Now that Zhou Kang handed over the table, Cui Keyin and Zhou Heng returned to the camp hand in hand, and Shen Mingzhu was depressed and silently followed.

When the ministers heard this exciting news, they all smiled. They have always been worried that Zhou Heng will follow in the footsteps of Emperor An and die before leaving the school, so they explained the aftermath to their families before they set out, and they were also depressed along the way, but they just tried to cover it up and not let Zhou Heng see it. Zhou Heng actually took in the worries of the ministers, but he didn't expose them, and when he arrived at Yiyang City, the two armies faced each other, and directly used cannons to threaten Zhou Kang, and by the way, the ministers were also shocked.

The cannon is the biggest military secret, except for a few people such as Tang Tianzheng, most of the courtiers did not know that Zhou Heng had such a secret weapon in his hands. During the transportation, it was also loaded in a special carriage, and it was pulled by horses, and the secrecy was quite good.

In the roar of the cannons, Zhou Kang's dream of being an emperor was shattered, but the imperial army from top to bottom was greatly encouraged. Quelling a rebellion without a single soldier is a real soldier who surrenders without a fight. The courtiers were full of confidence, and they really wanted to shout a few times: "My great dynasty is mighty, and the emperor is mighty!" ”

The morale of the soldiers was even higher, and their waists were straight, and their eyes showed admiration. It is a great honor to be able to fight side by side with the emperor. Although they have not fought with the enemy, they will have to tell their children and grandchildren about the glory of their personal expedition with the emperor, and pass it on from generation to generation.

Zhou Heng took Cui Keyin's hand and walked in the direction of the Chinese army's big tent, Cui Keyin was puzzled and stopped to look at him.

"You and I are husband and wife, the rebels surrendered, and you should also surrender together." Zhou Heng said with a smile.

Behind the two, Shen Mingzhu's tears finally fell. Neither of them noticed.

Cui Keyin thought for a moment. Feeling that even if he surrendered, there was no place to violate it, so he nodded and said softly: "Okay." ”

The ministers were overjoyed, and they didn't care about the emperor bringing the queen. Shen Mingzhu did not mention it since he returned to the camp.

The two sat down in the main seat, and the ministers were listed according to the size and rank of civil and military officials, and Zhou Kang tied himself up and was escorted in.

Cui Keyin glanced at him twice and found that he was medium-looking, not good-looking, nor ugly. The skin is very white though. I don't know if it's because of the surrender, or if it's just by nature. His appearance is not similar to Zhou Heng, if you don't know, you will definitely not be able to guess that the two are brothers.

Zhou Heng saw Cui Keyin look at Zhou Kang twice, and then turned his head to look at himself. There is a sense of contrast. He explained in a low voice: "The second brother looks like his biological mother. ”

Cui Keyin was stunned. No wonder. It seems that Zhou Kang's biological mother looks very ordinary, but I don't know if she was lucky or unlucky, she gave birth to a son. to have a title.

Zhou Kang came to Zhou Heng, hesitated, and looked up at Zhou Heng again, as if he was waiting for Zhou Heng to open his mouth so that he didn't have to pay homage. It's a pity that Zhou Heng was turning his head sideways and whispering to Cui Keyin, but he didn't see his expression.

Cui Keyin noticed it and didn't remind it. What qualifications do those who conspire against the Shrine be exempted from worship? It's not a triumphant return to the court.

Tang Tianzheng came out at this time and said: "The king of Chu has bound himself to ask for sin, why don't you pay homage?" ”

Zhou Kang was depressed, so he had to reluctantly kneel down and said: "The guilty minister is guilty, please ask the emperor to be magnanimous." ”

It's really enough, he is the elder brother who was born a few years earlier than Zhou Heng, and there is no heir to succeed to the throne after Emperor An's death, no matter what aspect it is, he should succeed him. The ministers are really confused, no, they were poured ecstasy soup by Zhou Heng to elect Zhou Heng to succeed him.

