[Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to check on Shaoqing Sinong.]
Shaoqing Sinong: It’s too early to relax. Shen Zhiyi’s polycephalus has come back again!
It’s okay, as long as he refuses to admit it.
[My situation is different. I thought that Shaoqing Si Nong took the imperial examination on behalf of his brother, but it turned out that they had switched places three years ago.]
Three years ago?
Although the old emperor is old, his memory is still pretty good.
He remembered that Shaoqing Si Nong was transferred from the countryside to Dajing three years ago.
The substitution of officials is a big deal, and the old emperor is ready to let the Ministry of Justice investigate the matter thoroughly.
[Three years ago, the real Minister of Agriculture, the brother of the man in front of him, went back to his hometown to see his family on his way back to Beijing to take up his post.]
[Thinking that there was going to be a high-ranking official in his family, the parents of the Minister of Agriculture had been waiting for him for a long time, but when he returned home, he actually said that he wanted to resign and retire. ]
[How can this be possible! ]
[The parents of Si Nong Shaoqing persuaded his brother for three days and three nights, and their lips were swollen, but they still failed to dissuade him from resigning. Anyway, he was determined to resign. ]
[The elder brother of the Minister of Agriculture felt that being an official was too stressful, and that he lived like an ox or a horse every day. When he received his monthly salary, he felt as if the sky had fallen. He firmly believed that being an official was a high investment with little return, and that it was meaningless and that he had lost himself, as if he was bound by a fetter, so he only wanted to resign.]
At this time, some officials who were eavesdropping outside the palace sneered at this.
One becomes an official for the purpose of worrying about the country and the people. The real Shaoqing of the Ministry of Agriculture is really not worthy of being in office. It is a blessing for the people that he did not become such an official.
It's too small, and the pattern is too narrow, so you just focus on those small things.
However, Shen Zhiyi nodded fiercely quietly at the side.
Ministers in the hall: Shen Lang really does not hide his narrow-mindedness.
[So empathetic, who says it's not true? My mentor never exploited me like this, but this old emperor made me work eighteen hours a day, eighteen hours, sometimes even twenty-four hours, which means I don't have any time for myself.]
Old Emperor: You don’t have time for yourself, so what are you doing now?
You know, if anyone else dared to desert like this, he would definitely exile them to a remote area.
Humph, Shen Zhiyi really doesn't know how lucky he is.
However, what does the real Shaoqing Si Nong mean?
The old emperor was very displeased.
Is he so reluctant to be an official in Daye?
If you are unwilling, then just resign. What's the point of asking his brother to take the blame?
Just wait for him to confiscate your property and behead you. He remembered that Shaoqing Si Nong still had some assets in his family that could fill the national treasury.
Shaoqing Si Nong suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Did he wonder if he should say something?
[The parents of the Minister of Agriculture are really something. They don't want to be an official, but you see that you can't persuade them anymore, so you actually lock up your own child and let his brother take his place to come to the capital to take up the post.]
[Awesome! You are really tired of having your head on your neck and want to cut it off to relax.]
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyi touched his neck in fear and shrank slightly.
[I have to wrap my vest up properly, it seems to be even more excessive than the one of Si Nong Shao Qing.]
The old emperor was stunned and glanced at the trembling Sinong Shaoqing.
Forget it, I won’t chop off your head.
Confiscating property and exiling is also a good idea.
After the old emperor made up his mind, he looked at the ministers in front of him.
The people at Sinong Temple felt very embarrassed.
“This, this…”
The old emperor waited for a long time and found that no one from the Sinong Temple came forward.
Usually when Shen Zhiyi came up with something, many people would rush to take some credit for it, so why are they all silent today?
Sinong Shaoqing was so moved that he almost shed tears. In the end, he simply...
"Your Majesty, I have a report to make."
The old emperor looked at the other party suspiciously and said, "You say."
"Your Majesty."
Shaoqing Si Nong lifted his clothes and knelt down.
"I want to impeach myself for the crime of deceiving the emperor."
[Roar! He blew up his vest! He is a warrior! ]
The old emperor was so shocked that he pulled out a piece of his beard.
The people in Sinong Temple had complicated expressions.
Shaoqing Sinong didn't care about other people's expressions and simply repeated the process that everyone knew.
"Your Majesty, please punish me, but please spare my family, considering that I have worked hard even though I have made no contributions."
[Hey, what you did was not just hard work, it was all great merit. I didn't expect that most of the "Eating in Daye" I watched a few days ago was provided by Si Nong Shaoqing. ]
[Si Nong Shao Qing has been interested in food since he was a child. He wants to try everything he has never seen before. He has been poisoned countless times. He is simply the Daye version of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.]
Old Emperor: It is indeed a great achievement.
He had also read the book "Food in Daye", which listed many things that common people dared not eat but were actually edible, and even the cooking methods were clearly described. Some things only needed special cooking, and even poisonous things could be eaten.
When it comes to things that are beneficial to the people, the old emperor always pays more attention to them.
He thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I have an impression of you. Considering your contribution to the compilation of "Eating in Daye", I will not kill you but exile you to Lingnan West Road."
[Lingnan again, is Lingnan still undeveloped? 】
[You know, in my area, there are a lot of rich people on the east side. They are very wealthy.]
The old emperor was very disdainful of this. He thought that in that broken place, there were still mountains after mountains, and some places were full of miasma. How could one make money there?
Shen Zhiyi also transferred the surveillance video to the Lingnan plot, and took a look at the emperor's fake son.
[King Cheng walks so slowly. At this speed, it will take him a long time to reach Lingnan. But the old emperor didn't send anyone to kill him? ]
【Uh, dead.】
All the civil and military officials inside and outside the palace immediately covered their ears.
They heard nothing!
The old emperor frowned.
This is not right. The people he arranged are in Lingnan, not halfway.
If King Cheng died halfway, the people he had arranged would have one less thing to do.
Even if King Cheng reached Lingnan alive, he would not live long.
But it has only been a short time since King Cheng left the capital city. How is this different from dying at the starting point?
It's such a waste.
So how did King Cheng die?
Concubine Zhang Shufei must not think that he did it!
He is innocent now!
The old emperor calmly turned in the direction of Shen Zhiyi, waiting for the next words.
【Oh my, I’m in Lingnan. 】
[Uh, this place is not quite what I remembered, but if it is well developed, it really has a bright future. Old Emperor, why don't you consider it? ]
[But it’s a good thing that the delicate and tender King Cheng didn’t go. I wish you a quick death and a rebirth.]
The King of Death: You are so great, you are just standing there and making sarcastic remarks.
Everyone: So how did King Cheng die?
