Chapter 829

~5 min read 878 words

Both of these people were harmed very miserably.

Pei Ji was captured by Great Qin.

Bianji's life or death is now unknown, and his whereabouts are missing.

Zhangsun Wuji coughed twice and stood out.

"Your Majesty, I believe the Harsha Empire has an army of 600,000 and should not be completely crushed by this mere blow."

"They will definitely want to make a comeback and avenge the 100,000 soldiers who died miserably!"

Revenge is appropriate.

But one also has to consider one's own strength, right?

In the hearts of most court officials, these were the voices.

Zhangsun Wuji's rhythm-setting words did not have the effect of boosting morale.

Li Er, of course, also knew Zhangsun Wuji's intention, which was to boost everyone's spirits.

If they were scared to death by Great Qin, what hope would Great Tang's future have?

Someone stood out to refute.

"Lord Zhangsun, whether the people of the Harsha Empire want revenge or not, it's useless for us to guess; we have to send someone to take a look to know."

"Lord Zhangsun, elephant troops are completely vulnerable in front of the Great Qin army. What capital does the Harsha Empire have to turn the tables?"

"Lord Zhangsun, we must first see if Great Qin has pursued the victory. Does the Harsha Empire have a nation left now!"

A series of questions left Zhangsun Wuji speechless.

He was just saying encouraging words; everything was thought of in a good direction and couldn't withstand refutation.

But by doing this, he actually helped Li Er.

Although refuted by the ministers, Zhangsun Wuji was not panicked; he knew the Emperor would take action.

Li Er saw the scene in the court and felt sullen again.

Look at these ministers of his, what are they?

Zhangsun Wuji just said a few encouraging words, and they refuted him one by one without end!

"Enough!"

Li Er shouted angrily.

The court finally quieted down.

"What you just said is also not wrong; who is willing to go as an envoy to the Harsha Empire to see what's going on?"

The hall was silent.

No one wanted to go!

The previous envoy to the Harsha Empire, Pei Ji, at that time the Harsha Empire hadn't lost yet, and the army was still there. As a result, he couldn't return.

This time, who would dare to go and die?

Even Fang Xuanling, a person dedicated to the country, remained silent.

He wasn't timid; at least he had met Qin Mu many times, and their relationship was good, so he wouldn't be in mortal danger.

It's just that he didn't approve of pinning Great Tang's hopes on the Harsha Empire.

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!

Striving to develop one's own country well is the way to win.

But he knew this couldn't be said now, as it would be equivalent to openly singing a different tune from the Emperor.

He could only remain silent.

Li Er looked around the hall and saw no one dared to stand out voluntarily.

He couldn't save face.

"Li Tai, as a direct imperial prince, when there is a need to contribute to the country, you go and make a trip." Li Tai fell to his knees with a thud.

The Emperor Father asked him to go to the Harsha Empire, but he was also afraid of death!

"The Emperor Father has just recovered from illness; I only wish to guard the Emperor Father's side at all times!"

The words were high-sounding, but they couldn't hide his cowardice.

Li Er was very disappointed in him.

At such a critical moment, even his own son couldn't stand out voluntarily and take responsibility.

"I have many children, not just you. If you are willing to go as an envoy this time, it will be a great merit for Great Tang, and I will consider making you the Crown Prince." Throwing out this tempting condition made Li Tai stop acting.

Staring with a pair of small eyes still carrying tear stains, he looked up at Li Er.

"Since the Emperor Father values the diplomatic relations with the Harsha Empire so much, I am willing to share the worries for the Emperor Father and am willing to go through fire and water for the Great Tang empire, without hesitation!" This child is too good at saying pretty words.

So pretty that Li Er couldn't bear to expose him.

Li Er calculated quickly in his heart.

Now, the Harsha Empire's army has been defeated, and Yelang has completely fallen into Great Qin's hands.

The road from Great Tang to the Harsha Empire is equivalent to being cut off by Great Qin.

If one wants to send someone, one must either risk passing through Yelang. Or take the sea route, detour through Siam, and go to Tianzhu.

Tianzhu has five countries, and the Harsha Empire is also known as Central Tianzhu, the most powerful one among the five countries of Tianzhu.

If taking the sea route, one must pass through the territory of other countries among the five countries of Tianzhu.

Just right, take the opportunity to see if there are any other countries that can form an alliance.

Although it's a bit difficult, for Great Tang, this is also another opportunity.
