Chapter 387 Uncle Yan and Uncle Zhang
Do you think I would have that thought?
A bitter smile appeared on Li Chengyi's handsome face...
"Why can't we have it?" Wei Shuyu retorted.
"Ever since I was old enough to understand things, I've lived like a rat crossing the street, constantly hiding and running away..."
"I can't even see my mother."
"I can only steal a glance from afar occasionally..."
Li Chengyi began to pour out his heart, like spilling beans.
I've been keeping it inside for so long...
Now that he could finally speak his mind, he became quite emotional.
"Sorry, I've talked a bit too much," Li Chengyi said apologetically.
"fine."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple to change this situation. Once you become the emperor, no one will be able to control you."
Um?
Li Chengyi raised his head, then quickly shook his head helplessly...
"Stop testing me."
"Leaving aside whether I would rebel or not, even if I really wanted to rebel, would I tell you?"
Thump.
Wei Shuyu suddenly stepped forward, his entire body radiating killing intent...
"Since you don't want to be emperor, then you have no choice but to die!"
"My father suffered because of you!"
"After much thought, the best way to save my father is to kill you!"
The room fell silent.
"With the world at peace, the people live and work in contentment."
Li Chengyi stood tall and said, "If my death can bring peace to the Tang Dynasty, I will die without regret."
Wei Shuyu stared intently at Li Chengyi, trying to discern whether the other was telling the truth or lying.
"Do you really think so?" Wei Shuyu asked, narrowing his eyes.
"nature."
Li Chengyi smiled and said, "Whether it's me or Chengqian who inherits the throne, isn't it all the same empire belonging to the Li family?"
"I hope you are telling the truth."
Wei Shuyu suppressed his murderous intent: "This way, my father's sacrifice to protect you won't have been in vain!"
"Speaking of which..."
Wei Shuyu's expression immediately turned serious: "How could your identity have been leaked?"
Wei Shuyu was very puzzled.
Seven years have passed, and Li Chengyi has changed drastically.
Given Wei Zheng's cautious nature, he would never leave any evidence against him.
If there's any problem, it must lie with Li Chengyi.
"Well... I don't know either."
Li Chengyi was embarrassed.
He found it quite strange that he was arrested out of nowhere.
"Haven't you encountered anything special?" Wei Shuyu asked, frowning.
Li Chengyi frowned.
Suddenly, it was as if something was remembered...
"If I had to say, there really is such a thing."
Li Chengyi said solemnly, "After visiting Shuyu, a woman came to me."
woman?
Wei Shuyu's pupils contracted.
A face emerges from my heart...
"Was that girl around thirteen or fourteen years old? She was dressed elegantly, but her hands seemed a bit rough?" Wei Shuyu asked.
"right."
Li Chengyi nodded: "When she said she knew Uncle Wei, I chatted with her for a few minutes."
There's no mistake!
Wei Shuyu paced back and forth inside the prison.
I vaguely remember Chen Shuozhen telling me before she died... The Knot of Unity is a matter of life and death for the Wei family!
That might be referring to this matter!
I gave the love knot to Li Ke, so this time it's Li Ke who wants to ruin my Wei family?
A cold glint flashed in Wei Shuyu's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Li Chengyi asked suspiciously, "Do you know that woman?"
"nothing……"
Wei Shuyu snapped out of his daze and regained his composure: "You'll have to bear with this for now. I'll find a way to get you out of here in a few days."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Chengyi shook his head: "If my death can save Uncle Wei's safety, I wouldn't mind..."
"Whatever you want..."
After spending some time in Dali Temple prison, Wei Shuyu left.
Time was of the essence, and he still had many things to do.
"Wei Shuyu, what is your crime for trespassing into the Dali Temple prison?"
But as soon as he stepped out the door, he was blocked by Sun Fujia.
"I have met Sun Shaoqing."
