It is true that Weishi County has been looted by the Soviet Union in recent years. However, for such a long time, Di Renjie has not heard of any family in Weishi County who has no rice to live.

"Then what do you think of the officials in Bianzhou?"

"Corruption and perversion of the law are naturally not ......" Di Renjie thought so in his heart, but before the words came out, he felt that something was wrong. If it was just such a simple answer, there was no need for Yan Liben to put it forward.

Seeing Di Renjie deep in thought, Yan Liben had a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

However, Yan Liben did not wait too long. It was only after a while that he spoke: "This official hates the most in his life, do you know what kind of official?" ”

Hearing Yan Liben's words, Di Renjie raised his head and glanced at Yan Liben, and stopped talking.

"As an official, in addition to the court's fortunes, it is inevitable that there will be cases of receiving gifts during the New Year's holidays, which is not a great thing.

As the saying goes, people have short hands and short mouths. Officials accepted the boremonies, and naturally had to be convenient with people at certain times. It's not a big deal......

Hearing this, Di Renjie couldn't help but want to open his mouth to refute one or two.

But before he could speak, Yan Liben waved his hand and continued: "Don't worry, you can talk about it after the official finishes speaking."

There are two kinds of convenience with people. For example, the upper official recommends the lower official. Two subordinates are capable of promotion, so do you think there is a problem with Shangguan recommending subordinates who are closer to him? ”

Di Renjie thought about it, then nodded and said: "Although it is said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, but the lower officials still feel that it is a little inappropriate to do this, and it is inevitable that the lower officials will not choose to do so." ”

Such an answer surprised Yan Liben.

After a few more glances, he continued: "What you said is right, but this official thinks that since they are all talented, it is natural to choose one that is closer to him."

This is the first case. And the second situation is to put aside ability and only care about relationships. Such people are more hated than those who take bribes and do things with others. This kind of person is the official he hates the most! But whenever encountered, the official is never soft! ”

Di Renjie was surprised that Yan Liben's most hated person would be a person who bent the law for bribes, but he never expected it to be such an answer.

"Once, when the official was painting for the emperor, the saint told the official a word, and the official was puzzled. It wasn't until a few years later, after the Holy Lord ascended the throne, that he said the same thing to the official that the official understood.

The saint once said: There are countless people who have been corrupt and perverted the law. Officials, corruption is not a great thing. Therefore, there are records to participate in the military, only to observe the envoys, and only to have the inspector of the imperial history.

What you have to do is not only to wipe out all the moths in the imperial court, but more importantly, to remove the dross and extract its essence. ”

As soon as Yan Liben's words fell, Di Renjie immediately said, "My emperor is Shengming." "This is not necessarily a slap on the emperor's ass. In fact, being able to see things so clearly in the deep palace, the new emperor Li Zhi is indeed talented.

"For a long time, what this official didn't understand was to remove the dross and take the essence of these eight words." Yan Liben glanced at Di Renjie and said softly.

"Remove the dross and take the essence of it......" Di Renjie silently recited and fell into deep thought.

"Later, after this official was promoted to the observer of Henan Province, there was a time when I was investigating a corruption case.

The official suddenly understood. To get rid of the dross, it is the people who are indiscriminate among the officials and have no talent to get to the dross.

Take the essence of it, take those who have made mistakes, but are not unforgivable, and who have some talents and can benefit the people. ”

After listening to Yan Liben's explanation, Di Renjie still frowned and did not speak. After a long while, he asked, "How do you dare to ask your lordship to determine whether his sin is unforgivable?" ”

"Naturally, it is handled according to the law!" Faced with such a somewhat rude question, Yan Liben did not get angry, but answered Di Renjie's question categorically.

"Then how can you conclude that the lords of Bianzhou Mansion have not violated the law?"

Yan Liben looked at Di Renjie and suddenly smiled, the admiration on his face was unconcealed, and Di Renjie was a little embarrassed when he saw it.

"You forgot, this official is an observer of Henan Province." Yan Liben's answer was a little naughty, and Di Renjie was stunned again before he explained: "Although some things are a little early to tell you now, this official thinks it's okay for you to know now." ”

When Di Renjie was unprepared, Yan Li told him an amazing secret. That is, the subordinates of the Henan Provincial Observer have eyeliner in every yamen in Henan Province.

The eyeliner may be bright or dark, or an official, or a bad person, or even worse, just the inconspicuous servant, the peddler and pawn on the street.

Di Renjie blinked, "Who is the adult's eyeliner in Weishi County?" ”

"Hahahaha" Yan Liben smiled very happily, but he didn't tell Di Renjie the answer.

just smiled and said, "This time, do you believe that this official is not lying?" ”

As soon as the word lying came out, Di Renjie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Scratching his head, he said with some embarrassment: "Xia Guan is just a little puzzled, and he doesn't mean to doubt the adult." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand or doubt it. The important thing is that you have such an idea, you dare to ask, and that is the most important thing! ”

"Your Excellency has won the prize."

Yan Liben shook his head, "This official is a painter, and as a painter, this official has people who want to paint and people who don't want to paint in his heart. Ever since I saw you in Weishi County, I have felt that you are the person that the official wants to paint, and that you are a material that can be made. ”

was praised by Yan Liben continuously, Di Renjie didn't know what to say, so he could only scratch his head and say again: "My lord has won the award." ”

Yan Liben looked at Di Renjie and smiled, and asked, "Do you still have questions about the matter in Bianzhou?" ”

Di Renjie hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and still made up his mind to ask again: "My subordinates feel that such a decision of the adults is inevitably suspected of connivance. ”

"Oh? Do you think that if the official doesn't deal with them this time, it will make them even more arrogant and arrogant, right? ”

What Yan Liben said was exactly what Di Renjie was worried about.

At that moment, Di Renjie nodded without hesitation. frowned and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, and the lower officials are exactly so worried. ”

After speaking, Di Renjie felt that his attitude was a little inappropriate, so he added: "Of course, Xia Guan also knows that the adult's decision is reasonable. It's just that the lower officials are shallow in their studies, and some don't understand, so I want to ask adults to teach one or two. ”
