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

If these two symptoms are improved, the strength of his army will definitely be improved.

"Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know, but please ask General Zhao to come over and ask, he is the person in charge of this matter!"

"Hurry up and declare General Zhao, enter the palace to have an audience!"

Soon after, General Zhao entered the palace with a tiger's footsteps.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"General Zhao is free!" the empress asked with concern: "I asked you to conduct experiments based on "Li's Medical Prescriptions". How is the situation now? Can the night blindness and beriberi of the soldiers improve?"

"Report to Your Majesty, according to your instructions, I selected 100 sick people from the army, and provided corresponding food according to the medical book, without interruption every day!"

General Zhao said loudly: "After two months of experiments, the night blindness and beriberi of the officers and soldiers have been greatly improved! Among them, 32 of the night blindness and beriberi were cured up to 34! Others, although not cured , but the situation has been greatly improved, and the symptoms have become milder!"

"This was completely unimaginable before, and the method recorded in medical books is indeed effective!"

General Zhao said overjoyedly: "Your Majesty, due to the short duration of the experiment, the number of cured patients is relatively small! Give me another two months, and I am very confident that more than half of the people will recover!"

"Good!" The Empress clapped her hands and said happily, "Since this method is effective, then implement it to the entire army!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" General Zhao shouted, and retreated.

There is no small matter in the military. This matter spread quickly, and the people were very surprised.

"The treatment methods for night blindness and beriberi recorded in "Li's Medical Prescriptions" are really effective?"

"Then can there be fakes? The court has secretly experimented for more than two months, and came to a very positive conclusion, so it is promoted by the whole army!"

"It seems that Lord Jijiu is really a doctor with excellent medical skills, and his method is effective!"

"The other treatment methods recorded in this medical book may also be true!"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the book "Li's Medical Prescriptions" became popular again.

At this time, a young gentleman dressed in luxurious clothes came to the street. Hearing the discussion of the people, he was very surprised: "I didn't expect that there is a cure for beriberi and night blindness! If this prescription is promoted, the army of Dawu will definitely improve. 1~2%! This is not good news for me!"

"Your Highness, think about it from another angle, if we pass this healing method back, you will have made a great contribution, Your Highness!" An old man behind laughed softly.

"That's right, it's a credit for nothing, don't want it for nothing!" The young master smiled: "However, what interests me even more is that Lin Beifan, the sacrificial wine who proposed this prescription! The number one champion who won triple prizes in a row, was highly valued by the empress at a young age, so he has been promoted step by step, jumping several ranks to become a sacrificial wine!"

"He invented the big balloon, the flying artifact, and the hovercraft, a sharp weapon on the water, which greatly enhanced Dawu's strength! Unexpectedly, he is actually a doctor, haha! It's really interesting!"

"That young man is really amazing!" The old man next to him said in admiration: "I heard that he is only less than 20 years old, but he has already flourished in the court! Talent is also rare, and he can especially write poems and lyrics. Published many classic poems and spread them all over the world! It may be our strongest opponent in this battle between Yan and Wu!"

"It is true that we should pay attention to it, but no matter how strong he is, there is only one!" The young gentleman smiled: "The talents we sent this time are the best group of talents since the founding of Dayan! Among them, the champion! If they are not good enough, there is me in this palace!"

Having said that, he stood proudly, with high spirits.

"What Your Highness said is very true!" The old man flattered: "Your Highness also has the talent of the champion! If it wasn't because of the royal status, he would have been nominated for the champion!"

The young man laughed out loud.

"Your Highness, this battle between Yanwu and Wu is a big matter, and there is no room for loss! Should we contact Dawu's internal response in advance, so that we have another chance to obtain relevant information about our opponent, and the chance of winning is greater!"

The young son's face became serious: "Who is that insider?"

"Actually, it's... Lin Beifan, Dawu's sacrificial wine!"

"It's actually him?" The young man was a little dumbfounded.

The young man I just praised is actually their internal response, what kind of trouble is this!

"Master Wang, you are not mistaken, how could it be him?"

The young man frowned: "According to what I know, Lin Beifan is very favored by the empress, so he was promoted every step of the way, and enjoyed endless glory and wealth! Such a person with a bright future has no reason to betray Dawu. How could he be our internal response?" ?”

The old man smiled wryly: "Your Highness, it is indeed him! Although the other party is very favored and has a bright future, he has one great characteristic, that is, he is greedy for money! It is precisely because of this that he was bribed by us!"

"Greedy? How greedy can he be?" the young man asked.

"Your Highness, let me tell you this, he leaked the manufacturing method of the big balloon and the hovercraft to us! In order to buy the manufacturing method of these two artifacts, we at Dayan paid a total of 800 million taels, at least He doesn't agree with one or two!" The old man said with some pain.

The young master gasped: "800 million taels! How greedy!"

Even if he is a prince, all his net worth can't compare to 1/3 of the other party's.

"And it is said that during his official career, he took advantage of his position to embezzle tens of millions of taels of silver! He even stole the money of other ministers! He is really greedy!"

The young man gasped again: "He has been greedy for tens of millions of taels! Isn't he afraid of losing his head if he is greedy for so much money?"

"To be honest, I don't know why he is so bold. Maybe it's because of the empress's favor! The Dawu court is corrupt to the bone! Your Highness, if we go to visit him, ask him for help. It may be necessary to prepare some more money!" The old man said again.

