Under Li Shimin's command, Li Changshou's expression changed.
The eunuch's announcement instantly made everyone's heart skip a beat.
Especially the person who just impeached Li Chengqian, his face turned green and red.
It was extremely ugly.
Especially at this time.
Li Shimin didn't say anything.
He just frowned slightly at Li Chengqian, who was still clean.
Seeing Li Chengqian nodding with a heavy face, Li Shimin was a little surprised.
Did Wang Junke tell him?
Then …
At this time, Li Chengqian respectfully bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Do you know what time it is now?"
Li Shimin asked slightly.
Li Chengqian replied indifferently, "Your Majesty, yesterday, a thief secretly built an underground palace in Chang 'an City. Its size, specifications, and appearance are comparable to the Taiji Palace. Moreover, there are a large number of golden five-clawed dragons carved in gold circling it. Therefore, I have been investigating this case in the city since yesterday!"
What?
Li Shimin pretended to be shocked and got up, saying, "Is what you said true?"
"Your Majesty, what I said is true!"
At this time.
All the officials couldn't stay calm.
Daring to do such a thing in Chang 'an City, if it wasn't rebellion, what was it?
"Your Majesty, I request you to quickly track down this evil thief!"
A civil official interrupted Li Chengqian's words with righteous indignation.
Li Shimin glanced at that person and nodded, saying, "In this case, I'll leave this matter to you. You quickly investigate it. If you can't find a clue in three days, I'll hold you responsible!"
Hearing this, that person instantly felt uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead fly. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better for the Crown Prince to deal with this matter. After all, this matter involves the royal family's face. It's a bit inappropriate for us to deal with it …"
"Okay, you're just afraid!"
"Who doesn't know how to talk?"
Cheng Yaojin glared at that person angrily and scolded directly.
But what was rare was that none of the civil officials dared to make a move at this time. If they were to provoke this unreasonable person, then the Emperor would hand this matter over to them …
Everyone knew that no matter who got their hands on it, it would be a hot potato.
At this time, standing out was simply asking for trouble.
Furthermore, the year was about to end. This political achievement …
Li Shimin didn't say anything and acted as if nothing had happened. He asked, "How's your investigation going?"
Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Yesterday, I, General Yuchi, Lord Zhangsun, and General Fang went to observe the underground palace together. Furthermore, we successfully captured a person last night!"
"Who is it?"
Li Shimin pretended to be angry and waved his hand.
"How dare you build a palace in Chang 'an City without permission? Prime Minister Wei, how should you deal with this crime?"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this crime deserves to be punished!"
Hearing this.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Qian 'er, tell me, who is this thief?"
Hearing this, all the officials pricked up their ears.
This matter was too shocking. If it was true, then this person was really a renegade.
Would this person be so stupid as to return to which underground palace?
After all, Chang 'an City was only so big. They knew everything that happened yesterday. But because they were afraid of offending the Emperor, all the officials felt that it was better to avoid trouble.
The night before yesterday, the house in Chang 'an City was on fire. They heard that many mysterious people in black were caught. During the day yesterday, someone made trouble in Yixin Snack Shop. In the end, it was Zhang Feng who was alarmed. After that, Zhang Feng went to the ruins in person and found something in the ruins.
Because of this, even some officials went to the Imperial Study to ask for an audience with the Emperor. They wanted to punish Zhang Feng, but the Emperor didn't receive any of them. Instead, he gave each of them a beating.
So after that, everyone behaved and pretended that they didn't know anything.
But they were still very concerned about this matter. After all, such a bold person was simply sensational.
At this time, Li Chengqian glanced at the officials and said, "I think Father and all of you know this person. He is the former Guard General of Tong Pass, the junior general of the third rank, Wang Junke!"
"What?"
Before Li Shimin could react.
The civil officials were all in an uproar.
They shouted one after another.
"Wang Junke?"
"The Wagang survivor??"
"My God, how could it be him???"
"He … It should be him! When we impeached him, he should be indignant … "
"Enough!"
Li Shimin's face was gloomy. He knew that Wang Junke's matter had been spread out. This kind of thing should be known by a few officials.
But this group of bastards, how could they act so well?
And when they were exclaiming in surprise just now, Li Shimin deliberately looked at the military officials. Although the military officials were also very shocked, they were really shocked at that time. After all, some things were innate.
The military officials wouldn't inquire about some things, but the civil officials were different.
So at this time, the difference between the two was obvious.
Li Shimin pondered and said, "You're saying that this Wang Junke is the mysterious person who built the underground palace?"
"For such a miraculous feat, tell me how you know that he will definitely go here. I know that this underground palace was discovered around noon today. This news has already spread like wildfire in Chang 'an. How can you be sure that Wang Jun will go here for this?"
"…"
