Cheng Yi said loudly.

"This is what I should do!"

The eyes of all the people were red, and the joy of the rest of the life made everyone unable to hold back their tears.

Afterwards, Cheng Yi stayed in Hezhou City for another whole month. After everything in Hezhou City was back on track, he led the Shence Army back to Beijing.

Outside the city gate of Hezhou, the new officials and city guards couldn't help being surprised to see the common people reluctantly bid farewell to the Shence Army and Cheng Yi patiently talking to the common people.

After all, in their opinion, a person in a high position like Cheng Yi should not be so approachable no matter what.

It wasn't until Cheng Yi and the Shence Army completely disappeared on the horizon, and the people who had been watching them at the gate of the city, finally returned to the city with a sigh.

It was not until this time that the new officials and city guards finally understood.

Why did Cheng Yi achieve so much at such a young age?

……

Chang'an City, Daming Palace.

Li Shimin, who learned that Cheng Yi had returned to Beijing this morning and would come to the early court, happily walked into the Hall of Liangyi.

However, as soon as he took his seat on his dragon chair, he faintly sensed that the atmosphere in the Hall of Liangyi today seemed a bit out of place.

"Your Majesty! I have something to announce!"

Before Li Shimin could figure out what happened, a figure suddenly walked out of the queue and knelt straight in the center of the hall.

Li Shimin looked intently, and immediately saw who this person was.

"Prince Hejian, what do you have to say?"

Li Shimin looked at the people kneeling in the hall with heavy eyes, no joy or anger appeared on his face.

"Report to Your Majesty, I want to join the General of the Kingdom, Cheng Yi!"

As soon as Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, said this, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar.

For a moment, I don't know how many people's eyes fell on Cheng Yi, who had just returned from a big victory, intentionally or unintentionally.

Cheng Yi didn't care much about the seemingly absent eyes around him, and still stood calmly in his position.

Li Shimin's eyes dimmed a bit, although he already knew that Mu Xiuyu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, but he never thought that the first person to jump out would be Li Xiaogong.

Li Shimin couldn't help but glanced at Cheng Yi, and after finding that Cheng Yi didn't feel anything unusual, he slowly relaxed.

"Come on."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Li Xiaogong who was kneeling on the ground straightened his back upon hearing this.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, in the previous three battles against Xue Yantuo, Huihe, and this time Tuyuhun, the general of the Fuguo State, Cheng Yi, slaughtered these three places successively without asking for an order, causing people to die!"

Li Xiaogong's voice echoed in the Hall of Liangyi over and over again.

"I think that Cheng Yi is so cruel and cruel, it really hurts my Tang prestige!"

As he spoke, Li Xiaogong raised his eyes and looked at Li Shimin who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to deal with Cheng Yi!"

After saying that, Li Xiaogong bent down deeply and touched his forehead to the ground.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister seconded the proposal! Please issue an order to deal with Cheng Yi! Set the record straight!"

Immediately, several ministers came out and knelt down in the hall.

Chapter 40 Have you all forgotten!

For a moment, the other ministers who were still standing in the Liangyi Hall all stared at the kneeling people in the hall with dumbfounded expressions.

Looking at the situation in the hall, Wei Zheng couldn't help but look at Cheng Yi and Kuang Shulai, but he saw that the two of them looked like they had nothing to do with him.

Especially Cheng Yi, he even yawned lazily!

It looked like he was drowsy.

Wei Zheng was speechless immediately, and felt like a fool for worrying about Cheng Yi.

"To set the record straight?"

Li Shimin looked at the few courtiers kneeling in the hall, and couldn't help laughing out of anger.

"According to what you said, if I don't deal with Cheng Yi today, it means that I will care nothing about right and wrong and fail to distinguish between right and wrong?"

"Your Majesty's lesson! The ministers have no such intentions!"

Although those ministers said such words, they stubbornly knelt on the ground, but they had already expressed their attitude to everyone.

Li Shimin's eyes turned around those ministers, and finally landed on Li Xiaogong again.

"Cheng Yi has just returned to Chang'an City today, and even I don't know the details of the Tuyuhun battle, but the Hejian County King is well informed."

