Chapter 497 Seeking troops from Li Shimin
Bang.
As soon as Wei Shuyu finished his bow, Li Shimin slammed his hand on the dragon table...
"Wei Shuyu".
"Didn't you swear that Consort Yang was the mastermind behind everything?"
"And now, what's the explanation?"
Wei Shuyu's expression was equally solemn.
He was indeed hasty in this matter; there was really no one in the harem he could doubt.
It's impossible to doubt Empress Zhangsun, is it?
"Your Majesty, it was my oversight."
Wei Shuyu bowed and admitted his mistake, saying, "Consort Yang may have just been used."
"negligence?"
Li Shimin rebuked him sternly: "Do you know that because of your judgment, my father almost lost his life!"
Wei Shuyu remained silent.
There's no denying that.
Moreover, Li Shimin trusted him completely and went to the harem to see Consort Yang.
"I have a general idea of what to do..."
Wei Shuyu bowed and said, "If you send me 2,000 soldiers, I guarantee I will find the mastermind behind this within seven days!"
You bastard!
Li Shimin's eyes widened.
You've already fooled me once, do you think you can fool me a second time?
I think you just want to eat farts!
"Tell me your analysis first..."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and then said.
Recalling how Wei Shuyu found the Imperial Seal of the State, Li Shimin still did not refuse outright.
In some ways, Xiao Wei is quite trustworthy.
"Your Majesty, the mastermind behind this may be hiding in the temple..."
Wei Shuyu immediately recounted Wu Qiqi's analysis.
Then, based on my analysis, I came up with many more possibilities...
"OK."
Li Shimin nodded: "I will have Li Junxian investigate this matter."
"His Majesty!"
Wei Shuyu immediately said, "Li Junxian is straightforward and honest, so he might not be able to find out who is behind this."
"I will have Chang He provide support," Li Shimin said nonchalantly.
"No."
Wei Shuyu retorted, "Uncle Chang is skilled at apprehending criminals, but he's still too careless..."
"Is it alright if I send Zhijie instead?"
Li Shimin's eyes widened.
Anyway, I won't let you lead troops!
In our great Tang Dynasty, can't we find a single person?
"No, no..."
Wei Shuyu immediately retorted, "Uncle Cheng is too famous."
"When he takes action, even the most wicked people cower in their rat holes, making it very difficult to uncover the truth."
Son of a bitch……
Li Shimin gritted his teeth.
So you mean you can't live without me, right?
"Your Majesty, entrust it to me!"
Wei Shuyu volunteered again, saying, "I guarantee that I will find the mastermind within seven days..."
Seeing that Wei Shuyu was determined to do so.
Li Shimin could no longer refuse.
Regardless, Xiao Wei's intentions were good.
"With so many things to do in your Ministry of Commerce, do you have time to spare?" Li Shimin asked.
"OK!"
Wei Shuyu nodded firmly.
The mastermind behind this also poses a threat to the Wei family.
He must find him as soon as possible.
"The Ministry of Commerce is gradually getting back on track. As long as it's not a major issue, the officials below will handle it well," Wei Shuyu replied.
"What about the land of those who rendered meritorious service?"
Li Shimin frowned: "The entire court is watching this matter closely; there is no room for error!"
"this……"
Wei Shuyu grinned and said, "I have already entrusted the Crown Prince with overseeing the construction."
"Your Majesty can rest assured."
"His Highness the Crown Prince will certainly do a better job than I have."
Um?
Li Shimin was stunned.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he hurled the memorial at them...
"You bastard!"
“My son will provide the money and the effort.”
"So you've gotten all the fame and benefits?"
"..."
Wei Shuyu remained silent.
It seems that's really the case.
The key question is, why are you too embarrassed to ask your own son for money?
"Then Your Majesty, please issue another decree..."
"Say that I am too busy to handle this matter and that I should entrust the Crown Prince with full authority over it?"
snort.
That's more like it...
Li Shimin nodded and agreed to the condition.
"Tomorrow you will stand by at the city gate. I will have Chang He lead troops to meet you..."
"Remember, no reckless behavior!"
The next day.
Wei Shuyu was fast asleep in Wei Zheng's study.
The books covered his entire body.
There are some things he needs to verify.
Wei Zheng is in charge of compiling the Book of Sui, which is not yet completed.
However, it contains a large number of records about the Sui Dynasty.
"Big pot, big pot..."
Choi Shin-ki's shouts came from outside the door.
Ordinary people were not allowed to enter Wei Zheng's study.
