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

"Winning two rounds in a row, I'm still the strongest!"

"One person for offering wine, completely hangs and beats all the talents in Dayan! One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men are not allowed!"

"The sacrificial wine is indeed a fairy in the sky!"

"I think as long as there is sacrificial wine, Wendou will be fine!"

……

Because they were so happy, many people sang and danced outside, singing "A Laugh From the Sea" by Lin Beifan.

"La la la~~"

"La la la~~"

In contrast, the Dayan delegation in the post house was gloomy.

When they set off from Dayan, they were full of vigor and ambition!

He thought that with his full of talent and learning, he would definitely be able to beat all the heroes in the battle of Yanwu and completely defeat Dawu's representative team!

Success and fame will spread far and wide, right now!

But reality gave them a slap in the face!

A single Lin Beifan knocked them down, making them lose so badly!

Lose flat!

It's embarrassing to lose!

That's horrible!

It's so miserable that they doubt life, and they are going to be autistic!

Listening to the singing from outside, they only felt that it was extremely harsh and uncomfortable.

At this time, the third prince of Dayan stood up and closed the window, looked at the dejected crowd, and sighed: "Tell me, what shall we do next for Wendou?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke first.

Today's two rounds of games took away their energy and spirit, and also took away their pride.

Feeling sad, I don't know how to speak.

"We must not lose!"

The third prince clenched his fists: "It's not that we can't lose, but we can't lose to Dawu! Our flames are rising day by day, but Dawu's is declining. We can't lose to a weak country!"

"Besides, we have sent the strongest lineup this time, and we have high hopes from the court and the people. We have no reason to lose! If we lose, how will we explain to His Majesty and the people of Liming when we go back?"

"Have you ever thought about your future?"

Everyone's complexion changed slightly, because it was really difficult to explain!

And if they lose, it will affect their future, which is absolutely unacceptable to them!

At this time, the third prince's tone was a little slower: "Everyone, my tone was a bit more serious just now! I have always believed that you are talented and learned. The reason why I lost today is because I underestimated my opponent and Lin Beifan!"

"However, no matter how powerful Lin Beifan is, he has only one person! He is indeed outstanding in piano and chess, but human talent is limited and time is limited. I don't believe it. He is also excellent in other aspects! Except Lin Beifan, will the others still be opponents?"

When everyone heard it, they immediately felt very reasonable.

No matter how awesome Lin Beifan is, it's impossible for him to be awesome in every aspect!

After all, he is only a human being, not a god!

At his age, to be able to play piano and chess to perfection is already very remarkable!

No other project could be as good!

"So, tomorrow's competition, we have a great chance of winning! So, everyone cheer up for me!" The third prince shouted: "Don't take today's competition to heart, go back and have a good sleep, recharge your batteries, Let's fight again tomorrow! Ben Gong believes that we will definitely win tomorrow! We will definitely win!"

Everyone finally cheered up.

"Your Highness, don't worry, tomorrow I will definitely do my best!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely win!"

"Nothing can defeat our Great Flames!"

……

The third prince nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! This is my talent in Dayan! Everyone, go back and have a good rest, and we will fight again tomorrow!"

The talented scholars said goodbye to the prince and went back to rest.

In the room, only the third prince and an old minister were left.

The third prince still looked at the leaving figures of the talents, and asked without turning his head: "My lord, we should win tomorrow, right?"

"To be honest, Your Highness, the situation is not optimistic!" The veteran smiled wryly.

"Why do you say that?" The third prince turned his head and asked, "We have 4 champion talents, and this palace has 5 more, so the strength is so strong! Although we failed today, it was not a crime of war, and we will definitely be able to turn the tide tomorrow." !"

"The old minister thought so before, but now he doesn't have the confidence!"

"Is it because of Lin Beifan?"

"That's right, it's him!" The veteran said seriously: "In today's battle, Lin Beifan defeated our talented man, the morale of the great warrior was greatly boosted, and our morale was greatly reduced! Therefore, in the competition tomorrow, the performance of the great warrior will definitely be three points stronger. Our side is three points weaker, the gap has been shortened, and it is not so easy for our side to win! The most terrifying thing is Lin Beifan, his talent and learning are astonishing as the stars in the sky! To defeat Dawu, Lin Beifan has to Great mountain to pass over!"

"` "No matter how strong he is, there is only one person!" said the third prince.

"It is true that he is alone, but who knows, what else is he capable of?" The veteran sighed: "We have never seen him play the piano, and we didn't know he could play the piano, but in the end he played "A Laugh from the Cang Hai"! We have never seen him play chess, and we didn't know he could play chess, but in the end, he defeated my young talent of Dayan with one against five!"

The third prince was silent and speechless, his heart was full of worries.

The veteran sighed again: "The next literary competition will include calligraphy and painting, as well as poems and songs! Needless to say, the poems and songs written by the other party have been passed down as classics and become popular all over the world! "

"The opponent's talents are definitely top-notch, and it's not easy for us to win! Poetry and poetry are also the big head of the literary battle. If we also lose in this aspect, then we will really lose!"

"So, after we go back, how do we explain to His Majesty and the people?"

The third prince clenched his fists and clenched his teeth.

This is his first external mission!

If the thing that was supposed to win goes wrong, the emperor father and all civil and military officials will definitely be very disappointed with him!

"Master Wang, in your opinion, what should we do?" The third prince asked humbly.

"It's not too late to make up for it now!" The veteran whispered, "His Royal Highness, have you forgotten? In fact, Lin Beifan is a member of our Great Yan! As long as we bribe him and let him release the water, we have a chance to win! "

The third prince was shocked: "What? Ask me to bribe him? No way! Absolutely no way! I will never agree!"

