1181. Simo Face Saint

The Taiji Palace at night is solemn, the imperial city is still brightly lit, the officials of the three provinces, six departments, five temples and nine prisons are still busy even at night, Shi Simo walks on the wide palace aisle with the sword on his waist, the cool summer breeze blows, Shi Simo is quite anxious in his heart.

As soon as he thought of that bastard, Shi Simo just wanted to curse, stupid, and put the safety of millions of people at risk, it was simply stupid.

While he was on his patrol, suddenly, an attendant hurriedly came over, "General Shi, Your Majesty has sent you to see you immediately."

Shi Simo sighed in his heart, looked in the direction of the Ganlu Palace, and walked quickly.

"General Shi, please take off the sword", at the door of the Ganlu Palace, Li Junxian's eyes were shining, and he woke up Shi Simo, who had lost his mind, and stretched out his finger to remind Shi Simo of the sword on his waist.

Shi Simo was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't be seen by the armor without consent, so he immediately raised his hand and handed the sword at his waist to Li Junxian.

Just as he was about to raise his legs, Li Jun said enviously: "Is there anything else?" A pair of calm black eyes looked Shi Simo up and down in the night, but he didn't save face at all.

Shi Simo was stunned, his face stiff. A few days ago, he was still talking and laughing, but now he is a little suspicious of him, he is also a guard of the forbidden palace, Li Junxian actually doubts that he will carry a sword to assassinate His Majesty, Shi Simo shook his head and smiled, laughing a little pale, took off his helmet, buckled his belt, took off his armor, and only wore a robe inside.

The summer night breeze was quite strong, and Shi Simo wore a white half-arm robe and tunic trousers, which were very close-fitting clothes to line his figure clearly, and it was obvious that there was no place to hide weapons.

Li Junxian arched his hand, "The rules are limited, General Shi is not to blame."

Shi Simo smiled, Li Junxian still called him General Simo a few days ago.

In the empty hall, Li Shimin sat in the first place, and Li Pojun sat on the side.

The light in the hall was not bright, only the fire candles on both sides of the emperor's dragon case were swaying with flames that were no more than an inch long, casting the emperor's figure on the screen behind it, like a huge mountain, very oppressive.

Shi Simo stepped forward in a trance and bowed to the ground, he didn't dare to raise his head, he didn't dare to look at the emperor's eyes, opened his mouth, and finally closed his eyes and said: "Minister Shi Simo has seen His Majesty and seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

After a long time, Li Shimin did not respond, Shi Simo's heart sank to the bottom, and he could only hear someone laughing above his head: "General Simo, please get up."

This is not the voice of the emperor, but Shi Simo is also very familiar with it, this is the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince,

"Your Highness Xie" Simo replied respectfully, but he didn't get up, because Li Shimin didn't speak.

"Let's think about it", Li Shimin looked at Shi Simo for a long time, and his eyes were also very complicated, "This morning, Ashina and others led a rebellion in an attempt to assassinate the prince, do you know about this?" ”

Shi Simo's throat rolled, still prostrate on the ground, the word "know" couldn't be said, because he didn't have the face to say, because he knew that Ashina's association was going to plot misdeeds and didn't expose it, Shi Simo deeply felt that he had become an ungrateful wolf-hearted dog.

"Simo, I trust you immensely, and now I ask you, have you been involved?" Li Shimin's voice was very gentle, and he couldn't hear a trace of joy and anger.

However, this calm tone made Simo's heart very uncomfortable, like a knife cut, His Majesty the Emperor actually doubted me...... Simo only felt extremely depressed in his heart, the summer manna hall, the cool breeze, Simo only felt colder than the ice and snow on the grassland.

"The minister did not participate, but the minister was guilty of capital crimes", finally, Shi Simo vomited the depression in his chest and replied loudly.

Li Shimin frowned, did not speak, and threw down the booklet in his hand, "Look what your brother said."

Shi Simo picked up the booklet and opened it, his face was flushed, his chest rose and fell, and he bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of rebellion, Your Majesty is clear."

"Hehe, General Simo is serious, Aya believes in the general, but Ashina's confession is here, I have to ask, I want you to explain it in person when I call the general now." Li Shimin oppressed him with a black face, and Li Pojun was accompanied by a red face and said comfortably.

Hearing Li Pojun's words, Shi Simo slowly adjusted his breathing, put away his anger at the association rate, and narrated: "The night three days ago, Ashina Association Rate came to me to ......."

and the pan confessed, there was no trace of concealment, and the conversation between the two did not change at all, from the late-night visit of Ashina's association rate, to the argument between the two brothers, to the cutting of his finger and changing his surname, and then to concealing it and not reporting it...... He even said that he patrolled the defense in the palace day and night, strengthened the guards, and didn't give Ashina a chance to form an association.

Try his best to explain his position and situation in the whole incident, and not be able to leave the impression that His Majesty the Emperor has deceived him a little, Shi Simo does not want to shirk any responsibility now, and also considers his own charges and fate.

Shi Simo also knew that like him, who knew that someone was plotting rebellion but concealed it and did not report it, no matter where it was placed, it was a grave crime that would lead to a dead end, and the only thing Shi Simo wanted to do was to hope that His Majesty the Emperor would believe in him, that he was not such an ungrateful wolf-hearted person, and he wanted His Majesty the Emperor to know that this stupid rebellion was only caused by the despicable selfish desires of Ashina's association and individuals, and that he would not do the business of millions of people, and only hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would not be angry with the millions of people who were leisurely grazing.

While narrating that Shi Simo was becoming more and more unable to control his emotions, and his irrepressible emotions were overflowing, Shi Simo couldn't wait to open his heart to show His Majesty the Emperor, this heart was still red, not black, and he couldn't wait to cut that stupid and despicable guy with Ashina's association with a thousand knives.

After the narration, Shi Simo leaned down and bowed again, deeply unbearable, a majestic and tall man was actually with tears in his eyes at this time, this is tears of remorse, if the time goes back to three days ago, if he knew that this was the case, even if he would not kill the association rate, Shi Simo would also imprison it, and do his best to stop this stupid chaos, but it was too late, the association rate swung the scimitar at His Royal Highness the Emperor's favorite prince, everything was already too late, Shi Simo fell to the ground and wept bitterly, choked up, waiting for the execution of His Majesty the Emperor.

The cool breeze in the empty hall, the candle flame flickering, silent, and the shadow on the ground was also fluttering, Shi Simo only felt that he had just settled down in life, and then thought that the shadow had always been unstable.

Li Shimin's father and son glanced at each other, Li Pojun nodded slightly, Li Shimin also smiled, smiled very relieved, and seemed to be relieved.

Li Shimin got up and sat down, his footsteps were very soft, but it was very obvious in the silent hall, a pair of big hands were on Simo's shoulders, and Simo's whole body tightened.

"My general Zuohou Wei, when he is a mighty warrior, how can he sobble like a woman", a gentle voice came, and Simo looked up in shock, only to see Li Shimin looking at him with a warm smile.
