Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

But even if you are dissatisfied or don't understand, you have to do it.

Bei Jingchu did not make drastic changes at the beginning, but instead abolished the rule that businessmen were not allowed to take the imperial examinations.

Later, the rule that slaves and people of low status were not allowed to take the imperial examinations was abolished.

It is hard to find a saint or sage, and maybe one is hiding among these people of poor backgrounds.

Wasn’t the famous general Changping Hou a horse slave?

If his sister had not entered the emperor's harem, such a person would have been buried.

There was no longer any title of Guanjun Hou, who was later granted the title of Fenglangjuxu.

There’s nothing you can do about a poor background, but you can’t block someone’s path to upward mobility.

Now that Bei Jingchu no longer has a system to discover who are the real talents, she simply gives everyone a chance to see who can compete to her.

As for those who object?

Is it easy for slaves to become disloyal?

She still refused to listen. It has nothing to do with me. It's enough as long as she has no ill intentions towards me.

Every time something new comes out, no matter how big or small, it will affect the interests of some people.

Although no one dared to discredit her openly, she could not resist all kinds of innuendos and accusations.

When she went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, she heard some rumors and was afraid that she might be angry, so she said a few words to comfort her.

Bei Jingchu sighed inwardly that news in the harem spread too quickly. It seemed that the Empress Dowager also had spies in the previous dynasty.

Fortunately, she doesn't care. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. As long as she stays in power for one day, she can suppress countless evil spirits and monsters.

Or maybe the grandmother knew that she didn't care, so she dared to mention these things in front of her.

Bei Jingchu didn't show her thoughts, but smiled softly, "Most people in the world are mediocre people who just go with the flow. Only a few are sober people."

"Don't say that the whole court is full of talents selected through the imperial examination. There are only two truly virtuous people. They can all be replaced."

"I will not bother myself with mediocre people. I only need to promote talented people. No matter what they do, they dare not say no to me."

The Empress Dowager was relieved. She coughed twice and took a long time to catch her breath. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Did Chu'er ever blame Grandmother for not helping you in the past?"

Bei Jingchu was a little helpless: "I know that my mother and Aye share the same aspirations, and Chu'er is not an ignorant person."

Smelling the pungent smell of medicine in the hall, she felt a little sad.

"I am very busy with affairs and cannot be with you all the time. Jiujiu is married now. If you are bored in the palace, you can ask Yanyu to come and fulfill her filial duty. It will also be a good opportunity to take care of that little naughty monkey."

The Grand Empress Dowager smiled, as if she was reminiscing about their childhood, and shook her head and said, "I am not as strong as I used to be. It is a family happiness to have one child living in Renshou Palace. It would be troublesome if there were more. I can't watch you little brats playing around like before."

How many more people?

Bei Jingchu understood what she meant and asked, "Which youngster does the eldest mother like?"

The Empress Dowager wanted to raise a lovely child to relieve her boredom. It was just a small thing. As long as the child could show her filial piety, she would be fine with anyone she liked.

Although children are noisy, an elderly person who is about to die will become younger and feel more at ease when he sees energetic children every day.

As long as you are in a good mood, it will be better for your health than any panacea.

The Empress Dowager tentatively said, "After Zhao Yu died, her wife was diagnosed with pregnancy and left a posthumous child."

Bei Jingchu was stunned for a moment.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Bei Jingchu would not agree, the Empress Dowager's eyes became moist and she looked a little sad.

"Sister Qiu was so kind to me and Heng'er, but I didn't raise her daughter well. Even her two grandchildren died, and there is no descendant left."

"But the government is more important, so we have to take a step back on these personal affairs. I understand."

So both times, she did not try to stop it.

The country is more important than anything else, so she is still sober.

But......

"Now that Zhao Yu has left behind a daughter, I still hope that I can take care of her a little to make up for what I said to Sister Qiu. We have let her family down too much."

Bei Jingchu's eyes moved, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she said, "That's good, I will adopt the child to my cousin Qin, and make him a princess, to carry on the family line."

The Empress Dowager was even more relieved.

For her, it didn’t matter whether Zhao Yu could bear this honor or not; she just wanted to take care of Sister Qiu’s bloodline.

If the little girl could obtain a title, it would be a guarantee for her life.

Now everyone is happy.

After leaving the Grand Empress Dowager, Bei Jingchu had to pay his respects to the current Empress Dowager.

After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will confer a title on his biological mother. Bei Jingchu also needs to set an example of filial piety for the world to see.

Secretly, she didn't want Qi to be tainted by any of her glory, so she thought of choosing one of Concubine Fang and Concubine Xian to be her biological mother.

Just struggling with who to choose.

Bei Jingchu was not the kind of person who would cause trouble for herself, so she just let the two of them discuss it among themselves.

Zhang Xiaqin thought it would be difficult, but Concubine Xian gave up directly.

She felt guilty and advised Concubine Xian: "I know you have never been competitive, but you can't be too noncompetitive. For such a big thing..."

The virtuous concubine lowered her eyes and said, "I did it from my heart. The position of Queen Mother is an unparalleled honor, but it is not what I want."

"I have discussed this with Her Majesty and asked her to let me leave the palace and travel around the world."

Zhang Xiaqin still didn't quite believe it. This was her true feelings. She always felt that she was giving in to her.

Perhaps people who pursue glory all their lives cannot understand free birds.

Concubine Xian was helpless and said, "I don't fight with the world, just because these things are like icing on the cake for me, it doesn't matter if I have them or not. If it's really what I want, I will fight for it even if I have to sacrifice my life."

"When I was young, I stayed at home, waiting to be married off to a potential scholar that my father would take a fancy to. I was like a commodity, and became the capital for my father to buy business shares."

"If he becomes successful, it will be my good fortune. If he dies, I will still serve his family, no matter if I was a daughter of an official in the past." In order to marry into a better family, she and her sisters schemed against each other, spent all her energy, thought all day, acted like a spoiled child, and fought and framed each other. "

"Later, I had the opportunity to learn martial arts, and I entered the palace as soon as I finished. Although my life was much more exciting than I expected, and the little princess I raised even sat on the throne. But being a queen mother is nothing more than moving from a golden cage to a bigger, more luxurious and solemn golden cage."

"The only benefit is that you don't have to worry about her getting sick of you and not supporting you anymore."

"Now that everything is over, I want to see this vast world and the beautiful mountains and rivers praised in poems and essays."

Everyone has his own ambitions.

Not having to fight for profit is the best outcome for their relationship.

The virtuous concubine found an auspicious day and left the palace in a low-key manner. No one would care about the whereabouts of a powerless concubine.

Zhang Xiaqin became the empress dowager and accepted greetings from the emperor every day.

Even though she felt sorry for the child and thought Bei Jingchu was too tired, and tried to dissuade her several times, Bei Jingchu still went on day after day.

If nothing else, filial piety is something you do to show off to others.

The ruler is the leader of his subjects, the father is the leader of his sons, and the husband is the leader of his wife.

Bei Jingchu abandoned the last item in order to get promoted, but the remaining ones must be further consolidated, otherwise chaos will occur.

Now that the prosperous situation has been achieved, we just need to wait and see.

The world is her garden, and she will make it more and more prosperous, bigger and bigger, with hundreds of flowers blooming.

And she has always been able to wait and be patient.

As soon as everything is ready, we will attack Huanglong directly.

Hiding before hunting was the last lesson her father taught her, and she had always been the best student.
