Chapter 222 Inspecting the Junior Doctor, Inspecting Li Tai
Three days later.
Wei Shuyu was ordered to attend court by Wei Zheng.
What you do normally is none of Wei Zheng's business.
But now that he's in office, he definitely needs to know about certain important national events.
Otherwise, like last time...
Lao Tzu proposed a strategy of education, but his son opposed it.
That would just make us a laughingstock.
While Wei Shuyu was attending court, across from the Wenyun Pavilion...
Wu Yun Ge is now open!
"Come, take a look, have a look, a folding fan by a famous artist..."
"Yao Silian, Master Yao..."
"Li Xuandao, Master Li..."
"Masterpieces by Gai Wenda and Gai Wenyi, two great Confucian scholars of our time!"
Drums and gongs were played in front of Wuyun Pavilion.
It attracted a large number of people to watch.
"Wang Fatan, they really dare to drive right across from us!"
Choi Shin-ki gripped a folding fan, gritting his teeth: "Let's go, call for help, and smash their shop."
"What are you smashing?"
Fang Yi'ai stopped the other person: "Didn't my brother say to let them drive?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."
Choi Shin-ki slapped his forehead: "What else is the big pot slurping about?"
"Well……"
Fang Yi'ai stroked his chin: "Didn't you remember?"
Am I hitting you on the head?
"Then if you hit me on the head, how am I supposed to remember what my brother said?"
The two started arguing again.
But in the end, they were drowned out by the other side's drumming and gonging.
The two immediately became unhappy.
How dare you interfere with our argument?
I'll smash your shop!
"Get out of here."
Accompanied by a dozen servants, the two scoundrels swept through the crowd with an arrogant and domineering attitude.
Xuanwu Gate.
Wei Shuyu dozed off for half the day in the Taiji Hall, finally managing to slip away until the court session ended.
As soon as I stepped out of Xuanwu Gate, a friend came up to greet me.
"Big brother, big brother... something bad has happened!"
Looking around, Wei Shuyu saw his friend's face covered in bruises.
Why the hell are they fighting again?
It looks like we have to do something about this.
"What's up?"
Wei Shuyu frowned.
"Shenji and Yi'ai tore up the Emperor Emeritus's folding fan."
"Just tear it up."
Wei Shuyu was utterly speechless: "Why not just have the Emperor Emeritus write another one?"
It's no big deal.
Li Yuan's calligraphy and paintings were worthless.
It was easier for those two to get goods from Li Yuan than to get their own father's calligraphy and paintings.
No, that's not it.
My friend was so anxious he was stamping his feet: "They tore up the Wu Yun Ge logo!"
Wei Shuyu paused in his steps and turned around: "Wu Yun Ge is open?"
"right."
The friend nodded.
"Walk."
Just as Wei Shuyu was about to head there, a carriage emerged from the side gate.
Wei Shuyu instinctively made way for him.
The carriage stopped beside him...
"Wei Shuyu".
The curtain was lifted, revealing Li Tai's chubby face.
"Greetings, King Wei."
Wei Shuyu clasped his hands in a fist salute.
With many officials coming and going at the palace gate, Wei Shuyu still had to put on a show.
Where to?
"Wen Yun Ge" (文韵阁).
"Yeah?"
Li Tai chuckled and said, "I'm going there too. Do you want a ride?"
"Then thank you very much, King Wei."
Wei Shuyu didn't stand on ceremony and got into the carriage directly.
The boy tried to climb onto the carriage, but Li Tai glared at him and stopped him.
She could only pout and follow along, looking utterly wronged...
"I heard you're now a tutor to the Crown Prince?"
Li Tai said with a smile.
His seemingly gentle tone betrayed a hint of dissatisfaction.
"yes."
Wei Shuyu put a cushion under his bottom.
Is a horse-drawn carriage easy, or is it uncomfortable?
"I have always treated you with all my heart, why do you treat me like this?"
Li Tai looked heartbroken: "I will forgive and forget what you did to me at Cuiyun Residence back then..."
"etc……"
Wei Shuyu interrupted, "Back when I was impeached by Changsun Wuji for taking the princess out, didn't the King of Wei also kick me while I was down?"
Well……
Li Taiyi was stunned.
Is there?
I think so?
"Then I didn't blame you for sending Nangong Wan'er to the East Palace..."
Li Tai came up with another reason.
"That doesn't seem right."
Wei Shuyu frowned: "When I wanted to protect Chu Suiliang, you seemed to stand up for me too, didn't you?"
