Li Shimin's question.
All the ministers couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
They all knew about what happened yesterday, but they didn't dare to go. After all, if such a big thing happened, it would definitely attract attention. They didn't dare to provoke the Emperor when he was angry.
Someone would die if they did.
But why did the Emperor mention this now?
Was it really to catch that mysterious person?
Since the incident with the Tang family, all the ministers didn't dare to act rashly. It was obvious that someone was manipulating everything. Previously, the iron suddenly stopped, and then after the Tang family and the other clansmen were killed, these people quietly started the iron shop again.
What was this?
This was admitting defeat.
The people of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans admitted defeat. What did this mean?
The people of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans had always been of the same breath and branch. If something really happened, they would definitely fight to the death.
Who wouldn't be afraid?
And almost every one of these ministers had some connection with the Five Surnames and Seven Clans.
That was why they were so concerned about this matter and avoided it deeply.
If this matter really happened, none of them would be able to escape. It was the underground palace!
And no matter how they looked at it, the Five Surnames and Seven Clans were the biggest suspects. In addition, before the fire broke out two nights ago, those black-clothed men were discovered by the spies, and what happened after they were caught. No one knew what the Ministry of Justice found out after interrogating them.
Everyone knew that Yixin Pastry Shop was an honest shopkeeper. No one would have thought that yesterday, it was because of him that Zhang Feng was angered, which led to Zhang Feng finding the underground palace …
What was he trying to do?
Was this something that Wang Jun would do?
At this moment, when everyone's hearts were heavy, Li Chengqian said with an impassioned face, "Imperial Father! Actually, at this moment, I am also very puzzled. Back then, this Wang Jun was one of the Five Tiger Generals of Wagang. He had made great contributions to pacify the previous dynasty. How could such a person do such a thing? "
"Back then, General Yuchi also said that no one would come to the underground palace. However, ever since I started studying at White Deer College, I've been adhering to my teacher's teachings. I have to see through everything. Therefore, I've been thinking about whether I should try to keep watch for him."
"So I spread the word that there was a large amount of gold left in the underground palace. The purpose was to see if a big fish would take the bait. I didn't expect that last night, I entrusted General Qin Qiong to personally guard the underground palace and really found General Wang Junke."
When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded repeatedly. "You did well. However, how could Wang Jun be that kind of person? Qian 'er, you can't speak carelessly about this!"
Li Shimin was very pleased. He had never thought that the Crown Prince, whom he had been worried about, would grow up overnight!
And in today's morning court, he was able to understand some of his secret words. This was a good thing. He had a unique understanding of the overall situation. Although at this moment, Li Chengqian seemed a little immature, but Li Chengqian was only seventeen years old. For him to have this kind of effect was already not bad.
If this was in someone else's hands, they would have long been at a loss of what to do.
Especially last night. Although Li Shimin had handed the matter over to Li Chengqian, this morning, Xiao Guizi had also recounted what Li Chengqian had done last night in Chang 'an.
Especially when Li Chengqian had used psychological warfare at the end to break through Wang Junke's psychological defenses. After that.
Even Li Shimin himself felt that it was inconceivable.
This was simply a miracle within inconceivable.
This was what a Crown Prince should do.
Li Shimin nodded. "I heard about this matter early this morning. It was said that last night, there were five big fires in the city. Even outside your Eastern Palace was on fire. What is this about? And what is going on in the prison? "
When he asked.
All the ministers pricked up their ears.
Wei Zheng and the others also looked at Li Chengqian with some curiosity.
Everything that Li Chengqian had done today had simply given them a big shock. Today's Li Chengqian was simply not the one in the past at all.
"Replying to Father, yesterday's fire was actually just one of those mysterious people's three stratagems!"
Li Shimin pretended to be surprised and asked, "Tell me, what stratagems are they?"
"First, when Wang Junke was arrested, I also thought that the matter seemed to have ended here. But who would have thought that there was a great conspiracy behind it!"
"There was a secret passage in the underground palace that led to the outside of the city. At that time, only a few of us knew about it. And these people stayed in the underground palace and never went out, so it was impossible for the secret to be leaked. Those who could enter through the secret passage were only those people. But after Wang Junke was arrested, the city was on fire. Then, in the chaos, someone killed many of my court officials, some merchants, and the common people, about 140 people in total."
"I've investigated these people and found that they are closely related to this mysterious person. Therefore, I'm sure that these people were killed just to hide a huge secret!"
"So I set up an inescapable net in the prison. Sure enough, I got some results. But fortunately, I got all the answers I wanted!"
Hearing this.
The faces of all the ministers could not help but change wildly.
Li Shimin also looked slightly dignified. "Who is it?"
