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

Jinluan Hall, early morning.

"Meet Your Majesty, Long Live My Emperor, Long Live Long Live!"

"Everyone loves you for free!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Empress sat high on the dragon chair and watched the audience.

Seeing Lin Beifan standing at the back, his eyes lit up and he smiled: "Where is Lin Aiqing?"

Lin Beifan stood up and clasped his hands: "Your Majesty, what is your order to Wei Chen?"

"It's not a big deal, I just want to see you!" The Empress smiled with satisfaction: "Lin Aiqing, you've 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, Wei Chen is all right, please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan said with a hand.

"How is the work of Guozijian? Have you started it now?" The Queen's smile remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty's words, with the help of my colleagues, Wei Chen has become familiar with the work and environment of Guozijian, and all the work has been carried out smoothly!" Lin Beifan said loudly.

"Yes, as expected of the champion I admire the most! I reward your mansion, can you live comfortably?"

"It was a very comfortable stay, thank you Your Majesty for the reward!"

"Have you eaten well? Look at you, you seem to be much thinner than before!"

"If you go back to Your Majesty..."

...

After the questions and answers, Lin Beifan was a little flattered!

Why is the empress today so weird?

So concerned about his daily diet?

So sweet, it made him feel embarrassed!

The hundred officials standing around looked at each other in dismay, feeling tired and crooked.

Please, Your Majesty, even if you favor Lin Beifan again, can you take a look at this place first?

This is the Golden Palace, a place to discuss national affairs!

Can you talk about your greasy and crooked things in another setting?

However, all the old foxes present did not speak.

After one round of questioning, 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 compensated him and thanked him for everything he secretly paid.

As a result, you have nothing and need nothing, what should I do?

I'm having a hard time, okay?

"Lin Aiqing, it seems that you didn't tell the truth! You know, this is the crime of deceiving the king!" the Empress shouted.

Lin Beifan panicked: "Your Majesty, why did you say this?"

"You have just entered the office, so it is impossible that you have no problems at all! Now that I ask you, you will tell me honestly! Otherwise, I will convict you of deceiving the king!" The Empress said loudly.

"Your Majesty, do you have to say it?" Lin Beifan stared.

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

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

"What's the problem, tell me quickly!" The Empress' eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, because Wei Chen has just become an official, his salary is meager and his wealth is limited! And the consumption in the capital is increasing day by day, so Wei Chen has already made ends meet!" Lin Beifan said shyly.

The corners of the mouths of the officials present twitched.

What the hell!

I even came to cry poor again!

Since you became an official, you have already embezzled several million taels!

Even their son's money is greedy, how dare he cry poor?

What a shameless man!

However, the Empress nodded in agreement.

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

And all the money he has greed has been distributed, and he has to support a family of several people. It is indeed very difficult in this capital where the land is expensive.

So, the Empress said distressedly: "Aiqing has really worked hard! Let's do this, I will ask the Ministry of Household to increase your salary and silver to solve your lack of money! Look, how about giving you salary and silver according to the specifications of a fourth-rank official? ?"

Lin Beifan was stunned, I didn't do anything, just give me a raise?

What does this mean, why can't I understand it?

Baiguan is also not calm!

Give this bastard a pay raise without working for a few days?

And one plus to the fourth grade!

Is it too messy?

The Minister of the Household first stood up and said loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this is inappropriate! Since the founding of the Great Wu Kingdom, the Taizu has set the rules, officials of each rank can only be paid according to the rank you belong to, how can you abide by the rules and maintain The court is stable! The rules cannot be broken, the laws of the ancestors cannot be violated, please think twice!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" The officials said in unison.

Looking at the group of officials who sang against her, the Empress said with a hint of anger: "Okay, let's not adjust the salary! Then I will reward him with 10,000 taels of silver, should it be okay?"

It was the Minister of the Household who spoke first: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the reward silver comes from the national treasury and involves the national capital, so it cannot be used lightly! Lin Siye has no merit, and rashly rewarding it is inconsistent with the principles and laws! Please think twice!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Baiguan replied again.

The queen's chest heaved with anger.

She just wanted to compensate the only honest official in the dynasty, why is it so difficult?

You corrupt officials!

Sooner or later, I will kill you all!

"Okay, I don't need to use the money from the state treasury. It should be fine to use the money from the private treasury, right? This is my money, and I can give it to anyone I want!" The Empress said angrily.

"His Majesty……"

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

Baiguan looked at the empress's indifference, and shook their heads one after another.

A word popped up in my mind involuntarily: Dazed Jun!
