Chapter 433 Inviting the Retired Emperor Out of the Palace
"Big pot, big pot..."
The next day.
Choi Shin-ki rushed over in a flurry and slammed open Wei Shu-yu's door.
Hey, where's the big pot guy?
Choi Shin-ki lifted the covers and searched around, but couldn't find Wei Shu-yu.
"Little Shandao, where's the big pot?"
Choi Shin-ki walked outside the door and called out.
If we're talking about who arrives earlier than Choi Shin-ki every day, it has to be Jin Seon-do.
"People from the palace have arrived, and my elder brother is entertaining guests in the living room." Qin Shandao was seriously practicing on the wooden dummy.
living room.
The eunuch arrived at the Wei residence early in the morning and returned Wei Shuyu's official robes and documents.
Also carried was that golden rattan cane.
"Your subject obeys the decree."
Wei Zheng solemnly accepted the imperial edict and the golden rattan cane.
As for the unspoken rules... giving money to eunuchs?
It absolutely does not exist in Lao Wei's family.
We could have just asked His Majesty for it, so why did we have to give him a red envelope?
"I must go to the palace to serve His Majesty, so I will take my leave now," the eunuch said.
"Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Pan."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wei Zheng immediately shouted, "Old Wu, see Eunuch Pan out."
After the eunuch left, Wei Shuyu kept clicking his tongue while holding the golden rattan cane.
Li Er's efficiency is truly remarkable.
However, the quality of this golden rattan cane was simply indescribable...
What's so interesting about it?
Wei Zheng shook his head helplessly: "This is for you."
"I'm just curious..."
Wei Shuyu said with a look of disdain, "I thought His Majesty had really gotten a golden rattan cane, but it turns out to be just this..."
Wei Shuyu picked up the rattan cane and swung it.
Forget about gold, it's not even inlaid with gold...
Chun Chun is just a brass rod.
"Avoid making insinuations."
Wei Zheng put on a stern face: "The Tang Dynasty is short of gold and silver, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"I'm just complaining a bit..."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Once we deal with Japan, the Tang Dynasty will have no shortage of gold and silver."
"Does Japan really have gold and silver mines?" Wei Zheng asked suspiciously.
"It shouldn't be wrong..."
The two were chatting when Choi Shin-ki burst in...
"Big Brother, it's time to go on duty."
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head: "You run around like a madman everywhere you go, do you think this is your home?"
"What if it bumps into my guests?"
Waaah...
Choi Shin-ki covered his head in grievance: "Big brother, it's not that I look down on you, but none of your poor relatives in the Wei family are people I can't afford to offend."
"..."
So the Cui family is all that great, huh?
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head again: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
"Alright, you guys go ahead and get busy."
Wei Zheng picked up the rattan cane: "On your first day back in office, give the Ministry of Commerce a good overhaul."
As he spoke, Wei Zheng took a piece of paper and said, "You can deal with the officials listed here yourself."
"An official from the Ministry of Commerce?" Wei Shuyu asked solemnly.
Wei Zheng nodded.
During Wei Shuyu's absence, in addition to the power struggles among the princes, the officials below him were also corrupt.
Wei Zheng had already recorded it.
Regardless of Wei Shuyu's standing among merchants, he did not hold much sway among officials.
To regain control of the Ministry of Commerce and establish authority is essential!
"Okay, I understand."
After Wei Shuyu took it, he immediately dragged Cui Shenji out the door.
With Qin Shandao bidding them a tearful farewell, the three goods departed once again.
"Big brother, where are we going?"
Seeing that he passed by the Ministry of Personnel without entering, Cui Shenji asked in confusion.
"The Imperial Palace."
What are you going there for?
"Some things still need to be resolved."
Why are you being so mysterious?
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Choi Shin-ki looked at Fang Yi-ai...
"Remains, you've gotten more handsome lately."
"Right? Want to know why?"
Why?
