Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 104: Start with a bowl
"That's normal!"

"If I beat the store manager, I'm going to write myself as super awesome!"

Huang Rong smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere.

After saying this, Huang Rong's face changed and she said:
"No, if I beat the store manager, I would be awesome!"

"Why are you still grooming yourself?"

Ye Jiangnan glared at Huang Rong who was sitting with Li Lizhi.

"Okay, let's continue with the introduction."

“During the introduction, everyone can ask questions.”

Ye Jiangnan started eating melon seeds.

You know what, this is much more interesting than watching TV or playing with your phone.

It's a bit like a gathering among friends.

Next was the self-introduction of Li Si and others.

The self-introductions of Meng Tian and others were fine, but when Li Si introduced himself, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

Li Si knew what they were thinking and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Qin Shi Huang snorted and said:
"I know what you're thinking."

"Li Si is still useful to me now!"

"I'm going to keep him!"

"It's Zhao Gao..."

-

Great Qin.

In a prison cell in Xianyang Palace.

"Let me see His Majesty!"

"Let me see His Majesty!"

Zhao Gao's hands and feet were tied tightly and he was hung on the beam of the house.

He was covered in wounds and his clothes were incomplete.

The pitch-black clothes were covered with bright red blood.

"To see His Majesty?"

"I'm afraid you won't have a chance in this life!"

A masked man in black standing next to Zhao Gao whipped him hard.

"Snapped--"

After one whip hit him, Zhao Gao screamed in pain.

He didn't dare to struggle. The more he struggled, the heavier the whip would hit him.

The more you struggle, the more painful the wounds on your body become.

"Please, let me see His Majesty!"

"please……"

Zhao Gao spoke weakly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a few more whips fell.

"If it weren't for His Majesty's order, I couldn't have beaten you to death."

"Otherwise, you would have died long ago!"

The man said in a cold voice.

"Let me see His Majesty...let me..."

Zhao Gao repeated it over and over again, his voice getting smaller and smaller.

After coming out of Hu Hai's mansion, he was first taken to Qin Shihuang.

Qin Shi Huang asked him how he had taught Hu Hai recently. Zhao Gao didn't dare to tell the truth and had to make up a story.

But unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang had been secretly monitoring him and Hu Hai.

After realizing that he had not taught Hu Hai well, Zhao Gao was brought here by Qin Shi Huang.

He didn't even have a chance to explain before he was brought here.

-

On Qin Shi Huang's side, Ye Jiangnan didn't say anything until Ying Yinman finished her introduction:

"King Tang, it's your turn."

Li Shimin stood up and said:

"I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty - Li Shimin!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly.

"Are you His Majesty Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shimin excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.

Li Shimin was frightened by his appearance.

Thinking of the scene where Zhu Yuanzhang questioned Qin Shihuang just now, Li Shimin guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang must be from later generations.

I just don’t know whether it is before me or after me.

Now after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Li Shimin no longer had to guess.

Zhu Yuanzhang must be from his descendants.

Could it be his own offspring?

His own Tang Dynasty, under his own governance, and last time the immortal said that Li Zhi also governed very well.

It seems that his Tang Dynasty will last forever!
"That's right! I am it!"

"I don't know, what generation of grandson are you?"

Li Shimin asked proudly.

While speaking, Li Shimin did not allow anyone to even look at Qin Shihuang.

That expression seemed to be saying: See how powerful our Tang Dynasty is!
Qin Shihuang glared back at Li Shimin unhappily.

"hold head high?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused by Qin Shihuang's words.

"Your Majesty, I am not your descendant."

Li Shimin: "???"

He's not my grandson, why were you so excited just now?
If you don’t know, you might think you are so excited because you met your ancestors.

"Then why are you so excited?"

Li Shimin said unhappily.

I just made myself happy for nothing!
And I embarrassed myself in front of so many people!
I'll find a chance and give you a good beating!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that Li Shimin was hated by him.

Not only Li Shimin, but also Qin Shihuang.

Having just refuted and rebuked him, Qin Shihuang silently decided to find an opportunity to trick Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:

"We have admired you for a long time!"

"You are a man of unrivaled valor, your military power has brought peace to the four directions, and your Zhenguan Reign has been a shining example of your literary virtue."

"He is a man who has the virtue of ruling the world and the merit of bringing peace to the world for eternity."

"The civil and military talents are outstanding, and the folk songs are joyful."

"The sun and the sky are as majestic as mountains!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin laughed happily:
"Hahahaha!"

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me!"

Li Shimin, who originally wanted to trick Zhu Yuanzhang, gave up the idea in an instant.

How can I cheat others when they praise me so much?
Tang Seng has been looking at Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin introduced himself, Tang Seng's eyes widened instantly.

