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

As soon as Mr. Meng walked into the imperial study, he wanted to kneel down and salute.

"Eunuch Zhao, help Elder Meng up quickly. Next time when Elder Meng comes to visit me, there will be no need to perform such a grand ceremony."

But Mr. Meng insisted on kneeling, and Manager Zhao could only look at the emperor.

The emperor stood up, handed Lin Shu to Chief Steward Zhao, and personally went to help Mr. Meng up.

Elder Meng burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I am old and confused. I almost realized your majesty's important matter."

"Not only did you not blame me, you also took good care of me."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Meng? I still need to rely on you. I'm sure you already understand what's going on in the court. I still need your help."

"In addition, the school I am going to set up also needs Mr. Meng's help. I hope you and your students can serve as teachers."

Mr. Meng nodded and agreed. "I will write a letter to my good friend, asking him to come to Beijing and help me share the emperor's worries."

The emperor's face lit up with joy, "But Mr. Chen?"

"That's right, but I don't know if he will come in person."

"That's great. If Elder Chen doesn't come, I'm willing to go and ask him to come out of retirement myself."

After hearing this, Mr. Meng was even more grateful, and then he changed the subject.

"I wonder if the recent rumors in the market are the work of your Majesty?"

"It can't be hidden from Mr. Meng's eyes."

Mr. Meng's expression became serious and his look was very solemn.

"Your Majesty, this move is too much. I am afraid that it will provoke the enemy to do something desperate. Although Your Majesty not only has the imperial guards at hand, but also has transferred back an army."

"But you have to know that it is easy to dodge an open attack, but it is hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."

The emperor's heart tightened, and he immediately understood what Mr. Meng meant.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Meng. I have learned about this and will be more careful."

"I am glad that your Majesty understands. I will take my leave now."

After seeing Mr. Meng off, the emperor returned to the imperial study and looked at Lin Shu deeply.

"Manager Zhao, check everyone around me and the princess thoroughly."

"Here."

The emperor took Lin Shu from Chief Eunuch Zhao.

"Fubao, Daddy will protect you."

Lin Shu screamed wildly in his heart.

[Dad, my dear dad, please don’t set crazy flags for me. I’m scared.]

The emperor didn't understand what it meant, he only understood that his beloved daughter was afraid.

He patted Lin Shu gently, "Don't be afraid, Fubao, Daddy will definitely protect you."

Lin Shu: …

【as long as you are happy. 】

Yang Zhize couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the books at home.

In addition, the kiln factory has already begun to experiment with firing, so the Marquis's Mansion will soon be able to make a fortune, and his position as the crown prince will be more secure.

"Come here, send these books to the clan school."

With these, his Yang family will definitely be able to make further progress.

Just then, a man came running in, crawling.

"Your Majesty, it's not good."

Yang Zhize kicked the man to the ground and said, "What's the point of making so much noise?"

The servant knelt down respectfully and said, "Master, there are many vendors selling books outside! Although I can't read, I think they are no different from those at home."

"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Yang Zhize started to walk away, but because he was too anxious, he was tripped by a servant kneeling in front of him. He stood up and kicked the servant in anger before hurriedly walking out again.

When he arrived at the marketplace, he saw people gathered in several places.

Not only students, but also some ordinary people were scrambling to buy books.

Yang Zhize walked quickly to the crowd and stretched out his hand to push people aside.

As a result, he didn't push others, but was bumped by the people doing physical work and fell to the ground.

His nostrils opened and closed in anger, panting like an old cow. "You are rebelling, you are rebelling."

At this time his entourage finally arrived.

"Pull these people away!"

He got up from the ground and squeezed in through the path opened by his followers.

I snatched the book from someone else's hand and started flipping through it. It was exactly the same as the book at home.

He was immediately furious, "Where did you get these books?"

"You lowly people are worthy of reading? Can you touch this book?"

After saying that, he tore the book in his hand into pieces, threw it hard on the ground, and crushed it with his feet.

I wish I could grind these books into ashes.

He had just torn the books into pieces when he heard hawking sounds from the other side.

"New books have arrived, 90 wen each, first come, first served."

The people around Yang Zhize swarmed over.

He was bumped by those people several times. If he hadn't been supported by his followers, he would have fallen flat on his face again.

When had he, a prince, ever suffered such an injustice?

He raised his hand and pointed at the group of people, and said to his followers, "Go, beat them up for me."

"These lowly people, lackeys. Do they really think they can make a name for themselves just by getting two books?"

The attendants beside him looked at the dozens of people in front of them and dared not step forward. "Prince, why don't we call more people over? It would be bad for you if these lowly people hurt you, Prince."

After hearing this, Yang Zhize kicked his follower hard on the butt, "Go now!"

Soon the entourage brought a group of people, holding sticks in their hands, and rushed towards the students and people who were buying books.

Before they rushed over, they heard someone shouting.

"Someone, help! The prince of Mingyuan is beating up civilians in the street. Someone is going to die."

When those who were buying books heard the noise, they turned around to check and saw Yang Zhize urging his followers to come towards them.

Originally, those students and common people had a lot of complaints against the aristocratic families, but after all, they were nobles and they could not afford to offend them, so they could only bury their anger in their hearts.

Now these noble families are so arrogant that they are going to beat them in the street.

Even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry, let alone those people who have been oppressed by the aristocratic families for a long time.

Yang Zhize's action instantly made people's anger reach its peak.

The people picked up their shoulder poles or farm tools and began to resist.

The students did not have good physical fitness, so they hid behind and occasionally used borrowed weapons to hit those people from behind.

Some simply go and call for help.

Yang Zhize had never seen such a scene before. He was so shocked that he stayed where he was and forgot to run away. By the time he reacted, he was surrounded by the crowd.

People started beating him up.

Yang Zhize's followers had already been beaten unconscious.

After an unknown amount of time, someone shouted, "The patrol inspectors are here!"

The crowd dispersed and slipped away through other roads.

When the inspection team arrived, all that was left was a mess, and Yang Zhize and his servants were lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

Upon receiving the news, Marquis Mingyuan hurried back home, only to find out that his son had been beaten to death.

Even the Inspection Department couldn't find anyone involved.

Mingyuanhou's body trembled continuously due to anger, and finally his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
