Chapter 718

This letter had been sent for several days.

Zhangsun Wuji had been wanting to find an opportunity to tell the Emperor, Li Er, about this matter.

This letter was sent by someone from Bianji.

Bianji, who had not had news for a long time, had successfully gained the trust of the Harsha Empire and become his advisor.

In this letter, he hoped that the Great Tang could form an alliance with the Harsha Empire.

Zhangsun Wuji picked up this letter and rushed to the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have a great piece of good news to report."

Li Er was also feeling depressed.

Hearing Zhangsun Wuji say there was a big matter, his spirit was instantly lifted.

He was too eager to hear a piece of good news.

For a long time, there hadn't been a single piece of news that could make him happy, to the point that he was now sitting here in a daze, feeling depressed.

"What good news does Wuji have?"

Zhangsun Wuji took out Bianji's letter.

He presented it to Li Er with both hands.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Master Bianji?"

Li Er's face stiffened.

How could he not remember Bianji?

At Jin Shan Temple outside Changancheng, he had even seen that guy. He had harmed Princess Gaoyang. In the end, there was no other way, so he let Fang Xuanling's son be the one to take the blame.

If one were to talk about the most disgusting and shameful princess in the Imperial family, it was Gaoyang.

It was all Bianji's fault!

Upon hearing that it was Bianji's letter, Li Er's face immediately sank.

"Wuji, are you playing with me? Why hasn't that dead bald donkey died yet?"

Zhangsun Wuji had a bitter smile on his face.

It was because of this reason that he had suppressed this letter for several days, not daring to report it to Li Er.

Now, he was truly forced to do so.

If they could form an alliance with the Harsha Empire, there would be two obvious benefits.

Zhangsun Wuji had to patiently explain to Li Er.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! This Bianji knows his sins are heavy, and now he is willing to atone for his crimes and bring a powerful ally to the Great Tang."

Ally?

Li Er's attitude softened immediately upon hearing these two words.

What the Great Tang lacked most now were powerful allies.

The small countries around them had all been dealt with by Great Qin. Even small characters like Siam and Japan were highly valued in the Great Tang today.

The reason was that the Great Tang was truly too lacking in allies.

Zhangsun Wuji observed his expression and saw that Li Er's heart had been captured.

He continued boldly.

"Your Majesty, ever since Bianji was pursued by Great Qin, he had nowhere to hide in the world. At first, he hid within the borders of the Great Tang, but he discovered that Great Qin's Embroidered Uniform Guard was very powerful.

They almost caught him in the suburbs of Jin Ling City. Bianji was terrified and finally decided to flee the Great Tang.

No one expected that he would finally flee to the Harsha Empire."

Harsha Empire?

Li Er muttered to himself.

He had heard of this place, but only once or twice.

Whether this country was big or small, and how its national power was, he knew nothing!

The reason he had heard of it was because when he was in Changancheng before, Xuanzang had said he wanted to go there to fetch scriptures.

In his impression, there seemed to be some things there that the Great Tang did not possess.

Zhangsun Wuji saw that Li Er did not show disgust.

And continued to speak.

"This Master Bianji, with extraordinary wisdom, is a rare genius! After he went to the Harsha Empire, he claimed to be a high monk of the Great Tang and wanted to meet all the high monks and virtuous ones of the Harsha Empire.

The Harsha King specially held a three-month-long Great Assembly for him, widely inviting high monks from all over to come and debate the Dharma.

Master Bianji truly did not live up to his Dharma name. In the Great Assembly, he became famous in one debate and is already a high monk known to young and old in the Harsha Empire."

Li Er listened and was very moved.

This guy turned out to be a rare talent.

But why hadn't he discovered it before?

It wasn't until he fled to a foreign country that the light of his wisdom was revealed.

"Speaking of which, this Master Bianji does have some ability."

Having received Li Er's approval, Zhangsun Wuji completely let go of his worries.

Sure enough, the Emperor had now put aside personal grudges and was focused entirely on making the Great Tang powerful.

Zhangsun Wuji continued.

"Master Bianji has more than just some ability; he has even attained the position of National Advisor of the Harsha Empire!"
