Chapter 436: Pedantic Man

"Oh? What is it? Yan Chujing raised his eyebrows.

After listening to it for a long time, I finally talked about the shortcomings of the prefect. He wants to see what is wrong with the prefect of Xu!

At that time, Zhizhou commented that Xu Ruxuan was good at everything, but he was too rigid in his actions, and he liked to follow the rules and regulations. Even if the rules and regulations are not convenient enough, he still has to follow them.

At best, he is following the rules, but to put it bluntly, he is pedantic and does not know how to be flexible.

"But this bad habit is not a big problem for the county order. Besides, it is not a bad thing that there is no rule and that there is a standard for everything.

"Yes, although Zhizhou was dissatisfied at that time, he was still optimistic about Xu Ruxuan.

"Later..."

Little by little, the servant of the Ministry of Officials told Xu Ruxuan's experience, how he was promoted, what good luck he had along the way, and what nobles he met, including what political achievements he created during his tenure.

Yan Chujing listened patiently, and he roughly understood what kind of official Xu Ruxuan was.

This Xu Governor does not have much talent, nor does he have any major achievements that are admirable enough to make him famous for a hundred years, and the reason why he was able to sit in the position of the prefect when he was nearly half a hundred years old is completely due to his steady progress and good luck.

Moreover, he has no major problems, but there are many small problems.

For example, being pedantic and inflexible, everything is done step by step, which is his biggest problem!

Yan Chujing's fingertips tapped the armrest of the dragon chair, and carefully recalled the memories related to Xu Ruxuan in his mind.

Think about it. There is nothing wrong with what the servant said.

In his memory, this Xu Ruxuan is also an honest man who made a big mistake and did not have great achievements, and only sought the word "stability" for everything.

Such people are common in officialdom, and there is no big deal in this regard.

However, when such a character encounters a flood, it seems a little weird.

Since he is an honest man who seeks stability in everything and does not dare to advance or retreat, how did he blindly handle all the important things explained by the above, and finally poke a big basket out?

With his character, even if he doesn't do it well, he won't make a mess and cause hundreds of people to be displaced, or even die, right?

"I see." Yan Chujing was secretly pondering in his heart, and said lightly, "Although Governor Xu is not a talent, his position as a prefect is not obtained by some improper means.

"Well, you're right in the general direction."

"But—" he said, and after a pause, he continued: "He is his own business, and the conduct of the magistrates under his command is another matter." ”

"Your Majesty, that's the minister..."The servant of the Ministry of Officials said in a low voice, carefully exploring the meaning of Yan Chujing.

Although he was a servant of the ministry, it was impossible for him to memorize the experience of every official in various places.

If His Majesty feels that there is a problem with the local officials in Pingxing, then he should go to the local prefect and governor. And he, as long as His Majesty feels that he knows enough about Xu Ruxuan, he should let him go.

The servant moved his knees uncomfortably, a hint of anticipation on his painful face.

The floor of the Fengtian Temple was all paved with marble, and the hard stone made it uncomfortable to kneel.

At this moment, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He only hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would approve his answer as soon as possible and let him get up.
