Li Xian wanted to find a trace before Li Longji's thunder was angry, and he could also answer when questioning, so as not to ask three questions, but he didn't expect that Li Longji's reaction was very fierce, and he appeared in Jingzhao Mansion that night.

Following Li Longji, there were Wang Zhen, the secretary of the military department, Yang Chongli, the secretary of the household department, Xiao Song, the commander of the middle order, Li Linfu, the servant of the ministry, and Fang Kaiwang, the secretary of the criminal department.

are all important ministers of the DPRK.

Seeing that Li Xian, Zhu Yuanfang and Pan Zishou were about to salute, Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, let's get down to business." ”

The Prince's Mansion was attacked, regardless of whether Li Ying was his most valued son or not, whether the throne would be passed on to him after a hundred years, Li Longji would not consider this issue and dare to attack the Prince, which would be to despise the laws and discipline of the Tang Dynasty and challenge Li Longji's supremacy in disguise.

What makes Li Longji most sensitive is that this attack is very likely to be related to firearms.

The victory won in Tibet can be said to be the victory of firearms, and the incomparable lethality of firearms has changed the combat style of "being proud of fighting and dying" in Tibet for many years, and the Tubo soldiers who are not afraid of death on the battlefield have turned into wild rats in the face of the indestructible destructive power of gunpowder, and they often collapse at the touch of a button, and have recently lost the foundation accumulated for more than 200 years.

As soon as gunpowder came out, Li Longji was keenly aware of the importance, and took measures as soon as possible to protect the firearms to the greatest extent possible, and also set up the firearms department in the forbidden garden for the first time, just to protect the gunpowder, in Li Longji's eyes, gunpowder can be regarded as the artifact of the Tang Dynasty, which is related to the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the gunpowder is in the hands of the Tang clan, it can protect Li Tang for thousands of generations.

If the crown prince Li Ying is attacked, Li Longji will convene people in the palace to discuss countermeasures and order a strict investigation of this matter, anyway, his son can breathe a sigh of relief if he is fine, but this matter involves firearms, and he can't ignore it.

If you can attack the crown prince with a firearm today, maybe someone will use it to attack you tomorrow, and after Li Longji learned the news, he couldn't sit still at all, so he gathered several current important ministers and immediately rushed to Jingzhao Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Li Xian secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said with trepidation: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

After obtaining Li Longji's consent, Li Xian briefly told Li Longji about the situation he had been detected, including the temporary combination and division of labor between the Criminal Department, Jingzhao Mansion, and the Prince's Mansion. ”

This incident happened in Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it was impossible to hide it at all, Li Xian just hesitated for a moment, and finally leaked the truth.

Li Xian knew that although the emperor lived in the deep officials, his ears and eyes were not very powerful, and the latest situation in Datang would be gathered and sent to Li Longji's imperial case.

Li Longji attaches such importance to it for the first time, and Li Xian also vaguely guessed the reason.

Closing the case file, Li Longji's face tightened, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes: I am really afraid of something, it is really the power generated by firearms.

What is this, the actions of the enemy? Fighting for the throne? Revenge of the enemy?

The above three speculations are not a problem, with Li Longji's popularity and power at this time, he can deal with all kinds of provocations and situations, however, the question that Li Longji wants to figure out most at this moment is: How did the gunpowder leak? Did someone get the finished firearm or did the recipe leak?

"Launched an attack in the Prince's Mansion, these people are really lawless, Li Xian, the three of you have gathered together, and after investigating for so long, you have found this situation?" Li Longji asked with a cold face.

Li Xian smiled bitterly, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are too few clues left at the scene, it is obviously a careful plan, I believe it will take more time to find out, Weichen is doing his best to investigate this matter, and please forgive the emperor for more time." ”

In other words, Li Xian, who has always been conceited, will never open this mouth, however, this matter has no clue, the people involved are noble, and the most important thing is that there are almost no clues in his hands, Li Xian can only ask Li Longji to give him a little more time.

"Half a month at most, and after half a month, I want to see your closing statement, do you hear clearly?" Li Longji said sharply.

If it weren't for the fact that the stakes were not high, and the identity of the people involved this time was also special, Li Longji really didn't want to wait for a day, and heard Li Xian, who had always been strong, ask for forgiveness for the first time, knowing that this case was not as simple as he imagined, he thought about it, and finally gave a fifteen-day deadline.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Li Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and hurriedly thanked him.

There is no clue about this case, it takes a lot of time to collect evidence and arraignment, if the person runs away, you have to chase and offer a reward, these all take time, half a month is not long, it is not short, as long as you grasp it well, you can't close the case, you won't have nothing in your hand like now, and you don't know what to say when you ask.

After the salute, Li Xian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led his henchmen and cronies to go together.

The case of white jade pig fragrant halogen has not been solved yet, Li Xian was already very embarrassed, but he didn't expect to suddenly encounter an accident in the prince's mansion, as Jing Zhaoyin, Li Xian didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't expect a wave to be unsettled, wave after wave, the previous case had just begun, and there was a more serious one, and his luck was extremely bad.

After Li Yan left, Li Longji sat down again, and saw that the ministers were still standing, Yang Chongli and Fang Kaiwang, both ancient old men, stood for a long time, Yang Chongli and Fang Kaiwang's bodies shook, obviously a little physical strength.

"All Aiqing don't have to be formal, just sit down." Li Longji's face was more relaxed, and he said without changing his face.

After thanking the crowd, he sat down cautiously, and Gao Lishi on the side was very eye-catching, and took two cushions for the elderly Yang Chongli and Fang Kaiwang.

After sitting down, Li Longji pulled back the irrelevant people, and then said straight to the point: "Okay, I have summoned you all here, I believe you have all guessed it, and you will all talk about what to do." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally focus on Fang Kaiwang.

Fang Kaiwang smiled bitterly in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, the impact of this matter is too bad, openly attacking the royal nobles can be said to be lawless, and it must not be tolerated, and it must be strictly investigated to the end." ”

is about to return to his hometown to enjoy his old age, but he didn't expect to be involved in this matter.
