"You two, His Majesty allows you to come in."
Duke Shun and the Minister of War entered the Yanying Hall.
It's still early now, because since Shen Zhiyi took a day off, the morning court ended very early.
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty..."
"Alright, alright."
The old emperor waved his hands and said, "Get up, get up. Long live the emperor."
He didn't care much about life and death. Although he regretted that he didn't have enough time, he still had a hardworking son to continue his work for him.
"Duke Shun, Minister of War, I heard that you two are relatives."
"Your Majesty, it is indeed so."
The old emperor gave a wicked smile and told about what he had seen today in a chatty manner.
Duke Shun and the Minister of War both showed joy at the same time.
Duke Shun: "I'm going to be a grandfather?"
Minister of War: "I'm going to be a grandfather?"
The two looked at each other.
Duke Shun: "What kind of grandfather are you?"
Minister of War: "What kind of grandfather are you?"
The two were stunned, then continued.
Duke Shun: "Why can't I be a grandfather?"
Minister of War: "Your daughter has married into my family, so you are the grandfather."
Duke Shun was not convinced.
"Humph, it's still unclear whose baby is in the belly."
"Hey, you old man, no matter what, you have to call me grandpa."
The Minister of War became angry.
"No, no, you have to give me someone to call me grandpa, right?"
The implication is that there must be a child who believes in him.
The Minister of War was unhappy, so the two of them started fighting.
The old emperor looked with one eye open and one closed.
“It’s really lively.”
Duke Shun and the Minister of War were both old, and they got tired after fighting for a while.
The two men were back to back, breathing heavily.
"I don't care, you have to give me a grandson."
"Hey, let your kid have one."
Speaking of this, Duke Shun became angry.
"Stop talking, stop talking. It makes me angry."
The old emperor smiled, and this time both his eyes opened.
"Duke Shun, Minister of War, you two are relatives, why did you fight like this? Look, you even have black circles under your eyes."
Duke Shun, Minister of War: The battle is over now, please continue talking about this.
"Let's do this."
The old emperor said: "The first child will be the Minister of War no matter what, and the second child will be the Duke. How about that?"
The Minister of War was about to say something, but the old emperor said in advance: "Minister of War, you have so many children, but Duke Shun has only one daughter."
"I understand."
In this way, the Minister of War and Duke Shun reached a friendly agreement.
The old emperor never thought that one day he would have to deal with such a matter.
He turned around and was about to review the memorials when news came from the Dragon Scale Guards.
"Your Majesty, Shen Lang has been murdered."
This news stopped Duke Shun and the Minister of War, who were about to leave.
How dare someone touch Shen Zhiyi?
This is because you think your life is too long.
“How is Shen Zhiyi doing now?”
"With An Qi and An Jiu here, there's no danger to his life."
The old emperor was relieved.
"But, but Shen Lang fainted."
The old emperor was worried again. He said angrily: "Investigate, you must find out which bastard did it."
"I accept your order."
The news of Shen Zhiyi's murder spread like wildfire, and many people came to hang around the small courtyard where Shen Zhiyi lived.
At this time, the old emperor had already gone in and was listening to Aunt Cheng's report.
"Your Majesty, those who attacked Shen Lang were all deadbeats. When they realized that their attack failed, they immediately committed suicide on the spot. We did nothing to stop them."
"waste."
Aunt Cheng, An Qi, and An Jiu knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty, punish me."
"Each of you will receive fifty lashes."
【Host, host? 】
The old emperor was stunned.
The system called for a long time and found that Shen Zhiyi did not move. After noticing the gentle breathing sound, it went to continue fixing the bug in silence.
The old emperor asked someone to guard the room and went to the next room.
Standing inside was the most senior minister in the court.
"Your Majesty."
"Everyone, please sit down."
The old emperor's mood suddenly became not so good, which made people shudder.
The Minister of Industry stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that the security of the place where Chen Lang lives is not very good. How about..."
"Take it to the palace?"
"It will definitely be no problem if you stay by my side for twelve hours a day."
Ministers present: ...
Shen Zhiyi could scold the old emperor to death.
"Your Majesty, I still think that too much is as bad as too little."
"Then what do you say?"
The Minister of Industry took out a map and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. We can re-plan this area and make it a place for officials to live. Then we can move in."
“Good idea.”
"I agree with the Minister of Works's approach."
The old emperor couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
He was too embarrassed to directly expose these people. They just wanted to have fun every day.
It would be better to live with him and let him listen to fun things every day.
"That's a solution, but the Minister of Revenue..."
The Minister of Finance raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I agree. We can still get some money if we squeeze it out."
Old Emperor: Where did your stinginess go?
"But this will take a long time, right?"
"Your Majesty!"
Old Emperor: Which idiot is talking!
He is the Minister of the Imperial Household.
"Your Majesty, aren't you planning to go south to inspect the Grand Canal this year? When you come back, it will be repaired."
