Chapter 380 The City That Never Sleeps
Time flies.
Lunar New Year's Eve arrived quickly.
Starting today, the curfew and alcohol ban in Chang'an will be lifted, and the city will be brightly lit for three days and three nights!
"Big pot, big pot..."
Early in the morning, Choi Shin-ki ran in wearing a brand-new red robe.
"Why did you come here again instead of staying home on New Year's Eve?"
Wei Shuyu was utterly speechless.
"Brother, I am an official appointed by the imperial court."
Choi Shin-ki said with a serious expression, "Today is an important day for the Ministry of Commerce, and I must stay at my post!"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.
Speak like a human.
"..."
Choi Shin-ki covered his head and said, "What's so great about the New Year? It's exhausting to kowtow to elders all day long."
Wei Shuyu chuckled to himself.
Only then did he realize that Choi Shin-ki was the eldest son of the Choi family.
The Cui clan of Qinghe has so many members.
It would be quite tiring to greet them one by one.
"You sneaked out, won't your father beat you?" Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.
"Even if I don't run out, he'll still hit me."
Go to hell.
This reply left me speechless.
"Alright."
Wei Shuyu originally wanted to wish Wei Zheng a Happy New Year in advance.
But since Lao Wei had guests today, Wei Shuyu didn't go to disturb them.
Chang'an was brightly lit for three days and three nights, and he was still needed to oversee these matters.
"Wei Shuyu!"
Just as I stepped outside, Wu Qiqi came running up.
Behind her, the eunuchs struggled to keep up, carrying large and small bags.
"Oh, Qiqi, you're here."
Choi Shin-ki was very happy.
Today, with no remains left, there's no one to share the firepower with.
"yes."
"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to wish Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei a Happy New Year in advance."
After saying this, Wu Qiqi hurriedly led the eunuch into the Wei residence.
After waiting for a while, Wu Qiqi came out.
Let's go.
Wu Qiqi asked excitedly, "Where are we going today? I heard the entire Chang'an region is offering free food and drinks?"
"You've come to the right person."
Choi Shin-ki raised his head: "This was something I and the big boss spearheaded, let me tell you..."
Throughout the journey, Choi Shin-ki kept chattering away.
Wei Shuyu would occasionally chime in with a few "uh-huhs" or "ohs".
By the way...
He smacked Choi Shin-ki on the head.
As they were chatting, Wei Shuyu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Big brother, why aren't you leaving?" Choi Shin-ki asked in confusion.
Following Wei Shuyu's gaze, a well-dressed man was giving instructions to a soldier.
Li Ke!
Wei Shuyu couldn't help but think of the pair of love knots.
He studied it many times but found nothing strange.
"Greetings, King of Shu!"
Wei Shuyu bowed to Li Ke.
"Oh? It's Uncle Yu."
Li Ke turned around with a smile on his face: "You've really made a big fuss about this, even I have to come and assist you."
"Start?"
Wei Shuyu was a little puzzled.
"yes."
Li Ke replied with a smile, "Chang'an was brightly lit for three days and three nights. My father ordered me to maintain order."
Wei Shuyu suddenly realized.
I just didn't expect Li Shimin to send Li Ke.
"King of Shu, Chen Shuozhen asked me to give you something before she died," Wei Shuyu said directly.
Swish.
Li Ke's face immediately darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "I have nothing to do with her anymore."
Wei Shuyu's eyes flickered.
Chen Shuozhen ultimately misplaced her trust.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Qiqi said angrily, "Although Chen Shuozhen committed a capital crime, she did not wrong you..."
Li Ke remained expressionless.
How could he not know?
But he was Li Shimin's son!
You must never have any further contact with the demoness, otherwise...
"Stop talking."
Wu Qiqi wanted to say a few more words, but Wei Shuyu stopped her.
"No, the King of Shu is too heartless."
"I'm going to tell the Emperor Emeritus and have him beat him up!"
Wu Qiqi replied stubbornly.
"They're gone."
