Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

"Are you giving away fifth-rank official positions so easily to those vassal states?"

There were a few murmurs of doubt from the crowd.

Some people were whispering to each other, with doubtful expressions on their faces. After all, such matters concerning high-level decisions of the imperial court and involving major rewards were too far away and difficult to understand for ordinary people like them.

Before the voice of doubt could spread, someone interrupted them loudly!

"Let's not talk about the rest for now! I heard that the situation at that time was far more than just insulting His Majesty!"

The person who spoke was a burly man with eyes as big as copper bells, the veins on his neck were slightly bulging, and his face was flushed with excitement.

"Those Japanese actually dared to threaten Your Majesty! They shamelessly claimed that our Tang Dynasty was weak! They said that we were no match for them!"

As he spoke, he waved his big hands like a palm-leaf fan.

"What's more, they even resorted to knife-work in front of His Majesty! Did you hear that they chopped off Prime Minister Fang's fingers?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they exploded in the crowd. In an instant, everyone's face was filled with anger, a look that was hot and intense.

"How dare these little Japanese slaves be so audacious? They are simply courting death!"

A muscular and burly man roared angrily.

"You say my Tang Dynasty is weak? I can single-handedly take on ten of those Japanese slaves!"

A young man with sharp eyes nearby also shouted with gritted teeth, "How dare they chop off Prime Minister Fang's hand? The moment I set foot on Japanese soil, I will rip out their vital organs!"

In the hearts of these ordinary people, Fang Xuanling is an extraordinary existence.

On weekdays, Fang Xuanling's deeds in assisting His Majesty in governing the Tang Dynasty were circulated among the people like legendary stories, and were one of the core topics they talked about with relish after dinner.

Now hearing that he had suffered such a great humiliation, how could everyone not be furious?

Ergou's gaze fell on the big man who spoke first.

Ergou nodded slightly, and the other party also nodded to Ergou.

At this point, a few people in the crowd who still had some sanity left said with deep confusion on their faces, "But how on earth did these Japanese slaves bring knives to Your Majesty? The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded. This is simply unreasonable."

The voice seemed weak and powerless amidst the angry clamor.

As soon as his question uttered, he was immediately refuted by the man beside him, whose emotions were almost out of control. "Why do you care? The Prime Minister's fingers were chopped off by the Japanese! This is absolutely true! How could it be false?"

"No wonder His Majesty is so furious! If it were me, I would never tolerate such humiliation!"

Everyone followed suit, and for a moment, the only remaining voice of doubt was completely drowned out by the surging waves of anger and disappeared without a trace.

Ergou looked at the people below who were excited and excited, and slowly made an extremely tragic expression on his face.

He slowly raised his head and sighed deeply, "The Japanese are so rampant! Your Majesty and the officials of the Tang Dynasty have suffered so much injustice!"

His voice trembled slightly, with a bit of sob, and his eyes gradually turned red. He looked as if he had experienced the humiliating scene himself.

"Are we really going to sit there and watch outsiders come to defend the Tang Dynasty?"

Ergou paused, then suddenly raised his voice, and the sound cut through the sky.

"Whenever I, Wang Tianyan, think of this in the dead of night, I toss and turn, unable to fall asleep!"

"I often can't help but feel sad and my pillow is wet with tears!"

As he spoke, he pounded his chest hard with his fist.

"I'm gathering my brothers today for no other reason than to give you the 500 coins a day I promised you! Even if it costs me my life, I, Wang Tianyan, will definitely deliver it to you without a cent less!"

His eyes scanned the people in front of him with determination.

"But I don't accept it!"

He clenched his fist again, and then swung it hard in the air.

"Why should we rely on these barbarians to solve the sufferings suffered by the Tang Dynasty? We are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and we have unyielding spirits! We must rely on our own strength to seek justice for the Tang Dynasty and vent our anger!"

Ergou's voice completely ignited the passion deep in their hearts.

"Today, I, Wang Tianyan, am making this clear! I, Wang Tianyan, will not be a human being until I defeat Japan!"

His eyes showed a determination to face death, and his aura was terrifying.

"Today I will go to the shipyard and seize those ships that can cross the sea for battle. Then I will attack Japan and seize the money and property of those barbarians and divide it equally among everyone."

"Let all brothers live a prosperous life, and let Japan know how powerful our Tang Dynasty is!"

His words were full of incitement, which made any hesitation and timidity that might have existed in everyone's hearts disappear, and were replaced by endless fighting spirit.

"Now! Anyone who is willing to follow me to destroy Japan, follow me if you have the guts."

Ergou turned around and strode towards the shipyard with firm steps.

"If you don't want to, go back and continue farming! I won't force anyone."

He shouted without looking back.

"Even if I, Wang Tianyan, am alone, I will go to Japan single-handedly and kill a few Japanese slaves to avenge Prime Minister Fang and His Majesty! I will also avenge this evil for the Tang Dynasty!"

"go!"

Wang Tianyan waved to Lai Fu, who understood and quickly followed.

The two walked side by side, their steps firm and steady, towards the shipyard. At first, only a few people followed hesitantly, their steps slightly hesitant, their eyes gleaming with irrepressible excitement.

"Let's go! Brothers, destroy Japan! Show the power of our Celestial Empire! What are you waiting for? I'm going!"

One of them finally couldn't contain his excitement and raised his arms and shouted.

This shout was like a spark that ignited dry wood, instantly igniting the last trace of hesitation in everyone's hearts.

The rest of the people no longer had any hesitation at this time.

The atmosphere has become so heated that if he doesn't go now, it would be like he has become a traitor to the Tang Dynasty and a coward in the eyes of everyone. He would be unworthy of the Tang Dynasty's upbringing and even more unworthy of the humiliation suffered by Prime Minister Fang.

Even the men who had doubts before were now swept up in the surging enthusiasm and followed closely behind.
