The notebook was quickly passed through layers of people and eventually reached Li Shimin's hands.

Li Shimin watched the conversation between Li Jue and Li Tai and felt deeply moved.

"What a good child!"

"If Cheng Gan had had this intention back then, I wouldn't have been willing to depose him, sob sob sob..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anan hurriedly went forward to take a look. Seeing how sensible Li Jue was, he also wiped away his tears.

"Your Majesty, this old servant has said it before: the eldest grandson is kind-hearted and would never do anything heinous..."

Li Shimin nodded upon hearing this.

"yes……"

"But being too kind-hearted isn't good either; it makes you vulnerable to being bullied..."

"Do you remember that time at the Prince of Qin's residence when Li Zhi asked about the gunpowder formula?"

“This child is completely unguarded and wants to tell everyone right away.”

"Fortunately, Li Tai stopped me, otherwise my kill list would have been much longer..."

"But unfortunately, the gunpowder formula was still lost..."

Li Shimin has killed at least a thousand people in the past year.

For some unknown reason, the gunpowder formula of the Tang Dynasty was leaked. Not only were imitations discovered in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, but workshops that produced them even existed in Goguryeo and Silla.

However, their imitations were very poor, far inferior to the gunpowder mastered by the Tang Dynasty.

Even so, Li Shimin dealt with them severely.

Once discovered, all people and animals within a three-mile radius will perish!

Li Shimin regarded gunpowder as a gift from heaven to the Tang Dynasty and would never allow anyone to imitate it!

"Judging by the time, they should be arriving at the East Palace soon. I'll go and join in the fun."

"By the way, tell the Imperial Kitchen to prepare more good dishes later, as we'll be dining at the East Palace today."

"promise!"

Just as Li Shimin was about to set off for the Eastern Palace, Yuchi Fan ran over, covered in sweat.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened..."

"What's the matter that you're so panicked?"

"My subordinate just reported that 300 catties of gunpowder were stolen from the gunpowder workshop last night!"

"What?"

"Lost three hundred pounds?"

"yes!"

"check!"

"You must get to the bottom of this!"

"Your Majesty...the three guards have committed suicide by poisoning themselves..."

"hiss……"