Upon seeing this, Wei Shuyu grabbed Wu Qiqi by the collar and lifted her up with a gentle pull.
Wu Qiqi's feet were dangling in the air, like an ostrich.
"Wei Shuyu, let me go!"
Wu Qiqi struggled, saying, "This is so embarrassing..."
Wei Shuyu ignored him.
He turned to look at Li Ke: "I'll have someone bring that to you later."
Then, ignoring what Li Ke said, Wei Shuyu turned around and left with Wu Qiqi in his arms.
"Big Pot, a true man!"
Choi Shin-ki roared.
Suddenly, as if realizing something, he quickly chased after her, calling out, "Big Brother, wait for me!"
Watching Wei Shuyu's departing figure, a strange light flickered in Li Ke's eyes.
Finally, it all turned into a sigh...
"Order that ten men be formed into small teams and deployed to various streets and alleys throughout Chang'an!"
at the same time.
Wei Shuyu led Wu Qiqi into another alley.
"Wei Shuyu".
Wu Qiqi blushed and said, "We've gone so far, why aren't you letting go of me?"
Snap.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Shuyu let go of his hand.
Wu Qiqi almost fell to the ground.
Just as Wu Qiqi was about to lash out, Wei Shuyu cut her off...
"Your lower body is unstable; you need to practice more."
"..."
Is it because my lower body is unstable?
You're the one who's too violent!
"Wei Shuyu, I'm going to tell Uncle Wei that you bullied me!" Wu Qiqi shouted.
"..."
Wei Shuyu paused in his steps: "Actually, it's possible that I didn't control my strength well."
uh-huh.
Wu Qiqi raised her head proudly.
If you dare to bully me, I'll have Uncle Wei deal with you.
"Qiqi..."
Just then, Choi Shin-ki popped up again: "Aren't you curious why Chen Shuo-zhen's belongings are in the big pot?"
Um?
Wu Qiqi's eyes immediately turned sharp.
When she turned around, Wei Shuyu was nowhere to be seen...
Where are they?
Wu Qiqi looked at Cui Shenji: "Where's your older brother?"
ah?
Choi Shin-ki searched thoroughly and then asked, "Yeah, where's the big pot?"
"Qiqi, don't worry."
Choi Shin-ki said confidently, "You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple..."
"The big pot will have to go home sooner or later!"
Thump.
Wu Qiqi stepped on Cui Shenji's foot.
"It's all your fault, why did you have to bring up Chen Shuozhen?"
"I finally managed to get out of here, and you've ruined it again."
"..."
Choi Shin-ki was in so much pain he was jumping up and down.
Is this a strange doll?
I'm telling the truth.
"You two, go."
Wei Shuyu's voice suddenly came: "Don't get sold out later."
"Wei Shuyu".
Wu Qiqi immediately smiled and chased after him.
The Ministry of Personnel.
After several discussions by the imperial court, the Ministry of Commerce was officially merged into the Ministry of State Affairs.
As a result, the number of parts was changed from six to seven!
in……
Due to the unique nature of the Ministry of Commerce (the reason Li Shimin invested in it).
For the time being, Li Shimin will directly govern it!
At this time, Wei Shuyu was handling official business at the Ministry of Commerce.
Chang'an will be brightly lit for three days, and all officials must fully cooperate!
Officials of all ranks were coming and going, keeping them very busy.
Choi Shin-ki stood to the side...
Serving tea and water, handing out orders, she also doubles as a secretary.
When encountering an official they dislike, they arrogantly utter a few defiant words...
Wu Qiqi dozed off on the table.
Until night falls...
"Dr. Wei, it's almost time," an official suddenly reminded him.
Swish.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the door.
"good."
Wei Shuyu put down the paper in his hand.
He then got up and walked to the front door...
Outside the gate, dozens of officials and soldiers were waiting for orders.
"Pass on the order..."
"Beat the drums! Light the lamps!"
"From this moment forward, Chang'an will have a new title... The City That Never Sleeps!"
