As soon as the word "recruitment" was uttered, everyone's expression changed.

Who would have thought that Chen Duo would propose surrender at this time? !

Who would have thought that the person he proposed to recruit would be King Yong of Zhou? !

You know, as long as the ancient aristocratic families stand on the side of the royal family, on the side of Emperor Tianjing, and on the side of the court, victory is a foregone conclusion.

No matter how powerful Zhou Zheng is, no matter how many assassins follow him, the final outcome will not change.

What they have to do is to take this opportunity to kill all those who have stood on the opposite side and those who are desperate to overthrow the court!

But now, Chen Duo not only did not think about killing them all, but instead wanted to recruit them!

It would have been fine if he had just offered amnesty, but the target had to be King Yong of Zhou.

You know, King Zhou Yong is not just a prince, he is also Zhou Ping's father and Zhou Zheng's die-hard supporter!

He turned a deaf ear to the court's orders, but he was determined to carry out Zhou Zheng's orders.

In the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court, such people are doomed to die.

How can he survive?!

"Humph!"

"What does Minister Chen mean by this?! Could it be that you have a rebellious heart?!"

The Prime Minister and others could no longer endure it. Now with the addition of the five ancient aristocratic families, they no longer needed Chen Duo.

But now, Chen Duo not only wants 10 million taels, but also wants to recruit King Zhou Yong. This is simply unacceptable to all officials.

You have to know that all the dignitaries and powerful people in the world hate Zhou Zheng so much that they want to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!

They wanted to get rid of anyone related to Zhou Zheng as soon as possible.

No one was willing to let King Zhou Yong go.

Moreover, they knew better than anyone that if Zhou Zheng won this time, they would not believe that King Zhou Yong would be merciful and let them go.

The two sides have long been mortal enemies, and coexistence is simply impossible!

If King Zhou Yong was really recruited, it would chill the hearts of all the civil and military officials in the court, and it would disappoint the people of the world.

The accusations from the ministers made Emperor Tianjing frown. He leaned forward slightly and looked at Chen Duo with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He naturally trusted Chen Duo and valued Chen Duo even more.

But now, Chen Duo's suggestion also found it difficult for him to accept.

After all, Emperor Tianjing had been imprisoned in the palace by Zhou Zheng for several years, and King Zhou Yong not only never thought of rescuing him, he didn't even visit him.

Once upon a time, Emperor Tianjing thought that King Yong of Zhou was a soft-hearted person, so he let him live.

But King Zhou Yong did not know how to be grateful, and even stood on the side of the person he hated the most, which made Emperor Tianjing unable to let it go.

He had sworn long ago that he would make King Zhou Yong pay the price in this life.

Let everyone who has betrayed you pay the price!

"No, no."

Chen Duo shook his head and looked at the officials indifferently. Not only was there no anger on his face, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

In his opinion, the officials in the court had extremely low IQs, extremely narrow visions, and negligible vision.

If the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was composed of such a group of civil officials and military generals, what would happen if the entire Great Zhou Dynasty won this time with the help of the power of the five ancient aristocratic families? !

Decline is inevitable.

"Your Majesty, with the help of the five ancient families, we will certainly win."

"But is this the way Your Majesty wants to see the victory?"

Finally, Chen Duo spoke.

He raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Tianjing, with a hint of solemnity in his words.

But this question made everyone feel a little weird.

Since ancient times, victors have been kings and losers have been bandits, and history has always been written by the victors.

All they want is to win!

All they want is to win; they don't care about the process, means or methods.

"My dear, what do you mean?"

Finally, Emperor Tianjing couldn't help but ask.

The official in front of him, whom he had single-handedly promoted, always gave him a feeling of confusion and a sense of authority.

"What we are pursuing now is no longer a winning result."

"What we are pursuing now is to win beautifully, and ideally, to turn this win into an art."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Duo's words became more serious and cautious.

"The emergence of the five ancient families can certainly turn the situation around, but if too many people die, who will support the court?!"

"If we make those who follow Zhou Zheng lose hope of survival, they will fight to the death."

"Let's not talk about the loss to the imperial court. Even if we win, does our Great Zhou still have young and strong men to fight against Great Xia and Great Yuan?"

Chen Duo's voice was loud and clear, like a bucket of cold water poured down in an instant, making all the officials present feel their scalps tingling.

They only thought about winning, but they didn't know that a desperate dog will do something desperate.

If those people knew that they were doomed to die, what would they do? !

The entire Great Zhou will fall into complete chaos.

The final victory was nothing but a scorched earth.

But this land not only has the Great Zhou, but also the Great Yuan and the Great Xia!

At this moment, the ministers breathed rapidly, and their eyes began to sparkle again as they looked at Chen Duo.

Just now, they were too excited, even with strong personal emotions, so they ignored the core point.

Emperor Tianjing also nodded imperceptibly.

As an emperor, he also had his hair standing on end for a moment.

Today, if Chen Duo hadn't reminded him, he would have really made a huge mistake.

The most terrifying thing in this world is never the enemy, but the enemy who fights to the death knowing that it is a dead end.

"As for King Zhou Yong, recruiting him is of even greater significance."

Seeing the change in everyone's attitude, Chen Duo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, without much pause, continue with the explanation.

"As long as King Zhou Yong surrenders to the imperial court, how many people do you think will continue to stand on Zhou Zheng's side?!"

"On the one hand, destroying one's heart is far more severe than killing one's life. King Zhou Yong's surrender is a destruction of Zhou Zheng's heart and those who followed Zhou Zheng."

"On the other hand, it also demonstrates the attitude of the imperial court. Anyone who has lost his way and returned to the right path will be given a chance to live."

"Finally, it shows that your Majesty's heart is generous and kind, and it nourishes the world again."

Chen Duo's mouth corners raised.

Every word here is very important and convinces many people.

"The most important thing is that this process will allow the five ancient aristocratic families to see the differences in the imperial court."

"Let the five great ancient families know that the imperial court is not an empty shell. Let them see that the imperial court still has capabilities and capable people!"

Buzz! ! !

The last sentence made everyone's heads buzz and their hearts wrinkle!

The five great ancient families!

What matters most is never who is the emperor or who is at the helm of the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

What they care about are only two words: value!
