Seeing the confident look on Jun Lintian's face, the eldest prince couldn't help but lose his confidence.
“What do you want!”
He couldn’t help but take two steps back, but his eyes were still very fierce.
"Jun Lintian, you must understand that this is the Xuanwu Empire, not your Zhou Dynasty! It is not the territory of the Jun family!"
The Emperor Wu also had a look of dismay on his face. Delightful color.
To be honest, he did give Jun Lintian a lot of face.
As the emperor of the Xuanwu Empire, he should have had a great say, as well as a very high level of intimidation and status.
If it weren’t for the fact that Jun Haotian was now leading an army of 100,000 people to occupy Xuanyang City, it would have been impossible for Emperor Wu not to target Jun Lintian.
What's more, Zhongyong Hou died in Jun Lintian's hands.
Although these civil and military officials said nothing, in fact, those generals hated Jun Lintian.
This time, Emperor Wu had already taken a huge risk and wanted to expose the matter.
There is no doubt that he will definitely offend these generals by doing this.
However, for the sake of the peace of the Xuanwu Empire and to prevent the war from starting completely, he had no choice but to do this.
At this time, Jun Lintian continued to sneer: "My young master came here originally thinking of a truce."
"But judging from the eldest prince's intention, it seems that he wants the war to be complete. Start?”
"According to what you say, there's nothing to talk about?"
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Jun Lintian's lips.
He did not believe that Emperor Wu wanted the war to start so much.
According to the description in the original novel, the current Xuanwu Empire is actually strong on the outside and capable on the inside. Although the Xuanwu Empire has a lot of troops, in fact their combat effectiveness is simply not comparable to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the middle and later stages of the novel, he is completely reduced to a cannon fodder-like existence.
Jun Lingtian grasped this point, so he knew clearly that Emperor Wu absolutely did not want the war to start, because then the Xuanwu Empire would die faster.
After hearing Jun Lintian's words, the eldest prince's expression changed slightly.
In fact, of course he wants to start a war. After all, he doesn’t know what the Xuanwu Empire looks like now.
He was even thinking that as long as he led the troops, it would not be a problem to defeat Jun Haotian's 100,000 troops.
At that time, with his military exploits and his status as the eldest prince, it was a certainty that he would become the crown prince.
"This prince really has nothing to talk about with you. You come here just to force us to send troops. Since you want to fight so much, then fight!"
The eldest prince snorted coldly and said: " Do you really think that our Xuanwu Empire is afraid of your Great Zhou Dynasty?”
“Stop!”
The expression of Emperor Wu on the dragon throne changed instantly, and he immediately scolded the eldest prince.
At the same time, he looked at Jun Lintian and said in a gentle tone: "Young Master of the Jun family, I have never thought of going to war with your Zhou Dynasty."
"Peace is the main priority between the two countries, and wars are fought at every turn. That is what a reckless man does."
"The eldest prince cannot replace my will. If you have any other ideas, you can tell me and discuss them with me. . ”
All the civil and military officials in the court could not help but have their hearts in their throats at this moment.
Of course they know about this kind of thing, they are unlikely to be able to get involved, and no one can change Emperor Wu's mind.
Coupled with Jun Lintian's domineering personality, the specific purpose of his coming to Xuanwu City this time was not clear to the civil and military officials, so it was naturally impossible for him to talk to him easily.
But everyone is also very concerned about whether this war can be fought.
Of course those generals wanted to fight, after all, they had never been so aggrieved.
As for the civil servants... they must avoid war if they can.
Once the war starts, it will not be so easy for them to continue to make money.
After all, what is said to be a war is actually a waste of money. When the time comes, a steady stream of military pay will be sent to the border. How can they stand a chance to benefit from it?
By then, the entire Xuanwu Empire might be in chaos, business would be impossible, and previous income would have to be reduced.
The most important thing is the black gauze hats on their heads.
How could they easily lose their current status and identity when they finally got to this position?
"If you are still dissatisfied with today's matter, just say it directly."
Emperor Wu was also holding a ball of fire in his heart, but at this time he could only talk to Jun Lintian as pleasantly as possible.
"Father! How can you be so cowardly!"
The eldest prince couldn't bear it anymore. He ignored his mother's words and directly contradicted Emperor Wu.
“This Jun Lintian has now bullied us, we can let him do whatever he wants.”
“Today he dares to kill nobles, and tomorrow he will dare to kill the emperor!”
>
"If my father is blindly tolerant, how will the people in the world view the court of my Xuanwu Empire!"
When Emperor Wu heard such words, he was completely angry.
Just now, he was already thinking of ways to bring the eldest prince back, but this traitor actually wanted to contradict him at this time!
Outsiders are unclear about the current military status of the Xuanwu Empire, but Emperor Wu knows everything.
Once a war breaks out, it will be a crushing defeat!
The eldest prince is still here to support the fire, this is simply a complete traitor!
"Shut up!"
Eunuch Wu stood up angrily and said to Eunuch Feng next to him: "Slap your mouth!"
Eunuch Feng dodged and said When he arrived in front of the eldest prince, he slapped him twice.
Eunuch Feng is actually a warrior, and these two slaps showed no mercy.
He is a sensible man and the most loyal servant of Emperor Wu.
So I won’t save any face for the eldest prince at all.
"Father...you." The eldest prince covered his face in shock, his face full of astonishment.
Those two slaps really stunned him.
Even he felt that his teeth were about to be loosened.
Emperor Wu's face was cold, and he said coldly: "You traitor! Do you have a role to speak here?"
"It seems that you won't understand this unless you are punished."< br>
"Come here! Pull the eldest prince down and confine him in the East Palace!"
Then, he suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Jun Lintian: "Young Master of the Jun family, Are you satisfied with this punishment?"
Jun Lintian naturally nodded. The corner of his mouth curled up and he looked at the back of the eldest prince who was dragged down.
Then he looked back: "Forget it, let's do this for now."
"But His Majesty the Emperor Wu probably is not in the mood to negotiate now, let's talk about it another day."
After Jun Lintian finished speaking, he swaggered out of the political hall with his hands behind his back.
Only the silent civil and military officials and the furious Emperor Wu were left.
At this time, no one dares to touch Emperor Wu.
Li Yongning thought for a while, then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that Zhongyong Marquis is dead, there must be an explanation in the world. I don't know how to publicize it?" (End of Chapter)