Fang Yi'ai pulled a gold bean from his sleeve and held it up to the sunlight: "Because we're rich now, wahahaha..."
After Wei Shuyu and others stopped keeping the debts, Fang Yi'ai finally had savings.
"Could you let me take a look?"
“No way, these are golden beans, pure gold.” Fang Yi’ai stared at Choi Sin-ki as if he were a thief.
"Remains, you've changed."
"what?"
“You weren’t like this before. You used to be very generous. Even if you were heavily in debt, you would still treat me to a meal.”
"is that so?"
"Yes, now they won't even let me see a single golden bean."
"Here, take a look. Don't lose it."
"Um."
Choi Shin-ki took it and stuffed it directly into his sleeve.
"Aren't you watching?"
"I've finished reading it."
"Then give it back to me."
"We're brothers, talking about money will hurt our feelings!"
"Then you'd better hide it well, this is Princess Shang's money."
"ah?"
“My father saw that I was doing well and said that I should earn the dowry for Shang Gaoyang myself.”
"What a failure you are! You've even lost your official position."
"..."
As they spoke, the two of them looked at Wei Shuyu.
"Big Brother, let's give the remains an official title."
Choi Shin-ki pleaded, "Otherwise, if the remains are used to seduce the princess, we brothers will feel ashamed."
Wei Shuyu stopped in his tracks.
It's been quite some time since Fang Yi'ai was dismissed; it's time to reinstate him.
"The Ministry of Commerce will conduct a cleaning in a couple of days."
Wei Shuyu said to Fang Yi'ai, "You should talk to your father and have him go and talk to His Majesty."
Da'an Palace.
Li Yuan lay in the courtyard sunbathing, utterly bored.
Qiqi has gone home.
The little ones have grown up, and each of them has their own things to do.
Old Li seemed a little lonely again.
"The Emperor Emeritus..."
A eunuch rushed in to announce: "Wei Langzhong, Cui Shenji, and Fang Yi'ai request an audience."
oh?
Li Yuan immediately perked up.
"Let them in," Li Yuan said, then lay back down.
I'm angry that you haven't come to see me for so long!
"Greetings, Emperor Emeritus."
All three goods bowed in unison.
snort.
Li Yuan gave a haughty snort: "You haven't come to see me for so long, have you caused trouble again?"
"..."
Wei Shuyu was speechless: "Your Majesty, I'm going to Qiqi's house."
Oh, right.
Li Yuan slapped his forehead.
I'm getting more and more forgetful.
"Have you eaten? I have some pastries from Jiangnan that were sent as tribute." Li Yuan straightened up and beckoned to the eunuch.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to ask that."
Choi Shin-ki poked his head out and replied, "Bring the food over. Whether I eat it or not, I can take it home."
"You brat."
Li Yuan's eyes widened.
“If I were to bestow a piece of cake upon an ordinary person, it would be as if their ancestors had been blessed with good fortune.”
"You still want to pack up and take it home?"
Why don't you take it and sell it?
Holy crap.
Choi Shin-ki's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, your idea is not bad. Let's split it 50/50. You provide the materials, and I'll provide the labor."
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.
You dare sell the Emperor Emeritus's stuff? You're itching for a fight, aren't you?
"Your Majesty, we have come to invite you to leave the palace."
Wei Shuyu picked up a pastry and tasted it.
I must say, it tastes really good.
He immediately gave Fang Yi'ai a wink.
Fang Yi'ai took out the imperial sack and began to stuff it into it.
"What did you say? Leave the palace?"
Li Yuan stood up in shock: "This beast would agree?"
"The Retired Emperor".
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Your palace has already begun construction, and I've come to invite you to visit it."
"I have already spoken to His Majesty about this matter."
Li Yuan's palace was ultimately located at the site of the Daming Palace.
no way.
That location is perfect for building a magnificent palace.
"Very well, very well! Someone, quickly help me change my clothes!"
