"Now that I see Your Majesty, when it comes to ideal things and the future of the people, they are even better than them. I see Your Majesty as high as a mountain, as big as a river, and as bright as the stars in the sky. I once thought that I could travel thousands of miles.
It is far more valuable than reading thousands of books. Now it seems that being able to see Your Majesty and listening to Your Majesty’s teachings is far more important than traveling thousands of miles.”
"The common people are willing to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty's ideals and the future of the people of the world."
Qin Huaidao looked at the young man who was talking about his thoughts and felt that his whole body was glowing.
"Okay, you are a good person for the future of the people of the world. Wei Shuyu, you are indeed much better than those idiots who study hard. I am very lucky to have you in the Han Dynasty, and the people of the Han Dynasty are very lucky. Mr. Wei, what do you think?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed. He looked at his rebellious son and then at Qin Huaidao. There was some unwillingness in his eyes, but he knew that he could not defeat Wei Shuyu.
What's more, both Your Majesty and the traitor spoke uprightly. He himself became a famous minister by relying on his uprightness and outspokenness. The words he once criticized others have now become a burden on himself.
For the sake of the family and the country, for the world, for the people, for the people's livelihood, no matter what it is for, Wei Shuyu has no obligation to do so, because he is Wei Zheng's son.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng's attitude changed drastically.
"Since you must go, be careful."
"Your mother was once afraid that I would offend too many people and be assassinated on the way to court, so she spent a lot of money to buy a set of soft armor. You can take this set of soft armor and be smart when you go out."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not like you. I'm so straight-tempered and can still be a first-class official. If His Majesty hadn't been generous and tolerant, who would have dared to believe it?"
What he said was not unreasonable.
Both Li Er and Qin Huaidao gave him the maximum say and respect in the court. If it had been anyone else, Wei Zheng might have died long ago.
Wei Zheng was choked by his words. He originally wanted to say something more, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
On the contrary, Xue Rengui and Qin Huaidao laughed secretly. Master Wei Zhengwei was known as the mirror above the court. He criticized the monarch at the top and scolded the ministers at the bottom. But when he returned home, he couldn't even convince his own son. In comparison, he was a bit pitiful.
.
Qin Huaidao wanted to have a son, but he must not get into the situation of the Wei family and his son. Xue Rengui was already thinking that it was time to have more contact with Xue Na to avoid a lack of understanding between the two.
Seeing that Wei Zheng stopped talking, Qin Huaidao persuaded him instead: "Shu Yu, don't look at Mr. Wei's strict requirements on you, I know that he also cares about you. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Mr. Wei is old, and some of his emotions are not like those of young people.
Express it directly, but I can feel that he cares about you."
"Your clothes, your money for travel, your requirements, and the soft armor just now, there is no mention of love everywhere, but there is love everywhere. I believe that with your intelligence, you will feel more after explaining it, father and son
It doesn’t have to be so intense. Only when you have more time to understand each other’s thoughts can you be harmonious.”
He turned to Wei Zheng again and asked: "Master Wei, what do you think?"
Wei Zheng: "Your Majesty has taught you a lesson."
After Wei Shuyu's mission was completed, Qin Huaidao and Xue Rengui left the Wei Mansion with the Jin Yiwei. On the way back, they both laughed.
"Haha, I have never seen Wei Zheng so depressed. I really didn't expect to see such a scene in this Wei Mansion. I think it doesn't matter to me if I get criticized a few times by Wei Zheng on weekdays. Brother Xue, have you seen this?
Is Wei Zheng like this?"
Xue Rengui: "Your Majesty, I have never seen Mr. Wei like this."
"Funny, funny!"
…
Soon after, the grain merchants sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the palace received various items sent by Fang Xuanling, including paper umbrellas of different sizes, freshly cooked delicacies, and a large number of items they were sitting cross-legged in the palace.
Required supplies are being delivered in a steady stream.
"this?"
Looking at the supplies sent by the imperial court, these grain merchants sitting here were shaken for the first time.
He was already prepared to be driven away. In fact, in the past dynasties, those who dared to make trouble in front of the palace would basically end up being driven away or beaten. What happened now?
Not only did the other party not chase people away, but they also sent first-grade officials to persuade them, and they even gave away so many things for free?
In the final analysis, these grain merchants are just ordinary people. Different from those officials and people with noble surnames, His Majesty has already felt that he has received great benefits from a little kindness.
It's just that these supplies have a different feeling in the eyes of the exterminated grain merchants.
"Giving food and drinks, with such a good attitude, could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"
Hearing this, Zhang Daozi shouted coldly: "Shut up, this is the entrance to the palace. If you talk nonsense again, please leave. No one is allowed to talk nonsense until the Chang'an Mansion finds out the facts."
While he was talking, a young man came to Zhang Daozi with several followers: "As expected of Zhang Daozi, the number one grain merchant in Chang'an, he is objective and calm, which is admirable."
Zhang Daozi raised his brows and observed this young man carefully. He looked unfamiliar and was dressed richly. He was not as skinny and tender as those young men from Chang'an, but looked like someone who often traveled around.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"It's easy to say that Wei Shuyu, who was born late in life, came from the Wei family in Lingnan Province. In his early years, he failed in the academic examinations and had no choice but to inherit the family's property. Now he is just a grain merchant in Lingnan Province."
Because he always used the pseudonym Wei Ran when he walked around, few people knew Wei Shuyu's real name, so he decided to use his original name for this mission.
As for the Wei family on Lingnan Road, it was a friendship he forged while traveling in Leizhou. At that time, the Wei family was far away in Lingnan and would never set foot in Chang'an. To be on the safe side, he still wrote a letter in advance, and the imperial court sent Jin Yiwei to personally deliver the secret.
The letter was sent to the Wei family in Leizhou for cooperation.
"Lingnan Road Grain Merchant? It's strange that you have come all the way here. I wonder why you came to Chang'an?" Zhang Daozi asked suspiciously.
"What else can I do?" Wei Shuyu opened the folding fan and waved it gently, looking like a handsome young man: "My father heard that His Majesty held a ten-mile state banquet on Zhuque Street, and there was also a madman Shangguan Yi and the leader Pei Xianzhu playing Chinese music and singing poems. It was a good performance.
The scene of the prosperous age specially ordered me to come to Chang'an to see the majesty of the Han Dynasty."
It turned out that he was here for fun. Zhang Daozi snorted coldly. He had seen many young men like this who traveled around in the name of business, so it was not surprising: "Have you seen it before?"
"I've seen it before." The folding fan started to blow, and the cold air spread in all directions.
"How do you feel?" Zhang Daozi asked casually.
All he wants is to ask.
Wei Shuyu followed his words and his expression became extremely solemn: "Wan Sheng originally thought that Chang'an was the capital of the Han Dynasty, a huge country with thousands of miles of atmosphere, but when I saw it here, I was greatly disappointed."
This is strange, Zhang Daozi secretly thought to himself, are you still going to rebel at the feet of the emperor?
