Chapter 269 It’s cold everywhere
Lin Xuanzhi, General Lei and Emperor Zi’an were extremely worried. If this was really the spirit tablet of His Majesty, then the eldest prince would be dead!
[Don’t worry, the eldest brother is timid and dare not set up a spirit tablet for his father]
Emperor Tiansheng: ...
I am finally relieved. This eldest son still has a conscience.
But whose spirit tablet is this?
Emperor Tiansheng lifted the red silk covering the spirit tablet, and a name appeared on it, shocking everyone present.
Emperor Xuanlang!
"Why are you setting up a tablet for yourself?"
The great tyrant's face fell.
Emperor Xuanlang wanted to cry o(╥﹏╥)o
It's over!
However...
"Daddy, come back, come back, there are such huge gold ingots." At some point, Abao went into the inner room and came out with a gold ingot that was even bigger than her, covered in gold foil.
Abao's head popped out from behind the gold ingot.
"Di Xuanlang, why are you doing this?" The tyrant stared at his eldest son, who he hadn't seen for a year, and why did he do something so weird that he couldn't understand?
The eldest prince was worrying about how to explain.
[I know, I know]
The tyrant pricked up his ears.
The eldest prince secretly looked at Abao.
A Bao stroked his chin and smiled, "Big brother was afraid that he would be a poor ghost after his death, so before he died, he set up a tablet for himself and burned gold ingots. When he returned a hundred years later, he would be a rich ghost. He was saving money for his next life in advance."
"But Big brother didn't know that although these paper money were burned for his spirit tablet, he was not dead. The burned paper money became someone else's. He wasted his thoughts and made wedding clothes for others. Tsk tsk, when Big brother died, he would still be a poor ghost
." No, no.
The eldest prince just wanted to hug the tenth sister and explain it to her.
Lian'er said that as long as the money was burned for his memorial tablet, even if he was still alive, after he died, the money would be his.
He was burning it for himself in advance, so how could it become someone else's?
"You want to die?" The tyrant widened his eyes, simply not believing his eldest son's thoughts.
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? 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. You actually think about dying and becoming rich every day!
The people in Lingnan are suffering from the epidemic and living in dire straits, while you are stacking gold ingots and saving money for your next life! What are you thinking? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
The eldest prince was scolded and knelt on the ground with his head down, not daring to raise it.
"Your Majesty, 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 mouse?"
"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 Abao sighing in his heart, [The eldest brother is similar to the third brother in one thing, he is afraid of death]
[But the third brother is afraid of death. His life goal was to become an emperor at first, but later I don’t know what happened to the third brother. The third brother’s life goal changed. He just wanted to be an idle prince, eating and waiting to die]
[But the eldest brother’s life goal is still to become an emperor. As the saying goes, a prince who doesn’t want to be an emperor is not a good prince. The eldest brother’s life ideal is very big, but the eldest brother’s ability... does not match this ideal.
Ahem, I guess that after arriving in Lingnan, the eldest brother knew what he was capable of, but he was unwilling to give up. He was afraid of death but didn't want to disobey his father, so he thought of a way to move to the mountains to live and wait for the epidemic to disappear.
But unexpectedly, the epidemic in Lingnan became more and more serious. The eldest brother saw that he couldn't make it, and he didn't dare to run back to the capital. What could he do?
It was cold anyway, so he thought about his next life.
Hey, in the book I read before, how did the eldest brother die? Let me think about it】
【I remembered it! The eldest brother disobeyed the emperor's order, failed in his work, and was ashamed to be alive. He hanged himself on a loess hill with a white silk. 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.
The great tyrant, Emperor Zi'an and the eldest prince looked at A Bao after hearing this.
A Bao was unaware and sat on the back of the gold ingots, cracking melon seeds.
The eldest prince didn't dare to cry.
He, he, he, he, died so miserably?
Thinking of his room full of gold ingots, he was in vain.
He stacked gold ingots day and night, and even risked being infected with the plague several times at night 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 pave the way for him to be rich in his next 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 angry with me. It's not worth it."
"It's good that you know it's not worth it." The tyrant's eyebrows jumped with anger.
This eldest son, when he came to Lingnan before, he said something sharp. I didn't expect that when the time came, he would play the trick of escaping from the battlefield!
However, although this child has limited ability and cannot take on this important task, there is one thing that makes the tyrant very happy.
That is - obedient.
He would rather commit suicide than think of usurping the throne.
Although he had always wanted to be the emperor, the tyrant had seen through it. This eldest son really didn't have the ability to take the throne.
"It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. You should get up first." The tyrant sighed.
The eldest prince was surprised. Father, are you forgiving him now?
Woohoo.
He was so excited.
The excitement made his legs weak, and he 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?"
Master Baiyun wiped his sweat, "Excuse me, eldest prince."
The eldest prince knelt and walked over, "That is, I burned silver for myself in advance, will it really be useless after I die?"
Master Baiyun: "..."
The big tyrant: "..."
This stupid son, still thinking about money, money!
How cowardly and greedy! He has to hold the money even after he dies.
[Hehe, my eldest brother was used by someone and didn't even know it, and he still foolishly believed such stupid words]
[When a person dies, everything is over. As the saying goes, one comes with nothing and leaves with nothing. How can a person make plans for afterlife and save money during his lifetime?]
A Bao was cracking melon seeds, which smelled delicious.
The eldest prince was already numb.
Taoist Master Baiyun cleared his throat, "Eldest prince, what you just said was just nonsense and should not be taken seriously."
In other words, you have been deceived!
