Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 456

A huge Tang character was embroidered on the rattling flag, and a powerful army was getting closer and closer with the deafening sound of iron hooves.

The defenders on the city wall were extremely nervous, because such a large army actually set up a formation of arrows and charged forward, as if they were about to attack the city. One of the generals is Cheng Zhijie, the confidant of the saint, and this army is naturally the saint's own army, flying cavalry.

"Open the door!"

The sage came back, so the gatekeeper quickly opened the gate. Originally, according to etiquette, when the emperor returns to the shelf, it should be paved with flowers and sprinkled with water to greet him. Judging by this anxious posture, it looks like he is about to attack a city.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie nodded, then rode back and said to Li Shimin, "Return to the saint, everything in the city is as usual, and the door has been opened."

"Hehe, as I expected, this little bastard, Zhenheng, already knew that Hou Junji was going to rebel. Let's go, go to the city, and see our old friend for the last time."

On the other side, in the palace, before the blood on the steps could be cleaned up, they heard the news of Li Shimin's sudden return to the palace. Everyone was overjoyed, and Li Chengqian led them out of the palace to greet them, although Li Shimin was already coming when they left We've arrived at the gate of the palace, but it's a meaning anyway, isn't it?
Before Hou Junji had been swearing that Li Shimin had died. Although they didn't believe it, they couldn't believe it. Now that it's all over, Li Shimin has returned safe and sound, and everyone's hearts can naturally be put in their stomachs.

After getting out of the car, Li Shimin first asked Fang Xuanling about the whole story, but he didn't say anything, and went straight back to Zichen Palace. Just when all the officials were puzzled by Zhang Er, there was a decree from the Central Palace. Ask Qin Hao to go to the Zichen Palace alone to have an audience.

Qin Hao thought to himself that for such a big event this time, it is inevitable that he should make the first contribution. It is normal to see himself first, so he went without thinking too much.

As a result, Qin Hao felt a little silly when he entered the palace.

I saw a forest of warriors in the palace, with bright armor, each with a shining weapon in their hands, a row of chilling scenes, Cheng Yaojin was standing in front of the head holding a Ma Shuo, seeing Qin Hao coming in, he just waved his hand, Zichen Palace The door is closed.

This scene was really shocking. Qin Hao fell to his knees with a thump in fright. The key is that his mind is still confused. What do you mean?

Li Shimin's voice came faintly from behind the curtain, but he didn't lift the curtain.

"Zhenheng."

"The minister is here."

"Are you guilty?"

Qin Hao was covered in cold sweat, his clothes were all wet, but he could only say in a panic: "Please tell me clearly, my minister... I really don't know where the crime is."

"I don't know? Let me ask you, Hou Junji rebelled, but you induced him?"

Qin Hao's mouth was bitter. He couldn't admit such words anyway, so he could only defend himself: "I'm terrified, I'm really terrified. Your Majesty, you know me. Even if I borrowed my courage from the sky, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing." What's the matter, let's talk about the minister He De, how can he be able to seduce Hou Junji?"

"You dare to say that Hou Junji rebelled, but you didn't know about it beforehand?"

"Holy Lord Mingjian, I did notice some clues before, but firstly, there is really no evidence. If there is a gap between the minister and Hou Junji, if you report rashly, no one will believe it. Secondly, I don't believe it myself. Junji really has such guts, so he didn't say anything."

With a sound of swiping, the curtain was pulled back by Li Shimin. Li Shimin kicked Qin Hao somersaults when he came up, and said angrily: "Clues and horses? Do you still dare to argue with me now? Let me ask you, this time the Demon Cult Is it your credit for joining forces with Hou Junji, to be honest! Why do you think I didn't die?"

Qin Hao panicked slightly, could it be that Li Shimin really noticed something?
However, Qin Hao still gritted his teeth and said: "No, Holy Master Mingjian, I have a mortal hatred with the Demon Cult, and the Demon Cult monster almost killed me twice, how could I have anything to do with the Demon Cult? "

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, okay, your mouth is hard enough, do you know why I didn't die?"

"The Holy Majesty's blessings are equal to the heavens, and Hou Jun gathered a little bit of assassin's way, so naturally he can't hurt the Holy Majesty at all."

"No, the Devil's Cult has made sufficient preparations this time. If I hadn't noticed it in advance and made a deliberate arrangement, I would be dead now, so you don't have to guess. They colluded with Li Junxian, and it was nothing more than a combination of inside and outside. That's all, I knew that the Devil's Cult was a serious problem, and I guessed that they would collude with important ministers, so I deliberately created this opportunity for them. Just you."

Qin Hao secretly feared for a moment, and thought to himself, I am afraid that besides this, he also has the purpose of testing the officials and the prince.

"I didn't expect that this person would be Hou Junji, and I was also very sad, but I, this time, there was an unexpected harvest! Qin! Zhen! Heng! Let me ask you, how did you notice the change in Hou Junji? , Why did others not look for the devil cultist, but instead found Hou Junji who has a grudge against you! Answer me, answer well, you will be the new Zhongshu order tomorrow, if you can't answer, I will cut you off now! "

Qin Hao naturally had a set of rhetoric that he had made up a long time ago. It was nothing more than detecting the change of the Demon Cult first, and then finding out about Hou Junji through the Demon Cult. But at this time, he didn't dare to say it. The cognition of the teacher seems to be far beyond my imagination, and if he can use such a trick, he may not be able to fool him.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao slowly took off his black gauze, with tears in his eyes, and said in grief and indignation: "I know that Hou Junji and His Majesty used to be brothers and sisters. I knew that he was going to rebel, but I didn't report it. It's true. There is also a selfish intention to use this to eliminate a powerful enemy, but I ask myself, I have followed the Holy One for 13 years, I have done my best, and I have never committed any infidelity or unrighteousness. If the Holy One wants to kill, then I will kill the minister."

Li Shimin looked at Qin Hao who was kneeling on the ground, and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Oh, get up, it's me, I lost my composure for a while, you go, Xuanling is old, and I have repeatedly asked you to let me go." It's just that your qualifications were a little less senior before, so you will officially take up the post tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

…………

It wasn't until Qin Hao left the Zichen Palace that Cheng Yaojin asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, this kid...didn't say anything just now! He still didn't say anything, how did he know that Hou Junji was going to rebel."

"Oh, this time, I lost my composure. I didn't say anything, that is, I said everything. He was indeed the one who induced Hou Junji to rebel. The matter of the Devil's Cult started in the southwest. Poor Hou Junji is waiting in the southwest. After so long, the current commercial roads are full of people from the Green Gang, hehe, if he said that he didn't find any news about the Devil's Cult, I would never believe it."

"Then what do you mean... It is true that he seduced the old Hou, and he admitted it? This... Then you let him go and promoted him to Zhongshuling?"

"In the past dynasties, has there ever been a crime called inducing rebellion! How do you ask me to punish him? If Hou Junji really has no rebellion, how can he be tempted? As for Zhenheng, you still think he is That, the young man who came to Beijing alone 13 years ago? Alas! I am old, I shouldn’t ask these words today, I should pretend to be confused.”
