Chapter 342 Punished for practicing unorthodox doctrines, beheaded!
"father?"
Wei Shuyu looked at Wei Zheng with a puzzled expression.
"Chen Shuozhen must not be executed."
Wei Zheng said to Wei Shuyu, "Come with me..."
Wei Shuyu looked at Chen Shuozhen...
Chen Shuozhen smiled indifferently: "I'll wait until you've finished talking."
Wei Shuyu's expression became even more solemn.
Chen Shuozhen's calm demeanor made him increasingly aware that things were not so simple...
soon.
The two arrived at a corner.
After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Wei Zheng said solemnly...
"Do you know why your father forbids you from touching Chen Shuozhen?"
Wei Shuyu shook his head.
"Because this is His Majesty's order!"
Wei Zheng handed a slip of paper to Wei Shuyu: "A report has come from Jiangnan that Chen Shuozhen has a powerful force there, capable of influencing the situation..."
"That can't be right."
Wei Shuyu retorted, "Chen Shuozhen is just a woman, only thirteen or fourteen years old. How could she possibly possess such a vast power?"
"Yes, he didn't."
Wei Zheng nodded: "But that relative of his, Zhang Shuyin, has one!"
"Zhang Shuyin is a member of the Zhang family..."
"The Zhang family of Fuchun enjoys considerable prestige in the Jiangnan region."
"With the support of the Zhang family, the situation in Jiangnan will soon be stabilized."
Wei Shuyu remained silent.
Only then did he understand why Li Shimin had received Chen Shuozhen.
They even tolerated the other side establishing a sect in Chang'an.
This is an attempt to use the other party to deal with Liu Shuyi.
"no!"
Wei Shuyu raised his head and looked at Wei Zheng with an unusually resolute gaze: "This cult is poisoning the people; it cannot be allowed to live!"
"This is just a delaying tactic."
Wei Zheng advised again, "Compared to the peace and tranquility of the entire Tang Dynasty, the mere Chen Shuo is tolerable."
"Once Jiangnan is pacified, His Majesty will deal with her himself!"
Wei Shuyu raised his head and looked at Wei Zheng with disbelief...
"father."
"The Holy Spirit Cult is developing at an extremely rapid pace. Just look at the people around Chen Shuozhen..."
"In just a few days, so many people have been misled and even dared to confront our Wei family. Do you know what this means?"
"If they dare to storm the Prime Minister's residence today, they'll dare to rebel tomorrow!"
Wei Zheng frowned.
He glanced outside, then lowered his voice and said...
"How could I not know this?"
"But there's nothing we can do."
"Do you think His Majesty only lets Chen Shuozhen go for this one reason?"
"Actually, there's another reason..."
Wei Zheng shook his head helplessly: "Chen Shuozhen is very likely connected to the mastermind hiding in the palace..."
Um?
Wei Shuyu's face darkened.
"She's only been here a few days and she's already hooked up with the mastermind behind it all?" Wei Shuyu said in a deep voice.
"That's right!"
Wei Zheng nodded affirmatively.
"How can you be sure?" Wei Shuyu asked.
"because……"
Wei Zheng stepped forward, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Among all the civil and military officials, none dare to deal with my Wei family in private!"
"Not to mention the King of Shu, even His Majesty wouldn't dare to use underhanded tactics against my father!"
Well……
Wei Shuyu remained silent.
"Dad, you're narcissistic."
"You brat."
Wei Zheng's eyes widened: "The most powerful force in the court right now is the aristocratic clans, followed by Changsun Wuji."
"You criticize Changsun Wuji all day long, but have you seen him resort to underhanded tactics?"
Wei Shuyu thought about it.
Too……
Changsun Wuji's nickname is "Old Schemer".
If things don't work in the court, they'll naturally try to trip them up outside of it.
However, he would never resort to underhanded tactics against the Wei family.
“Father, I understand,” Wei Shuyu replied earnestly.
Wei Zheng stroked his beard, revealing a look of "this child is teachable."
"But Chen Shuozhen still must be executed!"
