In the second year of Zhenguan, the Great Tang suffered an unprecedented drought.
After a drought, locusts would often fill the sky.
In an instant, the entire Guanzhong region's grain production fell sharply.
People everywhere prayed for rain and burned incense to beg for forgiveness from the Locust God.
However, the effect was minimal.
In desperation, the current emperor, Li Shimin, personally issued a self-reproaching edict and posted it on the main road of the city gate. He reflected on himself and begged for forgiveness from the heavens.
...
In a small shop in Chang 'an.
Lin Feng, who was dressed in plain clothes, was sitting behind the counter in boredom.
Today was the day when the current emperor posted the edict of self-accusation. The customers who usually liked to come to his restaurant to eat and chat had all run over to watch the show.
Therefore, his store was much quieter today.
"There's still one more month. In another month, the system will be fully charged!”
Staring at the bright sunlight outside the door, Lin Feng leisurely stretched his back.
He was actually a transmigrator, and he had also transmigrated with a golden finger.
However, it seemed that the system's energy had been exhausted during the transmigration.
After giving him this small shop as a novice reward, the system entered a charging state.
Lin Feng, who was unfamiliar with this place, could only temporarily manage this small shop and slowly familiarize himself with this unfamiliar world.
After three months of improvements, his store also had some improvements.
"Shopkeeper, prepare a few side dishes and a jar of your good wine.”
Lin Feng stretched his back and was about to return to the table.
Two middle-aged men dressed in silk clothes rushed in from outside the door.
After entering, the two of them walked to a seat by the window and sat down.
And when Lin Feng saw the two of them, a smile appeared on his originally lazy face.
"What's wrong? Didn't the two brothers go to watch the show today?”
These two people claimed to be merchants who traveled everywhere.
After eating stir-fried vegetables at Lin Feng's place once, he was directly stunned by Lin Feng's culinary skills.
Every three to five days, she would come to his restaurant to eat.
The few of them came and went and became familiar with each other.
These two people called themselves Old Li and Old Du.
Although he didn't say what he did.
However, those who dared to wear silk were definitely not ordinary people.
Hence, Lin Feng had a deep impression of the two of them.
"Watch the show? What are you watching?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng's teasing, Old Li frowned slightly.
He, who had come to Lin Feng's place many times, naturally knew that the commotion this young man was referring to was none other than the emperor's edict of sin.
However, it was a subconscious reaction.
He still asked.
Old Du, who was sitting opposite him, chose to keep his mouth shut.
Instead, he poured a cup of tea for Old Li and himself.
This tea was something that could only be drunk in Lin Feng's store.
"Aren't you asking the obvious? Alright, the two of you can continue chatting."
Since there was business, Lin Feng naturally had to entertain it.
After Lin Feng left, Old Li, who was sitting by the window, had an extremely gloomy expression on his face.
"Old Du, do you think the emperor's edict is really just a 'lively'?”
After taking a sip of the tea that Old Du handed over, Old Li's voice sounded a little unsteady as he felt the lingering fragrance of the tea between his lips and teeth.
It was such a simple question, but it made Old Du, who was sitting opposite him and was obviously over 50 years old, break out in cold sweat.
"This... Perhaps it was just Shopkeeper Lin's joke. This person's words have always been licentious, you also know!”
"Is that so?"
...
These two people were actually not businessmen who traveled all over the world.
This Old Du was actually the famous prime minister of the current dynasty, Du Ruhui, who was known as Du Jue in the family planning!
The person sitting opposite him was the emperor who had just issued the edict of self-accusation, Li Shimin.
After the Han Dynasty, Confucianism had become the orthodox doctrine supported by the royal family.
Although the Li family had always respected him as the descendant of Laozi and Li Er after the Li Tang Dynasty, he was still a member of the Li family.
However, in today's world, Confucian scholars ruled.
Thus, in the imperial court, the Confucian doctrine of Heaven and Man was also exceptionally popular.
The Great Tang suffered from continuous droughts and locust plagues!
Under the pressure of the officials, Li Shimin could only unwillingly issue today's self-reproaching edict.
Reflect on yourself three times, and extinguish the wrath of heaven!
However, no one knew the grievance in his heart at this moment!
Hence, after issuing the decree of self-condemnation, he disguised himself and left the imperial palace. He ran over to Lin Feng's place and planned to drink some wine. He wanted to chat with this young shopkeeper who always had many wonderful ideas to ease the depression in his heart.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the edict of self-sin he had written with shame and unwillingness.
In Lin Feng's eyes, it was actually just a 'lively' sentence.
How could he not be angry?
Du Ruhui, who was sitting opposite Li Shimin, looked at Li Shimin, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
In his heart, he was also blaming Lin Feng for not keeping watch!
It was fine if His Majesty was in a good mood usually!
Why did you deliberately come to poke this hornet's nest today?
While the two of them were having their own thoughts.
Lin Feng had already carried a wine jar out of the kitchen.
When he saw Old Li sitting by the window, the word 'unhappy' was written all over his face.
He didn't think too much about it and sat down beside Old Li.
"What's wrong? What was troubling him? Why don't you tell me that you're in a good mood today? I'll give you some free advice!”
When he heard Lin Feng calling Li Shiming 'brother', Du Ruhui, who was sitting at the side, tactfully turned his face away.
This Shopkeeper Lin was still as good as ever!
