Chapter 417 Missing!

"The big pot is mighty! The big pot is awesome!"

Choi Shin-ki raised his arms and cheered.

Bang.

Wei Shuyu showed no mercy and kicked him.

Choi Sin-ki has developed an immunity to so many blows to the head.

"Physician Wei, Physician Wei..."

As Choi Shin-ki spoke, the people of Hu County also began to shout.

Wei Shuyu turned around...

He looked at everyone.

"Gentlemen, I have told you many times that I have been dismissed from my post."

The crowd ignored them and continued to call out for Doctor Wei.

It wasn't until quite a while later that a merchant stepped forward...

"Dr. Wei, I wonder if we can still stay in Hu County?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at Wei Shuyu.

If this regulation continues to be enforced, they will be unable to make ends meet and will have no choice but to trade in other areas.

"Please rest assured..."

Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "As long as I, Wei Shuyu, am alive, no one in Hu County will dare to lay a finger on me."

"But this decree was issued by the imperial court."

A shadow seemed to fall over the merchant's heart.

No matter what, Wei Shuyu has already been dismissed from his post.

Even if he is strong on his own, can he be stronger than the imperial court?

"It's fine."

Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "I will handle the negotiations with the court. You can continue your transactions as usual."

After saying this, Wei Shuyu turned to look at Wang Gui...

"Wang Gui!"

"Your humble servant is here."

"All the previously added regulations are hereby repealed. Unless His Majesty issues a personal order... Hu County will not accept any government decree!"

ah?

Wang Gui was dumbfounded.

Are you asking me to go against the entire court of officials?

"Can't it be done?"

Wei Shuyu sternly rebuked, "Remember, you are loyal to His Majesty!"

His Majesty made a move.

Wang Gui immediately perked up.

I live my life for Your Majesty!

"Don't worry, Physician Wei."

Wang Gui thumped his chest loudly: "This humble official will certainly protect Hu County well."

Wei Shuyu nodded, then turned to look at Qian Daniu...

"Qian Daniu!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Qian Daniu subconsciously straightened his body.

"Protect Hu County well. If any officials come to Hu County to act arrogantly, throw them all out!" Wei Shuyu said coldly.

"Your humble servant obeys!" Qian Daniu clasped his hands in a fist salute.

After giving the two instructions…

Wei Shuyu then looked at the people of Hu County.

Do any of you have any other questions?

Wei Shuyu's attitude inspired many people.

They immediately expressed their opinions one by one...

"Don't worry, Physician Wei, as long as you don't abandon Hu County, we will follow you!"

"We only trust Doctor Wei!"

"Since Physician Wei is in Hu County, I am also in Hu County."

Merchants from Hu County shouted at the top of their lungs.

"good!"

Wei Shuyu turned his gaze to the carriages parked outside the city: "Those that need to unload, unload; those that need to load, load..."

"Hu County is the leading economic county in Chang'an!"

"We must not allow its economy to come to a standstill..."

"All carriages, enter the city!"

As Wei Shuyu finished speaking, Hu County sped up its operations.

Many of the shops that had been closed have also reopened.

Horse-drawn carriages came and went, and the bustling scene returned.

After calming the merchants down, Wei Shuyu hurried off towards Chang'an...

The Imperial Palace.

Li Shimin was stunned when he received the report.

Wei Shuyu single-handedly drove away all the people I sent to Hu County.

"You bastard."

Li Shimin slammed his fist on the dragon table: "Xuancheng, is your Uncle Yu planning a rebellion?"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

Wei Zheng bowed and said, "It's not that Shuyu wants to rebel, but that the others are not popular."

"fart!"

Li Shimin rebuked him, saying, "He is a commoner who is confronting officials. How is this any different from rebellion?"

"His Majesty!"

Wei Zheng straightened up: "The reason why Shuyu was able to rebuke all the officials is because..."

"It's not that he's particularly eloquent, but that he stands on the side of the people!"

"Your Majesty, I once again implore you to reinstate Shuyu's official position!"

Then Wei Shuyu was appointed...

Li Shimin gritted his teeth.

The more you say that, the more I disagree!

"This matter needs no further discussion!"

Li Shimin refused with a single sentence: "I do not believe that our great Tang Dynasty cannot find a person who can compare with Wei Shuyu!"

Wei Zheng remained silent.

If it were anyone else, Wei Zheng would have absolutely died remonstrating with them.

But since the object of his affections was his own son, Wei Zheng still had some reservations.

Moreover, Li Shimin did not abandon the Ministry of Commerce; he simply wanted to change its leader.

This isn't a big problem.

The earth will keep turning no matter who is gone; this principle applies to every dynasty!

"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu is requesting an audience outside the palace."

Just then, a guard rushed in to report...

"not see!"

Li Shimin refused without even thinking.

“Your Majesty, Shuyu may have something important to report,” Wei Zheng stepped forward and advised.

"What could possibly be wrong with him?"

Li Shimin grumbled, "He's already been demoted, so what does it have to do with him even if something happens to him?"

"His Majesty."

Wei Zheng thought for a moment and said, "The coal mine and the escort agency matters still need Shuyu's supervision. If he is not here, it may affect the progress."

"Wei Zheng, don't push your luck."

Li Shimin rebuked him, saying, "He is acting like a dictator in Hu County. I have already shown mercy by not convicting him."

"and……"

"Even if he has something to do, can't he tell you?"

"You must come to the palace to see me."

"I think he's...he's plotting something sinister!"

Wei Zheng was stunned.

Your Majesty's use of the phrase "plotting treason" is apt; it's hard to refute

At the city gate.

Wei Shuyu chatted with the gatekeeper out of sheer boredom.

The palace procedures are complicated, and it can take a long time to wait.

After a while, the guard came running over...

"Wei Shuyu, His Majesty does not wish to see you."

Well……

It's just that he was dismissed from his post.

They've turned their backs on us like that...

"Then tell His Majesty that I will come again tomorrow..."

What is that?

The guard's eyes widened.

I am the guard responsible for announcing the news.

Are you using me as a mouthpiece?

However, failing to report even the smallest matters could lead to serious mistakes, while reporting might at most result in a scolding.

Then the guard scurried off to report.

"You bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin nearly flew into a rage: "Xuancheng, look at the fine son you've raised! He even knows how to anger me."

"Your Majesty, Shuyu is also thinking of the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Zheng bowed and said, "If he had no intention of serving the Tang Dynasty, why would he bother running around like this?"

snort.

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Don't think that I'll soften my heart just because you say that.

"Then I'll see how he faces me tomorrow."

As he spoke, Li Shimin looked at Wang De: "Wang De, give the orders..."

"Anyone who tries to enter the palace with the Emperor's decree shall be refused entry."

He was separated from his father, the emperor.

I'd like to see how you, Little Wei, will face me.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the beginning of February, the day of the Grand Court Assembly," Wang De reminded him.

"Yeah?"

Li Shimin then shouted loudly, "Then tell the guards at the city gate to keep a close watch and make sure no one sneaks in."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Wang De replied earnestly, "Tomorrow, this servant will personally guard the gate and will not allow Wei Moumou to step into the house!"

"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

Wei Zheng watched this scene speechlessly.

Your Majesty, have you forgotten about me?

Is there any possibility that I could bring my son in through the back door?
