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

"Donate money?!"

Hearing these two words from Zhou Zheng's mouth, all the officials present were stunned, and then became speechless.

At this time, they finally understood why they felt a sense of ominousness in their hearts just now.

Regarding feelings, Zhou Zheng said he had a plan, which was to ask officials to donate money to fill the treasury?

Really, unheard of!

"My lords, you have all said that you will dedicate yourself to the imperial court."

"The imperial treasury is now empty. Not to mention the rewards issued by this palace to the soldiers, even the current normal operation of the imperial court is not completely sufficient."

"Why, when it comes to asking everyone to give a little bit, everyone is not willing?"

Looking coldly at the officials below, Zhou Zheng's tone began to become lower.

Feeling the chill, the officials quickly put away their speechless expressions, and then nodded in agreement.

"To share the worries of the imperial court, I will not hesitate to wait for you to serve as an official."

"However, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a baby who is waiting to be fed. In addition, the salary from the court is meager, so my daily life is very difficult."

"But for the sake of the imperial court, I am willing to sell it for two days and donate a thousand taels!"

The Minister of Civil Affairs gritted his teeth and took the lead in starting.

After setting an example, other officials also became cruel and came out one after another to express their intentions.

Everyone was talking a lot. At this moment, everyone was thinking in one place and working hard in another place.

Even if there are huge difficulties, they are willing to grit their teeth and stand firm. Some officials even want to donate their own coffins.

They talked about difficult things in their lives and even burst into tears.

But when he said that he was loyal to the court and risked everything, his eyes were firm and he looked righteous.

Not long after, all the officials in the court collected more than 30,000 taels of silver.

It can be said that this is a huge number.

Looking at the pretentious officials below, Zhou Zheng found it funny, but he had to say that their acting skills were still good.

"You're talking about integrity here with me, this is a trick, right?!"

"You are really ignorant."

His pupils shrank slightly. In Zhou Zheng's world, there once was a dynasty called the Ming Dynasty. The country was about to be destroyed. The emperor also asked the officials for money to prepare military supplies. Unfortunately, the officials complained that they were poor and nothing happened.

When Dashun entered the palace, Ming officials brought out more than 70 million taels of silver!

How similar is this scene now?

With a sneer, Zhou Zheng was not in a hurry to expose it.

"Bring Liu Fu up!"

Not long after Zhou Zheng's order came down, the imperial guards escorted Liu Fu to stand in the court hall.

Looking at the prime minister who was once inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, all the officials had a look of shock on their faces.

At this time, Liu Fu's hair was disheveled, his eyes were dull, and his body was covered with wounds. In serious places, bones could be seen, and they had even festered. He still had the aloof and unruly feeling from before.

Obviously, Liu Fu's life was not easy during this period.

Looking at their former immediate superiors, whether they recognized him or not, the ministers were silent and their hearts sank slightly.

"Zhou Zheng, you rebellious traitor!"

"kill me!"

"kill me!"

Zhou Zheng's figure slowly appeared in his eyes. Liu Fu seemed to have used his last bit of strength to roar towards Zhou Zheng.

The torture in prison made him miserable.

There is no way to survive. At this time, he can only seek death!

"There is Ye Tao before me, who seeks fame by dying."

"I killed his ten clans and fulfilled him!"

Looking at his former rival, Zhou Zheng smiled faintly.

"Since the Prime Minister is the head of the officials, even if he dies, he still needs to set an example for the officials."

Zhou Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his signature smile appearing on his face again.

But this smile was like a piercing sharp knife inserted deeply into Liu Fu's body, making him tremble continuously.

This sentence also shocked the hearts of all the civil and military officials present!

What does this mean? !

"Report!"

At this moment, a rapid voice came from outside the hall.

Then he saw Zhou Ping standing in the court with an excited face.

"Your Royal Highness, Liu Fu is an official of the imperial court and the head of hundreds of officials, but he is extremely corrupt. He sells his official position and his title, and there are countless corruptions!"

Zhou Ping pointed at Liu Fu and yelled at Zhou Zheng's nod!

"I personally led the troops and raided his mansion!"

"In addition to countless land and house deeds, there are also countless valuable jewelry!"

"We also found more than three million taels of silver and more than ten thousand taels of gold!"

As Zhou Ping said this number loudly, the smile on Zhou Zheng's face became more obvious.

After Liu Fu was stunned for a moment, despair appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that the rumor that Prime Minister Hefei is thin is not groundless."

Zhou Zheng soon adjusted the expression on his face and spoke without feeling sad.

"No wonder the imperial treasury is empty, no wonder the people are suffering!"

"Liu Fu, you are the prime minister of a country, but you are greedy. You really don't regret dying!"

When he was angry, Zhou Zheng pointed at Liu Fu and shouted angrily!

"Shang Shu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is so corrupt, what should Dazhou Law do!?"

Zhou Zheng turned his head and looked at the official minister to question him.

"When you return to the crown prince, you should ask for help..."

At this time, the official minister's face had already turned pale and he was breaking out in cold sweat.

He responded tremblingly, his body shaking uncontrollably.

"but......"

However, before the official finished what he said, Zhou Zheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand!

"Hmph, now that the treasury of our great Zhou Dynasty is empty, it is difficult for the court to run!"

"As a prime minister, you act so wantonly!"

"Let the world know that all of Liu Fu's property will be confiscated, he will withdraw from the Meridian Gate and beheaded, and at the same time kill the three clans to serve as a warning to others!"

As Zhou Zheng issued the order mercilessly, Zhou Ping escorted Liu Fu out on the spot.

However, Zhou Ping seemed to do it on purpose. He took Liu Fu away very slowly!

At this time, Liu Fu looked desperate.

He knew he would die.

But he didn't expect that he would die like this!

Not only were three clans wiped out, but he was also infamous!

From then on, what the world will remember is no longer Liu Fu’s loyalty and dedication!

They only remember that Liu Fu was greedy and enriched himself!

Killing and killing hearts, nothing more than this!

Zhou Zheng not only wants Liu Fu's life!

They also want Liu Fu’s money, and they also want Liu Fu’s name!

At this moment, Liu Fu was afraid. He kept begging for mercy, and the sound of wailing filled the court.

This struggle and despair was undoubtedly quite shocking and impactful to all the officials present.

When Liu Fu's voice dissipated, they were still immersed in it and had not come back to their senses.

"Three to five million is not a small number."

"Unfortunately, it seems it's still not enough."

Zhou Zheng frowned and muttered to himself.

When Baiguan heard these words, his body trembled suddenly.

Who can be in this court who is not a human being? !

At this time, they finally knew why Zhou Zheng didn't take action against them after supervising the country.

Love is waiting for them here!

grunt! ,

Thinking of Liu Fu's fate, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They broke out in cold sweat and their faces were bloodless.

"Your Majesty, I remembered that there should be some private treasures at home."

"My official is willing to add another 1.5 million taels of silver..."

"I am also willing to sell everything and raise another one million taels..."

"Your Majesty..."

For a while, the court official expressed his position again.

The number of donations is like a snowball, increasing like crazy.

"You are a little too young to play tricks on me."
