Chapter 211 Wei Zheng's Furious Reprimand of His Son

Wei Mansion.

Wei Shuyu had just returned home.

Before I even stepped inside, the butler rushed to greet me…

"Oh my, young master, you're finally back."

The butler looked anxious: "Have you gotten into trouble?"

"No."

Wei Shuyu replied naturally.

"The master looked very unwell when he returned home today."

The steward stamped his feet anxiously: "We try to talk to the master, but he won't even acknowledge this old servant."

Um?

Wei Shuyu looked puzzled.

Did someone anger Lao Wei?

Just then, the butler revealed another bombshell...

"The master has brought out the rattan cane."

"According to this old servant's guess, that cane will only be taken out when you are being beaten..."

Holy crap.

Wei Shuyu looked at the steward in shock: "Are you serious?"

"real."

The butler nodded repeatedly: "The master is still sitting in the hall."

"They're probably waiting for you to come home."

Wei Shuyu's lips twitched.

They're definitely going to beat me up.

But what bad thing did I do?

Did he strike the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review?

That shouldn't be the case.

The magistrate arrested Xue Rengui without asking any questions and even concealed the fact that there were thousands of bandits.

Is there a problem with the commercial sector?

That shouldn't be the case either.

There were no problems when I left... If something really goes wrong, Li Chongyi will take the blame.

Wei Shuyu considered many reasons...

He even went over the absurd things that Choi Shin-ki and Fang Yi-ai had done.

None of them were serious enough to warrant a beating.

"Never mind, let's go in and take a look..."

Wei Shuyu straightened his clothes.

Old Wei is in a bad mood, so don't scold me for my inappropriate attire again.

Sneaking stealthily into the hall...

Wei Zheng sat in the head seat of the hall, holding a book and reading quietly.

Hearing the noise, Wei Zheng glanced over.

When she saw it was her son, she slammed the book down on the table!

"You unfilial son, get your head over here!"

Holy crap.

Something's not right... something's not right...

Old Wei's temper is a bit frightening!

Wei Shuyu was tempted to slip away.

Yet he was also curious about what he had done to make Wei Zheng so angry.

He cautiously approached Wei Zheng.

"Dad, have you eaten?"

Wei Shuyu greeted him awkwardly.

*Smack*

Wei Zheng grabbed a rattan cane and slammed it hard onto the table!

Kneel down!

"..."

I kneel to heaven, to earth, and to my parents!

Okay.

Old Wei is the father, so kneeling is fine...

Snap.

Wei Shuyu knelt down decisively.

"Dad, you can scold me and hit me all you want, but please explain clearly what I did wrong..."

at the same time.

Li Shimin sat leisurely in a teahouse near Wei Zheng's house.

State affairs can be ignored.

Old Wei beats up Little Wei, so even if you have to crawl, you have to come and watch the fight!

What made him constipated was that a refined and serious middle-aged official was standing in front of him.

What are you doing here?

Li Shimin retorted irritably.

This guy is even more annoying than Lao Wei.

They won't even change a few words, I'll have your whole family executed sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, I did it to record the article by the young man."

The historian bowed in response.

The article, "The Young Man's Words," is sure to be remembered for all time.

Unlike ordinary poems and songs, its symbolic meaning is educational and inspirational.

He can guarantee it...

The influence of "The Young Man's Tale" on later generations will definitely allow him to take a big step forward on his path as a historian!

"Um."

Li Shimin nodded and continued drinking his tea: "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The historian sat down beside Li Shimin with an air of grandeur.

Li Shimin's lips twitched.

You'll sit just because I tell you to?

Can't you say a few polite words like "This humble subject dares not" or "This humble subject is terrified"?

Wei Zheng valued etiquette and would at least speak tactfully.

You're annoying!

Even more annoying than Lao Wei!

"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu has returned."

Just then, the spy in charge of keeping watch came to report.

Li Shimin's displeasure vanished instantly.

Is the show about to begin?

"Let's go to the Wei residence!"

The group hurriedly headed to the Wei residence.

Just as the steward was about to report, Li Shimin ordered his men to arrest him.

I came to watch Old Wei beat up Little Wei, how could I let you interfere?

The old steward was cornered, with four burly guards staring intently at him.

Behind him.

The historian silently took out his paper and pen...

Inside the lobby.

Wei Zheng stood before Wei Shuyu, his face as if covered with a layer of frost, cold and terrifying.

"Tell me, did you insult Li Junxian yesterday?"

Wei Zheng's condescending question.

"yes."

Wei Shuyu readily admitted it.

What did you say to him?

Wei Zheng's eyes widened.

"Well……"

Wei Shuyu was a little embarrassed because his scolding was indeed quite fierce.

*Smack*

Wei Zheng walked behind Wei Shuyu, raised the rattan cane, and lashed it hard across Wei Shuyu's back.

"hiss……"

Wei Shuyu gasped and jumped to his feet: "Father, you really hit me!"

well played!

In the shadows, Li Shimin clenched his fist suddenly.

Exciting, thrilling, today was definitely worth it!

Keep hitting! Keep beating!

Recently, Xiao Wei has gotten a bit cocky, and I beat him so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three months!

"explain!"

Wei Zheng, holding a rattan cane, coldly rebuked him.

"These include crimes such as insubordination, disobeying orders, and disrespect..."

Wei Shuyu muttered something to himself.

"That's good to admit!"

*Smack*

Wei Zheng struck Wei Shuyu's arm with a rattan cane again.

"If you hit me again, I'll scream for my mother!"

Wei Shuyu clutched his arm and retreated repeatedly.

Wei Zheng snorted coldly: "It's no use calling anyone today!"

"Then I'll leave?"

After saying this, Wei Shuyu turned and walked towards the gate.

Old Wei has gone mad; he's making his escape first...

"If you dare to step out of this hall today, I will sever our father-son relationship!"

Holy crap.

Wei Shuyu pulled his foot back from the threshold.

“I only scolded Li Junxian a few times, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?” Wei Shuyu retorted, unconvinced.

These days, I've seen plenty of people criticize me, but I've never seen Lao Wei this angry.

What kind of gunfire did I eat today...?

"Get over here and kneel down!"

Wei Zheng did not answer, but instead shouted sternly.

"Kneeling is acceptable, hitting is acceptable..."

Wei Shuyu retorted, his neck stiff, "You have to tell me first why you hit me!"

"Who gave you the right to insult Li Junxian like that?"

Wei Zheng struck the rattan cane on the table and gave it a cold look.

dark place.

Li Shimin abandoned his desire to watch the show.

He seemed to understand why Wei Zheng was so angry.

"Li Junxian disrespected the Emperor Emeritus first..."

Wei Shuyu immediately retorted, "The Emperor Emeritus has been humiliated, and as his subject, I should naturally share his burden."

There are many ways to dissuade Li Junxian!

Wei Zheng said sternly with a straight face, "You can reason with him, you can scold him, you can hit him, and I will protect you!"

"But do you even know what you're doing?"

"You are fabricating baseless charges against me!"

"Disobeying imperial orders, insubordination, utter disrespect..."

"If these accusations get out, Li Junxian's reputation will be ruined by you!"

Wei Shuyu frowned.

That seems to make some sense.

"What can I do about the Emperor Emeritus's request?" Wei Shuyu said, pursing his lips.

"You bastard!"

Wei Zheng slammed a rattan cane on the table, his anger growing: "With your current eloquence, do you really expect me to teach you how to speak, word by word, just to convince Li Junxian?"

"Li Junxian was utterly loyal to the Tang Dynasty and to His Majesty."

"Do you realize that your words are framing a loyal minister!"
