Although Li Jiancheng sent Jinwu Guards and his personal guards to block Bodhi Temple and detained all those who watched it, as the saying goes: There is no airtight wall in the world, and there is no apricot that cannot escape the wall. The news of Li Yuanji's spontaneous combustion spread wildly and there were many discussions in Chang'an City.

And there are many versions circulating:

"When King Qi was relied on, he disturbed the sleeping heroes. The heroes descended the divine fire to burn the King Qi!"

"The sky suddenly turned dark, and thunder flashed in the sky, bringing down the sky fire!"

"The King of Qi has done many evil deeds, so thunder and fire are punished by the sky!"

......

The people have a rich imagination, especially the theory of ghosts and gods. In addition, over the years, the King of Qi has become accustomed to being arrogant and has left a bad reputation in the hearts of the people, so the discussion about this spontaneous combustion is mostly bad news.

At this time, the Qin King's Mansion.

Li Shimin summoned a group of subordinates to discuss in the meeting hall.

"I have heard of the spontaneous combustion of King Qi. What do you think?" Li Shimin frowned and asked.

Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, the general on the right began to shout, and Cheng Yaojin had the biggest voice: "I heard that the divine fire from heaven burned the evil people, hehe, this is God punishing the evil people, it's a good thing!"

"That's it! If I weren't afraid that Your Highness would be angry, I would want to beat the drums and drums." Hou Junji said sarcastically.

Yuchi Gong didn't say anything, but nodded like pounding garlic.

These people are all Li Shimin's confidants. They know the conflict between Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, and their straightforward personality, so they speak without any restraint.

Li Shimin glared at the three of them. He convened this discussion not to listen to the opinions of these three guys. He asked them to come just to give them face. Wouldn't it be better to sit honestly?

So Li Shimin looked at the counselor on the left.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others just heard the news and knew less and didn't know what to say.

But Changsun Wuji got more news. After the Mingxiufang was blocked by the Jinwu Guard, the news was sent back to Changsun Mansion and reached Changsun Wuji's ears.

This made Changsun Wuji more worried because he couldn't understand what the relationship between King Qi's spontaneous combustion and Mingxiufang?

"Your Highness, after the incident in Bodhi Temple, the Jinwu Guard and the Crown Prince's Guard immediately blocked the Mingxiufang. The Mingxiufang is the property of the family of the Wei subordinates, so the subordinates are worried that this move may have something to do with the spontaneous combustion of the King of Qi." Changsun Wuji said first.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and asked, "Mingxiufang? What are you doing?"

"It is the largest clothing shop in Chang'an City, and many high-ranking officials and nobles customize clothes there. Oh, by the way, the plain clothes used in the Bodhi Temple's salvation Dharma Club were made in the Mingxiufang." Changsun Wuji explained.

Li Shimin became even more confused: "What does the place where the clothes are made has to do with the spontaneous combustion of King Qi?"

"This is something that I can't understand, but now we hear all rumors. According to the subordinate's intention, Your Highness is better off waiting and not participating for the time being. And Your Highness is hiding his weakness now." Changsun Wuji suggested.

Fang Xuanling also said: "Yes, Your Highness is unquestionable. However, this matter must be investigated to avoid being erected by the prince!"

"Can this be a plan to frame Your Highness through the burns of the King of Qi?" Du Ruhui proposed a possibility.

Li Shimin nodded. It was not impossible to have a bitter plan.

"Then let's find out first!" Li Shimin immediately set the tone.

Next, Li Shimin took out a booklet and continued: "Next to talk about Qin Qiong. Do you think you can recruit Qin Qiong?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong immediately corrected their postures.

"Your Highness, Qin Qiong is a talented man. I am not his opponent. This person is definitely a powerful general on the battlefield! Don't let him go!" Cheng Yaojin immediately advised that after drinking with Qin Qiong, he was quite sympathetic and naturally hoped that Qin Qiong would be valued by Li Shimin because it was a win-win situation.

"Yes, Your Highness, Qin Qiong is definitely a character!" Yuchi Gong also agreed.

"What are you so powerful? He is wanted by the court!" Hou Junji said suspiciously.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and asked, "How is the investigation?"

Changsun Wuji said, "It has been found out that Qin Qiong's father is Qin Yi, a lieutenant of Yingyang Mansion. He was ordered to come to Chang'an to guard the village. He happened to meet the King of Qi teasing a girl outside the city. He did not know the identity of King of Qi, so he stepped forward to stop him. In the end, he angered the King of Qi and was surrounded and killed by the King of Qi. His subordinates contacted the internal contacts of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War, and could confirm that Qin Yi was indeed dead, not a disguise. Qin Qiong was the son of Qin Yi. He came to Chang'an to avenge his father and lurked in the royal hunting ground to assassinate the King of Qi. Although he did not succeed, he killed more than a dozen brave guards in a row and injured the King of Qi. He had a very strong martial arts skills."

Li Shimin was relieved. His current situation made him be careful in employing people, so he was worried that it was a conspiracy when facing Qin Qiong's surrender, but now that the investigation is clear, he will naturally feel relieved. He would not use the life of his biological father to bet.

But the cautious Li Shimin still asked Xiang Changsun Wuji: "Wuji, do you think you can recruit Qin Qiong?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It's okay! Your Highness is now accumulating strength, isn't he lacking a capable commander?"

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded.

Now he has summoned more than 500 powerful martial arts soldiers, each of whom is an elite, and can fight against two. If Qin Qiong is recruited and he is the leader and he is trained, his overall combat power will inevitably rise sharply.

Although Li Shimin had 100,000 Xuanjia Army, Taiwei, General of the Right Guard, etc., he was trapped in Chang'an City, and no matter how many official positions and soldiers were, he could not relieve his thirst.

If Li Shimin is not in Chang'an, then he will be the world. With his prestige and appeal, not to mention the 100,000 Xuanjia Army, 200,000 or 300,000 will not be a problem. Who is the leader of the Tang Dynasty at that time? Do you still need to guess?

Therefore, Emperor Tang and the Crown Prince would never let Li Shimin go out to lead troops, unless foreign enemies enter the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty is in danger.

Changsun Wuji once made a sinister plan for Li Shimin, that is, to contact the Turks and cooperate with the Turks to attack the Tang Dynasty. With the support of Li Shimin's intelligence, the Turkish troops' attacks would inevitably be unstoppable, and the northern part of the Tang Dynasty would inevitably fall. At that time, the Emperor of Tang would be anxious and would inevitably recover the lost territory as soon as possible. Then, Li Shimin would have the opportunity to go out to lead troops.

But Li Shimin was kind and unwilling to use this vicious trick, so he refused. This made Changsun Wuji feel very sorry.

Those who achieve great things should not be confined to small matters, as there are many white bones under the great achievements of thousands of years.

In fact, what Changsun Wuji didn't know was that Li Shimin already regretted it.

Although he was restricted to Chang'an at the beginning, he was full of confidence and disdain to use the means of being infatuated for thousands of years. But now he regrets it. But it doesn't matter. Compared with the long time of conspiracy with the Turks, such as troubles, Li Shimin felt that his chances of winning were very high.

Who would have thought that Li Shimin secretly summoned so many brave men?
