Chapter 414 Resisting punishment will be met with severe penalties, and fines will be doubled.
Son of a bitch.
Wei Zheng has tricked us again!
"Get out, get out! I don't want to see you!" Li Shimin said angrily, trying to drive him away.
"Your Majesty, I am on duty!"
Wei Zheng bowed deeply once more: "For the sake of the common people, I am willing to die to remonstrate with Your Majesty..."
"Wei Zheng, believe it or not, I'll have you beheaded."
Even if Your Majesty wants to execute me, I will still speak out…
The two were arguing fiercely.
Wang De knew he could no longer sit idly by.
He immediately stepped forward and said...
"Minister Wei, please don't get agitated."
"In principle, those who are not learned should not interfere in court affairs, but let me speak the truth..."
"Even if you want Shuyu to be reinstated, you have to wait until he comes back."
Wei Zheng thought for a moment.
I think that makes sense.
He immediately bowed to Li Shimin and said, "I humbly request Your Majesty to recall Shuyu."
"Get out, get out! Go and call him yourself if you want!" Li Shimin said dismissively, shooing him away.
"So His Majesty has agreed to reinstate him to his official position?"
Wei Zheng straightened up and replied firmly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will speak to Shuyu. If he dares to utter a single word of dissent, I will break his legs!"
"When did I agree to this?"
Li Shimin glared at him: "Wei bastard, stop falsely conveying the imperial edict!"
"If Your Majesty does not agree, I will stay in this Imperial Study and not leave!" Wei Zheng resorted to shamelessness.
Wang De felt a chill run down his spine.
Seeing Li Shimin stand up, clenching his fists as if about to make a move.
Wang De immediately stepped forward to dissuade him...
"Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart by Wei Shizhong's words."
Bang.
Li Shimin kicked him away, saying, "I won't stoop to his level, but I'll stoop to yours?"
"If you're so capable, then take care of the Ministry of Commerce for me."
Wang De rubbed his buttocks...
What are you doing, taking your anger out on me again?
"Get out of my way, all of you!"
Just then, Li Yuan stormed in, his face contorted with murderous intent.
He was still holding a rattan cane in his hand.
"Everyone get out of the Imperial Study!" Li Yuan roared.
Damn it.
Why is it that every time I'm in a bad mood, you come to my door with a rattan cane right on time?
Fortunately, Li Yuan's arrival successfully forced Wei Zheng to temporarily withdraw.
"You beast."
After everyone had left, Li Yuan slammed the rattan cane onto the table with a bang.
"Father, has your brain disease flared up again?"
After spending some time together, Li Shimin's attitude became more and more casual.
"You're the one with a brain disorder."
Li Yuan slapped the cane with a loud crack: "If you weren't mentally ill, how could you have issued such a brain-dead decree?"
"Do you know..."
"My bonus this month has been reduced by a full 30%!"
Holy crap.
Li Shimin's eyes widened.
This is absolutely unacceptable!
National affairs can be dealt with gradually, but the slush fund must never be depleted.
"Father, rest assured."
Li Shimin's expression was more solemn than ever before: "Your subject will resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"You're talking nonsense about solving problems."
Li Yuan angrily cursed, "If you wait until you resolve this, when will my palace be built?"
"I'm telling you, find Xiao Wei immediately!"
"Otherwise, I'll smash up your Lizheng Palace and leave you nowhere to live!"
And you want me to reinstate Shuyu's official position?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I will absolutely not compromise!
“Father, your grandsons are now in charge of the Ministry of Commerce,” Li Shimin said sternly.
"So what?"
"Do they have money to burn?"
Li Yuan raised his hands to the sky: "As long as I have enough money, they will obediently come to Da'an Palace to pay their respects!"
Well……
That makes perfect sense.
Li Shimin's eyes darted around, and he eagerly stepped forward to help Li Yuan...
"Father, it's no use asking me about this."
Li Shimin said in a low voice, "Why don't you go find your grandsons and tell them not to accept money from Wenyun Pavilion?"
"You bastard."
Li Yuan stepped forward: "You bastard, are you setting a trap for me?"
"I will go find them..."
"You take the benefits, but I'll take the blame?"
"And then you turn around and impeach me for interfering in state affairs?"
"That wicked beast harbors evil intentions and plots against its own father..."
"Look at the rattan!"
*Smack*
Snap snap snap...
After a short while, Li Yuan was escorted out by his guards.
"Wang De, come here!"
