Datang: My Cells Are Too Competitive and Can Automatically Upgrade

Cheng Yi sneered, and looked directly at Li Xiaogong with contempt in his eyes.

"you--"

"enough!"

Just when Li Xiaogong was about to say something, an angry shout interrupted his words.

Li Xiaogong looked back and saw Li Shimin glaring at him.

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly knelt down again.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I didn't intend to lose my composure."

Li Xiaogong hurriedly pleaded guilty to Li Shimin.

Seeing his arrogant and condescending appearance, Cheng Yi's ridicule finally had a sound.

"You still think how hard your bones are, but it turns out that's nothing more than that."

Hearing Cheng Yi's words, although Li Xiaogong wanted to continue to refute, but he, who was facing Li Shimin's overwhelming anger, dared not say a single word no matter what.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Just when Li Shimin was burning with anger, an abnormally calm voice suddenly sounded in the hall again.

Li Shimin frowned in displeasure, thinking that someone would jump out to make things difficult for Cheng Yi.

But when he turned his head to look, he saw Changsun Wuji Shi Shi ran out of the queue and stood beside Cheng Yi.

Seeing Changsun Wuji's calm eyes as always, Li Shimin finally calmed down a bit.

"The auxiliary machine has nothing to say, but it doesn't matter."

Li Shimin tried to speak in one breath.

Changsun Wuji bowed to Li Shimin, and said slowly: "Although I am a civil servant now, but back then, I followed His Majesty in the north and south."

As soon as he said this, even many people in the palace recalled the glorious years back then.

"Although I have been away from the battlefield for many years, I still remember that I was as jealous as General Cheng. It's a pity..."

At the end, Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and shook his head.

No one knew what he was thinking at this time, but those who saw his wry smile felt sad along with him for no reason.

"My lords!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly raised his voice, and all the officials in the palace were cheered up.

Then, he turned around slowly, and his sharp gaze swept over those courtiers who were once like him and born with Li Shimin.

"Have you all forgotten!"

Changsun Wuji's words were sonorous, and his heavy voice echoed in the hall for a long time.

Hearing his questioning, all the ministers who let his eyes stop for a short time were all terrified.

Of course they haven't forgotten.

I haven't forgotten the blood boiling when I was fighting in all directions, and I haven't forgotten the uncontrollable anger in my heart after seeing innocent people killed by the enemy.

Chapter 41

"His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji looked back at Li Shimin again.

"Although I don't know what happened in those three battles, I know that anyone who loves the people like a son will not be a mad person who will wantonly slaughter the people of the enemy country."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji bowed to Li Shimin, and retreated to his seat.

"Your Majesty! I believe in General Cheng!"

"Your Majesty! I also believe it!"

"And the minister! The minister also believes in General Cheng!"

All of a sudden, those courtiers whose memories were awakened by Changsun Wuji began to stand at Cheng Yi's side one after another.

At this time, Cheng Yi was looking at Changsun Wuji thoughtfully.

If he remembered correctly, Changsun Wuji was still a little bit hostile to him when he was on the bank of the Weishui River, so why is he able to speak up for him today?

Could it be because Changsun Chong joined the Shence Army?

Cheng Yiwu denied this conjecture, he didn't think Changsun Wuji would be such an emotional person.

For a while, the people who played Cheng Yi were at a disadvantage because of this.

Seeing the complete reversal of the situation in the court, Li Xiaogong, who was still kneeling on the ground, was pissed off to death by the grandson Wuji who stepped in.

If Changsun Wuji hadn't been troublesome, he would have been able to deal with Cheng Yi today with Li Shimin!

"Li Xiaogong, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Shimin looked down at Li Xiaogong, no one could see the expression in his eyes clearly.

Li Xiaogong knelt on the ground, speechless for a while.

As for those who followed him out, they were already trembling with fear.

They never imagined that such a reversal would happen in the end when the result was almost certain.

No matter Li Xiaogong or them, they all put this account on Changsun Wuji's head.

However, they have been wrong from the very beginning. No matter whether Changsun Wuji can speak or not today, Li Shimin will not do what they wish.

Li Shimin waited patiently for a while, until he was sure that Li Xiaogong would not speak again.

"Come on!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, the forbidden army guarding outside the Hall of Liangyi had already entered the hall.

"Take Li Xiaogong and these other people away."

Li Shimin said lightly.

"Yes!"

In the midst of crying, the forbidden army dragged the ministers who were kneeling on the hall and left the hall of Liangyi.

After a long time, the shouts of those people finally dissipated in the Hall of Liangyi.

Because Li Xiaogong is now the minister of the Ministry of Rites, most of the people who followed him to play Cheng Yi today were officials from the Ministry of Rites.

After such a thing happened, it is naturally impossible for Li Shimin to continue to let Li Xiaogong be the minister of the Ministry of Rites. As for the candidate for the new minister of the Ministry of Rites, he has to carefully consider it.

After going to court, Kuang Shulai dragged Cheng Yi to Wei Zheng's side.

"How? Wei Xuancheng? Am I right?"

Kuang Shulai looked at Wei Zheng triumphantly.

Wei Zheng sighed helplessly, and his eyes on Cheng Yi became more and more complicated.

"I'm willing to bet and admit defeat."

Wei Zhengdao.

Kuang Shulai lightly bumped Cheng Yi with his shoulder: "Brother Cheng, we are lucky today!"

Although Cheng Yi didn't understand what kind of charades these two were playing, he didn't say much, and just let Kuang Shulai drag him out of the palace.

Behind them was Wei Zheng who kept checking his purse.

As an upright official with cleaner pockets than his face, Wei Zheng was very worried about whether he would be able to walk out of Fenglai Tower today.

Oh, this Fenglai Tower is currently the most expensive restaurant in Chang'an City.

Afterwards, because Cheng Yi was going to the General's Mansion to take a bath and change clothes to rest, the three of them went to the General's Mansion together. They didn't leave the General's Mansion for Fenglai Tower until the lights came on at night.

During the dinner, Cheng Yi learned about the bet between the two of them about himself from Kuang Shulai.

"Doctor Wei," Cheng Yi looked at Wei Zheng amusedly, "How can you not believe me? You're at a disadvantage now, right?"

Wei Zheng still had a serious look on his face: "In the future, I will definitely never bet with him again."

Cheng Yi and Kuang Shulai couldn't help laughing when Wei Zheng, who had always been serious, said such a thing.

Seeing the two smiling openly, Wei Zheng finally had a little smile on his face.

After drinking and eating, the three of them bid farewell to each other outside the restaurant and went back to their homes because it was almost time for the curfew.

……

The next day.

Cheng Yi, who had a good night's sleep, slept until the sun was high before barely waking up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a report from a servant in the mansion, saying that Changsun Wuji had come to ask to see him.

"Eldest grandson Situ is here?"

Cheng Yi woke up and checked again.

"Yes."

The servants outside the door returned.

Hearing this, Cheng Yi simply washed and changed his clothes, and then went to the front hall,

"Situ has been waiting for a long time."

Cheng Yi quickly went to the front hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji sitting in the hall with a straight back.

Hearing Cheng Yi's voice, Changsun Wuji turned his head and looked straight at him.

"General Cheng."

Changsun Wuji got up and cupped his hands towards Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi smiled back and the two sat down.

"General Cheng."

Before Cheng Yi could ask again, Changsun Wuji had already asked.
