There was something more important.
Qin Mu had kidnapped Zhangsun Wugou and Princess Chang Le, causing Zhangsun Wuji's political power to lose a huge boost.
Especially Princess Chang Le.
Li Er and he had planned to wait until the Tibetan special envoy left the capital before immediately arranging the marriage between Zhangsun Chong and Changle.
If everything had gone smoothly, Changle would have already become his daughter-in-law.
The Zhangsun Clan would once again reach the peak of glory!
Now.
All of this had turned into bubbles!
Not only did he not let the Zhangsun Clan shine again, but his position in Li Er's heart also rapidly declined.
In the past, the Duke of Zhao's residence was as crowded as a market, and countless officials came to pay their respects all day long.
But now, the entrance of the manor was so desolate that not even a single leaf was willing to fall here.
Everyone avoided it!
Everything was because of Qin Mu!
" Qin Mu!"
"This old man will tear you into pieces!"
Zhangsun Wuji clenched his fists and roared at the sky.
……
In the imperial prison.
It was dark.
Fang Xuanling, who was wearing a prison uniform, lay in the cell. His hair was messy and his face was lifeless.
She looked like a frosted eggplant…
He was extremely disappointed!
"Qin Mu? Your Majesty?"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"This old man is really stupid. I thought that I could become friends with him regardless of age. I thought that keeping my promise could exchange for peace between the two countries.”
"And the result?"
"I'm just a chess piece in his hands!”
"Friends? Hahaha!"
Fang Xuanling laughed in despair with a hoarse voice.
He had once really thought that Qin Mu had treated him as a friend.
The two of them had different political views, different identities, and even a world of difference in age, but they could feel a sense of empathy.
Fang Xuanling had thought that if he kept his promise and allowed Qin Mu to marry Great Tang, there might still be some room for reconciliation between the two countries.
In addition to his efforts to investigate the matter between Qin Mu and Zhangsun Wuji, perhaps everyone could bury the hatchet.
Wasn't this the best ending?
However, Fang Xuanling was wrong.
He didn't expect Qin Mu's heart to be so resolute!
He also didn't expect Qin Mu to be so ruthless. He didn't leave any room for redemption and was determined to fight Great Tang to the end.
"Squeak ~"
Just as Fang Xuanling was mocking himself, the cell door suddenly opened.
A figure walked in from outside.
Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes, trying hard to see the face of the newcomer.
When he saw who it was, his entire body trembled and he hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.
"Your humble subject greets Your Majesty!"
The person who came was none other than Li Er!
"Get up."
Li Er nodded gently and sat down. He sighed and said,"Sigh, Xuanling, don't blame Zhen. This matter is of great importance and involves many things. If I don't deal with it this way, I'm afraid the officials won't realize the seriousness of the problem.”
"Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling immediately broke down in tears.
That was great!
His Majesty has no intention of convicting me!
Li Er looked at the old minister kneeling in front of him and felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
How high-spirited were they on the battlefield?
Conquering the world with golden spears and iron horses!
And now?
One became a prisoner, while the other lost his most important family member.
Everyone was old!
Actually, Li Er didn't really want to blame Fang Xuanling.
The monarch and his subjects had known each other for many years, how many ups and downs had they experienced?
Li Er believed that Fang Xuanling would never betray him.
He must have his own difficulties.
However, at that time in the court, Li Er had already lost his mind.
All kinds of things were gathered together.
Anger, shame, despair, fear, all the emotions surged out.
Everyone had their own endurance. At that time, Li Er had also reached his limit.
"Xuanling, there are only you and me here. What exactly happened? You have to tell me in detail.”
Li Er asked again.
This time.
Li Er didn't treat Qin Mu as an extremely talented youth anymore. Instead, he treated him as an enemy!
A terrifying enemy who was on par with him!
"Your Majesty, it's like this…"
Fang Xuanling told Li Er everything that had happened to him and his deal with Qin Mu in detail. He was afraid that he would say a wrong word.
An hour later.
Li Er finally understood the whole story.
Just like that.
A scene of conquering the world gradually unfolded in Li Er's mind.
The decisive battle with the Songzan officials, the occupation of Luoxi City, the control of the Potala Palace, the submission of Lu Dongzan, the change of dynasty, and the establishment of Great Qin!
All of this was done so swiftly and decisively, not giving the enemy any chance to catch their breath.
"What a good Qin Mu!"
"I really didn't expect that I would meet someone who looks so much like me in my life.”
After listening to all the stories, Li Er could not help but sigh.
Fang Xuanling's lips twitched.
He felt that Li Er was subconsciously putting gold on his face!
However, to be honest.
That Qin Mu really looked like His Majesty!
"Your Majesty, that young man really does resemble you.”
Fang Xuanling nodded.