Is it His Majesty who sent me out of Chang'an City?
But their appearance and personality are different.

Tang Seng was confused.

Could it be that I have been away from Chang'an for too long and His Majesty's appearance has changed?
But even if the appearance really changes, the memory will not change.

My appearance hasn't changed, so Your Majesty won't recognize me when he sees me?

Tang Seng didn’t understand and didn’t comprehend.

I plan to ask again later.

"Little Neng-kun!"

Little Sizi raised his head and shouted to Ye Jiangnan.

"what happened?"

Ye Jiangnan asked doubtfully.

Little Sizi pouted and said:
"What did that uncle say?"

"Why can't you understand, Sizi?"

"Why did Grandpa laugh so happily after hearing this?"

Ye Jiangnan explained:

"I'll explain them to you one by one."

"The so-called unrivaled heroism and military prowess means that your grandfather has great military talent!"

"The 'military conquest of the four directions' means that your grandfather conquered many parts of the Tang Dynasty with the help of military force."

"That uncle also built his own empire. He can understand how difficult it is to build and maintain an empire."

"So, he really admires your grandfather's achievements in this area!"

"And the meaning of 'Zhenguan Zhizhi', 'Shi Zhao Wen De', is that your grandfather was very good at governing the country."

"He learned from your grandfather's way of governing the country and gained a lot from it."

"And 'a man who has the virtue of ruling the world and the merit of bringing peace to the world for eternity' is his evaluation of your grandfather."

"This is a very high evaluation. It not only evaluates your grandfather's virtue as an emperor, but also evaluates your grandfather's historical achievements."

"Your grandfather is a man of both civil and military talents, and the people are singing and having fun. That means your grandfather is a man of both civil and military talents, and under his rule, the people live a happy life."

"The last sentence means that your grandfather's appearance is majestic and as brilliant as the sun, and his character is as unshakable as a mountain."

Ye Jiangnan did not deliberately speak in a low voice when explaining.

Everyone present heard it clearly.

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji and his companions showed smug looks on their faces.

Look, this is our Majesty!
How nice it sounds when others praise you!
It seems that I followed the right person!
It is so honorable to follow His Majesty!
Qin Shi Huang had a gloomy face.

I didn't expect that I was called a tyrant, while Li Shimin was praised so highly.

How do history books record ourselves?
Why do I seem like an unforgivable tyrant in the eyes of future generations?

Qin Shi Huang was unwilling to accept this and asked Ye Jiangnan:
"Immortal, is Emperor Tang really a wise ruler?"

When Li Shimin heard Qin Shihuang ask this, his face darkened.

"Qin Huang, what do you mean?"

"What did I do to you?"

"You can't stand seeing me praised by others, right?"

"I am humble and accept advice, I live frugally, I build and protect my country, how am I not a wise ruler?"

Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Yes, brothers killed each other and forced their own father to abdicate. What a wise ruler he is!"

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he stood up hurriedly, looking as if he was ready to fight with Qin Shihuang.

Qin Shi Huang was not afraid of Cheng Yaojin at all.

But Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Li Si around him stood up.

As long as Cheng Yaojin dared to come over, they would dare to go up and fight with Cheng Yaojin.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also stood up.

He looked at Meng Tian and the others opposite him with a menacing look.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Qin Shi Huang said.

Li Shimin clenched his fists under his dragon robe.

He could tolerate Qin Shihuang saying this about himself.

But she could not tolerate Qin Shihuang speaking like this about her in front of her daughter.

"Ying Zheng, don't go too far!"

Li Shimin said angrily.

He no longer called Qin Shihuang "Qin Emperor" out of politeness, but directly called him by his name.

"I just told the truth!"

Qin Shi Huang said lightly.

fight?

Qin Shi Huang was never afraid of anyone!
Seeing that they were about to take action, Ye Jiangnan waved his hand at them.

An invisible force made Li Shimin and Qin Shihuang and his companions sit back on the sofa.

"You can't do anything here."

"You can chat and talk, but you can't use your hands."

"If you really want to do it, please make an appointment."

"Either the King of Qin goes to the King of Tang, or the King of Tang goes to the King of Qin."

Ye Jiangnan said.

Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin only reacted when they heard Ye Jiangnan talking.

They are now here in Ye Jiangnan.

If we take action here, wouldn't that be equivalent to not giving Ye Jiangnan face?
"Immortal, we know we were wrong!"

Li Shimin and Qin Shihuang said in unison.

Ye Jiangnan nodded slightly.

"Ah."

"Remember to make an appointment."

"Please let me know once you've made the appointment."

"I really want to see who will win in a fight between you two."

Ye Jiangnan was serious and not joking.

He wanted to see who had higher "military power" between Li Shimin and Qin Shihuang.

