The next day.
The meeting opens.
Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne with a majestic look on his face...
"My beloved sir, do you have anything else to say?"
Near the end, Li Shimin asked as usual.
Seeing no one responded, and just when he was about to announce his resignation, a guard came to inform him...
"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu would like to see you!"
Yo?
Do you really dare to come?
"Blast out!"
Li Shimin scolded with a straight face: "We are discussing national affairs now, how can a child like him participate in it?"
The ministers couldn't help but raise their heads.
Your Majesty is a bit angry.
"Your Majesty, this may not be possible..." The guard showed a bitter expression.
"Asshole!"
Li Shimin and Long Yan were furious: "You can't even handle this for a little kid, what do you do for food?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu is closely followed by many merchants."
The guard replied bravely: "If we drive them away by force, it may arouse public outrage."
What?
Everyone was shocked.
Leading people to surround the palace is a serious crime!
"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu besieged the palace and begged your Majesty to convict him."
"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu is suspected of treason, please your Majesty to apprehend him!"
"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu is inciting the people, please your Majesty to suppress them."
The ministers were more active than each other.
But Li Shimin's face was particularly gloomy.
"Tell me what Wei Shuyu is here for?" Fang Xuanling stepped forward and asked the guard.
"Wei Shuyu represents the merchants and wants to seek justice from His Majesty."
"I guess... it's probably about Hu County."
snort.
Li Shimin snorted coldly.
What about all the people?
Is it possible that you, Xiao Wei, can see me whenever you want?
"Which lover is willing to drive Wei Shuyu away?" Li Shimin said majestically.
Drive away?
Tai Chi Hall was suddenly silent.
It's okay to chime in with a few words in the court, but forget about driving people away.
As long as Wei Zheng is still there, Xiao Wei will not be finished.
If Wei Shuyu insulted him in front of the people, he would be completely embarrassed.
"Father, I am willing to go!"
Li You immediately came out.
He held a banquet to invite Li Ke and Li Tai, but none of them came to the appointment...
Sure enough...you have to avenge yourself!
"Accurate."
Li Shimin readily agreed: "If there is resistance, I allow you to use the Imperial Guard to suppress it."
"My son, I accept the decree!"
Li You left gracefully.
Xuanwu Gate.
Wei Shuyu stood in front of everyone.
"Wei Shuyu, can you stop being a monster?" Li Junxian was about to cry but had no tears.
"I am here for the Tang Dynasty." Wei Shuyu replied seriously.
"Then can you change the city gate to become a monster?" Li Junxian sighed.
There are so many gates in the palace, why are you staring at my Xuanwu Gate?
Do I, Li Junxian, look easy to bully?
"It's not my fault..."
Wei Shuyu spread his hands and said: "There are only a few gates near Taiji Hall, and the main gate is not allowed to leave. There is only Xuanwu Gate..."
"..."
Li Junxian was tired.
There are so many city gates, why did I choose Xuanwu Gate to be on duty?
"Wei Shuyu, you are so brave."
At this moment, Li You walked out of Xuanwu Gate in a menacing manner.
"Hey, King Yan meets again."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said hello.
snort.
Li You snorted coldly: "According to the emperor's decree, all the people are not allowed to surround Xuanwu Gate."
"We have something to report to Your Majesty." Wei Shuyu replied with a smile.
"Is there no one in the government anymore?"
Li You scolded him with a cold face: "I have to go to my father for trivial matters, but who will handle the major national affairs?"
"I'm sorry, King Yan..."
Wei Shuyu grinned and said, "This is also a national matter for us."
"Don't make a big deal about it."
Li You sneered and said: "You incited the people and gathered people to make trouble. If you don't retreat, don't blame me for suppressing you."
"Hold on……"
Wei Shuyu clapped his hands.
I saw a dozen people carrying a huge drum...
"Have you seen this drum..."
Wei Shuyu walked up to the drum and touched it: "I call it Dengwen Drum!"
Uh-huh.
Li You's expression suddenly changed.
Dengwengu.
Beginning in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, people who had grievances or urgent cases would beat drums to hear the news.
During Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty, Dengwen drums were hung outside the court hall.
In the early Tang Dynasty, it was not suspended.
It was not until the fifth year of Xianqing's reign that someone brought a drum to the court to complain, and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty hung up the Dengwen Drum again outside Yingtian Gate.
"His Royal Highness King Yan..."
Wei Shuyu smiled and clasped his fists: "Please tell me, Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu has a grievance and wants to see the emperor."
"If you have any grievances, go to the government. My father doesn't have time to deal with such a trivial matter like yours!"
Li You is still tough.
I took this job on my own initiative, if I can't do it well...
Not only will it leave an unusable impression in the heart of the father, but it will also be laughed at by all the civil and military officials.
"You can tell me first."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "I think Your Majesty should meet me."
"presumptuous!"
Li You suddenly shouted: "Father has ordered you to leave. If you dare to block Xuanwu's door again, you will all be punished as treason!"
After hearing this, many people were panicked.
But seeing Wei Shuyu still standing in front, their panicked hearts calmed down again.
"Really? You forced me to do this!"
Wei Shuyu took out a drumstick taller than himself from beside the big drum.
Then he looked at Li You: "Are you sure you want me to beat this drum?"
Li You pondered.
What would be the consequences if Wei Shuyu knocked it? Will father blame me?
If I forcibly suppress Wei Shuyu, is this possible?
Just as he was thinking about what to do, Wei Shuyu suddenly said...
"Then I'll knock."
Boom!
A huge sound came out...
"You bastard!"
Li You woke up suddenly: "Who asked you to knock?"
"I thought you were acquiescing by not speaking." Wei Shuyu said innocently.
As he spoke, there was another bang on the drum.
"You bastard!"
Li You jumped up and down in anger.
Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shimin couldn't help but frown when he heard the drum sound...
"Didn't the drums of the Bell and Drum Tower sound just now? Why did they sound again so soon?"
The expressions of the officials suddenly changed.
In addition to telling time, the drums in the Bell and Drum Tower also have two other functions...
Intrusion alert, natural disaster alert!
"Is there an emergency military situation?" Fang Xuanling frowned.
"wrong."
Changsun Wuji shook his head: "This frequency of knocking is not military intelligence."
Intrusion alarms and natural disaster alarms have special knocking sounds that are easy to distinguish.
"Who is beating the drum randomly?" Li Shimin asked calmly.
"This drum sound seems to come from near Xuanwu Gate..." Fang Xuanling looked outside the hall.
"See Your Majesty."
Just as he was guessing, a guard hurried in to report...
"Wei Shuyu was beating a big drum outside Xuanwu Gate."
"He calls it Denwen Drum!"
What?
Li Shimin stood up in shock!
Thousands of people are petitioning for help!
Damn Wei Shuyu...
You want to roast me in the history books.
below.
The drowsy historian was shocked...
It's time to live.