Li Shimin rubbed his arm and roared.
Wang De was indecisive and hesitant.
"What are you standing there for? Get back here right now!"
"Your Majesty, you won't take your anger out on me, will you?"
"You bastard."
Li Shimin angrily threw the memorial at him: "Go and get me some medicine for bruises and sprains!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Wang De left in a panic.
Hu County.
Wei Shuyu arrived at full speed on horseback.
The merchants, one by one, rode in their carriages, disappearing far, far away...
"Dismount and pay taxes."
Wei Shuyu was about to enter the city gate when he was stopped by the guards.
"Pay taxes?"
Wei Shuyu's eyes narrowed: "I'm not carrying any goods, so what tax do I need to pay?"
"You can think of it as an entry fee," the soldier said arrogantly.
"How much?" Wei Shuyu asked coldly.
"One coin per person, two coins for carrying a basket, three coins for a horse, and ten coins for a carriage."
Wei Shuyu was so angry he laughed.
He was wondering why there were so many carriages parked at the city gate; now he knew the reason.
"Whose order is this?" Wei Shuyu couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, Prince Yan."
The soldier clasped his hands in a fist salute to the void.
Then, as if realizing something, he said, "You bastard, are you going in or not? If not, get out!"
"We must enter the city, but with your attitude..."
Wei Shuyu waved his hand: "Arrest them all and take control of the city gates!"
bass.
The men behind Wei Shuyu all drew their blades.
"You...you are bandits?"
The soldiers finally panicked: "Are you here to plunder Hu County to start a rebellion?"
"Screw your creation."
Wei Shuyu stepped forward and slapped him to the ground: "I haven't been to Hu County for more than a month, and you don't even recognize me anymore!"
"You...you are Doctor Wei?"
Behind the city gate, a soldier ran forward with a clattering sound.
The moment she saw Wei Shuyu, she immediately burst into tears and roared...
"Dr. Wei, you must do me justice!"
“The Prince of Yan appointed his relatives and abused his power to demote me.”
Wei Shuyu stared at it for a long time.
Only then did he recognize that this was Qian Daniu, the garrison commander of Hu County.
"Summon Li You to the city gate. If he is not there, summon the person in charge that he has appointed."
"Bold."
Another soldier stepped forward: "How dare you address the Prince of Yan by his name!"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu stepped forward and slapped him.
Turning his head, Wei Shuyu looked at Qian Daniu: "Did you hear my order just now?"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Although he was demoted to a lowly soldier, he still retained his former status.
With a wave of his hand, dozens of soldiers immediately surged forth to follow him.
With the addition of the dozens of bandits brought by Wei Shuyu, they were more than enough to take over the city gate.
“Wei Shuyu, you have been dismissed from your post. Are you planning to rebel by taking control of the city gates?” A general rushed over.
"rebel?"
Wei Shuyu sneered: "If you have the guts, go and call in troops to suppress me!"
"If that doesn't work... then squat in the corner and put your hands behind your head!"
"you……"
The general wanted to say something more.
Qian Daniu stepped forward and knocked him down with a punch.
Then he gave her a good beating.
"You keep nagging and complaining. I've been putting up with you for a long time."
After playing for a while, he straightened up...
"From now on, I will take control of the city gates."
"Anyone who dares to resist will be beaten to death."
Wei Shuyu glanced at him.
He has the potential to rebel...
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, control of the city gates had already changed hands.
"You all watch the city gate, I'll go into the city and take a look."
After giving his instructions, Wei Shuyu entered the city alone.
He wants to see...
What kind of mess have these people made of Hu County?
"Wang Fatan, not going to pay the fine?"
I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I heard Choi Shin-ki's hoarse voice.
Wei Shuyu turned his head to look.
Choi Shin-ki, like a bully, held a wooden stick to the other person's forehead.
“Registrar Cui, it really wasn’t me causing trouble.”
The shop owner pleaded, "They're the ones causing trouble in my shop, you can't wrong an innocent person!"
"fart."
Choi Shin-ki glared and roared, "How could our esteemed Shin-ki, with his iron-fisted integrity and unparalleled judgment, possibly wrong you?"
"Look at my wise eyes, do you think I would wrong you?"
Turning his head, Choi Shin-ki said to Fang Yi-ai, "Remains, what was the crime he was charged with again?"
Fang Yi'ai opened the notebook, looked at it, and then spoke...
"Resisting will be met with severe punishment, and the fine will be doubled!"
