After all, Fan Zhongyan did not dare to tell the truth to Kou Ji. He smiled gently and said: "The lower official just doesn't understand, why the judge is a civil servant, so he mingled with martial arts such as Liu Heng and Cao Yu."
Fan Zhongyan's words were euphemistic, but Kou Ji could understand the deep meaning of his words.
Immediately, Kou Ji looked at him with a faint smile, and asked, "Do you want to ask, why does this official mess with a group of dudes?"
The smile on Fan Zhongyan's face froze, and he said dryly: "I don't dare to go under the official..."
Kou Ji shook his head and said quietly: "I thought you Fan Zhongyan was different, that's why I was the one who led you. I didn't expect you to be a layman."
Fan Zhongyan was taken aback, feeling a little unconvinced.
He was a middle-aged man who was only thirty years old and was despised by a sixteen-year-old boy. How could he bear it
Immediately, he said solemnly: "The lower official doesn't understand what the judge meant."
Kou Ji glanced at him, and said with his lips: "Then the officer will tell you about it?"
Fan Zhongyan straightened up, arched his hands, and solemnly said: "I wish to hear the details!"
He was going to listen to what Kou Ji could talk about.
Kou Ji stared at him and asked, "Who told you that Liu Heng and Cao Tong belonged to the dude?"
Fan Zhongyan was taken aback and murmured: "The people in the city of Bianjing..."
He seemed to feel that his performance was a bit unbearable, so he looked at Kou Ji again and said decisively: "The people's words can never be wrong."
Kou Ji laughed aloud: "This is the best joke I've heard this year. This official asks you, in the article "Guan Zi · Monarchs and Ministers", the sentence'Farewell to the people and listen to it is foolish, and listen to it together. Zesheng.' What do you mean?"
Hearing the words, Fan Zhongyan instantly understood what Kou Ji meant, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "If you listen, you will be dark while listening..."
Kou Ji said: "Yes, if you listen, you will be dark, and you will be clear if you listen. How can you conclude that Liu Heng and Cao Yi are the children of the dandy by relying on the words of the common people in Bianjing?"
Fan Zhongyan was not convinced, but there was no word.
Kou Ji continued: "The reason why you believe that Liu Heng and Cao Tong are dandies, apart from the rumors of the people in Bianjing, are more of your own problems.
You look down on the dudes in your heart, so every child from the martial arts family, you subconsciously regard them as dudes.
When some people came forward and said that they were dudes, you didn't tell the difference at all, and you just chose to obey the people's words.
But have you ever thought that what the people say may be a rumor
Could it be the incitement of someone with a heart
Of course, this is not your fault. Most civil servants think so. "
Fan Zhongyan was taken aback, opened his mouth, but could not speak.
Kou Ji did not let go of his meaning, and then said: "You are an official, the official of the Criminal Division, and the official of Qiangu in the world. If you blindly obey the people's words, it is easy to lose justice.
Without fairness, what else do you have as an official? How do you decide for the people? "
Fan Zhongyan gritted his teeth and argued: "The subordinate is in the censorship department. Seeing that they are doing nothing in the censorship department every day, isn't it a dude?"
Kou Ji sneered: "There are too many people in the hall who have nothing to do. You go to Liubu and see, there are all idle people up and down. You can go to the fireworks and Liuxiang in Bianjing City. They are all Liubu people.
They are also doing nothing, why didn't your eyes fall on them, but instead stare at Liu Heng and Cao Tong
It's not because those people are all scholars and scholars.
And Liu Heng and Cao Dong were from Wuxun.
In the final analysis, it's because you have a prejudice against Wu Xun. "
Fan Zhongyan opened his mouth to speak, but Kou Ji didn't give him a chance to speak. Instead, he said in a loud voice, "This official will tell you the true colors of the two dudes in your mouth.
Cao Yu, served as the prison governor for less than a month.
First, we sorted out the dirty officials in the prison room, streamlined the government affairs of the prison room, and allowed the prison room to have one job.
In a prison room, under his management, the processing of government affairs has more than doubled.
And also helped the court save nearly a thousand guans of salary.
Not only that, he also uncovered 36 unjust cases, cleared up 34 people, and saved 34 lives.
You go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and ask, how do you judge that group of death row prisoners? "
Kou Ji counted the credits of Cao Tong, and it really wasn't he.
Punishing corrupt officials is what must be done to control the prison room.
