The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

I almost let him fool me with his act!

The Eternal Night Empress, who was already getting up, snorted and sat back down.

You want me to leave?

I won't!

Do you think I'll make you comfortable?

She smiled and looked at Roger: "Lord Roger is dedicating his passion for the Empire, a rare loyal subject. Surely, he wouldn't refuse to chat with me about national affairs, would he?"

"I am dull and don't understand governing a country, I'm afraid empty talk will mislead the nation..."

"You don't need to talk, just lend me an ear and listen. I just need a loyal tree hole who won't blabber, to organize my thoughts."

Her sword-like gaze swept over.

Roger helplessly nodded, and had to shout: "It's my honor to be a tree hole for Your Majesty!"

【My abilities are already failing, if my loyalty is questioned, I'm dead for sure!】

【This Empress is too difficult to deal with, I've already admitted I'm useless, why won't she let me go?】

【I'm so done! Mom, you're my real mom, what do you want me to do?】

Chapter 9: I'm Not Asking for His Advice!

In the ice cellar-like Great Library, Roger was about to be driven crazy by the Eternal Night Empress.

But despite the surging inner complaints, he had to put on an infinitely grateful and honored look.

The Eternal Night Empress also had the intention of testing him at this time.

After all, this is someone who can see through the true identities of the Gods.

He says he's just coasting along, wanting to be a useless younger brother, but the Empress doesn't believe it from the bottom of her heart.

Before saying such things, how about explaining your terrifying spiritual power?

Without arduous cultivation, it's impossible to possess such powerful spiritual power.

She first spoke of the frequent unrest in the Seventeen Kingdoms.

"Those are all Your Majesty's defeated foes, minor problems, not worth worrying about," Roger pretended to be a brain-dead fan of the Empress.

【This should be the butterfly effect of banning the Seven Gods Church from proselytizing, right? The ignorant people of the Seventeen Kingdoms are so stupid, being used as pawns by the Gods without even realizing it!】

【Although it's a rabble, causing trouble is still a problem. The Empire externally resists the Seven Gods Church, and internally has to suppress the rebellion of the Seventeen Kingdoms, the military force is probably going to be stretched thin, right?】

The Eternal Night Empress's eyes lit up, then she became a little angry.

This brat is indeed acting!

As soon as I mentioned the unrest in the Seventeen Kingdoms, he immediately thought of the Gods, and even analyzed that the Empire's military strength was insufficient.

Even ordinary generals in the Empire don't have this kind of overall perspective.

Obviously, his playboy and useless act are all fake, he's actually incredibly smart!

You have the brains but you don't use them, you just want to slack off, right?

What was that word he used?

Lying flat!

The Empress's mind conjured up the image of Roger lying in bed, his eyes devoid of dreams...

How vivid!

A little guy who's only eighteen years old, thinking about Lying flat all day long, just wanting to be lazy, is that reasonable?!

I'm saying, if you want to disguise yourself, we can maintain a tacit understanding, secretly pass messages, secretly help me build the Empire!

The Gods aren't omniscient or omnipotent!

With me holding them back in the front, they'll never notice you, you little guy, what are you afraid of?

The more the Eternal Night Empress thought about it, the angrier she became.

I'm turning the tide, sweeping through the Seventeen Kingdoms, clearly rewarding and punishing, combining strength, beauty, and wisdom, am I not worthy of being assisted?

But she had to suppress this anger, to prevent exposing the secret that she was eavesdropping on Roger's inner thoughts.

If she acted rashly and alerted Roger, she might not have interesting inner complaints to listen to in the future.

Thinking of this, the Eternal Night Empress could only temporarily not pursue Roger's deliberate hiding his talent, and on the surface, she still had to use Roger as a tree hole.

She explained the benevolent governance policies advocated by ministers such as Angelina.

The Empress summarized: "The Right Chancellor has the people's livelihood in mind, suggesting a gradual approach, but I always feel it's too slow."

Roger respectfully advised: "Your Majesty, haste makes waste, governing a country can't be successful overnight, you mustn't harm your body."

The Empress didn't rush to express her opinion.

Because she knew that Roger's inner thoughts were the key, and in his bursting chaotic thoughts, " panning for gold from the poop" was the most important thing about this question:

【 Taking a gradual approach? Let the Seventeen Kingdoms appreciate the Empire's kindness and naturally submit? My foolish sister, wash up and go to sleep, anything is possible in your dreams.】

【Besides, does the Empire even have time to let you slowly do it? No matter how strong your internal affairs abilities are, you can't create something from nothing, to support the people of the Seventeen Kingdoms!】

【Using concessions to exchange for the Seventeen Kingdoms' people's superficial praise, when the Empire really needs them one day, adding taxes and labor on their heads, they're guaranteed to immediately turn hostile!】

【Moreover, treating the Seventeen Kingdoms' people so well, what will the local citizens of the Azure Vine Empire think? Fighting hard for ten years, sweeping the world, and finally supporting foreign ancestors? Are my Empire's people inferior?】

His analyses, one after another, were earth-shattering, instantly making the Eternal Night Empress understand many things!

