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

King Yong of Zhou beheaded Chen Duo.

Three hundred thousand elite troops from the fiefdoms came out and marched into Kyoto in the name of serving the king!

In a short time, the news spread throughout the Great Zhou as if it had wings.

Countless people looked at him with shock and disbelief on their faces.

You know, there are many people in the world who want to rebel, but no one has ever thought that one day King Yong of Zhou would raise an army to defend his country.

You know, the name of King Yong of Zhou is just a coward in the Great Zhou.

Although he was a prince, he was powerful and timid. Not only did he not participate in court disputes, he even treated ordinary officials with disrespect.

When Zhou Zheng was still the crown prince, King Zhou Yong became a nobody in the court.

If many princes had not died later, leaving only King Zhou Yong, perhaps the world would have forgotten the existence of such a person.

Even though King Zhou Yong was favored by the emperor later on, in the eyes of the world, it was only because Zhou Ping followed Zhou Zheng closely.

Now, two dragons are fighting for the world, and the five ancient families are eyeing them covetously. The situation is changing in a flash. Despite this, no one thought that King Zhou Yong would appear.

But it was just such a person, just such an existence, who actually raised an army of 300,000 and attacked Kyoto directly!

How shocking is this? !

Kill the imperial envoy, break into the capital, raise an army to defend the king...

None of these things could be done by the mediocre King Zhou Yong in people's memory.

But when they saw the endless and mighty elite troops marching towards Kyoto.

They saw the imperial army being defeated repeatedly in front of King Zhou Yong's large army. When they saw King Zhou Yong's determined look, everyone knew that this King Zhou Yong was no longer the King Zhou Yong in their memories.

Don't treat each other with admiration for three days.

King Zhou Yong's move this time was like a torrent, sweeping away everything with overwhelming force wherever it went.

Looking at the current Great Zhou, apart from the elite Zhenbei Army of King Zhenbei, which other elite troops can resist the iron cavalry of King Zhou Yong? !

The local army is not good enough, the guards of the gentry and powerful are not good enough, and even the imperial guards are not good enough.

The momentum was unstoppable and there was no end in sight. At this rate, it would only take three months at most for King Zhou Yong to flatten everything and break into the palace.

In particular, King Zhou Yong swept through everything along the way without causing any harm, and did not disturb or harm the captured places. He even constantly appeased the people, thus demonstrating the discipline of his troops.

This undoubtedly proves King Yong of Zhou's ability to employ people and command troops.

The most important thing is that wherever King Zhou Yong went, he always proclaimed that Zhou Zheng was the orthodox ruler of the world.

All wars and crimes were instigated by Emperor Tianjing.

His words showed disdain and disrespect for the five ancient families.

He, is he planning to use his own strength to fight against the entire imperial court and the five great ancient families? !

No matter what King Yong of Zhou's purpose was, he achieved his goal.

Countless people have once again focused their attention on this prince who has been ignored by them countless times. In him, the world once again sees a kind of dormant wisdom and an indomitable courage and determination.

In this battle, no matter what the outcome of King Zhou Yong's battle is, his name is destined to become famous again in this world.

At the same time, the court of the Great Zhou!

At this time, the atmosphere was so solemn that all the court officials knelt in the court, trembling.

They looked terrified and felt uneasy in their hearts. No one dared to stand up while they lowered their heads.

Once upon a time, they looked down on Chen Duo and even hoped that Chen Duo would fail in his mission and die outside.

But now that things are happening as they wished, they feel extremely uneasy deep in their hearts.

Not only was a huge amount of money from the five ancient families lost by Chen Duo, but all of this money fell into the hands of King Zhou Yong and became a weapon for King Zhou Yong to curb the court and attack the imperial court.

The most important thing is that the current King Zhou Yong is unstoppable.

If this trend continues, the entire court can only last three months at most.

Once King Yong of Zhou invades the imperial court, what will be their fate? !

Everyone knows it.

