I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Why did the Tang Dynasty officials, who were just discussing heatedly, become silent in the blink of an eye?

As envoys from small countries, they are best at observing people's expressions and adapting to the situation.

Seeing that the Tang officials were all silent, they also hurriedly quieted down one by one.

Matsushita Arita was still kneeling devoutly in the center of the hall. His legs had already become numb because His Majesty had not ordered him to stand up.

He was full of curiosity and didn't understand why the hall, which was noisy just now, had become silent at this moment.

When Watanabe Sora and the other eleven people were carefully carried to Matsushita Arita's side, although they were unable to stand up and salute, they still endured the severe pain.

With a trembling voice, he respectfully said to Li Chengqian, "We, the Japanese envoys, come to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! We hope that His Majesty will help us and avenge our grievances!"

Anyone could clearly hear the resentment and anger in that voice.

"Today, all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty are here. Go and identify who it is, and I will not let them off lightly!"

Li Chengqian's words were powerful.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, all the Japanese people immediately showed joy on their faces.

According to Li Chengqian's order, they were slowly carried by Japanese attendants, and each face was carefully identified.

After a round, they did not find the familiar face of the murderer.

A hint of doubt flashed in Watanabe Sora's eyes, and his heart was full of confusion.

Matsushita Arita was also extremely anxious.

The people are clearly here, how can I not recognize them?

Just as Watanabe Sora was filled with disappointment and was about to look up and report to His Majesty, he inadvertently looked up and suddenly found that the figure of the man on the stage was extremely familiar.

He hurriedly took a closer look, and was immediately overjoyed.

His voice trembled with excitement. "Your Majesty, it's him! It's him! He is the murderer! Your Majesty! Please punish the murderer severely!"

"Your Majesty, his subordinates are wearing special official uniforms! I don't even know what department they belong to!"

Watanabe Sora shouted excitedly, completely unaware that the expressions of all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty had become extremely unnatural.

At this moment, the eunuch outside came in with a message: "Jinyiwei Commander Zhang Xianhuai requests an audience with Your Majesty! I have a gift for Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian was delighted to hear the news of Zhang Xianhuai's return and shouted loudly, "Announce it quickly!"

Zhang Xianhuai hurried into the hall, holding two wrapped heads steadily in his hands.

Upon seeing Li Chengqian, he immediately knelt on both knees and said respectfully, "Your Majesty! I have fulfilled your trust and have brought the heads of Wang Qizhao, the head of the Wang family, and Wang Yi, a subordinate, to present the New Year's Day gift to Your Majesty!"

As soon as Zhang Xianhuai said this, there was a cry of surprise in the hall, and everyone widened their eyes in shock.

The Taiyuan Wang family was destroyed just like that?

Your Majesty's methods are too drastic.

Everyone couldn't help but worry. If this happened, wouldn't other families have an excuse to rise up in rebellion?

Although everyone knows that these noble families have ill intentions and will rebel sooner or later, this matter has not been made public. They have been secretly waiting for the right opportunity, an opportunity that will conform to the will of the people and be justified.

Now, isn't your Majesty's action equivalent to handing this reason to them personally?

Li Chengqian glanced at Zhang Xianhuai with satisfaction and praised him, "Xianhuai, you did a good job. The Wang family persecuted the Princess of Tang and the Earl of Huguo. They deserve to die."

"Come here, send the head to Zhaoyu Prison and show those children of the aristocratic families the head of the Wang family!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Two eunuchs hurried forward, took the two terrifying heads, and hurriedly trotted towards Zhaoyu.

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, all the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief. The legitimate power was still in the hands of the court!
