I'm Foolish, Send The Country At The Beginning, And Become An Emperor Through The Ages

After coming out of the palace, it was getting late, Li Linfu decided to go home to eat and rest.

As soon as he got home, the housekeeper reported: "Master, there is someone outside asking to see you, this is his greeting card for you!"

Li Linfu opened it and raised his eyebrows slightly.

This was sent by a family surnamed Li.

They had come here once before and brought a gift worth 20,000 taels, hoping to get some information about the imperial examination questions from him.

However, he was sternly rejected and kicked out.

I didn't expect that the evil heart would never die, and it came again.

Recalling Lin Beifan's words, Li Linfu pondered for a moment and said, "Let them in!"

"Yes, sir!" The butler backed away.

After about half a cup of tea, a fat middle-aged man led two servants who were carrying boxes, walked in with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands together: "Li Furen, a grassroots man, pay homage to Mr. Li, the servant of the Ministry of Rites!"

Li Linfu nodded majestically: "Yes! I'm busy with business, so I don't have time to greet you! If you have anything to say, just get straight to the point!"

"Yes, my lord!" Li Furen shouted back the two servants who were carrying the box, then looked around the room, and finally took a careful look at the butler beside Li Linfu, hesitating for a moment: "This...

Li Linfu waved his hand: "There are no outsiders here, so just talk to me if you have anything to say!"

"Okay, then the grass-roots people will say it directly!"

Li Furen took three steps closer, and said in a low voice: "Caomin heard that you are in charge of the Great Xia Imperial Examination this time! The imperial examination has a heavy responsibility, and even the small ones are clear about it! But the law is nothing more than human feelings, and we candidates have traveled a long way It is not easy to come here! So I hope that the adults can understand our sadness and be a little more accommodating...."

As he spoke, he opened the box and took out the treasure inside.

"Master Li, this is a golden arhat, all made of gold! Sculpted by a famous artist, the carving is lifelike and lifelike, worth 3,500 taels of silver!"

"Master Li, these are 10 longan pearls. Only in the deep sea can we dig them out! Each of these pearls is as big as a longan, and each one is worth 300 taels of silver!"

"Master Li, this is the authentic work of Tang Yan, a master of painting and calligraphy! This painting is called "The Tiger Descending the Mountain". It is the proud work of Master Tang Yan in his later years. The current market price is 5,000 taels of silver!"

"Master Li, this is a blue-gray inkstone. The ink that is ground from it is not only delicate, but also does not de-ink, and can be preserved forever! This inkstone is currently priceless!"

"Master Li, this is...

One heavy treasure after another was pulled out by the other party.

Li Linfu's heart skipped a beat when he saw it. The Li family really spent a lot of money to bribe him!

If it wasn't for his life-hungry and greedy for power, he might not be able to hold on!

"The total value of these treasures is about 30,000 taels of silver! Master Li, this is just a meeting gift! After the event is completed, there will be a great gift!" Li Furen pushed all the things in front of Li Linfu, and said with a smile.

"Oh, you really worked so hard to gain fame!" Li Linfu didn't know whether it was a sarcasm or a compliment.

"I hope Master Li can understand our intentions!" Li Furen said without changing his face.

"To be honest, it's hard for me to just give you this little thing!" Li Linfu said in a very embarrassed way, grabbing the golden arhat.

Li Furen was stunned: "Master Li, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, do you think I will kill my head for this little money?" Li Linfu sneered: "Go back and tell the people behind you that if you want to be named on the gold list, you have to be willing to be on the gold list." Benshanke!"

So, Li Furen was kicked out of the door again.

When he went back, the young man couldn't wait to ask: "What's the situation, did Li Linfu nod in agreement?"

Li Furen cupped his hands and said respectfully: "My lord, Li Linfu didn't agree, but he didn't completely refuse! He said that if you want to be named on the gold list, you must be willing to spend your money!"

"We gave so many things, but he still thinks it's not enough?"

"Too greedy!"

"It's clear that you have an eye for money!"

Everyone else gets angry.

The young gentleman smiled very calmly: "I'm not afraid that he will be greedy, but I am afraid that he will not be greedy! As long as he eats it in his stomach, he will spit it out for me sooner or later! Prepare a generous gift!"

So, they once again prepared a generous gift.

This time, the total value of the gifts reached 50,000 taels of silver.

This time, Li Linfu did not refuse, and accepted everything, and then only threw out one word.

"Min~々!" The young man looked at the writing on his hand and said, "It seems that the topic of the imperial examination this time is mainly related to the people, and it is very in line with the intention of the stupid king! Because since he took office, although he has made many stupid things. things, but the foothold lies in the people! I would rather have an empty treasury than make the people rich!"

"Indeed, for a group of ordinary people who have nothing to do with him, they don't even want their own money. I have never seen such a prodigal! If it weren't for his rich resources and solid foundation, the Great Xia would have been over!" Someone disdainfully explain.

