Chapter 39: The Prison County Lieutenant
"If you don't say this, I will be at ease when I drink this tea. But now...... That's it, today is a family feast, so let's not mention these things first. Yan Liben did not accept Di Renjie's tea, but said such a sentence without beginning or end.
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and did not turn around and sit down according to Yan Liben's instructions, but stood up straight and said: "As the envoy of Henan Province, it is a blessing for the people to have today's actions, and please don't be too harsh on yourself." ”
Di Renjie was right, but Yan Li thought more. However, thinking that what he thought in his heart was still too far away from Di Renjie, Yan Li didn't say much.
just nodded and said, "You're right, okay, at today's family banquet, no one is allowed to talk about business before leaving the table." ”
As long as he didn't open his mouth to mention business, Yan Luoyi and Di Renjie naturally wouldn't talk much. But Di Renjie is very boring, and he is not as good at chatting as Song Sansi.
So during this meal, a few people just said a few words, and the topic turned to the sages of the ages.
Fortunately, the three of them are all people who have read poetry and books, and chatting can be regarded as a relationship.
"I have long heard that Lord Yan is good at painting Taoist interpretations, character landscapes, and saddle horses, especially for Taoist figure paintings, and I don't know that the lower officials can have the opportunity to appreciate the paintings of adults." Chatting and chatting, Di Renjie shifted the topic from poetry books to paintings, but for some reason, after finishing speaking, his ears turned red.
Seeing Di Renjie's appearance, Yan Luo's heart was like a mirror, and he could guess with his toes, this must have been what Song Sansi forced Di Renjie to say.
What Yan Luo could see, Yan Liben could naturally guess. However, Yan Liben did not debunk it, but talked about the painting with Di Renjie with a smile.
Yan Li was originally a famous painter at the time, not to mention Di Renjie when talking about paintings, even Yan Luoyi, who had been exposed to it since childhood, couldn't interject.
The family banquet chat that was originally said to be good turned into Yan Liben's class in a blink of an eye. Yan Luoyi and Di Renjie glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
But helplessly, the two of them can only sit obediently, whether they can understand or not, they can still do it as students who listen carefully.
After a long while, it wasn't until Yan Liben's mouth was dry that he remembered that he had made the same old mistake again. He coughed lightly and said, "I've almost eaten it, so let people take things down." ”
As soon as Yan Luo knew that his father was going to talk to Di Renjie about business, he got up and went out and called someone to come and clean up. He wanted to take advantage of this time to find Song Sansi, but he didn't expect Liben to leave him behind.
"I am a painter, in my heart I have people who want to paint and people who don't want to paint, among the people I want to paint, there are very few people who have the impulse to paint at the first sight, and you are a very small number of people, people who have to paint."
"Uh......" Di Renjie didn't know what Yan Liben meant by this, and he didn't know how to answer at the moment.
"Hehe~" Yan Liben chuckled, and then said, "Do you know what the envoy does?" ”
"Dethronement means demotion or recall, and 陟 means promotion. On behalf of the Son of Heaven, the envoy of the deposed envoy went out to inspect the political achievements of the local officials...... "Although Di Renjie has just entered the officialdom, he is very clear about the existence of the deposed envoy.
Yan Liben nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I have already done today's dethronement. But this word is not too late. ”
When it came time to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, Di Renjie just hesitated in the blink of an eye, and then hurriedly said: "My lord, the county lord of the Wei clan is gone, and the lower official proposes that Li County Cheng temporarily take the post of county commander......
He didn't know what happened in the court later, if it wasn't hot, he shouldn't be stupid enough to kick Li Jiwen for an official.
I saw Yan Luoyi whispering beside him: "Master Di, don't worry, Lord Yan has his own decision in his heart, you just need to listen to your orders." ”
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled why Yan Luoyi was smiling a little happily.
But in a blink of an eye, he understood, and only heard Yan Liben say: "Di Renjie, this official is willing for you to temporarily take the position of county commander." ”
"The lower officials are unwilling!" Regarding Yan Liben's promotion, Di Renjie refused without hesitation, and even Yan Luoyi was stunned.
However, Yan Liben didn't seem surprised, but instead chuckled lightly and asked with a smile, "Why don't you want to?" ”
"The county order is the parent of a county. When Xia Guan first arrived in Weishi County, many things were not clear, and he did not dare to take on this heavy responsibility. It is more appropriate for Lord Li to be the county commander, and Lord Li has been in Weishi County for many years......"
Di Renjie really considered the problem from the perspective of the people, and in his mind, it was much better for a county official who was familiar with Weishi County to take over as the county commander than for him to be an outsider who was not familiar with the place.
"This official has already decided, and you will temporarily act as the county commander of Weishi County for this period of time." Di Renjie was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
However, Yan Liben's words were far from finished, "Luo Yi, you don't have anything to do during this time, why don't you stay in Weishi County as a county lieutenant and assist Di Renjie, what do you think?" ”
"No way!"
"Do as your lord commands."
Di Renjie and Yan Luoyi had completely different opinions on Yan Liben's arrangement.
I saw Di Renjie stand up and bow his hand, and said: "My lord, I have only been in the position of county lieutenant for a few days, and after reading the case files for a few days, how can I be the parent official of a county?" ”
Yan Liben just wanted to tell him about the county order, but Di Renjie continued: "As soon as I came here, I didn't know much about the affairs of the yamen. Second, the official ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Liben finally couldn't help but slap the table and said angrily: "As an official, looking forward and backward, afraid of the left and the right, I don't dare to take responsibility, what kind of system will I become!" ”
"If you don't have enough ability, you will be in trouble, do you dare to take responsibility? It's absolutely inappropriate! Di Renjie was still unwilling.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Yan Luoyi hurriedly grabbed Di Renjie and said, "Master Di, don't be anxious, and listen to what the adults have to say first." ”
"You're right, but you're really timid. Let me tell you this, when this official served as the deposed envoy of Henan Province, he was confused. Not to mention the political achievements of the magistrates, and even how to adjudicate cases, the officials are not very clear.
But do you know why this official should bear this burden?
First, it is because of the food of the king, and the worry of the king. Second, it is the official who has a heart. As the saying goes: There is nothing difficult in the world, only people who are afraid of it!
You Di Renjie have been studying for many years, although you have just entered the officialdom, you are better than being studious.
Moreover, this official deliberately left Luo Yi to assist you, if you still don't dare to take this responsibility, then this matter will be regarded as if the official never said it, you Di Renjie only continue to be your prison county lieutenant! ”
