The eldest prince Xuan Fei felt his whole face was burning after being slapped so hard.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Ever since he was a child, his father had never hit him.
Xuan Fei felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, but he suppressed it at this time, and then suddenly realized the meaning of his father's words just now.
Have your actions ruined your father’s plan?
What's the plan?
Xuan Fei immediately asked: "Could it be that my father already has a plan to target Jun Lintian?"
"Is it possible that he plans to gather an army to fight back to the border?"
He As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately knelt down on one knee again: "Father! My son, Xuan Fei, invites you to fight!"
"Shut up!"
Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu glared at him coldly, his eyes full of displeasure.
At this time, Xuan Fei still couldn't understand his profound meaning.
Is his son really so useless?
Emperor Wu glanced at Xuan Fei and said coldly: "When did I say I would fight back?"
"And you, you still want to lead the troops yourself? You are fighting a war Is it better than Qin Chi? ”
There was a hint of disdain in his tone.
He is not very optimistic about his son.
Especially the matter of taking the initiative to lead troops to counterattack, it is even more overestimating one's own capabilities.
Qin Chi has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and has made great military exploits, but Xuan Fei has not even read a few military books.
If the Xuanwu Empire's army were really handed over to him, just two wars would be enough to exhaust all the troops.
Xuan Fei's face became increasingly ugly.
But at the moment, he could only hold back his anger and keep in his heart what the queen mother had said to him before.
After all, Emperor Wu is still the emperor of the Xuanwu Empire.
He himself is just a prince. Whether he can become the crown prince and whether he can inherit the throne in the future are all questions. Naturally, he can no longer contradict his father.
Xuan Fei could only suppress his anger and ask: "What does the father mean?"
Emperor Wu sneered and said: "It's not good for you to know so much. Your personality is not suitable for participating in these plans."
"But my idea is nothing more than to want Mabi to be king. God, as long as he puts his guard down here, I can find a suitable opportunity to kidnap him."
"I can even send him to the ancient Nanman country. When the time comes, I will take care of the trouble. The profit of the fisherman.”
The Emperor Wu’s idea is actually quite simple.
He knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty not only had enmity with their Xuanwu Empire, but also had conflicts with the ancient Southern Barbarians in recent times.
In particular, Aguda, the prince of the ancient Nanman Kingdom, disappeared near the Zhou Dynasty.
Just like his son Xuan Feng, since they both disappeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they must have something to do with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It is even possible that the Jun family did it.
Emperor Wu never thought of having a direct conflict with the Zhou Dynasty.
Doing that will only consume your own troops.
You must know that the Xuanwu Empire is surrounded by a pack of wolves. Even if it wins the battle with the Zhou Dynasty, it will never be able to resist the invasion of other countries.
But after Xuan Fei heard what Emperor Wu said, his face showed embarrassment.
"Father, I'm afraid your plan will not succeed."
"It is extremely difficult to kidnap Jun Lintian. This person is extremely cunning and thoughtful, and..."
< br>Xuan Fei hesitated for a moment, and finally told his guess: "If I am not wrong, Jun Lintian must be accompanied by a top master."
"Father, don't even think about it. Since Jun Lintian is sure to come to the Xuanwu Empire, how can he only bring those guards with him?"
"It is absolutely impossible for the Jun family to let him have trouble here."
Hearing this, Emperor Wu couldn't help but frown slightly, obviously not satisfied with Xuan Fei's question.
He glanced at Xuan Fei coldly and said in a cold voice: "Are you questioning my decision?" Xuan Fei was shocked, lowered his head quickly, suppressed his anger and said: "Father, I have absolutely no intention of doing so!”
"It's just that Jun Lintian is so cunning. How could he kill Zhou Lie on his own? He also dumped the body near the city gate."
"My son now even doubts that his cultivation is compared to It was much higher before, and the risk of kidnapping him is too great."
"If the plan fails, not only will it not be possible to get rid of him, but it will cause even greater trouble."
After hearing these words, Emperor Wu did not answer for a long time, but just stared at Xuan Fei silently.
It took him a long time before he spoke: "I have my own plans, and it's not your turn to intervene yet!"
Although Xuan Fei was angry after hearing this, he also understood that if he continued to argue, he would only make his father even more unhappy.
He gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said no more.
But a seed has been planted in my heart.
After this incident, Xuan Fei became more and more unwilling to sit still and wait for death.
If he does not make some achievements himself, I am afraid that his father will not be able to hand over the throne to him with confidence in the end...
————————
After leaving the imperial study room.
A hint of sinisterness flashed across Xuan Fei's face.
Since my father has become so timid, he naturally has to take the lead.
He now has a rough plan.
Right now, Zhou Lie had died in Jun Lintian's hands.
The news must have spread back to the Zhou family, and the head of the Zhou family, Zhongyong Hou Zhou Yue, has always doted on his legitimate son.
After hearing the news of Zhou Lie’s death, Jun Lintian would definitely not be spared lightly.
When he thought of this, Xuan Fei couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He couldn't wait to implement this plan.
My father doesn’t want to hurt Jun Lintian, but others may not dare to do it.
Marquis Zhongyong was extremely loyal to the court. As long as he told him what happened in the imperial study just now, Marquis Zhongyong would definitely be disappointed with the court and his father.
When the time comes, he will definitely seek an explanation from Jun Lintian due to the pain of losing his son and the disappointment in the court.
Not long after.
Xuan Fei has already arrived at the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
At this moment, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion was filled with a dull atmosphere. Even the guards standing at the door had no smile on their faces.
When they saw the eldest prince approaching, the guards quickly saluted.
“See the eldest prince!”
Xuan Fei looked disappointed and said, “This prince has already heard about your young master’s death.”
"I, the prince, have some important matters regarding brother Zhou Lie that I want to discuss with your family head."
As a prince, it is naturally impossible for him to be brothers with anyone outside the royal family.
The reason why he calls Zhou Lie brother is just to make these people remember his kindness.
When the guard heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved on his face.
"Your Highness...I will go in and inform the head of the family soon."
Then, the eldest prince entered the Zhou family under the guidance of the guards.
In the flower hall of the Zhou family.
Zhou Lie's body was covered with white cloth and placed in the center of the flower hall.
Zhongyong Hou Zhou Yue sat upright, his eyes full of sadness.
Several of his wives and concubines were also wiping away tears, but it was unknown how many of them were sincere. (End of this chapter)
