Chapter 732

Jin Ling City.

Imperial Palace.

Pei Ji had rushed back overnight, traveling with all speed.

He did not expect that he would have a day to see the Emperor again.

He had thought he would spend his remaining years in Jiaozhou.

Pei Ji knelt on the ground, trembling, his eyes filled with tears of excitement.

"Your Majesty, this old subject has returned; this old subject has missed Your Majesty so much!"

Li Er was also somewhat moved.

First, paint a big picture for the Harsha King.

Back then, Pei Ji caused the death of Li Er's good friend Liu Wenjing; Li Er hated him to the bone!

But after so many years, all grudges had already faded.

Nowadays, there are almost no ministers left who can maintain such pure emotions in front of Li Er.

Because of interests, people's hearts are drifting further and further apart.

"It's good that you're back! The Great Tang empire still needs to continue to rely on you loyal ministers." Pei Ji saw that Li Er's attitude was not bad, and the heavy stone in his heart was put down.

He returned this time entirely for the sake of the Pei family.

The new generation of the Pei family no longer had elites; they were just muddling along.

If he, the pillar, did not get this opportunity.

Then their Pei family might be removed from the noble families before long!

"Your Majesty, for this mission of sending me as an envoy to the Harsha Empire, what matters need attention?"

Li Er took Pei Ji's hand and pulled him to the side of the couch, where the monarch and minister sat down together.

"Come, come, let's sit and talk."

He also ordered someone to boil hot tea, and the monarch and minister sat opposite each other drinking.

"Pei Ji, this Harsha Empire is a powerful empire, adjacent to Tibet and Yelang. From a positional point of view, it is an excellent place to confront Great Qin." Li Er took out a map.

This was something he had specifically ordered someone to draw: the Harsha Empire, Tibet, Yelang, and Yizhou.

Li Er pointed his finger at the west of Yelang.

"Look here, if the Harsha Empire sends troops and opens up this area of Yelang. To the north, they can press straight to Yizhou; to the west, they can also threaten Tibet.

In this way, it will make Great Qin very uncomfortable!"

Pei Ji saw the scene Li Er described.

He had no objections to this strategic direction.

Once the Harsha Empire side succeeds, it will definitely divert most of Great Qin's attention.

The pressure on the Great Tang side will be much less, and they can also take the opportunity to do business on both sides and make a huge profit!

"Your Majesty, so my mission this time is to lobby the Harsha Empire to send troops to attack Yelang?"

"That is one part of it."
