Chapter 304 Li Shimin Resolves His Inner Confession
"Dr. Wei..."
A merchant stepped forward, wanting to say a few words in defense of Li Chongyi.
"Luo Dan."
Wei Shuyu ignored his nonsense and suddenly shouted, "Is he guilty?"
Luo Dan quickly jogged out of line.
"Master Wei, his name is Lu Gan. He's in the ceramics business. To eliminate his rivals, he secretly tampered with Boss Luo's porcelain."
"In the end, with the help of Master Li, Boss Luo was swindled out of everything!"
Lu Gan's expression changed drastically.
He pointed at Luo Dan and said in a trembling voice, "Luo Dan, don't make false accusations!"
"I……"
Luo Dan was about to explain when Wei Shuyu stopped him.
He had no interest in upholding justice for a mere merchant.
"Little Jiji!"
Um?
Is there work coming in?
Choi Shin-ki, who was engrossed in watching the exciting show, suddenly perked up and pulled out a brick.
"Brothers, let's go!"
Splash!
The group of friends transformed into violent boys once again.
They swarmed forward.
After a brutal beating, silence fell.
"Wei Shuyu, you need evidence to get things done. Do you have any evidence?"
Li Chongyi said with eyes blazing with fury, "This is violent law enforcement and torture to extract a confession!"
These merchants were connections he had painstakingly built up.
To be hit in front of him is to slap him in the face.
“Li Chongyi…”
Wei Shuyu stepped forward and shouted, "Know your place!"
"I am the one in charge of Hu County!"
"You must obey my orders too..."
Wow.
Suddenly, everyone present understood Wei Shuyu's intention.
This is a power grab!
During the month or so that he was in a coma, Wei Shuyu lost control of Hu County.
To regain control, we must make an example of someone!
"As for the evidence?"
Wei Shuyu slapped his forehead beside him.
Xiao Liu was glaring at Li Chongyi with a grimace when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
"..."
The Imperial College army still needs more refinement in terms of ideological awareness and the ability to read people's expressions.
"The investigation falls under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple," Uncle Wei said.
Xiao Liu is quite clever.
After realizing what had happened, he ran to the Dali Temple official's side and said, "Uncle Yang, Lu Gan is plotting to murder his colleague. You should arrest him."
The officials of the Court of Judicial Review took one look and realized it was the grandson of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
That absolutely has to be done...
"Don't worry, Uncle Yang has it covered."
The Dali Temple official waved his hand dismissively.
A group of soldiers immediately rushed out and arrested Lu Gan.
"Wei Shuyu, do you dare to force a confession out of us in front of everyone?"
Li You couldn't stand it any longer and immediately stepped forward.
"Prince Yan!"
Wei Shuyu stepped forward and reprimanded him mercilessly: "I'll reiterate once again, don't interfere in the affairs of other departments!"
"Your interference in the affairs of my Ministry of Commerce is an overreach of your authority!"
"Interfering in the Dali Temple's handling of cases is also an overreach of authority!"
"If you continue to obstruct our work, don't blame me for reporting you to His Majesty!"
Li You wiped his face with his hand.
Not wiping sweat...
That brat Wei Shuyu has no manners when it comes to insults; I don't know if it was unintentional or deliberate.
The saliva was spraying out like a fountain.
"Stop throwing accusations around!" Li You gritted his teeth.
Wei Shuyu seized on this point and wouldn't let it go, leaving him with absolutely no way to deal with it.
"Does the Prince of Yan think this is the end of it?"
“A prince of a nation, visiting brothels.”
Do you know what you're doing?
Swish.
Li You panicked.
People who come to Wanhuage are generally not criticized.
But if this were to be taken too seriously and spread to the imperial court, the officials would definitely criticize it to the point of questioning their existence.
"you……"
Li You pointed at Wei Shuyu, stammering and unable to speak.
"Prince Yan, please don't be anxious."
Wei Shuyu laughed and said, "You humiliated me yesterday. What do you think would happen if I brought it up in court?"
The prince humiliated his subjects.
As I said before, if no one is making a fuss, it's not a big deal.
But if you're really serious, you should at least give an explanation for humiliating someone, right?
What was the quality of the Tang Dynasty royal family?
What if everyone follows suit?
If this really escalates to the imperial court, Wei Zheng will definitely rebuke you so badly that you won't dare to leave the house for three days!
"Prince Yan, let's return to the palace first."
Yan Hongliang, standing to the side, finally spoke up to offer advice.
If we keep arguing, who knows how badly Wei Shuyu will be berated us.
"Wei Shuyu, you have abused your power and colluded with other officials..."
"Just you wait until I report this to my father!"
Li You was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
After uttering a few harsh words, he turned and left.
"The Imperial College army bids you farewell!"
Choi Shin-ki seized the opportunity and quickly gave the order.
Dong dong qiang, dong dong qiang.
The children were banging on a cheerful gong...
“Li Chongyi…”
Wei Shuyu turned his gaze to Li Chongyi.
What do you want to do?
Li Chongyi's heart was pounding.
He was truly afraid of Wei Shuyu.
"fine."
Wei Shuyu said to Luo Dan beside him, "Luo Dan, find a doctor to examine Li Chongyi's injuries."
A quick glance around.
Wei Shuyu's cold gaze swept over the group of merchants...
"Three days later, I will go to Hu County to preside over the promotion of commerce."
"No matter how dirty your private affairs are, clean up your mess for me."
"Anyone who dares to interfere with Chongshang will be executed!"
