The three warhorse sets were originally proposed by Qin Mu during the imperial examinations, and now it was actually used by Fang Xuanling to show off.
"Oh? Horseshoes, what is that?"
Qin Mu pretended to be curious.
"Hehehe, this is a divine weapon that can shock the world. With this weapon, no country in the world can be a match for the Great Tang. Although His Majesty was an unprecedented talent, in the face of the absolute difference in strength, any talent seemed a little…Pale."
"I hope Your Majesty can understand this courtier's unbearable heart and accept this valuable advice.”
Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
"Is that so? It seemed that the Great Tang's military development was truly impressive.”
"But…Prime Minister Fang, I'm a little curious. Horseshoes were such a world-shocking weapon. Who invented them?”
After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Qin Mu wasn't shocked. Instead, his signature smile became even more meaningful as he looked at the prime minister of Great Tang with a deep gaze.
"This…"
"It seems to be the work of Zhangsun Chong, the son of Zhangsun Wuji, the Duke of Zhao.”
Fang Xuanling sounded hesitant.
He thought that his earnest persuasion would make Qin Mu a little more alert, but he didn't expect Qin Mu to avoid talking about his problem and throw him a difficult one instead.
To be honest.
When Li Er announced that Zhangsun Chong had won the title of the top scholar with that ancient essay, Fang Xuanling and the entire court were shocked beyond words.
No one expected this.
A profligate son who only knew how to eat, drink, and play could write such a shocking article, and even single-handedly change the structure of the Great Tang.
From then on, Zhangsun Chong, the hedonistic son of a rich family, became a god in the hearts of the people of the Great Tang.
Even now, Fang Xuanling was still in a daze and couldn't quite believe this fact.
That was why.
When Qin Mu asked who came up with the horseshoe, Fang Xuanling was filled with hesitation.
"What's wrong? Fang Xiang seems to be a little hesitant."
Qin Mu naturally saw through Fang Xuanling's thoughts and continued to ask.
"This…Your Majesty, no matter who invented the horseshoe, this is an internal matter of the Great Tang.”
"Your Majesty, please consider what I said just now. You must not trap the people of the two countries in the flames of war.”
Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, his tone filled with sincerity.
After all, Qin Mu was the lord of a foreign land, so Fang Xuanling naturally wouldn't be sincere with him.
Whether or not the horseshoe was Zhangsun Chong's invention, it had brought about an unparalleled change in the military strength of the Great Tang. This was an undeniable fact.
As for the truth, that was not something he had to worry about.
"Fang Xiang, calm down. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the truth was revealed.”
Qin Mu didn't continue asking Fang Xuanling. Instead, he slowly turned around and looked out the window. There wasn't a single ripple in his deep eyes.
"The truth is out?"
Fang Xuanling raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Phew ~"
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Young Master, we have arrived at Chang 'an Fortress.”
Wei Zhongxian's voice slowly sounded from outside the carriage.
"Got it." Qin Mu agreed and turned back to look at Fang Xuanling. He smiled lightly and said,""Minister Fang, we have arrived in Chang 'an. You should go back and report. As the saying goes, a gentleman's promise is hard to come by. Fang Xiang, don't forget the agreement between you and me.”
"Of course. I'll keep my mouth shut for a month.”
"Your Majesty, take care!"
Fang Xuanling nodded solemnly. After bowing to Qin Mu, he strode into Chang 'an.
"Your Majesty, should we contact our spies in Chang 'an to keep an eye on him?”
After Fang Xuanling left, Wei Zhongxian asked respectfully.
Through Qin Mu's deployment and arrangements, Yu Huatian had long brought a large group of spies to hide in Chang 'an.
It was to gather all kinds of information in the capital and in case of emergency.
Wei Zhongxian was in charge of contacting Yu Huatian, so he knew the situation of the secret agents in Chang 'an City better than anyone else.
"No need."
Qin Mu shook his head calmly.
He understood what Wei Zhongxian meant.
As the saying goes, each serves his own master.
No one could guarantee whether Fang Xuanling would keep his promise or turn around and tell Li Er everything.
Sending a spy to follow him would be a foolproof plan.
However…
Qin Mu was very confident.
He believed that Fang Xuanling would never go back on his word and lie to him.
Firstly, Fang Xuanling was unwilling to intensify the conflict between the two countries.
As an envoy, Fang Xuanling represented the entire Great Tang.
Deceiving the monarch of another country was not a small matter.
In the future, if Qin Mu used this matter to say that Great Tang was deliberately deceiving him, then in terms of diplomatic relations, Great Tang would be at a disadvantage.
Secondly, Qin Mu believed that Fang Xuanling was a gentleman and would definitely keep his promise.
Taking a step back.
Even if Fang Xuanling told Li Er everything, Qin Mu would still have a way to leave Chang 'an City.
He ordered Yu Huatian to set up a trap in Chang 'an so that he could leave safely.
