After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Huo Le'an pestered Jun Linyuan to let him participate in the poetry competition, but Jun Linyuan never gave in.

I was so annoyed that I just started reviewing the documents.

Seeing this, Huo Le'an didn't want to disturb him. There was still tomorrow anyway, so if it really didn't work out, forget it.

If his cousin didn't go, he would go find his good brothers, hoping that by being influenced by the scholarly air of the literati, he could become smarter.

"Your Majesty, my little cousin is still waiting for me, so I will leave the palace first."

Having said that, he didn't even eat the imperial meal and ran out.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll come back tomorrow. I'll make time for you the day after tomorrow."

When Huo Le'an came out, Qi Mingze was observing Prime Minister Zhang's notes, comparing the handwriting one by one, and then memorizing them in his mind.

"My little cousin, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Let's leave the palace." Huo Le'an pulled Qi Mingze and left.

"Cousin, please let go first. You are walking too fast. I can't catch up with you."

Qi Mingze was being taken away, and he was a little out of breath after walking a few steps.

Huo Le'an has been learning martial arts since he was a child, and his strength and speed are unmatched by others.

What's more, he was a little angry because he was just rejected by the emperor, so this step was even bigger.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, little cousin. It's all my fault."

Huo Le'an then noticed the person next to him. Seeing him stop and take a breath, he patted his head apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm just too weak."

Qi Mingze didn't know how a man who was almost an adult could be so weak.

[System, you said that the original owner was fine when he followed Qin Daru around everywhere.

How come she becomes a fragile little girl when she comes to me?] Qi Mingze was puzzled.

Could it be that physical fitness will change due to the transformation of the soul?

The system lowered its head guiltily and disappeared into silence again.

"My little cousin, are you okay? Do you want to go to the Imperial Hospital for a checkup?"

Huo Le'an felt very sorry. He was the kind of person who would act without thinking when he was angry. It would be bad if he hurt his little cousin.

"It's okay, just walk slowly."

I feel dizzy when I walk fast, and I feel like I need to take care of myself.

But all medicines are poisonous, and Chinese medicine is really hard to drink.

I sighed again, forget it, I can't escape the fate of exercise, I will go for night training after a while.

Upon hearing this, Huo Le'an, just like yesterday, hung one step behind Qi Mingze and moved at the same pace as him.

As we walked, we shared interesting things that happened yesterday and talked about the rumors that happened this morning.

It turned out that for some reason the lights were on in the homes of the major families and high-ranking officials yesterday and they were awake all night.

In some places, the sounds of ministers shouting and children crying could be heard.

As he said this, Huo Le'an looked at Qi Mingze meaningfully. Qi Mingze just touched his nose, pretending not to know.

Although I feel a little sorry for those children, I have to do this in order to save more people.

Besides, it gave the emperor a raft, and with the fighting among the various forces within the aristocratic families, when the reform came, perhaps many people would be spared from death.

After all, if people are divided, the enemy can be disintegrated from within.

"Now each family can still suppress their clansmen, but I don't know how things will develop in the future." Huo Le'an sighed.

Who would have thought that the one who caused such a commotion was the harmless scholar next to him? It really shows that you can't judge a book by its cover!

"The current calm is just an appearance. Once someone takes the first step, they'll realize it can't be suppressed just by wanting to."

Although Qi Mingze had not witnessed it personally, he could foresee the final outcome through the description in the book.

No businessman can resist the temptation of crossing classes. Even if he cannot do it himself, he still has to consider future generations.

Just like those businessmen in the past who offered their daughters to high-ranking officials as concubines in order to protect their wealth.

Now that they have their own opportunities, why should they rely on others?

[Host, what if those businessmen become officials and then commit crimes for their own business?]

The system is a good child who asks questions when he doesn’t understand.

Fortunately, its host does not mind its many questions and patiently helps it answer them. He is worthy of being a teacher.

[Will there be no collusion between officials and businessmen if businessmen are not allowed to hold official positions?

It's just a change of method and name, and changing from feeding one person to feeding two people will only deepen the exploitation.

Qi Mingze was disdainful. Every world was fighting against corruption, but which world or dynasty could truly achieve pure water?

Perhaps it was achieved in the early days of communism, but how long did it last?

[Besides, if more people take part in the imperial examinations, they can divide the seats of the aristocratic families, which is more conducive to centralization of power.

Don't worry, there will be targeted plans for each stage. Improving the status of businessmen will only allow a hundred schools of thought to flourish in society, and the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages.

The most important thing is that this is the fastest way to make money, otherwise there will be starving people everywhere in Jiangnan and Longxi.

Is there any other way to easily gather tens of millions of taels?]

No, everyone knows the answer.

While Qi Mingze was teaching systematically, he also gave Huo Le'an some advice from time to time.

Both sides were very happy and harmonious.

"My servant is waiting for me at the palace gate today, so I won't go with you."

"No, we agreed to go see the puppy. I wonder if it's gone already."

"I'm fine." Qi Mingze said unhappily. He had saved Long Aotian with great difficulty and he didn't like anyone cursing his little pet.

"Hey, little cousin, you can still be angry."

Huo Le'an was not annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he looked at Qi Mingze with a smile as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Then we go separately and meet up at the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion?"

"Huo Xi, you go back first. I'm going to visit the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion." Huo Le'an waved his hand and said to the servant who was coming over.

"My dear lord, I will go back alone.

The Grand Princess will definitely skin me alive, so please be kind and let me follow you."

Huo Xi bowed his hands and begged for mercy, then looked at Huo Le'an and the others with a pleading expression.

In fact, Huo Le'an was just a by-product. Huo Xi knew that his master would not pay attention to him, so he could only ask another person for help.

Although his statement was a bit exaggerated, we really couldn't let the prince run around alone, otherwise no one would be able to bear the consequences if something happened to him.

Thinking of the eldest princess's hot temper, Huo Le'an looked at Qi Mingze and asked if it would be convenient for him to bring one more person with him.

Qi Mingze didn't want to cause any trouble, he was just worried that Huo Le'an would not be used to the little broken carriage.

"Take it with you, don't let the Grand Princess worry."

"Follow me." Huo Le'an gave him a look.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Huo Xi understood immediately, arranged for the driver to go back first, and then chased after him.

Qi Mingze's carriage is indeed very different from Huo Le'an's.

It’s not that Yan Yingsu didn’t want to get him a better one, but every time she got something good, Marquis Wuwei would find a way to give it to her eldest son, so the original owner was too lazy to change it.

Qi Mingze doesn't care about these things now. A horse-drawn carriage can never be as comfortable as a car.

Huo Le'an didn't care. With a beautiful woman by his side, everything he did was enjoyable.

Continue to talk and listen, occasionally exchanging a few words.

Huo Le'an felt very comfortable and satisfied every time he was with Qi Mingze. This was a feeling he could never experience when he was with other people.

In fact, Qi Mingze just habitually gets along with him according to his personality and mental state.

People with a histrionic personality are most suitable to be diplomats and actors.

Unfortunately, these two professions were impossible in ancient times, not to mention that he was the only son of the eldest princess.

Huo Xi only saw another side of his master today. In all the years he had been with his master, he had never seen his master so happy.

Maybe the atmosphere between the two was too harmonious, but someone came to ruin it as soon as they got off the car.
