On the roaring flag, there was a huge Tang character embroidered, and a strong army was getting closer and closer with the sound of deafening iron hooves.

The defenders on the city wall were extremely nervous because such a large army actually set up a formation of arrows and rushed over, looking like they were about to attack the city. They did not let go until the visitor got closer. The general was the saint's confidant Cheng Zhijie, and this army was naturally the saint's personal army, flying cavalry.

"Open the door!"

When the saint came back, the goalkeeper naturally opened the door quickly. According to the etiquette system, the emperor should have paved the road, sprinkled water to welcome him, and made full etiquette. How could he come back suddenly for no reason? No one informed him, and seeing this anxious attitude, it was like he was going to attack the city.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie nodded, then rode his horse back and said to Li Shimin: "Go back to the saint, everything in the city is as usual, and the door has already opened."

"Haha, it's true that Zhenheng, the little bastard, had known that Hou Junji was going to rebel, let's go, go into the city, and go to see his old friend for the last time."

On the other side, in the palace, before the blood on the steps had been cleaned up, they heard the news that Li Shimin suddenly returned to the palace. Everyone was overjoyed. Li Chengqian led him out of the palace to greet him. Although Li Shimin was almost at the gate of the palace by the time they went out, it was not the case?

Before, Hou Junji had been swearing that Li Shimin had already died. Although they didn't believe it, no one was worried. Now that Li Shimin is back safely, everyone's hearts can naturally be put into their stomachs.

After getting off the car, Li Shimin first learned about the whole story with Fang Xuanling, but didn't say anything, and went straight back to Zichen Hall. Just when all the ministers were all confused, the palace had an order to send Qin Hao to Zichen Hall alone to meet him.

Qin Hao thought to himself that this big incident would inevitably lead to his first achievement, and it would be normal to see him first. Without thinking too much, he went there.

As a result, Qin Hao became a little stupid as soon as he entered the palace.

I saw the warriors in the palace, with bright armor, and each of them was holding bright weapons in their hands. A row of murderous scenes. Cheng Yaojin stood in his head with a pole of Ma Shuo in his hand. Seeing Qin Hao coming in, he waved his hand and the gate of Zichen Palace was closed.

This scene was so shocking. Qin Hao was so scared that he knelt on the ground with a thud. The key was that he was confused. What was the meaning?

Li Shimin's voice came from behind the curtain, but he did not lift the curtain.

"Zhengheng."

"I'm here."

"Do you know your guilt?"

Qin Hao was covered in cold sweat and wet his clothes, but he had to say in a panic: "I would like to ask the emperor to make it clear that I... I really don't know where the crime is."

"I wonder? I ask you, Hou Junji is against you, but you tempted him?"

Qin Hao was bitter in his mouth. He could not admit such words no matter how he could only defend himself: "I am afraid, I am really frightened. Master, you know me. Even if I borrowed the courage from God, I would not dare to do such a thing. Besides, what kind of virtue can I be able to seduce Hou Junji?"

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

"The Master of the Concubines, I did notice some clues before, but firstly there is no evidence. If the gap between me and Hou Junji is rashly reported, no one will believe it. Secondly, I don't believe it too much. Hou Junji really has such courage, so I didn't say it."

With a blink of an eye, the curtain was pulled open by Li Shimin. Li Shimin walked up and kicked Qin Hao, and said angrily: "Clues? How dare you argue with me now? I ask you, is it your credit for the Demon Cult this time with Hou Jun? To be honest! Why do you think I am not dead?"

Qin Hao felt a little panicked. Could it be that Li Shimin really noticed something?

However, Qin Hao still gritted his teeth and said, "No, the Lord, I have an irreconcilable hatred with the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect's demon almost took my life twice. How could I have anything to do with the Demon Sect?"

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, okay, you have a hard mouth. Do you know why I am not dead?"

"The Lord is very blessed and the heavens. Hou Jun gathers a little assassin's way, so naturally he cannot hurt the Lord at all."

"No, the Demon Cult has prepared very well this time. If I hadn't noticed it in advance and made a plan on purpose, I was dead now, and you don't have to guess. They colluded with Li Junxian, just a method of internal and external cooperation. I know that the Demon Cult is a big problem, and I guessed that they would collude with important officials and deliberately created this opportunity for them. I just wanted to take the opportunity to catch them all in one place, because I really don't know who they colluded with, so I didn't tell you."

Qin Hao was secretly scared and thought to himself that in addition to this, he might have the purpose of testing the ministers and the prince.

"I didn't expect that this person would be Hou Junji. I was also very sad. But I actually gained unexpectedly this time! Qin! Zhen! Heng! I ask you, how did you notice Hou Junji's abnormal movement? Why didn't others look for the demon demons in the Demon Sect, but they just came to Hou Junji who has a grudge against you! Answer me, good answer, you will be the new Zhongshu Ling tomorrow. If you can't answer, I will kill you now!"

Qin Hao naturally had a set of rhetoric that had been compiled long ago, which was nothing more than detecting the abnormal movements of the Demon Sect first, and then checking Hou Junji through the Demon Sect. But at this time, he didn't dare to say that Li Shimin's understanding of the Demon Sect seemed to be far beyond his imagination. He could use such a trick, and he might not have fooled him.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao slowly took off his black veil, with tears in his eyes, and said in grief: "I know that Hou Junji and Your Majesty had been in the same ranks as brothers and sisters back then. I had known that he would rebel, but I had not responded for a long time. I did have the selfish intention of using this to eliminate a strong enemy. But I asked myself, after following the priest for 13 years, I would do my best to do anything unfaithful and unrighteous. If the priest wants to kill, I will kill me."

Li Shimin looked at Qin Hao kneeling on the ground and was speechless for a long time. After sighing for a long time, he said, "Oh, get up, it's me, I've lost my composure for a while. You go. Xuanling is already old and has repeatedly proposed to me to give up the post of Zhongshu Ling. However, you have a little less experienced before. From tomorrow, you will take office officially."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

…………

It was not until Qin Hao withdrew from Zichen Hall that Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion: "Master, this kid... said nothing 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 and said nothing, that is, I said everything. Hou Junji was indeed the one who lured him to rebel. The devil's affairs started in the southwest. Poor that Hou Junji had been in the southwest for so long, but now there are people from the Qing Gang on the business road. Haha, I would never believe it if he didn't find any news about the devil's sect."

"Then what you mean is... it was indeed because he tempted Lao Hou against him, and he even admitted it?... then did you let him go and promoted him to the Zhongshu Ling?"
