He Ran took a sip of the teacup, looked at him with a smile and said, "You and I have also been friends for many years, and we are the ministers of the same palace when I become the treasurer." ”

Tian Lu didn't know what he was going to say next, so he didn't dare to say more, so he replied, "Yes." ”

"I have besieged the palace twice, and my lords have been unwavering supporters."

Tian Lu said awe-inspiringly: "The military division is loyal, the world can be learned, brave the world's disapproval to desperately advise the soldiers to save the country in danger, the five bodies admired by the lower officials are thrown to the ground, the lower officials have no courage and courage of the military division, and nothing else can be done to stand and cheer, for the country and the king, even if the military division goes to the soup and fire, it is not unrelenting." ”

"Last time, I was blocked by Nan Song at the Yizhao border, and when the eldest princess broke through with a sword, you followed closely behind to escort her, I remember correctly."

Tian Lu said gratefully: "It's rare that the military advisor still pays attention to the subordinate in that situation, I don't know what the military advisor wants the subordinate to do when he mentions this, as long as he doesn't violate the law, Tian Lu will not hesitate to do it." ”

He Ran smiled and said, "I don't mention this because I want you to do anything for me, but because I want you to tell the truth." ”

"The military advisor is in charge of inquiry, and the subordinate will never dare to say half a lie."

He Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Then you tell me that since you became an official, you have been corrupt and bent the law." ”

Tian Lu watched He Ran's face gradually become ugly, lowered his head and hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

He Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Tian Lu coughed, looked up at He Ran again, and then spoke: "Xiaguan...... The subordinate officials used to accept money from their subordinates every year, which is not because the lower officials are greedy for money, but because the rules of officialdom are like this, if the lower officials do not accept these money, they will not be able to offer to their superiors, and it is not enough to rely on money. ”

"Why didn't you send me any money?" He Ran asked with a smile,

Tian Lu said with a bitter face: "Everyone knows that the military advisor doesn't like extravagance, and everyone knows that he is upright and not greedy for money. ”

He Ran smiled and said, "It seems that this financial road was cut off by myself. ”

Tian Lu couldn't laugh, lowered his head again, and whispered: "Since the implementation of the new policy, the property of officials has been limited, and this bad habit of officialdom has been gradually eliminated. ”

He Ran said slowly: "Your financial path was also cut off by me, which is also a reason why many officials resisted the new policy. ”

Tian Lu looked directly at him and said, "Xia Guan has a few words to say, but it is definitely not to avoid the crime. ”

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Tian Lu looked slightly excited and said: "The new deal cuts off the financial path of officials, the lower officials are very supportive, to speak from the heart, every time I receive money from my subordinates, I am uneasy, and I am ashamed to offer to the top, after the new policy put an end to this evil rule, the lower officials have a great sense of relief, I know that many officials have the same feelings as the lower officials. ”

He Ran smiled and said, "Then confess your guilt." ”

Tian Lu was silent for a while, and said: "The subordinate has also done one thing in violation of the law, and that is still when he was in charge of the criminal department, the nephew of the Marquis of Luoxia Mansion beat people's lives, and the Marquis of Luoxia personally found me to intercede, and the subordinate officials did not dare to judge the case impartially because of the power of the royal family." ”

He Ran tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers and pondered, "How did you judge, I seem to have heard a few words, but I didn't take it to heart at that time." ”

Tian Lu sighed and said: "I was sentenced to fight because of a dispute, killed someone by mistake, paid 100 taels of silver, 20 canes, and three years of hard labor. ”

He Ran nodded, as if he remembered something, "Is there anything else, people who have been in charge of the prison for many years will not only have these two disgraceful things, you had better not hide one thing, if you let people report it in the future, you will be guilty." ”

Tian Lu's fingers trembled involuntarily, and he struggled in his heart for a while, and finally said: "There is another thing, my cousin was sentenced by Anping City, and I was promoted at my behest, I should have been a very loyal and upright person, and he was like this before, but he did something wrong soon after he was promoted, and when I noticed it, he was already full of evil deeds, and I dismissed him from his post and did not pursue responsibility, this matter has always made me feel guilty, and now I am at peace when I say it, please transfer the subordinate officer to the Supervision Department for punishment." ”

He Ran glared and said sharply, "Is there anything else?" ”

Tian Lu shook his head, and said calmly: "Then there are small things, not being criminalized, and it is all before being promoted to the head of the department. ”

He Ran gently tapped a few cases with his hand, and said, "You have a reputation for being an official and fair, and Yi Guo has a very good reputation. ”

Tian Lu hung his head in shame and said in a lamented voice: "The minister has the great favor of the king, and the sin is unforgivable." ”

"You can confess your guilt, and it seems that you are remorseful."

Tian Lu said with a resolute expression: "If it is interrogated by someone else, the lower official may be able to deny it in every possible way, but in the face of the military advisor, the lower official is ashamed to do so, and would rather die for the new policy." ”

He Ran's expression softened, looked at him and said: "The reason why I mentioned the past at the beginning is to deliberately protect you, few officials are clean in your position, and the crimes you have committed are not forgivable, if you really have nothing to hide, then these things will be written off, never mention it again, try to do a good job of the aftermath, especially your cousin's case, I don't think anyone will impeach the rest." ”

Tian Lu looked at him in amazement, he couldn't believe his ears, the ruthlessness of the military division's punishment methods is well known, and he has no mercy for Kong Zong, the powerful general who was born and died together, not to mention anything else, just by covering up his cousin, he knew that he would definitely not be able to live,

He Ran patted him on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has had it, although your character is flawed, but the flaws are not hidden, it is rare for you to be like this, and you have supported me several times, this friendship cannot be missed." ”

