Chapter 274: Gratitude

The Prime Minister's Mansion gathered almost all the Beijing officials in the city today, and a small number of local officials came over to congratulate Lin Mingde on his birthday. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What Hou Xiaofeng said can really be said to be a rod to bring down a boatload of people, but few people really go to their hearts, because everyone thinks that Hou Xiaofeng was instructed to act on stage, and everyone is watching and guessing what his purpose is.

He interceded for Zhou Ning again, and kept saying that Zhou Ning was a good official, and most of everyone thought that he deliberately made enemies for Zhou Ning.

Looking at him like that, he also knows that he is by no means from a big family, will an ordinary person really say good things for an official?

No one will believe it, and if you want to say that the common people will scold the officials behind their backs, they all believe it. No matter whether it is a big official or a small official, as long as the official is dismissed, the common people will cheer and cheer.

The common people will sincerely plead for the officials, saying that they don't believe it. Crying like Hou Xiaofeng looks more and more like a fake, giving people the feeling that they have done a bit too much.

Lin Mingde was not afraid of making enemies for Zhou Ning, he asked Hou Xiaofeng to count Zhou Ning's benefits, that is, to let Zhou Ning, who had already shined brightly, once again shine with dazzling brilliance.

Zhou Ning has been in the limelight in the Prime Minister's Mansion and has had enough of grievances, and he has no hope for his future now. Lin Mingde's 'boom' completely showed his attitude, if you offend the prime minister, what kind of official should you be?

said that the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, and the higher the position, the more he can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from others. Zhou Ning has only one way to go, and he is willing to be obedient with a smile on his face.

However, this stubborn Zhou Ning did not choose to obey, but insisted on his own opinions again and again, and fulfilled the good intentions of the prime minister again and again.

Hou Xiaofeng knows better than anyone that he can't afford to offend people, he can't offend, and if he doesn't like people's wishes, it will cause a great storm.

Zhou Ning is so 'ignorant', Lin Mingde bluntly said that Zhou Ning's official uniform can only be borrowed from him to wear it for another day, and since then, Hou Xiaofeng has only thought that Zhou Ning is going to be dismissed, what can I do?

He was just secretly anxious for Zhou Ning in his heart, and he didn't have any way, and he didn't even have the courage to stand up and say a word for Zhou Ning, how could he speak on this occasion?

His Royal Highness asked him to go up to Xiangye to confide in him, he was surprised, happy and scared, surprised because he didn't expect him to get such an opportunity, and liked it because he could finally say a word for Zhou Ning, and fear was inevitable.

He completely forgot what he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion for, and as soon as he heard that Zhou Ning was going to be dismissed, his thoughts were all on Zhou Ning's body.

Xiangye asked him to talk about Zhou Ning's good intentions, and he remembered to talk about his own affairs. He didn't speak very coherently, and relying on Xiangye's patience, he was able to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

To put it simply, his father lent money to others, which caused his family to lose his firewood and rice, and after borrowing usury by mistake, he died in a hurry.

The focus is on what happened after meeting Zhou Ning, how Zhou Ning painted a fan for him, how he helped him see the account drawn by his father, and how he wrote a paper for him.

Painting a fan for him shows that Zhou Ning is a kind enough official; It can be seen that the account drawn by his father shows that Zhou Ning is a truly talented and learned official; Writing a statement for him shows that Zhou Ning is an upright official.

Only kind, capable, and upright officials can be called good officials, and what the common people need is such officials.

Unkind officials don't care about the lives of the people at all, they just blindly support themselves, this kind of person is an official for enjoyment, and promotion is for greater enjoyment.

What makes the people most helpless is not that no one pays attention to the complaints, nor that the officials completely ignore the demands of the people, but that the officials can only say 'sorry' to the people after doing their best.

An incompetent official is not what the people need, and an official must have the ability to solve problems for the people, and he can't do anything, what do you want to do as an official?

A sense of justice is the first element for officials to bear the brunt, and an official without a sense of justice can never be a good official. Using the authority in your hands to do mischief, that's a stream. People.

There were countless officials up and down the Dajing Dynasty, and only a handful of them could possess the good qualities of kindness, ability, and integrity.

The vast majority of kindness is still possessed, and everyone is born with a good heart, the difference is how much has been extinguished.

The vast majority of them are also capable, and each official is from a two-list jinshi, and all of them have been boiled out of more than ten years of hard study. There are large and small abilities, few are particularly prominent, and few are particularly incompetent.

The vast majority of people lack a sense of justice, everyone has nothing to do with themselves, and everyone believes in the dogma that 'more is better than less'.

There are too few people like Zhou Ning who are so nosy, and it is precisely because of this that Hou Xiaofeng engraved this heavy gratitude into his heart.

The hearts of men are so soft. The soft place is untouchable, Hou Xiaofeng has been forced by debts for so many years, and he has long been loveless.

If he could pay off his debts by death, he would definitely die without a second word. Whoever can help him lift this mountain down, he will really be grateful for it in the next life.

It only took Zhou Ning half a day to help him get enough money to repay the debt, and help him find out the person who owed him the money. As for those people who were quite unreasonable and raised prices indiscriminately, that was not something that Zhou Ning could control.

Now that he is in such a big trouble, he is really willing to use his life to save Zhou Ning's black yarn.

He had finished talking about the things before and after, and Lin Mingde didn't understand what he meant by running over and saying so much. Lin Mingde looked at the third prince and didn't speak, but his eyes were full of doubts.

The third prince smiled slightly, indicating that he understood, and he knew that Lin Mingde was asking, 'What do you mean by letting such a person tell me such a story?' ’。

The third prince didn't expect Hou Xiaofeng's expression skills to be so poor, so he asked him to sue, he told him a story, and he didn't even say what he wanted.

"Since he trusts Lord Zhou so much, why don't you hand over this case to Lord Zhou for questioning?" The third prince said this very easily, and it didn't sound like he had any scheming.

In fact, there is a lot of scheming in this, and it is okay to hand over the case to Zhou Ning for questioning, but where can Zhou Ning ask? Can I hear a case by standing on the side of the avenue?

If the case is really handed over to Zhou Ning, then he has to make room for him first, which is definitely not a trivial matter. Lin Mingde didn't have a way to agree, everyone knew that there were not many others in the capital now, but there were many empty yamen.
