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

Chapter 1595 Is there a gift?

"Persuade to surrender!"

"The imperial court's 300,000-strong army will arrive at noon."

"If Your Majesty surrenders now, you can still survive. Otherwise, once the war begins, no one will be left alive!"

Gritting his teeth, the Taoist priest told Zhou Zheng exactly what the Prime Minister had said.

He had no confidence at this moment. You know, which emperor could accept such words coming out of the prime minister's mouth? This was simply a rebellious act.

It’s a pity that now the two saints of the Great Zhou are fighting, and they are just in the same camp, so they have no right to choose.

As expected, as soon as the Taoist said this, everyone at the scene became angry instantly.

Especially Xiao Mu and others, they clenched their fists and were filled with murderous intent.

He is just a minister, but he said such treasonous words. He is not only seeking death, but also the extermination of his entire clan.

Feeling the murderous intent in the inner hall, Fang Shicai broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to say a word.

He knew better than anyone that if he really did as the prime minister said at this moment, and used his aura to suppress Zhou Zheng and make them feel terrified, the final outcome would be that he would be beheaded on the spot.

Given the favor the Fang family had done for King Yong, it was already quite difficult for Zhou Ping not to kill him immediately.

At this moment, he had only one thought, which was to just pass on the message and just want to survive.

As for whether he could meet the standards of a prime minister, he didn't care at all.

Of course, the prime minister and a group of generals had said that when two armies are fighting, envoys should not be killed. However, the alchemist would not believe even a single punctuation mark of such a change.

He knew better than anyone that this was not a battle between two armies.

Emperor Tianjing ascended the throne, but it was not legitimate. If it were not for the help of the five ancient families, the Great Zhou would still be Zhou Zheng's world.

Besides, everyone knows the Prime Minister’s intentions.

What he wanted was not to help Emperor Tianjing, but to replace him.

Therefore, in this situation, the alchemist would not be so foolish as to think that this was a so-called battle between two armies. This was clearly an act of treason and rebellion.

If I really do what the Prime Minister said, Zhou Zheng killing me would be the lightest punishment.

Once Zhou Zheng wins, the Fang family’s hundreds of years of accumulation will vanish in an instant.

"Really? Where does he get the confidence from?"

Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, sat calmly, without any sign of anxiety in his words. Instead, he leaned forward slightly with a faint smile on his face.

However, this smile made Fang Shicai feel a panic and uncertainty emanating from the depths of his soul.

Because Zhou Zheng's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, making it seem like he had no secrets.

"Three hundred thousand troops are ready to go."

"Five thousand musketeers, guarding the rear."

"According to Lei Tong's analysis, the Prime Minister knows that there are only 50,000 soldiers in the city now, and they are not energetic enough and their morale is unstable."

"In the eyes of the Prime Minister and the generals at court, your Majesty is doomed to fail."

Biting his lips lightly, the Taoist finally responded slowly.

All his words were true, without any falsehood, but when he mentioned the word "Lei Tong", his body tensed up involuntarily.

Everyone knows the relationship between Zhou Zheng and Lei Tong, and the news of Lei Tong's rebellion has already spread all over the world.

When the name of Thunder Bronze was mentioned again at this time, the alchemist felt deeply uneasy, fearing that Zhou Zheng would kill him in a rage.

As expected, when they heard the word "Lei Tong", the expressions of everyone present changed, especially Zhou Zheng, whose eyes flickered and even his body trembled imperceptibly.

You know, Zhou Zheng has been quite stable in these years, and it is almost impossible to shake his heart.

Unexpectedly, when he heard the two words "Lei Tong" from Fang Shicai's mouth, he would have such a huge emotional fluctuation.

For a moment, he felt a chill on his back and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look Zhou Zheng in the eye.

After all, in Fang Shicai's opinion, he had given a clear message, at least letting Zhou Zheng know that if he lost this time, the real reason was Lei Tong.

When you win, you must win with dignity. When you lose, you must lose with integrity.