"That's right, it's too wasteful! If it were me, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to those ordinary people! Anyway, they cut off one crop after another, and there are so many people that it doesn't matter how many people die!"

"As an emperor, the last thing you can do is to be soft-hearted!"

"Only this one word, the amount of information is too little, far from enough!" The young son said loudly: "If you prepare a generous gift, we want more accurate information!"

"Yes, my lord!" Li Furen withdrew.

Then, Li Furen went to visit Li Linfu with 50,000 taels of gold, silver and jewelry.

When I came back, there was another word in my hand.

"Rich! The people are rich, the people are rich... It seems that the fool is really dedicated to serving the people!" The young man said with a smile: "With these two words, let us work hard in what areas! But, again Prepare generous gifts and see if you can get the exam questions!"

This time, Li Furen came to the door directly with a silver note of 100,000 taels.

This time, he finally opened Li Linfu's mouth and obtained the exact content of the exam questions.

However, they also learned a cruel truth.

It turned out that there were a total of three exam questions in this imperial examination, one question per day, and they only got one of these exam questions now.

The young son was a little unhappy, it cost so much to know a question.

It is really a pity to let him eat it uselessly and discard it.

"My lord, shall we continue now?"

The young man gritted his teeth: "Of course we have to continue. After finally knocking his mouth open, then we must take this opportunity to win it in one fell swoop! Then prepare a generous gift for this young man: "Get the other two exam questions in your hand!"

So, this time they prepared 300,000 taels to visit Li Linfu.

Finally got the content of the other two exam questions from him.

For this imperial examination, he is more confident.

Not to mention being admitted to the top three, there is absolutely no problem in the top ten!

However, when I thought that I had paid 500,000 taels for this imperial examination, I felt very heartbroken.

"The one surnamed Li is too greedy. We will settle accounts with him in the future! Let some children of the family come to take the imperial examination. We have paid too much, and we must get back with interest!"

"Yes, sir!"

At the same time, the children of other aristocratic families are also doing their best to bribe Li Linfu to get the exam questions from him.

Two weeks passed quickly, and almost all the aristocratic families came to Li's mansion for a walk, making Li Linfu rich.

However, when he looked at these gold and silver jewels, he only felt that they were reminders, and he didn't have any thoughts at all.

Take these gold and silver jewels into the palace overnight.

"Report to Your Majesty, these gold, silver and jewels were bribed by the descendants of those aristocratic families. The total value has reached 13.5 million taels. I dare not take any of them. I dedicate them all to Your Majesty. Please be aware of them!"

Lin Beifan looked at the gold, silver and jewels filled with several carriages, and shook his head: "This group of aristocratic families are really rich! I can make so much money out of clever tricks! Li Aiqing, you are doing well. I am very satisfied!"

"These are all credits to His Majesty, I dare not take the credit!" Li Linfu said modestly.

Lin Beifan took a box of gold, silver and jewelry from the car, handed it to Li Linfu, and said with a smile: "My love, this is what I rewarded you! In addition, after the imperial examination is over, I will raise your position one more time." carry!"

Li Linfu is overjoyed, he is now the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and if he is more advanced, he will be the Minister of the Ministry of Rites!

Prove that this time, what I have done is very much in line with His Majesty's wishes!

Li Linfu said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Long En! I must devote myself to death!"

Three days later, the first imperial examination in Daxia finally started.

Countless scholars who came from afar, entered the examination room under the strict supervision of the officials, and gained fame in the examination.

Especially the children of the aristocratic family, they have obtained the test questions secretly, and they are fully prepared, full of confidence, and the city lord is in their chest.

"This imperial examination will definitely be taken by us!"

"As long as you have the opportunity to become an official in the court, you can rely on the advantages of the family to rise up step by step, and when you reach the position of a minister, you can slowly take over the faint king and grasp the power!"

"Big Xia will eventually fall into the hands of our family!"

At this moment, a sharp voice came from a distance: "Your Majesty is here! Why don't you quickly bow and kneel?"

The examinees turned their heads and saw Lin Beifan walking slowly under the support of everyone.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone knelt down and saluted.

Lin Beifan stretched out his arms and said with a smile: "Students who have come from afar, hurry up! You are willing to come to Daxia to take the exam and work for Daxia. I am very happy! I hope you can do well in this imperial examination. Normal performance, gold list title!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded.

"Li Aiqing, have you started preparing for the imperial examination?" Lin Beifan asked Li Linfu.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all candidates have entered the arena now, and there is still half a stick of incense time before the exam will officially begin! Now, we are preparing to distribute the test papers to all candidates!" Li Linfu replied.

"Okay! I just came at the right time!" Lin Beifan laughed and said, "I already know the exam topic, but after thinking about it, I found something wrong! So, I want to change the topic!"

