Are you crazy? The marriage robbery happened to my young master of the imperial family

After hearing this, Liu Jianan couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

Emperor Zhou really gave him a difficult problem.

Asking him to think about what reward to give to the Jun family, isn't that too difficult for him?
Liu Jianan could only answer honestly: "Your Majesty, there is actually nothing to reward right now."

"In fact, I think Jun Haotian will definitely not give up those three cities. Whatever we send now will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."

"Instead, they were given benefits. Of course, if the Jun family wants to save face, they will return the things."

"So it's better to give something more expensive to show your sincerity. Those three cities can't be bought with money."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhou couldn't help but nodded.

This is true.

It certainly can't be a gift that's too shabby, otherwise the Jun family will think that he is teasing and mocking the Jun family.

But if the gift was really too expensive, Emperor Zhou would be reluctant to give it.

For a moment, he himself was a little confused about the decision.

"Never mind, I'll leave this matter to you, and you must do it beautifully."

Instead of figuring it out yourself, it’s better to leave this matter to your subordinates.

It also saves you from wasting your brain.

Emperor Zhou really doesn't have much energy now. He can feel that he is really old.

I'm so confused by all the recent events that some of my hair has turned gray.

"By the way, since two princes of the Xuanwu Empire have died, the previous grudge can be settled."

He still hadn't forgotten Zhou Mingyu. After all, the second prince died at the hands of the Xuanwu Empire.

But now, a prince of the Xuanwu Empire has also died, so it can be evened out.

Emperor Zhou continued, "But two princes of the Xuanwu Empire have died. They should continue to train another one, but I don't know who it will be."

"Emperor Wu is now scared in front of the Jun family. I don't know if this is just a delaying tactic. I want to join forces with other countries, preferably to pose a threat to the Jun family."

Emperor Zhou rubbed his brows and said, "I just don't know whether I should choose the ancient country of Nanman or the Daqian Dynasty."

But to be honest, he now feels that his Great Zhou Dynasty is isolated and helpless.

Currently, several neighboring countries are at odds with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The ninth prince of the Daqian Dynasty, Zhao Yuanbai, died on the way back to the Daqian Dynasty, and the eighth prince, Aguda, of the ancient Nanman Kingdom, also disappeared in the territory of the Dazhou Dynasty.

In fact, Emperor Zhou can now guess that the deaths of these two people are definitely related to Jun Lintian.

But these two princes happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty after all.

No matter what the current relationship between the Jun family and the Great Zhou Dynasty is, the other two countries will blame the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Zhou really had a headache. Did this damn Jun Lintian have to provoke all the forces on the Tianxuan Continent?

The Jun family did not suffer any retaliation, but his Great Zhou Dynasty suffered a great impact.

Even if they wanted to unite with a neighboring country to attack the Jun family, it would no longer be as easy as before.

Liu Jianan didn't know what to say at this moment. In fact, he now felt that surrendering to Emperor Zhou was not a wise choice.

The young master of the Jun family obviously has more potential, and the power of the Jun family is also gradually increasing.

Although it is still just a noble family at present, once the Jun family truly owns the three cities of the Xuanwu Empire, we can no longer look at the Jun family with the same eyes as before.

It can be said that Jun Haotian can even become the emperor.

By that time, which court would not be a court?
Maybe if he follows the Jun family, he can get more benefits. "Lord Liu, Lord Liu?" Emperor Zhou frowned when he saw Liu Jianan didn't answer him.

Liu Jianan came back to his senses and said quickly: "Your Majesty, it is not possible for us to unite with any country at the moment."

"It would be better to find a way to strengthen yourself first. Besides, it is time for Your Majesty to properly train a crown prince."

All officials in the court are currently dissatisfied with this matter.

After all, a country cannot be without a king for a day, let alone without a crown prince.

After the death of the second prince, Emperor Zhou seemed to have lost confidence in his ability to train a prince, but this was precisely his weakness.

If there was no outstanding crown prince, how could the civil and military officials in the court follow Emperor Zhou so wholeheartedly?

If Emperor Zhou dies one day, which of the remaining princes will be able to take on the responsibility?
Apart from anything else, it is also a question whether the new emperor will kill all of their old ministers.

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he fell into deep thought.

He also felt that he should indeed train a prince, but the deaths of the eldest and second princes had already cast a shadow in his heart.

It seemed that no matter which prince he trained, that prince would die a violent death.

Although he was the one who executed the eldest prince, it was thanks to Jun Lintian. The second prince was killed by the Xuanwu Empire, so it could not be blamed on Jun Lintian.

Emperor Zhou was silent for a moment, then he said, "I will consider this matter."

"By the way, has the imperial edict been sent out?"

Liu Jianan immediately said, "It has been sent out, but Your Majesty...should we also send an official letter to the Xuanwu Empire?"

"At present, we still don't know what kind of deal the Jun family has reached with the Xuanwu Empire, but we have to find out. In fact, I feel that the Xuanwu Empire will not hand over these three cities so easily."

Liu Jianan did have some thoughts in his mind. The importance of those three cities to the Xuanwu Empire was self-evident.

But Emperor Wu gave it to the Jun family so easily.

what does this mean?
Is it really that the Xuanwu Empire is afraid of the Jun family?

The fight hasn't even started yet, how could the Xuanwu Empire give in so easily?

There must be some circumstances that they don't know about.

Emperor Zhou said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xuanwu Empire are currently at loggerheads, so it is inconvenient to negotiate. We should stick to the original plan and take those three cities from the Jun family."

--------

Two days later.

Xuanwu City, the Nineteenth Princess’s Mansion.

Jun Lintian looked at the secret letter sent from Wuyang City and couldn't help but sneer.

"Emperor Zhou has a really big appetite."

Xuan Ling'er and Li Yunxin saw this scene and couldn't help but come over and ask curiously, "Husband, what happened?"

Jun Lintian showed the secret letter to the two of them.

Then he sneered and said, "We, the Jun family, have conquered three cities with great difficulty, and Emperor Zhou actually wants to take them away with just a little money?"

“What a big appetite!”

"Ling'er, get some paper and pen."

Soon, Xuan Ling'er brought paper and pen, and Jun Lintian wrote his reply.

The content of the letter was very simple. None of the three cities would be given up. If the Emperor of Zhou wanted them, he could send a large army to take them down! (End of this chapter)
