costs?"

"Both sides are just testing."

"As long as we can get what both sides want, we can't afford to fight this war."

Shaking his head, Zhou Zheng spoke in a deep voice.

No matter what kind of war it is, it only serves a purpose.

Daxia Kingdom cannot swallow this breath and wants to regain its position!

The Zhou Dynasty also could not lose face and could only bite the bullet.

Once the three kingdoms stand as a tripartite, it will be of no real benefit to anyone.

Neither the Great Xia Kingdom nor the Great Zhou Dynasty were ready for a decisive battle!

And to resolve this crisis, the key point lies in Zhou Zheng!

"As long as I die!"

"The princes, the entire court, and even Emperor Tianjing will all go along with the situation and feel relieved. This is what they hope to see."

"As long as I die."

"It can be said that there is an enemy and a debtor. Daxia has achieved its goal and will naturally withdraw its troops."

"This is the real point."

"This is also a win-win outcome for both parties."

At this moment, Zhou Zheng unabashedly and almost nakedly exposed the ugly face of the imperial court.

"So, what they need is a reason."

"What is needed is an above board reason."

"Whether I accept this imperial edict or not, I am destined to become a victim."

Slowly exhaling the turbid air from his chest, Zhou Zheng's voice became cold and sharp.

"In this case, how can the imperial court explain to the people of the world!?"

The Minister of War seems to be still struggling.

The others also had flashing eyes and complicated expressions.

"Confession!?"

"The court does not need to answer to anyone."

"If I refuse the imperial edict, I will kill you."

"That is treason and should be killed. It is consistent with both emotion and reason."

"The imperial court was able to kill the third prince before, so naturally it can also kill me."

Zhou Zheng shook his head and whispered.

"Accepting the order and becoming a general in the northern expedition means dying on the battlefield."

"When you come back, you will have a grand ceremony and a grand burial. The court will not suffer any loss."

Zhou Zheng's voice was very calm, but his clenched fists were already creaking from the exertion.

Everything is a trap laid out.

"Boss!?"

"No big deal, let's fight!"

Zhou Ping looked gloomy. He walked up to Zhou Zheng and roared in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Since the court is unwilling to give them a way to survive!

They, why don't they find a way out on their own? !
