Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 44: Is it not good to deceive men and dominate women happily and carefree?

"You!"

Facing the burning gaze of the young man,

Listening to his confident words,

Lansu knew that he couldn't argue with him anymore, nor could he control him. He waved his hand lightly.

"Ah... forget it!"

"Not bad, kid!"

Finally, he softened.

What Bai Yu said actually had premises.

That is, the country owes him, the king owes him.

If they don't owe him?

Although it was beyond his control, Lansu was somewhat frightened by what Bai Yu had just said.

But Lansu still breathed a sigh of relief and tried to control his emotions.

Calming down, he said to Bai Yu, "I can't argue with you, you win!"

But he didn't mention anything about belittling or controlling Bai Yu.

He was certainly not a fool, nor did he need to take the most extreme path.

Just now, the tension was just to completely suppress the momentum of Bai Yu, to completely control him.

Facing such a talented minister,

The king's desire for control could not be satisfied, which made him lose control.

Does he dislike Bai Yu?

Not at all!

On the contrary, he admired this rare genius in a thousand years.

Intelligence, courage, magnanimity, talent, and thoughts...

Everything about him is unparalleled in the world!

Lansu had never seen such a person before!

If the other party really wanted to serve the country as an official?

With such great talent, he could truly save the country from crisis!

Moreover,

The dynasty has been established for hundreds of years,

The court is already full of hidden currents and complexities, and the king's power is gradually declining,

Not as powerful and invincible as the founding emperor.

The king needs a balance, not tyranny.

Naturally, he could accommodate such a person.

If he couldn't control him, then so be it.

He could try a different approach.

"Hey!"

"Your Majesty, this humble scholar was just speaking nonsense and joking with you!"

"Haha, don't take it seriously."

"This humble scholar doesn't have that much ability~"

Everything was just a hypothesis.

Seeing Lansu's momentum dissipate,

Bai Yu also smiled and returned to his usual carefree and frivolous appearance.

He playfully said to Lansu.

Lansu:...

Do you believe what you just said?

Looking at this smiling young man, Lansu was also speechless.

Finally, this person showed an expression that belonged to his age.

"Do you really come here for fame and fortune?"

Without any ulterior motives?

If such a person had malicious intentions,

That would truly be a huge trouble.

Lansu doesn't know if Bai Yu will give him a sincere answer.

But he can see.

"Your Majesty, on the day of the imperial examination, countless carps leap through the Dragon Gate. Why do they do it if not for fame and success?"

Looking into the eyes of the old emperor, Bai Yu knew what he was thinking.

Speaking logically, who wouldn't want to be the emperor? Always suspecting this person and that person... isn't it tiring?

Bai Yu chuckled lightly, "Your Majesty, please don't test me anymore! I came to the capital to take the imperial examination only to seek an official position!"

"My highest aspiration is to become a corrupt official with power. That's enough for me."

"I don't have any ambitions to dominate the world!"

"The purpose of writing that article was simply to get your attention, so that I can be promoted faster in the future!"

Indeed, that article that shocked Lansu. It was just Bai Yu's way of attracting the emperor's attention and advancing his own career faster.

It may sound ridiculous, but that was indeed Bai Yu's goal.

What's the point of writing a perfectly scored essay?

Scoring full marks in the college entrance examination and entering a prestigious university may give one a higher starting point.

But it doesn't guarantee a smooth journey in the workplace.

However, if one can immediately catch the attention of the highest leader, then the future path will surely be smooth.

After learning that Longzhi could protect him, Bai Yu let himself go a bit.

He would write in a way that would astonish the emperor's eyes.

Now that he had entered the palace and stood before the old emperor, his goal had been achieved.

In this chaotic era of warlords, if a powerful lord were to read this article, they would surely treat him as an honored guest.

Now that the country is at peace, if the emperor is exceptionally talented and wise, he would still use him.

If the emperor is slightly lacking and feels unable to control him, he may want to kill him.

If the emperor is incompetent and not worthy of Bai Yu's company, he will ignore him.

Now it seems that Lansu is also qualified.

Lansu: ...

I don't know where to start criticizing!

Do you want to be a corrupt official?

I am the emperor!

Is it appropriate for you to say this in front of me?

Writing this shocking and vulgar article is just to attract my attention and get promoted faster?

If you say this to those revolutionary thinkers,

It will only attract hatred and show off! Have you no shame?

You, little brat, are really straightforward.

Bai Yu's directness actually left Lansu at a loss.

However, Lansu can tell that these words from Bai Yu should be sincere.

Otherwise,

If the other party is so cunning and talented,

If he was deceived and calculated by him, Lansu would have accepted it.

"Don't think that your position is like a treasure that everyone wants!"

Bai Yu shrugged, his words full of disdain, without any respect.

"What's the point of being an emperor?"

"Everyone watches you, everyone schemes against you, everyone deceives you."

"If you don't do well, indulge in luxury and debauchery, then you may have a happy life, but history and people all over the world will curse you."

"If you do well... like you, working overtime until late at night, are you tired?"

"I have wealth and power, happily bullying men and dominating women, isn't that a good life?"
