Qin Zhenzhen thought about it and decided to keep the points.

She has accumulated a total of 8,000 points so far, and she can't afford to buy anything better in the mall.

She muttered to herself and slowly fell asleep.

On the contrary, it was Concubine Chen who, seeing her daughter sleeping soundly in the moonlight, quickly got up.

"Liu Su, you stay with the little princess while I finish the manuscript in the study."

Liusu opened her mouth but ultimately remained silent. "Yes, Madam."

*

A few days later.

The regular morning court session was disrupted by large wooden boxes being carried into the hall one by one.

"What is this? Why did Your Majesty bring so many boxes?"

"Haven't you noticed that there are fewer and fewer ministers attending the morning court?"

"Oh, don't tell me, I even went to ask my neighbor next door yesterday, and he said he was sick and on leave at home."

"These things are piling up, and now one after another they're all getting sick. I think they just don't want to do anything, and Your Majesty doesn't know how to intervene."

Soon, several people stopped talking and looked around blankly.

"Isn't that my neighbor?"

"Isn't this the head of the Ministry of Personnel?"

"And Master Wu from the Hanlin Academy? I remember they were relatives."

Qin Yuanhao sat on the dragon throne, taking in the expressions of all the officials below, and thought of how serious these people looked at the morning court every day.

Only by spitting on their faces could he relieve the disgust in his heart.

"Who of you wants to speak?" As soon as Qin Yuanhao opened his mouth, the people in shackles below trembled instantly.

Lord Wu thought of how His Majesty had saved his life before, so he closed his eyes and spoke.

"We sold official positions at the imperial court, bribed the examiners who wrote the exam questions, bribed the invigilators, swapped names, and then replaced the real examinees."

"It has been fifteen years since the Minister of Revenue helped us revise our household registration."

When the ministers heard the amount of gold, they all turned their heads to look at Lord Wu.

How much did you just say?

One hundred thousand taels of gold?

"Open the box." Qin Yuanhao snorted coldly. He had not been in charge of government affairs for even fifteen years.

When his father was alive, he was the crown prince and only needed to learn what his master taught him.

After his father passed away, his mother took charge of the government, and he was happy and relaxed. If he had brothers and sisters, it would probably not have been his turn to become emperor.

Unexpectedly, his mother, who had been working hard for many years, left him after a few years, and the government affairs fell back into his hands.

This is also why a group of ministers had no respect for him, and he himself did not care. He only hoped to pass on the Qin Dynasty to future generations in peace.

If it weren't for the little princess, perhaps he would really have been harmed by the imperial concubine and the prime minister as he did at the beginning, instead of studying hard to become a qualified king like he is now.

"You've been doing this for so long that you've already formed an industrial chain, link after link, very thorough." Qin Yuanhao said calmly, "Why don't you show any concern for the people?"

Boxes full of gold were displayed for everyone to see.

The ministers knelt on the ground trembling. The impact of the gold was too strong, followed by the words of His Majesty.

His Majesty seemed a little different from last time. Just two sentences made them feel extremely oppressed.

This is the true anger of a king.

"There are countless ministers in the court, yet no one has noticed the problem. Lord Yang has only been at the Ministry of Personnel for a short period of half a month, and he has already handed me the list of officials who were involved in the trafficking and the list of officials who bought them."

"Why does the Great Qin keep useless people like you? Does it mean that everything must be done by the Yang family?"

"General Yang, tell these guys how you discovered the problem."

Yang Yongsheng had already prepared his words, "Your Majesty, I have led troops for several years and am accustomed to getting to know the environment and people of a place thoroughly when I arrive there."

"It turns out that this Lord Wu, although he holds a low official position, is treated very politely by everyone. Some even flatter him for no reason. Even the Minister of Personnel is polite to him."

"I just felt strange at the time, wondering if this person had something extraordinary, so I thought about making friends with him."

"I found out that this guy would leave early every afternoon, so I followed him a few times and happened to see him collecting money from others."

Ministers: !!

How could such a good thing happen to General Yang?

Qin Yuanhao was extremely satisfied. General Yang was a man of great intelligence and careful observation. Otherwise, if the little princess had really waited until the Spring Examination to reveal the matter, it would have been long before the Spring Examination.

"Look at Lord Yang, and then look at you all. Be prepared for danger in times of peace!"

"Master Yang does not need to go to the other five departments. I will arrange for Master Yang to go to the Western Suburbs Military Camp to train the Imperial Guards."

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. General Yang already commands a large army. If he were to take control of the imperial guards, I'm afraid..." General Wu quickly spoke up, "I hope Your Majesty will rescind your order."

"Oh, General Wu, I haven't even asked you how you raised your son, but you're so good that you jumped out on your own."

"I just don't believe you don't know what's going on with your sons. Blindly indulging them will only harm them. I think your family's title can be taken back."

"I didn't punish you together with me because of the late emperor's kindness."

"Lord Yang is devoted to the Great Qin, and the Imperial Guards have been lacking training for years. In this case, I plan to conduct a drill between the border soldiers and the Imperial Guards."

"If the Imperial Guards lose, then shut up and study hard."

General Wu had a dark face and stiff neck and didn't say anything. His two illegitimate sons were kneeling beside him. He was really embarrassed.

He really wanted to retort, how could the imperial guards be compared with those who actually went to the battlefield.

But on second thought, if the Imperial Guards can't even match this, how can they resist foreign enemies in the future?

He has been in charge of the imperial guards for many years, and he doesn't believe that he can't be defeated by the scattered soldiers raised by Yang Yongsheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am willing to lead the team with General Yang in the competition."

Qin Yuanhao finally sat back on the throne with satisfaction. "Okay, ten days later, after the competition, we still have to train. I want to see the brand new Imperial Guards before Laba Festival."

General Wu's mouth twitched below, wondering if His Majesty was too confident.

Qin Yuanhao waved his hand, and Zhou Mian quickly stepped forward and distributed piles of books to all the ministers present.

"Everyone, I have brought you a new gift today." Qin Yuanhao played with the book in his hand, "The latest law produced by the Great Qin."

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone at the Hanlin Academy. I hope you will improve the Ministry of Education's laws as soon as possible."

Everyone in the Hanlin Academy looked at the books in their hands, then at the books of the people next to them, and the shock in their eyes could not be hidden.

There were at least thirty people in the court, each holding a copy.

Who was able to copy so many books in one day, and the handwriting in them is exactly the same?

The other ministers soon discovered the difference. The handwriting in each book was the same, even the ink drops were the same.

The only ones who remained calm were probably the people from the Ministry of Industry, after all, they had already been shocked yesterday.

The Hanlin Academy scholar asked with trembling hands, "Your Majesty, this book?"

Qin Yuanhao flipped through the book with satisfaction, then looked up and said with a smile: "This is the latest movable type printing developed by the Concubine Chen."

"You only need to carve the plate once to print unlimited copies, saving time, effort and labor."