The best pairings are Cheng Yaojin versus Wang Ben, Yuchi Gong versus Meng Tian, ​​and Qin Shubao versus Zhang Han.

"Okay! Immortal, after I have discussed this with Emperor Tang, I will invite you to watch it."

Ye Jiangnan: "Sure!"

"Okay, continue with your introductions."

Empress Chang Sun stood up and said:

"I am Empress Zhangsun, the Queen of the Tang Dynasty."

There is no need to introduce Empress Chang Sun, everyone knows her.

When Li Shimin just introduced himself, Empress Ma also guessed the identity of Empress Changsun.

Then Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin were introduced.

Next is Li Lizhi.

"I am Li Lizhi, the Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Lizhi and said:

"Unfortunately, our son Xiongying is already married."

"Otherwise, I really want our son to marry you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was serious when he spoke, not joking.

He didn't know much about Li Lizhi, but from her temperament, he could feel that this girl was a good person.

When Qin Shihuang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He stared straight at Li Lizhi.

This action caught Li Shimin's attention. "Ahem!"

Li Shimin coughed loudly twice before Qin Shihuang came back to his senses.

"what are you doing?"

Li Shimin said unhappily.

From the look in Qin Shihuang's eyes, Li Shimin saw that Qin Shihuang had evil intentions.

Could it be that this old guy has fallen in love with my daughter?
"I'm looking at my daughter-in-law!"

Qin Shi Huang said.

Li Shimin: "???"

"What do you mean, your daughter-in-law?"

Qin Shi Huang rubbed his hands and said:
"That...Emperor Tang!"

"I think your daughter is pretty good, how about we become relatives?"

"Look, we are both emperors. How great would it be to be in-laws?"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes.

"Forget it, don't even think about harming my daughter!"

"Besides, Li Zhi is already engaged, so don't make any plans!"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Li Shimin would agree to Qin Shihuang.

If he agreed, what would happen to his son Chang Sun Chong?
"Tsk, it's just an engagement!"

Qin Shi Huang said with disdain.

"At worst, I can find a reason to cancel the engagement."

Li Shimin: "..."

"Don't retreat!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Qin Shihuang curled his lips and stopped talking.

You must be stingy!
"Sizi, it's your turn to introduce yourself."

Ye Jiangnan gently pushed Xiao Sizi who was sitting next to him.

"it is good!"

Little Sizi stood on the sofa and said in a crisp voice:
"I am Li Mingda, Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty. You can also call me Sizi!"

“I’m four years old!”

"He's a big kid!"

"Oh, yes, I am Xiao Nengjun's apprentice!"

"I'm not engaged yet!"

When everyone heard Xiao Sizi's last words, they all laughed.

"Hahaha!"

"What a cute girl doll!"

Queen Ma said with a smile.

"Little Sizi, can you come over and let me hug you?"

Queen Ma was attracted by the cute appearance of little Sizi.

"Okay, okay!"

Little Sizi jumped off the sofa and ran towards Queen Ma.

She likes being hugged the most.

Queen Ma hugged little Sizi in her arms and kissed her on her pink and tender face.

"What a cute little guy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement.

"Yes!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something and asked Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, my grandson..."

"no!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish his words, Ye Jiangnan interrupted him.

"Fairy..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Jiangnan in confusion.

"Sizi is still young, let's talk about marriage later."

Ye Jiangnan said.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shimin, wanting to hear what Li Shimin thought.

After all, Xiao Sizi's father is Li Shimin.

"I listen to the immortal."

Li Shimin said.

He himself really had no intention of finding a husband for Xiao Sizi right now.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and had to give up the idea in his mind.

Slowly, he shifted his gaze to Ying Yinman.

"Dont look at me!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Qin Shi Huang said unhappily.

How could he possibly become Zhu Yuanzhang's relative when Zhu Yuanzhang had said that about him before?

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Ye Jiangnan looked at the little Sizi in Queen Ma's arms, thinking silently about his own arrangements.

It’s not that he is “jealous”.

But Ye Jiangnan has not yet cured little Sizi, and doesn't want little Sizi to be tied up.

Little Sizi is less than four years old, a little over three years old.

I have no idea about marriage at all.

If I marry myself off without thinking straight, won't I cry and regret it later?
Moreover, Ye Jiangnan also didn't want Xiao Sizi to get involved with Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Ming Dynasty was even more chaotic than after Li Shimin's death.

If Xiao Sizi marries him, who knows what will happen.

Xiao Xiangcheng then started to introduce:

"I am Princess Li Anlan of Xiangcheng."

After the introduction, Ye Jiangnan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:
"Please introduce yourself."

When it was his turn to introduce himself, Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly.

"cough!"

Qin Shi Huang said:

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Then don't introduce yourself, let your queen come."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"

"No, I'll introduce it now."

