"Your Majesty, this one will go as well!"
Cheng Yaojin hastily called out.
Everyone present was on good terms with Hou Junji, and none of them wanted to be involved in any sort of trouble.
But Cheng Yaojin was different.
He had a grudge with Hou Junji, and now that this matter had occurred, Cheng Yaojin was naturally furious. But Li Shimin also knew of this matter, so he had not allowed him to go. Seeing this, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "We have made up our mind. Quickly return to the army camp and secretly work with Niu Jinda to investigate Hou Junji's old subordinates. We have three days to bring these people under control."
Li Shimin's expression turned grave. "This is an imperial decree!"
Instantly.
Cheng Yaojin paled and hastily bowed. "This subject receives the decree!"
With Li Shimin's order, Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong hurriedly led their men out of the city.
Hou Junji had already sent word that he had returned to Luozhou, but last night's incident and Wang Junke's orders meant that Hou Junji was naturally outside the city.
So, where should he go now?
Naturally, back to Luozhou!
Once he returned to his territory, everything would become troublesome. Thus, the two of them had to stop him in the Guannei Circuit!
They did not dare to delay this matter for even a moment.
Once they were gone …
Li Chengqian hesitantly said, "Imperial Father, Wang Junke …"
"Go! Bring him to see Us!"
Little Guizi hastily left to carry out the order.
Wang Junke's matter could be major or minor, but if it was too major, it would cause chaos in the army and cause the morale of the people to drop. This was not in line with the current situation. Moreover, Wang Junke was one of Wagang's men. If he was killed over this matter, what would Li Shimin look like?
Therefore, even though Li Chengqian had said so, and Li Shimin hadn't said anything in the royal court, everyone was clear on this matter.
Li Shimin could only feign ignorance.
The Eastern Palace was not far from Taiji Palace.
In less than the time it took to finish a meal.
Wang Junke, who was dressed in plain clothes, was brought to the imperial study.
As soon as he entered the door.
Li Shimin waved his hand and dismissed everyone. He looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Brother Wang, long time no see. You've grown old!"
When Wang Junke heard this, he choked and said, "Sinner Wang Junke greets Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin looked at Wang Junke, walked down from the dragon throne, and slowly helped him sit on a stool at the side. He lit a cigarette for him and said, "Just now, Qian 'er has told me everything about you. Actually, the matter at Tongguan was my mistake. I didn't know that my brothers would return, and I didn't know that the battle would be so fierce. If that was the case, even if I lost this country, so what? Even if it costs Zhen's life, Zhen will go and save you. "Hey!"
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Junke knelt on the ground sadly and said, "Your Majesty, this sinner was too narrow-minded. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't figure it out and didn't know that Your Majesty would be facing the most serious civil and military confrontation in the imperial court, I wouldn't have been fooled by that old bastard!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me. The country that my brothers fought so hard for was almost destroyed because of my selfishness. I feel guilty. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin had told him everything this morning, and Wang Junke was ashamed of himself because of Li Shimin's attitude just now.
At this moment, he only wanted to die. Otherwise, he would be too ashamed to continue living. Moreover, this was a serious crime of treason. He had already thought it through when he came here.
However, Li Shimin's face turned cold and he scolded, "Shut up. What do you think you mean by saying this now? I and the Crown Prince spent so much effort to protect you. Now you're telling me that you want to die? "
"Your Majesty! This sinner has committed a crime! "
Wang Junke's head hit the ground and he said in pain, "Your Majesty, this sinner no longer has the face to continue living in this world. I beg Your Majesty …"
"Shut up!"
"Want to die? I lied to you. If you want to die, then fine. We will not let you die. We will give you a decree. Get your ass back to Wagang before tomorrow, and don't leave the mountain until you die. Guard the graves of your brothers and take good care of their children. If anything happens to them, We will hold you accountable! "
"Scram!"
Li Shimin was truly enraged.
He had managed to suppress this matter with great difficulty, but the greatest problem was still waiting for him.
That was Hou Junji.
If he didn't hide this matter well, everything would be over.
The Imperial Court would inevitably be shaken, and the army would naturally be shaken.
But he had to give an explanation for this matter. After a long period of thought, Li Shimin began to pace back and forth with a gloomy expression.
"Qian 'er, do you think that someone broke into the imperial prison last night? Did they find anything? Or perhaps, did they find the people Hou Junji gathered? "
"Yes!"
Li Chengqian hurriedly said.
"According to Uncle Wang, these people rarely gather together, but when they do, they wear veils. However, Uncle Wang can confirm that Dragon King Town outside Chang 'an City is their temporary base."
"Your son feels that if …"
Li Shimin waved his hand. "Send a message to the Chang 'an barracks. Have them rush to Dragon King Town and gather all their men. Tell Us the truth, tell Wan Ming the truth!"
"Yes!"
