Chapter 970

Li Er and Fang Xuanling once again stepped onto the territory of Great Qin.

Their hearts were filled with emotion.

From the very beginning, Qin Mu had held a hostile attitude toward the aristocratic families.

This allowed Great Qin to get rid of the influence of aristocratic families from the beginning of its founding and to arbitrarily select officials with talent.

This freedom in using people made Li Er particularly envious.

Now, Li Er had finally made up his mind to take action against the aristocratic families.

But as soon as he took action, he discovered there might be a danger of the country perishing.

Comparing the two, how could Li Er not sigh?

Only by borrowing Great Qin's deterrent could he stabilize the situation in the Great Tang.

Chang'an Great Ming Palace.

In the court, Li Er and Fang Xuanling saw Qin Mu again.

"Pay respects to the Great Qin Emperor!"

Qin Mu raised his hand, signaling them to rise.

He really could not have a good attitude toward the Great Tang envoys.

"I haven't asked the Great Tang for an explanation yet, and you have delivered yourselves to my door?

Since you are here, explain why you sent two people who do feng shui and fortune-telling to Great Qin to cause destruction?" He brought up this matter as soon as they met.

Fang Xuanling was mentally prepared, but he still felt heavy pressure.

"Your Majesty, we have come to Great Qin precisely to apologize for this matter!

It is only because our Great Tang Huang listened to the slander of the four great aristocratic families that he made such an absurd move."

"What slander did the four great aristocratic families say?"

Qin Mu asked indifferently.

He did not care whether it was slander from the four great aristocratic families.

In any case, this account would be settled on the head of the Great Tang Huang.

He just asked casually, wanting to hear about the conflict between the monarch and his subjects in the Great Tang.

Fang Xuanling had already fabricated a reason, pushing all the blame onto the four great aristocratic families.

"Your Majesty, the four great aristocratic families believe that the locations of their ancestral graves have all become Great Qin territory.

And when Great Qin was reclaiming wasteland and building roads and water conservancy, it destroyed the ancestral graves of the major aristocratic families.

Out of revenge, they slandered and bewitched our Great Tang Huang to also come and destroy Great Qin's feng shui."

This explanation was a bit far-fetched.

Li Chunfeng had clearly headed straight for the Imperial Palace, and his goal was Qin Mu's offspring.

It was not feng shui at all!

"The destruction of the aristocratic families' ancestral graves should have been done spontaneously by the common people in various places.

The reputation of the aristocratic families among the common people is too poor!"

Qin Mu pointed out the real reason.

This reason was a slap in the face for the aristocratic families. They boasted of being the pillars of the country, but in reality, they had lived to become public enemies of the whole people.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly echoed.

"Your Majesty is right!

These aristocratic families act recklessly!

Our Great Tang Huang has already made up his mind to rectify the aristocratic families. Two days ago, he just sentenced the Wang clan to exile to the Haixin Sandbar!"

Exile the Wang clan!

Qin Mu had already received the news from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and knew about this matter.

"I have to say, Li Er is really daring!

He actually dared to take action against the four great aristocratic families?"

Qin Mu's exclamation made Old Li feel a bit secretly proud.

Doing this matter actually made Qin Mu exclaim, which was the first time in his life!

At this time, Old Li bowed and stepped out, taking the words from Fang Xuanling.

"The Wang clan destroyed the Great Tang's dragon vein, causing the Great Tang to lose ten thousand miles of fertile land in the Central Plains.

Exiling the whole clan is still light!"

Qin Mu smiled.

The Great Tang actually pushed all the responsibility for losing territory onto the Wang clan!

He had never seen anyone so good at shifting blame!

Shouldn't it be the Great Tang's poor governance, the army's lack of combat effectiveness, and these comprehensive reasons?

With such a disposition, how could the Wang clan be convinced?

"I think the Great Tang's move is very beautiful!

It's just that you should remind the Great Tang Huang that if the four great aristocratic families are not convinced, they might rebel." Qin Mu saw this result at a glance.

As soon as the words were spoken, Fang Xuanling and Li Er were both shocked.

They came as envoys to Great Qin, wasn't it because they were afraid the four great aristocratic families would rebel and wanted to seek some help?

Who knew that as soon as they met, they would be seen through by Qin Mu.

Old Li still did not want to admit it.

"Great Qin Emperor, the Great Tang's dragon vein and the Wang family's ancestral graves are both outside Longcheng, originally connected together.

Now that the Great Tang's dragon vein is damaged, the fortune of the Wang clan naturally declines.

This is their own doing; how could they dare not be convinced?"

Qin Mu could not stand people who were stubborn like dead ducks.

A few days ago, Yuan Tiangang had just rushed to Longcheng to set up a great feng shui formation to let the property of the Wang clan flow into Great Qin.

Now, the Wang clan was suddenly raided, and their property all went into the Great Tang treasury.

This made Qin Mu somewhat dissatisfied.

He wanted the Great Tang to spit out all the wealth it had eaten...

"Old Li, you are a bit too confident!

Do you know what the four great aristocratic families will do first once they decide to rebel?"

What will they do?

Old Li was a bit stunned by Qin Mu's question.
