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

Jinluan Palace, Morning Dynasty

"Farewell to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Dear dear friends, no gifts!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The empress sat high on the dragon chair and looked at the entire audience.

When she saw Lin Beifan standing at the back, her eyes lit up and she smiled brightly:"Where is Lin Aiqing? Lin

Beifan stood up, clasped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, what do you have to say to me?""

"It’s nothing serious, I just want to see you! The empress smiled with satisfaction and said:"Lin Aiqing, you have been an official for some time. How are you now? Are you still used to it?" Is there anything you don’t understand?"

"Avoid your majesty's words, everything is fine with me, your majesty, please rest assured!"Lin Beifan clasped his hands and said

"How is the work at the Imperial College? Have you started now?"The empress' smile remains unchanged.

"Replying to His Majesty, with the help of his colleagues, Wei Chen has become familiar with the work and environment of the Imperial College, and all work has been carried out smoothly! Lin Beifan said loudly

"Yes, he is indeed the number one scholar I admire most! I admire your mansion. Is it a comfortable stay?"

"It was a very pleasant stay, thank you for the gift!"

"Are you eating well? Look at you, you seem to be much thinner than before!"

"Reply to His Majesty……"

……

After answering each question, Lin Beifan was a little flattered!

Why is the empress acting so weird today?

So concerned about his daily diet?

It was so considerate that it made him embarrassed!

But the officials standing around looked at each other and felt disgusted.

Please, Your Majesty, even if you favor Lin Beifan again, can you first see where this place is?

This is the Jinluan Palace, a place where national affairs are discussed!

Can you talk about those annoying things on another occasion?

However, all the old foxes present did not speak after all.

After a round of questions, Lin Beifan's answer was perfect and impeccable.

However, the empress was not satisfied.

The reason why she asked Lin Beifan was to know what Lin Beifan lacked and what problems he encountered, and then she could compensate him and thank him for everything he had done secretly.

As a result, you have nothing to do and don’t need anything. What do you want me to do?

It’s very difficult for me to handle, okay?

"Lin Aiqing, it seems you are not telling the truth! Do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"The empress shouted.

Lin Beifan was frightened:"Your Majesty, why do you say this?"

"You have just joined the official job, there is no way you will have no problems at all! Now I ask you, tell me honestly! Otherwise, I will convict you of deceiving the emperor!"The empress said loudly

"Your Majesty, must I say it?"Lin Beifan looked eager.

"Say it, you must say it!"The empress' voice was sonorous.

Lin Beifan sighed:"Well, Wei Chen did encounter a problem!"

"What's the problem? Tell me!"The empress's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, since I have just become an official, my salary is meager and my wealth is limited! And the consumption in the capital is increasing day by day, so Wei Chen is already unable to make ends meet!"Lin Beifan said shyly.

The corners of the mouths of the officials present twitched.

Damn it! You are here to cry about poverty again!

Since you became an official, you have embezzled millions of taels!

You are even greedy for their son's money, but you still have the nerve to cry about poverty. ?

What a shameless person!

However, the empress nodded in agreement.

Lin Beifan had no financial background before, and he had not been an official for long. His official position was low and his salary was limited.

And the money he had gained had been distributed, and he still had to It is indeed not easy to raise a family of several people in this capital city where every inch of land is precious.

So, the empress said heartily:"Ai Qing, you have really worked hard! Let's do this, I will order the Ministry of Accounts to increase your salary to solve your problem of lack of money! Look, how about giving you a salary according to the specifications of a fourth-grade official?"

Lin Beifan was confused. I didn't do anything, so you gave me a raise?

What does this mean? Why don't I understand?

The officials are not calm anymore!

They haven't even worked for a few days, and they gave this bastard a raise." ?

And it’s already reached the fourth rank!

Isn’t it too chaotic?

The Minister of Hubu stood up first and said loudly:"Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate! Since the founding of the country by Dawu, Taizu has set rules. Officials at each level can only receive the salary of the level they belong to. How can we follow the rules and maintain the stability of the court? The rules cannot be broken and the laws of the ancestors cannot be violated. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"All the officials said in unison.

Looking at these officials who were opposing her, the empress said with a hint of anger:"Okay, no more teasing! Then I can reward him with ten thousand taels of silver, right? It was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who spoke first again:"Your Majesty, the silver reward comes from the national treasury and involves the country's foundation. It cannot be used easily!" Lin Siye has no merit, and rashly rewarding him is inconsistent with reason and law! Your Majesty, please think again!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"The officials responded again.

The empress was so angry that her chest heaved.

She just wanted to give some compensation to the only honest official in the dynasty, but why is it so difficult?

You corrupt officials and sycophants!

Sooner or later, I will definitely execute you all!

"Okay, I don’t need to use money from the national treasury. I should be able to use money from the private treasury, right? This is my money, I can give it to whomever I want!"The empress said angrily.

"His Majesty……"

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind!"

The officials looked at the empress' indifferent expression and shook their heads.

One word popped up in their minds: You are a fool! There is a three-day summer promotion, top up 100 and get 500 VIP coupons!