"..."
Lee Tae was numb.
Didn't we agree not to go against Xiao Wei?
Did I step on it again?
"Alright..."
Li Tai's expression hardened: "I just want to ask you one question: are you really planning to oppose me?"
"That doesn't make sense either, does it?"
Wei Shuyu retorted, "May I ask Your Highness, have I ever actively sought trouble with you?"
"But Your Highness, which is Your Highness going to this time, the Literary Pavilion or the Martial Pavilion?"
Wei Shuyu responded with a smile as well.
Where did Wu Yunge get the Emperor Emeritus's folding fan?
Apart from Erhuo and Wu Qiqi, the rest of the people never get to see the Emperor Emeritus.
Li Shimin would not allow anyone to have contact with Li Yuan.
Let's take a closer look at the entire city of Chang'an.
Only Li Shimin's children were able to obtain Li Yuan's original calligraphy.
I am now the Crown Prince's tutor.
Even if Li Chengqian wanted to open the Wuyun Pavilion, he would definitely inform me in advance.
It's unlikely that Li Lizhi, being a girl, would be involved.
Li Zhi and the others were still young...
After eliminating all the others, only Li Tai remained.
"That depends on your choice."
Li Tai took out a folding fan and unfolded it with a whoosh...
"If you tell me to go to Wenyun Pavilion, then I will go to Wenyun Pavilion."
"If you tell me to go to Wuyun Pavilion, then I will go to Wuyun Pavilion."
Wei Shuyu pretended not to understand.
"Your Highness, Prince Wei, would not dare to say such a thing."
"I am but a mere subject; how dare I interfere with His Highness Prince Wei's decision!"
Li Tai remained silent, his face grim.
An eerie silence fell over the carriage.
"So you really intend to pledge allegiance to your elder brother?"
After a long pause, Li Tai asked again.
"That doesn't make sense, does it?"
Wei Shuyu said righteously and sternly, "This position of Crown Prince's tutor is an official title conferred by His Majesty."
"If you don't want me to take the position, then talk to His Majesty..."
Li Tai squinted.
Damn it, I can't even get a single word out of him!
"So you want me to go to the Martial Arts Pavilion?" Li Tai sneered.
"No……"
Wei Shuyu held up one index finger: "There's only one Wenyun Pavilion in this direction, no Wuyun Pavilion!"
Um?
Li Tai instinctively sensed something was wrong.
However, just thinking about the authentic works of those famous figures...
That uneasy heart finally relaxed...
He has an extensive network of connections!
Wei Shuyu went to great lengths to acquire the calligraphy and paintings of those famous scholars.
He acquired a large quantity without lifting a finger.
Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun were very famous!
However, there were as many as eighteen Grand Secretaries who were on par with him.
The eighteen scholars of the Prince of Qin's Palace were also the eighteen scholars of the Zhenguan era.
Wei Shuyu had the support of the Imperial Academy and donated several hundred folding fans.
Wu Yun Ge donated 5,000 guan directly!
"parking."
Li Tai suddenly shouted.
As the carriage came to a stop, Li Tai said with a cold smile, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
"Wei Shuyu, you'll have to walk the rest of the road by yourself..."
Are you kicking me off the bus?
Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes.
This may seem like a trivial matter.
But the significance it holds is multifaceted.
First, he was kicked off the carriage by Li Tai, which was humiliating.
Second, it is possible that some people with ulterior motives might misunderstand and believe that he has sided with Li Chengqian.
Third, they might also be labeled as disrespectful to the prince.
Do you want to embarrass my Wei family?
You, King of Wei, are not qualified!
"Your Highness, Prince Wei."
Wei Shuyu took out a piece of brocade and asked with a cold expression, "By order of the Emperor Emeritus, the Inspector General is responsible for supervising members of the royal family!"
"May I ask, Your Majesty..."
"When the Emperor Emeritus ordered you to lose 20 pounds in a month, did you manage to do it?"
A junior doctor in the ward?
How come I've never heard of it?
He snatched the brocade and examined it carefully...
The Emperor Emeritus's handwriting is correct, and so is his imperial seal.
And... Father's imperial seal can't be wrong either!
Holy crap!
Is this junior doctor a real person?
"Your Highness, Prince Wei, please..."
"If you don't want a memorial impeaching you to appear on His Majesty's desk tomorrow."
"If you don't want the Emperor Emeritus to come and offer his condolences..."
"Your Highness, please walk to Wenyun Pavilion."
