[The Queen has been pushing for labor quite aggressively lately. 】

Prince Duan and the Crown Prince are brothers from the same father and mother, but Prince Duan is three years younger than the Crown Prince.

But look, how old is the grandson of the emperor who fell into the toilet? He is so big.

In addition to that one, there are several other imperial grandchildren in the Eastern Palace.

Look again, Prince Duan doesn’t even have a child now.

The Empress was anxious, but after urging Prince Duan for decades, all her efforts fell on deaf ears, so she simply set her sights on Prince Duan's wife.

[Princess Duan was upset because she was forced to give birth for the first time. She had been stopped by Prince Duan before, but now it was her turn. She felt that she had been free for so long, and her good days might be over.]

[But Princess Duan, who really didn't want to have children, wanted to quietly tell the old emperor about Prince Duan's increasingly serious male promiscuity.]

[Trying to get the Queen and the old Emperor to give up the idea of ​​Prince Duan having a child. Anyway, Prince Duan has no chance of becoming the Emperor, so it doesn't matter whether he has a child or not.]

The Minister of War closed his eyes in despair: What a good daughter he is, this method is so tactful.

Shen Zhiyi looked at Princess Duan with undisguised embarrassment in her eyes.

I haven't seen anything so stupid in a long time.

The Minister of War glared unhappily in Shen Zhiyi's direction.

How could his daughter be stupid!

You are almost stupid and can't hide anything you think.

【More stupid than me.】

Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War: ...

[I don't want to divorce, but I don't want to have children. First of all, it's hard to have both in the world. Even in modern times, few so-called DINK couples can stick to it. The men don't have the children themselves, and after a few years, their ideas change and they want a child.]

Prince Duan felt wronged: But he is a very handsome man.

[Oh, and don't believe those who say they like men. You know how gay wives come from. Their purpose is to cover up for their parents and to have children with them. Anyway, they are not good people.]

Prince Duan felt even more aggrieved: In fact, he has no interest in children!

[As the saying goes, a man's mouth is a lie. If you are not interested now, what about in the future? Even if a man is in his seventies or eighties, he can still have a baby. Anyway, it is the women who are unlucky. ]

Shen Zhiyi became more and more angry as he spoke.

[So what does a bastard man want? If you don’t want to have children, then just stay single! ]

[If you don’t want to get divorced, then be prepared to have a child sooner or later. ]

The assistant minister of the Ministry of War trembled all over, covered his daughter's mouth with his hands, and kowtowed heavily to the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have been by your side for a long time. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please allow me to divorce you."

"Father, um."

Princess Duan was slapped away by the Minister of War.

[Oh, this Minister of War really loves his children. ]

【But then again, you have neither merit nor hard work. 】

The old emperor thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

But now, in the eyes of outsiders, his son is the one at fault.

Stop it.

[The Minister of War is really good at flattering himself. ]

[Among the six ministries, the Ministry of War is actually a relatively leisurely place. There is little opportunity to achieve great achievements, nor is there much opportunity to work hard. ]

Before, Shen Zhiyi always thought that the Ministry of War was as busy as the Ministry of Personnel. After all, who wants to have an idle time when they are in charge of the military?

[The military power was in the hands of the old emperor, and the entire Ministry of War was responsible for training soldiers, managing their salaries, and the appointment and dismissal of military officers, among other things. There wasn't much to do, but it was hard work.]

[Damn, it looks like you have a lot more free time than me. ]

Shen Zhiyi gritted his teeth.

At this moment, everyone was watching the daily life of the Assistant Minister of War.

The more she looked, the angrier she became.

【Why, why! 】

[This guy has nothing to do except getting up early in the morning to attend court. ]

[Oh, it's morning now. I'll make myself some hot tea, eat some snacks, and then read a book. It's noon and time to eat. After lunch, I'll take a nap. After waking up, I'll continue to make tea. Then I'll go to the drill ground to see how the soldiers are training and chat with them. Oh, and then I can go home after work! ]

Shen Zhiyi was envious and jealous!

This is the life within the system she dreams of.

Instead of the current situation where serving the king is like serving a tiger, it is bad enough and makes me exhausted like a dog!

【I came home so early! 】

[So relaxing! This kind of day is suitable for me! ]

At this moment, the officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice in the front courtyard showed the same expression as Shen Zhiyi.

Some of the excited ones even grabbed their familiar colleagues from the Ministry of War.

"You guys just drink tea and chat all day long?"

The military official spread his hands and said, "Well, that's not the case."

The Ministry of War is such a sensitive place, who would dare to be busy there?

If the Ministry of War gets busy, it will only serve to seduce the Emperor.

The real power to command the troops lies with the emperor, and the Ministry of War just goes through the motions of issuing orders. Besides, there haven't been any wars to fight recently, and they don't even have a place to issue orders. They can only drink tea and take a stroll.

Shen Zhiyi was unbalanced, and even watching the fun was meaningless.

The old emperor reflected severely on whether he had exploited Shen Zhiyi too much, and then changed his mind and realized that it was obviously the Ministry of War that was too idle.

Got to find them something to do.

How to keep the people in the Ministry of War busy without threatening military power is a good question worth thinking about.

The old emperor couldn't figure out what to do for a while, so he decided to solve the troublesome issue first.

First, he let Prince Duan and Princess Duan divorce, and then he dealt with his brothers and sisters who appeared out of nowhere.

If many ministers had not known about this matter, according to the old emperor's order, this matter would have remained a secret forever.

But now that so many people know about it, it's a hassle to settle them.

The old emperor became very annoyed when he thought of his father who was still restless after death.

A few days later.

When Yang Hao and her husband woke up and learned that all the children they adopted over the years were actually the old emperor's brothers and sisters, they were stunned.

Coincidentally, the old emperor sent the Dragon Scale Guards to investigate this matter, but they couldn't find out anything.

On the contrary, what we found out is not suitable to be told to others.

He simply rewarded Yang Hao and his wife, helped his brothers and sisters to trace their ancestral roots, and gave them titles so that they could receive monthly salaries. This matter was temporarily over.

No, I almost forgot one thing.

The old emperor asked Chen Decai to bring up the rattan sticks and handed them to Yang Hao and her husband, and said solemnly: "The rattan sticks have not been drawn yet."

Mr. and Mrs. Yang Hao refused to take it no matter what.

"When a prince breaks the law, he is guilty just like the people. When the second son did something wrong, you are also the elders. Why can't you beat him?"

[Yes, yes, you are the elders of the old emperor, so why can't you smoke? ]

The Yang Hao couple’s eyes widened.

What was that sound just now?!

The old emperor smiled mysteriously.
