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

Chapter 47: The Minister's Greed for Power, Love for Wealth, and Lust!

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing I would like to request."

Accompanying the old emperor and listening to his incessant ramblings, how could he find comfort in going back to his room and embracing the fragrant Long Sister?

Bai Yu really didn't want to work overtime.

He was ready to leave.

But before leaving, he seemed to think of something and bowed to Lan Su.

"Speak!"

Lan Su gave the annoying brat a disdainful look.

This guy was pretending to be clueless, and in the end, he didn't mention anything about the theory of governing the people mentioned in his exam paper.

Although he expected it, it still made him very unhappy.

"It's like this, in this exam, there is a woman among the candidates named Yao Yun."

"If she fails, I humbly request Your Majesty to show her mercy and let her pass."

Helping Lingbi become an official would be rewarded once successful.

It was just a matter of a word from the old emperor in front of him.

Bai Yu didn't know if Yao Yun could pass the exam, but it was always safer to take an extra precaution.

"Brat, what do you think this place is?!"

"A place specifically for favoritism and lawlessness?!"

This brat really had some nerve!

Thinking that the emperor would do things for you?

Who did he think he was?!

A wholesaler of official positions?

"Uh... isn't it? Your Majesty can't do it?"

"Taking a backdoor is still taking a backdoor, whether it's one or two."

"Your Majesty's power is supreme, so there shouldn't be a problem."

Bai Yu touched the back of his head and asked with some confusion.

Lan Su: #

So angry, so angry, so angry!

You have such a clever brain, and you use it to scheme against me and provoke me?

"Who is she? Do you like her?"

From the previous exam paper to today's meeting, Bai Yu has already left a deep impression in Lan Su's heart.

His position was very important, and he was already considered a minister who sought to save the world.

Helping him take another backdoor was naturally not a problem.

More importantly, he actually wanted to glimpse some of Bai Yu's traits, emotions... and other such information.

Bai Yu shook his head gently. "But we only met by chance. I only know her name, not who she really is!"

Lan Su: ...

You help her just because you met by chance?

If he believed that, that would be strange!

This brat never tells the truth!

"A graceful lady, a gentleman's ideal partner~"

"I do like her!"

"I like beautiful women!"

"Your Majesty, there's no need to test me. I can tell you," Bai Yu patted his chest as if he was proudly announcing something, "I am greedy for power, I love money, and I am lustful!"

Lan Su: ...

"One day, Your Majesty, I will definitely chop you, you little brat!"

"Can't you learn something good?"

"You don't have the qualities of a pillar of the nation, loyal and virtuous!"

He kept cursing at this little brat.

If he were to say these words in the court,

The spittle of the courtiers would drown him!

Still want to hold office?

Consider yourself lucky if I don't execute your entire family!

Who says it's terrifying to have no desires?

"May I ask, do you prefer ministers who are greedy for power, love money, and are lustful? Or ministers who have no desires, no ambitions, nothing to reward or balance?"

"I actually think that ministers like Bai Yu are the most perfect!"

The old emperor narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at this self-satisfied young man.

Unintentionally, this kid always manages to say a few thought-provoking words.

This talented individual, is he really only sixteen?

Such profound insights,

Many people who have spent their lives in the officialdom may not necessarily understand.

Self-deprecation is not always a bad thing!

Does he really think I don't know that some people are greedy and some people abuse their power?

All of that is not important!

What's important is whether these ministers can get things done! And whether they can be controlled!

"So, Your Majesty, if you want to reward me in the future, please don't be stingy!"

"Whether it's the power to reward power, the wealth to reward wealth, or the beauty to reward, I won't refuse!"

Bai Yu grinned and said to Lan Su.

Lan Su: ...

"Get lost!!"

"He's really getting on my nerves!"

Some rules are understood by everyone,

But when they are exposed so bluntly, it can still be unpleasant.

The old emperor slammed the table fiercely and said angrily,

"Hey!"

"Alright~"

"Your Majesty, please don't forget the matter I asked of you!"

"And... the Green Robe Guards should also report another matter to you. I hope you can handle it impartially and according to the law."

"Don't let any lawbreakers go unpunished!"

Bai Yu showed no panic in the face of the furious emperor.

Instead, he laughed and waved his hand, then ran away without looking back.
