"Your Majesty!"
Empress Zhangsun's face revealed a trace of sorrow.
"The Defender Duke is the pillar of our Great Tang, a man of unparalleled literary talent and military strategy. It is precisely because of his existence that our Great Tang has reached its current prosperity!”
"His Majesty suddenly dispatched a large army to capture the Defender Duke for no reason! Wouldn't that destroy the pillars of our Great Tang and damage our country's fortune? Is this not a moment of life and death for the Great Tang?”
"Now that the big mistake has just been made, there's still room for turning around! But what if the Defender Duke dies…"
"Zhen told you to shut up!"
Before Empress Zhangsun could finish persuading her, she had already finished her sentence.
The furious Li Er roared again.
"Zhen is the ruler, Zhen is the heavens of the Great Tang! Zhang Yan was just a small official. If the ruler wanted him to die, he had no choice but to die! This is my decree! I'm here! Even if Zhang Yan died! The sky of the Great Tang will not fall!"
Empress Zhangsun was also frightened by Li Er's angry roar.
She had never seen Li Er so terrifying and hysterical.
He had never seen such a terrifying killing intent in Li Er's eyes.
However, as a virtuous empress of a generation, how could he retreat because of Li Er's angry roar?
"If the ruler wants me to die, I have no choice but to die? But Your Majesty, what is your reason?"
Empress Zhangsun asked in grief and indignation.
"At such a young age, Zhang Yan has already served His Majesty and the Great Tang in conquering the world, pacifying the four directions, and governing the country with utmost diligence. He has done more than Zhuge and Wolong in the previous dynasties!”
"Such a virtuous subject, a groundless crime! He would confiscate his family and remove him from his post!”
"Your Majesty, oh, Your Majesty, how muddle-headed are you to make such a muddle-headed decision!”
These words were no longer a remonstrance.
It was already considered disrespectful!
Zhangsun's original intention was to use a warning like thunder to wake Li Er up from his stupidity.
Little did he know that when Li Er heard this, his eyes turned red.
"Guanyin maid! You are the Empress! How dare you speak to me like this!"
If it wasn't for the fact that these words came from Empress Zhangsun's mouth…
If it was anyone else, they would have been chopped into two by the enraged Li Er's sword before they could finish speaking.
"Yes, sir! Zhang Yan is indeed a good subject of the Great Tang! Wang Mang, Huo Guang in the Han Dynasty, Sima Yi and Wei's meritorious service, are less than ten thousand!”
Li Er's words caused the temperature of the entire Yin and Yang Palace to drop to freezing point.
The words 'usurp power and seize the throne' were enough!
Li Er was just short of declaring it openly.
The number one Sage Empress of the Great Tang was so shocked that her face was filled with terror.
It was only now that Empress Zhangsun finally understood why Li Er had suddenly changed his behavior and wanted to kill Zhang Yan at all costs.
It was because Zhang Yan had done so much for the Great Tang that the Emperor had begun to suspect him.
The Emperor's schemes were indeed unpredictable!
"Your Majesty! This Defender Duke entered the manor at the age of sixteen and accompanied the Emperor step by step until today. I have seen it with my own eyes. He is loyal and will never have the heart to rebel!”
Empress Zhangsun once again knelt down and advised with great emotion.
" The Duke of Guarding Country is acting on behalf of His Majesty. Although he is a monarch and his subjects, he lacks good teachers and friends. He is better than ordinary father and son. How could he…"
"A woman's opinion!"
The sinister look in Li Er's eyes became even more intense.
Before Empress Zhangsun could finish speaking.
She interrupted him coldly again.
"You say that he is a pillar of the Great Tang, a good teacher and friend to me, as close as father and son…but as the saying goes, a person's heart cannot be seen through!”
"You said that Zhang Yan entered the residence from the Dragon Clan at the age of sixteen and confided in me! Do you know where he was before he turned sixteen?”
"The world only knows that he followed an expert to hide from the world since he was young and only came out of the vast wilderness at the age of sixteen! He had been met by the Yi Nation Duke! Rise to the top!"
"But who knows how many secret agents I have secretly sent to turn the entire Northern Desert Great Wilderness upside down, but I still haven't found any evidence of his background!”
"I don't know where he came from, but he's at the highest level of the Great Dao! Even if he pretends to be aloof from worldly affairs all day long and wholeheartedly cares about the Great Tang…there's no telling what's in a person's heart!”
"Who knows what he's thinking! With such a monster in the court, how can our Li Tang Empire be stable? I will kill him!"
Li Er was like a lunatic as he said a whole bunch of words in one breath.
His eyes had already turned red like a crazy demon.
He didn't notice that Empress Zhangsun's expression turned uglier with every word he said.
In the end, Zhangsun's bare-faced face became as pale as a piece of paper, without a single trace of light.
She had never expected this.
Her husband, the Emperor of the Great Tang, was actually so afraid of Zhang Yan.
He did not expect Li Er to be so crazy because of fear!
"Your Majesty! It can be said that I watched Zhang Yan grow up. He took care of His Majesty and me as if they were his parents! It was absolutely impossible for him to have such rebellious thoughts!”
"Stupid!"
How could Li Er still listen to this persuasion? He angrily berated.
"Zhang Yan is not a member of the royal family. How can he talk to me about father and son? There is a difference between monarch and minister. Is it possible that I still want him to be the crown prince?”
"Besides, even if he's our child! The path of the royal family, what I give him is his!”
"If I don't give it to him, he can't covet it!”
"But he doesn't even have the heart to do so!”
Empress Zhangsun shouted hysterically.
However, he was stunned by Li Er's next sentence.
"If he doesn't have it now, who can guarantee that he won't have it in the future!”
Li Er said coldly.
"Back then, he was able to instigate me to commit a tragedy like the Black Tortoise Sect's coup and make me kill my own flesh and blood! God knows if he would do the same thing to me!”
These words were a little heartless.
The incident at Xuanwu Sect.
Zhang Yan had contributed a lot to this matter.
However, the one who really made the decision to kill his brother and usurp the throne was Li Er.
But now.
Judging from his words, it seemed like he wanted to push the blame to Zhang Yan!
Be good to oneself!
"Your…Your Majesty! How could you do this! In order to suppress the Defender Duke, are you going to go against your heart?!”
