Chapter 50 Hypocrite
Xie Ji saw that Xu Bin immediately rejected him without revealing his desire for Wanjin. He thought to himself that there was nothing detrimental to him. He just asked him to do a small thing for him. After the completion of the matter, there would be Wanjin.
Gold is available, so why should you hesitate?
Is it because the temptation is not strong enough?
"If you do the truth thing well, the truth will give you a chance to become an official in the imperial court, how about that?"
Money can't move you, but what about this? You have to know that being an official is a dream for many people these days. In the morning, you will be a farmer, and in the evening, you will ascend to the emperor's hall. That's how it is said. Scholars regard it as their ambition.
If you can learn literature and martial arts, you can join the emperor's family. If you can't become an official in the court, who will study hard for ten years?
Of course, because at this time, there were many traitors in the court, the road to the court through the imperial examination had been blocked, and those who passed the imperial examination had been divided up by those in the court, and they were blatantly divided.
As long as the candidates taking the imperial examination have no backers, even if they are talented in literature and knowledgeable, no matter how sharp and impressive their writing is, there is no chance of passing the examination. It is more likely that they will lose their reputation.
The imperial examinations were blatantly rigged, which basically blocked the opportunities for people at the bottom to move up. They could either get a position with the help of middle- and high-ranking officials, or they could only go back home to farm and become his farm servants.
But it is not easy to hug him on the thigh. More importantly, he wants to go home and become his farm boy.
Of course, in addition to the imperial examination route, as the prime minister of the current dynasty, he can still appoint scholars as his subordinate officials. At that time, he only needs to register his name and create a register. Of course, it is impossible for high-ranking officials.
Xie Ji, who is at the seventh rank and below, can be executed and appointed. This prime minister's power is really great. Compared with the aggrieved prime ministers we know in modern times, this power is really not ordinary.
Of course, there are limitations, and it is impossible to appoint officials endlessly. For an official position such as a county magistrate, it is best to talk to His Majesty.
After Xu Bin heard that Xie Ji wanted to give him a chance to be an official, he carefully analyzed what this traitor wanted to do? He actually did not hesitate to use his official position to seduce him, a scholar. What did he have that was worth his plans? He was just a scholar, a mere scholar.
An insignificant ordinary scholar.
This treacherous official must have some agenda, maybe to make himself collude with this treacherous official. That may be the case, yes, Xu Bin feels more and more like this.
Bah, you treacherous minister, you actually used fame and wealth to seduce me, an untainted scholar. Although I am only a scholar, I also understand what should be done and what should not be done. I am also very principled. If
I will never do it with you, a treacherous minister, who embezzles money and perverts the law, preying on the common people. This is his bottom line.
He wanted to be an official, but he wanted to win it based on his own strength. Using this method to get an official position was simply despised by the world.
He didn't even bother to do it, but Wan Zhong accepted it without arguing about etiquette. What does Wan Zhong do to me? Bah, treacherous minister, you use fame and fortune to tempt people to join in the same deeds with you, but not everyone cares about fame and fortune.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness. I don't expect high-ranking officials and generous salaries. I just want my daughter." Xu Bin declined the olive branch offered by Xie Ji. Did this treacherous minister think he was the same person as him?
Xie Ji was a little surprised. This person was not interested in becoming an official in the court? That shouldn't be the case. He didn't look like someone who didn't want to be an official!
But Xie Ji will not give up so easily. I am the Prime Minister of the dynasty. How can I be rejected by you, a scholar? Then I will lose face.
"Isn't ten thousand pieces of gold more important than a thousand pieces of gold? Isn't being an official more important than money? If you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are rich, you can help the world. Don't you want to do something for the world?" When it comes to national affairs, literati are always generous.
Exciting. This Xu Bin may be that if he directly talks about being an official, it would be too explicit. Those literati who pride themselves on not bending their backs for five buckets of rice may be despised by this. Maybe if he changes his mind, it will be fine.
.
When Xu Bin heard this, he wanted to ridicule Xie Ji. You said it nicely, but you are also benefiting the world. Damn, you are harming the world. You are so noble in treating what you have earned. Are you that noble?
To say that you are so noble when you are not that noble is really a hypocrite and a villain.
"I'm just an ordinary person who just wants to live a normal life, but I don't live such a wonderful life like the Prime Minister. What's more, I don't know conspiracy, I don't know how to play both sides, let alone flattery. I don't know how to take bribes and bend the law.
You are practicing favoritism and exploiting the common people. If you rush into the court in a daze, you will only be bruised and bruised. This will outweigh the gains and losses, so please let me go, Prime Minister."
After Xu Bin said this, he felt a little uneasy, but I thought I had already said it, so what else was he afraid of? He was already very courageous, so what words did he not dare to say?