Tian Lu had tears in his eyes, and he bowed his head and choked up: "The great grace of the military advisor Tian Lu will never forget, it's just ...... It's just that Tian Lu's sin is not forgiven, and he doesn't dare to tire the military division to bear the responsibility of favoritism, if the military advisor remembers the old feelings, he can give Tian Lu to commit suicide and cover up the evil deeds on his behalf, so Tian Lu is grateful, Tian Lu is ashamed of the king, and he is ashamed of the military division. ”

He Ran smiled: "I may be ashamed of the king, but I can't talk about it, and the responsibility for your crimes is all before I took power." ”

Tian Lu raised his head and said, "The matter of perverting the law to the nephew of the Marquis of Luoxia was after the military advisor took power. ”

He Ran looked at him approvingly and said: "I can see that you are truly repentant, the secretary of the criminal department must be a person who is upright, selfless and upright, you can deal with your cousin's affairs yourself, and you can enforce the law impartially without a shame in your heart, but you don't have to treat him for capital crimes, and exile for life." ”

Tian Lu said in fear: "The criminal has no shame to be in this position anymore." ”

He Ran said unhappily: "I helped you, you have to help me, if I cover up one and resign from the other, then I will have to do all the affairs alone." ”

Hearing that the military division's tone turned cordial, Tian Lu became more and more grateful, and said with tears in his eyes: "Tian Lu is hard to repay the great kindness of the military division, if the military division does not give up, Tian Lu will be loyal and conscientious in the future." ”

"That's what I want to hear, okay, don't cry and cry, the second-grade master should be a bit of a second-grade adult, if you really investigate the case and find me in the future, you will have to bend the law."

Tian Lu wiped away his tears and said solemnly: "If the head of the military advisor is found, the subordinate official will inevitably bend the law, and afterwards he will die to thank the king, I don't want to say this, if the military advisor feels that it is inappropriate, I will not do this official." ”

He Ran looked at him with a smile and said, "You can't compare to Ko Wei at this point. ”

Tian Lu said sincerely: "The lower official did not have this idea because of today's grace, the military division has the supreme merit in the country, even if it has been, it is enough to offset it, and there will be no great fault with the character of the military division." ”

He Ran waved his hand and said: "Don't mention this, from now on, you have to do it yourself, I can only save you once, if I bend the law, I will not be merciful, if there is a case that cannot be investigated and dare not be investigated, report it to me, and you can't go out of the matter of Luoxia Marquis again, understand." ”

Tian Lu said categorically: "In addition to the king, there is only one military division in the whole country, and the lower officials know that the fairness of the affairs of the headquarters is related to the people's will, and they will never dare to live up to the trust of the military division." ”

He Ran smiled with relief, got up and said: "Seeing that you are iron-hearted and don't care about me, it's okay, it's enough to have a Kou Wei, what we just said can only be known to you, and you must not enter the ears of a third person, I don't need to tell me about this." ”

Tian Lu stood up and bowed and said, "The lower officer understands, thank you for the grace of the reconstruction." ”

He Ran took two steps outward, stopped and advised: "Finish your cousin's matter as soon as possible, and then write to the king to ask for guilt, I will intercede for you, and the official will be demoted to one level to perform the Shangshu affair, and the fine will be one year, and the official will be reinstated after one year, which is good." ”

"Thank you, Strategist." Tian Lu's voice trembled, and his gratitude was overflowing,

He Ran smiled: "Let's live a hard life for a year, but don't take bribes because of the fine, so that you won't be unable to eat." ”

Tian Lu said embarrassedly: "The military advisor laughed, although the lower official does not have much money left, he can still survive for a year." ”

Out of the Criminal Department, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of He Ran's mouth after getting into the car, and he ordered: "Go to Dazaifu." ”

Su Ge looked unwelcome when he saw He Ran, and frowned: "Why are you here again." ”

He Ran pretended to pinch his fingers and calculated: "You have been resting for more than ten days, it's almost enough." ”

Su Ge said angrily: "You used to rest for months, and I have only been for more than ten days. ”

He Ran glared and said: "Can it be the same, I'm busy charging into battle, no matter how busy you are, you're just tired, and you don't have to worry about your life, or let's change, you will lead the troops next time you go to war, and I will definitely support you for a few months when you come back." ”

Su Ge was not interested in listening to his crooked entanglement, and said: "You have to get it, just say what you have to say, I will serve." ”

He Ran said seriously: "I don't dare to do this, it is the eldest princess who asks you to serve, she pities the old subjects, and thinks that they should also enjoy the benefits of the new policy, I have already told the king about this matter, the king said that you are familiar with this kind of thing, and I am ready to appoint you to take on this important responsibility, let me ask you if you are willing to go." ”

Su Ge snorted and said, "You should do a few fewer things in the future to fake the king's orders, so as not to give people a handle." ”

He Ran laughed and said: "Brother really doesn't rub sand in his eyes, so do you take this matter or not, if you don't pick me up, I will go to the palace to ask for the king's order." ”

Su Ge sighed helplessly, waved his hand like a fly, and said, "Go, go, go." ”

He Ran smiled indifferently: "So you took it, don't you don't know the hearts of good people, I specially left it to you for such things that win the hearts of the people." ”

Su Ge looked at him disdainfully and said: "I have to make people grateful to you, the more I look at your villainous face, the more annoying I become, go quickly." ”

He Ran said with a hippie smile: "I'll go, I'll go, no matter how you scold, you can take this matter, it's natural for the elder brother to scold the younger brother, I'll go back and scold Yunye for a while, I don't care about you, you can prepare well, but don't transfer too many people from various departments, they are all busy." ”

Su Ge really wanted to kick him out, but he couldn't help but want to laugh when he went back to scold Yunye, looking at his back shaking step by step, he really had a feeling of crying and laughing in his heart,
