Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.
Chapter 862 The court has a purpose
The killing lasted for three full days in Kyoto.
Hundreds of civil and military ministers were taken to the Meridian Gate and beheaded in public display.
Along with them, there were people from the three tribes.
It can be said that in these three days, blood flowed like rivers in Kyoto, and countless people watched.
When these ministers who once showed off their power and arrogance were actually faced with death, they were even more panicked than ordinary death row prisoners.
They kept begging for mercy and wailing, but to no avail.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the air throughout Kyoto was stained with blood red. The smell of blood in the air became even more intense and pungent.
The executioners were changed one after another.
The chopping knife was used to cut and roll one handle after another.
But the killing never stops.
It wasn't until Zhou Fan was taken to the execution ground that the eyes of the ordinary people who had already looked dull began to shine with a trace of light.
The prince is the most noble being in the Great Zhou Dynasty, second only to Emperor Tianjing.
Unexpectedly, he was also beheaded now.
Even though there was the third prince Zhou Qiao in front of him, when Zhou Fan was taken to the execution ground, there was also a slight commotion among the people.
Looking at the people watching, feeling the ferocious look of the Supervising Officer, and seeing the coldness of the Supervising Sword, Zhou Fan turned pale, and a sense of panic and fear rose from the soles of his feet.
He never thought that as the eldest son of the emperor, he would end up like this.
Her head was in a different place and she was beheaded in public. The court did not leave her even the last shred of her dignity.
Even when Zhou Fan was imprisoned, his name was directly erased from the clan mansion.
In other words, after death, Zhou Fan cannot be included in the family tree and can only become a lonely ghost, reincarnated.
He looked desperate and his heart was filled with hatred.
He knew that all of this was due to Zhou Zheng. If it weren't for Zhou Zheng, how could he have fallen to such a miserable end! ?
If it weren't for Zhou Zheng, he might even be the future emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a person who could leave a lasting name in this world.
But he was defeated, completely defeated!
His ears were filled with the comments of the people watching, and he gritted his teeth to prevent the fear in his heart from being revealed.
Zhou Fan stretched out his head and slowly closed his eyes, trying his best to look calm.
This is his last dignity!
Before death, the only thing you can do is to stop yourself from being embarrassed.
"cut!"
As the supervisor finished speaking, Zhou Fan's body was separated and his head fell to the ground.
But unlike Zhou Qiao before, no people rushed forward to collect Zhou Fan's blood.
After all, having been stripped of his family tree, Zhou Fan is now just an ordinary person, and the blood in his body cannot be considered dragon blood.
Everyone sighed, with complicated eyes.
But there was no look of sympathy on anyone's face.
"Your Highness..."
A somewhat rickety body stood in a hidden place in a teahouse not far away, speaking to a man without hesitation.
The person standing in front of the old man was Zhou Ting.
Seeing that the eldest prince, who had once been in tit-for-tat with him, was dead and in a different place, his fists clenched involuntarily.
Once, they were rivals, their biggest rivals, and the most promising contenders for the future throne, but they all lost in the end, to Zhou Zheng.
The difference is that Zhou Ting admits defeat and admits defeat!
He had already taken the initiative to withdraw from the fight for the throne. In order to protect himself, he even stayed away from the government.
As for Zhou Fan, he was unwilling to give in and kept struggling.
It's just the final ending that makes people sigh.
"Would the prince know how to kill everyone..."
After pondering slightly, the old man still looked worried.
This killing was the most serious since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. It was almost a bloodbath!
The people clapped their hands and applauded, but many royal relatives and nobles were trembling now.
How could they not see that Zhou Zheng was conducting a major purge! ?
Anyone who disobeys will be killed!
Anyone who resists will be killed!
Anyone with different intentions will be killed!
But after the court cleansing, will Zhou Zheng really stop? !
What if Zhou Zheng continues to raise the butcher knife and swing it at them?
"How about we do it?"
Gritting his teeth, the old man finally expressed his inner thoughts.
"Do it!? What do you think our chances of winning are? 10% or 0%?"
Zhou Ting smiled bitterly.
This rhetorical question caused the old man to fall into silence again.
"Could it be that we can only surrender without mercy?!"
His heart was full of reluctance, but his face was filled with panic.
"Although the prince's methods are ruthless, he is not cruel."
"Brother, if you weren't too impatient and didn't put all your efforts into it, you wouldn't have fallen to this level."
After a long time, Zhou Ting sighed softly and then shook his head.
"Since there is no chance of taking action, what's the point of taking action?!"
Zhou Ting's words made the old man remain silent.
"That location is where countless blood and bones accumulate."
"I don't have the ability, nor the opportunity."
With dim eyes, Zhou Ting said slowly.
His words made the old man's eyes dim. He knew that Zhou Ting had given up completely.
Perhaps not only Zhou Ting, but all the princes have given up.
In the future, who else in the Great Zhou Dynasty would dare to compete with Zhou Zheng for the throne? !
"I hope that with Da Zhou in his hands, things will be different in the future."
The old man said quietly.
"Not long."
"The imperial court has been moving a lot these past two days. Officials from the Ministry of Rites have been busy day and night, and the capital's security has also increased a lot."
"I'm afraid things are going to change."
When Zhou Ting's words reached the old man's ears, his body began to tremble again.
How can the current Great Zhou be changed! ?
If there must be one, it is the throne!
"Does the prince really want to take that step?"
The pupils suddenly dilated, the old man's voice trembled, and his body shook extremely.
Regicide and patricide are infamy throughout the ages!
"Do you really think that the prince will care about his reputation in future generations?"
"If he cared, he wouldn't be here today and would have died in our hands."
He responded bitterly, and the old man felt a cool air coming from the soles of his feet to the sky.
If it is as Zhou Ting thinks, things will really change for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Meanwhile, within Kyoto.
The faces of the aristocratic families, royal relatives and nobles all looked extremely heavy and gloomy.
They were lucky enough to survive this bloodbath, and no one dared to act rashly.
But the changes in Kyoto are still visible!
This change made the uneasiness in their hearts almost reach the extreme.
Everyone had a premonition that something was wrong.
Just when they were anxious and thinking secretly about the method, the decree from the palace came out!
There are only two words: "Enter the palace!"
