Chapter 261

Fang Xuanling's eyes were panicked, and he didn't know what to do.

"Bring it here, let me see."

Li Er's unquestionable voice left Fang Xuanling with no time to consider.

In the blink of an eye.

The book was already in Li Er's hands.

When he saw the title "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me", the veins on Li Er's temples instantly bulged.

He completely exploded!

He angrily tore the book to shreds and roared: "Tell him to get out of here!!!"

The news of Great Tang declaring war on Great Qin again spread like wildfire.

The entire city of Chang'an was buzzing with it.

However, this was not the point that people were interested in.

The point was that Zhangsun Wuji held a funeral on Zhu Que Avenue, confronted Li Er in the street, and forced Li Er to send troops to attack Qin.

This incident was like a bombshell, completely exploding in Chang'an and even the entire Great Tang!

The head of all officials had completely broken with His Majesty!

Rumors gradually began to permeate the streets and alleys of the capital.

Hearts were filled with anxiety!

I don't know when it started.

The prosperous city of Chang'an gradually became desolate.

When people walked on the road, they would look left and right unconsciously.

Even conversations were whispered, not daring to speak loudly anymore.

An eventful autumn!

The sky over Chang'an seemed to be covered by a layer of dark clouds.

The wind is blowing before the mountain rain comes.

There was no sign.

But people chose to hide before the disaster arrived with great tacit understanding.

Duke of Zhao's mansion.

"Master, the Crown Prince has arrived."

As a voice sounded, Li Chengqian appeared before Zhangsun Wuji.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

Li Chengqian asked in a low voice.

He was not in a good mood.

The book he sent to Li Er earlier had earned him a severe scolding.

He had originally wanted to wait happily for Li Er's praise, but who would have thought it would be replaced by anger and accusations?

I guess no matter who it was, they would definitely be unhappy.

He had good intentions to send a book, but it ended up like this.

Who did I offend?

"Crown Prince, have you heard about me confronting His Majesty on Zhu Que Avenue?"

Zhangsun Wuji's complexion was as ugly as ever.

He knew better than anyone that going against His Majesty and offending the imperial dignity was no different from seeking skin from a tiger.

If he was not careful, the entire Zhangsun family would face disaster.

But Zhangsun Wuji wanted to gamble!

He was certain that Li Er would never do anything to him.

After all, he wants to be an emperor for the ages, a wise and virtuous monarch!

How could he joke with his own reputation?

If you want to say who in this world understands Li Er's mind best, it is this head of all officials, Zhangsun Wuji.

"I heard, Uncle, isn't this matter a bit too big?"

Li Chengqian nodded, his eyes glancing at Zhangsun Wuji from time to time.

They were in the same boat, and Li Chengqian really didn't want to take any risks.

"Hmph!"

"This is just the beginning!"

"Let me tell you, when His Majesty goes on this expedition, our actions must begin."

Zhangsun Wuji smiled coldly.

"What... what action?"

Li Chengqian's entire face turned pale instantly.

He seemed to have anticipated something.

"Crown Prince, if His Majesty and the civil and military officials knew the secret of your birth, do you think you could still be the Crown Prince?"

"Every day of delay adds a day of risk. Now that I have broken with His Majesty, why not just rebel? I am willing to use the power of the entire clan to help the Crown Prince ascend the throne!"

Crackle!

Suddenly!

A flash of lightning sounded in the sky.

It was deafening!

"Ah!?"

Li Chengqian was so scared that he sat on the ground.

"Uncle, do we really have to take this step?"

"Wealth and honor are sought in danger. Crown Prince, do you think your ability and qualifications compare to any of the other princes?"

"Even in appearance and temperament, you are not even one ten-thousandth of them."

"Those princes in the palace all have dragon blood, but you? You are just the son of a peasant woman from a remote area! If you want to ascend the throne, are you really counting on the Emperor to die?"

"Crown Prince, think twice."

Zhangsun Wuji stood with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the stunned Li Chengqian.

"No!"

"I am not the son of a lowly peasant!"

"I am of royal blood, I am the current Crown Prince of Great Tang!"

Zhangsun Wuji's words touched the reverse scale in Li Chengqian's heart.

He roared wildly, as if to roar the innate lowliness out of his body.

"Good! Crown Prince, with such ambition, this old man can rest easy."

"From now on, everything will be arranged by me!"

"Let's first sell the rare books traded from Jiannan Circuit to the aristocratic families in Chang'an."

"I have already calculated that the value of those rare books exceeds 1 million taels of silver!"

"After selling all these rare books, use heavy bribes to control the officials and the city defense of Chang'an, and the great matter can be settled!"

Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard, having already thought through the entire plan in his heart.

"Everything is up to you, Uncle."

Li Chengqian nodded in a daze.

At this point, there was no other way.

Then let's rebel!

Jiannan Circuit, inside a luxury inn.

"Mother, are you really going back to Chang'an?"

Changle looked at Zhangsun Wugou, who was packing her clothes, her eyes full of reluctance.

Since Zhangsun Chong's death, Zhangsun Wugou had become disheartened.

She felt that she was powerless.

No matter what she did or said, she couldn't change Qin Mu's cold heart.
