"Long live the Emperor!"
The next morning.
To be precise, it was six hours later.
He had just finished dealing with the matters in Yangxin Palace Hall when it was time for the morning court.
Li Chengqian hurried back to change into his court attire. As soon as he arrived at the Political Announcement Hall, he heard Xiao Guizi singing.
Li Shimin waved his hand tiredly.
The morning court had officially begun.
At first.
Wei Zheng hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, what happened in the palace last night at one o 'clock in the morning? This morning, on my way to the court, I heard someone say that there was a thunderstorm … I'm afraid there's a change. "
The supervisor of the Imperial Astronomer also hurriedly complained, "Your Majesty, I've been observing the stars recently and I didn't find any signs of disaster. However, the sudden appearance of the thunderstorm last night was really strange. Everyone in the Imperial Astronomer has been busy since one o 'clock in the morning. It's only now that we found out that it was a thunderstorm from the sky, which means there's a change."
"Your Majesty …"
"Your Majesty …"
At this time, almost everyone in the court had different guesses. Almost every department seemed to be telling what they were doing after the incident last night, but in fact, they were telling the Emperor.
They didn't sleep last night because they had been busy with this matter.
However, at this time, only the people in the Military Department didn't say anything.
After all, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong from the Military Department didn't say anything. They were calm and composed. Even if they had something to say, they had to hold it in.
This was the rule of the Military Department. If the boss didn't say anything, if they dared to say anything, they would be beaten up when they went back.
No one could avoid it.
This was the rule of the Military Department.
At this time, Li Shimin also saw the problem. He ignored the crowd and looked at the Military Department, "My dear ministers, do you have anything to say?"
Hearing this.
Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong looked at each other and then said, "Your Majesty, we don't know what happened in the palace last night, so we can't make wild guesses. However, after the incident last night, we sent five thousand elites to wait for Your Majesty's orders."
"And the defense of the entire Chang 'an City has been strengthened several times. We didn't find anything unusual. We think that if we want to investigate this matter, we should go to the palace …"
"How dare you!"
"Yuchi Gong, how dare you! That's the Forbidden Garden. What are you thinking? How dare you barge into the Forbidden Garden? "
"Your Majesty, Yuchi Gong has been sentenced to death!"
At first, Li Shimin nodded repeatedly as he listened.
However, the sudden voice of the civil officials made him extremely displeased.
He waved his hand indifferently and said, "Then, Lord Zhou, do you have any good ideas?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, the Minister of Rites, who had been making the most noise, was instantly silenced. His expression quickly changed as he said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated from within the palace. However, this matter is of great importance. I feel that Your Majesty should personally …"
"Enough, shut up!"
At the end of the day, he just didn't want to care.
Li Shimin looked indifferently at the Minister of Appointments and said, "As the Minister of Rites, you don't know what to do when something happens in the palace. Minister Yuchi only spoke his opinion and it was a capital offense. What do you think your punishment should be?"
Instantly.
The faces of the ministers who had just jumped up changed slightly.
The Minister of Rites' face was as pale as paper.
Seeing this, Li Xiaogong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the dignity of the emperor. Therefore, I feel that this matter should be investigated thoroughly. It should be handed over to the Supreme Court to investigate!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded.
"My dear minister, you are right. However, I saw what happened last night with my own eyes. Nothing happened in the palace. Let's not talk about this matter for the time being."
What?
Your Majesty …
Saw it with his own eyes?
Then …
What the hell is going on?
Hearing this, Wei Zheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, may I ask what exactly happened in the palace last night?"
"I want to give an explanation to the people of Chang 'an. Last night, everyone in Chang' an heard that sound. If Your Majesty …"
"I! Last night, I was doing divination with Minister Yuan Tiangang in the palace. By chance, we talked about repairing the East and West Markets. While chatting, my interest was piqued and I made some lime powder …
Then it caused such a noise.
？？？
Yuan Tiangang?
Lime powder?
What did this mean?
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
Only Wei Zheng and a few others remembered what happened on the mountain when they heard the emperor mention lime powder.
Zhang Feng used this thing to fry fish.
And the noise caused by that …
But at this moment.
Wei Zheng's expression suddenly became strange.
This was definitely not the sound of frying fish with lime powder. That thing was not so loud, unless it was …
A cannon!
Did Feng Ziba make that thing?
Apart from Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Yuchi Gong, and others all remembered this idea.
They couldn't help showing a touch of excitement in their eyes at this time.
After all, what they wanted to discuss today was the matter of the crown prince guarding the border.
At this time, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "This matter ends here. If you have any questions after the court, you can ask Prime Minister Wei. Prime Minister Wei knows what is going on."
"The war in Qiuci has been going on for some time. Minister Yuchi, let's talk about the war in Qiuci!"
Li Shimin saw the opportunity and pushed the problem to Wei Zheng. After all, Wei Zheng also knew about this matter.
At this time, what they needed to deal with was the crown prince guarding the border.
Although he had this cannon and had seen the power of the cannon, Li Shimin was still a little worried.
