Chapter 538

Since Li Tai had taken the initiative to request it, Fang Fang Xuanling conveniently gave a suggestion.

Keeping Li Tai by the side of Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji and the three great clans always made the Emperor feel uneasy.

It would be better to send him further away.

"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, the Japanese have always admired the culture of our Great Tang.

But now, they are trapped on the Japanese islands by the Great Qin and cannot have much contact with the outside world.

It is His Majesty’s intention that if you can represent the Great Tang to civilize the Japanese,

the Japanese nation will surely become a powerful arm of support for the Great Tang!"

The Japanese islands!

Conquer Empress Suiko.

Upon hearing that it was this desperate place, Li Tai immediately wanted to shrink back.

The Japanese had been very arrogant before, and not only had he botched things, but they had also wanted to bite back.

As a result, they were trapped on the island by the Great Qin navy and dared not show their heads.

The Japanese pirates who had once been rampant on the East Sea had also disappeared without a trace.

Going to the Japanese islands at this time, "773", wouldn’t that be equivalent to being exiled?

"Prime Minister Fang, I beg you to speak to the Emperor; can I change to another place?

The Japanese islands are truly not a place for humans to stay."

Fang Fang Xuanling smiled and shook his head.

In fact, the Emperor had given no instructions regarding Li Tai’s destination.

It was entirely Fang Fang Xuanling’s impromptu idea to point out this destination to Li Tai.

If Li Tai went to the Japanese islands, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji and the four great clans would be unable to contact him.

In the future, if the Emperor wanted to deal with the four great clans, they would find it difficult even to rebel.

"Prince of Wei, although the Japanese islands are poor, they have several million islanders.

If you become the savior god in the eyes of the Japanese, it would be equivalent to becoming a king in one region."

Fang Fang Xuanling stopped at the point, not saying more.

However, mentioning the words "becoming a king in one region" immediately piqued Li Tai’s interest.

Although he currently held the title of Prince of Wei, he had no real power.

If he could go to the Japanese nation and grasp some real power, even if it meant ruling over several million Japanese, the feeling wouldn’t be too bad.

Most importantly, it was a place where the mountains were high and the Emperor was far away, and no one would be able to control him anymore.

Wasn’t that exactly what he dreamed of?

"Prime Minister Fang, would the Japanese King be willing to hand over power to this Prince?"

Li Tai was hooked by this matter and looked at Fang Fang Xuanling with eager eyes, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.

Fang Fang Xuanling nodded slowly.

"The Japanese King, Empress Suiko, is a woman. She hopes to find a husband from the Great Tang to help her implement reforms and govern the Japanese nation.

After you go there, whether you can seize power or not depends entirely on yourself.

In any case, this opportunity is laid out before you!"

"To be the man of a queen?"

Li Tai’s fat face twitched.

However, thinking about it, it was quite reasonable.

There was no reason for her to hand over the throne directly; it must be something he had to strive for himself.

This was indeed a good opportunity!

A Japanese woman, wouldn’t that be easy to deal with?

Li Tai felt that this might be his only chance to change his current situation.

He hardened his heart and said to Fang Fang Xuanling.

"Prime Minister Fang, I am willing to go!

I am willing to sacrifice myself to expand overseas territories for the Great Tang!"

The words were spoken in a high-sounding manner, but unfortunately, everyone present knew the little schemes in his belly.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji and the three great clans were somewhat dissatisfied with Li Tai’s decision.

If Li Tai left, the situation would be somewhat unfavorable for them.

However, they dared not say anything in front of Fang Fang Xuanling.

They had finally improved their relationship with the Emperor, and they couldn’t ruin it with a single word.

They could only watch helplessly.

Fang Fang Xuanling chuckled.

"With the Prince of Wei having such a heart to serve the country, I will definitely convey it to His Majesty!

Here, I wish the Prince of Wei success in conquering Empress Suiko in advance!"

Having said that, he leaned close to Li Tai’s ear and whispered.

"That Empress Suiko is less than five feet tall and has never seen a man as burly as the Prince of Wei.

If the Prince of Wei goes, he will surely be able to bring her to heel!"

Li Tai laughed.

It seemed he could already see a beautiful future beckoning to him.

The matter was settled.

Even if Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji and the three great clans wanted to stop it, it was already too late.

Among these people, the happiest one, besides Li Tai, was Fang Fang Xuanling.

This trip to handle official business had almost completed all the tasks entrusted by the Emperor.

This was a good thing for the Great Tang.

In the future, with the people of the three great clans scattered across the country, it would be much easier for the imperial court to deal with them.

"Lord Empress Zhangsun, I won’t go to see the prisoners of war.

My mission as an imperial envoy is complete, so I will return early to report to His Majesty.

I will leave the matter of transporting the prisoners to you, Lord Empress Zhangsun."

After speaking, Fang Fang Xuanling signaled for Li Tai to return with him.

Li Tai was dreaming of his bright future and followed Fang Fang Xuanling away without looking back....

Completely forgetting his previous worries.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji watched their group depart from behind, his teeth itching with hatred.

Old Man Cui could not hold back and asked.

"Lord Empress Zhangsun, just letting Li Tai go Wu Li Ke this, have we lost another card in our hand?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was also feeling depressed.

Asked by Old Man Cui, he said irritably.

"Let him go; he’s a piece of trash that can’t be propped up!

We will find another backup candidate!"

Old Man Lu asked.

"Does Lord Empress Zhangsun already have a backup candidate in mind?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji gave a sinister smile.

"The backup candidate has long been ready, it’s just that we haven’t had much contact, and he isn’t obedient enough yet.

We need to give him a good beating."

Old Man Fan stroked his beard, looking at Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s sinister smile, and speculated.

"Is the person Lord Empress Zhangsun is talking about the Prince of Qi?"

"Exactly! Hahahaha..."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji had always been calculating and would think a lot before doing anything.

Old Man Fan must have already seen some clues to this backup plan of his.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji explained.

"The Prince of Qi, Li You, was born to Consort Yin. His maternal grandfather’s family was all killed by the Retired Emperor!

Moreover, he is a concubine’s son and originally had no hope of inheriting the throne.

As long as we persuade him a little, I believe he will agree to rebel."

Once this was said, Old Man Fan, Old Man Lu, and Old Man Cui all understood.

He had previously been in contact with the Chief Administrator of the Prince of Qi’s mansion.

This Chief Administrator was the brother-in-law of the Prince of Qi, the younger brother of Consort Yin, Yin Yin Hongzhi. Yin Yin Hongzhi had always harbored deep resentment toward the Great Tang.

The earlier assassination attempt on Li Er had been orchestrated by Yin Yin Hongzhi.

With him influencing the Prince of Qi, I fear the Prince of Qi had long harbored rebellious intentions.

"Where does Lord Empress Zhangsun intend to start this 'beating'?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji had long thought about this, but because of Li Tai, he hadn’t bothered with Li You.

Now that he needed him, it was just right to use him.

"That guy Yin Yin Hongzhi is a bit crazy and doesn’t listen to orders.

We must get rid of this guy first!"