Huh?
Wei Zheng's hand, which was stroking his beard, trembled.
So you didn't listen to a single word of what your father said?
"Shuyu!"
Wei Zheng shouted, "This concerns the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and you cannot act recklessly!"
Pfft.
Upon hearing this, Wei Shuyu couldn't help but laugh.
"father."
Wei Shuyu looked at Wei Zheng with a strange expression: "You and His Majesty wouldn't have been fooled by a little girl, would you?"
Um?
Wei Zheng flicked his sleeve and said, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
Don't be angry.
Wei Shuyu looked at Wei Zheng with a teasing expression: "Then let me first talk about the mastermind behind this."
"If you were the mastermind, would you actively befriend a farmer from the countryside?"
"And this is a young woman."
this……
Wei Zheng was taken aback.
He probably knew what Wei Shuyu was going to say.
"Really?"
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Then let me ask one more question..."
"Even if the person behind the scenes really wanted to use Chen Shuozhen."
"But Chen Shuozhen has only been in Chang'an for a few days. Do you think the person behind the scenes will show up in person?"
Wei Zheng was stunned.
I still can't.
If they had revealed their true colors so easily, Li Shimin wouldn't have been unable to find out until now.
"Then there is the Zhang family of Fuchun."
Wei Shuyu continued with a smile, "If you were the head of the Fuchun Zhang family, would you change the course of the war because of a little girl you don't even know?"
I still can't!
How could such a massive war be changed because of a little girl!
Wei Zheng's face turned slightly red.
He never imagined that he and His Majesty would actually be fooled by a little girl.
"And the most important point..."
Wei Shuyu looked at the timid people who were taking a detour in the distance.
A determined glint flashed in his eyes.
"Father, have you forgotten what you just said?"
Wei Zheng suddenly froze.
Wei Shuyu continued to tell his story...
"Cults incite people, swindle money, and distort people's thoughts..."
"You just promised to speak up for the people, and now you want to sacrifice them..."
Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Wei Zheng's face suddenly darkened.
You brat, you're so rebellious!
*Smack*
Wei Zheng raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
"You dare to lecture me?"
"..."
Wei Shuyu remained silent.
You think I won't dare fight back, right?
But I can talk back!
“Father, you’ve ruined my son and grandson. What’s wrong with me scolding them on their behalf?” Wei Shuyu retorted.
"Um?"
Wei Zheng raised his hand.
Upon seeing this, Wei Shuyu quickly made his escape.
I'm not as stupid as that idiot who just covers his head and looks pitiful after getting beaten up.
"You brat."
Wei Zheng put his hand down and muttered something.
However, his tense mood relaxed after his son said that.
My son is right!
How could a mere woman possibly influence the situation?
Your Majesty is confused...
I was actually fooled by a little girl.
"Are you done talking?"
Chen Shuozhen still wore a saintly smile.
"Um."
Wei Shuyu responded with a cold expression.
"Can we go now?" Chen Shuozhen asked calmly.
"no!"
What?
Everyone was shocked.
The old farmer, as if his tail had been stepped on, roared angrily...
“Wei Shuyu, the Holy Spirit Sect is appointed by His Majesty.”
"You have no right to dispose of us!"
Wei Shuyu glanced at him.
No words were spoken...
He then turned to Choi Shin-ki: "Give me the knife!"
ah?
Choi Shin-ki was glaring at the other person with a snarl.
Upon hearing Wei Shuyu's words, he instinctively handed over the knife...
The Sirius incident is over!
Wei Shuyu was already able to use some of his strength.
There's no need to pretend to be sick anymore!
He walked step by step toward the old farmer...
"Cults mislead the people, spread heretical ideas and fallacies, and undermine the stability of the country!"
"According to the Tang Code, this is considered a crime of unorthodox doctrine and should be punished by beheading!"
Pfft.
With a swift movement, the knife fell.
The old farmer's head rolled several times on the ground before finally stopping at Chen Shuozhen's feet.
A touch of crimson had already stained the pure white skirt.
