Chapter 225 Criticism and insults go hand in hand!
"How did it pass?"
Wei Shuyu asked a question in return.
"Chongyi may have made mistakes, but they weren't as serious as you say, were they?"
"Moreover, the Prince of Hejian has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Don't you think it's going too far to reprimand his eldest son in front of everyone?"
Xu Jingzong wore an expression that looked down upon all living beings.
no way.
Who told him to become a literary official so soon?
All the civil and military officials had to be extremely wary of him, let alone these little Karami.
"Uncle Xu, out of consideration for the friendship between you and my father, I'll call you Uncle Xu!"
"But this is a business matter, I advise you not to interfere!"
Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes and still gave a piece of advice.
certainly……
It seemed like advice, but in reality, it didn't give him any face at all!
Xu Jingzong frowned almost imperceptibly.
I am a historian, and your elder. Who do you think you are?
"It's not that I want to interfere, but when we're out and about, we should be reasonable."
Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and smiled, "If you like my calligraphy, I'll write another one for you."
"Um...no money required!"
Xu Jingzong resembled a wise and patient elder.
The phrase "not accepting money" in particular carries a strong moral high ground.
This earned him the admiration of many people.
"Do you think this is a matter of a piece of calligraphy?"
Wei Shuyu showed no mercy: "He is obstructing the pro-commerce policy!"
Um?
I've already been so humble, and you still won't give me face?
"Shuyu, I know you're in charge of commercial matters."
Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and smiled: "But it's just a small matter of a folding fan, there's no need to escalate it to a policy of prioritizing commerce, is there?"
Old fox!
Xu Jingzong appears to be smiling.
However, his words implied that Wei Shuyu was abusing his power and making baseless accusations.
Wei Shuyu's personality was very similar to Wei Zheng's.
They are outspoken and dare to criticize...
If you're willing to curse me outright, I absolutely won't play games with you!
but……
Wei Shuyu fears neither heaven nor earth, but he is still afraid of Old Wei's nagging.
Xu Jingzong had at least worked with Lao Wei before.
It would be troublesome if Lao Wei started nagging afterward...
"Uncle Xu is right!"
Wei Shuyu jokingly added, "But my father is a court attendant!"
Attendant-in-Ordinary?
What does that mean?
Just as everyone understood, someone offered an explanation...
"The Chamberlain is in charge of the Secretariat, and all historians are under the jurisdiction of Chamberlain Wei!"
Whoosh...
Now everyone understood that Wei Shuyu was using his status to pressure Xu Jingzong.
Choi Shin-ki and Fang Yi-ai were so shocked that their mouths were agape.
So even the eldest brother knows his father's background...
“Brother Wei’s character is something that Yanzu (Xu Jingzong’s courtesy name) greatly admires.”
"Even if His Majesty is in danger, Brother Wei dares to risk his life to offer his advice!"
Xu Jingzong didn't hold back in praising him.
Suddenly, the tone changed: "But Shuyu..."
"Your father is upright and incorruptible, yet you use his name to commit all sorts of misdeeds!"
"Do you realize that you're ruining Brother Wei's reputation?"
"Later, I will pay a visit to Brother Wei at the Duke of Zheng's residence..."
The expressions of the onlookers were extremely strange...
Wei Shuyu used Wei Zheng to suppress him!
Xu Jingzong seized the opportunity and used Wei Zheng to suppress Wei Shuyu.
Upon closer reflection...
Too.
Wei Zheng was known for his uprightness and incorruptibility. If he had known that his son was misbehaving in his name, he would never have let Wei Shuyu off easily.
"Xu Jingzong, don't push your luck!" Wei Shuyu said angrily.
That old sly fox.
Even more difficult to deal with than Changsun Wuji...
Say it again!
Xu Jingzong suddenly shouted, striking a pose: "I am your elder, what kind of attitude is this?"
The sons of military officers stared in disbelief...
It seems that Xu Jingzong has suppressed Wei Shuyu.
Is Wei Shuyu going to suffer a crushing defeat here today?
"elder?"
Wei Shuyu sneered: "Changsun Wuji used the same way to suppress me back then. Let's see if he still dares to use his seniority to suppress me now?"
Xu Jingzong paused for a moment.
"Xu Jingzong, let me give you another friendly reminder!"
"If you leave now, I can pretend you were never here..."
"If you insist on standing on the attic and showing off... then be prepared to get fired!"
Wei Shuyu stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.
Let Lao Wei nag me if he wants...
I won't feel at ease until I've thoroughly humiliated Xu Jingzong to the point of questioning his existence!
Are you threatening me?
Xu Jingzong's face immediately darkened.
With thousands of eyes staring at him, how could he save face if he didn't refute them?
"threaten?"
Wei Shuyu shook his index finger: "I'm dealing with matters related to commerce, and you have to come and say a few words. Who do you think you are!"
Don't you like to pretend to be high and mighty?
Don't you like to put on airs?
I won't pretend, and I won't!
But I not only know how to verbally abuse people, I also know how to curse them...
Sometimes, criticizing and insulting can go hand in hand!
"This brat is hard to teach!"
Xu Jingzong's image as a strict teacher has become even more solidified...
"Then I'll tell you, I'm going to take care of this matter today!"
"Even if it takes up with His Majesty, I will still argue my case!"
Xu Jingzong's words were resounding and powerful.
The people all believed that Xu Jingzong had done the right thing.
However……
Whether they were sons of military officers or soldiers from the Imperial Academy.
They all looked at him as if he were an idiot.
This is Xiao Wei.
Now, whenever his father comes home, he mentions Xiao Wei a few times.
Little Wei, whom even civil and military officials couldn't out-criticize...
"Good stance, good momentum!"
Wei Shuyu nodded, adopting an official air: "But I wonder what I did to make you so indignant?"
"Abuse of power for personal gain!"
Xu Jingzong rebuked him without hesitation: "You are bullying the son of a meritorious official!"
"I bullied him?"
Wei Shuyu sneered, "Are you blind?"
"He has hundreds of sons of military officers, while I am just one person."
How could I bully him?
He stood in the attic, and I stood below the attic.
How could I bully him?
Well……
Xu Jingzong was stunned.
He quickly realized: "You abused your power to suppress him."
"Go to hell with your abuse of power!"
Wei Shuyu cursed, "Are you out of your mind to say something like that?"
"According to your logic..."
"Does this mean that even if a subject makes a mistake, His Majesty cannot punish him?"
"Does His Majesty's reprimand of his subjects constitute an abuse of power?"
Wei Shuyu took a step forward, his eyes unusually sharp.
"I am a person in charge who values commerce!"
"Li Chongyi was also an official who favored business..."
"As his boss, what's wrong with me teaching him a lesson?"
Wow.
They've arrived.
Wei Shuyu started criticizing.
The Imperial Academy's army raised their arms and shouted, causing the sons of military officers to tremble in fear...
"You're talking nonsense!"
Xu Jingzong glared and puffed out his beard.
He was about to say something when Wei Shuyu didn't give him the chance...
"You're the one who's meddling!"
Wei Shuyu rebuked him sternly, saying, "I am in charge of matters related to commerce, and I have full authority over everything!"
"Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me like that!"
“If there is an uneven road, I will certainly level it!” Xu Jingzong replied, stroking his beard.
"If there's dog shit on the road, why don't you lick it clean!" Wei Shuyu retorted fiercely.
"You bastard!"
Xu Jingzong was furious: "Your language is filthy and vulgar! How could Xuancheng have such a foul-mouthed son!"
"How dare you!"
Wei Shuyu retorted again: "You're brain-dead and blind! How could your parents let you out to bite people everywhere!"
