Chapter 994

Chang'an City Government Hostel.

Li Er had suffered indignities in Great Qin and wanted to return to Great Tang as soon as possible.

In Great Tang, he was the supreme Emperor; no one dared to make him suffer so much indignity.

Why stay in Great Qin and be bullied like this?

Moreover, the purpose of coming to Great Qin this time was only to request Great Qin to step forward and intimidate the four great aristocratic families, so they would not dare to rebel.

The goal had already been achieved, so there was even less need to stay.

"Xuanling, let's return to Great Tang early. We can send the gift for the Great Qin Princess later."

Fang Xuanling, however, held Li Er back.

"Li Er, since we are here, why not handle one more important matter?

Those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles!"

"What great matter?"

Li Er did not remember discussing any great matter with Fang Xuanling.

The most urgent thing at present was to suppress the four great aristocratic families.

After the intimidation, Li Er still had to give the other families some benefits to appease them. Regarding the work of appeasement, Fang Xuanling spoke.

"I also just remembered one thing.

The Great Qin Princess has not yet reached one month of age, and some foreign envoys have already arrived in Chang'an one after another.

By the day of the full month, it will surely be another magnificent scene of ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute!

It is equally important.

We can take advantage of this grand scene to make friends with foreign envoys from all walks of life in Chang'an City.

This is a good opportunity to quickly find trade partners and enhance Great Tang's national strength!"

Ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute!

Speaking of this, Li Er felt his teeth itch with anger.

Previously, he had held a scene of ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute, and for this, he had almost emptied Great Tang's national treasury and married off over a dozen princesses, although they were all adopted daughters of the imperial clan.

After paying such a huge price, the grand event of ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute was stolen of its limelight by a Qin Mu. Now, Qin Mu hardly needed to exert any effort; just a single notice made various countries send envoys. This sharp contrast made Li Er especially angry.

Why could he, Qin Mu, be so relaxed?

He himself had used all his strength to create a scene, yet it was far inferior to someone else's?

Anger is anger.

If it could allow Great Tang to take advantage, Li Er still had to do it.

As an Emperor, he had to work very hard now, otherwise, he didn't know how many days he could still sit on the dragon throne.

"Xuanling, which forces have you seen?

And which forces should we mainly befriend?"

Regarding Li Er, who was becoming increasingly receptive to advice, Fang Xuanling felt a thousand emotions in his heart.

If Li Er had been willing to be like this earlier, Great Tang would not have fallen to its current state.

"Li Er, for this grand event, besides the thirty-six Western Regions countries that have already been incorporated into Great Qin, Fuyu, Woju, Khitan, Dingling, and Sushen.

There have also come three great powers we have never heard of."

Three great powers?

We have never heard of them?

This statement left Li Er completely bewildered.

Since they are great powers, how could he have never heard of them?

But among the surrounding countries, are there still great powers in Fang Xuanling's words?

Haven't they all been mostly wiped out by Qin Mu?

"Xuanling, which three great powers are you talking about?"

"Arabian Empire, Byzantine Empire, and Kievan Rus!"

Fang Xuanling seemed to have put in a lot of effort, collecting quite a bit of information during this time.

Because Great Qin was too powerful, there were no countries left in the vicinity that could resist it.

Fang Xuanling shifted his attention more toward these more distant great powers.

"Li Er, these great powers are exceptionally powerful, far exceeding our imagination!

The Kievan Rus people live in the Luo Wilderness north of Mobei. It is an icy and snowy place there, and the people are as savage and powerful as bears! Byzantium is a powerful nation with a three-hundred-year history; it was they who drove the Kievan Rus people to the Luo Wilderness. There is also the Arabian Empire; it is said that a prophet named Muhammad has just been born, who is invincible in battle and sweeps across the world! These three great powers are all capable of contending with Great Qin!

If we can get the three of them to join forces, I believe that even Great Qin would be unable to resist!"

Hearing the beautiful picture described by Fang Xuanling, Li Er was stunned.

He had never known before that outside the Central Plains, there were actually so many powerful nations!

Now that he suddenly heard they could contend with Great Qin.

This gave him hope for Great Tang's revival!

Three great powers, no matter how powerful, they are still barbarians.

What culture could barbarians have?

What brains could they have?

Their existence is meant to be utilized by Great Tang!

At worst, he would just send another princess for a marriage alliance!

Li Er suddenly felt that he seemed to have motivation again.

"Xuanling, you are amazing! It is you who have brought hope to Great Tang again!

I want to thank you!

Let's find an opportunity to form an alliance with these three great powers!"

Li Er's excitement was within Fang Xuanling's expectations.

He understood Li Er's mindset too well.

"Li Er, this matter cannot be rushed for now.

Forming an alliance with the three great powers must be done with extreme caution!

We have never heard of them before, and they may not know much about our Great Tang either.

We must first make them realize the strength of our Great Tang, so that when we negotiate, we can seize the initiative!"

"Makes sense!"

Li Er had finally seen this hope and cherished it especially.

"Xuanling, do you understand their domestic situation?

Is there any area where Great Tang is beyond their reach?"

Fang Xuanling fell into silence.

Theoretically, they needed to find the strongest aspects of Great Tang to attract the three great powers to form an alliance.

But.

What could Great Tang possibly be stronger at than them?
