Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.
Chapter 676 Righteousness
Traitor and traitor!
Lose power and humiliate the country!
These eight harsh characters were like sharp knives, piercing into Liu Fu's chest.
His face suddenly turned pale, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out on the spot!
"Old minister, you are dedicated to serving the country, working diligently and with a clear conscience!"
With his body trembling, Liu Fu pointed at Zhou Zheng, his face full of sullenness and resentment.
The leader of hundreds of officials was so humiliated by Zhou Zheng today in front of hundreds of thousands of people!
How could he bear it! ?
Fame and fortune are what all literati pursue throughout their lives.
Recognition from future generations and leaving a name for the ages are what they are determined to pursue.
But what Zhou Zheng said today completely stopped his idea of leaving his name forever, and he might even be nailed to a pillar of shame by future generations!
He was unwilling to accept it, and he couldn't accept Zhou Zheng's fabrication!
"What a man who is dedicated to serving his country and has a clear conscience!?"
"Then let me ask you!"
"Why should we give Daxia a million taels of silver every year!?"
"Did you know that there are still people in Zhou Dynasty who don't have enough food to eat and don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies?! Bones are frozen to death on the road, it's common!?"
"Did you know that millions of silver taels, countless silk cloths, porcelain and tea leaves were all squeezed out by the imperial court's exorbitant taxes on the people?"
"I'll ask you again!"
"Why do you think it's about teeth?"
"If future emperors are younger than the Great Xia Kingdom, wouldn't it mean that the Great Xia Kingdom is our brother and I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are our younger brothers?"
"As a scholar, don't you know that elders are brothers?"
"As Prime Minister, don't you know the power of this?! Don't you know that this undoubtedly makes it possible for Daxia to become the country of my father and brother in the Great Zhou Dynasty?!"
"This is not about losing power and humiliating the country. This is not about betraying the country and seeking glory. What is this!?"
Zhou Zheng pointed at Liu Fu and asked loudly.
Every word is sonorous and powerful, and every sentence is powerful.
He didn't care at all about Liu Fu's identity, and he didn't even know that Liu Fu looked deathly pale and vomited blood.
"In the three hundred years since the founding of our country, Zhou Dynasty, has there ever been such a ridiculous thing?!"
"The emperors of the past generations have not been afraid of life and death, and have succeeded one after another. The purpose is to make me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, independent from this world, so that I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, can truly hold my head high, not to recognize other countries as the country of my father and brother!"
"The sages of my generation have spent their whole lives in order to enable the people of the Zhou Dynasty to hold their heads high and live with dignity and backbone."
“It’s not for people from other countries to be arrogant and show off their power on our territory!”
"I, Mr. Zhou, am loyal to the imperial court, fearless of life and death, and defend my family and country. I am not doing this to make you little thieves betray the country and beg for mercy!"
Zhou Zheng's voice became louder and louder, and every word he spoke seemed to use up all the strength of his body.
"You keep saying you are doing it for the country and the people!"
"Then have you ever asked everyone in the world if they are willing to sign this imperial city covenant?!"
Zhou Zheng turned around, looked at the crowd around him, and asked loudly.
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
The crowd was agitated, hundreds of thousands of people, almost speaking in unison.
Their fists are clenched, their eyes are firm, and their words are persistent!
They are greedy for life, and they are also afraid of death!
But they never want to live in humiliation, and they never want the enemy to step on their personality and trample on it wantonly!
At this moment, no one hesitates, no one is even slow, and no one is afraid!
The huge sound turned into a huge wave, sweeping across Kyoto and covering the entire imperial city!
The deafening sound not only resounded throughout the world, but also revealed the determination and thoughts in the hearts of all the people.
This imperial city covenant!
They don't want to sign it!
"Liu Fu!"
"Did you hear it?!"
"This is the voice of the people, this is the voice of my people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is the voice of the people of the world!"
At this time, Zhou Zheng was also excited inside.
"Reverse, it's all reversed!"
For a while, Liu Fu didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His body was trembling, he angrily scolded the countless people below, he was angry.
How dare these ant-like untouchables do this!
"Who dares to disobey the imperial decree?!"
"Even if you are a prince, don't be arrogant and unscrupulous!"
"Come on!"
His eyes were extremely sinister. From the moment Zhou Zheng appeared, Liu Fu knew that this matter would not be that simple.
I just didn't expect that Zhou Zheng would dare to incite people's emotions in public and try to terminate the signing of the covenant!
No, this is absolutely not allowed!
"If the fourth prince dares to speak arrogant words again, he will be disobeyed and taken down immediately!"
Liu Fu couldn't bear it anymore and asked the palace guards to take action.
Hundreds of people, holding long knives in their hands, pointed at Zhou Zheng and slowly forced them away.
The horse under the crotch was also a little disturbed at this time, swinging its limbs uneasily, and the horse's hooves kept sliding on the ground.
And this scene made the faces of the people watching change drastically.
"Brothers, even if I die, I will protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"That's right, whoever dares to attack His Royal Highness, we will fight to the death with him today!"
Someone in the crowd shouted!
Immediately, they saw the people stepping forward in unison, using their bodies to form a wall in front of Zhou Zheng!
"If you want to touch His Highness, kill us!"
"If you want to touch His Highness, just step over our corpses!"
Although there were hundreds of men without weapons, they linked arms and formed an iron row, lying in front of Zhou Zheng.
At this moment, although their bodies were trembling and their faces showed fear, their expressions were extremely determined.
They were afraid of the imperial court, and even more afraid of the weapons in the hands of these guards.
But they know even more that today’s covenant must not be signed!
If we really sign the contract, ten years later, thirty years later, or fifty years later, we may not be able to stand up.
Thinking about his future life, he would become a slave-like existence in the eyes of the Great Xia Kingdom.
They never want to!
I would rather die!
Today, only Zhou Zheng stood up regardless of everything, and only Zhou Zheng risked his life to prevent the signing of the covenant!
If they can't protect Zhou Zheng today, if they let Zhou Zheng fight alone now!
Then, they will not only have sleepless nights in the future, but will be tortured by their own conscience.
From now on, no one will dare to tell the truth, and no one will dare to be so desperate!
Seeing this scene, Liu Fu froze on the spot.
Those in awe who came out with knives and were ready to take action also felt their hearts sink.
As for Zhou Zheng, when he looked at the people standing in front of him, forming a human wall, his emotions fluctuated and his eyes became a little moist.
Perhaps these people are short-sighted and do not know right from wrong.
Perhaps these people are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are illiterate.
But this moment!
Zhou Zheng saw a trace of righteousness in them!
This kind of righteousness is not found in the civil and military officials of the DPRK, and is not found in the dignitaries!
this moment!
Zhou Zheng was full of respect for these people!