The gatekeeper risked being beaten by Choi Shin-ki to keep him out of the door.
"Um?"
Wei Shuyu lifted the book that was covering his head.
I groggily glanced out the window and realized it was already daylight.
Creak.
Upon opening the door, they saw Choi Shin-ki bullying his own gatekeeper.
Behind them followed a large group of Imperial College soldiers, who were grinding bricks with great enthusiasm.
What are you doing?
Wei Shuyu was utterly speechless.
Choi Sin-ki alone is troublesome enough, but he's also leading a large army from the Imperial Academy...
"Big Brother, didn't you want to investigate the mastermind behind this?"
Choi Shin-ki stepped forward with a fawning smile and said, "I mentioned it to everyone last night."
"Everyone came to support you without saying a word."
Go to hell.
I went to investigate, and you made it public knowledge?
Snap snap snap...
Wei Shuyu then unleashed an eighteen-shot combo.
"Waaah..."
Choi Shin-ki covered his head: "Why did you hit me, big brother?"
Do you know what a survey is?
Wei Shuyu glared at him fiercely: "With you spreading this far, everyone knows about it. What's the point of me investigating?"
Holy crap.
That makes a lot of sense.
Choi Shin-ki said timidly, "Then why don't we just let them all disperse?"
"Everyone, disperse." Wei Shuyu waved his hand.
ah?
The other kids were immediately unhappy when they heard that.
They all screamed in protest...
"Big brother, please don't! We've finally managed to get out of here once in a while."
"That's right, we are doing our part for the Tang Dynasty."
"My older brother is biased. He only takes Shenji and Yiai with him whenever there's a problem."
You dare to talk back?
Wei Shuyu stepped forward, clenching his fists...
Upon seeing this, the group of friends all took a step back in fright.
"Wei Shuyu".
Just then, Wu Qiqi suddenly appeared and stood in front of the Imperial Academy's army.
She opened her arms wide: "It's just a small token of everyone's appreciation; you can't be so heartless."
The group's eyes lit up, as if they had found a powerful backer.
They all hid behind Wu Qiqi, looking up at Wei Shuyu.
So what if he's the older brother?
We have a sister-in-law!
Dare to hit one of us and see what happens?
Let your sister-in-law deal with you...
"Stop fooling around!"
Wei Shuyu frowned and reprimanded him.
“This is not nonsense.”
Wu Qiqi whispered, "The person behind this won't be easy to find. The Imperial Academy's army can lure her out."
Um?
Wei Shuyu glanced at his companions.
That's certainly possible...
When they were searching for the Imperial Seal, the person behind it all was determined to capture them alive at all costs.
With such a large group of sons of noble families, it would be strange if the people behind the scenes weren't tempted.
Controlling a nobleman often means controlling a powerful force.
"No, that's too risky."
Wei Shuyu waved his hand in refusal.
He's good at protecting a few people.
He can't protect so many people.
If any of our friends encounters an accident, it will cause turmoil.
"We will protect ourselves."
Wang Xiu stepped forward, swiftly unfolding his folding fan, his elegant demeanor resembling that of a handsome and cultured young gentleman.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
"You can't even withstand one of my fingers, and you dare to claim you're protecting yourself?"
Wang Xiu covered his head, gasping for breath.
Not everyone's head is like Choi Sin-ki's, having endured countless beatings.
In terms of durability...
If Choi Shin-ki claims to be second, then no one dares to claim to be first.
"Big brother, everyone has guards."
Choi Shin-ki stepped forward and said, "Ten guards per family should be enough to protect themselves."
Didn't it hurt you?
Wei Shuyu raised his hand, and Cui Shenji was so frightened that he quickly slipped behind Wu Qiqi.
"Get back to the Imperial Academy and study!"
Wei Shuyu rebuked him sternly.
Seeing that Wu Qiqi was pleading for mercy again, Wei Shuyu was the first to rebuke her, "If you dare to instigate them again, you don't need to go anymore."
ah?
Wu Qiqi covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
He turned to his friends and said, "You should all go back to the Imperial College to study!"
"..."
The group of friends were all dumbfounded.
I never expected you to be like this, Qiqi.
You can't rely on your older brother at all!
Wei Shuyu left the Wei residence with the two rascals and Qiqi, leaving his friends watching anxiously behind...
snort.
You're not taking me along again, are you?
Qin Shandao puffed out his cheeks and said angrily...
"Brother Xiu Xiu, let's go."
"If our older brother won't take us, we'll go by ourselves!"
