34, Prospects of the Western Town, Moderate Means
Wei Shuyu walked in the palace.
There are ancient bluestones on the ground, exuding a rich historical atmosphere, and the red walls and black tiles represent the majesty of human imperial power.
Today is Xiu Mu. The emperor is processing memorials in the Taiji Palace. Wei Shuyu made a special trip to see him.
Wei Shuyu walked through a porch and reached the periphery of a long corridor. Looking inside, the city wall was very high and slippery, making it difficult to climb...
This is almost a taboo place in the palace, Xuanwu Gate!
Ever since Wei Shuyu entered the palace, he had vaguely sensed something was wrong, but he had no way of inferring the specifics, so he purposely walked through the Xuanwu Gate!
Wei Shuyu stopped and combed his official uniform and boots, but his eyes were vaguely looking towards the Xuanwu Gate.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, the breeze was gentle, and everything seemed so peaceful, but inside the Xuanwu Gate, Wei Shuyu felt an eerie and uncomfortable feeling.
Wei Shuyu said silently in his heart: "Open the human race's heavenly eyes!"
As he finished speaking, he saw a golden light flickering in Wei Shuyu's eyes. When he looked at the Xuanwu Gate again, he clearly saw countless ghosts wandering with bloodstains all over their bodies!
The leader is none other than the Prince of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng!
Li Jiancheng was surrounded by evil aura, with evil bloodstains, his eyes were red and full of resentment, and he met Wei Shuyu's eyes by chance.
Wei Shuyu, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. He arranged his official uniform and boots, stood up, and walked towards the Tai Chi Palace.
When nothing unusual happened, Li Jiancheng's ghost roared twice unwillingly before slowly disappearing.
Wei Shuyu walked slowly on the brick road, leisurely walking in the courtyard, seemingly calm on the surface, but deep down he was already panicking.
"As expected...the wronged soul of the Jinghe Dragon King has disappeared, Buddhism is bound to find a new replacement, and this ghost of Li Jiancheng is the new replacement!"
The reason why Wei Shuyu didn't dare to act strangely was that he had already guessed in his mind that the wronged soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe had made such a big mistake. Buddhism would not stumble over the same thing twice. There must be people from Buddhism above the clouds at this moment watching day and night.
Li Jiancheng of Xuanwumen!
Wei Shuyu's prediction was indeed true. The golden light flashed above the sea of clouds. It was the Buddha of Buddhism, who was here to keep an eye on the Buddha on the orders of Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Wei Shuyu walked calmly. Thinking of the mysterious man in green who came to visit yesterday, he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart, "The journey to the west has begun, and the city of Chang'an has become more turbulent... The eyes of all the immortal saints have moved down to Chang'an!"
Wei Shuyu knew in his heart that he should be careful at this moment. If the immortal saints discovered his plot, he would probably fall into hell in an instant and would not be able to be reincarnated...
"Chang'an, after all, is not the place where I can accumulate strength for the human race!"
Wei Shuyu was thinking in his heart and walked to Tai Chi Palace.
"I, Wei Shuyu, pay homage to Your Majesty." Wei Shuyu walked to the study and saluted respectfully.
"Shuyu is here, no need to be polite, just give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The monarch and his ministers sat quietly in the study and had a long talk.
"Shu Yu, you have a more detailed plan for your trip to Anping today?" Li Shimin asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, I have further plans."
"tell me the story."
"I want to build a western corridor between Datang and Anping, also known as the Silk Tea Road!"
"Oh?" Li Shimin immediately became interested when he heard about the Western Corridor and the Silk Tea Route.
"I established the Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an for the sake of Anping, and to connect Anping and Chang'an through business!"
"Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit!"
"If commerce can survive, our Tang Dynasty's people, economy, politics, culture and other resources will continue to deliver energy to Anping County!"
After Wei Shuyu finished speaking, he made another big salute, said seriously and solemnly, "I want to build an important town in Anping, second only to the important town of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty!"
