Chapter 121 Emperor Zhou’s Plan
In the Council Hall.
The royalist faction, led by Prime Minister Luo Wenshan, looked at each other in bewilderment.
After seeing the expression on Emperor Zhou’s face as if he had eaten a fly.
They also felt something was wrong.
A minister nearby whispered to Luo Wenshan, "Prime Minister, what happened? Why does His Majesty look so grim?"
Luo Wenshan frowned and whispered, "I don't know either, but I think it should be related to the Jun family."
"Perhaps His Majesty wanted to get rid of Jun Haotian, but unfortunately not only did he fail to do so, but the Jun family regained the upper hand."
At the border, there was no one else except General Jun Haotian.
When the ministers nearby heard this, they all nodded.
"Perhaps so. Only Jun Haotian could have done something to make His Majesty look so unhappy."
"This time, the Jun family took advantage of him again. It's really abominable."
"What about the matter of Daqian's Ninth Prince Zhao Yuanbai? Can Commander Liu still take people to the Jun family?"
"It's hard to say... It can only be decided by Your Majesty."
Although Luo Wenshan and others whispered some speculative words.
But in fact they know very well.
The current His Majesty would probably not dare to let Commander Liu take people to the Jun family to ask for someone.
The commander of the imperial guards, Liu Qing, who was standing at the entrance of the hall, was also feeling quite embarrassed at this moment.
He couldn't help but cough lightly, and then asked Emperor Zhou: "Your Majesty, do I need to take someone to your house?"
After Liu Qing finished speaking, all the ministers in the council hall turned their eyes to Emperor Zhou.
Emperor Zhou's expression became even uglier at this time.
Is the slap in the face coming so quickly?
How can he, an emperor, save his face?
But at this time, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
Emperor Zhou softened his expression and said in a cold tone, "Forget it. It's not appropriate to send people to the Jun family to arrest people in such a high-profile manner."
"Moreover, the person they arrested was the son of General Jun Haotian. This is really... a disgrace. Let's just leave this matter alone for now."
After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, he felt his face burning.
Just now he made such a big show, wanting Liu Qing to go to Jun's house to arrest someone.
But now he has directly taken back his decision, which is undoubtedly a slap in his own face!
"Yes!"
Liu Qing was also very embarrassed. He could only bow respectfully and return to his seat.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the council hall was somewhat depressing.
But everyone present ignored one person.
That is Zhao Yuanbai, the ninth prince of Daqian.
Zhao Yuanbai had just looked at Emperor Zhou's face, which had turned pale and red, and he felt very unhappy.
Finally, I heard that Emperor Zhou wanted to revoke his order.
In fact, this matter should be put on hold for the time being!
"Wait! This prince has something to say!"
Zhao Yuanbai really couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to discuss the matter among yourselves.
But who can consider the feelings of this prince? !
This prince is now cuckolded!
When Zhao Yuanbai thought of this, he felt that the anger in his chest was about to burst out.
He took a step forward, glared at Emperor Zhou, and said angrily: "Your Majesty! Is this the solution you proposed?"
"This prince came here with such sincerity to marry Princess Qingluan, but now not only did he not even see her, he was also beaten up!"
"That's how Jun Lintian treats me, the Ninth Prince of Daqian! Is this how you treat guests in Dazhou?"
The more Zhao Yuanbai spoke, the angrier he became. He felt like he was going crazy.
His fiancée is now in the Jun family, and he doesn't know what she did with Jun Lintian! The letter from the eldest prince to him was very clear.
Jun Lintian and Princess Qingluan dared to have an affair in the palace.
Now that the two of them are in Jun Lintian's own territory, haven't they already done everything? !
You know, Zhao Yuanbai never even touched Zhou Qingluan's hand, and they hadn't even met each other a few times.
If I come too late, I will marry a slut!
Hearing what Zhao Yuanbai said, Emperor Zhou felt as if he was slapped in the face again.
His expression became uglier and uglier, and he could not help but say in a deep voice: "Ninth Prince, his Jun family's actions cannot represent our Great Zhou!"
But Zhao Yuanbai doesn't care about so many things now.
He looked at me unkindly and said directly, "Then Your Majesty, at least give this prince an explanation!"
"My prince's fiancée is now in the Jun family! Who knows what Jun Lintian did to her?"
"Maybe they have done everything they should and shouldn't have done! Am I going to marry a slut?"
Zhao Yuanbai could no longer bear it and just made things clear.
If the Jun family refuses to let me go, then this marriage will be over!
Not only will the two countries be unable to form an alliance, they may even go to war again because of this matter!
Zhao Yuanbai once again said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
"This prince represents the reputation of Daqian, and there is no way I can marry a slut!"
Luo Wenshan on the side couldn't help but stand up.
Then, he said to Emperor Zhou: "Your Majesty! I think you should at least give the Ninth Prince an explanation."
"Otherwise, if this matter were to spread, it would be extremely detrimental to our Great Zhou Dynasty and would also cause ridicule."
Emperor Zhou was so angry that his head was about to smoke when he looked at Luo Wenshan and Zhao Yuanbai standing on the stage.
That's what you would say!
Don’t I want to teach Jun Lintian a lesson?
Don’t I want to completely eliminate the Jun family?
But can I do it?
You know, although Emperor Zhou has ascended the throne, he does not have military power!
As long as the Jun family controls the military power of the Great Zhou, Emperor Zhou will never be able to sleep peacefully!
At this time in the hall, Donghuang Wenshan and Donghuang Taining looked at each other, then lowered their heads and did not participate in this matter at all.
No matter what you say, if you wanted to take action against the Jun family, why would you wait until now?
The two of them smiled knowingly and just watched the excitement in the crowd.
And just then.
Emperor Zhou's anger had almost reached its peak, and he was absolutely unwilling to let the Jun family go.
So, he quickly came up with a way to disgust Jun Haotian.
Emperor Zhou looked at Zhao Yuanbai, who was angry, and then said, "Ninth Prince, let's leave this matter here for now."
"But you can rest assured that I will give you an explanation."
When Zhao Yuanbai heard this, he didn't quite believe it.
Give an explanation?
What explanation can you give? If you bring Zhou Qingluan back now and let her marry me, will she no longer be a slut?
He was about to speak, but heard Emperor Zhou slowly say, "Eunuch Li, pass on my decree to hold a martial arts competition at Tianling Academy in ten days."
There was a barely perceptible hint of coldness in Emperor Zhou's eyes.
He then said: "This competition is to select the most outstanding talents of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is also for the glory and future of our Great Zhou!"
"Therefore, all the young masters and direct descendants of the major families must participate."
"Of course……"
Emperor Zhou smiled again, "The poor children of the Great Zhou can also participate."
His purpose was to get Jun Lintian to participate in the competition as well.
And as long as Jun Lintian dares to participate.
Emperor Zhou will secretly send someone to let him know what it means that swords have no eyes!
