A few days later, Jin Shengjun saw Xue Ji playing outside the palace gate with a large group of friends, so he gave Xue Ji a thumbs up in front of those children.In the face of Jin Shengjun's repeated compliments, Xue Ji guessed that he must have to resort to some new conspiracy, but on the surface, he was silent, and just asked lightly: "Uncle Jin, don't you want me to chop the remaining wooden barrel at the gate of the palace this time?"
”"Ouch, Xue Jixian's nephew, you are so smart, as soon as you opened your mouth, you guessed Uncle Kim's idea!"
Kim gave another thumbs up."
Oh, Uncle Kim, I don't dare this time."
Xue Ji pretended to be scared and said, "After I went back last time, my grandfather scolded me severely, and my grandfather said that if you destroy the emperor's things, you will be killed!"
”"Hahaha, your grandfather scared you."
Jin Shengjun laughed and said, "Virtuous nephew, with your ingenuity, if you split the remaining wooden barrel at the entrance of the palace, the emperor may appreciate you even more!"
”"Really?"
Xue Ji glared at him, and scolded hatefully in his heart: It seems that you old traitor will not die if you don't force my family to death!
Since your heart is so vicious, you can't blame others!
I'd like to see who will kill the deer then!
Thinking of this, he deliberately said casually: "Split, split, what's the big deal!"
Bring a knife!
”"There's a kind!
is worthy of Prime Minister Xue's precious grandson!
”Jin Shengjun said, turned his head and ordered his entourage to untie his waist knife and send it away.Xue Ji took the knife, walked straight to the palace gate, and chopped the remaining wooden barrel.Jin Shengjun was overjoyed when he saw it, and he hurriedly asked people to write a seal overnight to secretly play Li Lu, and implore the ancestors of the Xue family to be severely punished.Xue Ji was always calm as usual, and in the face of Emperor Li Lu's questioning, he still asked the same as before, and asked unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, you are the Holy Monarch, so do you say that it is better to have a country like a wooden barrel, or a country like an iron bucket?"
”"Nonsense!"
Li Lu replied, "From ancient times to the present, who has ever heard of the barrel-like country?
”"That's right, Your Majesty."
Xue Ji clapped his hands and smiled, "Since Your Majesty you want your country to be as strong as an iron bucket, what else do you want that wooden barrel for?"
For the sake of the perpetuation of the country for generations to come, why don't you make a decree as soon as possible and cast a hard iron bucket as a new holy relic?
”After Xue Ji's words, Li Lu suddenly turned his anger into joy.His previous anger disappeared, and he also rewarded Xue Ji with a thousand taels of gold in recognition of his extraordinary ability to adapt to situations.After Xue Ji was sealed, he unexpectedly did not kneel down to thank him, but tore his throat and cried loudly, "Your Majesty, the kid has something to say........
In fact, the destruction of the holy relics twice by me was not my idea, but instigated by Jin Shengjun and Jin Shangshu.He has always had bad intentions, coveted my grandfather's high position as prime minister, deceived me when I was young and ignorant, and repeatedly encouraged me to destroy the royal relics, intending to murder my grandfather and my family's life, until he replaced him!
Now, Your Majesty, not only did you not cure my ancestors and grandchildren, but rewarded me with so much gold, how could he give up so easily that he didn't hate the roots of his teeth?
With his vicious heart, I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks he will use to calculate us in the future, and my grandparents will die at his hands sooner or later!
Since this is the case, it is better to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to punish my ancestors and grandchildren for their capital crimes now, so as not to make him work hard again and again!
”"Your Majesty, don't listen to this kid's nonsense!"
Jin Shengjun was already frightened on the side, and hurriedly went out of class to kneel, "Your Majesty, even if you lend Weichen a hundred guts, Weichen will not dare to do such a stupid thing to bully the king!"
”"Your Majesty, every word of my words is true, there is absolutely no half-truth, I dare to vouch for it with the head of a family!"
Xue Ji said in an affirmative tone, "Jin Shengjun not only instigated me to chop the barrel, but even the knife that cut the barrel was also provided to me by his entourage!"
The children I was playing with at the time saw with their own eyes and testified!
