Chapter 596

Li Er asked nervously.

The Lu clan scholar replied.

"I heard that there was someone named Yan Song who gave several speeches, inciting scholars to rebel and leave Great Tang.

They beat up several great Confucian scholars and then ran to Great Qin."

Li Er felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He remembered the name Yan Song; he was Qin Mu's man!

He had been played by Qin Mu after all!

Hard to accept!

Li Er was somewhat exasperated.

"Aren't there so many guards? How could a group of scholars be allowed to run away?"

The Lu clan scholar was a bit scared when he saw Li Er getting angry.

He said timidly.

"Many of those scholars had books signed by His Majesty the Tang Emperor in their hands. Facing the items bestowed by the Emperor, the guards didn't dare to stop them!"

Ah...!

Li Er almost spat out a mouthful of old blood...

He didn't expect that signing books would not only fail to win over people's hearts but instead give them weapons!

It was counterproductive!

This matter was truly lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet!

Seeing that Li Er seemed to have been angered to the point of internal injury, Fang Xuanling

waved his hand and let those aristocratic descendants leave.

He supported Li Er and returned to the post house prepared for them by the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.

"Old Li, calm down, things have reached this point, let's think of other ways."

"What other ways can there be?"

Li Er was almost crying.

He had spent so much effort to confine some excellent scholars at the Bai Ludong Academy.

As a result, Qin Mu just sent one person to incite them.

All his efforts were wasted!

It was outrageous!

"Qin Mu, oh Qin Mu, are you truly so heartless?"

Li Er was a bit disheartened by the continuous blows.

Anyone who failed like this would start to doubt themselves.

"Could it be that I am truly not material for being an emperor?"

Fang Xuanling was shocked upon hearing this.

Failure could be accepted.

But if the emperor lost confidence, that would lead to the fall of the country!

"Old Li, wake up, stop thinking blindly. This time it was just a little bit, we almost won."

Li Er's eyes were somewhat unfocused.

"Are you kidding me? With such a crushing defeat, how was it just a little bit away from winning?"

Fang Xuanling desperately shook Li Er, forcing him to pull himself together.

"Old Li, think about it. If when leaving, you had given the guards one more instruction, telling them not to pay attention to the Emperor's signature, and that whoever dared to leave would be killed without mercy.

Wouldn't those scholars have been unable to run away?"

Hmm?

That makes sense!

Li Er instantly regained some spirit.

"In that case, victory and defeat were really just a little bit away!"

Seeing Li Er regain a bit of fighting spirit, Fang Xuanling finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"That's right, next time, as long as we consider a little bit more, we will have hope of winning!"

Li Er felt that strength had returned to him.

In this way, Qin Mu was only slightly better than him.

This tiny gap was nothing at all.

I can win!

"Xuanling, let's go to the street and listen to what the people are saying?

I will definitely be able to find Great Qin's weakness!"
