"Ah, the fish is gone."

The fisherman didn't notice at all that there was something wrong with the old emperor's expression.

"Where is the Minister of Justice?"

The Minister of Justice was speechless. Why did they ask him to do such a small matter?

"I am here."

[Hey, who knows what the Minister of Justice is cursing at the old emperor in his heart.]

The old emperor turned his head suddenly.

The Minister of Justice shook his head innocently.

No, I didn't, she said nonsense.

"Your Majesty, fishing is the primary occupation of fishermen, and the loss of fish is a serious matter. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

The fisherman was confused. No, that’s not what the old lady told him.

This is just a small case. It would be a waste of talent to let the people from the Ministry of Justice investigate it. It would be solved in minutes, not to mention that Shen Zhiyi had already explained the reason.

Seeing dozens of cats he raised being taken away by government officials, the fisherman finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"You can't take it away. If you take it away, who will help me drive away the rats?"

"Oh, I was wrong. They didn't steal the food. I fed it to them myself."

The old emperor said in a deep voice: "Fisherman, you have a legitimate job and could have made legitimate money. Why do you have to think of these crooked ways?"

[How can the money earned through hard work be the same as the money obtained without any effort? Let me just say this about the Recorder. I don’t know what the old emperor got up to, but he actually wants to reform it.]

In the past, she and Zhang Sheren would take turns coming, but recently the old emperor had no idea what he was doing and had to learn the bad things from the previous dynasties. The two of them would come together, and they could only go home to sleep after the emperor had slept.

[I don't know what the old emperor's hobby is. It's not enough for one person to watch him poop, so he has to get two people to watch him poop together. ]

The old emperor snorted coldly and pretended not to hear anything.

The fisherman shuddered, frightened by the old emperor's "humph".

He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"Although it didn't cause a big mistake, it still requires a small punishment."

The fisherman was beaten with five boards and then let go.

The old emperor simply straightened his sleeves and prepared to return to Yanying Palace to continue discussing state affairs.

[Why are you leaving? The people told you to leave, so you left. Don’t you see there are a bunch of people queuing outside to beat the drum to report the incident?]

The old emperor turned his head stiffly, saw the long line, and took a breath.

Why are there still people who don't leave after he has beaten them with a stick?

The drum for hearing the news continued to be beaten.

The old emperor asked: "Just now the fisherman was beaten with a stick, why didn't you leave?"

Commoner Zhang San said, "That guy is here to cheat money, but I really have something to worry about."

The old emperor was relieved: "Okay, you tell me."

Zhang San: "I want to report that the trees in the capital are bare and ugly. My wife is upset looking at those bare trees all day long. I beg Your Majesty to replace the trees in the capital with trees that don't shed their leaves."

The old emperor was silent.

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent.

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I'm getting rich from laughing. The capital is in the north, and how can trees in the north not lose their leaves in autumn? Hahaha.】

"Get the fork out of here!"

…

"Your Majesty, I am Wang Ermazi. Only Your Majesty can solve my demands. No one else is qualified to do so."

The old emperor was delighted to hear this.

"Tell me about it."

"It's like this. I have a son who is very intelligent and can write poetry and songs. He is a man of both literary and military skills. I believe that my son will be able to accomplish great things in the future and relieve His Majesty's worries."

The old emperor was pleased again and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Daye is lucky to have such a talented person."

Wang Ermaizi's face was full of smiles. He bowed to the old emperor and said loudly, "So I beg Your Majesty to allow Luoshui County to organize the college entrance examination again this year."

"Cough, cough, cough."

The old emperor's smile disappeared instantly, and he was choked by his own saliva.

He picked his ears out of control.

[Old Emperor, you heard it right. They want to hold the college entrance examination again because his son is already 38 years old and is still a student. His son failed the college entrance examination again this year.]

[Look at it more positively. I see that there are a lot of 70 or 80-year-olds in this world. Wang Ermaizi's son is only 38 years old. He is young and promising, and there is a lot of room for improvement.]

It is quite big, but Daye does not need such talents!

The old emperor was so angry that his fingers were shaking: "Five big strokes of the cane, get out."

…

"Your Majesty, I am Li Si, a commoner."

[Oh, Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Ermaizi are not lying to me. Wait, the old emperor's previous name seemed to be Zhou Liufu. Hahaha, no wonder he liked the Sixth Princess so much.]

All the ministers present lowered their heads. They had never heard the emperor's previous name and didn't know it.

"Why do you want to beat the drum?"

[Hmm, I really can’t tell what this person is like. He doesn’t seem to have any troubles or weird things.]

Can’t even see Shen Zhiyi’s magical system?

That must be a big deal!

The old emperor sat up straight and took it seriously.

Li Si showed his big white teeth and smiled: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to ask for. It's just that everyone said that knocking on this door can help me meet the Majesty. I am a commoner and have never seen an official. This time I will see a high-ranking official. I will have face when I go back and chat with him on the street."

Old Emperor: ...

"Fork out, fork out!"

[I am dying of laughter, all of you weirdos, show off your magical powers. ]

[Hahahaha, but the more I look at this, the more familiar it seems. Isn't this the one, two, three, four, five that's been misused? Is this a wishing well?]
