Chapter 505

Wang Jing felt indignant in his heart.

After all, a perfectly fine great family had suddenly been confiscated and exiled.

No one could accept that.

"If the Emperor won't give my Wang family a way to live, so what if we rebel? I'll fight it out with the Li family!"

Saying this was already treasonous.

But no one present blamed him; instead, they all felt sorrow for the Wang family.

Old Man Cui stomped his foot while cursing.

"Anyway, none of us can hide; rather than waiting for the Emperor to clean us up one by one, why don't we just rebel now?"

Old Man Fan immediately began to analyze the situation.

"We can support the Prince of Wei as Emperor, issue a manifesto to the world, and denounce Li Er's inaction on state affairs and his sycophancy toward the Great Qin!

As long as we block Shaoguan with heavy troops and secede in Lingnan, no matter how many troops he has, he won't be able to get in.

By then, it will be a situation of three-way division of the world! '757'"

Old Man Fan's analysis made many people's hearts flutter.

The mindset of rebels is mostly not to seek success, but to seek survival.

Blocking Shaoguan and seceding in Lingnan was something the former King of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, had done. Even with the strength of Qin Shi Huang and the Han Emperor, they could do nothing about him.

It was indeed a brilliant strategy.

The most fatal thing was that even Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was tempted.

But, in the span of a single breath, he rejected this strategy.

This was not his greatest interest.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was still fine for now; he still had the Emperor's greatest trust.

He could completely strive for a greater world; there was no need to play the game of isolationism with these few old men.

"No rebellion!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's one sentence attracted the gazes of the four great families and Li Tai.

Li Tai asked urgently.

"Uncle, why can't we rebel? The Imperial Father is old and muddled, and he is destroying the Great Tang world bit by bit!

We are acting out of justice to replace him; what is wrong with that?"

Li Tai had just heard that the four great families wanted to support him in becoming Emperor, and his heart was ecstatic.

The goal he had pursued for so long was about to be realized.

But at this moment, it was rejected by Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji in one word.

His urgency can be imagined.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji looked coldly at his nephew and pointed his finger to the south.

"Have you forgotten that there is still a Zheng Zheng Chenggong over there!

You can block Shaoguan and stop the Great Tang army. But can you stop the Great Qin navy?

Don't tell me you have a good relationship with the Great Qin and can win their support!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's last sentence was sarcastic.

Everyone knew that what the Great Qin Emperor hated most were these noble families.

To say that the noble families could talk about cooperation with the Great Qin, even a fool wouldn't believe it.

Li Tai finally quieted down.

He also knew that Zheng Zheng Chenggong had fifty thousand authentic Great Qin Nanyang naval troops and was still constantly expanding the Siamese Legion.

Colliding with Zheng Zheng Chenggong was no different from throwing an egg against a rock!

The other elders of the four great families also quieted down.

Everyone believed that talking about cooperation with the Great Qin was impossible.

Only Old Man Fan still offered a different opinion.

"Gentlemen, our gaze should not always remain in the past.

Isn't the Great Qin also profit-driven? When there is profit, don't they also start cooperating with the Great Tang imperial court? As long as we can provide enough profit, I believe that even forming an alliance with Zheng Zheng Chenggong is not impossible!" Old Man Fan's words brought hope back to Wang Jing.

He was now the one who wanted to rebel the most!

If he didn't rebel, he would lose everything. On the contrary, if he rebelled, he could still use his past prestige to recover some things.

In a word, he had nothing left to lose!

Except for this old life!

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji forcefully patted the desk in front of him, suppressing the restless few.

"Don't be too naive!

Based on my understanding of Qin Mu, no matter who he cooperates with, he could never cooperate with us noble families!

That kid holds a grudge!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's words made the people of the four great families hesitate again.

Currently, the biggest uncertain factor was the Great Qin's Nanyang navy!

Success and failure both lay in a single thought of the Nanyang navy.

Their fate was held in the hands of the Great Qin; there was really no other way.

Li Tai, watching an opportunity to become Emperor placed before him.

Giving it up just Wu Li Ke that, he was very unwilling in his heart.

"Uncle, can't we do it without relying on the Great Qin?

Think again, maybe we can pull in other help?"

Other help?

The people of the four great families were also unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Seceding in Lingnan!

If they didn't consider the interference of the Great Qin, this was definitely their excellent opportunity.

After all, the Emperor had already bared his fangs at the noble families...

No one wanted to wait for death Wu Li Ke this!

Wang Jing thought of the reason his clan had been convicted and had a sudden inspiration.

"How about we also find a feng shui master to build a dragon vein for Lingnan?

Or, we could try to destroy the Great Qin's dragon vein?"

This was too mysterious; others were unwilling to pin their hopes on something as ethereal as feng shui.

Old Man Cui directly spoke up sarcastically.

"If the dragon vein is so important, why don't the Great Qin and the Great Tang value this thing?

It's only because they want to convict your Wang clan that they've come up with such a reason!"

Wang Jing was so angry his face turned red.

But in the current situation, his family had already been annihilated, and he had to rely on the people present to have a chance at a comeback.

He could no longer be as unscrupulous as before.

Several noble family old men, as well as Li Tai, all cast their gazes toward Old Man Fan.

Hoping he could come up with some good method again.

The suggestions he had just made were all quite good, successfully igniting hope for everyone.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Old Man Fan spoke again.

"Our Great Tang, under Li Er's leadership, has lost all its support.

Nowadays, the only way is to persuade Zheng Zheng Chenggong to form an alliance with us.

I still believe we can try; perhaps there is something that can touch his heart?" The other three of the four great families were all silent.

The success or failure of the matter ultimately had to be tied to Zheng Zheng Chenggong.

This hope was simply as small as it could be.

It could almost be called despair!

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, seeing this scene, made the final arrangement.

"Wang Jing, you hide for now. I happen to have a fleet going to Xilandao.

You hide in the fleet, and I assume that Lord Yuchi Gong won't be able to catch you.

We will hurry to test Zheng Zheng Chenggong's intentions and see if there is any possibility of cooperation."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's words were quite balanced.

He neither gave up on Wang Jing nor completely cut off everyone's hope.

Old Man Lu's family power was now ranked first.

He finally concluded.

"Let's follow what Lord Empress Zhangsun said and give it a try.

Perhaps the Great Qin side hopes the Great Tang can be split in two?

We still have a glimmer of hope!"
