Chapter 310 Little Wei is even more annoying than Old Wei
"Enough!"
Li Shimin immediately rebuked, "Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of such a trivial matter?"
"Does Your Majesty truly consider this a trivial matter?"
Wei Shuyu's face darkened: "Do you know how outsiders will criticize you then?"
"how?"
Li Shimin replied dismissively, "I have acted uprightly and sat properly, and I have a clear conscience. Why should I fear the gossip of outsiders?"
Wei Shuyu pondered.
A famous line from Bai Juyi's poem about seduction came to mind, which Wei Shuyu had specifically studied...
It turned out to be such a long poem!
This guy...
Sometimes it's just being a jerk.
Too lazy to memorize the short ones.
Wei Shuyu actually memorized the entire long one...
Coincidentally, some of the sentences contained insults directed at the monarch.
Just as Li Shimin was getting impatient and about to leave, Wei Shuyu spoke up...
"The spring night is too short and the sun rises high; from then on, the emperor no longer holds morning court."
"She had no time to serve the guests and attend banquets; she spent her days in spring outings and her nights in exclusive company."
After Wei Shuyu finished speaking, his sharp gaze fell upon Li Shimin…
"Is Your Majesty sure you can tolerate this?"
Wow.
Several people felt a chill run down their spines.
Wei Shuyu actually wrote a poem to criticize Li Shimin.
Even Cheng Yaojin understood...
Spring nights are fleeting.
From then on, the emperor stopped holding morning court sessions.
Other sentences might be harder to understand, but these two sentences are really easy to understand...
"You're asking for it!"
Li Shimin shouted loudly.
An unprecedented anger.
Wei Shuyu actually dared to scold him for being indulging in a life of pleasure and even skipping the morning court sessions.
"Does Your Majesty think I have said something wrong?"
Wei Shuyu became even more excited: "I only recited a few lines casually, and you can't stand it."
"Does Your Majesty know that after this matter spread throughout the land..."
"Outsiders will only say things that are more offensive and vulgar than what I have said!"
Cheng Yaojin and the others fell silent, not daring to breathe.
Xiao Wei started criticizing.
His Majesty is furious.
We need to remain invisible to avoid getting ourselves into trouble.
"Heaven and earth know this..."
Li Shimin replied through gritted teeth, "As long as you don't spread it, no one will know!"
"If you don't want people to hear it, don't say it; if you don't want people to know it, don't do it."
Wei Shuyu replied solemnly, "My father once showed me a book called 'A Letter to the King of Wu'."
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place!"
"Does Your Majesty think that if I don't tell, others won't know?"
Dog Wei Zheng!
Of all things to teach, why teach the Lord of Advice!
Is it not enough for you to govern me alone? Do you have to bring your son along too?
"As long as you shut up, I guarantee no one will dare to say anything," Li Shimin threatened fiercely.
"His Majesty!"
Wei Shuyu suddenly raised his voice: "Constantly covering up the truth is not the behavior of a wise ruler..."
As he spoke, Wei Shuyu pointed into the distance and said, "Do you still remember the mastermind behind it all?"
"The secret guards have already been infiltrated."
"Does Your Majesty think they won't leak the information?"
"Does Your Majesty think you can silence them?"
"Just because they don't talk about it today, or tomorrow... doesn't mean they'll never talk about it."
"This matter will eventually get out."
"If Your Majesty does not take this matter seriously, you will be the one to bear the infamy in the future..."
Swish.
Li Shimin's expression suddenly darkened.
He had been investigating the matter of the secret guards.
But we still haven't found a single clue...
"Your Majesty is the ruler of a nation."
"Your safety is related to the livelihood of all the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, I once again implore you to set aside your contempt."
"If Your Majesty still holds this view."
"Your Majesty can only..."
Wei Shuyu paused.
Just when Li Shimin thought that Xiao Wei was about to unleash his "death plea" skill.
Wei Shuyu changed the subject.
"Your Majesty can only report to my father and the Emperor Emeritus, and ask them to advise Your Majesty..."
"..."
Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
Petty trolls lack sportsmanship.
They know to call for help now.
etc……
The trolls have gotten help now?
Old Wei, Little Wei, Father Emperor...
Damn it.
Something's not right here.
"Are you trying to use the Emperor to pressure me?" Li Shimin threatened in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Wei Shuyu bowed deeply once again...
"I am a junior official appointed by the Emperor Emeritus, responsible for advising Your Majesty on your words and deeds."
"To alarm the Emperor Emeritus is already a dereliction of duty."
"I am willing to accept my punishment and die without regret!"
"But before I die, I still hope Your Majesty will heed my words..."
