Chapter 518

Unlike usual, these people were all dressed in jewels and finery.

They were all clansmen from noble families or official residences in the capital.

With Li Er's approval, they could finally move house openly.

The entire Zhu Que Street was packed full.

Everyone was scrambling to flee Chang'an City.

Li Er stood on the palace tower, seeing the scene before him, couldn't help but feel a bit desolate in his heart.

A lonely man!

Perhaps that's what I am?

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, let's set off quickly!"

Fang Xuanling stood behind Li Er.

"Xuanling, do you think I was wrong?"

Li Er didn't look back, just asked with some sadness.

"Why does Your Majesty say that?"

Fang Xuanling's heart shook.

What he feared most was this negative emotion of Li Er.

Indeed.

Great Tang was currently in a difficult situation.

External troubles and internal unrest, erupting together.

Even if it were a person made of iron, they probably couldn't hold on.

Let alone that Li Er had suffered many blows in succession.

The Crown Prince died, and the Imperial Prince also died.

Wei Wang Litai and Wu Wang Li Ke were still at odds.

His own son, Qin Mu, regarded him as a mortal enemy.

How bitter Li Er's heart was, Fang Xuanling truly couldn't imagine.

But now was not the time to talk about these things.

He must make His Majesty pull himself together!

"Perhaps, I shouldn't have become Emperor in the first place. If I hadn't become this Emperor, I wouldn't have ended up in this state. My son is at odds with me, and Empress Zhangsun is also deeply disappointed in me. Now, I even have to abandon the people of the world. Throughout the dynasties, which emperor has been as bad as me?"

Li Er released all the pressure in his heart.

Too tired!

It was truly too tired!

Who doesn't want to enjoy family happiness?

Who doesn't want to spend their life peacefully?

Why worry day and night like this?

"Your Majesty must never have such thoughts!" Fang Xuanling was startled and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you must not be dejected. As the saying goes, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it must first labor their mind, starve their body, and empty their person. Perhaps this is the final tempering to become an emperor through the ages."

"An emperor through the ages?"

Hearing these words, Li Er's dim eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance again.

That's right!

An emperor through the ages!

I have done so many things and borne so many bad reputations, isn't it just for the hope of becoming an emperor through the ages?

No matter what is given up, the dream must never be given up!

"Xuanling, you are right! I understand!"

Li Er nodded heavily.

Northern Border, Youzhou City.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chang'an City seems a bit restless recently."

Yu Huatian said respectfully.

"Oh? Did something happen?"

Qin Mu asked.

"According to the news from Great Tang, the imperial court seems to have started having unusual movements!"

Yu Huatian reported the previous news one by one...

"Heaven is truly helping me!"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Just at this moment.

Zhangsun Wugou and the others walked in slowly.

To avoid the plague, all the court officials seemed to be heading to Jiangnan, including the Great Tang Emperor.

"Brother-in-law, what are you so happy about?"

Changle hopped over and hugged Qin Mu's arm, as intimate as biological siblings.

After Qin Mu's previous treatment, Changle's body had long since fully recovered.

"Just received news, your father has taken the civil and military officials of the imperial court to Jiangnan for refuge," Qin Mu said.

"So fast?"

Changle was quite surprised.

Zhangsun Wugou, Li Xueyan, and Wu Meiniang were also thoughtful.

They had already had a plan long ago.

Once Li Er took action, they would find a way to attract the people of northern Great Tang to Great Qin!

In this way.

The population of Great Qin would greatly increase.

Similarly.

It could also further weaken the strength of Great Tang.

"Correct! But this is actually a good thing for us."

Qin Mu smiled.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"

Changle tilted her head and asked curiously.

"I plan to attract all the people of northern Great Tang to Great Qin, in this way," Qin Mu stated his thoughts.

The strength of Great Qin would greatly increase.

And just as he said it, Zhangsun Wugou, Li Xueyan, and Wu Meiniang were stunned.

Could it be that Qin Mu already had this plan?

"Husband, this matter cannot be done by you! You want to become an emperor through the ages, let such matters be left to me," Wu Meiniang stood out first.

She had long intended to become the shadow behind Qin Mu.

No matter what price had to be paid, she would not hesitate.

"No! Leave this matter to me."

Li Xueyan also stepped out.

"You two stop arguing, the most suitable person to do this is me."

Zhangsun Wugou said.

"Mother, what are you all talking about?"

Changle was already confused on the side.

What exactly are they doing?

"You mean taking advantage of others' misfortune, snatching Great Tang's people while the plague is rampant, disregarding their lives, this matter will definitely become a huge black spot in history books later, so you are trying every way to do it for me, right?"

Qin Mu was extremely clever and immediately guessed their thoughts.
