Chapter 269 It’s Cool No Matter How You Look At It



Lin Xuanzhi, General Lei and Emperor Zi'an were extremely nervous. If this was really His Majesty's spirit tablet, then the eldest prince would be dead!

[Don't worry, my eldest brother is timid and doesn't dare to set up a spirit tablet for my father]

Heavenly Saint Emperor: ...

I am finally relieved that my eldest son still has some conscience.

But whose spirit tablet is this?

Emperor Tiansheng pulled away the red silk covering the spirit tablet, and a name that appeared prominently on it shocked everyone present.

Emperor Xuanlang!

"Why are you setting up a memorial tablet for yourself?"

The tyrant's face fell.

Emperor Xuanlang wants to cry o(╥﹏╥)o

Finished!

However……

"Daddy, come back, come back. Such a big gold ingot." At some point, Abao trudged into the inner room and came out with a gold ingot that was bigger than her, covered in gold foil.

Po showed his little head from behind the gold ingot.

"Emperor Xuanlang, why are you doing this?" The great tyrant stared with his eyes wide open. He hadn't seen his eldest son for a year, so why did he do something weird that he couldn't understand?

The eldest prince was worrying about how to explain it.

I know, I know.

The great tyrant pricked up his ears.

The eldest prince glanced at Abao secretly.

A Bao stroked his chin and smiled, "My eldest brother was afraid that he would become a poor ghost after his death, so before he died, he set up a tablet for himself and burned gold ingots. When he passed away a hundred years later, he would be a rich ghost. This is saving money for his next life in advance."

[But the eldest brother does not know that although these paper money are burned for his spirit tablet, he is not dead. The burned paper money has become someone else's. He is wasting his thoughts and efforts to make wedding dresses for others. Tsk, when the eldest brother dies, he will still be a poor ghost.]

No, no.

The eldest prince just wanted to pick up the tenth princess and explain everything to her.

Lian'er said that as long as the money was burned for his memorial tablet, even if he was still alive, the money would be his after he died.

He was burning it for himself in advance, so how did it become someone else's?

"You want to die?" The tyrant widened his eyes, simply unable to believe what his eldest son was thinking.

The eldest prince shook his head, "No, no, father, I want to live."

"You have even set up a tablet for yourself! Is this the attitude you want to live with? As the eldest prince of the Tiansheng Dynasty, you don't make progress, don't care about the people, and don't care about the government affairs. Instead, you actually think about seeking death and becoming rich and powerful every day!

The people of Lingnan are suffering from the plague and are living in dire straits, and you are stacking gold ingots to save money for your next life! What are you thinking? Is there something wrong with your brain? "

The eldest prince was scolded so harshly that he knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to raise it.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Lin Xuanzhi stepped forward to persuade him.

The Tyrant paused, "Why do you want to die? If you want to die, why are you hiding here like a rat?"

"Father..." The eldest prince was shaking all over and crying.

I know, I know.

Abao knew it again.

The Tyrant pricked up his ears and heard Po sighing inwardly, "Big Brother is similar to Third Brother in one respect: He is afraid of death."

[But the third brother was afraid of death. His life goal was to become an emperor at first. But later, no one knew what happened to the third brother. His life goal changed. He just wanted to be an idle prince, eating and waiting to die.]

[But the eldest prince's life goal is to become an emperor. As the saying goes, a prince who does not want to be an emperor is not a good prince. The eldest prince's life ideal is very big, but the eldest prince's ability... does not match this ideal.

Ahem, I guess after arriving in Lingnan, the eldest brother would know what he is capable of, but he was unwilling to accept that. He was afraid of death but didn't want to disobey his father, so he came up with an idea to move to the mountains to live out his days and wait for the epidemic to disappear.

However, he did not expect that the epidemic in Lingnan became more and more serious. The eldest prince saw that he could not make ends meet and did not dare to run back to the capital. What could he do?

It was cold all over, so he thought about his next life.

Hey, in that book I read before, how did the eldest brother die? Let me think about it.

[I remember now! My eldest brother disobeyed the emperor's order, failed in his work, and was ashamed to be alive, so he took a white silk and hanged himself to death on a loess hilltop. In the end, his body was dried up by the wind, and no one came to claim it. In the end, he ended up as a wandering ghost with no one to collect his body.]

After hearing this, the Great Tyrant, Emperor Zi'an and the First Prince all looked at A Bao.

A Bao was totally unaware and continued to sit behind Jin Yuanbao, cracking melon seeds.

Even the eldest prince didn't dare to cry.

He, he, he, how could he die so tragically?

Thinking of his room full of gold ingots, he felt that all of this was wasted.

He stacked gold ingots day and night, and several times he even risked contracting the plague and sneaked down the mountain to steal gold foil from the shop, just to become a rich and powerful ghost after his death.

But that's not right. Lian'er clearly said that she could prepare him for wealth for the rest of his life. He couldn't be fooled!

"Father, I was wrong. I don't ask you to forgive me, but I ask you not to get too angry because of me. It's not worth it."

"It's good that you know it's not worth it." The tyrant's eyebrows twitched violently in anger.

This eldest son, it was all in vain that he said such sharp words when he came to Lingnan before. I didn't expect that when the time came, he would use the trick of escaping from the battlefield!

However, although this child had limited abilities and could not take on such a great responsibility, there was one thing that made the tyrant extremely happy.

That is - be obedient.

He would rather commit suicide than usurp the throne.

Although he always wanted to be emperor, the tyrant saw through it and realized that his eldest son did not have the ability to take the throne.

"It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. You get up first." The tyrant sighed.

The eldest prince was surprised and asked, "Father, are you forgiving him now?"

Wuuuuu.

He was absolutely thrilled.

This excitement made my legs go weak and I couldn't even stand up.

"That's not right!" The eldest prince slapped his head, "Master Baiyun, you are here too, can I ask you a question?"

Taoist Baiyun wiped his sweat and said, "Excuse me, Your Highness."

The eldest prince knelt and walked over. "That's right, I burned money for myself in advance. Will I really not be able to use it after I die?"

Taoist Master Baiyun: “…”

Tyrant: “…”

This stupid son is still thinking about money, money!

How cowardly and greedy! You want to hold on to your money even when you die.

[Hehe, my eldest brother didn't even know that he was being used, and he foolishly believed such stupid words.]

[When a person dies, everything is over. As the saying goes, one comes naked and leaves naked. One brings nothing with him and takes nothing with him when he dies. How can a person make plans for his afterlife and save money while he is alive?]

Abao was cracking melon seeds, which tasted delicious.

The eldest prince is already numb.

Taoist Master Bai Yun cleared his throat and said, "Prince, what you just said is just nonsense and cannot be taken seriously."

In other words, you were deceived!