Moreover, most of them are the descendants of the ministers of the court, and they are easy to find, and His Majesty only needs to send someone to call them and ask them, and everything will be clear!
”Li Lu really didn't expect that Xue Xiruo's little grandson turned out to be such a demonic prodigy, he laughed a few times, and then said to Xue Ji, "Xue family baby, you have such insight at a young age, it's not simple, it's not simple......"
Li Lu didn't say a simple word, and directly let Xue Ji sit down on the title of prodigy, as a grandfather, Xue Xiruo also changed his strength at this time, he made his good grandson scared a lot today.And Jin Shengjun on the other side never thought that Xue Ji was so young and thoughtful, and the iron-clad facts were in front of him, and he knew that no matter how much he denied it, it would be useless.He collapsed on the ground, and Li Lu looked at Jin Shengjun, who was very valued by himself, and turned out to be such an unsuccessful thing, so he didn't fight anywhere.He simply removed Jin Shengjun's position, and then handed over Jin Shengjun to the relevant departments for a strict investigation, to Li Lu's surprise, this Jin Shengjun is not only very ambitious, but also the corruption of this goods is also very surprising, just from Jin Shengjun's home, he found out seven thousand taels of gold, silver and British dollars, as well as rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., then there is no way to count, seeing this mountain of treasures, Li Lu's face is called an ugly ....... as Li Lu's right-hand man, but also Li Lu's favorite Di Renjie, He has a strong ability to observe words and feelings, why Li Lu has a headache, Di Renjie knows it in his heart, as the future prime minister, he is also thinking about how to curb corruption, after a long time, Di Renjie gave Li Lu a book, in this book, Di Renjie talked about his views.After Li Lu got the excerpt, when he took a look, he felt that Di Renjie was worthy of a generation of famous ministers, and this was accurate.Di Renjie very much agrees with Li Lu's theory that "to govern the country, we must first govern officials", but he believes that officials should not blindly kill and kill, but should carry out the construction of anti-corruption system from the institutional level, and he believes that this is the most important and fundamental construction of anti-corruption and clean government.So what does Di Renjie suggest Li Lu to build at the institutional level?
First of all, Di Renjie suggested that Li Lu formulate a decree to fight corruption and promote clean government.He put forward and summarized seven suggestions: First, be pure-hearted, treat things calmly, and not sway political affairs for your own joys, angers, loves and hatreds.The second is to be fair, honest and honest, and honest.The third is to cultivate virtue, to convince people with virtue, rather than to oppress people with power.Fourth, be pragmatic and don't be greedy for fame.Fifth, we should be discerning, be diligent in observing the people's feelings, and refrain from harsh taxes and unfair punishments.Sixth, we should be diligent in studying and diligent in political affairs and economic development.Seventh, we must strive to eliminate all kinds of malpractices.Second, Di Renjie suggested that Li Lu should take honesty as one of the most important criteria for the selection of officials in formulating the criteria for the appointment and selection of officials, and he suggested that in the future, officials should have a number of official officials to be promoted after the end of the inspection period.First of all, these officials must not have a history of corruption, and those who are guaranteed are also vetoed by one vote, and as long as there is corruption, they will not be allowed to be promoted.In this way, the integrity and purity of the officials were ensured from the entrance.Even if you become an official official, you can't take it lightly.If an official is found to be corrupt, not only will the official be punished, and it will be difficult for him to be promoted in the future, but his superiors and the officials who have recommended him will also be punished.In this way, a mechanism of self-conscious supervision has been formed from top to bottom, so that officials do not dare to be easily corrupt.Third, Di Renjie demanded that the construction of the supervision team should be strict and effective.In the selection of inspectors of the General Administration of Integrity, Di Renjie believes that they must be honest and selfless, and not avoid the powerful.It is also necessary to have a high level of cultural quality and practical experience in politics; Finally, it is necessary to implement the system of recusal of officials and relatives.No one recommended by the Governor, nor his sons, relatives, and subordinates shall serve as inspectors.Li Lu happily accepted Di Renjie's suggestion, but he also understood that even if he strictly followed Di Renjie's method, it would still be difficult to achieve honesty and honesty in the true sense, and there was no way to do it, who made this a worldwide problem?
