"Damn, how could I suddenly die? I'm a dignified Foundation Establishment realm martial cultivator, in excellent health, how could I suddenly die?"
Chu Chen saw a conspiracy in the results of the life simulation and roared in his heart.
This sudden death was definitely not a normal sudden death from a sudden illness; he must have been assassinated by someone again for no reason.
But Chu Chen couldn't figure out who would do such a thing.
This life simulation process, in Chu Chen's opinion, was perfect. The national strength of the entire Yunyue Kingdom was greatly strengthened, and he himself had reached the pinnacle of life, just waiting to finally marry a beautiful and rich woman.
Wait!
Chu Chen suddenly sensed something and quickly used his pouch skill, combined with his passive Insight skill, to browse it again.
A moment later, Chu Chen seemed to understand something, his face turned ashen, and he roared, "Well said, 'When the birds are gone, the bow is put away'!"
With the help of the two skills, Chu Chen knew the reason for his death in the life simulation: he died at the hands of the Empress!
The Empress did this because she saw no external crisis and a peaceful and prosperous internal situation. By killing him, she could then let Princess Xin Yue succeed to the throne without any worries.
This way, after Princess Xin Yue ascended the throne, he would not become a powerful minister, suppress imperial power, or even usurp the throne.
But Chu Chen could not accept such a result, and his good impression of the Empress diminished by more than half.
"The royal family is the most heartless. This Empress has been on the throne for decades, and she is indeed heartless. I worked so hard to develop Yunyue Kingdom into a strong nation, only to receive such a result."
Chu Chen was a little disheartened, squinted his eyes, and pondered whether to give up helping Yunyue Kingdom become stronger.
The only thing that made him feel a little better was that in multiple life simulations, except for being killed by Princess Xin Yue when their relationship was bad at the beginning, Princess Xin Yue unconditionally supported him at other times and did not do such a thing as "killing the donkey after it has served its purpose."
After a moment, Chu Chen adjusted his somewhat broken mindset.
He stroked his chin and thought, "Thinking about it this way, I should find a way to let Princess Xin Yue take over the Empress's power faster. At the same time, my own strength must be further improved, and I also need to have certain countermeasures."
"First, the Empress controls thirty thousand Imperial Guards, plus the original three thousand personal guards. This is a powerful force completely under her control."
"The Empress's own cultivation is not weak. Although I don't know her exact realm, she should be much stronger than me."
"So, if I want to counter her, I should start with military power and strength."
With this thought, Chu Chen had a plan and felt a lot more at ease.
Chu Chen carefully considered the original plan and decided to continue with it. After all, judging from the life simulation process, it was a very correct path, but he needed to be careful. At worst, he would use the life simulator to simulate the future from time to time.
Most importantly, by following the original plan, Chu Chen would gain immense benefits.
Becoming Prime Minister would grant him great power in Yunyue Kingdom, and developing Yunyue Kingdom into a strong nation would also provide him with abundant resources of all kinds.
Huge benefits such as population, subordinates, soldiers, knowledge, martial arts techniques, and power.
Coming to this world where one can cultivate, how could Chu Chen not have the idea of eternal life? How could he be willing to die of old age?
Therefore, these were all necessary, and to obtain these, he had to stand at the highest position in Yunyue Kingdom.
Beneath one person and above ten thousand, or even after Princess Xin Yue ascended the throne as Empress, he would suppress that sole superior and become above everyone else!
Eternal life, absolute power, beautiful women in his arms, glory, and wealth!
Thinking about it, Chu Chen felt a little excited, as if a beautiful future was beckoning to him.
"Cough, cough, these are still too far away for now. I can't be overly ambitious. The urgent task is to sort out the subjects for the imperial examinations."
Chu Chen came back to his senses, patted his face, and whispered with a little shame.
He glanced at the life simulator and after some thought, chose the first reward, 'Era of Peace'.
He smiled in his heart, "Next, for reform and strengthening Yunyue Kingdom, a good internal environment is needed. This talent is too useful. This way, I don't have to worry about being invaded by other countries during this period and disrupting my rhythm."
After choosing the reward, Chu Chen decided to plagiarize himself, directly copying the subjects he had created in the life simulation.
With a clear direction, Chu Chen went to the study and wrote diligently, detailing the six subjects for the imperial examinations.
What? The scolding of scholars who fail the exam? What is there to fear from these useless losers?
If they dare to babble, he would directly arrange the law of defamation and slander.
Yunyue Kingdom did not have such a law now, but Chu Chen did not mind creating one and using it for a few years. After a few years, when a new atmosphere of imperial examinations was formed, he would abolish it.
"Essays, poetry, and the Four Books and Five Classics will be directly incorporated into the national language. Later, based on the situation of the imperial examinations, I will find someone to compile a national language textbook and distribute it directly as teaching material for private schools."
"Let the scholars of this world also have a good headache from memorizing and understanding, haha~"
Chu Chen chuckled wickedly as he wrote.
"I won't change 'Suanchou' to 'Mathematics' for now. I'll use a name they can understand. The content inside probably can't be too difficult, otherwise, I'm afraid no one will be able to pass the exam, and then it will be game over."
Chu Chen thought for a moment, adding multiplication and division to the provincial examinations, and solving unknowns to the metropolitan examinations. He would not add quadratic equations or more difficult problems for now, and would deal with them later.
"This politics, to put it bluntly, is like online keyboard warriors, but it's direct keyboarding to the highest leader. Whether it can be implemented still depends on one's interpersonal skills."
"This politics only needs a slight modification, and most of it will remain the same."
"Physics will be popularized and open-book based. In terms of cultivation, the bodies of these scholars are truly rotten. How can they stay up late to study without a good body? How can they stay up late to work overtime?"
"But it can't be too much. Just the Body Tempering realm is enough. The difficulty will be gradually increased later."
"As for agriculture, there's nothing much to say. In an ancient era that values agriculture as the foundation, if one doesn't understand this, how can they be an official?"
