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

Three days passed by in a flash like a white horse passing by.

The 300,000-strong army is already ready to go.

The powerful lineup and the huge murderous intent released by the elite troops can be clearly felt even within the walls of Kyoto.

Is this the real trump card of the great Zhou family? !

These 300,000 elite soldiers are selected from among the best.

You must know that neither the original Emperor Tianjing nor the later Zhou Zheng really obtained such power from the hands of the aristocratic families.

Unexpectedly, it now easily falls into the hands of the prime minister.

All the officials came out of the city to see him off, with the prime minister standing in the front on horseback.

He felt the breath of the world, as if it was crawling at his feet at this moment.

That kind of domineering aura, even though it had never appeared before, suddenly appeared without any warning now.

He is calm, he is domineering, and he is full of vigor and vitality.

Wherever he passed, the people knelt down in worship, and the soldiers on both sides even knelt on one knee. Bowing their heads was a sign of respect.

This was the first time in the Prime Minister's life that he had seen such a grand ceremony and treatment.

"After this war, I will be the current emperor."

Sitting on the tall horse, the prime minister took a deep breath, his eyes flickering slightly, and he kept looking around.

He did not hold a so-called military parade or take a so-called oath.

Just thinking quietly about everything now.

Only after leaving the city walls of Kyoto did the officials kneel down.

"Official, great victory!"

Long and lingering voices continued to come from the city wall behind him.

The prime minister knew that this was the sound left behind by the officials after they saw him off.

At this moment, they were kneeling devoutly on the ground, without any trace of negligence or disrespect on their faces, but instead there was a hint of passion and madness.

That feeling is like following the light of your life all the time.

It can be said that these officials have demonstrated flattery to the extreme.

What's worse, they were competing with each other, as if they wanted to see who cared more about the prime minister.

It’s a pity that the prime minister couldn’t see all of this, because he only left his back.

These high-ranking and prominent officials in the court did not stand up directly. Instead, they waited until the 300,000 troops disappeared from their sight before they reluctantly stood up.

This scene was seen clearly by the people in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in silence, and in the end, they could only sigh.

Everyone knew that when things had developed to this point, it was no longer a fight for the throne between Zhou Zheng and Emperor Tianjing, but a matter of the prime minister wanting to change the dynasty.

It concerns the relationship between Zhou Zheng and the prime minister.

During this period, the Prime Minister's reputation has reached its peak in Kyoto. If nothing unexpected happens, I am afraid that the entire Great Zhou will be praising and spreading the news of the Prime Minister's bravery this time.

Of course, this kind of praise and spread probably did not come from the common people.

But so what? !

Since ancient times, winners and losers.

As for the common people?!

Who cares about their life or death, and who cares about their voices.

Countless histories have used bloody growth experiences to tell the world that the voices of the people are of no use.

Not only can we ignore the voices of the people, but we can even change their voices if we want to.

After all, countless years of keeping the people ignorant have made the rulers extremely familiar with this process.

"My fellow officers, what do you think of the outcome of this war?!"

After a long time, when the prime minister led the people to leave Kyoto and head north, some officials finally stood up.

"Of course it was a great victory."

"Three hundred thousand elite soldiers are even more powerful than the Great Zhou at its peak. And Zhou Zheng only has tens of thousands of people, how can he resist?!"

The Minister of War sneered.

There was no hesitation in his eyes about his determination to win this great battle.

The other court officials nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Before the war, they thought of countless possibilities and even deduced them countless times, but none of them resulted in failure.

Therefore, victory is certain.

"All the weapons in the firearms depot have been taken north, and with the intervention of the five great ancient families, there is no way anything will change."

The Minister of Rites was equally decisive.

"only......"

"Zhou Zheng, you can never judge with common sense."

The Minister of Rites still felt a great deal of uneasiness in his heart. This uneasiness made his heart beat faster, his brows furrowed, and his voice became a little low.

In recent years, Zhou Zheng’s appearance has been too crazy, and even cannot be judged by normal people’s thinking.

He created countless miracles and changed countless fates.

Once upon a time, those absolutely impossible things became reality in his hands.

In the past, those battles that were absolutely certain to be won ended up being lost at the hands of Zhou Zheng.

Those scenes in which countless people thought Zhou Zheng would be killed eventually turned into nightmares.

Zhou Zheng is like a god not only in the Great Zhou, but also in the Great Xia and the Great Yuan.

How can we use normal thinking to guess at such a person?

"Why, are you scared?!"

Some adults looked down on the cowardly behavior of the Minister of Rites, and some even rolled their eyes at him.

Before, they saw clearly that the Minister of Rites was the one who kowtowed the most to the Prime Minister.

Could it be that this guy thinks that he can talk nonsense when the Prime Minister is not here? !

Once the news reaches the ears of the prime minister, not only will his career come to an end, he may even be suspected and suppressed by the prime minister. In the end, all his efforts will be in vain and his family will be destroyed.

"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid!"

"Everyone, who is not afraid of such an ending?"

The Minister of Rites shook his head with a bitter look on his face.

They have been completely tied to the prime minister, and have long been in a relationship of shared success and shared failure.

If the prime minister loses this decisive battle with Zhou Zheng, all of them present will be defeated.

By then, not only them, but also their nine clans will be completely wiped out.

No one can bear such a serious consequence, and no one wants to see such an outcome.

That's why he is afraid and worried.

"It's no use saying that now."

"Since we have chosen to follow the Prime Minister, and since we have chosen to stand on the side of the five ancient families, we should firmly believe in them."

"Because, now we have no choice but to believe!"

The Minister of Works sighed lightly.

Although he was not as optimistic as previous officials, he still held a certain possibility in his mind.

Zhou Zheng does not have many soldiers and horses now, and he cannot call on the people of the world.

The Yuan Dynasty had already fallen apart and was unable to provide support, and the Great Xia Kingdom was just sitting on the sidelines watching the fight between the two tigers and was unlikely to support Zhou Zheng.

Even the firearms depot that Zhou Zheng relied on most had already fallen into the hands of the imperial court.

He had no reason to believe that Zhou Zheng could turn the tables.

"That's right. This time, even if the king of heaven comes, he can't save Zhou Zheng!"

"I said!"

The Minister of Revenue snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and his eyes were full of determination.

Since Zhou Zheng ascended the throne, he has continuously carried out reforms and innovations, constantly breaking the previous court system. The entire Ministry of Revenue has been unable to make ends meet, causing countless colleagues to suffer.

Therefore, among the six ministries, the Ministry of Revenue had the greatest complaints against Zhou Zheng.

"Everyone, disperse!"

"We will know the result in a month at most."

"At least, until the results come out, everyone should protect Kyoto."

An official exhaled a large amount of foul air from his chest.

In the end, he didn't care about anyone else and turned around and entered Kyoto.

Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other, and then did the same.

However, after the officials of the court left, the place did not become empty.

On the contrary, countless onlookers have not dispersed yet.

They didn't speak or talk, but just kept looking into the distance.

They had complicated expressions and their eyes were moving around, but unfortunately no one knew what they were guessing.

But no one noticed that in the deepest part of these people's eyes, there was still a glimmer of light.

That kind of light is hope and expectation!

It is obvious that even the people of Kyoto hope that Zhou Zheng will be the winner of this battle.

However, the outcome is no longer something they can interfere with.

I can only pray silently in my heart.

Even though, I know that such prayers are useless.
