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

The emperor carried Lin Shu back to the imperial study, feeling extremely happy.

Just when he was about to ask Lin Shu to praise him, he poured a bucket of cold water on him.

[Daddy is so pitiful. He has all these skills but no one else can help him except Wei Zhongju and the secret guards.]

[Many people in the court knew the details of Qian Xiang, but no one was willing to tell the emperor. Alas, no wonder the country ended up like that. ]

[In order to win the beauty's smile, the emperor spent a lot of money and labor on building a stargazing tower and various luxurious palaces, squandering all the money in the national treasury.]

[Even though the common people had nothing to wear, were starving and cold, and could only eat Guanyin soil or even exchange their own children for food, the emperor did not care at all. This led to the boiling public resentment and uprisings everywhere.]

【In addition, at that time, foreign enemies were all around us, and they all had evil ambitions. Seeing the internal chaos of Great Yan, they took this opportunity to unite and attack us. Although Great Yan had good generals, the army at that time was deducted from food and wages, lacked clothing and food, and even had insufficient supply of weapons. They were no match for those barbarians.】

【The Great Yan was destroyed just like that, and all the generals were killed. They were also hung on the city gates for more than a month as a public display. Ahhhh, I'm so angry.】

As the current emperor, Lin Anzheng felt a chill in his heart. He never expected that the kingdom of Dayan would be destroyed in this way.

The emperor laughed bitterly. Seeing Lin Shu's curious look, he immediately pretended to mutter to himself, "Ah, I didn't expect that the court would be full of mediocre and corrupt people. Except for Wei Zhong, no one can be trusted and no one can be used."

When Lin Shu heard the emperor's sad murmurs, she felt very distressed. She frantically recalled the useful people in the original book.

[Oh, right, the Minister of Revenue! Although that guy is obsessed with food and doesn't care about the affairs of the court, he doesn't have close relatives with any faction.]

[Every day he looked like a useless person who didn't want to fight with the world. But no matter what his father or the bastard emperor asked him to do, he always made others think that he could do it just barely enough and almost made a mistake.]

[It makes the emperor not pay special attention to him, and the officials will not be jealous of him, and even unwilling to recruit a useless person like him. ]

[Even so, when the barbarians finally broke into the palace, other officials had already fled, only he stood in the hall, ready to die. Seeing his demeanor, the male protagonist wanted to recruit him.]

【The Minister of Revenue refused, and in the end, his body was reduced to ashes in the fire of Xuanzheng Hall, and no trace of his body was left.】

[This person must be quite capable. After all, just like a top student controlling his scores in an exam, if he doesn’t have some ability, how can he do everything as if he is about to fail? ]

[But how can I tell my father about this? This guy never submits a memorial unless it is a major event, and he doesn't even give me the chance to make trouble and take his memorial.]

Lin Shu was very worried, she kept sucking her fingers. It took her a while to realize what she had done.

[It’s over, it’s over. I’m about to be assimilated into my body. I like sucking my fingers more and more.]

Upon hearing this, the emperor pinched Lin Shu's little face, but was thinking about Lin Shu's words in his mind.

There was some hesitation in his eyes. Is the man who went to court and was still thinking about what to eat when he returned really reliable?

It looks very unreliable.

But everything my daughter said was true, so I decided to find an opportunity to test him.

After the emperor made up his mind, he noticed the words his daughter was talking about: academic master? Exam? Score control?

He could probably understand the control of grades, after all, his daughter explained it later. Does the exam mean assessment? Does the top student mean the best at studying?

It is surprising that this Minister of the Ministry of Revenue received such high praise from my daughter. If this is true, I will have to exploit him well in the future.

Seeing that the emperor was in a trance, Lin Shu couldn't help but think for himself.

[I don't think I saw it mentioned that there was an imperial examination here. If not, when I can speak, can I ask the emperor to set one up? With the imperial examination, children from poor families will have a way to get ahead.]

【Father can also recruit some talents of his own. It would be best if we could have separate examinations for different subjects, and set up specific assessments for the kind of talents we need. By then, we will have no shortage of talents in agriculture, science, management, and even craftsmen.】

The emperor's eyes lit up. Although he didn't quite understand some of the words, he could roughly guess their meaning. But the light in the emperor's eyes dimmed in an instant.

In the current situation, let alone implementing the imperial examination system, I am afraid that as soon as the proposal is made, it will be opposed by the ministers. After all, the current officials are still monopolized by aristocratic families, and it may not work to rashly implement new policies.

In addition, all the classics are in the hands of the aristocratic families, and how many poor disciples can have access to them?

Lin Shu was still immersed in his own thoughts.

[I have been following the emperor for a few days, but I don’t think I have ever seen paper. Even when naming me, they looked through bamboo slips. The memorials submitted to the emperor are usually made of cloth. If papermaking technology can be invented, it will greatly reduce the cost of study for poor students.]

[In this way, the imperial examination system can be gradually implemented in a few years. ]

Lin Shu had a beautiful idea and nodded secretly.

After listening to Lin Shu's thoughts, the emperor still had a solemn expression. All these would take time. Although he was still alive, people in the court were unsettled. According to the secret guards, the person behind the incident in Wei Mansion had not yet been caught.

The relationships between the noble families in the court were complicated, many of them were related by marriage, and they protected each other. It was impossible to eliminate them all at once.

The emperor suddenly remembered that there was a great Confucian scholar among the people who accepted many disciples and taught everyone, including many civilians. He was determined to promote academic knowledge and educate the people.

He devoted his whole life to making education affordable for ordinary people.

If we could invite him out of retirement, even if we couldn't completely solve the current problem, we could at least buy a few years of breathing time.

My daughter said that the Minister of Revenue is very useful. Tomorrow, if not today, let him go and invite the great scholar to come out of retirement. If he can't do it, then I will go and invite him myself.

For the sake of my Great Yan kingdom and the people, my little face means nothing.

Lin Shu, who was in the emperor's arms, did not feel her father's determination at all. She focused on her system mall.

Still muttering to himself.

【Papermaking, papermaking, it is a must.】

[Hey, there really is one. Let me see the introduction. Papermaking is one of the four great inventions of ancient Blue Star. It is a must-have for those who travel through time and space to win favor.]

[Beauty alone cannot keep a man. Only when beauty and ability coexist can the emperor's eyes be firmly fixed on you. 】

Lin Shu was silent...

After hearing Lin Shu's thoughts, the emperor also fell silent...

What on earth is this thing called a system? How could it corrupt my daughter? And let her seduce a man, and seduce that stinky boy who was killed by him.

Even if I die, I will never agree to this marriage!

Lin Shu was complaining crazily in his heart, how crazy!

[I already have this ability? Why would I want to capture this useless emperor? Wouldn’t it be better for me to be the emperor myself? ]

When the emperor heard this, he was choked by his own saliva and started coughing repeatedly.
