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

"Let it go..."

"Your Majesty is in his twilight years, and the future throne will still be yours."

"Emperor Tianjing is a man of ten virtues, loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, polite, wise, and trustworthy. He possesses all the qualities. As a blood relative, he will certainly not embarrass you, let alone those ignorant rebels."

"If that happens, you and your son will work together, and the country will surely be peaceful and prosperous, and the people will be united, and you will push the Great Zhou to another peak."

When talking about the exciting things, Chen Duo's face flushed.

Such instructions and such passion really made him feel like he was in charge of everything.

Unfortunately, in Zhou Zheng's opinion, such words are extremely ignorant, and he is just a clown.

"Finished?"

He twisted his neck, and a cold light flashed in his pupils.

At this moment, Chen Duo felt his scalp tingling, and even his body became a little stiff.

He didn't know why Zhou Zheng didn't look at him with gratitude, but with such cold murderous eyes, even though he had clearly explained everything to him and appealed to his emotions.

This kind of eye contact made Chen Duo feel as if he was falling into an icy cave, and he had a terrifying feeling as if he was being stared at by the abyss of death.

Why do I feel this way?!

Is it an illusion?!

But Zhou Zheng's next move made Chen Duo feel his scalp tingling.

Buzz!

Zhou Zheng suddenly drew out a long sword from the waist of King Zhou Yong, and without any nonsense, he pointed the long sword directly at Chen Duo's neck.

The sharp coldness made the blood in his body boil instantly.

At this moment, Chen Duo suddenly woke up.

He knew that Zhou Zheng was not testing him, nor was he doing this on a whim, but was filled with murderous intent.

Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was not a young man in his twenties, nor was he a new emperor who had just ascended the throne, nor was he an ignorant and indecisive person.

When he was still an unsuccessful deposed crown prince, he dared to challenge the imperial court and confront Emperor Tianjing head-on.

Now, he is an emperor with countless experiences, how could he be broken by a few words? !

If it were that easy, he would not be Zhou Zheng, and he would not deserve to be called Zhou Zheng.

After realizing this, Chen Duo broke out in a cold sweat.

Pfft!

Then, without any hesitation, he knelt down in front of Zhou Zheng, and without even giving others time to react, he began to kowtow and apologize. In short, his only expression was that he wanted to live.

The huge changes before and after were beyond the expectations of King Zhou Yong and others.

Especially those who were secretly praising Chen Duo at the beginning, their pupils widened and their faces looked incredible.

Who is this person? !

"You are such a talented person."

At this moment, even Zhou Zheng had to admire Chen Duo. He was a real man, able to bend and stretch, and he showed that quality to the fullest.

It’s a pity that this so-called flexibility is meaningless and worthless in Zhou Zheng’s view.

Because, today, Chen Duo is destined to have only one ending, and that is death!

"What I hate most is double-dealing."

"In your next life, be sure to do a good job of background check, otherwise you will easily lose your composure."

There was finally a smile on Zhou Zheng's face.

But this smile was more like a demon from the depths of hell, which made Chen Duo feel panic.

"You can't kill me."

"The two armies are fighting, and the envoy will not be killed."

"I still have a lot of value. I can provide you with a lot of information and even tell you some secrets of Emperor Tianjing."

"Please, don't kill me..."

However, Chen Duo's begging for mercy and crying were met with only two words from Zhou Zheng: "noisy!"

Tsk tsk tsk!

Without any hesitation, the sword pierced his neck, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the air was instantly filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Looking at Chen Duo lying on the ground with his eyes open, Zhou Zheng frowned slightly.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the generals present.

These are all King Zhou Yong's team members and his die-hard fans.

Their presence here means that they have gained the absolute trust of King Zhou Yong.

But this time, Zhou Zheng was a little disappointed with these people.

What is disappointing is not that these people lost confidence in themselves for a moment. What is disappointing is not that these people recognized Chen Duo for a moment.

What really disappointed him was that these people seemed unaware of the cruelty and sinisterness of the court, and could not even see through Chen Duo's insidiousness and cunningness.

If I hadn't come here specially this time, I'm afraid someone here would really be instigated to rebel.

Zhou Zheng didn't say anything. He just looked quietly at the people kneeling on the ground.

The entire inner hall was extremely quiet at this moment, and no one dared to breathe.

"Everyone, if anyone wants to withdraw now, I promise to still treat them well."

After a long time, Zhou Zheng spoke.

His voice was very calm, as if there were not many emotional fluctuations, but these words were like a mountain, pressing down hard on everyone's hearts.

Since ancient times, the things that are most difficult for people to let go of have never been scolding and misunderstanding.

It's indifference, extreme indifference.

Because this indifference means disappointment, absolute disappointment.

This also means that they may never enter Zhou Zheng’s core circle.

When they thought of this, everyone's faces turned pale and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping from their foreheads.

They regretted why they were deceived by the rumors just now! ?

But only Zhou Zheng knew clearly, and King Zhou Yong also understood that it was not that they were bewitched, but that they were not firm in their hearts.

They may never have thought of standing by Zhou Zheng regardless of everything.

Are they wrong?

Of course it is.

If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!

But was Zhou Zheng wrong? !

Of course Zhou Zheng is not wrong!

Because what Zhou Zheng has always wanted is absolute trust, the kind of brother who is willing to support him.

Therefore, as long as you gain Zhou Zheng's trust, you will get Zhou Zheng's support at all costs.

Unfortunately, this excellent opportunity was seriously wasted by them.

If one person stood up and stood opposite Chen Duo regardless of everything and supported Zhou Zheng with all his strength, the result would be completely different.

But this world has always been fair.

If you were given an opportunity and didn't seize it, you can't blame others.

Fortunately, no one present was ready to leave at this time.

If there really was such a person, King Zhou Yong would not mind taking action himself and killing him.

"Your Majesty, those people outside?"

The people outside that King Zhou Yong referred to were precisely the ceremonial guard that followed Chen Duo from the imperial court.

Thousands of people...

"kill!"

There was no nonsense at all, just one short word, which made everyone present stunned.

But this time, no one hesitated or refused.

Having missed an opportunity to show off, they would not be so foolish as to miss the possibility of being loyal a second time.

For a moment, the sound of fighting resounded through heaven and earth.

There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and wailing everywhere.
