Chapter 876

The next day.

Morning court.

Li Er and Fang Xuanling came to the court again, wanting to observe Great Qin's government affairs.

Qin Mu saw them but didn't say much.

Yu Huatian suddenly appeared in the court.

Normally, a eunuch like him wouldn't be qualified to stand in court and speak.

Today, it was clearly because of a very important matter that he made an exception.

"Your Majesty, my secret agents have discovered that Zhangsun Wuji of Great Tang has secretly gone to Jiaozhou. He is currently training a secret army."

"Because the actions are very secretive, it is not yet known what he intends to do with this secret army?"

Zhangsun Wuji's secret operation?

In the court, everyone cast their eyes toward the two Great Tang envoys.

Exposing the matter of training a secret army right in front of them was clearly demanding an explanation from them.

Qin Mu looked toward Fang Xuanling.

"Minister Fang, what is Zhangsun Wuji going to do? He is the head of all officials in your Great Tang; what important matter requires him to handle it personally?" Fang Xuanling was caught off guard by the question.

They hadn't expected that such a confidential matter would be discovered by Great Qin's secret agents.

But since Qin Mu asked, Fang Xuanling could only bite the bullet and answer.

"Your Majesty, Jiaozhou is adjacent to the Kingdom of Siam; this move is also to guard against secret agents from Siam sneaking into Great Tang territory."

No one in the court believed this lie.

No one was a fool; if it were just to defend against spies from a neighboring country, why would they send Zhangsun Wuji, such an important official?

Qin Mu didn't expose Fang Xuanling's lie on the spot.

He just shook his head while sighing.

"What a pity, what a pity. If I were arranging it, I would use the name of a diplomatic mission to let Zhangsun Wuji take down Siam directly."

"What kind of clever schemes have those small barbarian countries seen? Visiting as Zhangsun Wuji, it would definitely be the King of Siam receiving him personally."

"An absolute perfect opportunity to strike!"

"However, hasn't your Great Tang always had a good relationship with Siam?"

Although Qin Mu was lamenting that Great Tang should have used this strategy, in reality, he had shaken out all of Great Tang's secret arrangements.

The officials suddenly realized.

This explanation made sense; it seemed Great Tang really intended to suddenly take action against Siam.

Fang Xuanling and Li Er exchanged a glance, both with helpless expressions in their eyes.

Qin Mu was too smart; as long as a little bit of information was revealed to him, he could guess the true nature of the matter.

It seemed this matter couldn't be hidden from Great Qin.

But fortunately, it was just Great Tang targeting Siam, and it didn't involve Great Qin.

"Your Majesty, although Siam has always been on good terms with Great Tang, it is only out of fear of Great Tang's strong national power."

"Moreover, they are a barbarian foreign country, a land beyond the pale, and their oppression of the Siamese people is extremely excessive!"

"Our Great Tang is also doing this to save those Siamese people trapped in suffering!"

This excuse was found to be high-sounding.

Feeling their system wasn't good, they wanted to forcibly reform them?

Qin Mu didn't care about this point.

Because Great Qin had always done the same.

In all countries of the world, strength is respected!

Those foreign countries that weren't strong enough, if they were willing to rely on them steadily, that would be fine.

If they were two-minded and played little tricks, the final result would definitely be annexation!

Qin Mu thought for a moment.

Great Tang taking action against Siam now must be under pressure from Great Qin, so they also had the idea of expanding their territory.

Perhaps they also envied Great Qin for having many free war prisoners to use.

Fighting this battle had another great benefit for Great Tang.

Boosting the confidence of the Great Tang people!

The people of any country don't want to be at the bottom of the world.

Especially the people of the Central Plains, who had long been accustomed to being the Celestial Empire and should be admired by all races.

But now, Great Tang was being suppressed by Great Qin and was gradually unable to lift its head.

It could be said that the people of Great Tang must also have a very stifled emotion in their hearts.

If the battle against Siam was won.

That would definitely make all the people of Great Tang feel proud for once, and the imperial court could also gain a lot of popular support.

It was indeed greatly beneficial!
