I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

Lin Beifan smiled and said, "Master Yao, you said I was wrong and told me to stop in time, but why was I wrong?"

"Although I am a corrupt official, how have I ever corrupted the common people? Yes, I have been corrupted a lot, but I have been corrupted from hundreds of officials! If they are not corrupt, will I have a chance?"

"Whatever I do, it can be regarded as indirectly avenging the common people!"

"Compared with other people, this official can be called the conscience of the court, much more honest than them!"

Lin Beifan took a drink triumphantly.

"Moreover, I have also solved a lot of things for the court and His Majesty!"

"If I hadn't persuaded His Majesty and all the officials to give up the compensation from the Doro Kingdom, within three years, the frontiers would surely be resurgent! How many good men have shed blood on the frontiers? How many people have been displaced? How big is the court's loss? These...have you counted all of them? ?”

It was me who made this battle avoidable! "

"It was me who saved countless men and common people, and stopped the court's losses!"

"I also invented the big balloon, a flying artifact, and the hovercraft, a powerful underwater weapon! These are all artifacts that benefit the country and the people, and each of them can enhance the country's luck and strength!"

Lin Beifan shouted: "Lord Yao, I have done so many things for the court and the common people, am I not contributing more than all of you upright officials? What is wrong with me?".

Chapter 137 The capital can no longer satisfy your appetite, have you reached out to the whole country?

"All of you upright officials don't contribute as much to the National People's Congress as I do. Why do you teach me how to do things? What qualifications do you have to teach me how to do things?" Lin Beifan asked loudly again.

"Ah!" Yao Zheng sighed, and drank in muffled sips, as if he had aged a few years!

I am really not qualified!

All the upright officials in the dynasty are not qualified!

Although Lin Beifan is indeed greedy, he has indeed done real good deeds for the court and the common people!

These upright officials don't even have the chance to serve the court and plead for the people!

Who has nothing to contribute, so what qualifications do you have to blame the other party?

Is it just because of his reputation and integrity?

This thing works sometimes, but sometimes it doesn't!

Just like now, when the country survives or dies, whether the country can survive or not is a problem. What's the use of these reputations and integrity?

What's the use of being upright?

Otherwise, His Majesty would not reuse corrupt officials!

"No, honest officials are still useful!"

"As long as capable and honest officials are cultivated, then His Majesty will definitely use them, and the court will definitely use them again!"

"So, this old man must cultivate capable and honest officials!"

"Not only clean and honest, but also able to do practical things for the people and solve problems for the court!"

"At that time, when the entire court is full of capable and upright officials, the court will definitely look completely new, and the lives of the people will definitely improve. Our Great Wu Dynasty will be saved!"

Yao Zheng's spirit was shaken, he found a new belief again, and glowed with new vitality!

Lin Beifan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lord Yao, for realizing it! As you said, it is only useful to cultivate capable and upright officials! When the entire court is filled with capable and upright officials, Dawu will be saved! 07"

"However, it is very difficult to cultivate capable and honest officials!"

Lin Beifan sighed: "You know, the reason why honest officials can't beat corrupt officials is because honest officials have etiquette and shame, but corrupt officials don't! Honest officials are self-denying and self-serving, but corrupt officials don't! Honest officials have the world in mind, and corrupt officials only care about their own interests!"

"Under such restrictive conditions, it is too difficult to cultivate capable and honest officials!"

"No matter how difficult it is, I am willing to try it!" Yao Zheng said firmly.

"Okay! I'll give you a chance!" Lin Beifan said loudly, "There are currently no vacancies for the two supervisors in our country's Zijian! So I plan to promote you to the position of secretary, responsible for the students' studies and morals. I wonder if Mr. Yao is interested in education in self-cultivation and other aspects?"

Yao Zheng's body shook, and he said in shock: "Lin Jijiu, you..."

I had been dealing with him before, but I didn't expect that the other party wanted to promote him to the position of secretary regardless of the previous suspicions!

Let him step into the officialdom again and realize his lifelong ambition!

He nana said: "Master Jijiu, why is this so?"

Lin Beifan smiled and said: "Since I became a priest, the official duties have become more and more onerous, so I want to find someone to help me share it! Master Yao, you have been an official for many years and have rich experience! You have stayed in the Imperial College for a while and are familiar with the business of the Imperial College , the work is considered excellent, so I want to bring you up to share my worries!"

Although these words are light, for Yao Zheng, who has been an official all his life, it is like giving him a second life!

My heart is full of emotion, and thousands of words come to my heart, but I don't know what to say!

He could only cup his hands, and said with a choked voice, "Thank you...Master Jijiu!"

"You're welcome, this is what you should thank! However, I won't do good things for nothing!" Lin Beifan said with a smile: "Look, I've already promoted you and made you rich. Should you... mean it?"

Yao Zheng was stunned!

Good guy!

What do you mean?

Isn't it just asking for benefits from him?

This Lord Jijiu actually asked for benefits from his former speech officer!

"Master Jijiu, you can't be so greedy, the old man really has no money at home..."

"Who said I'm going to be greedy? I've copied your house, don't I know how much money you have? I asked you to bribe me first, and then I sternly refused!" Lin Beifan shouted.

Yao Zheng: "Damn it!"

Bribe yourself, and then the other party refuses?

I was the only one who co-authored the wrong thing, and you are still innocent?

Isn't this playing tricks on me?