"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world, and your words are imperial edicts. You can change any topic you want! But Your Majesty, what kind of topic do you want to come up with next?" Li Linfu said.

Lin Beifan coughed and said loudly: "All examinees, listen carefully. I will directly write the questions for the next imperial examination! My question is 'Strengthening the country and strengthening the species'. You can answer according to this theme!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded.

However, the descendants of those aristocratic families were all dumbfounded!

This stupid gentleman actually changed the exam questions temporarily?

Is it completely different from what they originally learned?

Does this mean that all their efforts in the early stage were in vain?

And the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, is it going to be wasted?

At this time, Lin Beifan waved his hand: "Okay, it's time to distribute the test papers! When the time is up, we will formally answer the questions!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Next, the test papers were distributed.

As the bell rings,

The imperial examination officially began.

Although the children of these aristocratic families were caught off guard by Lin Beifan, they are all well-educated scholars with ink in their stomachs, so they don't panic in their hearts and work hard.

Answer it.

On the second day of the imperial examination, Lin Beifan came again and changed a topic again.

Day 3, same thing.

In this way, all the original test questions will be invalidated and will not be of any use.

The pain in the heart of the children of the family!

After preparing for so long, I prepared for loneliness!

The point is, the money was spent so wrongly that it was of no use at all!

So, after the imperial examination ended, the children of these aristocratic families immediately sent people to find Li Linfu to seek justice.

It was Li Furen who came to the door first.

Li Linfu spread his hands and said helplessly: "`" I understand your difficulties, but your Majesty changed the title temporarily, what can I do? I can't be sexually rebellious

Your Majesty?"

Li Furen stretched out his hand: "Since I didn't help you, should you return the money?"

Li Linfu blinked his eyes: "What money to refund, when did the old man take your money?"

Li Furen was so angry that his mouth was twisted: "Master Li, you have been greedy for our money, how dare you deny it?"

Li Linfu's complexion changed: "Don't frame a good person! I have been sitting upright all my life, when did I steal your money? You'd better apologize immediately, or I will sue you

defamation!"

That's a generous statement!

That's an awe-inspiring thing to say!

Because he sent all the money to His Majesty, which is equivalent to confiscation!

He is indeed not greedy, not even a penny!

The more you think about it, the more confident you become!

Li Furen was trembling with anger, and could only walk away in the end.

"Master Li, please do it yourself!"

"No!"

After returning, Li Furen immediately reported the matter to the son.

The young man's face was dark: "Then Li Linfu... really said that? You don't want to return a penny?"

"Yes, son, you don't even know how arrogant he was at that time!" Li Furen said with an aggrieved face: "It's very embarrassing to think about taking so much money from us and denying it at all.

Pro!"

The young prince jumped up and said, "Okay! Since he refuses to admit it, let's show him some color!"

Afterwards, other families sent people over, but they also did not end well.

So, they all planned to teach Li Linfu a profound lesson (Li Lihao).

Two days later, when Lin Beifan came out to inspect the mine, a scholar stopped Lin Beifan's chariot.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, the students want to file an imperial petition, please Your Majesty be the master for the students!"

"Sue imperial court? What imperial court are you suing?" Lin Beifan's face straightened.

The scholar replied loudly: "Your Majesty, the student must sue Li Linfu, the Minister of Rites! During the imperial examination, he cheated for personal gain, leaked the examination questions, and caused the examination to be unfair.

Your Majesty, please be aware!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Everyone knows how important the imperial examination is to the country!

Once someone dares to cheat for personal gain in the imperial examinations, he will be severely punished, ranging from decapitated, to the worst affecting the entire family!

It doesn't matter how favored you are and how much credit you make!

Scholars who knew about this gathered immediately.

The children of the aristocratic family watched this scene secretly, with smug smiles on their faces.

Li Linfu, how do you deal with this time?

This is what happens when you greedy for our money!

Lin Beifan's face remained unchanged: "You said that my Li Aiqing leaked the exam questions and cheated for personal gain? If there is such a thing, I will naturally punish him severely and give justice to all candidates! No

But before that, do you know what punishment there is for relying on imperial certificates?"

The scholar's face turned pale: "I know... I know!"

"It's good to know!" Lin Beifan waved his hand: "Come here, give him 30 boards first! If he survives, I will investigate Li Linfu's malpractice for personal gain!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, three people stepped forward immediately.

Two of them held down his hands, while the other stood behind him, lifting a thick and thick board and smashing it down hard.

The scholar let out a heart-piercing cry.

After playing thirty big boards, the scholar also died half-life.

"Okay, the punishment is over, do you still want to sue Li Linfu for favoritism?" Lin Beifan asked.

"Yes...Of course! Your Majesty, please make decisions for the students!" the scholar said with a pale face.

"Okay! Li Linfu, the servant of the Xuanli Department, is here!".
