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

"Who is outside the hall?!"

The cold, low growl made Chen Duo's hatred even more abrupt.

"The Imperial Envoy of the Great Zhou, Minister of Rites Chen Duo!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Duo straightened his spine and even suppressed the panic in his heart.

He knew that he couldn't be cowardly at this moment!

Once we bow down at this moment, the next task will be really difficult to carry out.

"Da Zhou?!"

"Is it the Great Zhou of Emperor Tianjing, or the Great Zhou of His Majesty Zhou Zheng?"

A roar suddenly echoed in the inner hall.

There was no reservation at all, it was simply a naked rebuke, which made Chen Duo unable to help but raise his head.

At this moment he finally saw clearly that the person who asked the question this time was an old man sitting at the top of the inner hall.

He has flowing white beard, eyes as sharp as torches, and a voice as loud as a bell!

As soon as this question was asked, everyone in the room looked at Chen Duo.

Although there were no words, the gaze in those eyes carried an oppressive feeling that was difficult to avoid, making Chen Duo feel a sense of depression spreading from the depths of his soul.

Gulu gulu!

Chen Duo couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He knew very well that if he gave a wrong answer today, he would be killed!

Is it Emperor Tianjing or Zhou Zheng? !

The Father? Or the Son?

This is not only a political issue, but also an ethical issue and a sensitive issue of stance.

Chen Duo's opening answer undoubtedly represents his stance and attitude, and is the key to how the two sides will talk next.

Chen Duo had long known that King Zhou Yong must be no simple man, but he never expected that King Zhou Yong would be so straightforward in his words.

This was simply maddening, and even Chen Duo was unable to react for a moment.

Those sitting in the inner hall also did not speak, they just stared quietly.

King Zhou Yong stared straight at the young-looking first-rank official in front of him, his eyes filled with thought.

Of course, he had heard of the name Chen Duo, who was once an unknown minor official in the court.

In just one year, he was promoted like a rocket to become the current Minister of Rites. This alone is enough to show that he is no ordinary person.

How cunning is Emperor Tianjing! ?

Even in this situation, he still chose this seemingly incompetent person, so King Zhou Yong did not underestimate Chen Duo.

It was just a very pointed question, and he wanted to know how Chen Duo would respond.

Whirring whirring! ! !

Heavy breathing continued to come from Chen Duo's mouth, and beads of cold sweat the size of beans couldn't stop dripping from his cheeks.

"I am the imperial envoy of the Great Zhou!"

After clearing his throat, Chen Duo finally raised his head and spoke.

His answer was the same as before.

But it seems a little different.

He neither mentioned Zhou Zheng nor Emperor Tianjing Zhou Tian.

I have to say that this answer is quite clever, and it is even difficult to notice the loophole at first glance.

After all, both Zhou Zheng and Zhou Tian were emperors of the Great Zhou.

"Master Chen, please come in."

King Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded secretly. Sometimes saying the right nonsense is the wisest answer.

Only after hearing King Zhou Yong's greeting did Chen Duo secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He walked towards the inner hall step by step, but he knew that the real negotiations had not yet begun.

As an imperial envoy of the Great Zhou, even a prince should be polite when meeting him.

But now the fact that King Zhou Yong did not stand up already explains something.

The most important thing is that no one stood up in the inner hall.

Looking around, there was not even a place for him, the imperial envoy, to sit down.

I have to say, this is a blatant slap in the face.

But this time, Chen Duo was not panicked, and even seemed to be completely unconcerned.

there is always a solution to a problem!

Today, he not only has to complete the task, but also has to thoroughly establish his own image.

The more difficulties he faces, the better it is for his image.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chen Duo's mouth rose imperceptibly.

"What is the matter this time?!"

Seeing Chen Duo's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, King Zhou Yong nodded secretly.

No matter what the reason is, he can remain calm in the face of danger and even temporarily put himself aside. It has to be said that Chen Duo is indeed extraordinary.

King Zhou Yong didn't have much energy to waste time talking to Chen Duo.

Some members of the ceremonial guard who didn't know the rules had already been killed before, so there was no need for him to play dumb here.

Perhaps the best way is to be straightforward and to the point.

"Today, I came here for only one thing."

Chen Duo didn't waste any words. He looked at the prince in front of him with a burning gaze and showed no sign of backing down.

"Please, Your Majesty, come to the court to calm the hearts of the people."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Duo stated his purpose in a deep voice.

Buzz! ! ! !

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt their heads buzzing. Their pupils shrank slightly, and when they looked at Chen Duo, surprise appeared in their eyes for the first time.

Unexpectedly, Chen Duo is so bold!

Was this to make King Zhou Yong send himself to the court? !

If this were to happen, King Yong of Zhou would be at the mercy of the enemy, and the imperial court would be in danger!

He is so brave! He is courting death!

King Zhou Yong leaned forward slightly, his eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in them.

He didn't say anything, but just this one action was like a weight of tens of millions of pounds falling on him.

At this moment, everyone in the room also stood up.

Brush brush!

Almost all those present were military generals.

They drew out the long swords at their waists and pointed the blades at Chen Duo. The huge murderous intent and sense of oppression swept over like a surging river.

As long as King Zhou Yong gave the order, they would chop the ungrateful Chen Duo into meat paste in the next second.

No matter how powerful you are in the court, no matter how favored you are in front of the emperor.

But this is the residence of King Zhou Yong!

Here, no one dares to disrespect King Zhou Yong, and no one dares to threaten King Zhou Yong!

The sharp sound of weapons breaking through the air coming from the perimeter made Chen Duo's heart beat wildly.

His breathing was extremely heavy, and the blood in his body was boiling and surging wildly.

But Chen Duo still held back.

He knew very well that if he showed any sign of cowardice at this moment, all his efforts today would be wasted!

He wants to continue gambling!

I bet King Zhou Yong won’t order him to be killed!

Sweat continued to flow from the palms of my hands.

King Zhou Yong did not speak, and the atmosphere in the entire inner hall was extremely tense.

Boom boom boom!

Chen Duo could even hear his own voice.

"What if the king refuses?"

After a long time, King Yong of Zhou finally spoke.

With a hint of amusement, he looked quietly at King Zhou Yong in front of him.

But the force of his words left no room for response.

King Zhou Yong's words did not make Chen Duo feel regretful. In fact, he felt relieved at last.

Because all of this was part of his plan!
