night.
Wei Shuyu and his friends gathered for a meal at Cuiyunju.
Money was earned and fights were fought.
Why don't you give me a treat?
After the dinner, Wei Shuyu returned to the Wei Mansion leisurely with a toothpick in his mouth.
"stop!"
As soon as he entered the door, Wei Zheng's majestic voice came.
"Dad, have you eaten?"
Wei Shuyu lifted the basket in his hand: "I packed this specially from Cuiyunju. There are roast chicken, crucian carp... and your favorite vinegar and celery."
Wei Zheng's expression softened a lot, but he still asked again: "Are you fighting again today?"
"I didn't hit anyone."
Wei Shuyu walked into the room and brought out bowls of food: "They are the ones who are causing trouble for me. I am acting in self-defense!"
snort.
Wei Zheng snorted coldly: "If you usually restrain yourself, will others cause trouble for you?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Wei Shuyu took out another pot of wine and poured Wei Zheng a glass.
"Try it, this wine tastes good."
Then he said: "How can you be restrained when asking for orders for the people?"
"If I take half a step back today, others will take advantage of me tomorrow."
"Dad, you are in the court, can you give in more than half a step?"
Wei Zheng was stunned.
What my son said makes sense...
"Stop fighting in the future."
Wei Zheng took a sip of wine and his eyes suddenly lit up: "If we really want to fight, let Shen Ji do it. He has a tough head and a tough background..."
"Okay."
Wei Shuyu agreed without talking back.
Little Jiji couldn't beat him, so he came to me.
If he can beat me, he doesn’t need my orders...
"I'm going back to rest first."
Wei Shuyu had already eaten at Cuiyunju, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Wei Zheng again.
"etc……"
Wei Zheng suddenly said: "Don't go out for the next two days. Go to court the day after tomorrow, sort out your words, and think about how to protect Dengshan."
Wei Shuyu frowned.
He also saw the attitude of the Hejian County Prince's Palace today.
Chu Suiliang must be killed!
It is not unusually difficult to protect Chu Suiliang...
"Dad, what do you think of Hua Shu?"
Wei Shuyu couldn't help but sit down and listen to the teachings.
"Um."
Wei Zheng ate his food slowly, and he was quite satisfied with his son's attitude.
"If there is a dispute in the court, we must argue with reason."
"But when you encounter situations where the father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right, and neither party can convince the other, do you know what to do?"
Wei Shuyu frowned and thought deeply.
I can't figure out the key...
"Cheng Yaojin knows."
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Even though everyone calls him a fool, he is not stingy, but he is really good at it."
"For many policies that cannot pass, he can play a vital role by interfering with them."
Wei Shuyu nodded.
I probably understand the meaning.
"Understood?"
"Roughly the same."
"Then what should you do if the other party muddies the waters?"
"this……"
Wei Shuyu was dumbfounded.
It turns out that this is the point.
Li Xiaogong wanted to kill Chu Suiliang because he wanted to act rogue.
Many generals like to do this.
They had made outstanding contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin would not really punish them severely.
"Dad, please stop being so secretive and just tell me, okay?"
Wei Shuyu filled another glass for Wei Zheng.
"Um."
Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Isn’t this the sense of accomplishment that comes with it?
"If you want to deal with rogue people, there are two ways..."
"First, more rogue than them."
"Secondly, it gives them no chance to cheat."
"First of all, if you want to be more rogue than them, the easiest way is to put a big label on them. The bigger the better, so that they don't dare to act rogue."
"The second point is to convince His Majesty to issue the decree!"
"Take this Dengshan incident as an example..."
"Your Majesty pardons Deng Shanhou, so the Hejian County Prince will not dare to attack him."
Wei Zheng was interrupted by Wei Shuyu just in the middle of his words.
"I understand."
Wei Shuyu said: "After being pardoned, Chu Suiliang became an official of the imperial court."
"King Hejian County's killing of the suspect can only be considered an extreme act."
"It is a serious crime to kill an official of the imperial court..."
"Even if he has great achievements... His Majesty will not punish him, and all the civil and military officials will not let him go!"
Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
As expected of us, look at this idea, how clear and flexible it is?
There is no use talking in court.
You also need reaction speed.
Facing all kinds of difficult problems, we must find the flaws sharply and then launch a fierce counterattack!
"So how do you think Dengshan should be preserved this time?"
Wei Zheng took a sip of wine and asked with a smile.
How to protect it?
Wei Shuyu is really a bit of a Muggle.
If you want Li Shimin to issue an edict to pardon Chu Suiliang, you have to have a reason to convince the public, right?
He didn't even understand the situation in Liangzhou, how could he convince Li Shimin?
"Dad, please try this chicken leg. Xiaojiji and the others are rushing to get it, but I don't even give it to you. I kept it specially for you."
Wei Shuyu diligently picked up a chicken leg and pushed it into Wei Zheng's bowl.
Yes, Not Bad.
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
"This goes back to the topic just now... No one is convinced by anyone!"
"And in this case, it can only be a simple quarrel."
Wei Zheng said leisurely.
"What?"
Wei Shuyu's eyes widened: "Dad, are you serious? That's the court!"
"What happened to the court?"
Wei Zheng asked back: "When there is no conclusion, this is the only solution."
"..."
Wei Shuyu felt numb.
This court is a bit unruly.
"The quarrel... will His Majesty agree to pardon?"
Wei Shuyu asked again.
"Why not?"
Wei Zheng glanced at his son and said with a smile: "If you scold everyone in the court to shut up, your Majesty will have no choice but to agree?"
"Of course, quarreling is not just a random quarrel."
"The reason I asked you to prepare your words is because it's more difficult to argue!"
"When there is no evidence to prove Dengshan's innocence, the requirements for speaking skills are even higher."
"..."
Why are you scolding me like this...
"Then what should I prepare?"
Wei Shuyu thought for a while and said, "Dad, can you just go up?"
Wei Zheng's eyes widened: "You think it's easy to quarrel, but you've been standing in the court for a whole day without even a chance to drink water."
"I'm tired of scolding my father. Can't you step in and let me take a rest?"
"..."
Wei Shuyu was dumbfounded.
Your reason is so strong that I can't even find a reason to refute it.
Wouldn't it be unfilial to deny dad a break?
"I will try my best……"
Wei Shuyu bit the bullet and agreed.
"Remember, you can't lose the momentum of an argument!"
"I know."
"You have to be reasonable in your quarrels, otherwise others won't shut up."
"good."
"When you can't argue, you have to learn to change the subject, or start from another aspect."
"clear."
Wei Shuyu hurried away.
Old Wei kept nagging him endlessly, and even his own son couldn't stand it!
Seeing his son running away, Wei Zheng couldn't help but smile.
His nose moved slightly and he looked at the dishes on the table.
My son is somewhat filial!
At this moment, Wei Shuyu's voice came to my ears...
"Mom, it's time to eat. Dad has finished all the food by himself."
"..."
Wei Zheng's hand holding the vegetables paused in the air.
You bastard, don’t pay attention to your house for three days!
Snapped.
Wei Zheng slammed his chopsticks on the table.
Then he picked up a bowl of chicken soup and hurried out the door...
"Madam, come and try it. This is the chicken soup I specially prepared for you."
