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

Chapter 37: What can compare to the delicious chicken drumsticks?

Murong Xun turned and looked at the sky outside the door.

"Shen Xi, I am different from you. In fact, I have no way out."

"Like I said in the teahouse before, since your majesty has already laid out the bait, even I can only take the bait obediently."

"From the beginning to the end, this is the only way I have."

There was a look of confusion in Shen Xi's eyes. Murong Xun had already expected this and continued to explain to him.

"The Legalists are short of talent. Have you heard of other Legalists besides me?"

Shen Xi shook his head blankly.

"You know best how many years I can live. After I die, the decline of the Legalist family is inevitable."

"I don't want the Legalists to end up in my hands."

Shen Xi was still a little confused, "But didn't His Majesty say that he would print books for us? As long as the books are printed, they can be passed down."

Murong Xun turned around and looked at Shen Xi deeply. "There are many schools of thought nowadays. If there is no one who can show off, who would buy the books of that school?"

Shen Xi looked suddenly enlightened at first, but then became confused again.

"What does that have to do with you giving the chief's token to His Majesty?"

Murong Xun suddenly felt a little tired, but there was nothing he could do about Shen Xi, the fool. He could only continue to explain.

"I serve Your Majesty, and I only represent myself. As long as I die, it is still unknown who the Fa family will obey. As long as Your Majesty can accept the token for the princess, then the entire Fa family will obey Your Majesty's orders."

"Your Majesty is in need of someone, so he will definitely take over for the princess."

"And I will also inform everyone in the Fa family that the princess will be the next leader of the Fa family."

"In this way, at least on the surface, the leader of the Fa family is the princess."

"Papermaking, book printing, and the academy were all the princess's creation."

Murong Xun said this and just looked at Shen Xi quietly.

Shen Xi swallowed his saliva and tentatively guessed: "So, it is reasonable for the princess to promote the Legalist thought."

"Not only printing books, but also academies, the Legalist thought will not disappear."

"Even if the civil society doesn't work, there is still..."

Before Shen Xi finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his head.

"Yes, the Legalist ideology requires entering the court to prove itself. This is actually a shortcut."

Shen Xi hadn't finished getting excited yet, but suddenly he became depressed again.

"Aren't you plotting against His Majesty? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty..."

Shen Xi then made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The disdain in Murong Xun's eyes was about to fade away, but now it became intense again.

"Do you think that everyone is just like you, and that you have to explain things to them in a straightforward manner in order for them to understand?"

"Since His Majesty has accepted it for the princess, it means that he wants to use the French family and is willing to protect one or two."

"Even if we talk about calculation, the only person who was calculated in this matter is probably the little princess who can't even speak yet."

Shen Xi finally understood everything and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, the princess is so pitiful. She got a master for no reason. She also shoulders the responsibility of reviving the Legalist school."

"Murong Xun, you are so evil. You even take advantage of a dumb baby."

When Murong Xun heard Shen Xi's words, he looked at Shen Xi in disbelief. He really shouldn't have had too much hope in Shen Xi.

With that brain of his, I’m afraid he won’t grow at all in his lifetime.

Murong Xun's chest rose and fell violently for several times before slowly calming down.

He silently took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve, took out a pill and put it in his mouth before speaking.

"Shen Xi, you better shut up."

"I'm afraid that I won't die of illness, but will be pissed off to death by you."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Shen Xi muttered, "I'm not wrong. This fox is still so stingy, and he gets angry and runs away at the slightest provocation."

The emperor in the palace laughed so hard when he heard the story.

Lin Shu first laughed foolishly with his teeth bared, but then he started to cry.

She wished she could throw away the jade pendant that the emperor had hung on her.

[How come I got shot even when I was lying down? ]

[I can't even walk, I can't carry this burden. ]

[I'm really not interested in reviving the Legalists or anything like that. ]

Lin Shu looked angrily at the emperor who was smiling happily.

[I am your father's servant, and I took over the jade pendant. The burden should also be yours! ]

After the emperor finished laughing, he quickly came to coax Lin Shu.

"Fubao, don't cry. Daddy will hold you. Are you scared by Murong the fox?"

"Don't be afraid, Fubao, you have your father. He will help you manage the Fa family in the future."

Lin Shu resisted by using her small hands to push the emperor's face away.

[Your business, and you still say you are helping me! It is obviously you who is bullying me, Daddy is the worst person in the world. ]

The emperor could only coax Lin Shu with soft words until he fell asleep, and then he continued to review memorials until late at night.

Even though he was tired, the emperor's smile remained unchanged.

Finally, he has more people he can use.

That night, besides the emperor, the Mohists also stayed up all night.

Since Su Zhuyue met the emperor, she told her father about her plan, and today all the important figures of the Mohist School gathered nearby.

"Su Zhuyue, are you serious? His Majesty really wants you to work."

The Mohists still found it hard to believe. For many years, the Mohists had not been taken seriously, and people only regarded them as craftsmen.

Whether in the previous dynasty or today, the status of craftsmen is low, which leads to the Mohist school being often looked down upon.

Now that Su Zhuyue is valued by the emperor, how can we not be happy? Perhaps, this is the opportunity for the rise of Mohism.

Su Zhuyue nodded solemnly, "Sure, I have also looked for people who have seen His Majesty at the palace gate these days."

"The appearance people describe is consistent with the young man who bought my mechanical ball."

"It shouldn't be wrong."

The Mo family members were overjoyed, "Then shall we go to the academy tomorrow?"

Su Zhuyue also looked at her father expectantly.

Father Su hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let it be so."

"But it's not good to come empty-handed. In addition to the box of the mechanism that Zhu Yue gave us, we must show some sincerity."

Mohist school immediately understood what the master meant.

The next day, Lin Shu was sleeping soundly and was about to put the chicken leg in front of him into his mouth.

She was awakened by the noisy voice of her emperor father.

"Fubao, Mojia went to the academy to find me, and asked someone to bring me some good things."

"Fubao, wake up quickly, Daddy will show you something good."

The chicken leg in Lin Shu’s dream grew wings and flew away.

[My chicken drumstick...]

The emperor pinched Lin Shu's little face with an expression of disapproval.

I thought to myself: What’s so good about chicken legs? They are not as interesting as the things sent by Mo family.

Lin Shu felt extremely aggrieved and opened his eyes reluctantly with a hum.

[The chicken drumsticks I've been dreaming about day and night, how can the things given by the Mo family compare to the delicious big chicken drumsticks. Humph.]

[If there is nothing more interesting than chicken legs, I will ignore the stinky daddy. ]
