(Thank you, the author will continue to work hard~)

The gift that Zheng Heng wanted to give had already been thought of earlier. It's just that she didn't expect to be able to send it out so soon.

Moreover, after more than three years, she doesn't know whether this gift is thick or thin.

Seeing Pei Ding's serious appearance, Zheng Heng unconsciously calmed down, and asked, "May I ask Senior Brother, what is the standard of a good official?"

In the past, when Zheng Heng was in Bingguo, he often asked himself such questions. Many ministers and Confucian ministers of the DPRK and China have given answers, but she is not very satisfied.

How would Pei Ding answer?

Pei Ding paused, he didn't expect such a question. - He immediately thought of Lu Qingzhi and Lu Xianyou.

Lu Qingzhi's obsession before his death was to be a good official. Lu Xianyou followed him in order to be a good official.

What are the criteria for a good official? Competence, clarity, and integrity?......

All of these are needed. However, the career is difficult and everyone is different, how can this standard be determined?

After thinking about it for a long time, he replied: "The standard of a good official is to reassure the court at the top, and let the common people be blessed." ”

Hearing this answer, Zheng Heng's eyes lit up.

Yes, Pei Ding is not wrong, a good official can reassure the court and make the common people blessed. However, it is too difficult to do this.

Those who reassure the court do not necessarily have the heart to seek benefits for the common people, and those who have the will to work for the common people may not necessarily be valued by the court.

It is not easy to be a good official!

If Pei Ding is out of office. How can you reassure the imperial court and bless the common people? -- Zheng Heng is looking forward to it.

She smiled and said, "My teacher once said a sentence: keep your heart right. Insidious means. I wonder what Senior Brother thinks of this?"

At this time, Pei Ding could see what Zheng Heng meant. She seems to be telling me what Wei Junxiang has learned, is this a gift from Miss Zheng?

first asked about the standard of a good official, and then there was this sentence, is this what Wei Junxiang wants?

With a righteous heart, resort to insidious means......

These words sound a little harsh to others at first glance, but Pei Ding can't say how hard he has disciplined the juniors of the Pei family over the years. I have a lot of experience with the word "insidious".

When he heard this, he suddenly felt that it made sense. Didn't he do that in the past?

He is in charge of the main hall. That's it. The Governor Zhengtang is a means of punishment to guide the younger generations of the Pei family to righteousness, and various means are indispensable.

Although the junior of the Pei family has a lot of problems now, it has not wilted from the roots. Doesn't that show the accuracy of this statement?

I thought about it. He said with a straight face: "My teacher once said that the Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows, so he is compassionate to the six realms, and the Vajra is angry, so he surrenders to the four demons. These words are similar to Mr. Wei's meaning, except that Mr. Wei said ...... To put it more bluntly, I think it makes a lot of sense. ”

His teacher Wang Mo is also a man of temperament, and Pei Ding has been with him for the longest time and has received the most teachings from him. This lowered his eyebrows and glared angrily. It was the teacher who sighed at the officialdom.

Carefully speaking, officialdom is a cultivation for individuals. He was in this cultivation. How can we uphold the sincerity of the Pei family?

The officialdom is treacherous, and the courtiers are loyal and treacherous, since he plans to wade into the troubled waters this time, what should he do?

Pei Ding has been thinking about these questions, and he doesn't want to be torn to pieces just after he comes out.

Now, Miss Zheng's words of "keeping the right heart and doing insidious means" and the two sentences that the teacher said back then intersected in Pei Ding's mind, which seemed to open a way for him.

A road that has not yet been cleared but is faintly visible.

Zheng Heng picked up the teacup and nodded approvingly. Yes, she also thinks that the teacher's words are very reasonable.

Integrity is more important than anything else, and insidious means are only used against officials who are equally insidious.

The dynasty needs honest and virtuous officials, but it is a pity that there are many treacherous ministers in the court.

And these treacherous ministers, I don't know how much higher than the upright officials, don't wait for the upright officials to be loyal and do their best, they have been turned into scum by their opponents in seconds.

It's not that the opponent is too strong, it's that your own side is too weak. -- This situation made Zheng Heng really sad.

It is rare that the Pei family, who is the first in Hedong, has figured out that she, as the queen mother of Zeng Bingguo, always has to be reminded.

She continued to ask: "There are virtuous and foolish people in the court, and there are more loyal and traitorous people. There are ministers like Meng Ruitu who go to death, there are also corrupt officials like Lu Qingzhi, and powerful ministers like Lu Guanzhi, and maybe there are many flattering ministers. And among these people, how can we find the loyal and the treacherous?"

She was asking Pei Ding, and she was also asking herself.

In the past, she was high up in the sky, looking down at the courtiers, thinking about how to make the courtiers loyal;

Now that she has changed her identity and perspective, when she looks at the officials in the DPRK and China, it is different. What she thinks about is how to make the court officials do their best;

If the country declines, it will be a first-class matter to let the officials do their best.

Pei Ding's mind was still immersed in what Wei Junxiang said, and he didn't have much thought about Zheng Heng's words of loyalty and treachery.

He replied slightly: "Such a thing as a traitor is done by the king, and I haven't thought about it yet. But I think that the Lord of the Way does not seek a clean official, and the rest is the same. Virtuous, foolish, loyal and treacherous, it can be seen overnight, and there are thousands of comments on merits and demerits. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Ding's face was a little strange.

He thought of his expression "Qianqiu", which was really a bit too big, Miss Zheng wouldn't think he was an arrogant person, right?

At this time, he didn't know why he cared about Zheng Heng's perception, and Zheng Heng didn't think about Pei Ding's words at all!

She was just surprised by Pei Ding's conciseness, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, the virtuous, foolish, loyal, and traitorous, I can't see it for a while." The merits and demerits are left and the thousand autumns are detailed. ”

"......" Pei Ding's face was embarrassed, thinking that he must not say it or something.

After a while, Pei Dingcai solemnized his face and said, "Thank you Miss Zheng for the gift, I remember this sentence, and thank you Mr. Wei." ”

Now, it was Zheng Heng's turn to be confused: her gift hadn't been given out yet, what was Pei Ding thanking? He wouldn't think that her gift was the teacher's words, right?

It seems that the Pei family is easily satisfied......

So, she smiled and said, "Senior brother, the gift I want to give is not this sentence, but to remind senior brother that he cares about a few people." ”

“...... May I ask who are them?" Pei Ding asked, holding up his teacup to hide his discomfort slightly.

When Zheng Heng said this, he must be a person from the court. Previously, in the secret chess of the Empress Dowager Li Ping, she reminded herself to go to find Yu Sanwei. Who will it be this time?

Now that the three families in the DPRK and China are the largest, will they be the people of the Ye, Wang, and Xie families?
