Chapter 210
"Exactly! Not to mention Your Majesty, even I wanted to go up and slash him twice."
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty is wise!"
The rulers present hurriedly chimed in to smooth things over.
This was no joking matter!
Since Qin Mu could kill Fuyun, he could naturally kill them too!
In the face of absolute power, any resistance is meaningless.
"Sigh! I won't hide it from you all, but in truth, my own throne is not very secure either."
"Not only must I guard against sneak attacks from the Turks and Tuyuhun, but the Great Tang in the east is also constantly eyeing us covetously."
"In this era, wanting to keep one's life is quite difficult."
Qin Mu sighed feignedly, wearing an expression of great distress.
The rulers: "..."
Damn it!
If you find it difficult to keep your life, then don't we all have no reason to live?
Little ancestor, just say what you want to say!
Stop toying with us!
Our hearts can't take it!
Seeing that the rulers before him were silent, Qin Mu continued on his own: "You have all seen it; even a prisoner under the steps dared to resist me. If I do not find a way, I will eventually be swallowed whole by others."
"Take the present situation, for instance; Great Qin has a problem, and I would like to discuss with you all how to resolve it."
Finally, to the main point!
Hearing this, all the rulers expressed their willingness to share Qin Mu's burdens.
Empress Zhangsun and Li Xueyan were so shocked they didn't know what to say.
What is a vast and mighty nation?
14 40 48 50 57 (Note: join the group)
What is a Celestial Empire?
It requires no marriage alliances, no gifts of gold, silver, or jewels.
In the face of absolute strength, any petty thoughts or resistance are futile.
This is a genuine strong nation!
"Perhaps you rulers have heard some news; I have had some grievances with the Great Tang."
"Among those present, many of you have more or less connections with the Great Tang."
"Now, they are even more of an irreconcilable enemy."
"But in the end, Great Qin is your neighbor. For the sake of harmonious relations between us neighbors, I would like to ask for a favor."
"That is to completely sever ties with the Great Tang and form an alliance with my Great Qin."

Boom!
Once these words were spoken, everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Sever ties with the Great Tang!?
This is no child's play!
Sever ties with the Great Tang, and then form an alliance with you.
Isn't this clearly telling the world that we are going to unite to attack the Great Tang?
These Western Regions nations are weak, and they are already struggling just to protect themselves, let alone unite to attack a superpower like the Great Tang!
Furthermore.
The Great Tang is rich in resources, with exquisite goods.
Many small Western Regions nations rely on goods purchased from the Great Tang to survive.
And the people of the Great Tang are foolish and wealthy.
Especially their ruler, Li Er; as long as one opens their mouth to say a few words of praise, they immediately bestow endless gold, silver, and jewels.

Where else can one find such a good deal?
Many Western Regions nations are eager to send envoys to the Great Tang two or three times a year, and every time they return fully loaded without fail.
Some lucky ones can even marry one or two Great Tang princesses.
If they were to openly sever ties with the Great Tang now.
Wouldn't that be inviting disaster?
But then again.
This young ruler before them is not to be trifled with!
What he said was indeed the truth.
The Great Tang is still a distance away from the Western Regions.
But Great Qin is different!
Perched on the Tibetan Plateau, looking down upon the world!
To the west, it can attack the Western Regions, arriving in a single day.
More importantly, Qin Mu's decisiveness in killing allows no one to say even half a word of dissent.
Perhaps if one refuses him today, there is a risk of national extinction tomorrow.
On one side is the loss of a financial path, on the other is the danger to life.
How to choose between the two paths.
This is actually a very simple question.
"Hmph! I've long been disgusted with the Great Tang! Hypocritical, isn't it just about liking to send money and women? Isn't that Great Tang Emperor just wanting to control us and win over hearts?"
"Exactly! What's so great about them? I've seen the Great Tang Emperor; he's ugly and old, a world of difference from the Great Qin Emperor!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The Great Tang Emperor is also full of hypocrisy, dreaming all day of being the emperor of the ages. I heard that for the sake of the 'Ten Thousand Nations' tribute, he spent a lot of effort, and the national treasury was almost emptied by him!"
The rulers present began to express their stances one after another.
Everyone decided on the spot.
Sever ties with the Great Tang!
In this day and age.
There are still quite a few people who know how to read the situation.