The merchants were on tenterhooks.
The policy of promoting commerce was proposed by Wei Shuyu...
No matter how well Li Chongyi does, he cannot change Wei Shuyu's status in the eyes of merchants.
They seemed to be very powerful under Li Chongyi's leadership.
But all it takes is a word from Wei Shuyu.
Their business will fail!
Wei Shuyu went to great lengths to elevate the status of merchants, making him a benefactor to merchants all over the world!
The benefactor spoke...
Either change careers or go bankrupt!
No one will do business with an ungrateful person.
"I will obey Physician Wei's order!"
The merchants all returned the gift in kind.
Lizheng Hall.
Li Shimin is having dinner.
"Why is Your Majesty's appetite so good today?" Empress Zhangsun asked with a smile.
How could it not be good?
He got a slap on the head from Li Yuan.
Xiao Wei remonstrated with him again.
I was also criticized by Lao Wei for a few minor issues.
Then one must turn grief and anger into appetite.
"Guanyinbi, do you think that guy Xiao Wei might really be Sirius?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
"Little Wei?"
Empress Zhangsun asked, puzzled.
“It’s Xuancheng’s son, Wei Shuyu,” Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, you actually believe that?"
Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth and laughed, "You said that Shuyu didn't bring any disaster to the Tang Dynasty, but instead offered a lot of strategies. I don't think it's a big deal."
"It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't!" Li Shimin still had some worries.
"Your Majesty, I believe you are overthinking this."
Empress Zhangsun placed some greens on Li Shimin's plate: "Sirius represents war and disaster, but it didn't say it would steal the Tang Dynasty's throne..."
Wow.
Li Shimin slapped his forehead.
yes!
How come I didn't think of that?
It wasn't said that Xiao Wei would rebel, so why should I be afraid?
Conversely, with Lao Wei around, Xiao Wei's loyalty is absolutely beyond question.
certainly……
If someone else had said these words, the effect would have been far less than that of Empress Zhangsun.
Wei Zheng said...
Li Shimin would only think that Wei Zheng was trying to exonerate his son.
The prince said...
Li Shimin would also think that the other party wanted to win over the Wei family.
The subject said...
Li Shimin would have thought that officials were protecting each other.
But it's different when it comes from Empress Zhangsun.
Firstly, Empress Zhangsun was his empress.
Secondly, it is absolutely true that the Changsun family and the Wei family are at odds.
Thirdly, Empress Zhangsun had a tremendous influence on Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is known as a wise ruler.
They can't live without each other...
First, Wei Zheng.
Second, Empress Zhangsun.
It wasn't until after the deaths of both men that Li Shimin began to act increasingly irrationally in his later years.
"Governing the country depends on Your Majesty and the court."
"To entrust everything to the stars is a sign of national ruin."
"Wei Zheng was extremely loyal, and he was conscientious and meticulous in his duties every day..."
"Even if his son really is Sirius."
"Your Majesty should also join hands with your subjects to fight against natural disasters and man-made calamities."
"Only when the ruler and his ministers are of one mind can the world be at peace!"
As Empress Zhangsun recounted her story, Li Shimin's doubts were finally dispelled.
"Guanyinbi's words have truly resolved the long-standing worries in my heart..."
Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and held Empress Zhangsun's hand for a long time, unable to let go.
Honestly.
He didn't want to target the Wei family.
But the matter of Sirius was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, causing him extreme discomfort.
Now that all grudges had been resolved, Li Shimin was in a very good mood.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty has seemed unwell for the past month, and I only realized the key to it by chance."
"Guanyinbi has gone to great lengths."
The two were having a conversation typical of married couples.
A eunuch rushed in to report.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan requests an audience!"
Yu'er?
Li Shimin was puzzled.
However, they still summoned the other party.
"Father, you must stand up for your son!"
As soon as Li You entered the door, he began to cry and complain: "Wei Shuyu bullied me, beat my cousin, he's utterly lawless..."
"presumptuous!"
Li Shimin slammed the chopsticks down on the table.
If it were just now, he might still be dissatisfied with Wei Shuyu.
But after his inner conflict was resolved, he placed extreme trust in the Wei family.
Moreover, because of his suspicions, the Wei family suffered a lot of injustice.
Li Shimin naturally would no longer easily believe slander.
"Father...Father Emperor."
Li You replied in a clear voice, "It is your son who has been bullied!"
"Would Shuyu wrong you?"
Li Shimin replied with displeasure, "Even if he hit you, it was definitely your fault!"
Huh?
Li You was stunned.
Aren't you suspicious of Wei Shuyu?
Didn't you tell us to test him?
Now that we've tested the waters and gotten back at you, you're turning your back on us?
"Is there anything else?" Li Shimin asked sternly.
"No...that's all."
Li You wiped away his cold sweat.
"What's the point of staying here if it's gone!"
Li Shimin rebuked, "Do you want me to keep you here for a meal?"
Li You fled in panic.
“Your Majesty, You’er is the Prince of Yan, isn’t it too much for you to be so harsh on him?” Empress Dowager Changsun advised.
snort.
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Does he think I can't see through his little schemes?"
"He tried to win over Li Chongyi and even went to a brothel for a banquet."
"This is a disgrace to the royal family..."
Oh, I see.
Empress Zhangsun ignored it.
Li You harbored ill intentions and wanted to seize the throne from her son.
She's being incredibly magnanimous by not kicking him while he's down.
"Guanyinbi, you've eaten your fill, haven't you...?"
Li Shimin revealed a lecherous expression.
