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

Great Zhou, Kyoto!

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive at this moment, covering the entire sky.

Countless people held their breath, their eyes filled with intense panic and fear.

At this time, outside the city, 300,000 elite troops were ready to go.

The people in Kyoto couldn't help but look towards the outside of the city. Everyone knew that the decisive battle between the imperial court and Zhou Zheng would take place soon.

"Who do you think will win and who will lose this time!?"

"I think the court will win."

"That's right. Three hundred thousand troops just dropped from the sky without causing any movement. No one even knew of their existence. Such a strange speed and behavior is far beyond the reach of the King of Zhenbei."

Some people frowned and spoke in a firm tone.

"Is it!?"

"But I still think that one has a chance, because he has created so many miracles."

An untimely voice suddenly appeared, and the speaker was an old man.

His voice was not loud, his body was quite hunched, and his gray beard swayed in the wind, but his tone was unusually firm.

Although Kyoto is populated by high-ranking officials and has fewer common people, there are still common people.

In the eyes of the people, it doesn’t matter who is the emperor, and it doesn’t matter who owns the world.

What they really care about is which emperor can be good to the people and which one can allow the people to live a stable life.

Throughout history, there have been countless kings, princes, generals, and emperors.

But no matter whether it is a prosperous era or a chaotic era, the people suffer.

They had already given up hope, thinking that this was the life that the lower class people should live, but who knew that a person would appear out of nowhere.

He was exactly the person the old man was talking about, Zhou Zheng!

Today, in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one dares to call Zhou Zheng by his name, and no one dares to say that he is the emperor.

Because the imperial court had long since examined the people's speech, anyone who dared to directly say Zhou Zheng's name would be guilty of a capital crime, and in serious cases, all nine generations of his clan could be executed!

It was so strict that Zhou Zheng’s name disappeared from Kyoto.

But everyone knows that no matter what method the court uses, it is impossible to remove this name, and it is destined to be impossible to erase this name in history.

So, everyone began to call Zhou Zheng "he" naturally!

Just one short word makes it clear to everyone what it means.

The old man's words temporarily quieted down the noisy people.

Everyone was silent, with complicated looks.

They naturally knew what the success or failure of this battle meant to Zhou Zheng. They also knew what the success or failure of this battle meant to the people of the whole world.

"There's nothing we can do about it. He has too little time to grow up."

Someone else smiled bitterly.

What's the use of having the whole nation united?! What's the use of having the people's support!?

In the face of absolute strength, everything is futile.

The current power of the imperial court has made people all over the world panic. If King Zhou Yong could provide support, Zhou Zheng might still have a chance of winning. Unfortunately, King Zhou Yong can't save himself now.

In addition, the actions of the five ancient families made the people feel an unprecedented sense of extreme oppression.

With such strength, even if they believed in Zhou Zheng, they didn't think he had any reason to win.

Everyone was silent, no one spoke.

"Humph, if it weren't for Emperor Tianjing, why would he have come to this point?!"

"If he had been given another twenty years, how could the world be in such a mess?"

Some people clenched their fists, with a look of unwillingness and indignation on their faces.

No one expected that the biggest change would be Emperor Tianjing.

This name, which disappeared for a long time and reappeared again, made people all over the world hate it to the core.

In particular, the current Emperor Tianjing has been completely sidelined.

Such a hollowing out meant that everything he had done before was meaningless, and it also meant that the court that Zhou Zheng had worked so hard to build had become an empty shell.

"There's no point in saying this now."

"I can only hope that there is still an opportunity in this world."

Some bow their heads, some feel regretful, some are unwilling to give in, but more people just resign themselves to their fate.

The 300,000 cavalry outside the city made them feel suffocated.

More importantly, everyone knows that if Zhou Zheng does not get any news or information, he will be defeated when the army arrives.

......

"Sir, are you going to go into battle in person this time?!"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, countless court officials gathered.

At this moment, they had a look of admiration on their faces, looking at the prime minister in front of them with shining eyes, their eyes were filled with absolute flattery towards the superior.

This is not the court or the imperial palace, so naturally they did not follow the court etiquette.

If all officials kneel down!

Only emperors of all dynasties could enjoy such a grand ceremony.

But now, how could a prime minister, even if he was the head of all officials, be qualified? ! But the prime minister did it.

He did not threaten the officials, nor did he even signal them. All the officials responded to his heartfelt actions from the bottom of their hearts.

As for whether the news will be passed to the court and whether Emperor Tianjing will know about it.

To these people, it doesn't matter anymore.

So what if you know?!

Is there anyone available around Emperor Tianjing now?

Moreover, only in this way can one truly gain the trust of the Prime Minister.

Even if we take a step back, how many days can Emperor Tianjing remain the emperor?

One month or three months?!

Everyone knows that when this war is over, it will be time for the Prime Minister to change the dynasty.

How could Emperor Tianjing at that time have the ability to teach his officials a lesson, or even reprimand them! ?

Looking at the officials kneeling on the ground, the prime minister felt very comfortable.

What is the point of being the most powerful official? ? In this life, if a person has ideals and ambitions, he should move forward courageously and ascend to the position of the emperor.

In the past, the prime minister did not have the ability and means to do so.

But now, the opportunity is here.

Sometimes, choice is more important than effort.

And the prime minister will obviously make the most correct choice.

"Don't worry, everyone. Defeating the rebels, punishing the traitors, and killing Zhou Zheng is my duty for the sake of the country and the people of the world. It is my responsibility and duty!"

The prime minister was generous and his eyes were filled with a sharp belief.

In his words, he no longer referred to himself as prime minister, but instead used "I".

He did it not for the Great Zhou and the imperial court, but for the country and the people of the world.

The rebellion and independence in the words are self-evident!

But no one thought there was anything wrong with it. Instead, their admiration for him became even stronger.

"In three days, I will mobilize my army to wipe out these traitors from the world!"

His eyes are sharp and his sense of righteousness is awe-inspiring.

As for the remaining three days, the Prime Minister knew very well that he still had a very important thing to do, which was to lick the fifth man.

Only with the absolute support of the fifth man, he would have the confidence to fight this battle.
