Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 829: Many Cheats 150
Of course, it is a bit difficult to build up one's own power. There are external reasons as well as Prince Anjiang's own reasons. Although seeing these ministers applying for ridiculous amounts of silver from the national treasury every day shows that there is something fishy going on, he wants to rectify the court. However, he is a lazy person. When he sees the complicated relationships in the court, he gets overwhelmed and doesn't want to do it anymore. Therefore, when he builds up his own power, not only may the ministers not let him do it, but he himself doesn't want to do it.

After this conversation, Prince Anjiang continued to be his own stamped puppet and did not intend to care about the mess in the court. He let those people deal with it. Anyway, he couldn't do anything about it even if he wanted to, so why bother?

As for forming his own power and imagining himself as possessing a huge force, stepping on corrupt civil officials and punching warlords and generals, well, it is still in a fantasy state.

The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to fantasize about how I will master powerful forces and deal with those garbage in the court, but in the end I just bask in the sun, go fishing, and muddle through the day without doing anything.

The ministers were naturally satisfied with the emperor's behavior. After all, if the emperor was diligent, he would know everything they did, forcing them to work diligently and not dare to make money. Then what was the point of being an official?

In order to please the emperor, everyone found a lot of entertainment activities and recommended them to Prince Anjiang, allowing him to play whatever he wanted, which was much more interesting than his monotonous activities of sunbathing and fishing.

I didn't recommend a talent show because Prince Anjiang had already said that he was not interested in it.

Judging from Prince Anjiang's previous life, he indeed disliked women. In this case, the ministers would naturally not do anything that Prince Anjiang would dislike, so they did not submit any memorials proposing a beauty contest.

Of course, we are also afraid that a witch like Concubine Wang will be chosen, and if a demonic wind blows again, it will be terrifying.

Seeing the ministers bringing these toys, Linlang couldn't help but secretly thought that it was a good thing that Prince Anjiang was just a lazy guy who wouldn't indulge in these things. Otherwise, he would lose his ambition and completely ignore the affairs of the court, and that would be the end of him.

If Prince Anjiang loses his ambition due to material things, it will be fine. If he becomes obsessed with something and wastes the people's money and resources, he will probably become a tyrant.

Now, although Prince Anjiang was interested in the things sent by the ministers, he was not obsessed with them. After all, he was just lazy and not the kind of person who would be obsessed with something.

Linlang looked at these things and couldn't help but feel moved. She said, "Your Majesty, I like to listen to storytellers. I wonder if you can invite a few storytellers to the palace. I want to listen."

It was only after entering the palace that Linlang no longer encountered those time travelers who wanted to kill her, which made her feel like doing these things. Otherwise, if she was often harmed by others, she would not be in the mood to do these things - I don’t know if it was because those time travelers were all eliminated in the bud by her, or because Prince Anjiang became the emperor and she became the queen, and those people had not killed her yet, so the mission was considered a failure, and that world no longer sent people over. Anyway, no one was found trying to harm her during this period of time.

"It's not difficult. Just come and ask for it." said Prince Anjiang.

So Linlang invited some storytellers into the palace to listen to their stories.

When the four of them listened together as a family, they invited a male storyteller. If only Linlang and her daughter listened together, they invited a female storyteller, after all, outsiders were not allowed to enter the harem.

There are also female storytellers in this world. After all, the ladies in the inner house need to listen to storytellers.

After listening for a while, Linlang said that she had heard all this content and it was boring to listen to it again, so she started to ask the female storytellers with good literary talent to write novels according to the outline she gave. After they were finished, she would read it and if she thought it was good, she would ask the female storytellers to read it to her.

There is no need to worry that what the ancients wrote will not suit her taste. She can be taught and just write what she wants.

Linlang thought that this era was boring, so she might as well let people create some novels. If they could leave a mark in history, that would be great. Of course, more importantly, she set up a bookstore and published these books. If they were popular, she could make some money.

Although the finances of this dynasty were not as exhausted as those of some dynasties, they were still tight and not much could be allocated to the treasury.

Fortunately, Prince Anjiang has no other concubines, only his family, so the expenses are much lower. Otherwise, if there are too many people, money will be tight.

In this way, having a place to make money is naturally a good thing.

Moreover, the ministers would not care about her running a bookstore. After all, it did not threaten their interests. Even if there was some profit, it was not much. After all, in this era, more money could be made from selling novels than from taking kickbacks, buying land, and becoming a big landlord.

But making a little money was just Linlang's initial plan. What she wanted to do was to control the public opinion front.

People of this era don’t know the power of the media yet, it’s a complete blank, and she occupied it, which is naturally a good thing for her.

Soon, she will be running a newspaper.

Of course, she won't post much content criticizing current affairs at the beginning, but when the time is right, she will start to let some people write content criticizing current affairs on it.

Aren’t these ministers trying to undermine the power of Prince Anjiang? It doesn’t matter. We can still check and balance them by creating some opposition parties.

Linlang didn't know how Prince Anjiang dealt with those people in her original world, but it was probably after a few years that Prince Anjiang could no longer tolerate it, put away his laziness, and worked together with his grown-up son to deal with that group of ministers.

This period of development is definitely not peaceful, and the development is definitely not smooth. Now, Linlang plans to find another way to pry open a gap for those civil service groups.

Without mentioning that Linlang was secretly promoting the development of the bookstore, let’s talk about Prince Anjiang. As more and more signatures were signed, Prince Anjiang knew more and more about the important affairs of the court.

Although before he became emperor, he was not completely ignorant of state affairs as he was the cousin of the previous emperor, but he obviously did not know as much as he does now.

The more you know, the more tricks you understand, and naturally the angrier you get.

As he became more and more angry, Prince Anjiang once again wanted to build up his own power. Although he was lazy, his popularity would offset some of his laziness and make him want to work harder.

So the Prince of Anjiang, who was afraid of trouble, began to think about how to build his own power.

However, since his decrees could not leave the palace, he certainly could not find people outside to form his own power, so he could only use the eunuchs already in the palace to form his own power.

Although eunuchs have a bad reputation and it might not be appropriate for him to use eunuchs to build his own power, he really couldn't find anyone.
