Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

They didn't understand, but Mencius naturally understood, and this was tacitly acknowledged by his grandfather.

He leaned closer to his grandfather's students, "Grandfather has tacitly agreed. Can you be smarter and not make me explain it so clearly?"

"Grandfather, don't you have any dignity?"

A few people took another secret glance and felt that what Mencius said might be true.

At this time, news from the palace had also arrived.

"His Majesty is resting and may not be able to see you. You can kneel if you want."

Manager Zhao glanced at Mr. Meng and then at Meng Zidu before continuing, "But your majesty sympathizes with Mr. Meng. You should just rest in the carriage."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

When the students saw Manager Zhao's attitude, they started talking about it.

The voice of the fish in troubled waters appeared again: "Your Majesty does not take us students seriously. This is a disregard for us."

Meng Zidu remained calm upon hearing this. He believed that the emperor must have arranged people to catch all these people.

When Elder Meng heard this, he staggered to his feet in excitement, "Your Majesty, why don't you see me? If you don't see me, I will hit my head and die here."

Hearing this, Manager Zhao was a little unsure and turned to face Meng Changan, but his eyes were on Meng Zidu.

Mencius nodded imperceptibly to Manager Zhao.

Manager Zhao then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "No one is forcing you to do this. If you insist on seeking death, then go ahead."

After saying that, he turned and left again.

Mr. Meng looked as if Heaven was going to destroy Dayan, and was about to hit the ground.

Mencius and several students hurriedly stopped them.

"Teacher, I'm sorry." A student whispered in Mr. Meng's ear, then pinched Mr. Meng's neck, and Mr. Meng fainted.

Several people carried Mr. Meng into the car in a panic.

Meng Zidu, with a look of grief and indignation on his face, continued to kneel in front of the palace gate.

Now the people hiding in the crowd were even more excited.

"Your Majesty actually made Old Meng so angry that he wanted to commit suicide. I'm afraid he is determined to make elixirs and seek immortality. Is such a Majesty really worthy of our following?"

Although many students did not agree, the seeds of doubt had been planted in their hearts.

If the emperor really did this, and was devoted to seeking immortality and refining elixirs, which led to public resentment and misery, is it really worth following?

The emperor in the imperial study listened to the secret guard's report, smiled slightly, pinched Lin Shu's nose, and spoke slowly.

"These people really can't hold back anymore. Have you found out who these people belong to? Are they the same people who secretly helped Minister Xin search for the sorcerer?"

"Yes. Okay, keep an eye on those guys."

Lin Shu was stunned at this moment.

[What's going on? I just took a nap, but when I woke up, I couldn't understand anything. ]

[When did Daddy find out all this? I didn't know anything about it! Did Daddy want to follow the clues to find the real culprit behind the scenes and then catch him all at once?]

[Dad, this is too powerful. I just wonder if Dad knows that these noble families also have private soldiers. If Dad makes any big moves rashly, I'm afraid the noble families will not sit idly by. ]

When the emperor heard Lin Shu's thoughts, he was delighted and was praised by his precious daughter.

As for what Lin Shu said, he naturally had his considerations. He had secretly sent a team of soldiers back, and the letter on his desk was the result of this negotiation.

These were prepared just to deal with the several aristocratic families that were causing trouble this time.

Even if we cannot completely eradicate these families, we must at least injure them and make an example of them to scare the others so that they will behave themselves.

The insects outside the window were working hard to eat the leaves, unaware of the danger. But in a moment, they became delicacies in the mouths of birds.

When the emperor saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"It looks like the net is about to close."

At this time, there were not only students but also many ordinary people gathered at the palace gate.

People's dissatisfaction has been brought to a peak by some people with ulterior motives.

Someone in the crowd threw a rotten egg at the imperial guards. This was like a signal, and more and more things were thrown out by people with ulterior motives.

At this moment, some people got excited and wanted to rush out.

Fortunately, they were held back by the relatively calm people around them, while those who were instigated broke free from their companions' hands and rushed out directly, wanting to vent their dissatisfaction.

It would not be said that these people wanted to rebel, they just wanted to find a way to vent their inner emotions.

Relying on what people around him said that the law does not punish everyone, he wanted to rush out and be the first to take action.

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the people with the purpose retreated and prepared to slip away from the crowd. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the crowd, they were taken away, their jaws were removed, and their mouths were checked for drugs.

It was at this moment that Eunuch Zhao's shrill voice rang out.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

The chaotic crowd suddenly quieted down, and those who were planning to sneak away were escorted to the front of the crowd.

The emperor held Lin Shu in his arms and looked at everyone with a smile. His face was serious but not angry.

For a moment, people were a little confused. How could His Majesty not be angry?

The emperor also gave them their answer at this time.

"I did find a sorcerer to enter the palace, but it was not to seek immortals as you thought."

"As for the gathering this time, I will not bother with you because I think you are loyal and you were instigated by the villains."

At this point the emperor changed the subject, looked at those people, and spoke with murderous intent.

"Those who spread rumors and slander the emperor will be executed by slow slicing, and all nine generations of their family will be punished by being torn apart by a chariot."

"If you expose the accomplices, your entire clan will be exiled, but you will be exempt from the death penalty."

The people who were caught gritted their teeth and refused to say anything.

"Don't cry until you see the coffin. Bring up their families."

When they heard this, they were shocked and looked up at the emperor in disbelief.

Their family leader clearly said that he would protect their family members! How could their family members be in the hands of the emperor?

As their families came into their sight trembling, they finally believed it. It turned out that everything they had done was tacitly approved by the emperor.

They were suddenly filled with despair. Listening to their family members' sobbing and calling, some of them could not bear it any longer and wanted to give out the mastermind behind the incident.

This was an arrow that was about to hit the prisoner's chest, but was stopped by a secret guard.

Eunuch Zhao shouted to protect the emperor. What was there for the people to understand at this time? They were all being used!

At this time, the troops recalled by the emperor had arrived and directly imposed martial law on the entire imperial city.

For a time, people were in panic and everyone was worried.

[At this time, if Daddy speaks to appease the people, he can gain some goodwill and attract hatred from the people behind the scenes.]

[Tsk tsk, I'm afraid that by then, even without Daddy having to do anything himself, the people will be able to overthrow these families.]

The emperor listened to Lin Shu's thoughts and spoke to comfort him at the right time, "Don't scare the people during the search. If I find anyone taking advantage of the opportunity to bully the people, I will punish them according to military law."

After saying that, he glanced at Eunuch Zhao. Of course, Eunuch Zhao didn't understand.

"If it weren't for these traitors, the people wouldn't have been in this situation."

Seeing that those traitors were about to confess their mastermind, the emperor gave Butler Zhao a look, indicating that he should take those people away first. After all, his goal had been achieved.

Moreover, if the people who cannot get the correct answer are left to guess on their own, then the impression of all the aristocratic families in the hearts of the people will be lowered.

If we let these people speak out on the spot, it would be a bad thing to force them into desperate situations.

When people heard that the emperor still cared about them, they no longer cared about the eye contact between the emperor and others.

I just felt like I was a worthless person who was so easily provoked. I was touched but also hated the person behind the scenes.

Seeing this situation, Lin Shu couldn't help but sigh.

[As expected of my father, he thinks the same as me. 】

The emperor sighed softly and continued, "Since many students are here at this time, I am going to take this opportunity to show them something."

Lin Shu stared at his father in confusion.

[What is my dad going to do again? ]
