In the main hall of the Xuanwu Empire.
The atmosphere at this time was extremely depressing. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to raise them at all, let alone look at Emperor Wu who was sitting on the dragon throne.
However, what these civil and military officials were really worried about was not the Emperor Wu's anger.
What they are worried about is that if the Xuanwu Empire is gone, the official positions that they, the officials, have worked so hard to climb will also disappear.
If the Xuanwu Empire was really occupied by the Great Zhou Dynasty, then the Great Zhou Dynasty would never use these officials.
Instead, officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty will be sent to take over.
As for the fate that awaits these civil and military officials, it is naturally beheading!
Although Emperor Wu was very angry at the moment, all the civil and military officials knew very well that as long as they were careful not to contradict Emperor Wu, he would not look for opportunities to kill them.
But they knew better that if they led their troops to fight back, they might suffer even more miserable deaths.
After all, the person sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty was Jun Haotian!
Among the generals of several surrounding countries, Jun Haotian is undoubtedly a god of war!
Are you kidding? No one dares to confront Jun Haotian head-on!
Thinking of this, all the civil and military officials in the imperial palace of the Xuanwu Empire fell into a haze.
No one dared to make any suggestions at this time. After all, no one knew whether the suggestions would be useful. If they were useless, they might still be beheaded.
No one dared to leave now. Although no one could think of a solution, it was still safe to stay in the palace.
Even if Jun Haotian led the army to Kyoto, if they stayed in the palace, at least they would be guarded by the Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards.
But once they leave the palace, no one can guarantee their safety.
Just when Emperor Wu was getting extremely anxious.
At this time, a eunuch outside came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a woman outside, she said she is from the Jun family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she said she wants to see you."
"By the way, she said this is a keepsake of the Jun family."
As the eunuch spoke, he took out another thing and handed it to Emperor Wu.
When Emperor Wu took it and looked at it, he realized that this was not a token of the Jun family at all, but the jade pendant that Xuan Ling'er wore.
But think about it, the Jun family is not familiar with him, even if they really took out some token, he may not be able to match it.
But now Xuan Ling'er is in the Jun family, so it would be most appropriate to use Xuan Ling'er's jade pendant as a token of trust.
When he saw someone from the Jun family coming, Emperor Wu did not dare to neglect them.
Now Jun Haotian is still in Xuanyang City, and he doesn't know when the attack will come. Naturally, he dare not neglect this member of the Jun family.
"Please bring her in!"
After Emperor Wu gave the order, he returned to the dragon throne and sat upright, waiting.
Although he is still a little panicked now, he must not let the people of the Jun family see it.
Otherwise, if the Jun family members threatened him or asked for too much, he would suffer a great loss.
After a while, Jun Mengyao, dressed in a black dress, came to the main hall of the Xuanwu Empire.
"Jun family, Jun Mengyao, greets Emperor Wu."
Jun Mengyao just cupped her hands. Emperor Wu was not yet qualified to take her seriously.
But Emperor Wu was not displeased at all at this moment. You know, the Jun family is like a sharp knife stuck in his throat, how dare he offend the people of the Jun family?
Emperor Wu asked cautiously, "I wonder why Miss Mengyao came to the Xuanwu Empire...what do you want?"
After hearing the words used by Emperor Wu, all the civil and military officials present couldn't help but raise their heads slightly and look towards him.
Emperor Wu was being too polite.
But there is nothing wrong with this. If they were sitting in the position of Emperor Wu, they might not know what to say when facing people from the Jun family.
Jun Mengyao slowly spoke and conveyed Jun Lintian's meaning.
"Your Majesty, my young master said that he will bring Xuan Ling'er back to her parents' home in two days."
"By then, the young master will also find a way to resolve the war conflict between the Xuanwu Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty."
When the civil and military officials present heard what Jun Mengyao said, they all couldn't help but look happy.
After all, they all knew about the strength and status of the Jun family, especially the young master of the Jun family. His means were extraordinary. If he could mediate, perhaps he could really resolve the conflict between the Xuanwu Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was extremely happy at this moment.
No wonder there was no new battle report from the border. It turned out that Jun Haotian was waiting for this moment.
After a little thought, he understood that Jun Haotian had only occupied Xuanyang City and had no plans to continue the attack.
And now, since Jun Haotian's son is here, it means that this matter can still be discussed.
Emperor Wu was still very smart. He knew that this time Jun Haotian volunteered to attack the Xuanwu Empire, most likely not because he was following Emperor Zhou's orders, but because he had his own plans.
But there is no point in thinking so much. Once the young master of the Jun family arrives, we can talk about everything.
But at this moment, Emperor Wu suddenly felt a little worried again.
This time Jun Lintian and Xuan Lingtian will both come back.
But the problem is that after learning that Xuan Feng was missing and Xuan Ling'er was forcibly taken away by Jun Lintian, Emperor Wu was extremely dissatisfied with Xuan Ling'er's mother, Cao Xirou.
He even listened to the constant whispers of the concubines in the harem and banished Xuan Ling'er's mother, Cao Xirou, to the cold palace.
Later, Emperor Wu made the former Imperial Noble Consort Feng Zhuyue the Empress of the Xuanwu Empire, in charge of the harem.
Only a short time has passed since Xuan Linger returned from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but earth-shaking changes have taken place in the palace.
Her mother has now been banished to the cold palace.
No one can accept this.
Emperor Wu could imagine that his action would definitely make Xuan Ling'er unhappy.
But it didn’t matter that Xuan Ling’er was unhappy. After all, no matter what she was, she was still his daughter. What could she do to him?
What Emperor Wu was really worried about was that Jun Lintian might be dissatisfied with this matter. According to his understanding, the young master of the Jun family had a very strange personality, and no one could know what Jun Lintian was thinking.
However, I heard that this man is extremely fond of women and has already married several wives and concubines, most of whom were forced upon him.
The most crucial point is that since Jun Lingtian is willing to accompany Xuan Ling'er back to her parents' home, it proves that he cares about Xuan Ling'er very much.
If Jun Lintian knew that Xuan Ling'er's mother had been banished to the cold palace, Emperor Wu had no idea what Jun Lintian would do.
It can be said that the Jun family now holds the lifeline of the Xuanwu Empire.
As long as the young master of the Jun family is dissatisfied, the Xuanwu Empire is likely to disappear from now on!
Emperor Wu couldn't help but feel worried. How could he conceal this matter? (End of this chapter)
