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

For the Zhou generals, sacrifices and state funerals!

Fire cannons, observe silence, bow and pay tribute to those soldiers who died fighting to defend our country!

The prince takes the lead, and all the officials follow!

The etiquette is profound, tell the world!

The news spread to every corner of the Zhou Dynasty. On this day, the whole country was shocked.

All the soldiers were shocked in their hearts, excited in their faces, and had complicated emotions!

Whether it was the Zhenbei Army in the northern region, the soldiers guarding the border, or other soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, everyone was moved by it and moved by it!

That night, almost all the soldiers and generals, no matter where they were, no matter what their positions were, no matter where they were, could not sleep.

Everyone, looking in the direction of Kyoto through the moonlight, had not slept for a long time!

At this moment, Zhou Zheng's name was deeply imprinted in their minds, and countless people silently chanted it in their hearts.

Since ancient times, princes have seized the throne, and dynasties have changed since ancient times. These are just games played by a few people!

All the people in the world are just chess pieces, soldiers, generals and warriors are just weapons.

Use it if you use it, throw it away!

They are nothing more than ants in history, never leaving any shadow.

But this time the sacrifice and state funeral completely changed.

They begin to have their own value and their own meaning.

And all this is because of Zhou Zheng!

At the same time, court orders began to be issued one after another.

In the army, rewards are based on merit and no longer based on status or bloodline!

Reward brave generals generously, reward gold and silver treasures, grant fertile land, and confer officials and titles!

Give the soldiers and generals who sacrificed their lives for the country a loving burial and provide compensation to their families!

Every order was enough to shock the world, and even moved the soldiers of Great Zhou!

This is far from over!

Zhou Zheng ordered that the day of the state funeral be designated as the Army Day of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

This is a special festival that belongs exclusively to the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

For a time, the entire country's soldiers were shocked, their hearts were burning, and they were full of gratitude to Zhou Zheng.

The former soldiers and generals were just the last destination of the desperate people.

They fought on the battlefield without dignity, and were treated as chess pieces and tools of the court like machines, just to barely have enough to eat.

But now the situation has changed drastically!

People in the world are beginning to have the idea of ​​joining the army!

Countless people began to encourage their children to join the army, fight for Zhou Zheng, and fight for the country!

but!

Different from the common people and soldiers and generals in the world, at this time, all the officials in the imperial court had complicated expressions and solemn expressions.

Imperial study room!

"Your Majesty, the great Zhou soldiers and generals all respect Zhou Zheng."

"The princes and local dignitaries from all over the country are temporarily unable to command the troops of the Qinwang."

Gu Qianfan knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing and carefully reported the news from the outside world to Emperor Tianjing.

Today's Emperor Tianjing has long been ignored, and there are not many palace maids and servants left around him.

Apart from Gu Qianfan, there were barely any servants left to take care of Emperor Tianjing.

Compared with the scenery of the past, it is simply a huge difference and cannot be compared to the same scenery.

But Emperor Tianjing didn’t care!

After all, when a tree falls, the monkey will scatter.

As an emperor of a generation, he knew very well the principle of keeping a low profile and biding his time.

The only thing he needs to do now is to wait quietly!

however!

Gu Qianfan's few simple words made Emperor Tianjing's expression extremely ugly.

He frowned, and the brush he was holding tightly was broken on the spot due to the force in his hand!

Emperor Tianjing thought he already looked up to Zhou Zheng!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng still underestimated Zhou Zheng’s methods!

I thought so what if Zhou Zheng was in charge of the country? !

As long as he is still alive, troops everywhere will still serve the king.

When the time is right, he can control the situation and regain control of everything!

But who would have thought that Zhou Zheng would win the hearts of soldiers all over the world with just one state funeral!

How could this make him willing?

Feeling the change in Emperor Tianjing's aura and the invisible anger sweeping through him, Gu Qianfan could only sigh softly, and then buried his head deeper.

Even he was impressed by Zhou Zheng's state funeral method!

What's more, those soldiers who have never been respected? !

At this time, who dares to raise his arms and raise his troops to serve the king and strangle Zhou Zheng?

Zhou Zheng didn't even need to take action to suppress it. The soldiers and generals alone would take the initiative and kidnap the leaders and hand them over to the court.

Could it be that Emperor Tianjing was really completely defeated?

Clenching his teeth, the despair in his heart became even stronger.

"Hahaha!"

"If Heaven wants to make people die, it must first make them mad!"

"Does Zhou Zheng think he is smart?"

"These so-called means to appease the soldiers and generals of the world are nothing more than expedient measures!"

"And in the end, he must suffer the consequences!"

Suddenly, Emperor Tianjing's pupils expanded and he laughed loudly with a sneer on his face.

And these words made Gu Qianfan's mind suddenly clear up.

Because the art of the emperor is definitely not about showing mercy to the world!

......

Royal Palace, Chongde Hall!

"Your Highness, the national treasury is empty, and the silver that can be taken out is only more than seven million taels."

"Today, if we want to reward the soldiers heavily and provide compensation to the families of the soldiers who died in battle, the court is really powerless."

The Minister of Revenue did not shirk responsibility, he looked helpless.

Other officials also bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Your Highness, during the turmoil in Kyoto, houses were damaged, city walls were broken, and the buildings in the palace also need to be repaired."

"It probably requires more than five million taels of silver."

The Minister of Industry also stood up and spoke bitterly.

"Your Highness, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is now empty. Except for the Zhenbei Army, there are almost no elites left to fight."

"The pressure on the border guards has increased sharply, and thieves from all over the country are ready to take action."

"The Ministry of War wants to gradually recruit troops, but it also urgently needs money."

The Minister of War stepped out of the queue cautiously and spoke in a low voice as well.

Afterwards, almost all officials in the dynasty began to complain about their difficulties.

Large amounts of expenditure, ranging from millions to millions, are all required for the normal operation of the Xiaodao court and require financial support.

In short, in one sentence, if the court has no money, they can't do anything.

Zhou Zheng listened quietly to the complaints of these officials. He stood in front of the dragon chair and his eyes slowly glanced below.

But no official dared to look at Zhou Zheng.

"so what?"

"My lords, is there any way!?"

Zhou Zheng stood with his hands behind his hands, his face expressionless, and he spoke unhurriedly.

"Prince, I suggest that we suspend the heavy rewards for the soldiers and the compensation for the families of the dead soldiers."

"When the tax collection is over in the coming year and the court has excess money, it will be cashed out gradually in batches."

"This will also give the court a chance to breathe."

Feeling Zhou Zheng's eyes falling directly on him, Shangshu Hube could only bite the bullet and speak.

It's a pity that he regretted this so-called method as soon as he opened his mouth.

Because he clearly felt the deep coldness and coldness in Zhou Zheng's gaze above him!

Immediately, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

As for other officials, they bowed their heads and remained silent.

"After all, it's just a matter of money."

“Problems that can be solved with money are never problems.”

"I have a plan to relieve the imperial court's treasury needs."

Suddenly, Zhou Zheng looked at the many officials present with a smile on his face.

And this smile made everyone feel a bit uneasy!