He looked down on Lin Beifan before, and was confident that with his talents and learning, as well as the luxurious team he brought from Dayan, he would definitely defeat Dawu, but he was slapped severely by the opponent, and the loss was terrible!

Now, ask him to put water on him!

He is a majestic prince!

How could a scholar with a top talent do such a thing?

What a shame to say it!

"Think twice, Your Highness, we can't afford to lose!"

The old minister said earnestly: "This is not just a battle of honor, it also involves your battle for the throne! If this matter fails, it will definitely disappoint His Majesty and the people, and the throne will be far away! Could it be that you just Do you want to be an idle prince? Even if you are willing, your brother may not be willing!"

The third prince's heart moved, and his face struggled.

The reason why he studied so hard and performed so hard, isn't it for the purpose of becoming the Ninth Five-Year Great Treasure?

If such a simple thing goes wrong, father will definitely be very disappointed with him!

Those of his brothers will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury!

In this way, he will be far away from the throne, which is something he cannot accept!

Compared with the throne, what is a little face?

The third prince gritted his teeth: "Master Wang, you are right, I will act according to your words!".

Chapter 194 It's hard for me to do things for you with this little money!

That night, an invitation letter with special symbols was passed into Lin's residence.

Lin Beifan opened it and smiled, "Now that I think of me, why did you go?"

This invitation letter is from Dayan. Although there is no special signature, 8% of it is from the third prince of Dayan.

It must be because I was in a hurry to lose today, so I had to contact him.

"It's not easy to be greedy for some money. If you don't beat you to shit, you don't even know how to give me money!"

Lin Beifan accepted the invitation and went out happily.

Came to a restaurant, entered a relatively secret room, saw the initiator of this invitation letter, it really was the third prince Yan Xinghe from Dayan.

"So it's His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Lin Beifan said with a smile, cupping his hands.

"Lin Jijiu, I have admired you for a long time! I have long heard that you are knowledgeable and talented, and today's performance has made my eyes shine, and I am amazed! Therefore, I specially invite you to come over today!" The third prince laughed.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness, I'm ashamed! I don't know what your Highness is looking for me for?" Lin Beifan asked.

"This... let's drink and eat food first, and we'll talk after drinking!"

"Alright!" Lin Beifan nodded.

After eating some side dishes and drinking some wine, Lin Beifan asked again: "Your Highness, the third prince, what do you mean you came to me? Please tell me straight up, the battle between Yan and Wu will continue tomorrow, I can't stay long, I have to go back to rest and prepare for the battle !"

"This... this... ahem..." The third prince looked shy and hesitated.

After all, he still needs face, and it is still very difficult for him to say these things.

The old official next to him saw it, took the words of the third prince, raised his glass and smiled and said: "Lin Jijiu, it looks like this! Our Highness led the team to Dawu to participate in the battle between Yan and Wu this time, and was entrusted by His Majesty and the people of Dayan." High hopes!"

"If the battle between Yan and Wu is lost, it will be very difficult to go back. So I hope you can properly release the water during the competition, so that we can win by chance. This is our little care, please accept it!"

With that said, he handed over a delicate little box.

Lin Beifan opened it and saw a total of 30 taels of silver notes.

"I also invite Lin Jijiu to complete the ceremony, I am very grateful!" The third prince cupped his hands.

Lin Beifan took out a banknote from the small box, and slapped it twice on his hand, the sound was very clear and pleasant.

This is not a small amount of money. With Lin Beifan's current official position, if he has worked hard in the court for a lifetime, the salary he earned may not even reach this amount.

However, Lin Beifan said with a embarrassed face: "Your Highness, I have seen your intentions! But to be honest, it is difficult for me to do things for you with this little money!"

The third prince and the old minister looked at each other, thinking to themselves that this person is really greedy, even 30 taels can't satisfy his appetite.

The third prince's face was gloomy, and the veteran asked, "Lin Jijiu, how much do you want?"

Lin Beifan raised a finger: "No matter how you say it, it will cost 100 million taels!"

The third prince and veteran: "Damn!"

One million taels, you are really open!

The veteran said in a deep voice: "Lin Jijiu, your request is a little too much! We just let you release the water, let us win by chance, and don't have to pay anything. Isn't 30 enough?"

"My lord Wang, you said it lightly!" Lin Beifan sneered: "Do you know how much I will lose if I lose the Yanwu Contest?"

"I would like to hear the details!" said the old minister.

"After today's events, my reputation is already at the top of the sky, and my reputation is spreading far and wide! Now is the time to make great strides and make further progress, but if I unfortunately lose the game, then my reputation will plummet and I will be reduced to laughing stock!"

"It's equivalent to sacrificing the reputation I have built up with great difficulty, and fulfilling your reputation!"

"As the saying goes, money is like dung, and reputation is worth a thousand gold!" Lin Beifan shouted: "I sacrificed my own reputation to fulfill your reputation, can it be that a mere 30 taels can make up for it?"

"This..." The third prince and the old minister looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Moreover, besides reputation, the future of this official is also affected!"

Lin Beifan threw down the bank note in his hand, poured wine and said: "These days, I have made many great contributions to the imperial court! Now the time is ripe, as long as you can win the Yanwu Controversy, Your Majesty's heart will be happy, All the officials are happy, the people are excited, and they will definitely be promoted to a higher level!"

"I am now a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. If I go up one level, I will be a third-rank official of the imperial court. I can be called an important official of the imperial court! Your Highness the third prince, Lord Wang, if it were you, I would be willing to pay for this mere 30 taels. Give up this great future?"

The two were shocked again: "Ah this..."

If it were them, they would definitely not want to!
