The gate of Wei Mansion.
Wei Zheng was sitting on the steps, reading a book quietly.
When the people coming and going saw it, they pointed and pointed.
The dignified prime minister was sitting on the steps of the gate, and if he told it, he would be laughed at.
"father."
Just as he was watching intently, Wei Shuyu's voice suddenly sounded.
"came back?"
Wei Zheng put down his book: "Were you bullied by King Yan today?"
"No."
Wei Shuyu shook his head stubbornly.
"Still saying no?"
Wei Zheng smiled and said: "In the past, you wouldn't have tricked the other party until you couldn't find the north, south, east, and west?"
"He is the king and I am his minister."
Wei Shuyu explained seriously: "I won't do such a thing."
Yo?
Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows...
Wei Shuyu looked at him with strange eyes.
"Still stubborn?"
Wei Zheng laughed and scolded: "That boy from the Cui family was so angry that he took the dog meat home."
"..."
Wei Shuyu's mouth twitched.
It's because of Choi Shin-ki's style that he didn't run away.
"Sit down for a while."
Wei Zheng patted the steps beside him.
"father……"
Wei Shuyu was about to speak but stopped.
That look seemed to say, don't you feel ashamed?
"What are you afraid of?"
Wei Zheng said nonchalantly: "What did you say when you wore weird clothes before?"
"Ahem..."
At this moment, Lao Wu added in a timely manner: "Will we lose a piece of meat if others point fingers?"
Wei Shuyu was speechless.
Have I ever been so thick-skinned before?
But Lao Wei doesn't care. I, a little imperial censor, don't care.
Wei Shuyu sat down next to Wei Zheng.
"I heard that you haven't been on duty in the past two days?"
"Um."
"Why?"
Wei Shuyu was silent.
"Do you have any grudge against His Majesty?"
Uncle Wei remained silent.
It’s a lie to say there is no hate…
He was busy every day and had made so many contributions to the Tang Dynasty. He would be killed for a mere unfounded crime.
No one would feel comfortable.
"Don't dare to say?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you..."
Wei Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As a father, I also hate Your Majesty, and I'm not young."
"During the Xuanwu Sect incident, Your Majesty killed Prince Yin."
"As a father, I wish I could cut His Majesty into pieces with a thousand knives!"
Wei Shuyu raised his head sharply.
He never expected Wei Zheng to be so straightforward.
"Dad, walls have ears."
Wei Shuyu glanced around.
I found that there were many spies dressed as ordinary people, taking a peek here.
"What are you afraid of?"
Wei Zheng laughed heartily: "As a father, I am not afraid of slanting shadows. It's not like your Majesty doesn't know this."
have to.
I almost forgot that you are Lao Wei.
"Actually, His Majesty has done a very good job."
"Be open to speaking out and accept advice with an open mind..."
"His Majesty's civil and military skills have overwhelmed many emperors!"
"But he is also human..."
"He is afraid of losing imperial power and being replaced. It is normal to have suspicions."
"As ministers, our duty is to assist the emperor and find ways to correct His Majesty's mistakes."
Wei Zheng began to talk.
"Dad, I understand all this." Wei Shuyu replied helplessly.
Everyone knows the truth.
But to actually implement it, the difficulty is not that simple.
"Too."
Wei Zheng laughed and praised: "My son is so smart, how could he not understand this?"
Sudden.
Wei Zheng's smile faded.
He asked with a serious face: "So what are you afraid of?"
Wei Shuyu was stunned.
Afraid?
He himself is not afraid of death.
But he was afraid of hurting the old Wei family.
"Are you afraid that your father will be implicated?"
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, I am also afraid of being a father..."
"As a father, I speak out and give advice. I am always afraid that one day I will cause trouble to you mother and son."
"But there is no way..."
"Compared to ordinary people in Li, being a father is really unbearable..."
Wei Zheng sighed.
The reason why he dotes on his son so much is because he is afraid that one day Wei Shuyu will be implicated because of him.
So he is very protective.
At first, I insisted on giving Shu Yushang a princess, just to prevent future troubles and to find an amulet for my son.
"But don't worry..."
Wei Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "My father has been advising Your Majesty all these years."
"The effect is not bad..."
"His Majesty is becoming more and more broad-minded now, and he will basically not kill everyone at every turn."
Wei Shuyu was stunned.
Taking a detailed look at Li Shimin’s massacre of his entire family, except for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji...
There are almost no other records of Li Shimin's massacre of his entire family.
Of course, there were also times of cruelty. When Li Shimin was conquering the world, he also massacred the city.
However, Li Shimin cherished his reputation and put the blame on Li Yuan.
"Uncle Yu."
Wei Zheng suddenly said solemnly: "With the merits of our old Wei family, as long as we don't rebel, your Majesty will not attack us rashly."
"And with your father here, you don't need to be afraid at all."
"Even if you beat King Yan..."
"As a father, I am sure I can save you!"
Wei Shuyu didn't reply.
He believed in Lao Wei's ability, but he just didn't want to do anything for Li Shimin.
Not to mention the exhaustion.
In the end, he may even end up dead.
Why bother?
Wouldn’t it be nice to earn more money and live happily every day?
"never mind."
As if seeing through his son's reluctance, Wei Zheng changed the subject and said, "Since you don't want to talk more, just go for a walk with your father."
Wei Zheng handed the book to Lao Wu, then stood up and walked away.
Seeing his son still sitting on the steps in a daze, Wei Zheng turned around and said hello.
"What? You can't even go for a walk with dad?"
Wei Shuyu came to his senses.
Follow quickly...
Two figures, one large and one small, strolled along Chang'an Street.
It attracted many people's attention.
It is extremely rare to see the Prime Minister on the street.
But no one came forward...
People still have a natural fear of officials.
"have you eaten?"
When he walked to a stall, Wei Zheng stopped and asked Wei Shuyu.
"not yet."
Wei Shuyu shook his head.
Wei Zheng then greeted the stall owner with a smile: "How is business, little brother?"
The stall owner was frightened and hurriedly saluted and said: "Meng Ge takes care of me, business is okay."
"No need to be so formal."
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "I'll just buy two steamed cakes. My son is growing taller, so I can put more meat in the cakes."
"okay."
Seeing how easy-going Wei Zheng was, the stall owner became bolder.
Wei Zheng took his son to buy steamed cakes from him.
That's the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves.
"What did you see from this stall owner?"
Seeing the stall owner busy, Wei Zheng suddenly asked Wei Shuyu...
Um?
Wei Shuyu took a closer look...
"He added a lot of meat to our steamed cakes?"
Wei Zheng just smiled.
Not much to say…
After paying the money and taking the steamed cake, we continued walking.
The two of them were eating and walking.
There is no image at all.
Suddenly...
A child playing without looking at the road bumped into Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng touched the other party's head without blaming him.
"What did you see from this child?"
Wei Shuyu said nothing.
He seemed to know what Wei Zheng was going to say.
Wei Zheng smiled.
Continue to lead Wei Shuyu forward...
At some point, I walked near Qin Qiong's house.
He didn't visit.
Instead, he went around to the back of the Qin Mansion...
"What did you see here again?" Wei Zheng asked.
Wei Shuyu looked around.
All you can see are disabled people with missing arms and legs.
Immediately my heart sank.
it's easy to see……
These are soldiers who survived the battlefield.
Seeing his son sighing, Wei Zheng said nothing...
Just stood there for a while longer.
Then the two of them continued walking forward.
I don’t know when I came to the slums again.
The common people were all in rags, and when they saw the arrival of Wei Zheng and his son, they all looked frightened.
Still the same sentence...
"What do you see here?"
