Chapter 428 Did you ask me, your father, for advice?
Xuanwu Gate.
Li Shimin was still standing on the city wall...
A gust of cold wind swept in, and my nose not only turned red from the cold, but it was also running with snot.
Although the New Year has passed, the chill has not completely dissipated.
But this happened in front of so many people.
Li Shimin still had to put on a dignified appearance.
"Where is Wei Shuyu? Why isn't he here yet?" Li Shimin cursed angrily.
If this continues, I'll catch a cold myself.
"Your Majesty, it's almost done..."
One of Wang De's godson stepped forward and replied.
What do you mean by "soon"?
"If we've arrived, we've arrived; if we haven't, we haven't!"
Li Shimin sensed something was amiss and immediately shouted sternly, "Tell me, what exactly is he up to?"
"..."
Wang De's godson broke out in a cold sweat.
I don't know whether I should tell the truth or not.
"Guards, drag him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane!"
Li Shimin shouted sternly.
You're so cold here that your nose is running, and you still dare to hide it from me?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Wang De's godson knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "It's Wei County Man... he needs to relieve himself."
"..."
It looked as if a flock of crows were flying overhead.
Li Shimin was almost driven mad.
I was actually waiting for Wei to finish taking a dump?
The historians were dumbfounded.
Should I remember this or not?
Wait a minute, it seems that no other historians have recorded this kind of juicy gossip...
If I record it myself, wouldn't that make it an exclusive topic?
Wow, not bad!
The historian immediately began to write furiously.
The freezing cold cannot stop my passionate heart!
"Hurry up, go and urge them for me!"
Li Shimin roared, "If Wei Shuyu isn't here within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, then he doesn't need to come at all!"
"promise."
Wang De's godson had just gotten up when he saw Wang De jogging towards him.
Wei Shuyu was following behind him.
"Your Majesty, they've arrived..."
Wang De shouted as he ran.
"Your subject Wei Shuyu greets Your Majesty," Wei Shuyu said, bowing.
snort.
Li Shimin snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to Wei Shuyu.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here in such a hurry?"
Seeing that Li Shimin did not answer, Wei Shuyu had no choice but to ask the question himself.
I can't keep bending over like this.
"Shuyu".
Seeing that Li Shimin was throwing a tantrum, only the good-natured Fang Xuanling could step in: "Do you still want to be the physician in the Ministry of Commerce?"
"In no mood."
Wei Shuyu refused very readily.
Um?
These words shocked all the ministers.
The position of Director of the Ministry of Commerce, which they had schemed so hard to obtain, was simply rejected by Wei Shuyu.
Even Li Shimin showed a look of astonishment.
"Why?" Fang Xuanling also frowned.
"What's so good about a physician in the Ministry of Commerce?"
Wei Shuyu counted on his fingers and said, "They get up early and go to bed late."
“Every day, I had to come up with ideas and strategies, and I also had to face attacks from civil and military officials.”
"I rack my brains every day to get things done, and yet His Majesty still makes things difficult for me."
"I am the eldest son of the Duke of Zheng. I can lie down and eat and drink without worrying about anything every day. Why should I work hard?"
Holy crap.
That makes a lot of sense.
"The official in the Ministry of Commerce has power," Fang Xuanling tempted.
What's the use of power?
Wei Shuyu retorted, "Wouldn't the court officials still criticize me if they wanted to?"
"I'd rather use that energy to make the retired emperor feel comfortable; that's true tyranny!"
"..."
You're the only one who can make flattery sound so high-sounding.
But when I think about it, it actually makes a damn good point.
"You bastard."
Li Shimin rebuked him, saying, "How can a man have no ambition at all?"
"I have some."
Wei Shuyu pursed his lips: "But Your Majesty, didn't you dismiss me?"
"..."
Li Shimin was speechless.
"Shuyu, if the court reinstates you, would you be willing to continue serving as the Vice Minister of Commerce?" Fang Xuanling asked patiently again.
"this……"
Wei Shuyu was in a dilemma: "Actually, I want to be an official, but I don't want to do this job..."
Go to hell.
Where can you find such a good deal? Please tell us about it.
"You bastard."
Li Shimin then shouted, "You still say you have ambition?"
