After the monarch and his ministers spoke a few more words, Cheng Yi bid farewell to the worried Li Shimin and returned to the palace.
When he came out of the palace, the snow was already much lighter.
The entire Chang'an Avenue was covered with thick snow, and the usually crowded street became deserted at this moment.
Cheng Yi took one step at a time, leaving a series of black footprints on the pure white snow.
When he returned to the palace, Li Lizhi was drowsy in the warm pavilion.
Suddenly, several snowflakes were carried by the cold wind and poured in from the gap where the door was opened. Li Lizhi, who was dozing off, was blown all over the face by the cold wind, and woke up immediately.
"Husband, you are back."
Li Lizhi rubbed her cheeks, got up from the low couch, and walked to Cheng Yi's side.
"What happened?"
She asked as she picked up the fox fur that Cheng Yi handed over and put it next to the stove to bake.
Cheng Yi focused on telling Li Lizhi the matter.
Although it was only a few words, Li Lizhi could already think of how critical the situation in Tubo was.
"Is it time to go out again?"
Tubo is close to the Tang Dynasty and has a strong army. Now it is a world of ice and snow. If Tubo really sends troops, I am afraid that the border soldiers will be difficult to resist.
Cheng Yi looked deeply at Li Lizhi, and then nodded slightly after a while.
Seeing this, Li Lizhi chuckled and leaned into Cheng Yi's arms.
"Look, husband, I'm used to it."
The two had been married for less than a year, but Li Lizhi was already used to Cheng Yi's going out at any time.
"This is our first year of marriage."
Cheng Yi hugged Li Lizhi tightly, he looked down at his wife in his arms, and said guiltily.
Li Lizhi stroked Cheng Yi's cold cheek with one hand, and said softly, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Cheng Yi sighed deeply, and tightened his grip on Li Lizhi.
Feeling the reluctance from her husband, the corners of Li Lizhi's mouth curled up in satisfaction.
"when are we leaving?"
she asked.
Cheng Yi pondered for a while, then replied, "About five days later."
Li Lizhi straightened up suddenly, and looked at Cheng Yi slyly: "Then these five days, you can't go anywhere, you have to stay with me in the mansion!"
"it is good!"
Cheng Yi agreed with a smile.
Chapter 184 Give You a Favor
Apart from going to the Shence Army camp to arrange some things that day, Cheng Yi did as he promised Li Lizhi in the next few days, watching the snow, the stars and the moon with her at home every day.
It's a pity, but it seems that there are always people who can't see Cheng Yi being so leisurely.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, Li Feng and Shen Zihe rushed over with angry faces, completely breaking Cheng Yi and Li Lizhi's peaceful time.
"what happened?"
Seeing that even Shen Zihe, who seldom got angry, looked unhappy, Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows and asked.
"My lord, the household department said that it's the end of the new year, and they can't produce the food and grass we want!"
Li Feng burned with anger.
"Can't get the food and grass?"
Cheng Yi frowned, and found the memory of Hubu Shangshu from the depths of his memory.
Seeing that Li Feng was so angry that he shut himself up, Shen Zihe had no choice but to speak.
"My subordinates and Li Feng went to the household department to urge them on the first day, and the head of the household department promised well that the food and grass will be ready in three days."
Speaking of this, Shen Zihe's face became more and more ugly.
"But when the two of my subordinates go again today, the Secretary of the Household Department not only shirks that there is no food and fodder, so as to ask for benefits from his subordinates, but also mutters that our Shence Army deliberately troubles their Household Department!"
Tobe Minister...
Cheng Yi rubbed his chin and sneered.
What a fool who can't tell priorities!
"Come on, follow me to the household department."
After saying that, Cheng Yi stood up and led Li Feng and Shen Zi out of the palace.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Yamen of the Household Department.
"king--"
Outside the yamen of the household department, a yamen servant was about to go up to salute Cheng Yi, but Cheng Yi kicked him into the yamen.
"Bang!!!"
With a loud bang, the servant fell heavily on the ground.
There was a sudden chaos in the government office.
"Who is presumptuous!"
Hubu Shangshu ran out with beard blowing and staring.
Seeing that it was Cheng Yi, Shangshu Hubu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly changed his face.
"So it's King Shengming—"
However, before he could say any compliments, the pitch-black Hongming Saber was already on his neck.
"I heard that the Ministry of Households has no surplus food, so I have to come and see for myself."
While speaking, Cheng Yi approached step by step.
Hubu Shangshu almost peed his pants in fright. In order not to die, he could only support his trembling legs and step back step by step.
The sudden change frightened everyone in the government office and did not dare to speak out.
"Holy, Holy King Ming! This official, this official is the official of the imperial court! You, how dare you!"
From the corner of his eye, he saw the faces of the people in the yamen, and the Minister of the Household Department reprimanded them with a strong breath.
"The imperial order?"
Cheng Yi's eyes showed sarcasm.
"A guy like you deserves to call himself an official of the imperial court?"
Thinking about it, Cheng Yi hadn't shown his talents in Chang'an City for a long time, which made many people forget how powerful he was before.
Seeing the murderous look in Cheng Yi's eyes, Minister of the Household Department couldn't help but his legs went limp. If he hadn't been leaning on the desk behind him, he might have already slumped on the ground by now.
The Hubu Shangshu recognized the saber in Cheng Yi's hand, and His Majesty bestowed the Hongming saber, which can be used to kill the faint king and the courtiers.
He absolutely does not want to be the ghost of this demon sword!
"Is there any food left?"
Cheng Yi spoke suddenly.
Just as Shangshu Hubu was about to nod, he felt a chill in his neck and stopped immediately.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said.
"Just now I said that if there is no benefit, there will be no food and grass. Why do you have it now? Are you a dog official playing tricks on me?!"
Li Feng, who endured for a while, finally broke out.
Previously, the Hubu Shangshu just looked at Li Feng and Shen Zihe's low grades, so he lost his sense of proportion, thinking that he could handle each other, but Li Feng and Shen Zihe not only ignored him, but turned their heads and turned Cheng Yi Called!
Tobe Shangshu is regretting it now!
"benefit?"
Cheng Yi looked at Shangshu Hubu with a sneer.
"I don't know what benefits Liu Shangshu wants?"
Hubu Shangshu hurriedly waved his hands, even though it was the twelfth lunar month, he was still covered in cold sweat from the fright.
Seeing that the Hubu Shangshu was silent, Cheng Yi chuckled suddenly.
"Speaking of which, it's really good for me to be here."
A word fell, followed by a flash of cold light.
In the future, Hubu Shangshu, who had time to continue to defend himself, fell heavily in a pool of blood.
Everyone in the government office was frightened and fell silent.
They have been officials for many years, and this is the first time they have seen someone dare to beat and kill an imperial official in the yamen in broad daylight!
"How long will the food and grass be ready?"
Glancing at the hubu yamen, which was completely silent, Cheng Yi wiped the Hongming knife and asked without raising his eyelids.
"Horse, right now! It will be ready right away!"
Hubu Shangshu is dead, and the servant of Hubu, who is afraid of following in his footsteps, replied in fear.
"Anyone who dares to delay the military aircraft will not be pardoned!"
After saying these words, Cheng Yi simply turned around and left.
It wasn't until Cheng Yi's figure completely disappeared that the officials of the household department finally breathed a sigh of relief.
