"Drive!"

Soon, one carriage after another came to the outside of the imperial city, Fang Xuanling got out of the car, and couldn't help but worry for a while, His Majesty summoned him late at night, it must have happened to be a big event.

"Brother Fang!"

"Brother Eldest Sun!"

"Brother Li............."

Most of the bigwigs who could be recruited by Li Shimin late at night were important officials of the imperial court, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Ji and other bigwigs who stayed in the imperial court came one after another.

Everyone said hello, stopped talking, and entered the palace at the same time.

When everyone came to the Taiji Hall and found that Li Shimin was already waiting there, everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward.

"I don't know if Your Majesty summoned you late at night, but what happened?" Fang Xuanling asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji secretly observed Li Shimin's demeanor, as the person who was most familiar with Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji found that Li Shimin seemed calm now, but he was already restless.

"You'll see it at a glance." Li Shimin took a deep breath and handed over the 800-mile urgent letter in his hand.

"Tibet!"

The ministers looked at the eight-hundred-mile urgent letter, and their faces suddenly changed, and they shouted in a low voice.

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly understood the reason why Li Shimin was restless, that is, he didn't know whether he was worried about the leakage of the secret recipe for gunpowder or the safety of the Mo family, I am afraid that the latter should be more.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help frowning and said: "The old man always thought that Mohou deliberately targeted Tubo before, but now it seems that Mohou's worries are really right, Tubo is really a wolf's ambition." ”

Originally, the officials deliberately targeted Tubo because the Mo family must have a grudge between the two sides because of Princess Changle, but Tubo showed its true face step by step, before uniting the Tuyuhun tribe to kill Murong Shun supported by the Tang Dynasty, and there was a fig leaf for Tuyuhun to look like an infighting, and now the five thousand Tubo cavalry ambushed the firearms supervisor, which is already naked and the Tang Dynasty is at war.

"This is the fault of the last general, who failed to gain insight into the movements of the Tibetan army in time, so that the firearms superintendent suffered this catastrophe." Li Ji looked ashamed and took the initiative to take responsibility.

Now the military department Shangshu Hou Junji set out to fight Gaochang, and Li Ji was responsible for the affairs of the military department, and 5,000 soldiers and horses in Tubo were lurking outside the Yumen Pass, and the military department was naturally to blame.

"This is also no wonder General Li, who would have thought that Tubo and Tuyuhun colluded, not only with the intention of getting involved in Tuyuhun, but also at Mohou and the firearms supervisor." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, no one thought that Tubo would be so ruthless, first using Tuyuhun to attract the attention of the Tang Dynasty, and after failing to attempt to besiege the 100,000 Tang army, he actually set his sights on the most top-secret firearms supervisor in the Tang Dynasty.

"But Your Majesty, don't worry, there are thousands of firearms supervisors, and they have peerless weapons such as gunpowder, plus Mohou has repeatedly created miracles, maybe this time he can also survive." The eldest grandson Wuji comforted, but the words in his mouth did not leak, and he flattered both ends.

The ministers nodded and comforted one after another, and Li Shimin's brows eased slightly.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, why the five thousand cavalry of Tubo will quietly ambush outside the Yumen Pass, it must be determined that the Firearms Supervision Commission is alone, I heard that after the victory of Gaochang spread, both the people and the official rumors have come to let Merton return as soon as possible to accompany the birth, today it seems that the means of the mastermind behind the scenes are all over the sky!" Li Shimin said coldly:

Everyone's hearts froze, and they immediately heard the meaning of Li Shimin's beating, the people behind the scenes manipulated public opinion and actually did something to affect the decisions of the imperial court, how could Li Shimin bear it.

"Yes! The ministers will certainly investigate clearly. Fang Xuanling and the others said solemnly. Tubo actually stretched out his hand to Chang'an City, which not only Li Shimin couldn't bear, but even they couldn't bear it.

"It's still going on in secret." Li Shimin did not forget to command.

The ministers bowed their heads, and immediately knew that Li Shimin was taking care of Princess Changle's emotions.

The eight-hundred-mile rush in the middle of the night naturally alarmed many people, but under Li Shimin's deliberate blockade, the matter quickly subsided, after all, there are many things that the government has never made public.

However, for two whole days, the people of Chang'an City found that the government was extremely strict, especially for Hu Shang, and almost the entire West Market had been under martial law.

After two full days of investigation, some Tibetan spies lurking in Chang'an City were uprooted one after another, and even spies from other small countries were implicated, and they were also dragged out by beating rabbits.

Li Shimin saw that there were so many spies entrenched in Chang'an City, and his face couldn't help but turn pale, and Fang Xuanling, who was reporting on the side, said helplessly: "Your Majesty, according to the Tubo secret agent, they just got Lu Dongzan's instructions to let them deliberately spread the news that Princess Changle was pregnant with a child, and Mohou worked hard and should come back to accompany the birth in Chang'an City, and the others did not know. ”

Li Shimin sneered: "In this way, there are also people within my Datang who collude with Tubo, intending to leak my Datang state secrets and kill my Datang officials." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "I don't rule out this possibility, but Weichen thinks that this matter can no longer be investigated, and those who can talk to the queen mother and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess must be high-ranking officials and noblewomen, they are not disgusting, I am afraid that most of them are considered for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, if they are all investigated, I am afraid it will definitely cause an uproar." ”

"The people behind this curtain are really cunning!" Li Shimin said hatefully.

If it were an ordinary person, Li Shimin would definitely order a strict investigation, but what was implicated was the dignitaries and nobles of Chang'an City, which was complicated, these dignitaries and nobles were the most gossipy, I am afraid that Dongli Xila would be able to pull out the circle of noblewomen in Chang'an City, and once these dignitaries and nobles were investigated on a large scale, the impact would be too great, and it would definitely not be able to hide Princess Changle.

"But Your Majesty rest assured, no matter how cunning the people behind the scenes are, they will leave a lot of tricks, these dignitaries and noblewomen are just saying some rumors, and the people who can really influence the return of Mohou must be in the Anxi Protectorate, according to the post guard, Mohou has also sent someone to report to Gaochang about the attack, I believe that General Hou will be vigilant and will find out some clues.

"Then let's do this for the time being, Su Dingfang has already gone to rescue the firearms superintendent, wait for the next news." Li Shimin said slowly.

Fang Xuanling had just left, and suddenly Empress Changsun sent someone to spread the word that Princess Changle had entered the palace.

Li Shimin couldn't help but have a headache, after the victory of Gaochang, although Princess Changle sternly refused to let Merton return first, but after the first batch of triumphs of the firearms prison came from Gaochang, the number of times Princess Changle entered the palace immediately became frequent, and every time she turned around to find out Morton's whereabouts.

This also made Li Shimin jealous of Lu Dongzan, this person is definitely a master of controlling people's hearts, and he actually firmly controlled Princess Changle's mind, and even used it, and even played everyone in the palm of his hand.

"Lu Dongzan, Tubo!" Li Shimin took a deep breath and officially set his eyes on this country that had never been on his mind before for the first time.
