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

Da Zhou, Kyoto, the Imperial Palace!

Deep in the palace, the lonely figure of Emperor Tianjing was stretched out under the setting sun.

The air seemed to be frozen, and there was deathly silence.

Boom boom boom!

It was not until a long time later that a series of crisp knocks on the door were heard, barely ending the silence.

"Come in!"

Emperor Tianjing's hollow eyes slowly moved a little, and he spoke weakly in a hoarse voice.

The current Emperor Tianjing is no longer the same as before. The vigor and vitality, the attitude of ruling the world and being invincible in the world are all gone.

At this moment, he looked like a destitute old man who was about to die.

Her hair was gray and her shawl was scattered on her shoulders. Although she was wearing rich silk, it was a pity that she had lost her glory at this time.

As Emperor Tianjing's voice came, the door that was originally closed was also slowly opened.

A dark shadow came towards Emperor Tianjing respectfully and cautiously.

His steps were light, his head was completely lowered, and he did not dare to look at Emperor Tianjing.

Such respect is rare in today's circumstances.

"His Majesty!"

The black shadow knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing, his forehead pressed to the ground, and spoke in a pious tone.

"Say!"

Without much nonsense, Emperor Tianjing said just one word.

"The Prime Minister has led an army of 300,000 and is heading north."

"This war will be over in a month at most."

Emperor Tianjing was not surprised by the news, as he had already known that this was the inevitable result.

But when he heard it, his old body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so talkative."

"Those officials have long treated the Prime Minister as the future emperor, kneeling for miles to see him off, and their words are full of flattery to the Prime Minister, which is disrespectful to Your Majesty."

"They should be executed!"

The shadowy man's voice was slightly cold, but filled with a heart-pounding murderous intent.

If it were in the past, he would have killed those people long ago, but the situation is different now. Not to mention him, even Emperor Tianjing has no way to influence it.

But he had to tell the news.

Everyone in the world has his or her own die-hard fans. Countless high-ranking officials have been raised by them since childhood, let alone Emperor Tianjing.

Even though Emperor Tianjing has lost his real power and has been completely sidelined, his loyal followers still exist.

These death warriors have been trained at great expense by Emperor Tianjing since childhood, and they only have Emperor Tianjing in their hearts.

And now they are the only ones that Emperor Tianjing can use.

It’s a pity that even the death squad suffered countless casualties under the manipulation of the prime minister and other court ministers, and there are not many people left now.

The reason why these assassins were left behind was that the Prime Minister and others did not want to completely break off relations with Emperor Tianjing for the time being.

After all, after the war is over, they still need Emperor Tianjing to announce it to the world and abdicate voluntarily.

Only in this way can you be in the right position, have a legitimate reason, and let everything happen naturally.

Besides, in the eyes of the prime minister and others, these remaining warriors of Emperor Tianjing are nothing more than ants who can be destroyed with a single move.

Without any threat, there is naturally no need to feel worried or panic.

After hearing the words of the assassin, Emperor Tianjing's expression did not change much.

"Now, let's go."

"From now on, you are free and can live the life you want."

"If you can take anything you want in this palace, take it away."

Who would have thought that Emperor Tianjing seemed to have figured it out and sighed lightly. At this moment, he no longer had his former heroic appearance and looked more like an ordinary old man.

It was as if he knew the final outcome, as if he no longer held any hope and had accepted his fate.

"Slave, this life has always belonged to your Majesty."

"My servant, I'm not going anywhere."

The black shadow's body trembled, and then buried his head deeper.

He did not guess why Emperor Tianjing suddenly changed his character, why he suddenly said such words, nor did he think about whether there was any deeper meaning in Emperor Tianjing's words.

Ever since he could remember, he knew that his life had always belonged to Emperor Tianjing.

No need to question, no need to doubt.

They have long been accustomed to this feeling.

"Do you know what the consequences will be for you if the Prime Minister wins?!"

Seeing the black shadow like this, Emperor Tianjing was also deeply moved.

"Slave, I don't know, and I don't need to know."

"You will die, and die miserably!"

"Minion, I don't mind! I don't care!"

The black shadow's words were firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, or even any panic or doubt.

To them, being able to become the loyal warrior of Emperor Tianjing is a great honor.

Since childhood, they have lived an extremely good life, and even their tribesmen have been well arranged.

Emperor Tianjing rarely issued orders and even gave them ample opportunities to grow.

If these warriors are willing, they can even serve as officials in the court.

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, Emperor Tianjing may have many shortcomings, and even countless people want to overthrow Emperor Tianjing.

But in the eyes of these death warriors, Emperor Tianjing was an extremely good person, and they were even more devoted to him than their biological mother and father.

Over the years, they have earned enough and lived enough, and they have no reason to abandon Emperor Tianjing.

No matter life or death!

The brief question and answer moved Emperor Tianjing's heart again.

He smiled softly, and there was a hint of sadness in his heart.

You know, there was no civil or military official in the court who had not received his favor and favourites.

If he hadn't regained control of the throne, would they still be able to serve as officials in the court? !

If they had not stood up at the critical moment, they would never have been able to emerge in the court headed by Zhou Zheng, and might even have been liquidated by Zhou Zheng.

But with such great kindness, are there any officials in the court who can remember my kindness? !

Not to mention that these warriors would risk their lives for him, they can't even stand on his side.

When there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

When the prime minister is in charge of the court, no official is innocent.

They are all accomplices, murderers, and people that I hate!

"If I could do it again, I would crush them to dust!"

With his fists clenched, Emperor Tianjing bared his teeth, filled with murderous intent.

Unfortunately, this murderous intent quickly disappeared.

Because this world has always been so realistic.

Only true power can make people omnipotent. The moment you lose power, everything you once had will disappear into thin air.

Emperor Tianjing knows this very well.

"Who do you think will win this battle?!"

Emperor Tianjing raised his head again and looked at the dark figure kneeling on the ground.

But this time, the assassin did not respond to him.

No one knew whether he was afraid to answer or didn't know how to answer.

But because there was no answer, Emperor Tianjing slowly closed his eyes.

Because, this is the answer.

Even Emperor Tianjing had deduced this countless times, but unfortunately he could not think of a way for Zhou Zheng to win.

"For me, you are willing to do anything!?"

"You don't care about anything!?"

After a long time, Emperor Tianjing asked again.

"My head may be cut off, my blood may be shed, but I will never look back!"

The death warriors are determined!

Ok, good, good!

Three consecutive "good" words moved Emperor Tianjing's heart again.

Then he took out a sealed envelope from his pocket.

"I want you to leave Kyoto at all costs and by all means."

"Give this envelope to Zhou Zheng!"

Gritting his teeth, Emperor Tianjing spoke solemnly as if he had made a huge decision.

"Yes!"

The assassin took the envelope decisively without hesitation or even stopping.

Then, he left quietly.

His figure quickly disappeared.

Looking at his gradually disappearing figure, Emperor Tianjing became nervous at this moment.

How easy is it to leave this palace, to leave this capital, to be by Zhou Zheng's side? !

However, Emperor Tianjing knew better that he had no choice at this moment.

Now, he has no hope.

We can only place our hopes on Zhou Zheng.

"No matter what, this world belongs to the Great Zhou!"

"This week is my week!"

"The country can only be handed over to someone with the surname Zhou!"

"It's not your turn yet, a person from another family!"

Emperor Tianjing gritted his teeth, his face full of indignation and unwillingness!