"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty—Zhu Yuanzhang!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and said nothing more.

Li Shimin, Qin Shihuang and others blinked and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion.

"Keep talking!"

Qin Shi Huang said unhappily.

"That's all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"I mean, tell me everything you have done and how you came to be Ming Dynasty!"

Qin Shihuang said speechlessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused when he heard this.

"But didn't His Majesty Taizong say anything just now?"

When Li Shimin introduced it, he did not ask for a clear introduction.

Why did it change when it came to me?
Li Shimin then explained:

"I didn't say anything more. The Emperor Qin knew everything about me, so I didn't say anything more."

"We don't know you, so of course you have to introduce yourself clearly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized what it meant.

"Okay, okay, then I'll give you a brief introduction."

"I am Zhu Yuanzhang, originally named Zhu Chongba."

"When I was born, the country was in its last years. People were living in poverty and many were destitute and could not even afford food."

"Thanks to the love and care of my parents and brothers, I managed to survive until I was sixteen."

"And that year, my hometown happened to suffer from a severe drought and locust plague."

"My parents and elder brother passed away one after another, and I have been alone and helpless ever since."

"In order to make a living, I entered Huangjue Temple as a monk. Later, because the temple was unable to maintain itself, I was forced to wander around begging for alms."

At this point, Qin Shi Huang interrupted and said:
"Huangjue Temple? Monk?"

"what is that?"

This was the first time that Qin Shihuang heard the words "Huangjue Temple" and "monk".

Zhu Yuanzhang explained:

"Huangjue Temple is where the monks live."

"As for the monks...just look at that monk over there."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Monk Tang who was meditating over there.

Qin Shi Huang looked over curiously.

then……

Didn't understand.

"We'll explain it later. Let me tell you about myself first."

"When I was 26 years old, I met a few like-minded friends and joined the rebel army."

"Our rebel army has defeated countless enemies and various separatist forces, and my position in the rebel army has also risen."

"When I was forty years old, I finally defeated all the separatist forces and finally unified the world!"

Li Shimin: "???"

Qin Shi Huang: “???”

other people:"???"

Except for Ye Jiangnan and Queen Ma, everyone else looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in amazement.

“Are you sure this is your experience!?”

Qin Shi Huang exclaimed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"You didn't deliberately make up a story to deceive us?"

Li Shimin asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

"You mean, you were a child from a poor family, you were a beggar, you were a monk, and finally you became the emperor?"

Li Shimin said in surprise.

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily.

"Big Brother, check to see if he is lying!"

Zhu Bajie pushed Sun Wukong next to him.

"See, he didn't lie!"

Sun Wukong said calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and said:
"What happen to you guys?"

"Everything we say is true!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed:
"It's better for us to listen to it."

"That thing called 'I' doesn't sound good at all."

Everyone: "..."

Qin Shi Huang looked at Ye Jiangnan and asked:
"Immortal, is what he said true?!"

He was not sure whether what Zhu Yuanzhang said was true, so he asked Ye Jiangnan,
The main reason is that what Zhu Yuanzhang said was too outrageous.

Being able to become an emperor is something that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Ye Jiangnan nodded and said:
"He's really right."

"He really started with a broken bowl and ended up on the throne."

Qin Shihuang, who originally looked down on Zhu Yuanzhang, now looks at him with new eyes.

Sure enough, those who can become emperors are either too stupid or too cruel.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang sounded calm and composed, the difficulties involved were beyond the reach of most people.

From a beggar!

He became the emperor!

How strong is this ability?
Everyone couldn't figure out where they lost.

This was not what Li Shimin and Qin Shihuang thought.

This was what was in the minds of important ministers such as Meng Tian and Zhangsun Wuji.

In terms of family background, they are much stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang!

In terms of talent, they are better than Zhu Yuanzhang!

In terms of appearance, she's not that bad.

So what on earth could have gone wrong to make him the emperor?

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly held Empress Ma's hand and said:

"The fact that I became emperor was not due to my own efforts alone."

"It was my brothers and my queen who helped me to establish the Ming Dynasty!"

When everyone heard this, they thought Zhu Yuanzhang was being modest.

"Be humble! Be humble!"

Li Shimin said.

"If you have no talent and no ability, why would they be willing to assist you!?"

"After all, you still have the ability."

"admire!"

Li Shimin admired Zhu Yuanzhang from the bottom of his heart.

Who can not admire him for starting with a bowl and ending up sitting on the throne?

Qin Shihuang secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang several times.

"I didn't expect that this person, who doesn't look that good, has such strong abilities."

Qin Shi Huang thought to himself,
The look in Tang Monk's eyes when he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang was also full of admiration.

"awesome!"

"I, Old Sun, admire people like you!"

Sun Wukong gave Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up.