Death of body and soul are considered the lightest consequences. The worst consequence is that one's family will be destroyed and all property will be confiscated.

When they thought of this, everyone started breathing rapidly and looked panicked.

"Your Majesty, King Zhou Yong is now gaining momentum, and the court is powerless to stop him."

"If we don't find a solution, I'm afraid the court will be in danger."

Finally, the prime minister couldn't help but speak.

He did not offer any suggestions, but just quietly looked at Emperor Tianjing, who looked somewhat decadent on the dragon throne.

The current Emperor Tianjing no longer has the strength and excitement he had in the beginning, and there is instead a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

He thought of countless possibilities, but he never expected that King Zhou Yong would kill the imperial envoy, let alone raise an army to defend the king.

Even when he first got the news, he scoffed at it, thinking it was just a rumor.

It was not until the country fell and the court was in crisis that he realized that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Especially since Chen Duo was his absolute direct descendant whom he had cultivated with great difficulty, and he was one of the few loyal ministers who could help him share the burden.

Such a person died at such a critical moment.

Who else in the court can really help him with his plans? !

He was unwilling to give in, he clenched his fists, veins bulged on his face, but in the end he sighed and his eyes dimmed.

As an emperor who ascended the throne twice, he has seen too many things in the world, and even one truth, that is, in this world, the result is always the winner is king and the loser is bandit.

The only way to truly gain a foothold in this world is through strength.

With strong enough strength, you can completely suppress the opponent and make the enemy dare not act rashly, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.

"Now, how many soldiers are available to the court?"

Emperor Tianjing forced himself to calm down. He raised his head with difficulty and glanced at the group of ministers kneeling below with disappointment.

These ministers never truly regarded Emperor Tianjing as their king. They only had the five ancient families in their hearts.

They placed all their hopes and bets on the five great ancient families.

But Emperor Tianjing knew very well that the five ancient aristocratic families were never good people.

He has shown enough sincerity and is even willing to put the lifeblood of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the hands of the five ancient great families. But even so, even with such sincerity, it seems not worth mentioning in the eyes of the five ancient great families.

Otherwise, the five ancient families would not just send money, but would also send elite troops to support.

If the imperial court seeks help from the five ancient families at this time, it will probably have to pay a greater price.

Although Emperor Tianjing may not care about the future of the court, may not care about the people of the world, and may even not care about the group of ministers kneeling before him, he still cares about his own face and his dignity.

If he seeks help from the five ancient families at this time, his dignity will be completely trampled upon.

Emperor Tianjing has a complicated attitude towards the five ancient families.

The only plan now is to win two battles, so that he will at least have a chance to speak when facing the five ancient families.

Because he had already seen that King Yong of Zhou was not the real enemy.

The real enemy is Zhou Zheng!

But if even King Zhou Yong can't solve the problem himself, how can he face Zhou Zheng?

The five ancient families might take action against Zhou Zheng, but they would most likely not take action against King Zhou Yong.

After all, in the eyes of the five ancient families, King Zhou Yong was not qualified to contact them.

"Your Majesty, the court has no more than 150,000 soldiers capable of fighting."

"Among them, the elite division only accounts for one-third."

The Minister of War smiled bitterly. He had already considered the soldiers and generals of the court. Unfortunately, there were only a few people available in the court, or even in the world.

Rumble!

This number was like a bolt from the blue, causing Emperor Tianjing to panic.

Just a little bit?!

I didn’t expect that such a huge Zhou Dynasty has become so weak?

"Has the several wars with the Great Xia Kingdom and the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty caused this empire to fall apart to this extent?"

Emperor Tianjing muttered to himself, with a dazed look in his eyes.

Just a few years ago, he still called himself the Perfect Man.

At that time, the Great Zhou was still peaceful and prosperous.

In just a few years, it has fallen to such a state.

Emperor Tianjing was unwilling!

He clenched his fists, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and murderous intent burst out.

"All of this is due to Zhou Zheng!"

"He, damn it!"

"He must die too!"
