I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

In the Dawu court, after the officials shouted their congratulations, the empress said straight to the point.

"The three-year-old Yanwu battle is about to begin again! The Great Yan Dynasty has sent contestants to enter the territory of our dynasty, and they will arrive in the capital a week later to compete with the outstanding talents of our dynasty! Tang Aiqing, how are you preparing? "

Lin Beifan knew about this flame war.

This is a kind of competition jointly organized by the Dayan Dynasty and the Dawu Dynasty, similar to the Olympic Games, which has a history of hundreds of years.

It is held every three years in rotation.

In the battle of Yanwu, both sides sent young people under the age of 30 to compete.

Divided between Wendou and Wudou, Wendou is about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry, and Wudou is naturally martial arts.

Although there is no reward for winning, and no punishment for losing, this is a battle for honor, a battle for face, and this is what the country values ​​most, and it must be won!

Moreover, the ability of the younger generation of the two countries can also be shown through the competition.

The better the young people, the better the development of the country and the better the future, which will inspire people and inspire morale.

After so many years of development, this competitive game has become a grand event that the people of the two countries are looking forward to.

The last time the Battle of Yanwu was held in the Dayan Dynasty, this time it was naturally Dawu's turn.

The Minister of Rites, Zhao Jinli, came out and said with a bow: "Report to Your Majesty, after months of preparation, the competition venue for the Battle of Yanwu has already been set up and can be tested at any time, so Your Majesty don't have to worry!"

"Okay! How to arrange the candidates?" The Empress was more concerned about this one.

"Your Majesty, there is a slight deficiency in the arrangement of candidates!"

A thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Minister of Rites, Master Zhao: "First of all, Wen Dou, the minister has already inquired, this time Dayan will send the most outstanding young talents in history! They are the top three and two in this year's imperial examination. The first place, all under the age of 25, but all have the talent of the champion, known as the four sons of Great Yan!"

Everyone took a deep breath.

The top 4 in the imperial examinations are all young people under the age of 25, and they all have the top talent. This is really terrifying!

You know, many scholars have read books for more than 20 years, and did not pass the exam until they were in their 30s or 40s.

Like their Dawu, it has not been a champion under the age of 30 for many years.

Therefore, the appearance of Lin Beifan caused such a sensation.

"In addition, there is also the leader of Dayan, the third prince of Dayan, Yan Xinghe, who is also a knowledgeable and talented unicorn. He once participated in the imperial examination anonymously! Even if the final identity is not revealed, it may be another one. The number one scholar in the tertiary ranks of Lianlian, his talent is not inferior to that of Lin Jijiu!"

Everyone took a deep breath!

That's 5 champions!

And they only have one Lin Jijiu, one fights 5, how to fight?

Thinking about it, the odds are slim!

The queen's face was gloomy: "Zhao Aiqing, what do you mean, Wen Dou, we will lose?"

Zhao Jinli, the Minister of Rites, wiped his sweat: "Your Majesty, we still have a good chance of winning! As the home court, we can formulate rules that are more favorable to us!"

"What are you going to do?" the Queen asked.

"Your Majesty, we can take the form of a wheel battle. One person falls, and the other person picks up immediately. As long as we don't fall down, we don't lose! Our other talents are slightly inferior, but we have Lin Jijiu, as long as he can carry it. No matter what, then we still have a chance of winning!" Master Zhao reported loudly.

Really become 1 hit 5!

"But in this way, Lin Aiqing will suffer! This..." The Empress said distressedly.

"Your Majesty, this is the best way at the moment!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

...

Under Baiguan's persuasion, the Empress finally let go: "It seems that the only way is to take the form of a wheel battle! Lin Aiqing, I can only work hard for you!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Lin Beifan said calmly.

Everyone was worried, but Lin Beifan wasn't worried at all.

He has the cultural wealth of another world, and he has also integrated so many awesome character templates, which is equivalent to absorbing all their experience and talents, and those with inflated talents will come out!

Will you lose to someone else?

joke!

But the Empress and Bai Guan don't know!

The queen looked at Lin Beifan's calm appearance, thinking that the other party was pretending to be calm, and persuaded: "Lin Aiqing, don't put pressure on yourself, just do your best! If you lose, I don't blame you! But if you win, you will Our court has made great achievements, and I will definitely reward you! Dear gentlemen, do you have any opinions?"

"I have no opinion!" The officials said in unison.

"Zhao Aiqing, how are the arrangements for the fight?" the Empress asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is also a slight deficiency in martial arts!" Master Zhao, the Minister of Rites, said tremblingly.

"Why not in martial arts?" The Empress was so angry that she wanted to kill.

"Your Majesty, the 5 young masters sent by Dayan this time all have cultivation bases of rank five or above! One of them is extremely talented and has reached the realm of rank four, and is very powerful! And our masters from the younger generation of Dawu, Only three of them have reached the fifth grade, and the other two have reached the sixth grade!"

After speaking, Master Zhao's voice became much smaller.

Dayan has 4 rank 5 and 1 rank 4, Dawu has only 3 rank 5, and two ranks of rank 6 who are holding back!

