Emperor Wu’s thoughts were very simple.

First of all, he absolutely could not agree to Jun Lintian easily, otherwise Jun Lintian would think that their Xuanwu Empire was easy to bully.

In fact, he had already thought of how to solve this problem two days ago.

But Emperor Wu still told Jun Lintian to wait for two more days.

This is to test Jun Lintian's temper.

No matter what, Emperor Wu still wanted to maintain a bit of dignity.

No matter what, he is the king of the Xuanwu Empire, controlling the life and death of so many people, and also controlling the direction of an empire.

If he easily agreed to Jun Lintian, would he still have his face?

Not to mention that the people have long had complaints about the recent events, and he must control public opinion among the people, otherwise he may not be able to sit securely on the throne.

At this moment, Emperor Wu saw that Jun Lintian did not agree immediately and seemed to be in deep thought, so he couldn't help but explain.

"Young Master Jun, I actually have some doubts about the strength of your Jun family."

"If I really give you these three cities and disperse all your Jun family members to station there, can you really resist the attack of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Even my Xuanwu Empire knows those three cities very well. If you are careless, I can send people to take them back."

"And by that time, your Jun family will be completely defeated and will never be able to turn defeat into victory again."

Jun Lintian narrowed his eyes again, but this time there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

Even if he was pretending, he felt that Emperor Wu was a little too confident.

"What does Emperor Wu mean by this?"

"Young Master Jun, please calm down." Emperor Wu curled the corners of his mouth slightly. Only at this moment did he regain the condescending attitude of an emperor facing foreign ministers.

He said with a smile: "Giving these three cities to your Jun family is nothing more than finding a buffer zone for the Xuanwu Empire."

"Then I must also ensure that this buffer zone has sufficient capacity."

“So, this is why the idea of ​​jointly governing these three cities was proposed.”

"This will also ensure that if the Great Zhou Dynasty launches an attack on your Jun family in the future and your Jun family is defeated, I can also successfully take back these three cities."

At this moment, after Emperor Wu finished speaking, the Minister of Revenue also stood up.

He was quite respectful to Jun Lintian, but he was naturally on the side of Emperor Wu.

"Young Master Jun, I am the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the imperial court's purse. Since you say this is a business, the most important thing in doing business is fairness."

"Rather than saying that the Xuanwu Empire gave you the ownership of these three cities, it would be better to say that it gave your Jun family the right to use them."

"The Xuanwu Empire can allow your Jun family's troops to be stationed in these three cities, and can also allow you a high degree of autonomy."

The Minister of Revenue stroked his beard and said, "Even the Xuanwu Empire can choose not to interfere with you or supervise you."

"But people from the Xuanwu Empire must be inside, and a portion of the army must be stationed there."

When Jun Lintian heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.

He finally understood, and Emperor Wu finally showed his fangs at this moment.

They say that they are allowed a high degree of autonomy, but they still want to station troops there, which is nothing more than treating the Jun family as cannon fodder.

But Jun Lintian laughed evilly at this time.

Is your Xuanwu Empire qualified to use the Jun family as cannon fodder?

Emperor Wu was clever and thought he had reached a certain balance with the Jun family, but in fact he fell into the trap set for him by Jun Lintian.

The army can be stationed there if they want, but Jun Lintian’s main goal is to take these three cities.

This place could barely be considered as the place where the Jun family would take root in the future. For him, the conditions proposed by Emperor Wu were nothing to worry about.

As long as the Jun family’s army is stationed there, why would they be afraid of these small fry from the Xuanwu Empire?

Jun Lintian couldn't help but shook his head slightly. Emperor Wu thought that their Jun family only wanted these three cities.

However, this is totally wrong.

What Jun Lintian wants is not just these three cities. Once he has enough strength, he will annex the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xuanwu Empire together.

Including the neighboring ancient country of Nanman and the Daqian Dynasty, both will be in the Jun family's pocket.

"Okay, I agree to this condition."

Jun Lintian spoke lightly.

His voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it.

For a moment, the expression on Emperor Wu's face eased slightly, and all the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't just the civil servants who relaxed at this moment.

Even the military generals felt that it would be best to maintain peace at the moment.

They definitely wanted to fight in the beginning, but now, the eldest prince who advocated war was about to die, and the morale of the army was gone.

Even the eldest prince could be killed by Jun Lintian. Can these soldiers win on the battlefield?
At this time, Li Yongning glanced sideways at Jun Lintian.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, you did the right thing this time."

"As long as we can reach those three cities first, no matter what conditions Emperor Wu proposes, we will still have plenty of time."

He was a little worried that Jun Lintian would not agree and would think that this move would mean making the Xuanwu Empire a vassal state.

But now it seems that Li Yongning feels that his vision is correct.

Jun Lintian not only has extremely strong abilities, but also has a very strong political sense.

The most important thing is that such a young man knows when to quit.

This is a rare quality that many people do not possess.

Li Yongning couldn't help but laugh when he thought that his daughter was about to marry Jun Lintian.

The Minister of Revenue also stood up and said with a smile: "Young Master Jun, once this alliance is formed, we can be considered a family in the future."

"If we want to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Xuanwu Empire will have to rely more on the Jun family."

Jun Lintian sneered and ignored the Minister of Revenue. What he meant by relying on was nothing more than pushing the Jun family out as cannon fodder.

These people are really good at deceiving themselves.

It would be fine if they just cheated others, but now they are even cheating themselves. It's really ridiculous.

Emperor Wu immediately summoned Eunuch Liu.

"Eunuch Liu, bring me the imperial edict. Since the terms have been agreed upon, I will write the imperial edict first and then hand over the three cities to Jun Haotian, the Patriarch of the Jun family, and the Young Master of the Jun family."

He was also eager to finalize this matter, in case Jun Lintian changed his mind again.

"Wait a minute."

But at this moment, Jun Lintian suddenly spoke.

The corner of his mouth curled up into an evil smile, and then he said, "Since the Martial Emperor has put forward conditions, then I will put forward another condition. The Martial Emperor should not mind, right?"