If he hadn't been preempted, why would he have rebelled? has long been welcomed to the capital by the ministers to ascend the throne, what is the matter with Zhou Heng?

Zhou Kang was discouraged after handing over the table, and he was humiliated and self-bound, only deep despair, but after seeing Zhou Heng, all emotions disappeared, and the obsession of "Xiaosi robbed me of the throne" in his mind regained the upper hand, and Zhou Heng's gaze was not only not guilty and afraid, but full of hatred.

Zhou Heng was also looking at him.

In terms of selfishness, Zhou Kang is the elder brother; On the public, Zhou Kang is a courtier. The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs, so Zhou Kang must be seen as a courtier. If there was no rebellion against this section, Zhou Heng would definitely come forward to help him when he saw it, and he would not really accept his courtesy.

This dynasty pays attention to brothers, friends and brothers, and it is always necessary to be pretentious.

But he rebelled, was suppressed, and surrendered, Zhou Heng naturally didn't need to be like this. At this time, if you step forward to help, it is not tolerance, but stupidity, and whoever is idle in the future can come to rebel against one, so you have to do it?

The atmosphere in the tent was strange for a moment.

Cui Keyin was the first to break the silence and asked knowingly: "This is the King of Chu?" ”

I'm really embarrassed, she married into the royal family, and Zhou Kang has been a vassal for a long time.

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Exactly." ”

Zhou Kang had no choice but to say loudly again: "The criminal minister Zhou Kang, beg the emperor to be magnanimous for the sake of his father." ”

The ministers all looked at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng didn't answer, smiled at a civil official, and said, "Yu Qing has something to say?" ”

The official surnamed Yu who was named came out and said: "The minister thinks that the king of Chu rebelled and should be punished, but he is the bloodline of Wenzong, the son and grandson of the emperor, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

Cui Keyin glanced at this person meaningfully, Zhou Kang pleaded guilty twice, but Zhou Heng ignored it, making it clear that he didn't want to raise it high and let it go gently, to what extent would this person have to jump out to intercede for him. After thinking about it, it can't be Zhou Kang's spy in the court, right? Even the nursery has been dug up to sacrifice the flag, can he still live like a little shrimp until now?

In fact, Cui Keyin misunderstood, this person is just pedantic, and he is really not Zhou Kang's spy.

Before Zhou Heng could speak, a general came out of the list of generals, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Your Majesty, although the King of Chu is of Wenzong's bloodline, he is guilty of the crime of rebellion and deserves to be punished." ”

Zhou Kang knelt on the ground, listening to the arguments of the ministers, and his heart was full of hatred.

Zhou Heng listened with a smile, glanced at him from time to time, and smiled at him when he met his hideous expression of gritted teeth and eyes that were about to breathe fire, and continued to listen to the quarrels of the ministers, but he didn't let him get up.

Cui Keyin couldn't help but feel sad for Zhou Kang, these courtiers who were good at fighting quarrels were not moderate, even if they quarreled for three days and three nights, they could still be energetic and talkative. It seems that Zhou Heng has made up his mind to let Zhou Kang suffer first.

Zhou Kang has been pampered since he was a child, when did he suffer this kind of sin? You don't have to kneel down for three days and three nights, and your knees must be wasted if you kneel down in one day.

Sure enough, there was never a quarrel until it was dark, and the tent was lit up, but the courtiers still didn't make a difference. Zhou Heng kept smiling and listening, as if the more he listened, the more interested he became, the more he listened, the more energetic he became, and he was afraid that Cui Keyin would be hungry, so he asked her to serve her snacks. Cui Keyin was not polite, in front of the courtiers and Zhou Kang, she covered it with her sleeves, and Wenwen ate quietly.

Zhou Kang watched Cui Keyin eat dim sum, his stomach growled, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he kept swallowing.

Cui Keyin just didn't see it. (To be continued.) )