Focusing only on the Seventeen Kingdoms, but forgetting the thoughts of the Empire's people!

Fighting hard with her for ten years, but in the end, their treatment is not as good as a group of surrenderers...

This is indeed not right!

You can't let whoever makes trouble get the advantage!

With Roger's analysis, Angelina's benevolent governance policy was directly rejected by the Empress.

And because Roger called Angelina " foolish sister", the Eternal Night Empress revealed a knowing smile.

Someone is being scolded with me, comfortable!

This kid's heart is truly bold and unrestrained, not even being polite to his own sister.

"Lord Roger is right, I have gained some insight!"

The Empress was quite satisfied, preparing to return to the palace and announce the implementation of Margaret's tyrannical policy!

"Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty, come by more often!" Roger put on a reluctant look.

【Finally got rid of this unlucky star, starting tomorrow, I'm never coming to this room again】

The Eternal Night Empress snorted.

This kid is two-faced, never telling the truth, truly dishonest!

But he is indeed clever, seeing problems quite comprehensively.

Otherwise, why not ask him what he thinks of the policies proposed by Margaret?

The Eternal Night Empress actually had many dissatisfactions and concerns about this policy, otherwise they wouldn't be unable to come to a conclusion.

But asking this brat's opinion on everything, wouldn't it make me seem incompetent?

If I don't ask, I feel quite uneasy...

The Empress, who was always decisive and resolute, rarely hesitated.

Looking up, seeing Roger curled up in a ball from the cold, her eyes suddenly lit up:

I'm not asking for his advice.

I'm just finding an excuse to freeze him for a while longer, to punish him for his disrespect towards me!

Yes, that's how it is!

The Eternal Night Empress gave a thumbs up to her own wit.

So only seeing the Eternal Night Empress stand up halfway, then sit back down, and gently open her mouth:

"Lord Roger, what do you think of the practice of shaving hair and changing clothes, and dividing the people of the Seventeen Kingdoms into classes?"

"Ah... is this Margaret's idea?"

"That's right, there are other supporting plans as follows..."

The Eternal Night Empress explained in detail.

Roger was shivering and messy in the wind:

【No, why isn't this woman leaving again?】

【Couldn't she have caught chronic arthritis so quickly?】

【My god, she's chatting again, women are such long-winded creatures! I don't want to hear what small ceiling fan has planned!】

【 Shaving hair and changing clothes? Isn't that the sorcery that the Manchus used when they entered the Central Plains? It's indeed simple and direct, but it's too late to implement it now!】

【The Empire's policies have been relatively moderate for the past three years, suddenly implementing such harsh tyranny will only make people feel that policies change with the morning dew, lacking deterrence!】

【Moreover, there are the remnants of the Seventeen Kingdoms and the Seven Gods Church instigating from the sidelines, using this iron-fisted policy will only exacerbate the contradictions and double the unrest in the Seventeen Kingdoms!】

【Most importantly, the Empire's military strength is insufficient and is currently in a stage of recuperation, unable to forcefully suppress the Seventeen Kingdoms!】

Roger thought a lot of messy things in his heart, and also complained about Margaret's policy.

But on his mouth, he was concise: "Your Majesty's plan is wise, immediate results, suppressing by force the Seventeen Kingdoms, high, really high!"

The Eternal Night Empress was used to his style.

When this kid opens his mouth, it's like farting, with no substantive content.

Just listening to his inner thoughts is enough.

Look, Margaret's policy has also been pointed out a lot of problems by him.

But in this way, both policies have serious drawbacks and cannot be implemented.

Next, how exactly should the problem of the Seventeen Kingdoms be solved?

The Eternal Night Empress couldn't help but let out a sigh: "In this world, is there no way to make the Seventeen Kingdoms forever submit to the Empire?"

"I am a mediocre talent, completely unaware of how to make the rebellious people of the Seventeen Kingdoms to be submissive! But I believe that slowly searching, there is always a way..."

Roger said these insincere words, but his heart unconsciously said:

【Bloody hell, her cultural level is not high enough, she doesn't even know "车同轨，书同文，行同伦(车同轨，书同文，行同伦: standardize the writing system, currency and measurements)"?】

Instantly, the Eternal Night Empress cheered up, her beautiful eyes fixedly stared at Roger.

车同轨，书同文，行同伦(车同轨，书同文，行同伦: standardize the writing system, currency and measurements)?

Nine characters, but containing supreme philosophy!

The Eternal Night Empress keenly grasped something, truly not willing to miss a single character...

Quick, keep thinking!

Lord Roger, what are you doing, don't stop!

Let me hear, what good ideas do you have!

Chapter 10: The Style of That Glance

Speaking of which, Roger also has the habit of making videos and live streaming to make a living.

When new games come out, when new melons and new meme come out, in order to gain popularity, it's inevitable to make a video to elaborate roast.

It's not shameful to earn money.

Over time, no matter what topic Roger has, he can infinitely extend it and turn it into a stand-up comedy.

After transmigrating, he knew he couldn't talk nonsense.