"Look, if I help you do such a big thing, you can't let me have a good time?" Lin Beifan said dissatisfied.

Yao Zheng: "Damn it!"

Cool!

It is clear that I want to base my happiness on my pain!

You know, he has been an official all his life, and he is innocent!

Don't talk about bribing others, it's just accepting bribes, which has never been done before!

He has always been proud of it!

But now, you asked me to bribe you, and you still refused...

Isn't this trampling on my dignity?

This is too much of a thing!

How could he come up with such a disgusting trick?

"Master Yao, is it okay? If it's okay, you can just say a word, if not, I'll find someone else! After all, no matter how you say it, the Secretary of the Guozijian is a sixth-rank official, and many people are rushing to do it!" Lin Beifan said.

"Wait, give me some time to think about it! Just a little time..."

Yao Zheng was very conflicted in his heart, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

Should I do it or not?

If you don't do it, you will have to miss the position of secretary!

In the future, I may never have the opportunity to step into the officialdom and realize my ambitions!

If you do, it will violate the principles and beliefs of his life!

So, is he still him?

This decision is too difficult for him!

Lin Beifan drank happily while admiring Yao Zheng's face-changing performance.

In the end, Yao Zheng made up his mind.

Some tremblingly walked to the side of the bookcase, took out a long and thin box from it, came to Lin Beifan, and said in great pain: "Master Jijiu, this is the calligraphy and painting of Master Fuzhang that I have always treasured, and now I will give it to you as a gift." To you! The post of Imperial Supervisor... I leave it to you!"

After saying this sentence, the whole person seemed to be exhausted!

I finally became...

The person I hate the most!

God, why are you doing this to me?

And the person in front of him is simply a devil!

Lin Beifan smiled triumphantly: "Master Yao, look, aren't you very flexible now? As long as you have an official position, as long as you can still realize your ambitions and ideals, what is a small sacrifice? If you fall into the trap of a corrupt official hand, then no matter how much you regret it, no matter how much you try to save it, it will be useless!"

"Please remember..." Lin Beifan said earnestly: "Don't give up the things you love the most to the people you hate the most! Because they will only spoil and won't cherish!"

After listening to Lin Beifan's words, Yao Zheng was immediately refreshed and regained a lot of vitality.

This is too tmd reasonable!

Don't give up what you love the most to the person you hate the most!

Then they will only ruin it, not cherish it!

Therefore, even if you violate some conscience and make some sacrifices, it is totally worth it!

"Thank you for your guidance, my lord, I understand!" Yao Zheng cupped his hands.

Lin Beifan glanced at the calligraphy and painting, and said: "This thing is not worth much, you take it back, and wait for my good news later!"

"Thank you, Lord Jijiu!" Yao Zheng sincerely thanked him.

After drinking the wine, Lin Beifan went back.

On the morning of the second day, Lin Beifan wrote a letter.

"Your Majesty, since I served as a sacrificial wine minister, I have been diligent and diligent, and I dare not slack off! However, my official duties are too heavy, not only to manage the affairs of the Imperial College, but also to supervise the work of the Ministry of Industry! And , the two divisions of the Imperial Academy are absent at the same time, seriously affecting the normal operation of the Imperial Academy!"

"For fear of disappointing the emperor's favor, I proposed that an additional official be appointed as the Secretary of the Imperial Academy!"

"Please your majesty's permission!"

The empress said distressedly: "Aiqing has worked hard, is there a suitable candidate?"

"Yao Zheng, the former speech officer, can take up this position!"

Lin Beifan reported loudly: "Master Yao has been an official for [-] years. He has sufficient qualifications and rich experience in the officialdom! He is upright and has admirable virtue! Now, he has been teaching at the Imperial College for several months, and he is familiar with the business of the Imperial College. He is doing a great job!"

"That's why I proposed that Yao Zheng be promoted to be the Secretary of the Imperial Academy!"

Baiguan was a little confused.

It's not easy for Yao to be defeated by you, but you want to be promoted?

Are you not afraid that the other party will continue to make trouble for you?

However, these are the affairs of the Imperial College and Lin Beifan's territory, they are too lazy to intervene!

The empress said: "Yao Zheng really has nothing to say about being an official, but sometimes he is too upright and jealous, causing a lot of trouble, so I let him resign and reflect! It's almost the same now, so I agree with Lin Aiqing's proposal! Re-use Yao Zheng and promote him to be the Secretary of the Imperial Academy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan raised his hand.

Then, he took out another memorial.

"I still have another one!"

"Bring it up!"

At the same time, Lin Beifan said loudly from below: "In order to reflect the great grace of the emperor and convey His Majesty's concern, I propose that all officials of the fifth rank and above, and their children of the right age, be admitted to the Imperial College!"

The empress sitting on the dragon chair was stunned, and all the officials were stunned!

"Aiqing, why do you say that?"

Lin Beifan shook hands and reported loudly.

"One can embody the great grace of the emperor and solve the education problem of the officials' children! How can education in various places compare to the Imperial College? We provide them with this precious opportunity. Officials from all over the place must be deeply grateful, grateful, and more loyal to His Majesty. Yu court!"

"Secondly, the children of officials have been taught by their father's words and deeds. They have excellent blood, and most of them are excellent in character and learning! When you come to the Imperial Academy, you can get a more complete education, improve your ability, and serve the court better!"
