Li Yongning has been in the court of Xuanwu Empire for so long.
Although he is now the prime minister of the Xuanwu Empire, he also knows that he will not be able to support his family forever.
After all, his Li family is just an aristocratic family.
Once he fell or he got old, he had to withdraw from the court.
Then the status of the Li family in Xuanwu City will plummet, and those former opponents will definitely not let the Li family go.
Therefore, Li Yongning must consider the future of the Li family, or himself.
His daughter will be the crown princess of the Xuanwu Empire and the future mother of the Xuanwu Empire.
It can be said that the future of the Li family actually depends on his daughter.
And now, Emperor Wu actually wants to marry his daughter to Jun Lintian as his concubine.
Jun Lintian is just a son of a noble family from another country. Once Emperor Wu marries Li Yunxin to Jun Lintian, the relationship between their Li family and the imperial court will be severed.
How could Li Yongning agree to this marriage?
Even if the Jun family was very powerful in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was only in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As the prime minister of the Xuanwu Empire, it was naturally impossible for Li Yongning to move his family to the Zhou Dynasty.
Not to mention whether Emperor Wu would let them go, even if they did, it would probably arouse the suspicion of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
When ministers from an enemy country come to their own country, which emperor wants to see such a scene?
Li Yongning stood up directly from the queue at this time and said loudly to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with this marriage."
"Wei Chen's daughter Li Yunxin is from our Xuanwu Empire, how can this be allowed? Marrying the son of an enemy’s family?”
“What’s more, the eldest prince has always been in love with the little girl, why would your majesty win over her?”
The eldest prince Xuan Fei heard this from Li Yongning? If so, he couldn't help but look at Li Yongning gratefully.
At this time, Prime Minister Li was actually willing to speak for him, and at the same time he was willing to consider from the standpoint of the Xuanwu Empire, which already made him find it extremely difficult.
After all, Jun Haotian's 100,000 troops are still in the border town of the Xuanwu Empire.
Once they offend Jun Lintian, Jun Lintian's father, Jun Haotian, will definitely not let them go.
The eldest prince also feels that his current father is indeed a bit weak.
Although the troops of the Zhou Dynasty are already approaching the city, the worst result is that both sides will suffer losses.
If the worst happens, fight!
This is what Xuan Fei thinks. There are so many iron-blooded men in the Xuanwu Empire who are willing to serve the country, so why sacrifice a woman?
Besides, scum like Jun Lintian is a devil in his lust.
Once Li Yunxin falls into his hands, the end will definitely not be good.
More importantly, Xuan Fei didn't want to see the woman he loved jumping into the fire pit.
Although he was choked by his father just now, Xuan Fei still bit the bullet and said to Emperor Wu: "Father, I agree with Prime Minister Li's point of view!"
"My son has already had an admiration for Li Yunxin. If my father feels that the generals of the Xuanwu Empire cannot resist the attack of the Zhou Dynasty." With thousands of elite soldiers, I will definitely push back the troops of the Zhou Dynasty!"
When he said this, Xuan Fei glanced at Jun Lintian coldly.
He will not save face for Jun Lintian.
Things have already progressed to this point, and Jun Lintian slapped him just now. How could Xuan Fei be able to swallow this breath.
Jun Lintian couldn't help but glance at Xuan Fei.
To be honest, at this moment, he felt like laughing.
This Xuan Fei is really lacking in confidence. He asked Emperor Wu for 200,000 elite troops as soon as he opened his mouth. The key is that he did not say that he wanted to annihilate Jun Haotian's army. He only said that he would push back Jun Haotian's army.
Two hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand, the huge advantage in numbers can already bring people huge self-confidence, but Xuan Fei only dared to say that the Zhou Dynasty’s The soldiers and horses retreated.
It really makes people laugh out loud.
Even the generals in the court couldn't help feeling ashamed when they heard Xuan Fei's words.
The most important thing in fighting is momentum!
Even if they really can't defeat them, before they go out to fight, they will definitely boast that they can wipe out all the enemy forces in Haikou.
This not only gives confidence to oneself, but also gives confidence to the court and the soldiers under his command.
If from the very beginning, we just tried to delay the enemy's attack, we would have lost a lot of momentum.
The advantage and confidence brought by two hundred thousand elite soldiers will be gone.
But those civil servants would not think so much. Now Xuan Fei and Prime Minister Li are speaking together.
They also expressed their opposition to Li Yunxin's marriage.
"No, Your Majesty! The young master of the Jun family came to our Xuanwu Empire for peace talks, but we haven't talked about it yet, so why should we show sincerity first?"
"Besides, when the two countries are at war, you should have shown your own momentum first, but your majesty did this to enhance others' momentum and destroy your own prestige."
"What's more, this young master of the Jun family is insidious and cunning... ...Oh no, the city is extremely rich. Even if Prime Minister Li's daughter is really married to the young master of the Jun family, it may not be of any help to the war."
"As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away others. Fortunately, since the eldest prince already has feelings for Li Yunxin, His Majesty insists on marrying Li Yunxin to the young master of the Jun family. What does the eldest prince think?"
"Yes, this Li Yunxin is also from our Xuanwu Empire? If we send the most beautiful woman away directly, doesn’t it make our Xuanwu Empire look cowardly?”
These civil servants all know that the eldest prince Xuan Fei has a crush on Li Yun.
Therefore, he also wanted to please the future prince and Prime Minister Li Yongning at this time.
They had almost thought about it just now.
Although this war may start, even if it does happen, the Xuanwu Empire will not be destroyed.
After all, depending on Emperor Wu’s intentions, the worst possible outcome would be to pay compensation or cede territory.
In this way, although they suffered a huge loss in face, they could at least preserve the continuation of Guo Zuo.
As long as the Xuanwu Empire still exists, these civil servants will not lose their official positions.
So it is quite necessary to please Xuan Fei, the future prince.
No one is a fool.
Since Emperor Wu has made such a decision, it means that he has lost the original high spirits in his heart.
Such an emperor will definitely not last long. On the contrary, even the eldest prince is more courageous than Emperor Wu.
Even these civil servants and military generals had an idea in their hearts that the ministers were about to fight to the death, so why did your Majesty surrender first?
Since you want to please the eldest prince Xuan Fei, you can also please the prime minister Li Yongning.
The royal family will also stand on the same front.
These civil servants must please both sides to ensure their future future.
Originally, most people were still a little afraid of Jun Lintian.
But now that they see so many people not giving Jun Lintian face, everyone feels more confident. (End of this chapter)