Cao Tong wants to administer a prison room, so naturally he has to punish those corrupt officials who can't escape.
As for the unjust cases, they were dug out from their mouths when punishing the corrupt officials.
They collected black money and helped people in unjust cases.
After being caught by Cao Tong, he was interrogated, and then he was told.
It is ridiculous that Zhang Lun also said with scorching words that he could not tolerate guilty people around him.
As everyone knows, when he was administering the Criminal Division, a large number of corrupt officials were hiding from him and deceiving others.
If it weren't for the bad situation in Kou Mansion, Kou Ji really wanted to write a letter to be given to Zhang Lun to stimulate him.
When Fan Zhongyan heard this, his eyes widened in vain, with a look of disbelief.
Kou Ji continued: "There is also Liu Heng, who has served as the governor of the seal, less than a month. I have sorted out the corrupt officials who have sealed a house and found 19 corrupt officials who are greedy for money from the monetization library. The amount of corruption is as high as that of the government. One hundred and sixty thousand coins.
He not only punished these corrupt officials, but also helped the court recover nearly 140,000 stolen money.
You tell the officer, is he a dude? "
Fan Zhongyan wanted to ask, those two guys who were drinking and having fun at the Criminal Division were really as good as Kou Ji said
But he did not ask.
Since Kou Ji dared to say this in front of him, there would be no falsehood.
Because he himself was referring to the Criminal Division, he could inquire about what Kou Ji said casually in the Criminal Division.
So Kou Ji didn't need to lie to him.
Fan Zhongyan stayed in place for a long time, then suddenly got up, bowed to Kou Ji, and said: "The lower official knew that he was wrong."
He really couldn't think of a rebuttal, and he didn't have the intention to force a rebuttal.
He decisively admitted his mistake to Kou Ji.
This incident was because he listened to it before, and it was his fault. If he insisted on it, it didn't make much sense and would annoy Kou Ji.
Kou Ji is his superior. If he offends Kou Ji, he will not end well.
He has also been an official for a few years, and he naturally understands the rules of the officialdom.
Seeing Fan Zhongyan admit his mistake, Kou Ji nodded in satisfaction.
He knew that Fan Zhongyan was still dissatisfied.
Like Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister who can make a name in the history of youth, he has a little bit of his own persistence.
Since Kou Ji wanted to receive him from his subordinates, he naturally had to convince him.
Kou Ji waved his hand to let Fan Zhongyan sit down, and asked the maid to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Is this what the officer said just now a bit heavy?"
Fan Zhongyan just picked up the teacup, heard Kou Ji's words, put down the teacup hurriedly, said: "The judge's words are reasonable. The fault is with the judge. If it weren't for the judge's admonition, the judge might not know that he was wrong.
Speaking of which, the next official should have thanked the judge for mentioning something. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji laughed aloud: "Sure enough... I have been an official for a long time, and the scenes are pretty."
Fan Zhongyan smiled awkwardly.
He has been an official for several years, and he has met many senior officials.
But like Kou Ji, who went straight and said everything on the table, he hadn't seen him much.
Even Zhang Lun, who has an upright temper, has never been so straightforward when talking to him.
Suddenly seeing such a person, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Kou Ji looked at Fan Zhongyan with a look of embarrassment, and he smiled calmly: "Don't look at Liu Heng and Cao Yu who have nothing to do in the Criminal Division. In fact, they will do nothing less.
The reason why they have so much free time is because they know how to use people and are willing to pay for them.
It is inevitable to act as an official.
But not everything needs to be done by yourself.
To be an official, the most important thing is to know people and use them well.
Otherwise, you will be exhausted and you will not be able to finish all the government affairs. "
Fan Zhongyan's mouth twitched, and he was preached by someone younger than him and an official.
He was very uncomfortable.
He understands what Kou Ji said, he understands much better than Kou Ji.
The reason why he is unwilling to have deep friendship with Kou Ji, Liu Heng, and Cao Tong, in the final analysis, is because of their origins.
He hadn't thought about this before, but now it's been broken by Kou Ji.
Looking back carefully, I found that I was indeed consciously hating the dude.
I always like to think bad things about the dude.
"The junior officer has been taught..."
Fan Zhongyan bit his scalp and replied.
Seeing Fan Zhongyan’s expression, Kou Ji knew that the fire was almost over, so he slowly opened his mouth and questioned: "Brother Fan, have you ever heard of the words,'Worry for the world first, but for joy afterwards." ?"
Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth in astonishment.
"This... This is what the sage said..."
Fan Zhongyan was not surprised. These words coincided with his way of being an official.
By the way, he read all the classics and never saw this sentence.
Naturally couldn't help asking.
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "An old beggar said, I saw that there is some truth in what he said, so I rewarded him with some money and wrote down this sentence by the way."
Fan Zhongyan was anxious when he heard the words, "This person is a great talent, how can he become a beggar. Can the judge find him? If the judge can support this person, this person will definitely do a lot in the future."
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and sighed: "I want to help him too, but he is not interesting."
Fan Zhongyan patted a few short shots, and sighed, "It's a pity..."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry... I find this person, and I will find a way to help him. I can't waste talent."
Fan Zhongyan heard this and said seriously: "If the judge can find this person, he must introduce him to the next official."
Kou Ji smiled in his heart, but he responded casually, "Don't worry, this officer will help you introduce this person sooner or later."
Fan Zhongyan arched his hands, "Thank you for the judge."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Getting to the bottom of the story... This official feels that'worry and worry about the world first, and joy after the world's happiness' fits the way of the official as an official. This official also hopes you to remember this sentence.
I am an official, for the people, for the world.
No matter where you are in the future, you can't forget your heart. "
Fan Zhongyan stood up, bowed to Kou Ji, and solemnly said: "The lower official has already taken this in his heart."
Fan Zhongyan heard Kou Ji's "worry and worry about the world before, and joy after the world" as an official way, and his prejudice against Kou Ji has also faded a lot, and he has a faint plan to have a deep friendship with Kou Ji.
Kou Ji saw Fan Zhongyan's thoughts, but did not speak to him.
He said so much to Fan Zhongyan today, and it has been enough for Fan Zhongyan to digest it for a while.
Furthermore, it may be counterproductive.
Kou Ji still understands the truth that too much is too late.
Seeing Kou Ji holding the teacup, Fan Zhongyan stopped talking, just kept drinking tea, he was stunned.
Then it seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "I wonder if the judge recruited officials today, what's the important thing?"
The two of them spoke for a long time.
Fan Zhongyan didn't know Kou Ji's purpose for recruiting him today.
Kou Ji put down the tea cup and smiled: "In private, don't always call me the judge and judge. You are old and I am young. I ask you to call you Brother Fan and you call me Brother Kou. That's it."
Fan Zhongyan was taken aback, arched his hands a little uncomfortably, and said, "Brother Kou..."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Brother Fan, I came to you today, just to ask you..."
"what?"
"Do you want to be promoted?"
"what?!"
Fan Zhongyan stood up abruptly with a look of astonishment.
Not long after he was promoted, his butt hadn't been hot, and he wanted to be promoted again.
He couldn't believe it.
In the past, when he was an official outside, he always heard from his colleagues that there were people in the court who were good officials, and promotion was like running a horse.
He couldn't believe it before, but he still can't believe it.
He didn't understand why Kou Ji treated him so well. He just helped him get promoted, and then he wanted to help him get promoted.
Regarding friendship, the two people had no friendship before, and they hadn't even seen each other before.
Regarding relatives, one is Kou, the other is Fan, the first is the grandson of the prime minister, and the other is from the background of Tuoyoubo. They can't beat them even at eight strokes.
Kou Ji waved his hand and asked Fan Zhongyan to sit down and reminded: "Don't be so excited... I just asked casually, whether you can promote you, it depends on your good fortune.
And it's not now, it has to wait a long time. "
Hearing Kou Ji's words, Fan Zhongyan breathed a sigh of relief.
He really thought that Kou Ji was going to help him get promoted now.
If that's the case, he would definitely run away.
Kou Ji didn't know him before, and occasionally heard of his talents, and carried him with his hand, he could understand.
But if Kou Ji helped him to do things quickly, then he had to wonder if Kou Ji had a plot against him.
He has been in Bianjing for many days, and he has heard some rumors about Kou Ji.
There are rumors that Kou Ji is a masculine man. He specially rescued a young man who was more handsome than a woman from death row and brought him into the mansion.
Although the rumors are only spread in a small area, it can be said that there are noses and eyes.
Fan Zhongyan didn't believe this rumor before, but if Kou Jizhen wanted to help him quickly, he would believe the rumor.
