Everyone and the system were waiting for Shen Zhiyi to reveal the brilliant money-making plan, but she didn't utter a single word.
No one paid much attention to this matter until a while later, when all the civil and military officials in the court were desperate to have a child, and they all came to the old emperor.
But this matter will have to be put off for a while.
After the Grand Canal was completed, the old emperor decided to go to the Huguo Temple to pay his respects and pray for blessings.
This was a big event, and many ministers went along.
Dajing City is located in a plain area, so Shen Zhiyi is lucky that he doesn't need to climb any mountains.
But the Huguo Temple was huge, and Shen Zhiyi followed the old emperor and bowed here and there, his legs trembling.
"Chen Lang, you really lack exercise."
Shen Zhiyi glanced at Zhang Sheren and pinched her sore legs. When she heard that the old emperor wanted to rest, she almost raised her hand and cheered.
Later, the emperor, the empress and the abbot of the Huguo Temple stayed in a side room, and the three of them were guarding outside.
[This host is so arrogant that he even met with the old emperor and the empress alone.]
Zhang Sheren explained in a low voice: "Chen Lang, the abbot of this Huguo Temple is a highly respected person. The emperor and the queen both respect him very much."
[No wonder the Empress followed this time. I understand now. The old emperor and the Empress are fans of this host.]
Well, it seems that this understanding is not wrong.
Zhang Sheren raised his foot and prepared to stand back.
[Could it be that the old emperor was a monk before! He was also a beggar! ! ! ]
The more Shen Zhiyi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he began to turn on the surveillance system to look up the old emperor's experience of wearing open-crotch pants.
[Hahahahahaha, when the old emperor was a child, he stole the chicken from his neighbor's house and framed his eldest brother, causing his eldest brother to be beaten by his parents.]
The old emperor inside: Oh, is this true? Why doesn’t he remember it?
[Oh my god, this old emperor actually defecated on his parents' bed when he was a child, just because he didn't take a bite of the only egg in the house.]
The Queen Mother moved her butt silently. She didn't expect the old emperor to be such an old emperor.
The old emperor had a dark face. This Shen Zhiyi, he was going to sue her for defamation!
The host who was chanting sutras and praying for the old emperor said: "May I ask if I have done anything wrong to displease His Majesty?"
"Oh, it has nothing to do with you, Master. Please continue."
"Amitabha."
The host closed his eyes and continued to beat the wooden fish to pray for the old emperor and empress.
In the past, the old emperor would have listened to every word the host read, but now his mind was filled with Shen Zhiyi's loud and low voice.
The sound of "Haha" is like a magic sound that pierces the ears and has a long history.
[How could this old emperor be so funny when he was young? He even wore his father's pants on his head. ]
[And more…]
There was a very low laugh coming from outside the room, which confused the old and young monks around.
The young monk asked the old monk.
"Why do these nobles look so flushed?"
"They say he is a noble person, so of course his face will turn red. This is a good sign."
The little monk scratched his bald head and said, "But why do these nobles seem to be trying to hold back their laughter?"
"It's possible to hold back one laugh, but how can you hold back all the laughs? You must be possessed by a demon. Go to the Buddha and recite more sutras."
The young monk was driven away by the old monk.
The old monk looked at the young monk's receding back with helplessness and doting. Just as he was about to lament the young monk's lack of self-control, he unexpectedly heard bursts of laughter from behind him.
[The old emperor played house with the children in the village, because he was not the groom crying for his parents.]
Old Emperor: He would not cry over such a small matter.
[Hahahaha, I get it. The old emperor cried because he was playing the role of the groom stepping on the pile of shit. Damn, what the hell is this.]
“Puff.”
The old emperor looked at the empress who was holding her belly with a hurt look on his face.
"Wife, why are you also!"
"Sorry, hahahahaha, the memories of the dead are suddenly attacking me."
[Wait, this bride looks familiar. ]
Shen Zhiyi acted like the pensive detective of the dead elementary school student.
[Oh, isn't this bride the Empress? Old Emperor, you are still very capable. Although when you were young, you played the role of the groom stepping on dog shit, but when you grew up, you have become the groom.]
The old emperor had a dark face.
He announced that no matter what Shen Zhiyi said, he couldn't coax him.
"Your Majesty, may I ask where I went wrong? Please tell me."
"Master is right, please continue."
The old emperor took several deep breaths before he managed to suppress his anger.
But I don't know why, I always felt like I heard some laughter in my ears.
[It’s a pity that the old emperor has never been a beggar or a monk, but...]
The old emperor in the side room was very nervous.
[But! But our old emperor actually went to sea! ]
The ministers who were still laughing looked at each other.
"Has Your Majesty ever been to the seaside?"
"No?"
"General, you have been following His Majesty for a long time."
The General of the Cavalry said affirmatively: "I have never seen it, and His Majesty has never seen it either."
[I can’t hold it anymore. My stomach hurts from trying so hard to hold back my laughter.]
[When the old emperor was young, he was so poor that he had no food to eat. In order to earn a living, he wanted to devote himself to a rich businessman who liked men. However, the rich businessman despised the old emperor and belittled the young emperor to the point that he was worthless. Therefore, our old emperor went to sea, but failed because he was despised.]
"Hoo!"
The originally puzzled expressions on everyone's faces turned into obscene ones.
It’s unbelievable that their emperor actually had such an experience!
Zhang Sheren's eyes lit up, and he decided to include this incident in the unofficial history he compiled.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel and Minister of Revenue both suddenly realized it at the same time.
They finally understood why the old emperor was so resistant to businessmen.
For example, Lord Wang had wanted many times to ask for an imperial edict for his wife, but was rejected by the old emperor many times with various reasons. It must be because Lord Wang’s wife was a merchant.
If they were in other people's shoes, they would also be hostile to merchants in the future due to such embarrassing incidents.
I understand. I understand completely.
The old emperor's face turned darker. He collapsed, bent over, and burst into tears.
He thought Shen Zhiyi would not dig into his life before he became emperor, but today Shen Zhiyi would start from when he was wearing open-crotch pants.
"Oh my God, I am so embarrassed today."
The host who continued to chant sutras for the old emperor: ???
"If Your Majesty feels that I am not good at reciting the sutra, you can go to the Taoist temple next door and let the Taoist priest next door recite it!"
The host felt greatly insulted!
