Hearing Li Tianyi ask such a simple question, Huang Xiaochuan snorted coldly and did not answer directly.

Li Tianyi didn't care, but said in a deep voice: "That's because our communists have always put Marxism-Leninism into their thinking, that's because we firmly implement the ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and that's because our party members and cadres have a correct outlook on life, world outlook and values."

But Comrade Huang Xiaochuan, do you know what? For these officials who like to burn incense and worship Buddha, what is their spiritual world like?

I have done in-depth research on this, and I can tell you clearly that in fact, in their spiritual world, they always think that it is the Buddha who blesses them with promotion and wealth, so they even love to build Buddha statues, temples, and pagodas. They foolishly thought that they would be blessed by giving to the Buddha, but they were all wrong. And it's a big mistake. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tianyi glanced at the audience, and finally fell on Huang Xiaochuan's body, and said: "Comrade Huang Xiaochuan, I like to study Chinese culture, although I am not proficient in the classic classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but most of the classic classics can also be memorized.

This is also the reason why I say that I understand the spiritual world of these officials who like to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The reason why I say that they are all wrong is because Buddhism has a saying of "greed, hatred, and ignorance".

But for these, whether it is those corrupt officials or corrupt officials, or officials who burn incense and worship Buddha, they may not know at all, and even if they do, they may not care.

According to Buddhism, those who fall into the three poisons will fall into hell.

Among the three poisons, "greed" is the first poison, regardless of money, fame and fortune, but a dream bubble, greedy for it, like dew and electricity.

Buddhists talk about karma, and these people probably don't know either.

Just imagine, when someone embezzles or takes bribes to get a large sum of money, sees other corrupt officials being arrested, and hears that our Commission for Discipline Inspection wants to severely punish corruption, can their hearts calm down and accept it calmly?

When a person's mind is in a state of fear, worry, and sorrow all the time, what is the difference between this feeling and being in hell?

However, when they used the proceeds of embezzlement to support a lover who was dozens of years younger than themselves, thinking that they were enjoying a fairy-like life, did they ever think that when the woman who should have called them uncle or even grandfather messed with them, what difference was there between what they did and that of animals?

When a person's greed swells, the more greedy they get, the bigger the holes dig up, and their greed can't be satisfied, is their life really heaven?

When a person's career is not smooth, he will do whatever it takes to get promoted, he suppresses his opponents, he is jealous of others, and he bribes his superiors, and they rack their brains every day to calculate this, calculate that, and always have to guard against the counterattack and revenge of their opponents, is that kind of pain really heaven?

In fact, for such people, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha is just a kind of psychological venting in their hearts, which is essentially the greed for money and the fear of illegal possession of money.

I THINK THAT HEAVEN AND HELL ARE MADE BY ONE PERSON, NO ZUO NO DIE.

Some people light lamps and ask for light, but in fact, the real light is in our hearts.

Those who burn incense and worship the Buddha take out a lot of money to give alms, to worship, to burn incense and light lamps.

In fact, they simply found the wrong person.

For us Communists, "the lamp that should really be ordered is the lamp of serving the people wholeheartedly, lighting this lamp, a hundred demons will not invade, everything is safe, why do you need to pray for the blessing of the Buddha?"

For some cadres who have become corrupt, evading punishment is their appeal to God and Buddha. In particular, as our country is vigorously promoting the rule of law, and the intensity of punishing corruption is getting stronger and stronger, "tigers" and "flies" have nowhere to hide, and corrupt officials who are thieves and weak hearts are in fear all day long. At this time, he naturally begged the Buddha to help him turn evil into good fortune, eliminate disasters, and avoid punishment by worshiping God and changing feng shui.

In my opinion, if there is a problem with the general switch of ideals and beliefs, and if there is a deviation in the outlook on life, values, and world view, no matter how devout they worship God and Buddha, even if they have the guidance of a "master" like Wang Lin, they will be "a blind man lighting a lamp in vain." Only by keeping in mind the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, using power for the people, caring for the people, and seeking benefits for the people, can we be safe and sound. ”

After Li Tianyi finished speaking, the whole scene fell silent again.

Everyone looked at Li Tianyi with a variety of eyes. Some people have a little more surprise in their eyes, some people have a little more solemnity in their eyes, and some people have a little more appreciation in their eyes.

But no matter what everyone thinks of Li Tianyi, Huang Xiaochuan was really stunned by Li Tianyi's remarks.

He also tried to refute Li Tianyi, but found that in Li Tianyi's remarks just now, he could no longer find suitable arguments and arguments to refute it.

