Chapter 1038

Haikang County, Jiaozhou.

An imperial envoy from Great Tang came to deliver a decree.

What surprised Zhangsun Wuji and the others was that the imperial envoy this time was actually Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was the Prime Minister of Great Tang, a civil official.

Having him deliver the decree indicated the Emperor's attitude, which was relatively mild.

At least he would not choose to start a war by force!

"Oh my, Xuanling, why are you, a dignified Prime Minister, personally delivering the decree this time?"

Zhangsun Wuji came out to welcome Fang Xuanling with a full face of smiles.

"To resolve the opposition with the aristocratic families."

On the surface, it looked like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

In reality, in the eyes of outsiders, it was indeed like that.

Only Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling themselves knew that they were not on the same path and were just pretending to be harmonious while being divided.

Facing Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling naturally became very hypocritical.

"I dare not accept that; Lord Zhangsun is the head of all officials and the pillar of Great Tang."

"The Emperor also specially asked me to bring a thousand-year-old ginseng for you, hoping you will take good care of your health."

Seemingly nutritious-less dialogue, in reality, both heard the content they wanted.

Zhangsun Wuji wanted to know the Emperor's attitude.

And Fang Xuanling brought the attitude.

Pointing out specifically that the Emperor brought a thousand-year-old ginseng for him meant that the Emperor not only would not pursue the matter but also wanted to restore the previous intimate relationship.
