Royal study room.
Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and others have been on standby.
It wasn't until Li Shimin came back from Da'an Palace that everyone bowed...
"See Your Majesty."
snort.
Li Shimin snorted coldly and sat on the dragon chair.
After being scolded by Li Yuan, Li Shimin was very angry!
"Zhijie, later you will order people to drive all the juniors from my father's old army back to their respective state capitals."
After a pause, Li Shimin said with murderous intent: "Anyone who refuses to obey will be shot without mercy!"
"Your Majesty, not allowed."
Wei Zheng hurriedly bowed to stop them: "If we drive them back, it will most likely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Supreme Emperor's old ministers."
"Once those old ministries unite to put pressure, Your Majesty will be the one in trouble."
"And if you don't let them meet the Supreme Emperor, rumors will spread all over the world."
"When the time comes, Your Majesty, you force the palace and abuse the Supreme Emperor, how will it end?"
boom.
Li Shimin slapped his palm on the case: "Then what do you think I should do?"
"If my father doesn't cooperate, do you want me to put a knife on my father's neck?"
All the ministers were frightened.
He didn't even dare to take a breath.
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
Wei Zheng frowned and replied seriously: "If your Majesty's words spread, it will cause great turmoil!"
Li Shimin's anger level skyrocketed.
He was frustrated by Li Yuan, and now he was reprimanded by Wei Zheng.
I can't hold it any longer...
"Wei Zheng!"
Li Shimin stood up and roared: "I respect you for serving the country wholeheartedly, but you must also understand the situation clearly!"
Wei Zheng also had a stubborn temper and got into a fight on the spot: "I know that Your Majesty is in a bad mood now, but you are the king of a country, and every decision you make affects thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty. The more times like this, , Your Majesty should be calmer."
"How can I calm down?"
Li Shimin continued to yell angrily: "The people behind the scenes have reached out to the imperial city!"
"Yesterday there were still remnants of the Great Xia, and today another one of my father's old men has arrived!"
"Do you know how many more deployments he will make later?"
"Do you know how much of a threat it would be to leave these old members of my father's army near Chang'an!"
"You just know that spreading this matter will damage my reputation..."
"But do you know that once the people behind the scenes attack them, once they die near Chang'an..."
"The people from my father's old department will still put this debt on my head!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, you are in a state of confusion..."
Wei Zheng began to explain in an orderly manner: "Calm down and think about it. Is there any difference between them being killed by the people behind the scenes and you driving them away?"
"They are dead, and the Supreme Emperor's old subordinates will attack you."
"If you don't let them see the Supreme Emperor, these old subordinates will still attack you."
"I think it doesn't matter whether we drive these juniors away or not!"
"The top priority now is to find the imperial seal."
"What does it mean that these juniors gathered in Niujia Village? It means that the news of the national jade seal has been leaked."
"I sincerely ask your Majesty to think twice before making a decision!"
As Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Shimin gradually calmed down.
If you think about it carefully, it's really...
Regardless of whether he can catch up or not, he will still be killed by the people behind the scenes.
Those in the old department will be dissatisfied with him.
But Li Shimin still couldn't swallow this breath...
Because Wei Zheng was stunned again and was speechless.
"Wei Zheng!"
Li Shimin rebuked again, but his tone no longer contained murderous intent: "Speaking of the imperial seal, I would like to ask you, how could this matter be leaked?"
"Apart from a few of us, Wei Shuyu is the only one who knows about this, right?"
Wei Zheng was speechless secretly, but he still replied: "Is your Majesty doubting Shu Yu?"
"I didn't say that."
Li Shimin had a straight face, but his tone was affirmative.
"Your Majesty, Shuyu returned to the mansion with me yesterday, and he has not left the house since he returned..." Wei Zheng bowed and began to explain seriously...
"And Shuyu is still so young. Even if he says he knows where the imperial seal is, who would believe it?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
If you think about it carefully, it makes some sense.
A child claims that he has the jade seal of the country. Who would believe it?
"Then Wei Shuyu can't escape the suspicion." Li Shimin muttered.
"Your Majesty, now we should make arrangements first and what to do next."
After seeing Li Shimin calm down, Fang Xuanling spoke up at the right time.
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded seriously: "I have great trust in you guys. Who do you think leaked the secret?"
"Your Majesty, I think the leaker should be among the secret guards." Changsun Wuji said: "Apart from us, the only ones who know the news are the secret guards who are looking for the jade seal..."
Li Shimin frowned.
He also has 100% trust in the secret guards.
Otherwise, they would not be allowed to deal with this matter...
"Your Majesty, others may not be able to bribe the secret guard, but you must never forget that the person behind the scenes can know what Princess Changle is doing..."
"He is most likely from the palace, and his status is not low!"
Changsun Wuji analyzed seriously.
Li Shimin frowned and thought about who it was, when Changsun Wuji spoke again...
"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter must have something to do with Songtsen Gampo."
"Princess Changle was attacked. He showed up by chance and saved her by chance. It's such a coincidence."
"Also today in the court, he repeatedly asked for peace with Changle. This is definitely not what a king should do."
"It doesn't make sense that he would persist even at the risk of offending Datang."
"besides……"
Li Shimin nodded frequently, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong.
Because at today's court meeting, Li Shimin still agreed to Songtsen Gampo's request...
Three days later, Songtsen Gampo challenged Changsun Chong!
"Auxiliary machine, are you afraid that Chong'er will lose and deliberately give him eye drops?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, it is about the safety of the Tang Dynasty. How can I not understand the priorities of the matter?" Changsun Wuji replied sternly.
However, after he finished speaking, everyone looked at him with disdain.
"Why do you look at me like this?" Changsun Wuji glared: "Don't what I said make sense?"
"The most I can do is analyze him more deeply."
"Don't you think he is suspicious?"
Fine.
Public and private.
But I have to admit that Changsun Wuji's analysis still makes some sense.
Several people discussed and analyzed it, and even until dark, they could not guess who was behind the scenes.
The final conclusion is... let things develop!
The person behind the scenes summoned Li Yuan's old troops to Chang'an, and there will definitely be a next move.
They just wait for the other party to show off.
Just when a few people had finished their discussion and were about to go home, Li Shimin suddenly showed a malicious smile...
"Xuancheng, now that everyone knows about the imperial seal, there is no need for Shuyu to attract attention. Do you think I can take back the official position of county captain?"
This time it was Wei Zheng's turn to be stunned.
After serving as a county lieutenant for one day, he was fired from his official position before his buttocks were warmed up. When word spread, his old Wei family was still laughed at.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go back on your words?"
Wei Zheng said seriously: "If word spreads..."
"Stop, stop..."
Seeing that Wei Zheng was going to chatter again, Li Shimin quickly stopped him: "I'm not saying that I'm going to remove him from his official position, or I'm going to assign him another task."
"Isn't he quite fierce among the juniors?"
"I'll just let him look at those little kids from my father's old department."
Wei Zheng pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I don't think ordinary people can do this. The credit will have to be calculated separately."
"..."
Are you here to discuss business with me? What else?
"Why can't others do it?" Li Shimin stared.
"This... is very likely to require the use of the Imperial College... army."
"Ordinary people can't command."
puff……
Li Shimin spit out a mouthful of tea.
Fuck your mother’s Imperial College army.
Who sealed it?
Why didn't I know there was this army?
