Although he didn't know what Li Yalin's background was, Ernest didn't mind using a false position to please his allies. Anyway, it was just a matter of words for him.
At least at this moment, no one could find fault with his words.
"I see, Your Excellency Yalin is very insightful. The fact that you can think about it like this shows that you are indeed a young Shunsuke with great foresight."
Now, he finally had a chance to see it.
Let's put it this way, the illiteracy rate in this country is at least 70%. From this, we can know how low the education level of this country is.
For ordinary civilians, as long as they know how to farm and support themselves, it is enough. Learning knowledge is a completely untouchable luxury field for them.
Obviously, Li Yalin's answer was beyond Ernest's expectation. He even said that it made him stare at Li Yalin for a moment, as if to confirm whether he meant what he said.
After the pair of monarchs and ministers on the throne finished complimenting themselves, the emperor finally turned his eyes to Li Yalin.
"I am very sorry, Your Majesty. As Your Majesty said, I am a foreigner from China. I do not understand and adapt to the various etiquette of the empire. I am afraid of offending Your Majesty, so I have not been able to come to see you."
This guy…
"Since he is such a talented person, he should be used by the empire. What do you think, Minister Ernest?"
What's more, if you really become an official of the empire, you will be restricted everywhere, and it will be affected.
Ernest still attaches great importance to Esdeath's lover. He knows very well that Esdeath, as an iron-blooded female general, will not fall in love easily, but once she does, she will get out of hand.
Just as Li Yalin was recalling the empire's intelligence and sighing for it, the emperor spoke again.
Either he was given a free rein, or he was subject to checks and balances everywhere. With Ernest on top, it would be useless to do whatever he wanted, okay
"Your Majesty is right. General Esdeath's lover is naturally a member of our empire. Since he is a talent, he should be used by our empire."
"I'm very sorry. Before I came to the empire, I was still a student, and I didn't know anything about military affairs. If I were to be an official like this, there would definitely be many loopholes, which would affect the empire's prestige."
Therefore, the attitude of Li Yalin, who comes from a foreign country, will play a vital role in Esdeath. If possible, he should focus on making friends.
If Minister Ernest objects, his words will be in vain.
Hearing Li Yalin's explanation, the emperor above the throne also felt very comfortable. Was he afraid of conflicting with him, so he didn't come to see him? What a very good person.
So, even if he didn't think Ernest would break up with Esdeath, Li Yalin still had to make his answer precise.
So for Li Yalin, of course he also opened the door to convenience, and vowed that as long as he wanted any position, he could promise it at will, because this empire had already become his palace.
"You are General Esdeath's lover, right? Your name is Li Yalin? Are you from a country called China? I have wanted to meet you for a long time."
"So that's it. Yalin, you have thought very carefully. You can tell that you have received a very good education. What our empire lacks the most is talents like you."
As for waiting until the day we break up...
It's a pity that the so-called nobles are still in the minority with real conscience, so the defeat of the empire is also inseparable from this.
Sorry, they are not qualified to contact you at all.
This time, he sought Ernest's opinion again. He felt that General Esdeath's lover could also serve in the empire, but the specific situation had to be decided by Minister Ernest.
Of course he couldn't object!
Although he looks like a dead fat pig who only knows how to eat, he is surprisingly very capable...
What's Ernest's opinion
Li Yalin didn't even have to think about it, and refused directly without explanation.
Anyway, everyone has to carry the sedan chair. Before we break up, we still have to live in peace.
"General Esdeath, you are very discerning, and you are a very good lover."
So what's the point of being a bad official
It wasn't until a moment later that he finally withdrew his gaze, spoke with emotion, and then praised Esdeath.
Due to the perennial wars in the empire and various tyrannies in recent years, education in the empire has never been popularized.
It's just that refusing too bluntly is obviously going to offend people, so there is nothing to say. You can only express your rejection tactfully and say some nice things.
Hum, Li Yalin said that he was looking forward to it.
And he knows that that day is not too far away!
As for Li Yalin, as he said, he has been curious for a long time, but unfortunately, he has not been able to see him these days.
After all, you must know that one of the main reasons why Minister Ernest's criminal group is deeply entrenched in the empire is because he has the support of Esdeath.
Although he is just a puppet emperor, His Majesty's words cannot be treated with common sense. After all, there is a powerful minister beside him who controls the government. Once some of his words are over-interpreted, it will have unexpected effects. .
"I think Your Excellency Yalin is a talented person, and since he is General Esdeath's lover, he must also have extraordinary abilities. I just don't know what position Your Excellency Yalin wants to take, and what aspect of work he is better at?"
Be an official in the empire
Therefore, instead of becoming a small official, it is better to stay with Esdeath, which will make it easier to move and do anything.
"So I plan to study with Esdeath for a period of time. Through her, I can better understand the empire and find the direction I can work hard for. It will not be too late to serve as an official."
Although there are not without exceptions, such as Sayu, Iyeas, and Tazmi, they are literate because someone in the village taught them knowledge, but the problem is that even such exceptions are simply able to Just know some words, more advanced knowledge...
As the strongest general in the empire, Esdeath's influence is extremely huge. With her support, Ernest can be more unscrupulous, so he will not do such things to offend his allies.
In this case, only nobles can receive systematic education, and such people also occupy the middle and upper classes of the empire and are the pillars of the empire.
