    Now he is still in charge of Zhou Zheng, so why should he wear an official uniform.

    "I knew Your Highness that you didn't know about this matter and came here to remind His Highness that you were worried that Your Highness would offend the Emperor. Today, the Emperor ordered you to take power."

    Bai Jizhong told Zhou Zhen the news he had heard, and now all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew the situation.

    "Father is in power?"

    Zhou was stunned for a moment, how long has it been since he will be in power in person?  Zhou Zheng felt that the time passed so quickly that he didn't fully feel it.

    "That's right."

    Bai Jizhong nodded.

    "Why?" Zhou Zheng didn't understand why he suddenly came to power in person. Zhou Zheng couldn't figure out what this was all about.

    "Your Highness, I heard that the prince is back."

    Bai Jizhong lowered his voice and told Zhou Zheng that Zhou Heng had returned to Chang'an.

    "Prince?"

    Zhou Zheng squinted his eyes, shouldn't Zhou Heng be in the southern border?  How did you come to Chang'an?

    "It's true, it's confirmed now, today the crown prince will definitely go to court, and the emperor will also rule in person." Bai Jizhong said with certainty.

    Bai Jizhong can be sure that the emperor came back to power because of the prince.

    Zhou froze in place, not knowing what to say.

    "As soon as the prince came, the emperor chose to be in power. Could it be that these days are all fake?" Zhou Zheng's eyes fell on Bai Jizhong while speaking.

    It seems that he wants to find the answer from Bai Jizhong.

    Bai Jizhong nodded slowly, maybe Zhou Zheng was tricked by the emperor.

    "Why on earth is this?" Zhou Zheng still couldn't figure it out.

    "Your Highness, I have something I don't know if I should say it or not." Bai Jizhong's expression suddenly became serious, as if what he was going to say next was very important and would even involve some serious matters.

    "You all go down."

    Zhou Zheng asked the people around him to retreat, and brought Bai Jizhong back to the front hall of Prince Lu's Mansion.

    "Let's talk."

    Zhou Zheng asked Bai Jizhong to say it, even if he made a mistake, he would not blame Bai Jizhong.

    "Your Highness, in my opinion, there are two reasons for this matter. First, the Great Zhou conquered the Western Yi, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Seven Kingdoms. The Three Kingdoms Alliance in the south exerted pressure, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was imminent. The Emperor felt that once the Great Zhou could not bear it,  You will inevitably suffer humiliation, you will definitely have to cede land and pay compensation, such humiliation, such infamy, the emperor is unwilling to bear it. So he chose to let His Highness take over as the government."

    Bai Jizhong's tone became serious. It's good that he was wrong about this matter. If he was right, the relationship between Emperor Guangxiao and Zhou Zheng would be completely broken from now on.

    Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes.

    Both eyes fixed on Bai Jizhong.

    "According to what you mean, Father found a scapegoat, and I was the victim?" Zhou Zheng clenched his fists, he couldn't believe that this was true.

    "That's right."

    Bai Jizhong nodded seriously. At this point, they have to think this way. Now that everyone knows that the crisis in the southern border has been lifted, and the emperor is now in power again, it shows that the problem is more complicated than they imagined.

    "If this is the case, father is too unfair."

    Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth and said.

    Emperor Guangxiao is using himself.

    "Your Highness, all of this is just speculation by the officials. Whether it is true or not, you need to find out for yourself, Your Highness." Bai Jizhong said again.

    Zhou Zheng looked at Bai Jizhong, "Go on, I want to know what else is the reason." Zhou Zheng wanted to know how many things were behind Emperor Guangxiao's letting him act as the government.

    "The second reason is that the emperor is under pressure and is ill. He is unable to govern in person and needs a substitute. However, the crown prince, King Zhao, and His Royal Highness King Yan are not in Chang'an. The emperor can only choose your highness to act as his substitute."

    Bai Jizhong mentioned the second reason.

    Zhou Zheng listened to Bai Jizhong's words, and the second reason was easier to accept. Since the prince and the others were not around, he should act as his own representative.

    "Is there any problem with this?"

    Zhou Zheng said weakly, wondering if there is something hidden in this matter.

    "Your Highness, since ancient times, the prince has been acting as the prince, and there are other princes acting as the prince. The emperor chose you, not because the prince is not in Chang'an, but because he was worried. Under the circumstances at that time, if he chose the prince to act as the prince, the emperor was worried that you would mutiny.  .¡±

    Bai Jizhong said slowly.

    "What?"

      After hearing Bai Jizhong's words, Zhou Zheng sat up directly from the chair, this matter can't be said casually, the mutiny will be beheaded.

    "That's right, mutiny."

    Bai Jizhong confirmed what he said again.

    If Emperor Guangxiao had chosen the crown prince at that time, Zhou Zhen really had his own ability to mutiny.

    Behind Zhou Zheng was the queen, who used the queen to control the palace, and Zhou Zheng made frequent friends with officials in Chang'an. As long as Zhou Zheng chose to mutiny at that time, I believe this matter would be successful.

    Therefore, in Bai Jizhong's view, acting on behalf of the government is just to appease Zhou Zhen, which can be said to be a tactic to slow down the army. Now that the prince is back, Emperor Guangxiao will naturally not be worried.

    "A calculation again?"

    Zhou Zheng sat down and said slowly.

    According to what Bai Jizhong said, behind this deputy government, the water flow is really muddy, and it is easy to drown.

    "Your Highness, now that the prince is back, you should also make a plan."

    Bai Jizhong reminded Zhou Zhen that from now on they can't relax any more.

    "I understand that Zhou Heng's triumphant return is the number one hero of my Great Zhou." Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, Zhou Heng's own efforts to contact the crisis in the southern border are indeed gratifying.

    "Let's go."

    Zhou stood up and said lightly.

    Today he wants to go up to the court to see how Zhou Heng is showing off his might

    Outside the palace, all civil and military officials gathered, waiting to open the palace gate.

    "I heard that the prince is back, do you know?" Qu Xu walked to Yu Shilin and Bao Ying and asked them. He also got the news from Qu Jingning this morning.

    "Got it, good days are coming."

    Bao Ying said with a smile, the prince is back, they no longer need to look at Zhou Zheng's face, these days, they are completely marginalized, it's okay to give advice on all things, but Zhou Zheng never accepts it.

    For example, a few days ago, they wanted to discuss with Zhou Zheng about the autumn clothes of the three armies who were going to conquer Xiyi, but Zhou Zheng talked about it and ignored them at all.

    Now that Zhou Heng is back, things have become much easier.

    "The prince is here!"

    Soon someone saw Zhou Heng's carriage, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Zhou Heng got off the carriage.

    Seeing Zhou Heng, everyone bowed and saluted immediately.

    "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

    "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

    Everyone saluted one after another, Zhou Heng smiled and waved his hands, indicating that there is no need to be too polite.

    "My lords, you are welcome." Zhou Heng said slowly.

    "Your Highness, I heard that you came back with a victorious performance this time. Congratulations. Congratulations." Bao Ying stepped forward to congratulate Zhou Heng. They had heard everything about the Southern Tang Dynasty.

    Defeating the 100,000 troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty, killing Zhu Houde, and regaining the land west of Taihang Mountain is definitely a great contribution.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