"Your Majesty represents the highest prestige and glory of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty represents the millions of ordinary people of the Great Tang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, I implore you once again..."
"Never leave behind an irreparable stain for the sake of momentary pleasure!"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth.
He truly had no way to deal with Wei Shuyu.
He left the palace on his own initiative, and was in the wrong from the start.
And Xiao Wei's father is Lao Wei...
If you had a different father, I would have killed you immediately!
"Cough cough..."
Cheng Yaojin finally stepped in to smooth things over.
As for what I said when I urged Li Shimin to leave the palace... I will take full responsibility for that.
That person is definitely not me.
Yes, that's what Changsun Wuji said!
"Shuyu, look, it's getting dark. Why don't we discuss this tomorrow?"
As he spoke, he gave Qin Qiong a wink.
Qin Shandao was Wei Shuyu's younger brother, and the two families had a good relationship.
"right."
Qin Qiong nodded: "Shuyu, it's so late now, even if we return to the palace, it will be tomorrow..."
Li Shimin stood aside, fuming.
He stared at Xiao Wei with wide eyes.
If Xiao Wei dared to make him return to the palace overnight, he would definitely not be able to hold back and beat Xiao Wei up.
Anyway, I'll get a scolding from Lao Wei when I get back.
He also gave Xiao Wei a good scolding after beating him up.
Lice don't itch, debts don't worry!
Destroy it...
I have a temper too!
"Who said we were going back to the palace?"
Wei Shuyu's words made everyone's eyes widen.
What's going on?
Weren't you just angrily berating His Majesty?
"Since the passing of your subject, Your Majesty has been unable to eat or drink and has been deeply depressed..."
Wei Shuyu said in a serious tone, "No one will say anything if His Majesty comes out for a stroll to clear his mind."
Grass!
Since no one will say anything, then what was that outburst you just gave us?
Several people gritted their teeth.
"Spit it out!"
Li Shimin was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder, but he forced out four words.
"His Majesty."
Wei Shuyu bowed and said, "The detached palace and villa are royal gardens, not dangerous places."
"Your Majesty, I believe you can come openly and honestly. Why do you have to sneak around?"
"What I mainly want to say this time is... Your Majesty only brought such a small number of people. If your whereabouts are leaked, it is possible that villains will take advantage of the situation."
"Your Majesty's sneaky departure may cause panic among court officials and relatives."
"And those women in the detached palaces and villas might damage His Majesty's reputation..."
Holy crap.
Li Shimin was immediately dumbfounded.
yes.
Why do I have to do this secretly?
"Yes, yes, yes."
Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly: "That's exactly what I advised His Majesty back then."
Um?
Wei Shuyu turned his gaze to Cheng Yaojin.
So it was you who instigated His Majesty.
Poor Changsun Wuji got a good scolding from me.
It doesn't matter though...
Changsun Wuji came along, so they were accomplices and their words weren't exactly wrong.
"..."
Changsun Wuji was so angry that his face was distorted.
I got criticized for a long time.
You've been made the scapegoat for everything?
Taking the blame is one thing...
When I was being criticized, didn't you stand up and say something in my defense?
"Then what suggestions do you have?" Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty should send someone back to the palace tonight to spread the word that you will come to the detached palace for a relaxing visit tomorrow..."
"It's just a matter of arriving a day earlier or a day later."
"Even if others find out by then, they won't be able to find an excuse to blame His Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded.
Then he glared fiercely at Cheng Yaojin.
What kind of ridiculous and terrible idea is this?
He sent Lao Wei away, left Fang Xuanling behind to cover the retreat, and secretly mingled among the merchants.
A flurry of actions, only to find out I was a complete idiot!
"His Majesty."
Cheng Yaojin said earnestly, "You can't blame me, I was only thinking of you..."
Go to hell.
So, I should thank you?
Li Shimin took a deep breath.
Old Cheng is a scoundrel; don't bother arguing with a scoundrel like him.
But damn it...
Why would I listen to the advice of a scoundrel?
"snort."
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Let's arrange it as Shuyu said..."
With that, he turned and walked into the detached palace.
Xiao Wei is so annoying.
Even seeing him just once makes me feel uncomfortable.
Looking back now, I think Lao Wei was better.
At least when they offer advice, they don't write poems to curse me...
However, before he had taken more than a few steps, Wei Shuyu's annoying voice came from behind again...
"His Majesty!"
"These women in the detached palaces and villas must never be touched!"
"Beware of the royal bloodline flowing out, beware of rumors and gossip..."
Li Shimin was so angry that he trembled all over.
Without beautiful women by my side, what am I doing here in this detached palace?
Do you really think I'm here for sightseeing?
I long to experience the joy of swimming like a dragon in a hot spring...
