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

The war in the north was fierce, and countless soldiers died in it.

The ground was stained red with blood, and corpses were strewn across the fields, a scene of tragedy.

Facing Daxia's army that was several times their own, the Zhenbei Army did not retreat even one step!

They used their own blood and lives to resist waves of attacks from Daxia Kingdom.

With the full assistance of King Runan, and with the help of the defensive power of the tall city wall and the power of the crossbows, they turned the situation around and stabilized the originally precarious situation.

Although we are still passive and in danger, so what? !

At least, it will delay Daxia's indomitable and overwhelming offensive and buy more time for the court.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Great Zhou court was surprisingly quiet.

From Zhou Zheng to the courtiers, they seemed unaware of the battle in the north and kept silent.

It seems that they have forgotten that the soldiers in the northern border are in dire straits at this time, and seem to have ignored that once Daxia breaks through the northern border, they will send their troops south to massacre the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Dazhou, the imperial palace, and the imperial study.

Emperor Tianjing's face was full of hesitation, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"Why isn't he anxious!?"

Standing with his hands behind his back, even Emperor Tianjing was a little anxious at this time.

"He should be anxious!"

Emperor Tianjing couldn't understand why Zhou Zheng could remain so calm now.

"Your Majesty, Sima Cheng is not going well in recruiting troops, and the princes and gentry in the world are not cooperating."

"Even if the King of Runan devotes all his resources to help the northern land, there is nothing he can do to save the situation."

Gu Qianfan continuously conveyed news from outside the palace to Emperor Tianjing.

But when he spoke, his expression was a little complicated.

As the commander of the Imperial City Division, Gu Qianfan's ability to discern things is far beyond what ordinary people can match.

He had already sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

"Your Majesty, with the prince's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for us to know the situation outside so easily."

"But now, whether it's sending information out or getting information from the outside, it seems to be easy."

"I'm afraid there's something wrong here."

After all, Gu Qianfan raised his doubts.

"How are they doing now?"

Emperor Tianjing frowned, and he naturally knew what Gu Qianfan was saying.

The people he was talking about were the aristocratic families and powerful princes whom Emperor Tianjing secretly asked Gu Qianfan to contact.

Calculating the time, once Daxia sends troops to attack, they will mobilize their troops to serve the king.

At that time, besiege Kyoto, reverse the situation, rescue Emperor Tianjing, and stabilize the overall situation again.

But a touch of uneasiness rose in Emperor Tianjing's heart.

Daxia has already sent troops to attack, so why is it so quiet within the Zhou Dynasty?

This is not normal.

"Reply to Your Majesty, all the letters that have been sent out have fallen into the sea and there is no news."

With a bitter smile, Gu Qianfan shook his head helplessly.

These aristocratic families and princes were powerful and had received favor from the emperor. They had sworn to be loyal to Emperor Tianjing.

However, at this critical moment, they pretended to be dumbfounded and did not respond at all, which really made Gu Qianfan feel sad.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Emperor Tianjing stood up suddenly, his face was gloomy and his expression changed drastically!

As an emperor of the generation, he knew better than anyone else that these powerful princes had no reason to support Zhou Zheng.

As long as the time is right, they will send troops to serve the king as soon as possible.

"It's Zhou Zheng!"

"It must be him!"

Clenching his fists, Emperor Tianjing's eyes flashed with coldness. This was the only possibility that could make these powerful princes dare not act rashly or even dare to respond to any signal.

"It seems that I still underestimate him."

Sitting on the dragon chair a little decadently, Emperor Tianjing closed his eyes slightly and stopped talking.

At this moment, the imperial study was deathly quiet.

"No wonder your information can be passed on, no wonder I can know everything that happens in the outside world through you..."

Emperor Tianjing muttered to himself, but it made Gu Qianfan's back numb and cold sweat broke out.

"Your Majesty, this servant is loyal to you."

Gritting his teeth, Gu Qianfan quickly kowtowed.

In his entire life, he had never betrayed or hesitated against Emperor Tianjing.

"I, of course, believe you."

"It's just that I didn't expect Zhou Zheng to be so cruel!"

"Killing people can only be done with a nod, he is trying to kill my heart!"

Clenching his fists, Emperor Tianjing roared lowly.

"His Majesty?"

Looking up, Gu Qianfan obviously didn't understand.

"He is clearly telling me that every move I make is under his control."

"He is clearly telling me that this world is no longer a world that I can mobilize."

"He told me openly that I would give up my desire for restoration!"

Emperor Tianjing slammed the teacup beside him to the ground with endless anger.

The clear voice spread, but unfortunately, no one came in outside the imperial study room.

It was so empty and so quiet that it gave people a creepy feeling of death.

"But, do you really think you can beat me?"

"wishful thinking!"

Emperor Tianjing stood up slowly. He stood at the door of the royal study, looking up at the rolling clouds in the sky, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.

"This world is my world!"

"If I cannot control this world, then there is no need for this world to exist."

"No one can get what I can't get!"

The cruel and crazy voice came from Emperor Tianjing's mouth, causing Gu Qianfan's body to shake violently.

His pupils were dilated, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Emperor Tianjing, what else do you want to do? !

"Without me showing up and calling on the people of the world to raise troops to fight against Xia, do you, Zhou Zheng, really think that relying on King Runan and the Zhenbei Army can resolve this crisis?!"

"wishful thinking!"

Laughed coldly.

"At that time, the Great Xia Kingdom's cavalry will trample across the land of Great Zhou. Countless people will be displaced, starved to death everywhere, and there will be countless corpses..."

"You, Zhou Zheng, are the sinner in the world!"

With a flick of his sleeves, Emperor Tianjing stopped talking.

"Wait until the Great Northern Territory is shattered and the Great Xia Kingdom drives its troops south, then send me the news."

After leaving these words, Emperor Tianjing turned and left.

He never thought that one day he would be so powerless.

But he is in no hurry!

When Daxia's cavalry rampaged, he wanted to see the despair on Zhou Zheng's face with his own eyes!

He wanted to tell Zhou Zheng personally that he was the sinner of Zhou Zheng!

There are too many words to write, and the sin is unforgivable!

......

Inside the East Palace.

Everything looks the same as usual!

Until a hurried figure staggered in.

"Prince, Gan Mo is back!"

After hearing these words, Zhou Zheng stood up from his seat with a groan, with a trace of nervousness on his face.

"Is he the only one?"

Zhou Zheng's voice trembled a little.

"Lord Gan Mo, we brought back someone."

"But it looks like the injury is extremely serious..."

Before the person who informed him had finished speaking, he saw Zhou Zheng standing up and staggering towards the outside.

......
