Chapter 363 Wei Duidui's technique failed again.
The Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin looked at the people in front of him with a strange expression.
Buyeo Ui-ja was beaten until his head was swollen like a pig's head.
Choi Shin-ki and his friends shrank back, looking as timid as little chicks.
“Fuyu Yici earnestly requests His Majesty the Tang Emperor to make the decision.”
Fuyu Yija covered his swollen cheek and said, "I only accidentally broke a piece of porcelain, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty beat me up!"
"Is this how the Tang Dynasty treated its guests?"
Li Shimin did not respond.
Let's turn our attention to our friends...
"His Majesty."
Fang Yi'ai raised his head and said arrogantly, "I did it, so punish me if you want."
That's bold.
Li Shimin ignored him.
Then he turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling.
You decide for yourself.
"Rebellious son!"
Fang Xuanling roared, "Today, your father will beat you to death, you unfilial son!"
Fang Xuanling grabbed the ivory tablet in his hand and swung it at Fang Yi'ai.
Fang Yi'ai was terrified.
He involuntarily took a step back.
And his retreat...
He just happened to step on Choi Shin-ki.
Choi Shin-ki gently pushed her into Fang Xuanling's arms again.
Then he looked up at the roof of the palace with an expression that said, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Your Majesty, stop acting!"
Buyeo Uija rebuked, "I represent Baekje."
"If the Great Tang does not give a satisfactory answer today..."
"Baekje will not submit!"
Li Shimin remained silent.
The Tang Dynasty was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
If not handled properly, it may cause dissatisfaction among other countries.
"What explanation do you want?" Li Shimin finally spoke.
Fu Yu Yi Ci slowly raised his hand, pointing at Fang Yi Ai, who was being spanked by Fang Xuan Ling: "He's dead!"
Um?
Fang Xuanling paused in slapping his son's hand.
He then threw Fang Yi'ai to the ground with a thud.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
Fang Xuanling stepped forward.
He exudes a sharp and piercing aura.
He's always been a nice guy, but he can be terrifying when he gets angry.
Fang Xuanling, Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Buyeo Uija showed no fear and boldly said, "I know you have a high status in the Tang Dynasty, but I am the Crown Prince of Baekje. Your son beat me in public, which is an act of damaging the friendship between our two countries."
A cold glint flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes.
Due to his personality, he lacked Wei Zheng's eloquence.
Moreover, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he also had to view things from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty.
No matter how angry you are, all you can do is... reason with the other party!
"I've heard what happened."
Fang Xuanling frowned and argued, "You were the one who started the trouble first."
"The child may have been overly strict in enforcing the law, but he did not commit a major offense!"
After speaking, Fang Xuanling thought for a moment.
I believe there is nothing wrong with what I said.
Wei Zheng raised his eyelids slightly.
As expected of Fang Xuanling, those words... were truly 'skilled'.
"I'm causing trouble?"
Fu Yu Yi-ja roared indignantly, "I only broke a piece of porcelain, does that count as causing trouble?"
"Whatever amount he wants, I'll pay it."
"What kind of meaning does it have to be that the Tang Dynasty comes up and beats me up without a second thought?"
"Are you taking advantage of Baekje's lack of talent?"
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
This brat has gotten himself into trouble that's not going to end easily.
Fang Xuanling's mind raced, and he began searching for a breakthrough...
"Yes, Baekje is full of talented people."
Fang Xuanling continued to argue, "How could my son, a mere child, have beaten you?"
How dare you say that?
Fu Yu Yi-ja gritted his teeth: "Just because of a broken piece of porcelain, your son gathered over a hundred people to beat me up!"
Wow.
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
He knows his son's character well; he's absolutely capable of doing something like this.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Tang."
Buyeo Uija turned to Li Shimin and bowed, saying, "I trust the security of the Tang Dynasty, so I brought more than a dozen guards with me when I went out."
"But what about the Tang Dynasty..."
"Not only can they not protect my safety, but they also bully the few with their numbers."
"I would like to ask, was the Tang Dynasty truly a land of etiquette?"
"Is this how the Tang Dynasty treated its guests?"
Fang Xuanling became anxious.
If this blame is placed on him, the reputation of the Tang Dynasty could very well be ruined by his son.
In a moment of desperation, Fang Xuanling blurted out...
He's still young.
"Mistakes can be forgiven."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin felt extremely embarrassed.
You might as well say Fang Yi'ai is an idiot.
At least I can spare him the death penalty.
"Small?"
Buyeo Uija rebuked, "Does being young mean you can do whatever you want?"
"If you dare to admit it, I have nothing to say!"
well.
Li Shimin sighed inwardly.
Xuanling was alright at handling affairs, but his ability to verbally abuse people was truly appalling.
He secretly gave Wei Zheng a wink.
Xuan Cheng, let's go.
If Fang Xuanling relied on himself, he would lose face even more.
However……
Wei Zheng pretended not to see it.
"..."
Xuan Cheng, what do you mean?
Xuanling can't hold on any longer.
Li Shimin gave another wink...
This time, Wei Zheng was even more decisive and simply closed his eyes.
"..."
Damn it.
At the crucial moment, Wei Duidui failed again.
"Xuancheng, do you have anything to say?"
Seeing that Wei Zheng remained silent, Li Shimin had no choice but to call on him by name:
I'm asking you myself, surely you should speak up now.
"His Majesty."
Wei Zheng bowed helplessly and said, "Fang Yi'ai is an official of the Ministry of Commerce. This matter originated from the Ministry of Commerce, so the Ministry of Commerce should give an explanation."
Old Wei is shrewd!
Despite his straightforward personality, Lao Wei knows when to criticize and when not to.
In this situation, it's pointless to criticize.
Believe it or not, even if he resolves this matter today, the Censorate will still impeach the Ministry of Commerce for failing to manage its subordinates properly and for assaulting envoys, among other charges, tomorrow.
Shuyu will have to give it another dressing down then.
Isn't that unnecessary for him?
The best option is for the Ministry of Commerce to handle this matter itself.
In that way, the censors and officials who dared to speak out would have no excuse to launch an attack.
and……
It can also increase Wei Shuyu's influence in the Ministry of Commerce.
How could Lao Wei possibly ruin such a son who brings him multiple benefits?
right!
Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
Even without Wei Duidui, I still have Little Wei Duidui!
If we don't handle this matter well...
I'm going to make things difficult for Little Wei!
“Envoy of Righteousness, please calm down.”
Li Shimin advised, "It was the Ministry of Commerce that attacked you this time. Let me see what the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce has to say."
After saying this, Li Shimin shouted loudly...
"Guards, summon Wei Shuyu to the palace for an audience!"
