The old emperor stopped suddenly.
[Besides, it is inevitable that an emperor would be ruthless.]
[If the emperor is not ruthless, the country will not be stable. 】
Old Emperor: My soulmate, Shen Zhiyi!
The old emperor, who was deeply misunderstood, waved to the composer.
"You, step back."
Author: ...
Before leaving.
"Your Majesty, I have to thank you, otherwise history would be missing a record of you."
"What record?"
The author smiled slightly and said, "Of course it is your majestic figure, Your Majesty."
[Nonono, of course it was about the old emperor killing the three-and-a-half-year-old prince of the previous dynasty.]
【Hahahaha, this old emperor is so funny, I don't know what's wrong with him. He originally killed all the records of the royal family of the previous dynasty. The previous historian was an EQ person. He didn't say to kill all of them, but only said to kill most of them. But now this writer in the history museum is just saying whatever he wants.】
[What is this called? This is the rabbit in the story of waiting for the rabbit. ]
After this small episode, the old emperor discussed the issue of regional division with his ministers again.
"The entire Jiangnan Road can be simply divided into Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan North Road, and Jiangnan South Road."
[Oh, our Xiang-Jiang-Hubei combination was born at this moment. ]
The old emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court: What the hell is this?
"Well, we can just split Lingnan Road into Lingnan West Road and Lingnan East Road."
[I understand, it’s our Guangdong and Guangxi! ]
The old emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court: What the hell is this?
As everyone continued to divide the area on the administrative map, Shen Zhiyi kept coming up with strange words, like the name of a group.
Time flies and it's already a night.
Everyone looked at the new area division map exhaustedly and was very satisfied.
Until then, a sudden yawn woke everyone up.
[Oh my god, the area division is so neat, but now it's all square and looks weird.]
When Shen Zhiyi was studying geography in high school, he might have been familiar with the rooster map at home since he was a child.
When she learned about the division of the African plate and the United States, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it.
Maybe I'm used to the bumpy edges of my house.
The old emperor was somewhat displeased after hearing Shen Zhiyi’s thoughts.
Because it was he who proposed to draw it so neatly.
Look how beautiful this is!
After hearing what Shen Zhiyi said, Prime Minister Wang, who was originally drowsy, suddenly had his cloudy eyes bright as if they were a light bulb.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The old emperor waved his hand and said, "This is the Purple Palace. There are not so many rules. Just speak directly."
"I beg Your Majesty to bring us the regional division maps from past dynasties."
The regional division maps of various dynasties are kept in the History Museum.
Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but admire the map that was preserved so well.
【It is a good habit to remember history. As a recorder, I must also shoulder my due responsibilities.】
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath, picked up the brush, and wrote firmly——
[On the twelfth day, no, the clock has already turned, it is the thirteenth day, Guimao. The emperor burped five times, farted ten times, sat down and stood up fifty times, and went to the toilet zero times.]
[Wow, the old emperor can really hold it in. ]
The people present were shocked and silent.
You spend the whole night doing this?
The old emperor's mouth twitched fiercely, and seeing that Shen Zhiyi was still remembering what he had done and how many times he had done it, he couldn't help but interrupt him midway.
"Care for the people, what do you want this from the previous dynasty for?"
Prime Minister Wang saluted with his arms crossed and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to the royal family's neglect of state affairs, another major reason was the growing strength of local forces."
[Indeed, indeed, the old emperor is very familiar with it. ]
Because before the old emperor successfully rebelled, he was one of the local forces.
The people present directly ignored Shen Zhiyi's voice. The old emperor didn't care, but the ministers had to pay attention.
Prime Minister Wang continued, "Your Majesty, please see that the division of the region in the previous dynasty had neat edges, especially some places, such as here, which were simply fully developed in terms of culture, economy, politics, and military."
Shen Zhiyi raised his head stealthily.
[The old emperor is familiar, the old emperor is familiar. Prime Minister Wang is referring to the place where the old emperor started his rebellion.]
Prime Minister Wang: “…”
He was old and hard of hearing, so he didn’t know what Shen Zhiyi was talking about.
A hand like dry bark pointed to another place.
"Your Majesty, in order to prevent power from tilting towards the local areas, I suggest that culturally similar areas be divided into at least two or more provinces. Some places are geographically the gateways to other places, so I also suggest that they be divided."
The old emperor's eyes lit up, and the sleepiness that had just come up in his mind disappeared instantly.
So everyone considered geography, economy, culture, military and even historical origins and started to redivide the country.
The result of this division is that the edges of each road are bumpy, as if they were chewed by a dog.
But the old emperor found it more and more interesting.
Shen Zhiyi also understood more and more.
[Gah, I understand. No wonder some provinces are bulky. So that's why!]
[As expected of a prime minister, even though he is quite old, the brain matter accumulated over the years is the essence! ]
Prime Minister Wang smiled but said nothing. If Shen Zhiyi’s words hadn’t been so smooth, he wouldn’t have thought of this.
All in all, Shen Zhiyi also made an indelible contribution.
"Hahaha, rewards, there are rewards for everyone."
The old emperor was delighted and rewarded everyone with famous wine from the Western Regions, even Zhang Sheren and Shen Zhiyi, who stood aside and didn't say a word the whole time.
It’s just that others are famous wines, while Shen Zhiyi is a pot, a pot with a chimney-like shape in the middle.
[Dad, this is blatant discrimination! ]
[Why are others wine and I am a pot! ]
[What does the old emperor mean? Is there any hidden meaning behind this? Is he planning to let me give it to him in the future, or let his son take the blame?]
Old Emperor: I think too much every day.
He gritted his teeth and said, "There is a restaurant in the capital that specializes in Boxiagong."
[What the hell, what is Boxiagong? ]
"Boxiagong is hot pot. Cut the meat into thin slices and put it in the boiling hot soup. The thin meat will be cooked soon. The texture and taste are excellent. With this pot, you can eat Boxiagong in that restaurant for the rest of your life without paying any money."
[Damn, this is just hot pot! ]
Shen Zhiyi looked at the pot in his arms and felt satisfied no matter how he looked at it.
She won't drink alcohol, but she can really make hotpot if you give her a pot!
"Your Majesty is wise."
The old emperor was happy.
"This subordinate is also thanks to Lord Wang's help."
Prime Minister Wang couldn't close his mouth because of his smile.
The old emperor couldn't help it: "Chen Zhiyi, why don't you call me Your Majesty."
Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened. Is this guy sick?
[I don’t know whether the old emperor is ill or not, but your son is definitely ill.]
The old emperor: How did this involve his son again? Is there someone cheating on him again?
