Chapter 259

They are all subjects of the Great Tang!

"You!"

"Men, take Zhangsun Wuji to the Duke of Zhao's mansion!"

Li Er could no longer bear it.

Before the situation deteriorates further, this farce must be ended!

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhao is not wrong! I also petition to go to war with Great Qin!"

"Yes! Great Qin has humiliated us too much. If we continue to swallow our anger, how will the surrounding countries laugh at us?"

"Cannot bear it any longer, no need to bear it anymore!"

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"

Just as Li Er was about to erupt, the crowds on both sides of Zhu Que Avenue began to support Zhangsun Wuji one after another.

They kept shouting the word revenge.

The terrifying momentum made Li Er feel a bit breathless.

Fine beads of sweat also seeped out on Fang Xuanling's forehead.

This is...

The power of public opinion!

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Fang Xuanling kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Having experienced so many big scenes, no one had ever seen such a scene!

Being forced to this point by both ministers and subjects.

Throughout history, only Li Er has had this treatment!

In the history books a hundred years from now.

This incident will probably make it impossible for Li Er to ever turn things around.

"What else can we do?"

Li Er clenched his fists, the veins on his temples bulging.

He was angry to the extreme, but could only force himself to endure it.

Otherwise, what?

Bring Zhangsun Wuji to justice and cause public anger?

Those aristocratic families are all watching for Li Er's mistakes!

If he falls right into their trap, the reforms will be even further away...

"Hoo... hoo..."

Li Er breathed heavily, slowly taking a step forward.

In an instant, Zhu Que Avenue fell silent.

Tens of thousands of eyes were quietly staring at Li Er.

"I announce that from this day on, Great Tang declares war on Great Qin. I swear to avenge the Empress and Zhangsun Chong!"

Li Er raised his hands high, his majestic voice resounding through heaven and earth.

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"

Everyone shouted excitedly.

Zhu Que Avenue, stretching for dozens of miles, was like boiling over at this moment.

And Li Er felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

Tottering!

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly supported the falling Li Er.

"I'm fine, I'm very well!"

"Return to the palace!"

Li Er glared fiercely at Zhangsun Wuji, said nothing, and walked toward the palace with a staggering gait.

After Li Er had completely walked away, Zhangsun Wuji slowly raised his head.

A trace of an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Mu! Great Qin!

Hahaha!

Perish!

This old man will make you pay with your lives for Chong'er!

Imperial Palace, Ganlu Hall.

"Clatter! Bang! Crash!"

The sounds of various things being smashed kept coming from inside the hall.

The Ganlu Hall was in a mess.

Li Er held a precious sword in his hand, kicked the imperial desk over, and kept hacking at the surrounding decorations with the sword.

Priceless treasures were smashed to pieces one after another.

"Scoundrels! Scoundrels!"

Li Er was angry to the extreme, roaring wildly and venting.

He had never been threatened like this in his life!

Even back at the Potala Palace.

Qin Mu had never made such an intense move.

A great humiliation!

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

Fang Xuanling kept wiping his sweat, feeling both nervous and fearful, and worried about the losses that would be brought by going to war with Great Qin.

That would be...

An immeasurable loss!

What to do?

Everything was beyond saving.

"Calm my anger, my foot!" Li Er cursed, breathing heavily and saying: "Issue an edict, wait for the Duke of Su, Cheng Yaojin, to return from the Western Regions, and then directly lead 200,000 troops to attack Great Qin!"
