Chapter 306 Providing Official Positions for the Two Guys

"Big pot, big pot..."

"Get up, the sun's already high in the sky!"

Choi Shin-ki's voice arrived as promised.

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.

"I've told you so many times, stop making a fuss, my mother is about to give birth."

"oh."

Choi Shin-ki gave a simple, honest smile.

Where is Xiao Ai Ai?

Wei Shuyu asked.

"Standing at the front door, getting chilly," Choi Shin-ki replied with a grin.

"..."

Wei Shuyu was speechless: "Call him in, I have something to say."

"oh oh."

Choi Shin-ki left happily.

During this time, Wei Shuyu quickly washed up.

soon.

Choi Shin-ki, Fang Yi-ai, and Qin Shan-dao were already standing in a row in the courtyard.

“The three of you…”

Wei Shuyu sighed: "Try to avoid trouble in the future."

These words immediately drew strong protests from the three individuals.

"Big brother, we don't cause trouble."

"Yes, yes, yes, if we're talking about troublemakers, you're the one who's best at causing trouble."

"Let's stir things up! Let's stir things up, Big Brother! Let's stir things up!"

The three men had a look of intense excitement on their faces.

"Shut up!"

Wei Shuyu shouted, "You're such a grown man, all you do is cause trouble all day long. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

All three of them curled their lip in disapproval.

You're the one who always causes trouble. How dare you talk to us like that?

"Alright."

Wei Shuyu got straight to the point, saying, "Let's get back to the main topic. Do you want to become officials?"

The Ministry of Commerce was officially established.

It's time to expand our manpower.

It's not good for these three to fight every day; we need to find a way to restrain them.

Um?

The three of them widened their eyes in surprise.

You said you didn't want to cause trouble? This is even more exciting!

"Big Brother, tell me, what rank do you want me to be?"

"I don't ask for much, just the fifth rank. My father said that only the fifth rank counts as truly entering the imperial court."

"I want to be a great general."

Clap clap clap.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wei Shuyu smacked him three times on the head without any mercy.

Fifth rank? Grand General?

I'm still a sixth-rank doctor, and you guys are going to be promoted to fifth rank?

Wei Shuyu, who had originally wanted to show off in front of those guys, suddenly lost all interest in doing so.

"You three are just..."

Wei Shuyu scoffed, "People look down on you for serving tea and water to a ninth-rank official, and you expect to become a fifth-rank official?"

"..."

All three of them curled their lip in disapproval.

If you've got the guts, call over a low-ranking official and see if he dares to make us serve him tea and water.

"What do you mean by 'big pot'?" Choi Shin-ki covered his head.

My husband has been getting a lot of liver fire lately, and he keeps hitting his head.

Looks like it's time to get a helmet...

Um.

Li Junxian's helmet is quite sturdy; I'll discuss it with him tomorrow.

"Ninth rank, do you want it or not?" Wei Shuyu said irritably.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The three goods nodded repeatedly.

After all, he was the son of an official; how could he not know the benefits of becoming an official at this age?

I only said that because I thought Wei Shuyu was joking.

Let me make the unpleasant things clear from the start.

"If I become an official, I can no longer act recklessly and beat people at will like before..."

Wei Shuyu began a wave of educational exports.

The three idiots didn't care what you were saying; they nodded like hens pecking at rice.

"Um."

Wei Shuyu was quite satisfied: "Then let's set off now to find the Emperor Emeritus!"

ah?

"Why are you looking for the retired emperor?" Choi Shin-ki asked, puzzled.

"Of course, we should have him issue the decree..."

Official appointment.

Officials of the fifth rank and above were appointed by the emperor himself.

Those below the sixth rank were to be dismissed by the Ministry of Personnel.

Therefore, if Wei Shuyu wanted to promote several people, he had to submit a recommendation to the Ministry of Personnel.

But...

Back then in the imperial court, Gao Shilian, the Minister of Personnel, was almost made to vomit blood by Wei Shuyu's spittle.

Recommendation?

They might not even be able to get into the Ministry of Personnel before being thrown out.

"Set off!"

Wei Shuyu led the way.

The three followed in a line behind.

Suddenly... Uncle Wei stopped in his tracks.

The three of them bumped into each other and immediately looked at Wei Shuyu with resentful eyes.