"If the Western Corridor can be built, it can be used as a trade road in peacetime, and as a marching road in wartime, and if we cooperate with His Majesty, the 'Tian Khan', to implement the national policy of making war, then the Tang Dynasty's frontiers can enjoy eternal peace, and the Tang Dynasty can create eternal prosperity.
!”
Wei Shuyu made a great salute but did not get up.
Li Shimin was sitting quietly on the soft floor. At this moment, listening to Wei Shuyu's words, his heart was already filled with excitement, and the passion of his youth was burning again.
"How could Shu Yu be so determined?" Li Shimin asked solemnly.
“I don’t take any profit from the Chang’an Chamber of Commerce, it’s all for the sake of building Chidao and Anping!”
"good!"
"good!"
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his face full of admiration and joy, "I originally only wanted Shu Yu to go and implement the national policy of making war, but I never thought that Shu Yu would be like Zhan Wang, worthy of being the son of Wei Zheng!"
"Your Majesty, this move cannot be completed in a short time. I need..."
"I understand that I have given you the right to act independently before. Shuyu has such a vision for our Tang Dynasty. How can I not support it?"
"I have thanked Your Majesty. I have a request when I enter the palace today."
"Haha, tell me." Li Shimin was in a very good mood and laughed twice.
"To build Anping, we need to recruit talents. I am recommending two people now and want to go to the outside of the Great Wall with me!" Wei Shuyu said respectfully.
"Oh? Who can Shu Yu take a liking to?"
"Wu Yuanzhi, Wu Yuanshuang!" Wei Shuyu said slowly.
"The two sons of the warrior Xun? They are mediocre and incompetent people. How could Shuyu choose them?" Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Wei Shuyu showed an embarrassed smile that was seen through by Li Shimin, and chuckled: "Your Majesty, didn't I just marry Meiniang? Why do you say that this is Meiniang's brother? I will definitely make achievements when I go out, and I want to lead them to earn a lot of money."
If you want to gain merit, you can't keep eating at the capital left by Duke Ying's government, right?"
Li Shimin had a knowing smile on his face, "So you have selfish motives!"
"Your Majesty is wise and you can see through it at a glance."
"That's right!" Li Shimin agreed directly. It is a good thing for ministers to have selfish motives. If Wei Shuyu has no selfish motives, it would be abnormal. Moreover, it is a good thing to go out and make contributions.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
…
Wei Shuyu came out of the palace and did not dare to pass by Xuanwu Gate again.
After leaving the palace gate, Wei Shuyu strolled down the street with a faint smile on his face.
It was Wei Shuyu's deliberate plan to let Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanzhi come out of the border together. In the capital, he was the son of the Duke of the country, and after leaving the border, he was just a big fish to be slaughtered.
Wei Shuyu has never been a calm person. Since he dared to reach out, he would have to bear the price of reaching out!
…
Wei Shuyu was walking on the streets of Chang'an. Vendors gathered on both sides of the streets, traveling from north to south, bustling with people and extremely lively.
Wei Shuyu only saw a long queue of countless plainly dressed people around the corner.
Wei Shuyu walked up and asked politely: "Old man, why is there such a long queue?"
"Ahem... Dr. Sun has come to Beijing and is doing free clinics for the people." The old man's face turned pale and he coughed several times before explaining the reason.
"Mr. Sun? Free clinic?" Wei Shuyu looked along the long queue, and sure enough he saw an old man sitting quietly at the source, consulting ordinary people and taking medicine.
"View information!"
"Message as follows:"
Name: Sun Simiao
Race: Human race
Qualification: Peak of acquired human race
Cultivation: Refining God and Returning to Void (Peak)
Kung Fu: Thousand Gold Prescriptions, Medicinal Classics
Wei Shuyu sensed the message and raised the corners of his mouth slightly to reveal a knowing smile, "It turns out it's...Sun Simiao, exactly what I need!"
