Chapter 377

Hmph!

Alright!

You want to bargain, right?

Then come on!

"Everyone shut up!"

Li Er unleashed his thunderous rage, and the Taiji Hall instantly fell silent.

"Fine, if you oppose it, then have it your way; I won't care anymore."

Li Er waved his hand powerlessly.

Some officials saw his expression and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, victory smiles appearing on their lips.

But before they could catch their breath, Li Er spoke again slowly: "If we keep tossing and turning like this, within two years, the Great Tang will likely be annexed by the Great Qin. I have nothing to worry about; I've been through wind and rain so many times, the worst that can happen is death! But what about you? You must never forget that the young Emperor of the Great Qin, Qin Mu, hates you noble families to the bone."

Boom!

Just one sentence made everyone present feel their scalps go numb, as if struck by five thunderbolts.

Hiss!

His Majesty is right!

That kid Qin Mu views noble families as deep-seated enemies; how could he spare us?

Isn't the Cui family in Handu a bloody example?

A wealthy noble family that had entrenched itself in Handu for hundreds of years!

The entire family was wiped out!

It is said that the corpses of nearly ten thousand members of the Cui family filled the moat.

The degree of bloodshed is evident.

Isn't that a warning from the past?

If Qin Mu's Great Qin truly annexes the Great Tang, will we still have a way to live?

No!

We must never let him annex the Great Tang!

Life is bitter now, but at least it's livable.

If Qin Mu unifies the world, we will likely spend half our lives in the heavenly prison.

"Your Majesty, this old subject agrees to the strategy of sacrificing the chariot to save the commander!"

A white-haired old official walked out from the crowd.

It is worth mentioning that he was also the one who opposed it most intensely just a moment ago.

His ability to trim his sails to the wind is truly breathtaking!

"Your Majesty, this subject also agrees."

"This subject seconds the motion!"

"This subject seconds the motion!"

In an instant,

the civil and military officials of the court stood up one after another to express their stance.

The more they did this, the more Li Er hated them.

This shows that these noble families truly do not have the country and the people at heart.

They are just afraid of losing their own rice bowls!

Damn it!

You people are just as detestable as Qin Mu!

Sooner or later, I will definitely eradicate you completely!

Outside Chang'an City, Jin Shan Temple.

Zhangsun Wuji looked at the temple gate, watching the believers coming and going, and asked: "Is that person ordained here?"

"Master, it is absolutely true!"

"Hmph! You've really made this old man search for you!"

After receiving a definite answer, Zhangsun Wuji smiled faintly and walked quickly into the temple.

Temple side hall.

Incense smoke curled, and the wooden fish chanted.

A young novice monk was chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Zhangsun Wuji walked in slowly from outside, looked at the novice monk in front of him, and sat opposite him.

The novice monk still kept his eyes closed, seemingly not noticing Zhangsun Wuji.

"Brother Cui, you've really made this old man search for you."

The sound of the wooden fish stopped abruptly.

Bianji slowly opened his eyes.

"So it is the Duke of Zhao who has graced us with his presence; this little monk failed to welcome you from afar, I hope you will not take offense."

"Duke of Zhao, this little monk's dharma name is Bianji; please do not mention my secular name again."

Bianji put his hands together and nodded slightly.

"Sigh! Master Bianji, what a pity!"

Zhangsun Wuji sighed and said slowly: "When this old man was a guest at the Cui family in Handu, I could tell at a glance that Master Bianji was no ordinary person; your intelligence is no less than that of the Great Qin's Emperor, Qin Mu."

Hearing Qin Mu's name, Bianji shuddered violently.

This action was naturally seen by Zhangsun Wuji.

It seems the trip was not in vain!

"Did the Duke of Zhao come here this time just to humiliate this little monk? Then this little monk can tell you that your goal has been achieved, so please leave quickly."

Bianji closed his eyes again and knocked on the wooden fish.

But the hatred in his heart was burning violently, unable to be suppressed.

"Hahaha! Master Bianji, this old man went to great lengths to find your whereabouts; do you think it was just to play a boring joke on you?"

Zhangsun Wugou smiled slightly.

Ever since the Cui family in Yizhou was wiped out, Zhangsun Wuji had been searching for the descendants of the Cui family, especially Bianji!

He had once visited Handu and stayed at the Cui family home, where he met Bianji.

Upon their first meeting, Zhangsun Wuji was amazed!

Bianji was like his name.

Eloquent and skilled at hiding his sharpness.

His talent for growth was visible to the naked eye.

From then on,

Zhangsun Wuji remembered this youth.