Wei Shuyu ignored him and turned to look at Qin Shandao...

"You shouldn't go."

"ah?"

Qin Shandao asked with a pained expression, "Brother, why?"

"Didn't you want to be a general?"

Wei Shuyu frowned and said, "We're here to become civil officials."

"Brother, I can work as a civil servant first as a temporary measure."

Qin Shandao replied in a serious tone.

"Have you learned all the characters?"

"Almost...almost." Qin Shandao stuck out his little finger.

"What kind of official are you if you don't even know the basics?" Wei Shuyu scolded.

Qin Shandao pouted, looking unhappy.

"rest assured."

Wei Shuyu patted the other's head and said, "When you're a little older, I'll recommend you to be a general in the army."

I see...

After a slight hesitation, Qin Shandao agreed with Wei Shuyu's statement.

What's so great about being a civil servant?

Spending all day agonizing over literary terms is exhausting; military life is much more enjoyable.

"Oh, right..."

Wei Shuyu suddenly seemed to remember something: "Have you finished copying the Classic of Filial Piety five times?"

Qin Shandao was dumbfounded.

His eyes darted away, and he stammered, unable to answer.

"very good."

Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes: "Little Jiji, Little Aiai, I'm leaving them to you."

"Big brother, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Choi Shin-ki replied timidly.

Xiao Shandao is, after all, my little brother, and I have to protect him in this critical moment!

"If I'm not satisfied with the result, then you shouldn't be officials anymore," Wei Shuyu replied indifferently.

"Mission accomplished!"

Swish.

The two men both looked at Qin Shandao with malicious smiles.

"What...what do you want to do?" Qin Shandao retreated in fear.

"Little Shan, just be good and we'll give you a good beating."

"Yes, we will be careful."

Crackle, crackle.

In the end, he couldn't escape the clutches of the two bastards, and Qin Shandao got a severe beating from them.

Da'an Palace.

Li Yuan greeted Wei Shuyu and his two companions with a smile.

The three of them, Xiao Wei and his companions, are still the best.

He knows he will come to see me from time to time.

In contrast, his grandchildren were always trembling with fear and had no sense of purpose.

Look at Choi Shin-ki...

They would snatch and eat their own offerings at the slightest disagreement.

Take a look at Fang Yi'ai...

He kept rummaging through drawers and cabinets, searching for his calligraphy.

And Wei Shuyu...

They've come to me for help again.

The three-way raid was like the Japanese invading a village, sweeping through everything in its path.

The guiding principle is: eat it all, drink it all, take it all, cheat it all...

Li Yuan was overjoyed.

"Shuyu..."

Li Yuan, holding the imperial seal, said, "I have no problem granting official titles to the two of them, but you must also expedite the construction of palaces for me."

"Your Majesty, rest assured."

Wei Shuyu readily agreed.

"Dai Zhou is gone, and I don't know how much longer I can hold on."

"I hope that I can live in the palace for a few days while I am still alive."

Li Yuan felt a little sad when Dai Zhou was mentioned.

He has enjoyed wealth and honor, and ascended to the throne of an emperor.

They have also experienced the pain of parents outliving their children.

In the end, he spent his later years in this dilapidated Da'an Palace...

"Long live the Emperor Emeritus!"

"After completing the formalities for the two goods, I will go to select a location."

"We will definitely find you a place blessed with beautiful scenery and auspicious energy!"

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

After affixing the imperial seal, he immediately sent an eunuch to the Ministry of Personnel to announce the decree.

The three of them played at Da'an Palace for a while longer before Wei Shuyu took his leave.

To build a palace, the first step is to choose a location!

Li Yuan is so helpful, we should do our best too, right?

Wei Shuyu led the two men on a journey to select a location.

at the same time……

Li Shimin called upon Changsun Wuji.

Cheng Yaojin called out to Qin Qiong.

The four disguised themselves and secretly left the palace.

As for Fang Xuanling, he still had to stay in the palace to guard against any unforeseen events.

For example……

What to do if Wei Zheng launches a surprise attack on the palace?

Someone has to cover for them.

Li Shimin and Wei Shuyu left the palace one after the other.

I don't know if it's a coincidence.

The two were traveling in the same direction...