Li Shimin said blankly.

Li Xiaogong, who touched the ground with his forehead, suddenly thumped in his heart.

"I don't know, where did the King of Hejian know that Cheng Yi had massacred Xue Yantuo, Huihe and Tuyuhun?"

Facing Li Shimin's imperial coercion, a layer of cold sweat oozed from Li Xiaogong's forehead.

Seeing that Li Xiaogong didn't speak for a while, Li Shimin didn't bother to continue arguing with him.

"Cheng Qing, do you have something to say?"

Obviously, when Li Shimin spoke to Cheng Yi again, his voice became gentler and calmer.

Hearing Li Shimin calling him, Cheng Yi yawned again and walked out of the queue.

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister does not recognize it."

Cheng Yi said the last three words very loudly.

As soon as his voice fell, a "puchi" laughter resounded in the hall.

Cheng Yi looked suspiciously, and saw that the person who laughed out loud was Cheng Yaojin, who had always been famous for his upright personality.

"deny?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile.

As the gloominess surrounding him dissipated, all the courtiers in the palace felt that their chests, which had been congested, suddenly became much lighter.

"I did kill a lot of people, but all of those people had their hands stained with the blood of the people and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. I asked myself, I couldn't let them go."

Cheng Yi faced Li Shimin and said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaogong, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly straightened up.

"Cheng Yi! How dare you say that you and your Shence Army have never killed an innocent person?"

Li Xiaogong stared at Cheng Yi with red eyes, and asked sharply.

Hearing his question, Cheng Yi seriously thought about it, and finally, he looked directly at Li Xiaogong and shook his head.

"On the first day of the establishment of the Shence Army, this general has already laid down the iron law that no one in the Shence Army should do anything to any innocent people."

Cheng Yi said frankly.

"Then why, when you go out to fight, you never surrender?" Li Xiaogong asked again with a sullen expression.

"Surrender?"

Cheng Yi sneered, and there was a little sarcasm in his previously calm eyes.

"The King of Hejian only knows that this general never surrenders, but why doesn't he think about it, why does this general never surrender?"

After the words fell, the sarcasm in Cheng Yi's eyes became stronger.

"Since Prince Hejian doesn't know, then General Ben will tell you today."

As he said that, Cheng Yi swept away his lazy appearance, followed by a murderous aura flying around.

"Xue Yantuo broke Shuozhou City, abused the people in the city wantonly, and even treated my Tang soldiers as toys for them to play with!"

As Cheng Yi spoke, he recalled all the tragic scenes he had seen back then.

"Huihe destroyed Xinzhou City and slaughtered thousands of people in the city. Not only did we kill all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but also cut off the head of the city squadron and hung it on the gate tower to demonstrate!"

Thinking of Lao Su's blood-stained face, Cheng Yi couldn't help but rage in his chest.

"Tuyuhun smashed through Hezhou, Shaozhou, and Taozhou, and slaughtered more than [-] people. The mountain of corpses piled up in the city is almost higher than the city gate! The defenders of the three cities are not spared!"

After saying this, Cheng Yi walked up to Li Xiaogong step by step, and looked down at him.

"I don't know if the king of the county has ever seen a woman who wants to protect her unborn child even if she dies? Have you ever seen a scene where all the streets in the city are bloody?"

Cheng Yi's murderous aura burst out in every word.

However, what he said was just one or two out of ten that he had seen before.

"Heh, the county king is pampered and pampered in Chang'an City, how can he see these things?"

Cheng Yi said mockingly.

"Cheng Yi!"

Li Xiaogong couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and let out a loud shout.

"how!"

Cheng Yi didn't retreat half a step, and faced Li Xiaogong in the center of the hall.

The entire hall became silent in an instant.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Yi and Li Xiaogong who were confronting each other.

Li Xiaogong's expression became more and more sinister. He really didn't know what Cheng Yi said, and he had never seen it before, but since the matter has reached this point, he has no possibility of retreating.

"If King Hejian had seen those scenes, he wouldn't have questioned the general today, why he never surrendered."