"I do..."
Wei Shuyu pursed his lips: "But he was still dismissed by His Majesty."
"..."
Li Shimin's veins bulged.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was watching, he would have personally stepped in and given Xiao Wei a good beating.
The people below the city wall could not hear their conversation, but they could tell from Li Shimin's face that Wei Shuyu had angered him again.
Immediately, one by one, they began to loudly persuade them...
"Your Majesty, Physician Wei is young and has a quick temper. If he offends you, please don't be angry."
"I hope Your Majesty will be lenient and forgive Physician Wei this time."
"I humbly request Your Majesty to reinstate Wei Langzhong to his official position!"
"Doctor Wei, don't be stubborn. His Majesty is magnanimous. If you say a few kind words, he will pardon you."
The merchants began to shout one by one.
Li Shimin's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this.
Is it because I'm unwilling to forgive? It's clearly this brat who doesn't know his place and keeps irritating me!
“Wei Shuyu, since you don’t want to continue in this position, go and talk to them yourself…”
Fang Xuanling sighed.
A forced relationship will not be sweet.
Officials are concerned with the interests of the country.
They cannot force a negative person to take on this role.
If something goes wrong, no one can predict the consequences.
"oh."
Wei Shuyu walked to the city wall and looked down at the dense crowd of people below, his heart filled with mixed emotions...
He does want to do things to improve the people's well-being.
but……
The emperor's power was supreme, and he could dismiss his father at the drop of a hat.
snort.
I'm angry.
I'm quitting.
"Gentlemen, your sentiments..."
He cleared his throat, just as he was about to offer some words of advice.
A chilling aura suddenly appeared behind me...
Wei Shuyu turned around subconsciously and saw Old Wei staring at him with a gloomy expression.
"Father...why did you appear behind me without a word?"
Bang.
Wei Zheng raised his leg and kicked Wei Shuyu aside.
Dismissal from office?
Quitting?
Did you ask me, your father, for advice?
"You can all rest assured."
Wei Zheng went up to the city wall and shouted to the people below, "Shuyu will be reinstated as a physician, and I will definitely plead with His Majesty on his behalf."
Holy crap!
Li Shimin was startled!
How could I have forgotten about this...
I control Old Wei, and Old Wei controls Little Wei.
Damn it, that was a miscalculation.
When Wei Shuyu filed a complaint with the Emperor, I simply let him out and gave him a beating, and then nothing happened.
"Cough cough..."
Li Shimin coughed twice: "Xuancheng, what did Shuyu just say? Does he not want to serve the country?"
How can we tolerate something like this?
"He's not my son. If he were, I would have given him a good spanking!"
Li Shimin spoke with righteous indignation.
The assembled officials rolled their eyes upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty is right..."
Wei Zheng bowed to Li Shimin and said, "When I return, I will certainly deal with Shuyu properly and make him repent."
"Um."
Li Shimin nodded.
"Your Majesty, do you know the official title of Shuyu?" Wei Zheng asked again in a low voice.
"An official position is not unacceptable..."
Li Shimin's eyes darted around.
Xiao Wei is not a proper subject. If we don't teach him a lesson today, he might sue me again later.
No, I must cut off his escape route.
"Xuancheng..."
Li Shimin said earnestly, "This Shuyu has become increasingly disobedient lately."
"Look at you, not only are you dismissed from office, but you're also going to file a lawsuit against me..."
Do you think he should have been hit?
Wei Zheng nodded.
Indeed, appealing to the emperor is an option.
The key was to capture Li Shimin's entire family in one fell swoop.
At least save His Majesty some face...
"Then what do you think we should do if Shuyu continues to act recklessly in the future?" Li Shimin asked again.
"I will teach him properly."
Wei Zheng bowed and said, "I guarantee he will never do it again."
ensure?
With you being so protective of your own, what good are your promises?
"Cough cough..."
Li Shimin coughed slyly: "Actually, I think that simply teaching isn't always effective. As the saying goes, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child...'"
"I hereby bestow upon you a golden rattan cane."
"If he commits this offense again, I will order you to punish him, and you must punish him!"
Holy crap.
Using my father to pressure me?
You despicable and shameless Li Er, you are not fit to be a ruler!
