Chapter 186 Naming - Not a single one is pleasing to the ear.
The Ministry of War official, standing among the crowd inside the Zichen Palace, felt depressed for a moment.
His son is so handsome, he looks just like him, with rosy lips and white teeth.
"Humph."
The Ministry of War official froze, with Assistant Minister Jiang standing behind him.
Awkward, so embarrassing.
So, you know what the system is all about.
The system seemed to understand, but not quite.
[Host, you mean good-looking people are more likely to get into trouble?]
Shen Zhiyi fell silent.
That's true, but that's not what she meant!
What I mean is that the princess of Nandian has taken a liking to this censor, and this censor is exactly to her aesthetic sensibilities, so no matter how recklessly he acts, the princess can't bring herself to kill him!
The sudden appearance of the system's bewildered electronic eye in the sky startled Shen Zhiyi.
What are you doing showing up here all of a sudden?
[The system is still a baby; it doesn't understand emotions.]
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath.
You don't need to understand, you just need to know that you lost the bet, and you said that if I won, I would get milk tea and snail rice noodles.
Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but swallow.
She couldn't stand just thinking about it.
There are still no results yet!
Shen Zhiyi pouted. A war isn't something that can be fought in a short time. It seems her milk tea and snail rice noodles will have to wait a while.
Conservatively speaking, it would take at least a month.
Shen Zhiyi thought it would be a month, but it turned out that it wasn't even a month. By the end of the month, Nan Dian had been beaten to a pulp.
The old emperor, who received the news inside the Yanying Hall, couldn't suppress the joy on his face.
"good, very good."
Nan Dian announced his surrender and became a vassal state of the Grandfather.
The old emperor excitedly took out paper and pen and began to think about what name to give Nan Dian.
"Shen Zhiyi, think of a few names for me."
Shen Zhiyi was having a mental discussion with the system when she heard the old emperor's words and her expression didn't immediately catch on.
"What?! I'll do it?!"
"Yes, come here. Thinking of a name is really a headache. I've thought of these. Take a look."
Shen Zhiyi leaned closer out of curiosity, her pupils contracting slightly.
[System, did I misread it or am I unable to read?]
What on earth is this all about?
What kind of country is this?
[A land of rats?]
[A land of little people?]
[A Land of Scoundrels?]
【…】
Shen Zhiyi raised her head and met the old emperor's gaze in shock.
Goodness gracious, could an emperor have given such a name?
Why couldn't it have been the emperor who named it?
The old emperor felt that he had achieved great things with each one, and he would be distressed if he had to give up any one of them.
"Shen Zhiyi, which one do you think is the best, or you can take a few and we can see which one is better together later."
Shen Zhiyi, who hates naming things the most, puts on a mask of pain.
At this moment, the Crown Prince arrived and, seeing the old emperor and Shen Zhiyi choosing names, curiously came over.
"Dad, Shen Zhiyi, what are you two doing?"
"What should we name that country?"
The old emperor didn't even want to pronounce the words "Southern Madness".
Who is the Crown Prince? He is the old emperor's most beloved son, who understands his father very well and exposes him directly.
"Dad, you're so old, yet you still act like a child."
"Get lost, get lost, what a childish temper! You've come at the right time, come and suggest a few names too, we'll draw lots later."
The crown prince pondered for a moment and said, "Foolish country, simple, direct and clear."
[Pfft, what kind of harm could this idiot possibly cause? Oh dear, you little fool~]
The Crown Prince got goosebumps all over; Shen Zhiyi's shout felt strange.
The Crown Prince himself often calls his wife "little idiot," thinking that the "Idiot Kingdom" has no offensive capabilities whatsoever.
Makes sense.
The crown prince shrugged and refused to take it.
There's one word that's very offensive, but I don't like it.
The system asked curiously.
[Host, what does that word mean?]
[The antonym of "wisdom" here.]
The system and the people present were completely confused. What was this thing?
What is the antonym of "wisdom"?
Everyone gradually fell silent, waiting for Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts.
Generally speaking, Shen Zhiyi would definitely say it.
But generally speaking...
[Ahhhhh, host, how come I never thought this word was actually the antonym of "wisdom root"?]
The system felt like it had discovered a new continent.
Shen Zhiyi pouted.
I still prefer calling others idiots.
After a pause.
I don't understand why so many insults are related to women?
The system CPU burned out.
[Sorry, the system does not have answers to this question and cannot answer your question.]
The old emperor was itching to know, but Shen Zhiyi didn't explain what the antonym of "wisdom root" was for the rest of the day.
He then thought that the word "idiot" didn't seem so bad.
So after Nan Dian surrendered, he used even more insulting terms.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the very satisfied old emperor and had the imperial edict drafted and sent to the Southern Kingdom—no, now it's the Kingdom of Fools—and she didn't know what to say.
I think the world has gone mad.
[Giving names to other countries is practically a joke.]
The official, holding the imperial edict and about to leave, nodded vigorously in his heart.
That's so unconventional, it's too direct.
Perhaps Shen Zhiyi's existential skepticism was too intense, so the system found a few bizarre place names to comfort her.
[Host, there's a village in this world called Tomb Front.]
Shen Zhiyi offered her comments.
[This is a bit unlucky.]
[Host, this is nothing. There's a matching one, called "Behind the Grave."]
Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ?
[And there are also places called Niu Ma Shan (Ox and Horse Mountain), Chou Jiao Ya (Stinky Feet), Zhu Gou Ge Wu (Pig and Dog Den), Fang Pi Tang Shan (Fart Pond Mountain), Ba Ba Cun (Papa Village), Gou Shi Ling (Dog Shit Ridge)...]
Shen Zhiyi went from being shocked at first, then shocked again, until she became numb.
[Were the people who named these places feeling the same way the old emperor did?]
The old emperor, who had been mentioned, was now complaining that the system hadn't mentioned these place names sooner.
Look at the others behind him, each one has a stronger attack power than this stupid country.
Is it too late for him to change now?
When he looked up, the person who delivered the imperial edict had run away.
If they don't leave soon, the old emperor might end up making the name of the Southern Kingdom as long as a foreigner's name.
After everyone left, the old emperor washed his hands and asked Chen Decai a question.
"How's the progress at the Ministry of Works?"
[Just finished! That's amazing!]
Chen Decai's eyes darted around: "Your Majesty, I heard that progress seems to be going smoothly, and it should be completed on the day of departure."
"Ah, very good."
The old emperor wiped his hands: "How's the investigation going with those people from Hippo Kingdom?"
[Oh, the old emperor actually investigated those people from Hippo Kingdom. Those people have been gone from Hippo Kingdom for who knows how many years; the Hippo Kingdom's king thought they were dead abroad. They probably can't go back. He even drew up the important border defenses of Daye. How could we let them leave? His curiosity is truly excessive. Perhaps this is why there are so few foreigners.]
