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

reject?

Chen Duo's pupils did not change at all. He did not seem surprised by this answer, and it even seemed as if everything was under his control.

"Your Majesty, don't rush to refuse."

"Why not listen to the court's conditions first?"

Chen Duo's face was full of confidence.

King Zhou Yong sat up straighter, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

From the moment Chen Duo entered here to his words now, he already knew Chen Duo's true purpose.

He also vaguely guessed that the purpose of the imperial court this time was not to make an enemy of him, but to recruit him.

As the only remaining prince in the world, he naturally knows the ins and outs behind this.

As long as he was recruited, Zhou Zheng would face tremendous pressure and might even be defeated without a fight in the next battle.

But King Zhou Yong was Zhou Ping's biological father. Given the life-and-death friendship between Zhou Ping and Zhou Zheng, he had absolutely no reason to stand against his only son.

Therefore, he really wanted to know what the court's confidence was in recruiting him!

"As long as the prince is willing to follow the arrangements of His Majesty, the court will give him one million taels of gold and ten million taels of silver."

Chen Duo flicked his sleeves and raised his head slightly.

As soon as this number came out, the faces of everyone in the inner hall changed drastically. Even someone as steady as King Yong started to have his heart beating fast, and even his pupils shrank suddenly.

One million taels of gold, ten million taels of silver? !

What a huge number this is.

Not to mention that the country has been in ruins due to years of war. Even in a prosperous era, this amount of money is not something the court could easily come up with.

To put it bluntly, with this money, anyone can gather a rebel army in a very short period of time, and even establish himself as king with an unstoppable force!

Whoohoo!

"The imperial court is really generous."

Finally, the people sitting below couldn't help themselves anymore.

They didn't know why the imperial court had such a huge sum of money, but they had to admit that this money was absolutely attractive to anyone.

Over the years, King Yong of Zhou worked diligently to manage this fiefdom and never thought that such a large sum of money would suddenly appear.

This money can not only solve the problem of supporting the elite troops in the fiefdom for the next ten years, but can even directly turn the entire fiefdom into an economically prosperous place. The generals present will surely become wealthy.

Chen Duo glanced at the crowd's murmurs and secretly felt relieved.

The world has always been like this, with people coming here for profit and people going there for profit.

Since ancient times, people die for money and birds die for food. This truth has never changed.

Cough!

King Zhou Yong knew very well what everyone was thinking deep down at this moment. He coughed quickly and instantly drew the attention of everyone sitting below.

"Empty words!"

As a prince of the Great Zhou, he knew its financial situation very well.

"Besides, do you really think that this will allow me to follow the orders of the court?"

King Zhou Yong slowly picked up the teacup beside him with a look of disdain.

Of course he likes money, but if he thinks that's enough, then he really underestimates King Zhou Yong.

"Of course it's more than that."

"These money are nothing but external possessions, and are merely some sincerity from the court."

Chen Duo nodded. He knew that when King Zhou Yong asked this, his chance had come.

"As long as King Zhou Yong accepts the money and announces to the world that he will be loyal to the Great Zhou, loyal to Emperor Tianjing, and loyal to the court."

"Then, your majesty will grant amnesty to the whole world."

The corners of his mouth were outlined, and a gleam of light flashed quietly.

The meaning of the general amnesty is very clear. Zhou Ping can survive, and those who follow Zhou Zheng can survive as long as they do not resist to the death.

As for the people present, not only can they survive, but they can also live well.

Hiss, hiss!

Sure enough, when these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

Especially King Yong of Zhou, who also fell into silence.

He had only one son, Zhou Ping.

It can be said that Zhou Ping is the fundamental reason for all King Zhou Yong's actions in the world and his only desire to survive.

No matter who it is, as long as Zhou Ping can be guaranteed to be alive, King Zhou Yong is likely to cooperate with him.

"Are you so sure that the court will win, that your majesty will win?"

King Zhou Yong calmed himself and continued to ask questions.

The generals present also had their heartbeats quickened and their eyes were fixed on Chen Duo.

Because this is the key and the core.

If the final result is the defeat of the court and Emperor Tianjing, then all the previous promises will be useless.

As long as this world belongs to Zhou Zheng, all these gold and silver treasures will be of no use to them.

"Of course, the court may not necessarily win, and your majesty may not necessarily win either."

Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Duo did not refute anything, and even agreed a little.

"but!"

However, Chen Duo changed the subject and his aura became stronger.

"If we have the support of the five great ancient families, do you think there are other possibilities for this battle?"

When mentioning the five ancient families, Chen Duo's voice became noticeably higher.

Sure enough, once these words were spoken, the original doubts no longer existed.

Everyone is aware of the power contained in the five ancient families.

Once upon a time, countless people knew that the five great ancient families would not easily interfere in worldly affairs, but no one expected that the five great ancient families would personally take action this time.

Even though this fiefdom had been tightly locked, no news was getting through.

But they had already heard that no one present was a simple person.

Even some of them have been guessed.

But when all this was said through Chen Duo's mouth, they were still a little panicked.

"Otherwise, Your Majesty, who do you think paid the money that was promised just now?"

Chen Duo took a step forward.

He seems to be trying to change the concept here. The five great ancient families did give a considerable sum of money to the court, but they did not say that it was for King Yong of Zhou.

However, Chen Duo used the art of words to make everyone mistakenly believe that this was the intention of the five ancient families.

The little thought behind this is self-evident.

"So, Your Majesty and everyone else, please think carefully. Do you want to accept this money or not?"

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Chen Duoan breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had taken the initiative today.

As long as we increase the intensity a little, we can defeat King Yong of Zhou.

As for today's hatred, one day he will make everyone present pay a heavy price, even King Zhou Yong must die!

If Emperor Tianjing did not have more important plans, King Zhou Yong would not have the right to let Chen Duo stand here for peace talks.

"The prince is a smart man."

"Even if not for yourself, for your old subordinates and your only son, you should know what is the right choice."
