However, Li Ke did not dare to be careless. He knew deeply that if he had not discovered and stopped it in time, I was afraid that these people would rebel soon.

Although the Tang Dynasty seems to be peaceful now, there are many forces secretly looking at it, wanting to subvert the country of the Tang Dynasty.

"Who caused the commotion just now?"

Li Ke glanced around and asked in a deep voice.

When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads and remained silent, not daring to make any mistakes.

"explain!"

Li Ke gave the order, exuding a terrifying aura, giving people a great sense of oppression.

"It's...the group of people from the Xuanwu Sect."

Some soldiers hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Xuanwumen?"

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened.

He did not expect that the people of Xuanwu Sect would rebel at this time.

I think that when he was in Prince Qin's Mansion, these people were all trained by him, and they were considered his old subordinates.

Now that they have rebelled, I am afraid they have also been deceived.

"Where are they now?"

Li Ke asked.

"We have them under control and are waiting for our father to be punished."

"Bring it up!"

Li Shimin said.

Soon, several Xuanwumen soldiers were escorted up.

They knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Li Shimin and Li Ke.

"Do you know your guilt?"

Li Ke asked in a deep voice.

"The sin will lead to death, please forgive me!"

The leading Xuanwu Sect soldier lowered his head and said.

"Okay, very good. You still remember your identities. Since you have betrayed your father, there is no reason for you to live now."

Li Ke said slowly.

"Drag him out and kill him!"

When several soldiers heard this, their faces suddenly turned pale. Although they knew that they would have a hard time surviving after returning to Chang'an City, they did not expect that Li Ke would directly order them to be killed.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

Several soldiers wailed, but Li Ke remained unmoved.

"Your Majesty..."

At this time, a Xuanwu Sect captain came forward and cupped his hands.

"Who are you?"

Li Ke asked.

"I am the captain of the Xuanwu Sect. I can be sure that these people have been bewitched and they don't know anything about it."

The captain said.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Li Ke asked.

"this……"

When the captain heard this, he hesitated.

"If there is no evidence, then it will be dealt with according to military law."

Li Ke said.

"yes."

The captain responded.

Afterwards, several Xuanwumen soldiers were dragged out and beheaded in public.

"Father, now that the government is unstable, we should take control of the other city gates as soon as possible."

Li Ke said.

"Um."

Li Shimin nodded.

Nowadays, there are undercurrents surging in the court, and many people secretly have objections. If they really succeed in joining forces, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will change its dynasty.



That night, Li Shimin ordered that several other city gates be handed over to Li Ke.

The next day, at the court meeting, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, overlooking the civil and military officials below, but sighed secretly in his heart.

In recent days, the situation in the Tang Dynasty has become increasingly unstable, with turmoil breaking out in many places. There are also undercurrents among officials in the DPRK, and many people are plotting evil intentions.

Today's Tang Dynasty can be said to be plagued by internal and external troubles, which makes people feel even more stressed.

"My dear friends, what do you think of the recent turmoil?"

Li Shimin asked.

Everyone was silent when they heard the words, and no one took the lead in making a statement.

Although they are all officials of the Tang Dynasty, many of them secretly have their own little plans and do not particularly care about the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty.

"Prime Minister, as a person involved in this incident, what do you have to say?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shimin had no choice but to turn his attention to Li Jing, who was sitting at the head of the hundred officials.

"Your Majesty, although I have no knowledge of this incident, officials in the DPRK have unshirkable responsibilities."

Li Jing said.

"Oh? I wonder which officials the prime minister is referring to?"

Li Shimin asked.

"This incident was obviously directed by someone behind the scenes, and many officials in the DPRK and China were closely involved in the incident."

Li Jing said slowly.

"Where's the evidence?"

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

"Veteran, I haven't found conclusive evidence yet, but this incident should not be underestimated."

Li Jing said.

"Since the Prime Minister can't find any evidence, it will be difficult to handle. However, I can ask all the princes to come forward to help stabilize the situation."

Li Ke stood up at this time. After what happened yesterday, he realized that even the Wu family could not completely control the nobles.

This is true, the Wu surname is not a famous surname, it has just improved recently.

Some nobles from the Zhou Dynasty or the Qin Dynasty really didn't necessarily give face.

Even the Li family is the Guanlong Li family.

"Father, please give me a clear explanation!"

Li Ke said.

"You can ask all the princes to come forward and help stabilize the situation."

Li Shimin said slowly.

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Ke couldn't help but curl his lips.

Will this approach work?

You know, many people now have secret objections. Even those vassal kings who hold military power may not obey Li Shimin's orders.

At that time, if those vassal kings violate the law, I'm afraid this method will be useless.

"Father, I do have a candidate for my son."

Li Ke said slowly.

"Oh? Ke'er, please tell me and listen."

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but feel curious.

"My son thought that Wei Zheng could be responsible for stabilizing the situation."

Li Ke said.

"Wei Zheng?"

Li Shimin was a little hesitant when he heard this.

Although Wei Zheng was the right prime minister, his prestige among the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty was not particularly high.

Let him be responsible for stabilizing the situation, I'm afraid those nobles won't buy it.

"Father, you can give Wei Zheng a chance. If he can quell this incident, it will prove that he is still useful. If not, it will not be too late to recall him to Chang'an."

Li Ke said slowly.

"All right."

Li Shimin nodded.

There are not many people in the court who can be trusted nowadays. If Wei Zheng can make a contribution, it will be helpful to his status.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to visit various places to promote your Majesty's virtues."

At this time, Wei Zheng said generously.

"If people everywhere can know His Majesty's holiness, it will be of great help to stabilize the situation."

Wei Zheng said slowly.

After the words fell, all the civil and military officials present looked at Wei Zheng in surprise.

None of them expected that Wei Zheng would take the initiative to ask for help at this time.

You must know that this incident is full of crises and the various places are in turmoil. If you are not careful, you may be killed.

"Prime Minister, are you willing to go?"
