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

Empty court, noisy palace!

Emperor Tianjing sat slumped on the dragon chair in despair, his eyes dull, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, why did you let them go!?"

"They all deserve to die!"

Gu Qianfan was kneeling loyally in front of Emperor Tianjing, with anger and confusion in his eyes.

He was angry, angry that these officials would abandon the court and Emperor Tianjing at a critical moment.

What he didn't understand or explain was why Emperor Tianjing would indulge them with his temperament.

Even though he knew that these officials were just going out to surrender in the name of escort, he still ignored them and kept them.

Gu Qianfan has followed Emperor Tianjing for so many years, and he knows Emperor Tianjing’s temperament better than anyone else!

This is an existence that absolutely kills without blinking an eye!

Zhou Zheng's methods were ruthless, he could attack the palace with fire, and he could use their clansmen as the price of threats.

But Emperor Tianjing's cruelty was more direct and decisive.

In the beginning, in order to sit on this throne, Emperor Tianjing lost countless people.

"Why don't you leave?!"

Finally, Emperor Tianjing slowly straightened his back, looked at Gu Qianfan below, and asked in a deep voice.

"This old slave's life has always been His Majesty's."

Gu Qianfan's words were not words of honor, nor were they intended to gain Emperor Tianjing's favor.

But from the moment he became the commander of the Imperial City, he never thought of betraying Emperor Tianjing!

Even though the situation is over now!

He has never regretted it and will never regret it!

With their eyes facing each other, Emperor Tianjing stared intently at Gu Qianfan's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his entire being.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, and he could even faintly hear Gu Qianfan's breathing.

After several breaths, Emperor Tianjing finally had a smile on his face.

He didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes.

"If you don't follow me wholeheartedly now, Gu Qianfan, I will remember it."

This senseless statement left Gu Qianfan a little confused.

"Another decree!"

"Xuan, Zhou Zheng comes to the Hajj to see you."

Slowly exhaling the turbid air from his chest, Emperor Tianjing straightened his spine again. The melancholy and paleness on his face disappeared, replaced by a peaceful expression.

This kind of peace is incompatible with the rebellion outside.

It was as if Emperor Tianjing had never really cared.

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was hidden in Emperor Tianjing's gourd, Gu Qianfan hesitated a little and still gave the order.

......

outside the palace.

The gate of the palace is open!

Countless palace servants and guards swarmed out.

Their clothes were disheveled and their hair was disheveled. They were crying and crying. After leaving the palace gate, they knelt down directly towards Zhou Zheng.

However, none of them had weapons in their hands, and they seemed to be surrendering.

This scene surprised Zhou Ping and others.

They thought that what Zhou Zheng said before about giving the palace an hour was just a redundant move, but they never expected that everything was exactly as Zhou Zheng expected. Not only did the resistance in the palace not continue, it was even developing in the direction they expected. .

Once some people force the door open and surrender, this situation will become a chain reaction.

Soon, people escaped one after another.

They all raised their hands and stopped dozens of feet away from Zhou Zheng and others.

Seeing more and more imperial guards and palace servants emerging, the army behind Zhou Zheng became a little nervous.

The repeating crossbows in their hands were aimed at the people kneeling on the ground. If anyone dared to make any move, the sharp arrows would mercilessly shoot through their bodies, killing them on the spot!

"It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

Zhou Zheng looked at this scene indifferently. He spoke softly and his expression did not change much.

Now the situation in the palace is over. Although there are 300,000 King Qin's troops outside, it is almost impossible to capture the city from King Runan without knowing the situation inside the capital and without understanding the changes in the palace.

As these people surrendered, the excitement in the eyes of Zhou Ping, Lei Tong and others became more and more obvious.

Because the last major force in the palace is the Imperial Guard!

But now many of the Imperial Guards have surrendered, which means that the last layer of defense of the palace is no longer worth mentioning.

Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, his eyes flickered and his attention was still on the palace.

He asked the elite behind him to tie up the guards and slaves who came out to surrender.

And he is still waiting!

"Boss, will those courtiers really follow suit and surrender!?"

Zhou Ping was a little unsure.

Even if the courtiers were willing, in his opinion, Emperor Tianjing would never agree given his temperament.

But not long after, he saw a court official wearing official robes, staggering towards the outside of the palace.

They trotted all the way, constantly taking off their official robes.

Wearing only close-fitting clothes, it seems that they want to tell Zhou Zheng that they are not a threat, and they also seem to want to tell Zhou Zheng that they have severed relations with the imperial court!

Such a scene made everyone raise their eyebrows and their expressions became much more solemn.

As more and more civil and military officials came out to surrender, Zhou Ping could no longer hold his nerve.

"Boss, these guys deserve to be killed!"

"On weekdays, they claim to be loyal ministers of the imperial court and dedicated to serving the country, but now it seems that they are just people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

The disgust in Zhou Ping's eyes was undisguised.

He could accept begging for mercy from the imperial guards and the servants in the palace.

After all, these are poor people who are just trying to survive.

But officials are different. They eat the emperor's salary, but betray the emperor at critical moments!

If such officials are allowed to live, wouldn't it be a disaster?

Today, they can betray Emperor Tianjing, and they can betray Zhou Zheng in the future!

Thinking of this, Gong Tan and others also had murderous intent on their faces, and they wanted to kill them.

Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, frowned, with a trace of confusion on his face.

"Do you really think Emperor Tianjing has such good intentions!?"

Shaking his head and sighing, Zhou Zheng stared at the majestic palace in front of him, with a hint of surprise deep in his eyes.

An uneasy feeling quietly rose in my heart.

“Boss, aren’t you scared?!”

Seeing Zhou Zheng like this, Zhou Ping's mouth twitched a little, and he asked softly with an uncertain look.

"The matter has come to this, and there is no turning back."

Slowly exhaling a puff of turbid air, Zhou Zheng raised his head, opened his eyes, and was determined!

Now, this action is no longer his alone!

Success or failure depends on this move, Zhou Zheng has no way out!

After hearing Zhou Zheng's words, Zhou Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.

Success or failure depends on this!

"The decree has arrived!"

"Xuan!"

"Zhou Zheng comes to the palace to see you!"

At this moment, Gu Qianfan's voice suddenly came from the palace.

And this holy metaphor without warning made everyone feel a little bit bad!
