Chapter 383 Is the benefactor comparable to those ministers?
"Oh? What should I say?"
Lin Yiqiu's eyebrows flashed slightly.
Zhao Qi sighed helplessly.
"Although I'm just an Imperial Academy editor, there have been quite a few people trying to win over me in the past month."
"There are people from the Ministry of Officials, people from the Ministry of Works, people from the Ministry of Punishment, and people from the Prime Minister!"
"My dear friend, you don't know that just the night before, a boy sweeping the floor said he was here to see me on behalf of the prime minister, and he secretly gave me a few banknotes!"
There was a bit of joking in his tone, and Zhao Qi even laughed as he spoke.
Lin Yiqiu put down the teacup.
"Did you accept it?"
"My benefactor, I, Zhao Qi, am innocent, how can I accept such money? Even if the prime minister doesn't need me to do anything, I won't accept it!"
"What's more, I, Zhao Qi, am not a fool. He is trying to win me over, I can see it."
Zhao Qi quickly gave his own judgment.
His judgment was correct, Li Yan really wanted to win over him.
After all, he is the number one scholar this time. If he can be included in the lintel and drawn into his own camp, he will definitely increase his momentum in the court!
But Zhao Qi is a principled person, and he will not accept this kind of money.
When Lin Yiqiu heard this, he shook his head.
"You should accept it. It's not good to refuse."
"My benefactor, this..."
Zhao Qi was very surprised.
Lin Yiqiu's answer was completely contrary to his desire to be an innocent person.
However, Lin Yiqiu didn't wait for him to refute and continued to speak.
"A person with weaknesses is less likely to be targeted. If you appear to have no weaknesses and are too upright, they will destroy you if they don't get you!"
"Sometimes taking the initiative to expose your weaknesses, even if you are pretending to be weak, is a way to protect yourself!"
"Remember this sentence, it will be of great use to you in the officialdom in the future!"
Lin Yiqiu is giving Zhao Qi his first lesson.
If your strength is not strong enough, then you must expose your weaknesses and let the other party take it lightly!
Zhao Qi frowned and kept repeating Lin Yiqiu's previous words, as if he was feeling the truth behind them.
Lin Yiqiu continued to speak.
"This is the purpose of bringing you here, to let those officials know that you, Zhao Qi, are no different from them."
"Only by making them think this way can it help your future career, and only in this way can you pretend to be the same type of person as them and defeat them from the inside!"
"My benefactor is asking me to disguise myself so that I can break into their camp and help Da Gan in the future?"
Zhao Qi was unsure.
Lin Yiqiu nodded.
"Yes, that's exactly the case. This is why I value you."
Hearing this, Zhao Qi continued to sigh.
"I want to do this too, but now I am a small Hanlin editor, what can I do?"
"Don't worry, now I just want you to observe these officials in the Hanlin Academy from an internal perspective of the officialdom!"
"The position of Hanlin Editor will not only allow you to write articles, but also allow you to personally experience various interest disputes and various conspiracy methods in the officialdom!"
With that said, Lin Yiqiu stood up, and his eyes suddenly became deep.
"I am very responsible for the officials in the court now. With me and the Holy One here, they won't be able to cause any trouble!"
"But everywhere in Daqian, in the 320 cities in the 48 provinces, the officialdom there is more complicated! It also hides more conspiracies!"
"The reason why the Holy One and I selected you people is because you have the determination to change the internal affairs of the cadre! When the time comes, you will be the mainstay of my cadre!"
Turning his head, Lin Yiqiu's words carried great pressure.
This pressure soon made Zhao Qi feel an inexplicable heaviness.
Then, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Zhao Qi understands what my benefactor is thinking!"
"If Daqian needs us to make changes, then I, Zhao Qi, will never hesitate!"
"Well, this way you can live up to my expectations."
Lin Yiqiu nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he continued to tell Zhao Qi something.
"No matter where you are, always remember that without indifference, you will not be able to clarify your ambitions, and without tranquility, you will not be able to reach far!"
“Without indifference, there is no way to achieve clear aspirations! Without tranquility, there is no way to reach far!”
Zhao Qi kept mumbling!
This was something that had never appeared in any of the books he had read before! But it sounded like it made his whole mind wash away!
At this moment, facing the governor of the West Factory, he bowed respectfully again.
"Zhao Qi will remember the teachings of his benefactor!"
"Well, it's good to know, but remember, if one day you go against your true intentions and do something detrimental to Da Gan and the Holy One, I will personally kill you!"
"I can help you reach the top spot with one hand, and I can also save you from eternal disaster! Do you understand?"
Lin Yiqiu finally gave his own warning!
Zhao Qi had no other ideas at this time, so he naturally nodded one after another!
"Don't worry, my benefactor, I and I, Zhao Qi, will never let down Daqian! I will never let down the Holy One! I will never let down my benefactor!"
As if he was making a vow, Zhao Qi said in a very solemn tone.
Lin Yiqiu patted his shoulder, and the smile returned to his face again.
"Okay, it's time for me to go back."
"My dear friend, walk slowly."
Zhao Qi saw each other off all the way. When Lin Yiqiu left the alley, he was still standing at the door, watching Lin Yiqiu's retreating back.
After a while, Miss Zhaodi came out.
"His demeanor is very extraordinary..."
Although Miss Zhaodi is a brothel girl, she has a lot of ordinary knowledge.
Although she was not familiar with Lin Yiqiu, she could feel that Lin Yiqiu had a completely different temperament from other people!
It's a very sharp, but somewhat restrained feeling, a rebellious, but very principled feeling!
Zhao Qi nodded.
"My benefactor is the person your Majesty values the most! I still have a lot to learn!"
"Although my benefactor is an eunuch, in my opinion, Zhao Qi, no one in the civil and military dynasties can compare with him!"
This is not an exaggeration!
In Zhao Qi's eyes, the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty all had their own agendas, and they were simply not on the same level as Lin Yiqiu!
No wonder His Majesty values this eunuch! He is the only one who truly wants to do something great!
....
Perfume shop, it is already evening.
Lin Yiqiu walked slowly home. Before he reached the door of the store, he already saw the graceful figure.
He hurriedly walked up and said distressedly: "The autumn wind is a bit cold, why aren't you inside? What should you do if you catch a cold?"
"It's okay. I see you haven't come back yet, so I'm a little worried."
Wei Wanqiu smiled softly.
She is now nearly three months pregnant, and her belly is much bigger than before.
So much so that Lin Yiqiu didn't dare to hug her too hard for fear of scaring the child in her belly.
"I went to get a courtyard for Zhao Qi. He and Miss Zhaodi are in the capital. He can't continue to live in Wanhua Building, right?"
While talking, Lin Yiqiu and Wei Wanqiu entered the store.
After walking a few steps, he saw a jar of wine on the counter and an envelope next to it.
