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

The whole country was recruiting troops during the Great Zhou Dynasty!

However, to everyone's surprise, it was not as popular as imagined.

Even the previous enthusiasm of everyone to risk their lives to serve as soldiers has dropped a lot.

In some places in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were signs that there were no troops left!

In the court hall, the ministers were speechless and everyone looked solemn.

Which official who can reach the court is not a smart person?

They know better than anyone else that with Zhou Zheng's current appeal across the country and his military policy, Zhou Zheng's recruitment of troops should respond to every call.

Why is there so little available now and progress so slow? !

It’s just because the resistance is too great!

And where these resistances come from, they know better than anyone else.

"Prince, I suggest you increase the salary of soldiers. Under the heavy rewards, there will be brave men!"

Many ministers loudly suggested that their attitude at this time was completely different from before, and they wished that the income of soldiers could be doubled and become a hot industry.

But these words made Zhou Zheng smile coldly and feel chilled!

How could he not see that these old ministers were seeking revenge at this moment?

Zhou Zheng had plundered a lot of money from them back then, and they still remembered this grudge.

This matter seemed to be a good idea, but in fact it pushed Zhou Zheng and the court into dire straits!

"Prince, I see that those unruly people are mean at heart!"

"For the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is their obligation to pay taxes!"

"In my opinion, it is better to just forcefully recruit troops. Anyone who dares not to obey will be killed without mercy!"

Another minister came out to offer advice.

But this suggestion was rejected on the spot by Mu Yun and others!

Are you kidding me? The reason why Zhou Zheng is where he is today and the reason why he is able to win the hearts and minds of the people all over the world is because he relies on the people all over the world and respects the people.

Once you do this, your hard-earned reputation will instantly fall to the bottom!

How is he different from the previous emperors? !

By then, not to mention the future unified position, even the current supervisory position may not be secure.

"Your Highness, the Zhenbei Army in the Northern Territory has regained some strength."

"With the North-Suppressing Army, even if all the elites of Daxia Kingdom come out, they will never be able to cross the northern border and march southward in a short time."

"We still have time!"

Mu Yun's words are quite pertinent. The current Zhenbei Hou is completely free to operate. Although the Zhenbei Army is not at its peak, it has recovered a lot of blood and is capable of fighting.

"Sima Cheng!"

After a long time, Zhou Zheng finally spoke.

"Chen is here!"

Sima Cheng looked serious and went out to kneel down.

"According to my decree, you personally recruit troops!"

"I want you to recruit 30,000 troops within half a month!"

"Remember, only the elite!"

Zhou Zheng's order resounded in the court, and Sima Cheng did not dare to neglect it and agreed on the spot.

But this order made many ministers confused. Obviously, what is the use of 30,000 elites? !

Facing Daxia's cavalry, they could only barely stop the opponent's invasion speed.

"Retreat from the court..."

Seemingly a little irritated, Zhou Zheng waved his hand and turned to leave.

Looking at Zhou Zheng's seemingly lonely back, many of the old ministers in the court also had a cold look in their eyes!

......

Imperial study room!

Zhou Zheng and Emperor Tianjing sat looking at each other.

This was the first time that Zhou Zheng's supervisor had direct contact with Emperor Tianjing again.

The surrounding air was very quiet, and neither of them spoke.

"I'm surprised that you stayed up until now and came to see me."

After a long time, Emperor Tianjing finally spoke.

His voice was calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, but there was clearly a trace of ripples in the deepest part of his pupils.

His words were not a greeting, but indeed an accident.

After Zhou Zheng completely seized power, Emperor Tianjing did not panic.

Because he knows better than anyone else that Zhou Zheng still has many doubts that cannot be solved.

Whether it's about Xiao Qing or Shadow.

He didn't expect that Zhou Zheng seemed to be indifferent or deliberately indifferent. Anyway, he never asked about any related matters.

What surprised him the most was that Zhou Zheng actually used Liu Fu's life to frighten the court officials.

But so what?

At least in the eyes of Emperor Tianjing, Zhou Zheng took the initiative to find him!

"You seem to have anticipated today's situation?"

Zhou Zheng slowly raised his head, his eyes slightly focused, and asked in a deep voice.

"nature."

"That position is not something you can sit firmly in if you want."

Nodding, Emperor Tianjing responded with a smile.

The world only knows that the throne is the supreme existence, but they don't know that that position is also full of dangers.

"This world is not the world you imagined."

"This court is not the court you imagined!"

It was rare for Emperor Tianjing to talk to Zhou Zheng so much at once today.

Returning to his dragon chair, he sat down leisurely and spoke slowly.

"You have the means, are decisive in killing, and can shock the world with your killings!"

"so what?!"

"Can you kill all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty? Can you kill everyone who opposes you in the world!?"

"You can never be killed."

Shaking his head, Emperor Tianjing said with a hint of contempt.

Zhou Zheng did not speak, his rare silence.

"Some things just need to be experienced."

"It turns out you're not fit to be in that position."

"Leaving with the last trace of dignity may be the best choice."

"Forcing it to the end will not only ruin your reputation, but also lead you to the abyss."

When Emperor Tianjing saw Zhou Zheng's silence, there was a hint of pride in the deepest part of his eyes.

Zhou Zheng's eloquent tongue, Zhou Zheng's high emotions, and Zhou Zheng's unyielding spirit all seemed to disappear at this moment.

He seemed to see Zhou Zheng's powerlessness and despair.

As the prince of the prison country, it is so sad to have such an empty name.

It seemed that Zhou Zheng had won the war, but the facts proved that he had completely lost!

"So, you arranged all this?"

Zhou Zheng had already confirmed what he was thinking from Emperor Tianjing's words.

Emperor Tianjing also did not deny it.

"The one who loses is not me, it's always you."

Seeing that Emperor Tianjing looked a little proud at this time, Zhou Zheng sighed.

"Your layout is nothing more than a dragon's chair in the court."

"Being obsessed with the art of imperial power is the greatest pity."

Zhou Zheng's tone was indifferent. Emperor Tianjing's clichés seemed to him to have no meaning or value.

"My structure is no longer the imperial court, let alone the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the whole world, the whole world."

"The decision is made between high and low."

Zhou Zheng turned around, leaving the somewhat dazed Emperor Tianjing in place.

"Do you think that the obstruction of those princes, squires and local powerful people can stop me from recruiting troops?"

"Do you think that the invasion of Daxia by the whole country will make me retreat in fear?"

"Do you think that the intertwined forces of the old officials in the DPRK and the world can make me depressed and desperate?!"

"you!"

"You underestimate me!"

Zhou Zheng's back paused slightly, but his words kept coming!

"I came here this time just to tell you something!"

"Your world has finally come to an end, and my time is coming!"

"Do you know why?"

"because!"

"I have a sword!"

"It can change destiny, reshape the world, shock the common people, and be powerful all over the world!"

"This sword is called Tianxia!"

"Whoever blocks me, kill!"