The corner of the young son's mouth twitched: "My lord, I think I don't want it! I don't have that much money to satisfy his appetite! And this time, I don't really need his help in this battle between Yan and Wu!"

"What Your Highness said is absolutely true!"

The two talked and laughed, and disappeared on the street.

Chapter 185 The battle between Yan and Wu, Lin Jijiu fights five?

In the Great Wu Dynasty Hall, after all the officials shouted their congratulatory speeches, the empress said straight to the point.

"The three-year Yanwu Contest 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 in a week to compete with the outstanding talents of our dynasty! Tang Aiqing, how are you preparing? "

Lin Beifan knew about this battle between Yan and Wu.

This is a competition jointly held by the Great Yan Dynasty and the Great Wu Dynasty, similar to the Olympic Games, and 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.

There is a difference between literary and martial arts, and what is compared in literary competitions is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, and what is compared in martial arts is naturally martial arts.

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

Moreover, it is also possible to demonstrate the abilities of the younger generations of the two countries through the competition.

The better the young people, the better the development of the country and the better the future will be, and it will play an inspiring and morale-boosting role.

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 Yanwu battle was held in the Yan Dynasty, and this time it is naturally Dawu's turn.

Zhao Jinli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came out, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, after several months of preparations, the venue for the Yanwu Contest has already been set up, and you can compete at any time, so don't worry, Your Majesty!"

"Okay! Then how to arrange the candidates?" The Empress is more concerned about this one.

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

There was a fine layer of sweat on the forehead of Mr. Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites: "First of all, it is Wendou. I have already found out that this time Dayan will send the most outstanding young talents in history! Their current imperial examinations are the top three and the second. No.1, all of them are under 25 years old, but they all have the talent of champion, they are known as the four sons of Dayan!"

Everyone gasped.

The top 4 in the imperial examination are all young people under the age of 25, and they all have the talents of the champion, which is really terrifying!

You know, many scholars have read books for more than 20 years, and they didn't get the number one exam until they were 40 or [-] years old.

Like them Dawu, it has been many years since there has been a champion under the age of 30.

That's why Lin Beifan's appearance caused such a sensation.

"In addition, there is also Dayan's leader, Yan Xinghe, the third prince of Dayan, who is also a erudite unicorn talent. He once participated in the imperial examination anonymously! He won two yuan in a row. If his identity was not revealed in the end, it might be another one The number one scholar in Lianzhong's Sanyuan, his talent and learning are not inferior to Lin Jijiu!"

Everyone gasped again!

This is the 5 champions!

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

Thinking about it, the odds are slim!

The Empress' face was gloomy: "Zhao Aiqing, what do you mean, we are doomed to lose Wen Dou?"

Zhao Jinli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, wiped off his sweat: "Your Majesty, we still have a great chance of winning! As the home game, we can formulate rules that are more favorable to us!"

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

"Your Majesty, we can adopt the form of a wheel battle. When one person falls, the other immediately catches up. As long as they don't all fall down, it is not considered a loss! Compared with our other talents, we are slightly inferior, but we have Lin Jijiu. As long as he can carry If we do everything, then we still have a chance of winning!" Master Zhao reported loudly.

It really became 1 to 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 the persuasion of all the officials, the empress finally let go: "It seems that we can only 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 was not worried at all.

He has the cultural wealth of another world, and he has 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 lose to others?

joke!

But the empress and the officials don't know!

The empress 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 fight for us!" The imperial court has made great achievements, and I will definitely reward you a lot! Dear friends, do you have any opinions?"

"I have no objection!" All the officials said in unison.

"Zhao Aiqing, how is the arrangement for fighting?" the Empress asked again.

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

"Why can't you do it in martial arts?" The empress was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the five young masters sent by Dayan this time all have cultivation bases above the fifth rank! Among them, there is one who is extremely talented and has reached the realm of the fourth rank, and is powerful! And the masters of our younger generation of Dawu Only three have reached the fifth rank, and the other two have reached the sixth rank!"

As he spoke, Master Zhao's voice became much quieter.

Dayan has 4 fifth-ranks and 1 fourth-rank, Dawu only has 3 fifth-ranks, and two sixth-ranks that are holding back!

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

One of the fourth ranks can wipe out Dawu completely!

The empress's chest heaved with anger: "Zhao Jinli, I have given you several months to prepare, and you just found these people? What use are these people? Are you deliberately making me laugh at Dawu?"

Zhao Shangshu smiled wryly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have searched all over the three armies, six gates, Jinyiwei and other institutions, and even the people in the Jianghu have not missed it. There is really no one to choose. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The empress was so angry that her face was gloomy, and finally turned into a powerless sigh.

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

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

The people are suffering, and there is no guarantee of interest.

Such a harsh environment cannot cultivate useful talents at all.

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

Like their Great Inflammation, it was the heyday, and talents emerged in endlessly.

Reminiscing 200 years ago, the same is true for their great martial arts. Talents have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. They are so powerful that they come to court from all directions, as if they have become the center of the world!

Now, everything is a thing of the past!

At this time, the Empress' eyes could not help but drift to Lin Beifan.

This guy is a hidden young master.

Even the famous Sword Immortal and Sword Master were easily abused by each other, so it shouldn't be a problem if he is involved.

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

"My love, what's your plan?"

Hundreds of officials looked at each other in blank dismay, the gap was too great, and none of the methods would work.

At this time, Lin Beifan stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

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