Chapter 272 Who has the final say in this Xuanwu Kingdom?

These civil officials naturally thought that since they all stood up to speak for the crown prince and the prime minister, they would not be held accountable for all of them.

Even if Your Majesty is dissatisfied with them, it would be difficult to single out one person to make an example of him.

Unless Your Majesty wants to take action against the Crown Prince or the Prime Minister.

But that's simply impossible.

You know, the situation at the border is very critical now. The eldest prince, as a member of the royal family, may be the future crown prince.

The prime minister is a pillar of the country. If Your Majesty takes action against any one of them, it is likely to cause panic among the people.

Originally, the officials in the court and the people of the Xuanwu Empire were not optimistic about this war.

If Your Majesty did this at this time, it would undoubtedly be a very stupid decision.

Although they were concerned about the power of the young master of the Jun family.

But now the Xuanwu Empire is their territory. The young master of the Jun family came alone. Although he brought some guards with him, he did not come to the palace.

If he really did something, His Majesty would definitely not let him off easily.

Now that so many people are against the young master of the Jun family, it would be impossible for the other party to do anything even if they want to.

Just now, the eldest prince Xuan Fei was alone, but now they all stood up. It is impossible for Jun Lintian to slap everyone in the face, right?
Not to mention whether he can do it, His Majesty will certainly not allow him to be so presumptuous.

Unfortunately, these civil officials were wrong.

By doing this, they were undoubtedly rubbing Emperor Wu's face on the ground.

At this moment, Emperor Wu's face was gloomy to the extreme.

I was even more angry in my heart.

After all, he is the emperor of the Xuanwu Empire. He just spoke to Jun Lintian with his royal words. How could he change his words so easily?
In addition, by doing this he was also preserving the strength of the Xuanwu Empire.

At the same time, giving Jun Lintian some benefits can also make the subsequent negotiations smoother.

After all, Jun Lintian is a man who values ​​beauty above all else.

Emperor Wu was just trying to please the emperor. Sacrificing a woman is better than sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xuanwu Empire, right?

Emperor Wu is not actually weak. What he is thinking about is that he will have to fight back in the future.

If all these soldiers’ lives were sacrificed now, who would fight in the future?

It's impossible to let Li Yunxin come to fight, right?

A woman, what can she do?
Marrying Li Yunxin to Jun Lintian is the best choice now. Moreover, although Xuan Linger is under house arrest by Jun Lintian, she seems to be living a happy life.

As an emperor, Emperor Wu naturally had to abandon secular ideas.

Family affection and the relationship between the ruler and his subjects are not important to him.

Interests are the most important thing.

In order to ensure future interests, he must secure his throne, and this requires that all civil and military officials be of the same mind as him.

But now, these people are on the side of the eldest prince and Prime Minister Li.

It's clearly not giving him face.

Emperor Wu was not angry at this moment. A truly powerful person would never show his emotions on his face.

Especially now that there is an outsider like Jun Lintian here, if Emperor Wu gets angry, he will be at a disadvantage.

At this time, he didn't want Jun Lintian to think that he was a useless emperor.

Emperor Wu ignored everyone. After all, in his opinion, these civil and military officials were nothing but fence-sitters.

To put it bluntly, they are doing this for future benefits.

But Emperor Wu thought that he was still young and he could still sit on the throne for a long time. When would it be the eldest prince's turn? He snorted in his heart. These officials just couldn't figure it out!
Instead of trying to please the emperor himself, he tried to please the prince and the prime minister. If the current situation was not right, Emperor Wu would even have thought of arresting a few officials to make an example of them.

But he also knew that at this time, rashly killing these officials would only make the situation more unfavorable.

It is bound to disturb everyone's mentality.

Emperor Wu glanced coldly at all the civil and military officials, and he did not say much.

I believe these people can also see clearly.

He just kept his eyes on Xuan Fei, and then asked coldly: "Prime Minister Li, who has the final say in this Xuanwu Empire?"

Emperor Wu's voice was majestic without him being angry, and his aura carried the power of an emperor.

Even the civil and military officials nearby couldn't help but shudder after hearing what Emperor Wu said.

Only then did they understand that Emperor Wu had really made up his mind to give Li Yunxin to the young master of the Jun family.

For a moment, these civil officials and military generals were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.

No one dared to offend Emperor Wu at this time.

Although it is not a good idea to kill court officials during this period, if Emperor Wu really wants to kill them, no one can stop him.

These officials all lowered their heads, not daring to look up at Emperor Wu, and only dared to secretly glance at the eldest prince and Prime Minister Li.

Even Li Yongning was frightened by Emperor Wu's aura.

Somehow, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at Jun Lintian next to him.

Jun Lintian was standing there calmly, looking fearless, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

This look made Li Yongning swallow his saliva unconsciously.

He always felt that Jun Lintian was not as simple as he imagined.

It seems that he still knows a little bit about Jun Lintian.

The importance that Emperor Wu attached to the young master of the Jun family... clearly exceeded his imagination.

"I'm asking you a question!" Emperor Wu raised his voice a little higher.

Li Yongning was so frightened that his legs were shaking, and he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, you have the final say in the Xuanwu Empire."

Emperor Wu snorted coldly: "Then I want to marry your daughter to the young master of the Jun family as a concubine. Are you unwilling?"

"This……"

Li Yongning fell silent for a moment. After all, he had discovered that Emperor Wu was really angry.

If he continues to refute at this time, the outcome will definitely not be good.

The situation at the border was already very bad, which made Emperor Wu feel particularly bad.

If he continued to upset Emperor Wu at this time, wouldn't he be courting death?
The eldest prince Xuan Fei on the side was completely unaware of this and kept winking at Li Yongning.

Because he clearly knows.

If Li Yongning gave in on this matter, then his own opinion would no longer be important.

After all, Li Yongning, as a father, is willing to marry his daughter to the young master of the Jun family. How could it be right for him, the eldest prince, to make irresponsible remarks?

The eldest prince hated himself for not being able to arrange his marriage with Li Yunxin earlier.

Otherwise, my father would never have thought of marrying Li Yunxin to the young master of the Jun family as a concubine.

The eldest prince Xuan Fei now hopes that Li Yongning can withstand the pressure.

However, Li Yongning could only say dejectedly: "This is naturally up to your majesty to decide..." (End of this chapter)
