Dong dong dong...
Just then, drums sounded again outside.
"Asshole."
Li Shimin's expression suddenly darkened.
It's okay if one person files a petition, but he won't be able to handle it if another one comes.
"See Your Majesty."
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Junxian ran in.
"What's going on outside?"
Li Shimin asked displeasedly: "Who wants to beat the drum to complain?"
"They are merchants, common people..."
Li Junxian cupped his fists and replied, "It's already lunch time. They were worried about Wei Shuyu's safety and couldn't wait to beat the Dengwen drum."
Li Shimin suddenly became gloomy.
He never imagined that Xiao Wei would have such high prestige among the people.
"Tell them to wait."
Li Shimin waved his hand.
No matter how angry he was, he couldn't take it out on the people.
"this……"
Li Junxian hesitated to speak.
"Why aren't you going?" Li Shimin scolded.
"They still have a small request." Li Junxian said bravely.
"What request?"
"They hope that Wei Shuyu will continue to serve as the doctor of the Ministry of Commerce!"
Wow.
All the ministers were stunned.
People petition!
How old is Wei Shuyu, and he has already won so many people's hearts?
Is it Wei Shuyu's personal charm, or is it the Ministry of Commerce's fault?
The eyes of the ministers flashed.
Whoever controls the Ministry of Commerce will gain fame and fortune!
"presumptuous!"
Li Shimin suddenly shouted: "Are they trying to force me into the palace?"
this……"
Li Junxian bit the bullet and replied: "They said before that if anyone can do better than Wei Shuyu, they can naturally obey the imperial decree."
"but……"
snort.
Li Shimin was angry.
"okay."
Li Shimin did not embarrass Li Junxian: "Since they want to petition for Wei Shuyu, I will meet them personally!"
"Show off, Xuanwumen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin stood up and walked towards the outside of Tai Chi Hall.
The officials wanted to stop it.
But Li Shimin had already left quickly, and he could only follow one by one.
Li Shimin was followed by the prince and first-rank officials.
Second grade, third grade... fifth grade, one by one filed out according to grade.
Finally got away.
"father……"
Wei Shuyu walked to Wei Zheng's side.
"Stop talking."
Wei Zheng waved his hand: "You have passed this time. Certain things are only suitable for talking about in private. If they are brought to the court, it will damage His Majesty's authority."
"Dad, don't be afraid."
Wei Shuyu said with a smile: "You don't know His Majesty's character yet. As long as we perform meritorious service, he will change his face faster than a monkey."
Wei Zheng took a deep look at his son.
"Be careful with yourself."
at the same time.
corner.
The historian is putting away papers and pens. Such important things must be put away by himself.
Li Shimin is very wretched.
Let eunuchs steal his records every day.
Anyway, it was the eunuch who was responsible if he was caught, and Li Shimin would never admit it.
As soon as they finished packing, they heard the words of the Wei family father and son.
His majesty changes his face like a monkey?
Take out pen and paper immediately...
The father and son of the Wei family once said: Your Majesty is a monkey.
"Remember what?"
At this moment, Wei Shuyu came behind him and took a sneak peek.
The historian's hand shook.
He quickly folded the paper.
"Can't outsiders see my records?"
"Oh, is it so?"
Wei Shuyu smiled: "I just saw you writing about monkeys."
"What kind of monkey is not a monkey? I'm still a big horse monkey."
The historian put away the paper and pen: "Quickly get out of the way, don't delay me from going to Xuanwu Gate to keep an eye on His Majesty."
Wei Shuyu ducked sideways.
The historian quickly ran away.
Xuanwu Gate.
Li Shimin stood on the tower, feeling a little tired looking at the swarming crowd.
This old Wei family is so good at sorting things out.
"Fellow folks, I wonder what you want to do when you gather at Xuanwu Gate?" Li Shimin said loudly.
As soon as everyone saw Li Shimin, they paid homage one after another.
Those holding fists, bowing, and other people couldn't help but kneel down.
"Everyone is free of charge."
Li Shimin extended his hand to avoid courtesy: "You know, gathering outside the palace gate is the same as rebellion."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, an old businessman stood up.
He bowed to Li Shimin and said: "To tell you your Majesty, we are not rebelling. We just hope that Your Majesty will allow Mr. Wei to continue to be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce."
"Then do you know what crime Wei Shuyu committed?" Li Shimin said after hearing this.
"Wei Shuyu disobeyed the holy order and left his post without permission."
"I once ordered him to continue to serve as the head of the Ministry of Commerce, but he insisted on being dismissed!"
As Li Shimin's words fell.
There was a commotion in the crowd, but it was not obvious.
"Your Majesty, we have also heard about this."
The old businessman replied: "Mr. Wei did it for his unmarried wife. The common people think that this move is excusable."
"Rules are rules."
Li Shimin spoke solemnly: "Wei Shuyu made a mistake and must be punished!"
"In reply to Your Majesty..."
Another merchant stood up and advised: "No matter what wrong things Mr. Wei has done, he is also sincere to the Ministry of Commerce. Everything he does is for our benefit."
"I hope your Majesty will be kind enough to pardon Doctor Wei and allow him to continue serving as Doctor of the Ministry of Commerce."
As his words fell, the people also agreed one after another.
"I hope your majesty will show mercy and restore Langzhong Wei's official position."
"I hope your majesty will show mercy and restore Langzhong Wei's official position."
"I hope your majesty will show mercy and restore Langzhong Wei's official position."
The people begged for mercy one after another, causing Li Shimin's face to darken instantly.
"But my golden mouth has been opened..."
Li Shimin said with a cold face: "Is it possible that you want me to break my trust in the world?"
this……
The people were speechless.
Li Shimin is the emperor and Wei Shuyu is an official!
In the hearts of the people, Li Shimin will always be greater than Wei Shuyu.
And this is Chang'an!
Li Shimin's reputation is unparalleled.
"But Your Majesty..."
At this moment, another merchant stood up and said, "Can the Ministry of Commerce find a more suitable candidate than Langzhong Wei?"
"If he is not in charge of matters, will His Majesty ignore the merchants of the world?"
Damn it.
Where does this talent come from, with such a strong head?
Li Shimin's face was extremely ugly.
"Bold, how dare you question His Majesty about your identity."
Changsun Wuji pointed at the merchant and shouted, "Someone, drag him down."
"Back off!"
As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin's scolding followed.
The merchant was arrested in full public view.
His reputation as Li Shimin bullying businessmen all over the world may be confirmed.
Li Shimin looked at the merchant: "The affairs of the Ministry of Commerce will be decided by the imperial court."
"His Majesty."
The merchant still replied with a serious head: "The ordinary people don't understand the affairs of the imperial court..."
"But the grassroots people also have their own strength in their hearts..."
"If Dr. Wei committed something heinous, the common people would have nothing to say, but if he was dismissed just for saving people, the common people really can't understand it."
"Finally, Cao Min wants to say something..."
"The Shang Department was founded by Dr. Wei."
"If he, the founder, does not participate, the businessmen in the world may not say anything openly, but they will slander His Majesty behind his back and say it is unfair!"
Um?
These words really made Li Shimin ponder.
The establishment of the Ministry of Commerce will definitely have a strong mark in the history books.
If Wei Shuyu was dismissed for this reason, it would really be unjustifiable.
