Chapter 761

Chang'an Great Ming Palace.

Since arriving in Chang'an, Li Er had been pestering people to pass messages to Zhangsun Wugou.

Finally.

Zhangsun Wugou agreed to meet him one more time.

Li Er arrived inside the palace with a nervous heart.

"Guanyinbi, you finally agreed to see me."

Zhangsun Wugou was expressionless and spoke.

"I'm seeing you today because there's a matter I need to discuss with you."

Zhangsun Wugou urged Li Er to surrender.

Discuss?

Li Er felt that Zhangsun Wugou's tone had softened a lot. At least it wasn't as cold and hard as last time.

The sudden surprise made him a little excited.

He puffed out his chest, put one hand behind his back, and struck a pose he thought was very charismatic.

"Speak."

Zhangsun Wuji didn't even look at Li Er, turning her face away.

"You've seen Mu'er's abilities and achievements. Now, Great Qin's national strength has also surpassed Great Tang's. Look, why don't you just surrender and merge the Jiangnan region into Great Qin as well?"

Pfft...

Li Er was caught off guard, a breath blocked in his chest, and he almost couldn't recover.

He never expected that Zhangsun Wugou would call him here just to say these things?

How could she do this?

"Are you asking me to hand over the empire on a silver platter?"

Zhangsun Wugou remained calm and expressionless.

Her hands were folded in front of her, like a statue of Guanyin.

"Do you think you still have the qualifications to continue ruling the people of Jiangnan? Look at what Great Tang has become. Even your own sons are killing each other!"

Li Er was struck as if by a heavy blow.

Setting aside the question of whether he had the qualifications to rule, at least he wasn't a foolish ruler who only knew how to eat, drink, and play.

Zhangsun Wugou said his sons were killing each other; she was clearly talking about Li Tai.

But Li Tai wasn't just his son; he was also Zhangsun Wugou's son!

"Guanyinbi, are you angry with me because of Qingque...?"

Li Er's voice was intermittent, betraying the emotions in his heart.

Li Tai was one of his favorite sons, but he never expected him to be so vicious!

Mentioning Li Tai.

Zhangsun Wugou's emotions finally showed some fluctuation.

They were both her sons; why was one so excellent, having achieved such great accomplishments, while the other was so sinister and insidious, with methods so despicable they were hair-raising!

The gap was just too big!

In Zhangsun Wugou's heart, she had always believed that Qin Mu was her true eldest son.

"Li Er, do you still have the face to mention Qingque? It was you who taught your son to be like this!

Open your eyes and take a good look at those imperial princes of yours; who do you want to make Crown Prince, and who do you want to pass the empire to?

If that's the case, it would be better to bow down and submit to Great Qin early!"

Boom!

Li Er's head felt dazed.

Zhangsun Wugou's questioning was like a thunderclap, blasting his mind into a blank slate.

Who to make Crown Prince?

Who to pass the empire to?

These were both questions Li Er was unwilling to think about.

Because he hadn't sat on the dragon throne under his buttocks long enough and didn't want to give it to anyone! "Guanyinbi, you've gone too far by saying that. Is Qingque only my son?
