After Xingye hurried back to Chang'an, Muchuan did not go back to Mu Mansion directly. He first went to Jinyi Guardhouse.
Now the situation is very complicated. Li Zhi doesn't know why, but he insists on putting himself to death.
It is hard to imagine that a child who is only twelve or thirteen years old can have such a sophisticated and scheming mind.
Muchuan even had some doubts as to whether the Li Zhi who called him master all the time in the Imperial College and pestered him to tell him stories was the same Li Zhi today.
In short, according to the current situation, even if I stay in Chang'an City, it is not safe, and I must take further precautions.
After arriving at the Jinyi Guardhouse, Muchuan directly called Chen Xuan.
"What happened to Chang'an during my absence?"
Muchuan asked.
Chen Xuan quickly replied: "Reporting to the commander, there are not many major changes, it's just"
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."
Muchuan frowned slightly and said slightly displeased.
"Two days ago, the prince secretly sent someone to Qianzhou."
"Qianzhou?"
Muchuan was stunned for a moment. At first he didn't understand what was special about this place.
After thinking for a moment, Muchuan suddenly realized.
"What have you done?"
"My subordinates don't know that we Jin Yiwei don't have many people outside Chang'an, so we can only detect movements in general directions, but we can't do more detailed ones."
Muchuan also expressed his understanding of Chen Xuan's words.
Even though Jin Yiwei was once famous, it was because Li Shimin got confused for a moment and then blurted out that he established Jin Yiwei for himself.
But if Li Shimin had a clearer mind, he would realize how dangerous the Jinyiwei organization is.
This special institution that supervises all officials and even the people of the world must be firmly controlled by the emperor. How could he just appoint a minister casually!
Muchuan knew very well that before long, Li Shimin would definitely find an excuse to strip him of his position as commander.
Even if you don't strip them, you will set up several extra positions to supervise yourself to protect yourself.
Regardless of these things for the time being, Muchuan is more concerned about what happened in Qianzhou at the moment.
Speaking of Qianzhou, Muchuan could only think of the former prince Li Chengqian, except for the idiom that the donkey in Guizhou has no skills.
When Li Chengqian's rebellion failed, he should have been executed immediately, but with Taizong's support, he was simply demoted to a commoner and exiled to Qianzhou.
It stands to reason that Li Chengqian, a prince who was demoted to a commoner, has completely broken away from the royal circle. As Li Zhigui is the prince, there is no need to pay attention to him.
But Li Zhi sent someone to Qianzhou again, which was really strange.
Muchuan shook his head and didn't think too much about it for the time being.
Li Chengqian's life and death has nothing to do with him. What he needs to worry about now is how to deal with Li Zhi's killer move.
Being targeted by the current prince is not a good thing.
"Chen Xuan, how many people does Jinyiwei have now?"
"Returning to the commander, there are only about ten people who can be called upon now."
A dozen people?
Muchuan could not help but frown.
There are simply too few people to do anything.
Muchuan did not plan to recruit people in Jinyiwei anymore. Today's Jinyiwei had become a mixed bag, and Muchuan did not dare to hire people easily.
If the person used happens to be a traitor arranged by others, the trouble will be even worse.
In desperation, Muchuan could only return home temporarily.
The night is getting darker, but Chang'an City is not peaceful at all.
In the palace, some 'guests' sneaked in today.
They were extremely skilled and bypassed all patrolling guards.
In fact, they knew exactly where the secret sentry was, and they just entered the depths of the palace silently.
At this point, these people dispersed and moved towards different bedrooms.
Although they are separated, their goals are quite unified.
Everyone goes to the prince's palace.
Overnight, a large number of princes died quietly in their sleep.
The oldest ones are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones are even infants.
The next day, news of the murder of a large number of princes instantly detonated the palace.
Li Shimin was furious and vowed to find out all the assassins and kill them all.
For this reason, Li Shimin convened an emergency meeting. No matter who it is, as long as you are an official of Chang'an, you must come today!
Muchuan did not dare to slack off and came to the court early.
Taking a quick look, the court today was extremely lively, and those who never showed up on weekdays were now behaving themselves.
It is easy to see from everyone's faces that everyone is quite worried.
It is difficult to hide major events in the palace, and everyone has already learned about the murder of a large number of princes.
Everyone knows very well that Li Shimin is probably extremely angry now.
At this court meeting, no one dared to say anything.
The current Li Shimin is definitely going to die if he touches him.
Soon, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty gathered together.
However, this court meeting did not have the relaxed atmosphere of the past. On the contrary, the atmosphere was very solemn.
When the Supreme Emperor passed away, he was never so solemn.
"The Prime Minister still hasn't come."
"Forget it, he has been ill for a long time and has never been here during this time."
"Tsk, tsk, given the situation today, if he doesn't come, he might make His Majesty very angry."
Some ministers were whispering, and Muchuan heard a few words from the side.
I couldn't help but glance around, and sure enough, Changsun Wuji still hadn't come to court.
It is strange to say that Changsun Wuji has been sick at home since Muchuan took over as the commander of the Jinyi Guards. This made Muchuan's hope of dealing with Changsun Wuji a waste of time.
It has to be said that this old fox's sense of smell is really strong, and he actually dragged Jin Yiwei away from his strongest period.
Now, even if Muchuan wanted to deal with Changsun Wuji, it would be difficult to do so with Jin Yiwei alone.
All in all, Changsun Wuji still didn't come today, and I don't know if Li Shimin will be angry because of this.
If he was really angry, Muchuan would be quite happy to see him.
It would also help to see if this old fox is really sick or if he is just faking it.
Suddenly, the court suddenly became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads.
The reason why such changes occurred is because Li Shimin came.
Li Shimin today is very different from usual.
Although Li Shimin usually has some airs, his whole person is just a little colder, and he doesn't have the current attitude of not letting strangers in.
In fact, judging from the strong smell of blood spreading around Li Shimin, it was estimated that he had beheaded many people this morning.
Just kidding, a lot of princes have been assassinated in their sleep, it's a shame that the palace guards are still alive and well.
Li Shimin said nothing and walked straight to the dragon throne.
He did not sit down, but glanced coldly at everyone present.
That gaze was extremely sharp, like a tiger waiting to devour people.
Muchuan was also a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Li Shimin look like this.
It seems that even if the tiger is old, not just anyone can mess with it.
