Looking at the fearless look on Jun Lintian's face, the eldest prince couldn't help but lose his confidence.

"what on earth do you want!"

He couldn't help but take two steps back, but his eyes were still fierce.

"Jun Lintian, you have to understand clearly that this is the Xuanwu Empire, not your Great Zhou Dynasty! It is definitely not the territory of the Jun family!"

There was also an unhappy look on Emperor Wu's face.

To be honest, he did give Jun Lintian a lot of face.

As the emperor of the Xuanwu Empire, he should have a great say, as well as extremely high deterrent power and status.

If it weren't for the fact that Jun Haotian was currently leading an army of 100,000 and occupying Xuanyang City, it would be impossible for Emperor Wu not to target Jun Lintian.

What’s more, Marquis Zhongyong died at the hands of Jun Lintian.

Even though these civil and military officials didn't say anything, in fact, those military generals hated Jun Lintian to death.

This time, Emperor Wu has taken a huge risk and wants to expose the matter.

There is no doubt that he would offend these generals by doing this.

However, for the peace of the Xuanwu Empire and to prevent the war from breaking out completely, he had no choice but to do this.

At this time, Jun Lintian continued to sneer and said: "This young master came here with the intention of stopping the war."

"But judging from what the eldest prince said, it seems that he wants the war to start completely?"

"So, there's nothing to discuss?"

An evil smile appeared at the corner of Jun Lintian's mouth.

He didn't believe that Emperor Wu really wanted to start a war.

According to the description in the original novel, the current Xuanwu Empire is actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Although the Xuanwu Empire has a large number of soldiers and horses, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the middle and late stages of the novel, he is completely reduced to cannon fodder.

Jun Lingtian grasped this point, so he knew clearly that Emperor Wu absolutely did not want to let the war break out, because the Xuanwu Empire would die faster.

After hearing Jun Lintian's words, the eldest prince's expression changed slightly.

In fact, of course he wanted to start a war. After all, he didn't know what the Xuanwu Empire was like now.

He even fantasized in his mind that as long as he led the troops, defeating Jun Haotian's 100,000-strong army would absolutely not be a problem.

By that time, with his military achievements and his status as the eldest prince, it would be a foregone conclusion that he would become the crown prince.

"This prince really has nothing to discuss with you. You came here just to force us to send out 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?"

"shut up!"

Emperor Wu's expression 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 Jun, I have never thought of going to war with your Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Peace should naturally prevail between the two countries. Going to war at every turn is the act of a reckless man."

"Your Highness cannot represent my opinion. If you have any other ideas, please speak them out and discuss them with me."

All the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but feel their hearts in their throats at this moment.

They naturally knew about this kind of thing, and they could not get involved, and no one could change Emperor Wu's mind.

In addition, Jun Lintian had a domineering personality, and the civil and military officials had not yet understood the specific purpose of his coming to Xuanwu City, so it was naturally impossible for them to talk to him easily.

But everyone is also concerned about whether this war can be fought.

Of course those generals wanted to fight, after all, they had never felt so aggrieved before.

As for the civil servants... they would definitely avoid war if possible.

Once the war breaks out, it will not be easy for them to continue making money.

After all, fighting a war is actually a waste of money. When the time comes, a steady stream of military pay will have to be sent to the border. How can they have the 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 hat on their heads.

They have worked hard to get to their current position, how can they easily lose their current status and identity?
"If you are still dissatisfied with what happened today, just say it directly."

Emperor Wu was also furious, but at this moment he could only try to talk to Jun Lintian in a friendly manner.

"Father! How can you be so cowardly!"

The eldest prince could not help it any longer. He did not care about what his mother had said to him and directly contradicted Emperor Wu.

"This Jun Lintian has already bullied us, we can just let him do whatever he wants."

"If he dares to kill the nobles today, he will dare to kill the emperor tomorrow!"

"If Father keeps on tolerating us, how will the people of the world view the court of the Xuanwu Empire?"

When Emperor Wu heard these words, he became completely furious.

Just now, he was trying to find a way to bring the eldest prince back, but this rebellious son actually wanted to contradict him at this time!

Outsiders are not clear about the current military status of the Xuanwu Empire, but Emperor Wu knows it clearly.

Once the war breaks out, it will be a crushing defeat!
The eldest prince is still adding fuel to the fire. He is simply a rebellious son!

"Shut up!"

Emperor Wu stood up angrily and shouted to Eunuch Feng beside him: "Slap him!"

Eunuch Feng flashed in front of the eldest prince and slapped him twice.

Eunuch Feng was actually also a martial artist, and he showed no mercy in those two slaps.

He is a wise man and the most loyal servant of Emperor Wu.

So they would not give the eldest prince any face at all.

"Father...you." The eldest prince covered his face in shock, his face full of astonishment.

Those two slaps really stunned him.

He even felt that his teeth were about to be pulled loose.

Emperor Wu's face was icy, and he said coldly: "Rebellious son! Do you have the right to speak here?"

"It seems that you won't understand this truth unless you are punished."

"Someone! Take the eldest prince away and put him in solitary confinement in the East Palace!"

Then, he suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Jun Lintian: "Young Master Jun, are you satisfied with this punishment?"

Jun Lintian naturally stopped there. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and his eyes looked towards the back of the eldest prince who was dragged away.

Then he retracted his gaze and said, "Forget it, let's leave it like this for now."

"But His Majesty Emperor Wu probably isn't in the mood to negotiate right now. Let's talk about it another day."

After Jun Lintian finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and swaggered out of the council hall.

Only the civil and military officials who were silent as a mouse and the furious Emperor Wu were left.

At this time, no one dared to offend Emperor Wu.

Li Yongning thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is dead, there must be an explanation for this in the world. How should we publicize it?" (End of this chapter)
