Chapter 85

"Forget it!"

"I don't have such great fortune to look like a bold and lawless rebel."

"If I were his father, I would be so ashamed I'd want to jump into a river and end it all! What kind of monsters could give birth to such a son? It's truly baffling."

Li Er rolled his eyes and complained unhappily.

Of course.

He also had his own selfish motives.

Being played around by someone, couldn't he complain a little?

He would complain!

That brat is no good, and his father certainly isn't anything good either!

Fang Xuanling was speechless.

The Emperor is still the same Emperor!

"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing your subject is very confused about."

"Qin Mu once told your subject that he had an irreconcilable hatred for Zhao Duke Zhangsun Wuji, and also said that Zhangsun Chong's position as Top Graduate was not obtained legitimately."

"What exactly is going on with this?"

Fang Xuanling raised his head and looked at Li Er earnestly.

The Emperor must know about this!

"Sigh!"

"Sure enough, paper cannot wrap up fire."

"Xuanling, he is right; Zhangsun Chong's position as Top Graduate was indeed given to him; it was not obtained through his own ability."

Li Er sighed and told Fang Xuanling everything about the scheme he had planned with Zhangsun Wuji.

"What!?"

"That masterpiece of the ages was actually written by Qin Mu?"

Fang Xuanling was so shocked he stood up, his eyes wide as bells, his pupils flickering incessantly.

Horrifying!

It was truly horrifying!

I never expected.

That such terrifying darkness could be hidden beneath this flourishing age!

No wonder.

No wonder Qin Mu would hate the Great Tang so much, and hate Zhangsun Wuji so much.

If it were himself.

He probably wouldn't be much better, right?

No!

Fang Xuanling had a flash of insight, suddenly sensing something, and frowned as he said: "Your Majesty, it's a bit strange. Would just a bit of persuasion to make Qin Mu give up his position as Top Graduate force him to rebel against the Great Tang? Under normal circumstances, a person shouldn't do such an extreme thing. Unless his life was in great danger!"

This sentence already had a pointed meaning.

His life was under great threat, so Qin Mu couldn't stand the humiliation and danger, and thus rebelled against the Great Tang.

Then what exactly happened in between?

I fear only Zhangsun Wuji, who talked with Qin Mu that night, knows!

Although Fang Xuanling didn't say it explicitly, Li Er had already heard the meaning in his words.

Zhangsun Wuji has something to hide!

"Xuanling, I understand what you mean, but there is currently no evidence to prove it directly; after all, only Zhangsun Wuji was present at the time."
