He saw that all the civil and military officials in the court agreed with his decision and said they wanted to attack the Xuanwu Empire.
Emperor Zhou felt more energetic.
Yes, this is what it feels like to have power back.
Although he still had some disgust towards Luo Wenshan in his heart, he had to admit that Luo Wenshan could indeed understand what he meant.
Emperor Zhou couldn't help but look at Luo Wenshan again.
Even though he felt that Luo Wenshan was a little weird today, it didn't matter as long as he could achieve his goal.
"Prime Minister Luo, who should lead the army to attack the Xuanwu Empire?"
Emperor Zhou still had a look of grief on his face, but now he seemed more ambitious.
He wanted to see whether Luo Wenshan would deny his decision on this matter.
After hearing what Emperor Zhou said, Luo Wenshan was slightly stunned.
Let him decide who will lead the troops?
Are you kidding? He doesn't even bother with this kind of thing.
Luo Wenshan bowed respectfully to Emperor Zhou, and then pretended to think seriously.
Then he said, "It is most appropriate for Your Majesty to decide on this matter!"
In fact, he could also guess what Emperor Zhou wanted to do.
Currently, the only army of the Great Zhou Dynasty that can march out the fastest and has the most power to attack the Xuanwu Empire is Jun Haotian's army.
It goes without saying that Emperor Zhou definitely wants Jun Haotian to lead the troops into battle!
Emperor Zhou was not in a hurry to express his thoughts, but instead glanced at the important officials in the court.
"What do you think, my dear ministers?"
Immediately, a general stood up and said, "Your Majesty! I am willing to lead the troops! As long as you give me 200,000 elite soldiers, I will march out immediately and guarantee that the Xuanwu Empire will be defeated!"
Emperor Zhou ignored him completely, but soon after, several generals stepped forward and expressed their willingness to lead the troops into battle.
"I understand in my heart that all of you, my dear ministers, want to lead the troops into battle."
"But the Xuanwu Empire must have made preparations. If the army marches out from Kyoto and reaches the border, it will probably play into the hands of the Xuanwu Empire."
"Besides, currently...things are happening in Kyoto from time to time, so we need to keep troops to protect the capital."
"Eunuch Li! Convey my order!" Emperor Zhou suddenly raised his voice.
The eunuch Li with a white beard beside him came forward quickly and respectfully accepted the order.
Emperor Zhou then said, "Send an order! Have General Jun Haotian lead 100,000 cavalrymen from the northern border to march westward and into the Xuanwu Empire!"
"This battle is best fought by General Jun Haotian."
"First, Jun Haotian has been guarding the border all the time, so he is the fastest to go out on the expedition. Second, the strength of General Jun Haotian is obvious to all of you."
"I have no worries about letting him go to battle!"
Eunuch Li knelt down quickly and said respectfully: "I will pass on the order immediately!"
After Emperor Zhou issued this order, all the civil and military officials present were a little confused.
You know, Jun Haotian led the army to guard the border and almost never moved.
It can be said that the army is the sword of their country.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, we must never waver.
And this last resort situation is when the enemy comes to your door.
After all, Jun Haotian's strength, coupled with the combat effectiveness of that iron-blooded army, can completely serve as a backup.
But now...Emperor Zhou actually wants Jun Haotian to lead the troops to war.
It seemed that this battle had to be fought, and many ministers were thinking about it. Everyone looked again and saw that Prime Minister Luo and Donghuang Yushi looked honest and not surprised at all. They thought that they should have known or guessed it a long time ago.
Emperor Zhou also wanted to demonstrate his control over the court as emperor.
At this moment, he even asked the civil and military officials in the court: "My dear ministers, do you think my plan is feasible?"
For a moment, no one spoke.
Everyone present knew the strength of the Jun family, and by doing this, Emperor Zhou was clearly weakening the Jun family's combat effectiveness.
However, the young master of the Jun family had already killed the eldest prince, and these civil and military officials were very wary of the Jun family.
Naturally, I dare not say anything at this moment.
Emperor Zhou had a hint of displeasure on his face, and stared coldly at Luo Wenshan.
"What does Prime Minister Luo think?"
Luo Wenshan said with a flattering expression: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Anyway, the young master of the Jun family had already given him a way to deal with it.
No matter what happens today, he has to side with Emperor Zhou.
Moreover, he also knew that the young master of the Jun family would not fight an unprepared battle. Perhaps Emperor Zhou had already fallen into the trap set for him by the young master of the Jun family.
When Emperor Zhou saw Luo Wenshan being so flattering, he felt much more relieved.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he looked extremely proud.
After all, there will always be casualties in war, especially since the one we are fighting against this time is the Xuanwu Empire.
The overall strength of the Xuanwu Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually not much different, but of course the Great Zhou Dynasty is one step stronger.
But even so, if they want to take on the tough challenge of the Xuanwu Empire, they will inevitably lose a lot of manpower.
But Emperor Zhou didn't care. The dead were people from the Jun family, which had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't use these people.
You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.
Jun Haotian has the ability to obey orders but not announcements!
The key point is that this time the Xuanwu Empire took the lead in attacking and even killed the second prince.
You know, the second prince had always been fighting for the poor, and he had won the support of many people and the poor.
If Jun Haotian does not obey the imperial edict and does not march into the Xuanwu Empire, the backbone of their Jun family will be broken by the people of the world, and they will even be drowned by the saliva of the people of the world!
For a moment, Emperor Zhou felt that the Second Prince's death was worth it!
The death of a prince in exchange for the weakening of the Jun family's strength was a very good deal for him.
After all, he has so many sons that the death of one won't have any impact at all.
Of course, there is a deeper meaning behind Emperor Zhou's move.
Isn't the Jun family the most powerful family in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
But this time, doesn't Jun Haotian still have to obey his orders and attack the Xuanwu Empire?
No matter how powerful your Jun family is, you still have to listen to the Emperor Zhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
In this way, Emperor Zhou not only weakened the power of the Jun family, but also established his own authority outside.
Not only do the officials and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty know how powerful the Emperor is, but he also wants the Xuanwu Empire to know the price of offending the Great Zhou Dynasty!
No matter what, it is Emperor Zhou who will gain the ultimate benefit.
However, what Emperor Zhou didn't know was that he had unknowingly fallen into the trap set for him by Jun Lintian!
"Okay, now that we have decided to attack the Xuanwu Empire, you, my dear ministers, should also make preparations."
"Don't neglect your work. Once the war breaks out, who knows how big of an impact it will have."
Emperor Zhou had a proud look on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Dismiss the court!" (End of this chapter)
