Chapter 2 What are you remembering? Holding a grudge

Hurry, hurry, if you do not know what mistakes I have made, you may come to consult me, I will not charge you a fee for revisions

It seems that there are still few sycophants in this world. Only those who believe I am right have contributed this little bit of points.

On the way from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Personnel, Ning Chen also took the opportunity to check his current points.

Right Minister was nearly choked by Ning Chen, almost passing out; fortunately, the Censor beside him supported him, otherwise, falling down like that would not be a trivial matter

After saying these two sentences, Ning Chen walked away without looking back

"Ning Chen, I must present a memorial to His Majesty, impeaching you, this disrespectful wretch who shows no regard for your superiors," the censor said with righteous indignation and a powerful tone.

Looking at this exaggerated score, Ning Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud

Talent: 9 (This is the highest talent)

Ning Chen, a time traveler, is here engaging in pointless discussions with you

Ning Chen's three words, however, are more lethal than the previous grudge

If one does not have ginseng oneself, then one can be considered a sycophant

You ... ... you ... ..." The runner-up who was rebuffed was also so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time

Hearing that someone was finally going to participate in their own affairs, Ning Chen instead felt amused

This group of Hanlin scholars are all future great talents, preparing to confront the emperor at the Board of Punishments in the future

Now that he has finally grasped Ning Chen's Achilles' heel, how could he possibly let it go

"Oh, that's not right. As a sycophant, why should I spend my own money"

This group of Hanlin scholars should be provoked; whether to provoke or not, they should be provoked. If they are provoked, where do their own sycophantic points come from

Name: Ning Chen

Of course, it is the kind that Ning Chen knows the name of; for those whose names he does not know, Ning Chen directly drew a small portrait for them. The focus of the drawing was mainly on key features, such as one having a ruddy nose, another having prominent ears, and yet another having a face full of acne marks.

Previously, Ning Chen had been making steady progress without allowing him to seize any opportunities

Bear a grudge

After finishing speaking, Ning Chen raised his head and continued, "You all carry on, I still have plenty of paper here."

After successfully completing the formalities at the Ministry of Personnel, Ning Chen had just exited when a plump man, dressed like a display rack for gold, silver, and jade ornaments, approached him with a beaming smile.

The combat effectiveness of this group of young scholars is significantly higher than that of those seasoned bureaucrats in the officialdom

Ning Chen does not currently care about cultivation and talent; first, he must ensure his survival before he can consider matters of talent and cultivation

According to a one to one hundred settlement, that amounts to over a million. At that time, it is not to say one will live for a thousand years, but living to a hundred years is certainly not a problem

Wasting time with these old fellows is simply not worth it

Crossing the Jinshui Bridge with ease, I returned to my official residence in the Hanlin Academy

Cultivation: None

Ning Chen could tell at a glance what the other party was there for, and now Ning Chen was indeed in need of such a supporting role

Do you not know shame

"Ning Chen, you truly disgrace the role of a minister. You watch as the emperor acts against the will of the people, yet you assist him in his tyranny. I am truly ashamed to serve alongside you!" The second place candidate, who was contemporaneous with Ning Chen, became the vanguard in the campaign against him

However, they all looked at Ning Chen with a distinctly unfriendly expression

As he passed through these Hanlin scholars, Ning Chen turned back with a cold smile and said, "Heh, is this all there is."

Today you treat me with indifference, tomorrow I will make you unattainable

Ning Chen's expression turned serious: "Why go to the back alley? We are upright and aboveboard. Going to the back alley makes it seem as if we are trying to engage in corruption and misconduct. Bring the car to the front; I will get in at the front door. Let everyone see how upright I am."

No more words? No more words, just let it be. I am in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Personnel to handle the procedures for my appointment

In fact, these Hanlin scholars are not the kind of people who are truly lacking in intelligence

Race: Human

Loyalty: 134

Scoundrel, I cannot believe that someone like you has emerged among the Hanlin scholars.

You have truly wasted your time reading the works of the wise and virtuous

Ning Chen suddenly realized that when cultured people insult others, they do so in a surprisingly polite manner

Ning Chen could not be bothered to pay them any attention; he needed to return and carefully contemplate how to be a qualified, reasonable, and lawful sycophant in order to prolong his own life

Lifespan: Two months and twenty-nine days

Now those Hanlin scholars have all wilted at once

The suddenly discovered new feature caused Ning Chen to pause for a moment in place

Ning Chen needs to see who has provided him with loyalty; these individuals will become his good friends in the future

"It is indeed I, what business do you have with me?" Ning Chen said after a moment of consideration

Ning Chen looked at them, striding out with an air of arrogance, completely indifferent to his kin.