Wei Shuyu clasped his hands in a fist salute, then took out a blank imperial seal: "By order of the Retired Emperor..."
"Don't try to fool people with this."
Sun Fujia remained unmoved: "The decree was not written down at all. If you write it down without authorization, you will be falsely conveying the decree of the Emperor Emeritus, which is punishable by death according to the law!"
"..."
Sure enough, scholars are not so easily fooled.
"Then why don't you come with me to meet the Emperor Emeritus, and we can explain things clearly together?"
Wei Shuyu sincerely invited, "If all else fails, you can also seek help from His Majesty."
Sun Fujia's eye twitched.
Now, every official in Chang'an knows that you're blocked outside Xuanwu Gate.
Taking you to see His Majesty, wouldn't that be exactly what you want?
"Sun Shaoqing."
"I am a fifth-rank official."
"Your Dali Temple has no solid evidence, so you have no right to arrest me!"
Sun Fujia's eyes flickered.
Wei Shuyu was not wrong.
Fifth-rank officials were appointed by His Majesty himself, and even if they were convicted, they had to obtain Li Shimin's permission.
"Fine, you can go..."
Sun Fujia ultimately decided to let them go: "Don't do anything reckless, there's still a chance."
"Thank you, Mr. Sun."
Wei Shuyu clasped his hands in a fist salute and left again.
Then, Wei Shuyu went to several other places...
Time flows on.
Before they knew it, the day for court arrived.
Wei Shuyu dressed in his official robes, carrying his official tablet, and went to court.
It's that familiar Jianfu Gate again.
In the past, Wei Shuyu rose through the ranks, and some officials would even chat with him.
And today... it has become something to be avoided like the plague.
They huddled in a corner, whispering amongst themselves, glancing at Wei Shuyu every now and then.
"Enter Xuanzheng Gate".
Because it was a small assembly.
Therefore, the fifth-rank official position was still ranked last.
Led by the censor, they entered one by one...
"Please wait a moment, Physician Wei."
Just as Wei Shuyu was about to step in, Liu Fan stood up and blocked his way: "His Majesty has decreed that Physician Wei is not required to attend court today."
Swish.
Upon hearing this, all the officials turned around...
"Yeah?"
Wei Shuyu raised his hand: "Do you know what this is?"
"What?"
Liu Fan asked subconsciously.
"That's called a slap!"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu slapped him across the face.
"Wei Shuyu, are you going to defy the imperial decree?"
Liu Fan covered his cheek, his face filled with disbelief.
"Fuck your mother."
Wei Shuyu launched into a tirade of curses.
I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table!
I don't like that kind of flowery stuff!
Li Shimin is going to take down the Wei family, so why should I give him any face?
"I have something to report. If this delays important business, do you think you can take responsibility?"
"And those two old men up ahead..."
Yan Xiangshi and Zhang Xuansu turned around at the same time...
The Grand Counselor was also a fifth-rank official, so he was not far from Wei Shuyu.
"Yes, I'm talking about the two of you."
"Ah? It's Uncle Yan and Uncle Zhang..."
With that, Wei Shuyu bowed to the two men and said, "This junior greets Uncle Yan and Uncle Zhang."
"..."
Yan Xiangshi and Zhang Xuansu's eyes twitched simultaneously.
What kind of trouble is that brat causing now?
"Uncle Yan, Uncle Zhang..."
After straightening up, Wei Shuyu began to ramble on and on...
"You must stand up for me!"
"Your Majesty's banning his subjects from attending court is absolutely outrageous!"
"You have no idea, I have an important matter to report concerning the fate of the Tang Dynasty..."
"His Majesty refused to let me in because of some trivial matter!"
"If this gets out..."
Where is Your Majesty's magnanimity?
Where is justice in the imperial court?
Where is the Tang Dynasty's advocacy of encouraging open communication?
"Uncle Yan, Uncle Zhang..."
"You two are remonstrating officials, why don't you help persuade His Majesty?"