At this time, Chen Jingrui, head of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee, who is usually as low-key as Li Tianyi, suddenly raised his head and said: "I agree with Comrade Li Tianyi's views, as the head of the United Front Work Department, I have also communicated with some Buddhist masters, and their views are relatively similar to Comrade Li Tianyi's.

At present, some of our party members and cadres go to burn incense and worship the Buddha, not really believing in the Buddha, but they want to pray to the Buddha for spiritual comfort through the transaction of burning incense and giving alms; although we cannot be 100% sure that every official who regularly burns incense and worships the Buddha has problems, but if every official who burns incense and worships the Buddha really investigates him, then at least more than 60 percent of these people are still no problem to find out the problem officials.

The reason is very simple: a true and pure Communist Party member should only believe in Marxism-Leninism* ideology and only socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era. ”

Chen Jingrui's words carried a lot of weight, especially at the critical moment when Li Tianyi and Huang Xiaochuan were debating fiercely, like a clear spring in the desert, which immediately moistened Li Tianyi's views to a very complete conclusion.

At this moment, Executive Vice Governor Nguyen Zongguo suddenly raised his head and said: "Although Li Tianyi has some understanding of Buddhism, and his views sound very reasonable, the problem now is that the treatment of these people is too arbitrary and arbitrary.

Yes, it is indeed very inappropriate for them to burn incense and worship Buddha as party members and cadres, but there is no need to directly beat them to death.

I do not deny that the reasoning mentioned by Comrade Li Tianyi seems to be acceptable, but I believe that all of you present should also understand that in the officialdom, there is a kind of cultivation called love at the top and good at the bottom, and these people are all burning incense and worshiping the Buddha at this time, and perhaps their real purpose is not really to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Most likely, there are other purposes. For example, a chance encounter with a certain leader, creating an opportunity to appear in front of the leader, etc.

In my opinion, we must be cautious and cautious in dealing with these dozens of middle-level cadres in Taozhou City, because many of them are middle-level cadres in Taozhou City, and if so many middle-level cadres are dealt with at once, it is very likely to cause instability in Taozhou City, and even cause a joint backlash among these people.

Sometimes, we must deal with it flexibly, grasp the big and let go of the small, grasp the main contradictions, and temporarily abandon the secondary contradictions. This is the way to govern for civil servants of our level. ”

When he said the last sentence, Ruan Zongguo looked into Li Tianyi's eyes and said it, which was obviously teaching Li Tianyi's rhythm.

But at the same time, this tone of speech also revealed a hint of information, that is, Ruan Zongguo still regarded Li Tianyi as a junior, and did not regard Li Tianyi as an equal status and level with himself.

I have to say that Ruan Zongguo's words are still very powerful. Even Governor Lei Chengzhi nodded lightly after hearing this.

Ruan Zongguo's remarks directly pointed at the weakness of Li Tianyi's view of demanding severe punishment for these people.

Li Tianyi never thought that Ruan Zongguo would respond to him like this.

You must know that when Ruan Zongguo said this, although on the surface he was excusing these middle-level cadres in Taozhou City, in fact, he also pointed out a practical problem, that is, these people were all going for Mayor Wu Zhengfu. This is obviously the rhythm of leading the contradiction to Wu Zhengfu.

Although Li Tianyi's second topic is Wu Zhengfu, what is the purpose of Ruan Zongguo suddenly adding fuel to the fire here?

Li Tianyi's brain was spinning rapidly.

Li Tianyi has also been up and down in officialdom for more than ten years, and he is well aware of the truth that if something goes wrong, he must be a demon. There is no love for no reason in officialdom, and there is no hate for no reason. The more critical it is, the more attention must be paid to the details.

It stands to reason that there should be no direct conflict between Wu Zhengfu and Nguyen Zongguo. So there are only three possibilities for Ruan Zongguo to suddenly point the finger at Wu Zhengfu at this time, one is that there is a hidden contradiction between the two, and the other is that he can only come at himself, or at his father-in-law Cheng Guodong. Li Tianyi also heard his father-in-law, Cheng Guodong, say that during his tenure as secretary of the provincial party committee, Ruan Zongguo did not agree with his political views on many things.

Coupled with the contradiction between himself and Ruan Zongguo's son-in-law Zhao Zhijian, Ruan Zongguo definitely does not have any good impression of himself.

So at this moment, he stood up against his own opinions, leading to Wu Zhengfu's question, and the greatest possibility was to deal with himself.

At this point, Li Tianyi laughed, glanced at Ruan Zongguo with a deep gaze, and said: "Listening to Comrade Ruan Zongguo's meaning, your opinion is that you agree with the Taozhou City Party Committee's handling opinion? However, there is one thing that I don't quite understand, what does Comrade Ruan Zongguo mean by the upward and downward effects? Who are these middle-level cadres to emulate?"
