Wei Zheng was terrified.
The two of them fought and almost fainted.
In the imperial court, he had a verbal battle, and every time he spoke, Li Shiming would be drenched in blood.
But that was because he was in the right.
Now, the Emperor had written an edict of self-sin, which was to drag down the face of his monarch and admit his mistake.
But for some reason, the words were gone!
Why did the words disappear?
Wei Zheng's little heart was thumping wildly. Damn it, I'm afraid I'm really going to retire and return home.
On the way to Taiji Palace, Wei Zheng's heart was very restless. Beads of sweat kept sliding down his forehead.
In the Dew Hall, Li Shimin finally decided to spend 500 taels of silver to exchange for copper coins in the national treasury to reward Li Qin.
The reason why they exchanged for copper coins was because silver was not common in the Tang Dynasty.
Silver would only be used when purchasing houses, land, and other items that involved a large sum of money.
Usually, small transactions were mostly done with copper coins and silk.
After all, the usual amount of money was six catties and four taels. Based on the housing prices in Chang 'an, a house of more than 200 square meters would cost 100 taels, which was a few hundred catties of copper coins.
Du Ruhui was satisfied. Five hundred taels was enough to temporarily shut Young Master Li's mouth.
Just as he was about to leave, Wei Zheng walked in in fear.
Du Ruhui was furious when he saw Wei Zheng.
One had to know that this old man had sold himself just now.
When Wei Zheng saw Du Ruhui's unfriendly expression, he complained in his heart. He was definitely going to be mocked.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng started to stutter. He no longer had the confidence he had before. He said carefully,"Your…Your Majesty, that."
"Look."
"Can you write another self-reproaching edict?"
"There's no need for that much, just a few hundred words will do."
Li Shi Min looked at the old man's nervous face and felt amused.
Did he suffer a setback?
It seems that my son is indeed honest.
"Lord Wei, are you joking with me?" Li Shimin pretended to be angry.”
"Do you think that I'll be proud to write this?”
"Ah…this, that." Wei Zheng couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his sweat. He wanted to cry but had no tears."Um, Your Majesty, what if I say that the words on the edict have disappeared?”
"Do you believe me?"
Du Ruhui almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wei Zheng, oh Wei Zheng, you lost the self-reproaching edict.
Let's see how you're going to end this.
You old brat, you've been scolding me all day long. It's time for me to build a high wall for you.
Du Ruhui immediately acted shocked and said in an exaggerated tone,"Physician Wei, how important is this edict?”
"How could you be so careless!"
Although Wei Zheng knew that Du Ruhui was kicking him when he was down, he couldn't say anything.
He could only take out the Self-Condemning Edict in a panic and explain,""No, it's not that. I didn't lose it, it's just that this word is gone!”
Li Shi Min suppressed his laughter and said angrily,""Wei Zheng, is your brain not working well? I personally handed this piece of paper to you.”
"Are you telling me that the words of the self-reproaching edict are gone?”
"Did you eat it?"
Wei Zheng was speechless.
'I want to eat it now. At least I know where to go.'
It was broad daylight and the words were gone.
Wei Zheng wasn't to blame for this. The problem lay in the porcelain bottle that Li Qin gave Li Shimin.
This cuttlefish juice had been tampered with by Li Qin. Although writing with this thing would fade, it would take a long time.
Thus, Li Qin combined his memories from his previous life and added something to make it evaporate faster once it came into contact with heat.
In fact, it was a little trick of modern society, but it was indeed unheard of in the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng was now a mute who could not speak.
Seeing that Wei Zheng didn't say anything, Li Shimin didn't get angry and said coldly,"Doctor Wei, what did you say to me earlier?”
"Even if you lose your head, you won't lose this self-reproaching edict?”
Wei Zheng was speechless.
For the first time in history, Wei Zheng felt sincere regret for his big mouth.
Do you really want to die as an apology?
Stop messing around!
If the Great Tang did not have a loyal minister like Wei Zheng, who would criticize him in the future?
No, who would correct His Majesty's mistake?
Li Shi Min felt happy.
Today, I finally got my revenge.
Aren't you usually very capable?
Don't you dislike whatever I do?
However, Li Shimin still knew his limits and winked at Du Ruhui.
The latter understood. Although he did not know what was going on, he could guess that the Emperor had done it on purpose.
Du Ruhui said,"Your Majesty, Lord Wei was doing his duty after all. It was not his wish to lose the edict."”
"In my opinion, no one else knows about this matter. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me.”
Wei Zheng looked at Du Ruhui with gratitude.
Li Shi Min sighed and waved his hand,"Then that's it. I won't pursue it.”
Wei Zheng was filled with gratitude and hurriedly knelt on the ground. The Emperor was wise and a famous ruler.
His words were endless.
Li Shi Min was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He quickly said,"Is there anything else, Doctor Wei?"
"Don't tell me you want me to rewrite the edict of self-sin?”
Wei Zheng shook his head like a rattle-drum." I dare not. I will take my leave."”
At this moment, he didn't dare to mention anything about rewriting the edict.
His life was more important!
When he walked out of the Dew Hall, a cold wind blew, and Wei Zheng's back was cold and drenched in cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei has gone far away and can't hear you anymore.”Du Ruhui smiled.
Li Shi Min couldn't hold it in anymore, he slapped his thigh and laughed,"Du Ruhui, did you see Wei Zheng's fawning look just now?”
"Zhen has really vented his anger!”
In the Dew Palace, Li Shi Min laughed like a mischievous child.
After a long time, Li Shiming stopped laughing and said,"Du Ruhui, I heard that recently there was a demon monk in Chang 'an who bewitched people.”
Du Ruhui knew that this was serious business and did not dare to hide anything. He hurriedly said,"I've heard of it. It was spread by the monk Faya.”
"He should be dissatisfied with the ban issued by His Majesty a few days ago, so he spoke arrogantly.”
Li Shi Min nodded slowly, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness,"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Kill him if you have to.”
——
Chang 'an City, Chang' an County, Li Family's house.
Su Xiaoshan's toot little face was suddenly pinched by a pair of hands and she looked up.
What entered Li Qin's eyes was a small face covered in tears. Her eyes were red and her big eyes were still filled with tears.
Li Qin's heart softened. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the little girl's tears." I don't blame you. This isn't your fault."”
"Even if it wasn't for Shan 'er, I would still have argued with Hou Yulan when she mocked your young miss at the poetry recital.”
Su Xiaoshan knew that the Young Master was comforting her, but she still felt warm inside.
"You don't blame Shan 'er, Young Master?" she sobbed.”
Li Qin couldn't help but laugh and nodded."I've never blamed Shan 'er.”
In his heart, he actually treated Su Xiaoshan like a younger sister.
Su Xiaoshan was innocent and lively, just like her younger brother and sister in her previous life.
So why would he be calculative with his sister?
Su Xiaoshan still hadn't recovered from her shock. The little girl actually understood that she had implicated the young master.
If she were to return to the day of the poetry contest, she would definitely stop Young Master and slap him.
I, Su Xiaoshan, am just a servant girl.
Li Qin didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he avoided the topic and said,"By the way, Shan 'er, do you know that someone who specializes in killing corrupt officials has recently come to Chang' an?”
At the mention of this, Su Xiaoshan seemed to have remembered something and said,"Right, Young Master, I just passed by the government office and heard that the family who framed you have been convicted. They will be beheaded tomorrow afternoon.”
Li Qin smiled and was about to speak.
A beautiful figure walked in.
