Chapter 291

Everyone left one after another.

Only Qin Mu and Li Xueyan remained in the room.

"Husband, what you said just now seemed to imply something; what exactly do you mean?" Li Xueyan still could not shake off the confusion in her heart.

Qin Mu raised his head, looking at the blue sky outside the window, and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, Crown Prince Li Chengqian intends to rebel. I heard that the Tang Emperor is leading the expedition himself, leaving Crown Prince Li Chengqian to supervise the state; isn't this an excellent opportunity?"

Boom!

Li Xueyan turned pale with fright.

The Crown Prince is rebelling?

That's impossible, right?

Even if he had the heart, he wouldn't have the ability.

"Husband, are you being a bit alarmist? The Emperor is in his prime and has high prestige; besides, the Crown Prince lacks ability, so how could he dare to rebel? Even if he did, with the Crown Prince's ability, what are his chances of winning?" Li Xueyan still couldn't believe what Qin Mu said.

Qin Mu smiled indifferently: "490: This is also why I don't want to say much, because no one will believe that Crown Prince Li Chengqian would dare to commit treason."

A few days ago.

Yu Huatian brought news from Changancheng.

The nine gates of the capital have been taken over by Hou Junji, and most of the officials in the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers have been transferred very frequently.

Hou Junji is Li Chengqian's trusted confidant and also the first Duke to publicly support Li Chengqian.

Letting him control the nine gates of the capital means that Li Chengqian has completely controlled the capital.

Coupled with the fact that Li Er's reforms were too hasty, he has already angered most of the noble families.

There have long been rumors in the capital.

Li Er and Li Chengqian have developed a rift.

The position of Crown Prince is in jeopardy.

As luck would have it.

This time Li Er is leading the expedition himself, and the control of the capital has dropped to the lowest point.

The timing, location, and people are all in his favor!

With such a heaven-sent opportunity, even if Li Chengqian didn't want to, the forces behind him would definitely force him to wear the yellow robe.

I reckon Zhangsun Wuji is the first one!

After all, confronting Li Er in public on Zhu Que Street has already put the Zhangsun family in a passive state.

Supporting a new Emperor is the fundamental way for him to preserve his glory and wealth.

"Husband, this matter is of great importance; I must tell the Empress." After listening to Qin Mu's analysis, Li Xueyan realized the severity of the problem.

Great Tang is her maiden home after all, and Li Xueyan naturally doesn't want to see the world plunged into misery.

Qin Mu did not stop her, saying indifferently: "It will be in vain even if you go; no one will believe these ghost stories."

"How will I know if I don't try?" Li Xueyan shook her head stubbornly and turned to leave the room.

Inside the private room.

Li Er, Empress Zhangsun, and Fang Xuanling were sitting inside.

As envoys from Great Tang, they were required to visit Empress Zhangsun as a matter of course.

After all, they are family!

Besides.
