"This thing was made by that strange man in my Zhuangzi!"
Now that this old guy had discovered everything, Li Xiaogong could only reply generously.
"I heard that the county prince is still transporting wood to the village in the past two days!"
Cheng Zhijie happily drank a bowl of juice, "The prince would still enjoy it, this fruit juice tastes good!"
"Such a set of sofas shouldn't even need a load of lumber!"
On the side, Fang Xuanling followed.
Li Xiaogong's eyelids jumped when he heard this. He couldn't tell the thoughts of these three people and said directly: "Okay, you don't have to talk about these sofas with me. Those sofas made of wood have already been ordered by His Majesty!
"
"How did your Majesty find out?"
"That's right, why is the prince like this? We are also a duke after all, so we can still afford these sofas!"
Cheng Zhijie and Du Ruhui looked at each other and said hurriedly.
"Although the Li Family Village was given to me by Your Majesty, now, the Village is actually taken over by Your Majesty!"
Li Xiaogong said helplessly, knowing that if he didn't tell the truth, these old guys wouldn't let him go.
After listening, Cheng Zhijie and Du Ruhui had a flash of understanding in their eyes.
"No wonder, my kid even walked outside the village and was stopped from entering!"
"Prince, can't you really make a set of this sofa for me?"
"This matter must be approved by His Majesty before the sofa can be shipped out!" Li Xiaogong said.
"There are still things that have not been settled at home, so I will leave first!"
After hearing this, Cheng Zhijie's eyes flashed, and he bowed his hands to Li Xiaogong and said goodbye.
"Prince, I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I'll leave first!"
Fang Xuanling also followed closely behind.
"Prince, I also say goodbye!"
Seeing these two people leaving in a hurry, Du Ruhui's face changed slightly when he thought of something, and he hurriedly left.
"call……"
After seeing these three people off, Li Xiaogong took a long breath.
Immediately, he hurriedly shouted: "Li An, thank you behind closed doors! I haven't seen anyone in the past few days!"
"yes!"
…
"Mr. Su Guo, haven't you returned home? Why are you here?"
Outside Tai Chi Palace, Fang Xuanling looked at the person in front of him with a look of surprise.
"Lao Cheng was walking on the road and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen your majesty for a long time. Suddenly he missed his majesty, so he diverted to the palace. Who is Wei Guogong?"
When he met Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie's expression also changed, but then he laughed.
"Hey, Duke Cai Guo is here too!"
Suddenly, seeing Du Ruhui hurriedly catching up from a distance, Cheng Zhijie's face became even brighter.
"I have met Duke Su and Duke Wei!"
After catching up, Du Ruhui greeted him with a normal expression.
"Hey, since you two are here, let's meet His Majesty together!"
Among the three, Cheng Zhijie was the thickest and started to speak directly.
"So, very good!"
With that said, the three of them walked quickly towards Tai Chi Palace in unison.
…
After a while.
Inside Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin looked helplessly at the three close ministers below.
"I wonder how many of you are so anxious to see me, but what's the important matter?"
"Back to the Emperor, Lao Cheng went to the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County. After coming out, he suddenly missed His Majesty. Then, his legs seemed not to obey Lao Cheng's orders. When Lao Cheng came to his senses, he found that he
Already outside the palace gate!"
Cheng Zhijie grinned widely, his mouth full of touching words, and his eyes showed deep affection. If he hadn't known Cheng Zhijie's intention, Li Shimin would have almost believed it.
On the side, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui twitched at the corners of their mouths.
Unexpectedly, the older the official, the thicker Cheng Zhijie's face became.
Above, Li Shimin ignored Cheng Zhijie and turned to look at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
"I wonder who the Duke of Wei and Duke Cai are?"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were stunned for a moment, and then replied together: "Back to the emperor, I also miss your majesty very much!"
Forehead!
Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie were both stunned and dumbfounded.
It's so shameless and insulting to all gentlemen!
After standing blankly for a while, Li Shimin said leisurely: "Well, I would like to thank you three for visiting me."
"However, since the three of you have finished visiting, please leave if you have nothing to do!"
At this moment, Cheng Zhijie and Fang Xuanling's eyes were stunned, and their expressions fell into a dull state.
Your Majesty has also changed!
"Your Majesty, Lao Cheng still has something to report!"
With a roll of his eyes, Cheng Zhijie said quickly.
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin said with a gentle face.
"Your Majesty, I have discovered that with the increasing number of government affairs, Lao Cheng's legs and waist are becoming more and more difficult to use. In fact, he often suffers from back pain after sitting down for a while, and his legs feel like needles. It hurts. I only have to deal with the military affairs of Lu, Rong and Rong three states in one day, and I am already extremely tired and in severe pain."
"And Cai Guogong and Wei Guogong, as civil servants of the DPRK, must be even more exhausted. A few days ago, I kept listening to Cai Guogong complaining about backache. I guess he won't be able to endure it for a few more years, and he will be like old man Pei every other day. In two days, the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Office will need to give me some acupuncture and massage before I can continue to go to court and handle official business!"
The more he spoke, the angrier Cheng Zhijie's expression became, "Old Cheng has been worried about the waist and legs of our ministers in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. No, I just heard that a set of sofas made by strange people appeared in the prince's palace in Hejian County. Things are very wonderful.
Even if Cai Guogong sits on it all day, he will not feel pain in his waist or legs. For this reason, Lao Cheng even took Cai Guogong to the Hejian County Prince's Mansion to experience it, and the effect is definitely better than any panacea."
"It's just that what makes Old Cheng sad is that the Prince of Hejian County only cares about his own enjoyment now. No matter how much money I, Old Cheng and Cai Guogong spend, the Prince of Hejian County will not let go!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision. Lao Cheng really wants to give Cai Guogong and Wei Guogong one piece each of these wonderful sofas!"
As he spoke, Cheng Zhijie burst into tears and was filled with indignation. He looked at Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others with shocked expressions.
But, soon.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui reacted immediately.
"Your Majesty, I have been dealing with government affairs all day long. I have been bending down for a long time, and my waist bones have indeed been strained..."
The more aggrieved you are, the more aggrieved you are.
Seeing this, Li Shimin almost couldn't swallow his breath.
He pointed at Cheng Zhijie and said angrily: "Okay, okay! You Cheng Sanaxe, stop acting, don't lead my Cai Guogong and Wei Guogong into trouble!"
"The sofa in Prince Hejian's Mansion was indeed produced by the craftsmen who will serve as supervisors!"
"Hehe, Your Majesty still knows me, Old Cheng, best!"
After hearing this, Cheng Zhijie's face quickly turned happy, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that sofa is indeed a good item. It can prevent many ministers from waist and leg diseases!"
"I know this too!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin also looked solemn.
"It's just that these sofas were made by a strange man. I only asked him to make them for me and Prince Hejian."
"Your Majesty, please speak to that strange man about this matter again!" Cheng Zhijie quickly raised his hands.
"When I have some free time tomorrow, I will go find the young master again!"
