Zheng Xiong gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Feng angrily.
This is actually the same method that Zhao Feng came up with when Zheng Bo came to the court and was unwilling to kneel down.
To put it bluntly, although it is known that Zheng Xiong only has one son, Zheng Bo, if nothing unexpected happens, Zheng Bo will definitely inherit Zheng Xiong's title and the iron book of alchemy in Zheng Xiong's hand in the future.
But that would have to wait until Zheng Bo inherited it before he could enjoy this benefit. But now that Zheng Xiong is still alive, Zheng Bo is just an ordinary person with a better background.
Zheng Xiong gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Feng angrily.
"Master Zhao, are you sure you want to do this?"
Zhao Feng looked at Zheng Xiong calmly, pointed at Zheng Bo and said.
"If what I did is perfect, then what is what he did?"
"When he did these things, he was just relying on his status, but today I am going to tell you that the emperor is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty!"
Zheng Xiong took a deep breath and tried his best to control his anger.
"Okay, then I will pass on my title to him!"
Zhao Feng smiled contemptuously.
"I think you may have forgotten something, Marquis. According to the inheritance of titles in the Zhou Dynasty, only when the current Marquis dies can his descendants inherit it!"
"Is it possible that Marquis Anwen wants to commit suicide here?"
Zheng Xiong took a deep breath, and he almost forgot about this.
According to the inheritance rules of the title of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only after his death can his descendants be eligible to inherit the title.
Looking at the iron certificate of the alchemy book that he had someone take out, Zheng Xiong looked at Zheng Bo with sadness.
"Son, you go with them first, I will definitely find a way to rescue you!"
"Believe me, I won't let you die!"
Zheng Xiong comforted Zheng Bo like this, Zhao Feng waved his hand directly, and the officials of Dali Temple immediately pulled Zheng Bo away.
At this time, Zheng Bo was like a dead dog. He could no longer live up to his previous performance. He even turned pale with fright and could only mumble these two words in his mouth.
"Save me, save me..."
After Zheng Bo was pulled away, Zheng Xiong turned his head and stared at Zhao Feng as if he wanted to eat someone.
"Good, good to you, Zhao Feng! I, Marquis Anwen, have taken note of this matter today!"
"I swear I won't be a human being until you pay the price!"
Zhao Feng looked at Zheng Xiong calmly, not at all moved by Zheng Xiong's threat.
"Okay, Marquis Anwen, please do what you want. As for the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book, take it back and keep it safe. Maybe you will need it sometime!"
Zheng Xiong took a deep breath, gave Zhao Feng a vicious look, then turned around and left.
Seeing that Zheng Bo was really pulled down by the government officials, the people outside burst into cheers of joy.
Zhang Dazhuang also stood up quickly and expressed his gratitude to Zhao Feng and Zhou Rui.
"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Mr. Zhao. It is you who have made the unfair injustice suffered by my little girl wash away, and my little girl can rest in peace at last!"
Zhao Feng shook his head, said a few words to Zhang Dazhuang, and followed Zhou Rui directly to the back.
After walking to the back, Zhou Rui sighed softly, looked up at Zhao Feng and said.
"Mr. Zhao, have we gone a little too far?"
Zhao Feng frowned and looked at Zhou Rui quietly.
Zhou Rui said helplessly.
"Although Marquis Anwen is not a powerful noble among these nobles, his popularity is still very good."
"And his family also owns a lot of land. I'm afraid this will be detrimental to our implementation of the New Deal!"
Zhao Feng waved his hand and asked Zhou Rui seriously.
"Your Highness, I want to ask you something. Please answer me honestly."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Rui immediately sat upright. He and Zhao Feng had met many times, but Zhao Feng had never been so serious.
So at this time he could know that what Zhao Feng was going to say must be a big deal.
As expected, Zhao Feng looked into Zhou Rui's eyes seriously and said straightforwardly.
"If it is possible for His Highness to eventually ascend to the position of the Nine-Five Supreme Being, how do you plan to develop the Zhou Dynasty?"
Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand with a wry smile.
"Mr. Zhao is joking. I haven't thought about these things at all. It's good to be able to save my own life."
Zhao Feng looked into Zhou Rui's eyes quietly and suddenly laughed.
"Your Highness, there are no outsiders here. The sound insulation effect of these walls in Dali Temple is famously good. If you don't speak your mind at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you anymore."
When Zhou Rui heard this, he suddenly fell silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Feng.
Originally, Zhou Rui had been pretending to be very kind, but at this time, Zhou Rui's expression became as cold as Zhao Feng's, as if there was no emotion involved.
"As expected of Mr. Zhao, he can really see through my disguise."
"Mr. Zhao, you are right. Since you are a prince, who wouldn't be interested in the position of the Ninth Five Supreme Being?"
"It's just that if I want to take this path, the effort I have to put in must be more difficult than others. That's why I didn't show my desire for the throne before, so as not to let others regard me as a stumbling block. While I'm still here, Get rid of me before I grow up."
Zhao Feng nodded slowly. This was also the first time he told the truth to Zhou Rui in this situation. Zhou Kang was just like him on the surface, simple and could hardly hide any secrets.
But Zhou Rui is different. I'm afraid no one understands Zhou Rui at all, not even Zhou Kang!
"To answer your question, Mr. Zhao, if I can really succeed, I will eliminate excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, strictly investigate corrupt officials, recuperate internally, and avoid war externally. In short, I will make the Zhou Dynasty change from its current precarious situation. Recover!"
After hearing Zhou Rui's words, Zhao Feng slowly shook his head.
"Your Highness, what you said is too general."
"Haven't you learned anything about governing a country?"
Zhou Rui narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly.
"I have followed many teachers, and they also taught me some strategies for governing the country."
"But I can't figure out what method should be used to bring the Zhou Dynasty to its peak!"
After Zhao Feng listened to Zhou Rui's words, he nodded slowly and did not answer Zhou Rui. Instead, he stood up directly.
"If your Highness is willing to believe me, I will do my best to help you."
"Hopefully there won't be another feud between the two of us."
After Zhao Feng said this, he walked out directly.
Zhou Rui looked at Zhao Feng's back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed softly in his heart.
Maybe Zhao Feng and Zhou Kang are more suitable than Zhao Feng and himself. If Zhao Feng assists Zhou Kang, it will definitely make the Zhou Dynasty prosperous.
But the problem is that he will never be controlled by others, even the resourceful Zhao Feng!