Even if this world is a high-end realm with martial arts, immortal paths, and Buddhism, Ning Chen does not believe that cultivating can extend his lifespan. Moreover, cultivation is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight, so points are crucial for Ning Chen.

Especially knowing that Ning Chen is currently favored by the divine

After looking at the name, Ning Chen leisurely made his way to the Ministry of Personnel, which did not stop him

In the original owner's room, Ning Chen also found a small bundle containing delicate items

Ning Chen looked at the current Right Minister and said, "If you are too ashamed to serve alongside me, then you may resign. Moreover, you have stated that I am the reincarnation of the Literary Star, so what I do is naturally in accordance with heavenly will. I follow this heavenly will, so how is it that it becomes unreasonable in your eyes?"

After all, they are from the same department; Ning Chen is the top scholar, and he is the second place. How could he possibly be convinced of this

You truly have money left, but the person is gone. What do you say you have been saving money for in such a miserable way

However, Ning Chen did not intend to argue with them

Upon opening the small bundle, Ning Chen also discovered that the original owner was quite wealthy

They certainly know that Ning Chen is currently favored, and if they really wanted to deal with them, it would be exceedingly easy.

Ning Chen cast a sidelong glance at the agitated young man and sneered, "Since you are ashamed to serve as an official alongside me, you may submit your resignation to His Majesty. I believe His Majesty will certainly grant you permission to return home in your old age. After all, you are not young anymore."

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Ning Chen naturally would not refuse anyone who came to him

Is it Lord Ning?

Wan Hong is indeed a well-informed person; it has only been a short while since the morning assembly adjourned, and he is already aware of the news

I will give you another of my famous sayings for free

When Ning Chen stepped out of his official residence, the Hanlin scholars who were not on duty were all watching him

You see how many sycophants there are, living their lives in misery.

Looking at this humble official residence, Ning Chen felt that the living conditions were truly inconsistent with his persona as a sycophant.

On the spot, two elderly Hanlin scholars fainted from anger

In fact, this is quite normal. From the perspective of historical dynasties, loyal ministers have always outnumbered treacherous ones. However, it is generally the case that treacherous ministers hold higher positions and possess greater destructive power

... ...

Having understood this point, Ning Chen directly slung the small bundle over his shoulder, intending to go to the Ministry of Personnel to complete a procedure, and then take up his post immediately

The small merchants of Wanli have gathered, Wan Hong. Upon hearing of your recent promotion, we have specially arranged a banquet at the Wan Hua Restaurant to congratulate you

You ... ... you ... ... shameless, shameless

The adult and the child have parked the carriage in the back alley. Please have the adult and the child proceed to the back alley to board the carriage

Is this person really so petty?

Therefore, they were still very polite in front of Ning Chen

If one is not sharp-minded, one cannot become a Hanlin scholar

but took out a small notebook and wrote down the names of each one of them

The current Right Minister looked at Ning Chen, who was impervious to reason, and could not help but frown deeply: "Ning Chen, as the top scholar, you are a manifestation of the Literary Star. You should understand principles, value ethics and moral order. It is shameful that you do not feel ashamed, but instead take pride in it, and remain so unrepentant..."

Oh, it turns out that one can still discern who provided the points, and can also see the attributes of the provided points. This is quite interesting, isn't it

flattery : 14384

I counted, and there are a total of one hundred and six taels

I am holding a grudge said Ning Chen lightly

The Ministry of Personnel interacts with officials on a daily basis, unlike the refined scholars of the Hanlin Academy

"What are you remembering?" Finally, someone noticed what Ning Chen was doing and couldn't help but ask curiously

If I were to be messed with by Ning Chen, it would be utterly not worth it

After Ning Chen finished speaking, the Hanlin who had besieged him also slowly stepped aside, creating a small opening.

The reason they besieged Ning Chen was merely for the sake of a reputation for being untainted.

Now it can only benefit me

Just after coming out of the main hall, the ministers began their bombardment of Ning Chen

Just come up and confront directly

What a shame to be a son, what a shame to be a son!

Suddenly, it was discovered that among them appeared such a scoundrel, how could they possibly be at ease