"Insolent! Xu Shanmin, how dare you speak like this! It's fine that the previous family heads didn't care about you, but you actually went the extra mile, treating the family master's tolerance towards you as connivance, and wantonly slandering the family master. What are your intentions?
Do you still take the head of the family seriously? Do you still take the entire court seriously?"
After hearing Xu Bin's sarcastic words, Liu Shui was furious. It was simply unreasonable. What do you mean by not knowing the conspiracy, playing both sides, and flattering? Are you mocking the master of the house? It was simply unreasonable, and he said in front of the master, you
That's called being arrogant, being daring, not knowing the inferiority of others, committing crimes against the superiors, and despising the imperial court. Just what you just said is enough to get you killed.
After Xie Ji heard Xu Bin's words, could it mean that this person thought he was going to let him do those corrupt things?
"Do you think the truth made you take bribes and pervert the law and become the truth's lackey?" Xie Ji asked. Taking bribes and perverting the law is what the original person would do. He is a good person and would not do such a thing.
"No, what else?" Xu Bin saw that Xie Ji was not angry because of his disrespectful remarks. He was already prepared to be killed by this treacherous minister. Why was this treacherous minister not angry yet? This was a bit strange.
Science!
"When did the Prime Minister ask you to take bribes and bend the law? The Prime Minister just wants you to register the property that was robbed by the people. After all, you are from Changling County and are familiar with the customs and customs here."
"To prevent those people from exaggerating the figures unfairly, I asked you to help me register. What are you thinking, taking bribes and perverting the law? Even if the truth wants to take bribes and pervert the law, I don't dare to come to you. You are full of flaws, and the truth is still
I'm afraid that you will do something bad to me." Xie Ji was speechless. Even if he wanted to cultivate a loser, he would not dare to find a scholar like him. Just write a sample and it would be good if he didn't betray himself.
He thought that he wanted him to join in with him. Even if he knelt down to express his loyalty and allegiance to himself, he would not dare to accept it. As a pushy and pretentious person like him, I would even find him.
Even beggars dare not come to him.
"It's just that you just registered and didn't ask me to do anything else?" Xu Bin was surprised. He thought that he thought that this treacherous official wanted to force him to become his lackey, but that wasn't the case? He seemed to think too highly of himself.
Forget it. This treacherous minister has many people under his command. If he is corrupt and perverts the law, it will not be his turn.
"Otherwise?" Xie Ji asked, and he was surprised why he was so excited when he mentioned helping him. It turned out that he thought he was going to force him to become his own.
If there weren't too many things here, he was too busy to handle them, and there was no one under his command who could handle such things. They were all from outside, otherwise such a good thing would have been his turn.
"Since the Prime Minister has so much trust in me, I will not be too disrespectful and will definitely try my best to fulfill the Prime Minister's request." Xu Bin thought why not go for such a good thing. This is what the traitor said, and he wanted to pay for it, so he would
Let the traitor spill a mouthful of blood, let the people vent their anger, and then make the traitor feel heartbroken. This can be regarded as revenge for the people, and there will be tens of thousands of gold in return, so why not do it?
Xie Ji looked at Xu Bin and his expression changed really quickly, like a chameleon. It was so obvious that this scholar was obsessed with money. Isn't he that greedy for money?
"Liu Shui, give him the thousand gold first, and then give him the remaining nine thousand gold when the matter is completed." He is a man of his word, and he will not go back on his promises. Although he can't stand the scholar a little, but
I still won't break my promise.
"Home, head of the family..." The expression on his face was troubled.
"What's wrong?" Xie Ji asked, what happened.
"Only the last daughter is left here, and the rest are still in the Prime Minister's Mansion. That's all I have on hand now." Liu Shui said a little embarrassed. If he gave him the daughter, what would he do if he had to use the money later? This is strange.
He didn't bring enough silver when he went out.
"Give it to him." Xie Ji didn't hesitate at all. It's just a thousand gold coins, and he wouldn't break his promise just for this thousand gold coins.
He doesn't value external possessions like money so much now. After all, what he lacked the most in his original life was money. If he still cares about this huge sum of money, some people will inevitably say that he is stingy, narrow-minded, and short-sighted.
When Liu Shui heard Xie Ji's words, he felt a little depressed, but he still took out the thousand gold and gave it to Xu Bin, looking at Xu Bin with depressed eyes.
This Xu Bin is really lucky. The owner of the family didn't blame him and even asked Xu Bin to help. This is really lucky for him.
If you mess up what the head of the family has asked you to do, he will definitely not let the head of the family let you off easily.
"I have already given you a thousand gold coins. How many manpower do you need? I will send some officers and soldiers to assist you. Don't let me betray my trust in you."
"Since you spurn those who are corrupt and bend the law, then don't become the person you spurn." Xie Ji solemnly confessed, this Xu Bin, don't let me down, otherwise I won't be able to spare you. If I hadn't had no one now,
Will it be your turn?
