Chapter 369 He was shaken
Zheng Shicheng was shocked by his mother's words and looked at the two people in front of him in a daze.
When the previous emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, he still adhered to the Zheng family's ancestral precepts of being loyal ministers for generations.
But after hearing the news that Master Shen and others had been beheaded, his thoughts about Chunchen seemed to be shaken invisibly.
But he was thousands of miles away and not close to the new emperor, and the new emperor did not take any action towards him, so he did not think much about it.
When Chenzhou was hit by a disaster and his request for disaster relief from the imperial court went unanswered, he remained unwavering.
When the Prince of Zhao took over Linzhou and other places, and Chenzhou was in imminent danger, the imperial court vowed that the Prince of Zhao would not attack, and asked him to bear all the pressure alone, he did not waver;
He received a secret report that the King of Zhao might attack Chenzhou at any time, and the Chenzhou army was struggling to even get enough food and clothing. When the court asked him to find a solution himself, he remained unmoved.
It was not until this moment that his old mother suddenly appeared and woke him up with a word.
Zheng Shicheng faced his true heart, his eyes became clearer and clearer, and he had to admit that he was now shaken.
"I wonder what plan Your Highness has," Zheng Shicheng bowed and asked Sheng Ze in a deep voice.
His appearance clearly showed his attitude of submission.
Zheng Shicheng was called a Confucian general by the late emperor, so he was naturally not stupid. Since his mother appeared here, his family must have been properly settled, and the last bit of worry in his heart was gone.
Old Madam Zheng looked at him with relief. Fortunately, God had mercy on her and did not let the only male in her Zheng family die in such an unclear way.
Sheng Ze clasped his fists and returned the greeting. "Master Zheng, please follow me to northern Hubei first. We'll make arrangements there."
Zheng Shicheng didn't dare to accept his greeting. He turned sideways and replied respectfully, "Everything is up to your Highness."
It's easy to figure out that since this person dared to let him go to northern Hubei, Liang Cheng from northern Hubei must be his man.
Even veterans like Liang Cheng are willing to follow him, so why can't he
What's more, the one in front of him is the legitimate son.
After Sheng Zhan announced his death, he still appeared here. Anyone with a little common sense would know what was going on.
Zheng Shicheng's thoughts quickly turned to what might happen in the future, and his mind was turning several corners.
Sheng Ze originally thought that it would take some time to convince Zheng Shicheng, but he didn't expect that just a few words from Old Lady Zheng would make him make the decision.
"Master, someone is coming." Ling Yun's voice sounded outside the big tent.
Sheng Ze looked at the Zheng family mother and son, "Old Madam, Lord Zheng, let's go."
Zheng Shicheng only took the most important things and left without hesitation.
King Zhao is different from ordinary people. He will not kill people indiscriminately in the places he conquers unless he encounters fierce resistance.
In other words, even if Chenzhou was captured, ordinary people would be fine.
However, Zheng Shicheng's character made the people around him loyal, and he was reluctant to see them being liquidated by King Zhao later, so before leaving, he specifically talked to Sheng Ze and asked for their opinion.
"I swear to follow you till death!"
Unexpectedly, none of the 120 personal soldiers were willing to stay.
Zheng Shicheng felt emotional and sad, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he looked at Shengze.
Sheng Ze nodded, "The night is long and dreams are many, let's go now."
After saying that, he and Ling Yun left first.
Zheng Shicheng quickly asked someone to follow.
The group left the camp quietly under the cover of night.
Shen Qingqian suddenly woke up from her sleep, and with her hands covering her chest, she could clearly feel how fast her heart was beating.
She had a nightmare that was so real that it seemed as if it had really happened.