No matter how you look at it, Dawu will definitely lose!

A fourth-rank person can completely destroy the Great Wu!

The queen's chest rose and fell: "Zhao Jinli, I have given you several months to prepare, so you will find these people? What can these people do? Are you trying to make me make a joke?"

Zhao Shangshu smiled wryly and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has already searched for the Three Armies, Six Gates, Jinyiwei and other institutions, and even people from the rivers and lakes have not missed it. It is really impossible to choose anyone. Please forgive me!"

The Empress turned gloomy with anger, and finally turned into a powerless sigh.

The Dawu River is sinking, and the twilight is heavy.

The vassal kings were divided, and corrupt officials were rampant.

The people are suffering, and the DPRK does not rest.

In such a harsh environment, it is impossible to cultivate useful talents.

Even if one or two talents emerge, they may be so disappointed in Dawu that they are not used by the imperial court and go to other countries.

Like their Great Yan, it was the heyday, and talents emerged one after another.

Recalling two hundred years ago, the same is true of their great martial arts. Talents have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they have become the center of the world.

Now, everything is in the past!

At this time, the empress' eyes couldn't help but drift to Lin Beifan.

This guy is a hidden young master.

Even the famous Sword Immortals and Sword Saints were easily abused by the other side, so it shouldn't be a problem if there is him.

It's a pity that this little bastard is always hiding, alas!

"My dear fellows, what's the best way?"

Baiguan looked at each other in dismay, the gap is too big, no method is very useful.

At this time, Lin Beifan stood up: "Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

The queen's eyes lit up: "What's the plan for love, tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty, and all the adults, have you heard the story of Tian Ji's horse racing?" Lin Beifan laughed.

"Tian Ji's horse racing?" Everyone looked confused.

"In the very ancient times, there was a country named Qi, and the people there were all horse lovers and they all liked horse racing! One of them was named Tian Ji, who often raced horses with the country's lord, King Wei! However, his Horses are always inferior to King Wei of Qi, do you know how he won later?"

"How did you win?" Everyone said in unison.

"Because a strategist found that although Tian Ji's horses are not as good as King Wei of Qi, the difference between horses of the same level is not big! There is a huge gap between different levels! Therefore, I suggested that Tian Ji use his best horses to align King Wei's middle horse. Use his middle horse to match King Wei's lower horse. Use his lower horse to match King Wei's upper horse."

"In this way..." Lin Beifan said with a smile: "Tian Ji's top horse is stronger than Qi Wei Wang's medium horse, winning one round! Tian Ji's medium horse is stronger than Qi Wei Wang's inferior horse, winning another round! Tian Ji's inferior horse is naturally inferior to Qi Wei Wang's superior horse, he loses one game! Two wins in three games, Tian Ji wins!"

"Our martial arts are very similar to Tian Ji's horse racing!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, as if they had thought of something.

"However, there are only three of us Rank 5 masters. Only by ensuring that they all win, can we win the battle! And each of them is at least Rank 5. How can we win?" Someone asked.

"Your Majesty, we can collect the relevant information of the participants in the Great Flame Fight, analyze the three weakest players, pick out their weaknesses, and find a way to crack them! Then, we will conduct special training for our people! In this way, The odds are great!" Lin Meifan reported loudly.

The Empress finally turned cloudy: "This is a good idea! Dear Aiqing, is there anything you need to add?"

"I have no opinion!" The officials said in unison.

"Okay! Just follow this plan! This matter is up to..." The Empress's eyes drifted to Lin Beifan, and she smiled: "Lin Aiqing is responsible!"

Lin Beifan was stunned: "Me?"

"Yes, one thing does not work for two masters!" The Empress smiled and said: "Aiqing, this suggestion was made by you, so you will naturally be responsible for it. I believe you will not disappoint me!"

Lin Beifan panicked: "But Your Majesty, Wei Chen can't do it!"

I am a conscientious corrupt official!

He will not do anything that is not good!

"I don't care, I'll leave it to you! Among the civil and military officials, you are the only one who reassures me the most! You can use whatever resources you want, and I will fully support you!" The Empress laughed.

Lin Beifan's expression changed immediately: "Your Majesty, this minister needs 500,000 taels of funding, please grant your permission!"

Empress: "..."

Good guy, really can climb up the pole!

500,000 funds, really dare to open! mouth

"Okay! I will approve your 500,000 funds! Dear Aiqings, whoever has an opinion will come up with it, and I will hand over this task to him. If we can't finish it, he will be cured of his sins!" The Empress said loudly.

All the officials who were about to open their mouths shrank back.

Lin Beifan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"However, Lin Jijiu is a scholar. Is this... appropriate?" The Minister of Rites advised.

The Empress shouted, "Shut up! Lin Aiqing is much more useful than you! I gave you a few months to prepare, but you handed over such an answer? I am so disappointed!"

Zhao Jinli was scolded and shrank his head, his heart was full of grievances and grievances.

He has worked hard to do so many things, without credit or hard work, not only did he not get the award from His Majesty, but he was also scolded by the other party in front of the civil and military officials.

Touch your heart, your heart is as cold as water! ten.
