If there is no follow-up, then there is no follow-up. Now that we know so much, we can almost get to the bottom of it.

Soon, the Dragon Scale Guards captured Prince Li and the Crown Prince who was about to escape.

[These two people are having an affair. ]

The old emperor looked at Prince Li and the Crown Prince who were brought in with great shock.

It's weird. He is so straight, how come his son is so weird?

The old emperor pointed at the prince's nose in annoyance and said to Prince Li: "You want to kill me just for this thing?"

"Father, Father, you should be more serious. I'm not going to kill you, I'm just letting you lie down."

The old emperor: "Hmm?"

Look, look, this is human language.

"Father, my elder brother doesn't feel sorry for you, but your son does."

This doesn't sound like something a human would say.

"You are so old, and you still deal with state affairs every day. Isn't this abuse of the elderly? Big brother really doesn't know how to feel sorry for you. Your son always feels sad when he sees this."

"So, I want you to abdicate as soon as possible so that I can enjoy your old age. Actually, I don't really want the throne, but as long as I take the throne, I can ensure that you can enjoy your old age."

It's confirmed. What Prince Li said is not human.

【Click a 6. 】

Although the old emperor had been speechless before, he had rarely been so speechless. He was so frightened that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Finally, it was the prince who broke the silence.

"Bullshit."

The prince was furious.

"What do you mean I don't feel sorry for my father anymore? You feel sorry for him if you beat him half to death?"

"Hey tui, look at your feet."

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Prince Li was kicked so hard that his nose and face were swollen by the Crown Prince's shadowless kick.

"Ahhhh, brother, I was wrong, father, I was wrong."

The old emperor took a sip of tea, trying to calm his anger, but the more he drank, the angrier he got, so he decided to join in.

Prince Li was beaten up by both his father and his elder brother, the Crown Prince.

After beating him for a while, the old emperor, feeling a little relieved, sat back on the throne.

"Prince Li, be exiled to Lingnan."

"As for this demon pretending to be the prince, execute him immediately."

[The last king who was exiled to Lingnan has died. I wonder if this King Li will also die on the way.]

Prince Li was completely panicked.

"Father, I really know I was wrong. Can you please find another place for me to be exiled? I think Jiangnan is a good place."

The old emperor sneered: "You are quite good at choosing a place, you wish for it."

After that, the old emperor had no interest in the spring hunt and went straight back to the palace.

The civil officials looked at Prince Li and came forward to express their gratitude.

Good man, this is a good man.

The military officers looked at Prince Li and wanted to spit on him.

It was a rare opportunity to get back at the hands of the civil servants, but it was ruined by this brat.

*

Inside Yanying Hall.

The old emperor closed his eyes and in front of him stood a row of ministers. They were the group of people standing at the top of the pyramid in the entire Daye.

"Everyone, I will not be able to sleep or eat well until all these rebels are wiped out."

【Then the old emperor should not sleep too deeply at night. 】

[You should know that with your attitude of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, many businessmen are secretly providing financial support to the rebels. ]

[For example, right now, in the Bingzhou area, there is a small group of people who want to rebel. Also, the bandits in the Nanman area are actually rebels from the previous dynasty. They all rose up with the financial support of some businessmen.]

The old emperor was furious.

The local officials are just there to eat for free!

[However, not all of the local officials of the old emperor are incompetent. Some of them will find ways to surrender the rebels, while some local officials will accept bribes from wealthy businessmen and pretend not to see anything.]

The old emperor gave everyone a look, and everyone began to clear them out one by one according to the list in Shen Zhiyi's mind.

The rebels, who were still in their infancy and had not yet fully developed, were all strangled by the imperial court.

After confirming from Shen Zhiyi that there were no traitors, the old emperor finally slept peacefully.

The next day, he was in a very good mood and rewarded all civil and military officials with 100 kilograms of pork each.

Shen Zhiyi looked at the raw pork in his hand with difficulty, and took out his little notebook.

【May. 】

[Yi Mao, the emperor went to the Taihe Hall to give lectures, and rewarded all civil and military officials with 100 catties of pork (stingy).]

The old emperor blew his beard and said, “That’s a full hundred kilograms of pork. How could you be so stingy?”

【I like to eat beef. 】

The old emperor gave Chen Decai a look.

Chen Decai immediately understood what the old emperor meant, and Shen Zhiyi's reward was changed from pork to beef.

Shen Zhiyi was not the only one who was dissatisfied with the reward being pork.

"Your Majesty, I think pork is not good."

[What's wrong with pork? Pork is delicious, and pigs are edible.]

Prince Duan looked at Shen Zhiyi in shock.

Aren't we supposed to wear the same pair of pants? Why are you contradicting me?

But words spoken cannot be taken back, so Prince Duan continued to express his opinion, saying that the pork was bad and dirty.

The old emperor cursed: "You are born in the year of the pig. What? You are a filthy thing?"

"certainly!"

[Oh my god, this Prince Duan is quite a character. In order to avoid eating pork, he even cursed himself.]

Prince Duan continued, "Your Majesty, I think this 'pig ban' is necessary to implement. First, I am a pig, and second, you are also a pig."

[Sorry, the old emperor is not a pig. He is a pig because his grandfather moved his birth date forward by one year. After he became emperor, the old emperor asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate a date that was very suitable for a king, so he changed his birth date. In short, no matter whether it is the real birth date or the current one, our old emperor is not a pig.]

Prince Duan opened his eyes wide and looked at his father in disbelief.

The old emperor smiled.

Prince Duan quickly rolled back.

[But speaking of this pig, I remember a melon I saw last night that was quite shocking.]

All the civil and military officials in the court had felt a little sleepy at first, but now they were no longer sleepy.

I am both excited and afraid. What's going on?

[Once upon a time, there was a man who had been looking for his mother, but he still hadn’t found his mother even after he became successful.]

The civil and military officials in the court who had been with Shen Zhiyi for such a long time had long known that the "mother" she mentioned meant her mother.

Is there anyone among them who has been looking for their mother?

Everyone quickly turned their attention to the Minister of the Imperial Household.

After becoming an official, the first thing the Minister of the Imperial Household Department did was to use his connections to find his mother. Over the years, the government had no clues.

The heart of the Minister of the Imperial Household, which had been silent for a long time, became active again.

In fact, he had thought about looking for Shen Zhiyi, but he had a lot of things that he was embarrassed to tell others, and he was afraid that Shen Zhiyi would remember him.
