Or rather, what does he hope to gain most? It’s the reputation of being an Emperor for the ages! For the sake of this reputation, he naturally has to establish wisdom and prestige in front of the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji only needs to say some carefully crafted words to incite public indignation and make everyone stand on his side against Li Lao’er. In this way, no matter how angry Li Lao’er is, he would never dare to defy the world’s expectations and would be forced to declare war on Great Qin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This plan is poisonous, but it is also a brilliant one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mu praised with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueyan couldn’t help but gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this old fox’s scheming too deep?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually using the people of the world to achieve his own goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really is unscrupulous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty is right. After this incident, the Great Tang announced that they would go to war with our Great Qin, ordering the Duke of Su, Cheng Cheng Yaojin, who is campaigning in the Western Regions, to attack Great Qin without stopping as soon as he returns to the Great Tang.” Yu Yu Huatian detailed the intelligence he had obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, should we close the Jiannan Dao trading post and declare war on the Great Tang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ludongzan stood up first and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present nodded one after another, looking at Qin Mu with a desire for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it just war?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s afraid of whom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need!” Qin Mu narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and said indifferently: “Li Lao’er is not that stupid. How could he be willing to be led by the nose by Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband, do you mean the Great Tang won’t go to war with us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueyan asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the most likely outcome. The Great Tang is currently at a critical stage of reform. Buying so many books is to increase the number of scholars from humble backgrounds in the court.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This means Li Lao’er is going to move against the aristocratic families! How could he mobilize the entire nation’s troops to go to war with Great Qin for a mere Empress Zhangsun Chong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The price to pay would be too high!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mu said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“No way, Husband? The Emperor has already announced war with Great Qin in front of the whole world. If he goes back on his word, wouldn’t he be a laughingstock?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of confusion appeared in Li Li Xueyan’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War is not child’s play; how could they just stop fighting after saying they would?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s simple! ‘Openly repair the plank road, secretly cross the Chencang.’ According to news from Jiang Huai in the Hexi Corridor, the 200,000 Great Tang troops led by Cheng Cheng Yaojin disappeared without a trace after leaving the Great Tang border. There has been no request for help from the Western Regions, which means they haven’t been attacked either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a lot of trickery here! According to my speculation, Li Lao’er is probably shouting about going to war with the Western Regions on the surface, but is actually hiding his troops. After a month or two, when Cheng Cheng Yaojin and the others return from the border, they will just shout about a great victory in the Western Regions. Anyway, no one will be bored enough to go to the Western Regions to find out if it’s true or false.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In this way, Li Lao’er can preserve his reputation without wasting a single soldier. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone? At most, it just consumes some grain and fodder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mu analyzed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband, I understand! So the Emperor sent Cheng Cheng Yaojin’s army to attack Great Qin again, which is actually just for show.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He won’t rashly go to war for a Empress Zhangsun Chong, causing suffering to the world. The most important thing for the Great Tang right now is reform, not conquering east and west.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueyan was naturally clever and understood immediately, quickly grasping Li Er’s intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that political matters are far from as simple as they appear on the surface!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being with Husband, I can really learn so many things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tee-hee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qin Mu discussed some other matters with the ministers, he had them withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man with white hair and beard walked in slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, it is time for the blood test.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man held a celadon cup containing clean water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood test? Husband, what’s wrong with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the old man’s words, Li Li Xueyan’s face became nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, let me introduce him to you. This old man is named Li Li Shizhen, a master of medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This old subject pays respects to the Princess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Shizhen bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dr. Li, you are too polite. You just said you were testing my husband’s blood; what is this all about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueyan smiled indifferently and asked again about the blood test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess, the blood test is a special way to check for physical illnesses; it is my unique skill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As the saying goes, a person’s essence and blood are the foundation of the body. Through blood testing, one can detect whether the Emperor has any potential illness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Shizhen explained unhurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it plainly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually a form of physical examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Shizhen was a rare genius in medical history, actually able to research such a strange diagnostic method; it was truly breathtaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is actually such a method? It is my ignorance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a bit ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been by her husband’s side for so long, she still hadn’t fully understood him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That really shouldn’t be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, Dr. Li, come ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mu smiled lightly and extended his right index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then this old man will offend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Shizhen took a silver needle from his sleeve and very carefully pricked the tip of Qin Mu’s finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drop of blood slowly flowed out and dripped into the teacup Li Li Shizhen had prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Shizhen picked up the teacup and carefully observed the drop of blood inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dr. Li, how is my husband’s health?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Xueyan asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess, rest assured, the Emperor is strong and healthy, with no hidden illnesses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Shizhen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the check for Qin Mu, Li Li Shizhen retreated very tactfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the door of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Changle was walking toward this side, pouting, and happened to run into Li Li Shizhen coming out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dr. Li, why are you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Changle hurried forward to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou was unwell, Qin Mu had sent Li Li Shizhen to diagnose her once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Changle remembered this divine doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it is the Princess. This old man came to check the Emperor’s health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I see. Hey, what is in this teacup?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the teacup is the Emperor’s blood; this old man can use blood testing to check if a person has an illness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So magical? Dr. Li, can I try it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Changle blinked her watery eyes, her gaze full of grievance and pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a mischievous little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to try everything and was curious about everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This... alright then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Shizhen really couldn’t bear to refuse such a cute little girl, so he had to nod and agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great! Let’s do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess, please extend your right index finger; this old man needs to use a silver needle to prick a drop of blood into this cup.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Changle nodded obediently and extended her right index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>",1309,"2026-06-15T19:07:31.042Z","2026-06-15T19:16:46.181Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","abf832aef0520ecc62a5794125eb3d2baf0cccbaeec90fc3d4eb51343e88bf2b","great-tang-ten-years-of-sign-ins-in-tubo-returni-chapter-124","great-tang-ten-years-of-sign-ins-in-tubo-returni-chapter-122",605,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-tang-ten-years-of-sign-ins-in-tubo-returni-cover.jpg"]