Zhou Zheng's defeat was not due to his ability, but because the overall situation did not support him, the world situation was not favorable to him, and Lei Tong betrayed him.

Fang Shicai himself didn't know why he mentioned Thunder Copper at this time, but he had a feeling that it might be more beneficial for him to bring it up on his own initiative rather than being passively asked by Zhou Zheng.

Hoo ho ho! ! !

After taking a few deep breaths, no one noticed that Zhou Zheng's contracted pupils slowly relaxed.

During this period, Zhou Zheng was most worried about Lei Tong.

Being alone and entering into a game, one mistake could lead to eternal damnation. If Lei Tong died, Zhou Zheng would never forgive himself.

And now it seems that Lei Tong is not only alive, but also being reused.

And the so-called musketeers were behind the formation, and the three hundred thousand troops were marching out together, etc., which must have been Lei Tong's suggestion.

"You are worthy of being my brother!"

Zhou Zheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Lei Tong. He knew that Lei Tong had made a great contribution this time.

What he was most worried about were the court's musketeers.

Although Zhou Zheng had secretly asked the Mohists to tamper with the weapons in the firearms depot, the power of these muskets was greatly reduced, and some even caused explosions and self-injuries.

Well, no matter what, the power of a musket is incomparable to that of ordinary cold weapons.

Now, this group of guys actually listened to Lei Tong and put the muskets that they were most worried about at the end. It was simply heaven helping Zhou Zheng!

Of course, Zhou Zheng knew better than anyone that all this was Lei Tong’s plan.

Make the three hundred thousand troops of the imperial court completely despise him, make them feel that they have a sure victory, make them want to win thoroughly in the name of uprightness, seize the prime minister and many soldiers' ambitions for success and make the best and perfect plan!

But why did the prime minister still believe it?

This made Zhou Zheng's mouth curl up into a smile.

If this is the case, the final outcome of this battle is probably something the imperial court could never imagine.

"anything else?"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his emotions, Zhou Zheng's eyes flickered. He knew that Taoist priest would not just say these few words.

"Prime Minister, I have sent a general to bring you some gifts."

Sure enough, the Taoist priest was shocked and sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

Even the voice had a tremor in it.

Gift?

When these two words came out, everyone felt a little surprised and unbelievable.

Both sides are in a life-and-death situation. Given the Prime Minister's temperament, how could he possibly send gifts?

This is simply the royal family paying New Year's greetings to the chickens, with ulterior motives.

"Send it over."

But Zhou Zheng was very interested.

He knew better than anyone that this gift was definitely not a good thing, but Zhou Zheng was more curious about what kind of gift the prime minister could give in this so-called sure-win situation.

What is his purpose?

When Zhou Zheng asked this, the Taoist priest stood there in a daze. He was sweating profusely and his face looked extremely ugly.

What he was really worried about during this so-called diplomatic mission was this gift.

You know, Zhou Zheng was aware of the Prime Minister's arrogance.

Zhou Zheng had also heard about Lei Tong's rebellion.

Therefore, these two things are not enough to anger Zhou Zheng.

But the next gift is a completely different situation. Not only will Zhou Zheng be furious, but the entire city will be in chaos!

"Why, didn't you hear what His Majesty said?!"

Seeing the Taoist priest stammering and hesitating, Shi Sui frowned and shouted angrily.

"It's not that I didn't hear it, but I can't give this gift myself."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please move over and see it in person."

His voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was under great pressure.

"What do you mean?"

Shi Sui's face darkened. Was this what Fang Shicai meant or what the prime minister meant?

But no matter who it is, no one is qualified to ask Zhou Zheng to move!

"His Majesty......"

"It's not that I'm in a higher position, but that thing is outside the city, I can't bring it in..."

The huge feeling of oppression made Fang Shicai's heart tremble suddenly.

Then he quickly knelt on the ground.

Out of town?!

After hearing this, everyone became even more suspicious.

......
