Datang: Li Shimin eavesdropped on my heart

Chapter 101 Corrupt Official Chen Gensheng
"The cell head."

Chu Wang Li Kuan was drinking the bird's nest in his hand, and glanced at the jailer next to him.

The cell leader nodded immediately, looked at Li Yuanfang and explained, "Just now, Your Highness asked us a question."

"Oh!"

Li Yuanfang was very curious what question Li Kuan asked.

"What kind of question is it?"

The cell boss organized his language and said: "His Royal Highness Chu Wang's question is this, if I give you 100 taels of silver."

"How can you earn back 500 million taels of gold in two years?"

"hiss……"

"This……"

"What is the problem……"

"There is no solution to this problem at all!"

Hearing the question from the cell boss, Li Yuanfang reacted exactly like everyone else before him.

She stared at His Highness with wide eyes and said, "Your Highness, do you know the answer to this question?"

"This question is not because you are not joking with everyone!"

"This Great Tang, if there is anyone who can do it, it is only His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Oh……"

"No... not right."

"Even His Majesty the Emperor can't do it."

"Because the money is not considered His Majesty's, but the treasury's money."

"This……"

Hearing Li Yuanfang's words, he smiled without saying a word.

After he finished drinking the bird's nest in his hand, he returned the empty bowl to Li Yuanfang.

"Take it back to the kitchen!"

"This king has the answer to this question."

"This question is not unsolvable."

""Yuan Fang! "

"You can also join in and think about the answer to this question together."

"When you didn't come over, I once said this to the twenty listed prisoners."

"If anyone can answer this king's question, then this king will make him the richest man in this Tang Dynasty, and even in this world."

Finish speaking to Li Yuanfang.

He turned his head again, smiled at the prison boss and the jailers: "What this king said is also valid for you."

"All right."

"This king will give you a stick of incense time!"

"Within a stick of incense, whoever can answer it will satisfy me."

"Then from now on, he will be my king's man."

"Slightly fragrant."

As Li Kuan uttered these two words, someone would naturally light a stick of incense beside Li Kuan.

Li Yuanfang took the empty bowl in his hand.

Looking at these people in front of him, he thought to himself.

It is estimated that none of the people here can give His Highness Ye a satisfactory answer!

Even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can't do it.

Then Li Yuanfang shook his head and retreated.

The time for a stick of incense is neither long nor short.

Li Kuan can't just wait here for a stick of incense!

If this is a stick of incense, no one can answer the answer.

Then he was wasting a stick of incense time in vain, right?
The present time is very precious to him now.

So he pondered for a while.

Why not take the opportunity to select chess players who want to bring honor to the country?
Thinking of this, Li Kuan raised his head again, and his eyes swept over the faces of the twenty condemned prisoners in front of him one by one.

however.

Before he could explain to everyone the next chess player selection.

There was already a death row prisoner who took a step forward.

He knelt down towards Li Kuan and said, "Your Highness, the guilty minister has figured out the answer."

"It's just that I don't know if His Highness is satisfied with the guilty minister's answer."

"Oh!"

"I didn't expect someone to come up with the answer to the question so soon?"

"Not bad!"

Li Kuan glanced appreciatively at the condemned prisoner kneeling towards him.

Why does this person call himself a criminal?

What about sinners?

It seems that this person has also been an official!

really.

When he looked at the cell leader next to him.

The cell leader replied: "Your Highness."

"This man's name is Chen Gensheng, the number one scholar ten years ago."

"He was put on death row only last month for corruption and bribery."

"During the ten years he was an official, the amount of corruption and bribery was twice as much as that of the national treasury."

Hear the explanation from the cell leader.

Li Kuan couldn't help but think of his father, who had stolen the house of such a corrupt official.

It seems that I don't need to send money to my father anymore!

He smiled slightly.

Then he looked at Chen Gensheng who was still kneeling on the ground and said softly, "Get up and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chen Gensheng stood up from the ground, but he didn't speak.

Before he got Li Kuan's permission, he didn't even dare to fart.

Chen Gensheng used to be extremely arrogant.

After being sent to death row now.

Only then did he realize that during his ten years as an official, he was worse than a simple beast.

When he was in the cell, he hated himself very much.

I want to start a new life and be a good official.

however.

He knew that his idea came too late.

There is no chance of living in this life.

We can only wait for the next life to be a good person again!

but.

There is always a way out.

He never dreamed that in two days, he would be beheaded.

The opportunity is here.

So he must seize this opportunity.

Perform well in front of His Royal Highness Chu, and get the importance and appreciation of His Highness Chu.

"Chen Gensheng, you won't tell this king."

Li Kuan looked at Gang Cong on the ground with a mocking tone.

Standing up, Chen Gensheng said: "Using 100 taels of silver to turn it into 500 million taels of gold, the fastest way is to become a big corrupt official!"

"Or keep copying the houses of corrupt officials!"

Chen Gensheng smiled wryly.

Shaking his head, he replied, "Report to Your Highness, no."

"Sinner, I know I'm guilty."

"Although this method is feasible, the result is that the criminal minister's order is required!"

"I have been an official for ten years, criminal minister, I live in self-blame every day!"

"The guilty minister no longer has a home."

"Back then, the criminal's family members once advised him, but the criminal didn't listen to his family's advice..."

"Ten years ago, the criminal minister participated in the imperial examination and became the champion of the year."

"I almost became the prince's son-in-law..."

"However, the guilty minister did not become Chen Shimei at that time."

"Back then, the guilty minister still wanted to be an upright official, but a year later, the guilty minister was forced to become a corrupt official."

"You are not greedy for others, so there are countless people who want to pull you to be greedy."

"Only in this way can the guilty minister be able to integrate into the officialdom and be accepted by the officialdom..."

Hearing what Chen Gensheng said, Li Kuan subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Indeed!
This is officialdom.

Not to mention this era, even if it is the officialdom in the future, why not?

It is ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times harder to be an upright official than a corrupt one!

If all the upright officials in the Tang Dynasty were like this Chen Gensheng.

If you were forced to become a corrupt official.

So it is the people of Datang who are suffering!

Once the common people suffer, more people will raise the banner of resistance.

Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it.

It seems that the king is going to think of a way.

Think of a way another day, and write a proposal to change the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty to the emperor!

thought of here.

Then Li Kuan looked at Chen Gensheng and asked, "Chen Gensheng, that's it."

"Tell me now, give me the answer!"

"Okay, Your Highness."
