Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2028 Prince's Private Residence
In the palace, Li Shimin has been waiting for news from Jin Yiwei.

The gunpowder was stolen, but it exploded and bloomed in the night sky very quickly, which made him feel very strange, but at the same time, he was also angry, and he had to figure it out.

Jin Yiwei's efficiency is very high.

Not long after, Yuan Lou hurried over.

"Has everything been investigated?"

Yuan Loudao: "Returning to the Holy Spirit, we found the location where the fireworks were set off. It is a private residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Prince's private house?" Li Shimin's face turned ugly. The stolen gunpowder was set off in the prince's private house. What does this mean?
I'm afraid no matter who heard the news, they would think that the gunpowder was stolen by the prince's people, right?
"Apart from this, is there any other news that has been investigated?"

Yuan Lou shook his head, and said: "Only the location where the gunpowder was set off was investigated, and the others have not been investigated, but the people of Jinyiwei are already investigating, and the subordinates are just here to tell the Holy Majesty first."

Since the crown prince was involved in this matter, Yuan Lou naturally had to be more cautious.

For other people, such as the King of Jin, he can not give face, but the crown prince is another matter.

Li Shimin's eyes were fixed. There was a precedent in the Tang Dynasty for coercing the palace. It is impossible for Li Shimin not to be suspicious if such a thing happened in the prince's private house.

He thought for a moment, and said: "Come on, go and call the prince to me."

The palace servants were ordered to retreat, and at this time, in Chang'an City, the fireworks had already begun to bloom in the east and west cities.

Although the gunpowder was stolen, the court could not break its promise to the people, and it was agreed to set off fireworks, and it was to be set off.

The fireworks were set off, and the people in the east and west cities burst into screams from time to time, and some children ran around excitedly.

East Palace.

A servant hurried in.

"His Royal Highness, it's not good, something big happened, something big happened."

When Li Chengqian saw this servant, he was taken aback for a moment. This servant was a servant of his private house. That private house was not very luxurious, but it was just a place for Li Chengqian to meet people who were not suitable to meet in the East Palace. .

This person is here, what can happen?
"what's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness, I don't know what happened. Today, a firework was suddenly set off in the mansion. Immediately afterwards, Jin Yiwei and other yamen servants came to investigate. This firework is forbidden. Now it is burning in our mansion. Come on, I'm afraid the situation is not good, someone is going to frame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

This person spoke very quickly, and he looked anxious. After hearing this, Prince Li Chengqian also felt that someone was trying to frame him.

However, he didn't appear very worried, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to think about countermeasures.

Following Qin Tian for so long, he has also learned a lot of skills and principles. He knows that when encountering more dangerous things, it is more necessary to keep calm. At this time, only being calm can save lives.

And when Li Chengqian was thinking about countermeasures like this, someone came from the palace.

"His Royal Highness, the Holy Majesty declares you to enter the palace."

Li Chengqian nodded, not particularly nervous, and followed the palace man into the palace.

After seeing Li Shimin, Li Chengqian hurriedly saluted and said, "Father, did you find your son because of the theft of fireworks?"

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, gunpowder is forbidden by the imperial court. Now that it is suddenly ignited on your private house, many people in the court may think that you stole it. What do you have to say about this?"

Li Chengqian said: "Yes, I didn't steal the gunpowder, I'm afraid someone is going to frame me, otherwise if I stole the gunpowder, why did I light it in my own house?"

When he said this, Li Chengqian's expression was very calm, his tone was very slow, and he didn't mean to be nervous at all. Li Shimin also felt that this matter was strange, but now seeing Li Chengqian like this, he felt more and more that someone wanted to frame the prince.

"Then who do you think is going to frame you?"

"Father, as the crown prince, I still have a lot of enemies. As for who framed me, I don't know."

It sounds like nothing wrong with this, but when you think about it carefully, you can understand what Li Chengqian meant. Apart from those who wanted to compete with him for the Crown Prince, who else would harm him?
Li Shimin's face changed slightly, but Li Chengqian continued to say: "Father, I don't know if Jin Yiwei has investigated who stole the gunpowder. Those who can touch the gunpowder are those few people. Those who stole the gunpowder are those people." Among them."

Li Shimin shook his head: "No one admits it, and there is no result yet."

Li Chengqian said: "My son has a way, maybe he can find that person."

"Oh, you have a way?"

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's enough for the father to see his son put into prison, and then..."

Li Chengqian muttered something, after Li Shimin listened, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Your way is good, but I have wronged you."

"Father, don't worry, as long as you can find out the truth, what's the point of being wronged?"

After the father and son finished speaking in this way, Li Shimin put Li Chengqian into the prison. Of course, this prison is not the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, nor the Dali Temple, but the prison of Jin Yiwei.

Because only Jin Yiwei is Li Shimin's most trusted person.

After Li Chengqian was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison, some news soon spread. When this news came out, the news of Li Chengqian's detention naturally also spread.

Chang Xi here, after Prince Li Chengqian was arrested, some news also spread here.

"Have you heard that His Royal Highness was arrested by the Holy Majesty? The fireworks were set off in the Prince's private house. The Holy Majesty suspected that the Prince did it."

"It's really possible that the prince did the thing, but the fireworks came out from us. If no one from us testifies against His Highness, I'm afraid His Highness will be released soon."

"Who says it's not? His Royal Highness is deeply favored by the Holy One. It's just that the fireworks are set off in his house, which doesn't explain anything. It may be framed by someone. Therefore, since we don't have anyone to testify against him, we can't decide anything. "

"That's right, that's right, maybe tomorrow, His Highness the Crown Prince will be released. Without absolute proof, who would dare to do anything to the Crown Prince?"

"These news came from Jin Yiwei, so it must be true."

The news spread here in Chang Xi, and there was a lot of discussion among the people, but at this moment, the eyes of one of these people moved slightly. After hearing the news, he felt that it was necessary for him to stand up.

Because if you stand up, the prince is no longer the prince.
