Emperor Wu was very angry now, and his eyes towards the eldest prince were full of dissatisfaction.
He really didn't expect that his bastard son would ruin his plan.
From the beginning, Emperor Wu had his own plan.
He originally wanted to let Jun Lintian relax his vigilance in Xuanwu City, and then find an opportunity to kidnap Jun Lintian.
Or wait until Jun Lintian leaves before taking action.
Only in this way can the Jun family, or rather the Zhou Dynasty, doubt the Xuanwu Empire.
But the eldest prince was too anxious and wanted to attack Jun Lintian at this time.
And he still had to make the matter such a big deal.
The death of Zhou Lie is actually nothing at all, but Marquis Zhongyong was a real meritorious person.
This time, Marquis Zhongyong was beaten to death by Jun Lintian. It won’t take long for the news to spread throughout Xuanwu City, and then throughout the entire Xuanwu Empire.
By then, there might be many so-called loyal people coming to Xuanwu City to assassinate Jun Lintian.
Doing so will undoubtedly put Jun Lintian and the people around him on alert.
The more Emperor Wu thought about it, the angrier he became. Not only was he unable to let Jun Lintian relax his vigilance, but he was also asked to always pay attention to the dangers around him.
How could Emperor Wu do anything like this?
"Father, what do you mean? My son... I don't understand."
After the eldest prince heard what Emperor Wu said, his whole face changed, but he also knew that he could never admit it easily.
At this moment, he also pretended to be ignorant and confused.
The Emperor Wu sneered: "You just said that Jun Lintian killed Zhongyong Hou, but why did Zhongyong Hou fight against Jun Lintian? Wasn't it you who instigated it?!"
Cold sweat broke out on the eldest prince's forehead.
"Father... I did not instruct Marquis Zhongyong at all. Although I really want to teach Jun Lintian a lesson, I will not use our loyal men from the Xuanwu Empire to lead the way."
Xuan Fei knew very well in his heart that if he admitted that Zhongyong Hou was instigated by him, then Zhongyong Hou's death would be blamed on him.
Furthermore, my father has made it clear today that he wants to settle a score with him, and he must never admit that this matter has anything to do with him.
But Emperor Wu looked at him with cold eyes.
“My spies clearly saw you going to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion just this morning!”
“Now you still want to quibble?”
The eldest prince felt that the words in his throat were instantly choked.
He never imagined that every move he made would be under the surveillance of his father.
At this moment, he was speechless and could only look around for help.
However, none of the civil servants and generals were willing to help him.
Even Prime Minister Li Yongning couldn't help but shook his head secretly at this moment.
When he learned that the death of Marquis Zhongyong was closely related to the eldest prince.
He knew that the relationship between the eldest prince and these generals had completely deteriorated, and there was no possibility of saving them.
In other words, the eldest prince has now lost half of his chances of competing for the position of crown prince.
You must know that if you want to secure the throne, you must have the support of civil officials and military generals.
But now, as a member of the noble military generals, Zhongyong Hou was instigated by the eldest prince to take revenge on Jun Lintian, and now he was beaten to death by Jun Lintian.
These generals now couldn't help but wonder, was the eldest prince taking this opportunity to deliberately get rid of those who were unfavorable to him?
"Mother..." The eldest prince knew that none of these civil servants and generals had any intention of helping him, and could only look at his mother, Feng Zhuyue, for help.
Feng Zhuyue is such a son, how can he be willing to let his son be so wronged in this political hall?
Besides, Emperor Wu still has so many sons. If the eldest prince Xuan Fei loses face in this government hall, then the other princes will probably be ready to take action.
This is extremely detrimental to Feng Zhuyue and Xuan Fei.
Feng Zhuyue also moved slightly closer to Emperor Wu at this moment.
She considered the words in her mind and asked, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince just wants to avenge his good friend who grew up together."
"Not to mention that Marquis Zhongyong is the pillar of the country. , and now he has indeed died in the hands of the young master of the Jun family."
"No one with lofty ideals can let Zhongyong Hou die in vain."
"The eldest prince just did what those people with lofty ideals would do...Why is your majesty so angry?"
Before Emperor Wu had time to speak, Xuan Fei in the audience turned his grateful eyes towards After hugging her mother, she threw herself over.
Sure enough, at this moment, only family love is the most reliable.
Officials like Li Yongning are nothing more than fagots.
However, Emperor Wu did not give Feng Zhuyue any face.
He glanced at Feng Zhuyue with cold eyes, and said coldly: "The queen should not interfere with the important affairs of the government."
At this time, Emperor Wu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, again He looked at Jun Lintian.
His smile suddenly became warm.
"Young Master of the Jun family, I have found out what happened this time. It is all the fault of the eldest prince and has nothing to do with you."
"I have brought you trouble. Sorry, if the young master of the Jun family has nothing else to do, then this matter will be closed temporarily?”
After Xuan Fei in the audience heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems that the father still cares about him.
Although his father didn't give him a good look just now, it can still be seen from these words that his father was obviously helping him.
However, Jun Lintian sneered and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor Wu, this young master originally planned to negotiate with you properly."
"But now something like this has happened. This matter is very difficult for me to handle.”
An evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "Originally, I was living well in Xuanwu City, but first Zhou Lie and then Marquis Zhongyong came to trouble me."
"Tell me, I can give you some face, but this eldest prince just wants to drive me out of Xuanwu City..."
"If I can't give it to the eldest prince, I’m afraid he will continue to target me in the future.”
When he said this, Jun Lintian looked at the eldest prince.
“Jun Lintian, don’t be so shameless!”
Xuan Fei became angry instantly. He suddenly stood up from the ground and looked at Jun Lintian with cold eyes.
"Don't keep chirping here! Marquis Zhongyong has died in your hands, and my father didn't hold him accountable, so you have already shouldered your responsibilities."
"Now you still want to Want to teach this prince a lesson?”
“Why do you have such a big face!”
Jun Lintian was not annoyed at all at this moment. On the contrary, the evil smile on his face became even more intense. very.
"Is it difficult to do? Then don't do it." (End of Chapter)
