Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress
Chapter 44 Rumors
"God-making plan?" The emperor paused as he picked up the teacup. "Murong Xun, this conflicts with your Legalist philosophy."
Murong Xun took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Special times call for special things. Besides, the princess is a supernatural being. I am just speaking based on the facts. It cannot be said that there is any conflict of ideas."
He placed the teacup on the table and looked at the emperor.
"Besides, the princess is the only special person. If a supernatural person still abides by the law and discipline like everyone else, wouldn't it better demonstrate the ideals of our legalists?"
The emperor paused for a moment while looking at the tea in the cup, and then whispered, "People change. Aren't you afraid that she will grow up and become uncontrollable? Or that I will use her status as a princess to do something?"
Murong Xun pinched his knuckles and laughed softly.
"The princess is kindhearted, and His Majesty is determined to change the status quo. Everything he does is for Dayan."
"I believe your Majesty."
The emperor looked at Murong Xun with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Finally, he drank up the tea in the cup.
He continued, "So what are your plans for creating a god?"
"Your Majesty, printing is now a thing, and everyone in the world knows about it, but no one knows its origin."
"The people have benefited greatly, and most of them are grateful for your majesty's kindness."
"If the princess playing with seals is reminiscent of printing, even though the people's gratitude cannot be fully converted into the princess's favor, the princess will always gain something."
"At the same time, this statement is not too abrupt and can be more accepted by those who read books."
“I won’t be too averse to this matter.”
"As long as this campaign is successful, future rumors will be more easily believed and accepted by people."
The emperor groaned, "The king's power is granted by God, and it has been so since ancient times. If Fu Bao's miraculous powers are recognized by the world, she will be safer."
When he thought of this, he thought of Lin Shu's worries. She was worried that she would be burned to death as a monster.
If this could really be accomplished, not only would Fubao be able to display his magical powers at will.
At the same time, it can also consolidate her own position.
The emperor then continued: "It can also consolidate my position."
Murong Xun's eyes turned slightly and he said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, not only that, you want to promote Minister Meng, but now is a good opportunity."
"If you want to build momentum for the princess regarding the printing, there must be someone who is given advice by the princess."
The emperor nodded and said, "You are right. Let's do it."
The emperor summoned the secret guards and told them to spread the news that the princess guided Mencius to invent printing while playing.
"Yes, sir!" The secret guard took the order and left.
After the secret guards left, the emperor let out a long sigh.
"All this was originally Fubao's contribution, but now Fubao is being wronged."
Murong Xun lowered his eyelids, "Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself. We are also doing this for Her Royal Highness the Princess to be accepted by the people more quickly."
"This way, Her Royal Highness the Princess can stand before the public sooner and receive the honor she deserves."
The next day, a lot of news spread on the streets of Yanjing.
"What? Printing was invented by Her Royal Highness?"
"Could it be that the princess is the reincarnation of some god?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The princess was seen playing by Lord Meng, and that's how he invented the papermaking technique."
The man blushed and said with his neck stiff, "What did I say wrong? If it weren't for the princess, would Lord Meng have been able to invent printing?"
The person who rebuked the others for talking nonsense rubbed his head. "It seems to be the case, but it can't be attributed entirely to the princess."
The man with his neck stiff snorted coldly, "Then it's not an exaggeration to say that the princess deserves the credit, right?"
Seeing that others were convinced by him, he said proudly, turned around and went to the next table and started chatting.
The people on the other side were talking about similar things.
"Your Highness the Princess is the lucky star of our Great Yan. This was said by His Majesty the Emperor himself. How could it be false?"
Someone at the side asked in a low and mysterious voice, "Did you notice?"
When everyone saw this scene, they stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, fearing that they might miss any royal secrets.
Seeing that everyone's appetite had been whetted, the man whispered, "Since the princess was born, good things have happened in Dayan. First, papermaking was invented, and not long after, printing appeared."
"Then His Majesty will set up a royal academy to recruit commoners."
“Everything is unheard of.”
"It's hard to say. These are all related to the princess."
The people around him looked as if they really were in agreement, and someone else immediately echoed, "So, the princess really could be the reincarnation of a god."
"The reincarnation of a god? This is an unprecedented story! We actually saw it."
The people were talking about it, some were ecstatic, some were skeptical, and some sneered.
The news spread quickly.
No one expected that a few months later, the news circulating in the inns in remote areas would become, "What! The princess is a god? Am I dreaming or are you dreaming?"
Minister Xin's family scoffed at the news.
"This is a huge joke! How could a child of a few months old invent printing?"
"He is a dying man who is still restless and is still trying to build momentum for himself."
He was furious as he thought about the praise and flattery he had heard recently about the emperor.
He blew his beard and glared, "This is clearly an attempt to deceive the people and cover up their tyranny in the name of God!"
"Go, go, go, spread the news."
Minister Xin impatiently sent his men to do it, but his explanation didn't even make a splash.
Even his subordinates were beaten up and accused of being spies from other countries who were unwilling to see Dayan doing well.
Minister Xin was so angry when he saw his men were beaten by the people and their faces were swollen and black and blue that they couldn't even recognize their original appearance.
Suddenly he spat out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Lin Shu himself was completely unaware of all this. He rolled over on the bed and then fell into a deep sleep.
She smacked her lips from time to time. Occasionally she would sober up, but she was still dissatisfied with her father, the emperor.
[When will Daddy take me to plant potatoes? ]
[He says he's busy every day. Humph, what a liar.]
Lin Shu pouted and turned over again in dissatisfaction. She was stuck on the edge of the fence, but she didn't realize it and continued to sleep soundly.
The emperor, who was reviewing memorials at the side, shook his head, walked over quickly, and carried Lin Shu to the middle of the bed with heartache.
In just a short while, marks were left on Lin Shu's face.
The emperor immediately called for Chief Steward Zhao and had someone wrap soft cloth strips around the fence. Even the secret guards who came to report could only wait in the dark.
The emperor waited until he confirmed that the fence was safe before he dismissed everyone and listened to the report from the secret guards.
Lin Shu, who had almost fallen asleep, woke up after some tossing and turning.
Looking at the modified fence in silence, she couldn't help but complain, and at the same time she heard the report from the secret guard.
[Can't you wait until I wake up before doing it? ]
"Your Majesty, Minister Xin vomited blood and fell into a coma today. I'm afraid he won't live long."
[This radiation took effect so quickly? ]
The emperor whispered, "I understand. Please leave."
What I was thinking was, how come this little ancestor woke up at this moment? Why didn't he look for his father after waking up? The first thing he did was to care about the old man named Xin.
I didn't expect that the old man could live so long after eating the radioactive powder. He is really lucky.
The same goes for this secret guard. He couldn't report any quieter. He even woke up my daughter.
He didn't think at all that Lin Shu woke up mainly because of his own nonsense.
He walked to Lin Shu and coaxed him softly.
I was thinking to myself that my acting days were finally coming to an end. I was so exhausted.
