Chapter 007 Accountability Storm

Huang Rui had to be shocked!

What is Xiao Chen's status now? According to the practice of the past twenty or thirty years, with Xiao Chen's huge age advantage, it is basically an ironclad matter for the next term to enter the Standing Committee, and it is even very likely that he will achieve the status of "prince" in the next term!

Xiao Chen has such an identity, but he personally called him Huang Rui, which in the eyes of outsiders, is of course his great honor Huang Rui, but looking back, how can it not be the heavy pressure on his shoulders?

Huang Rui has followed Xiao Chen for several years, and he knows the characteristics of Xiao Chen as an official. As his subordinate, as long as the things that should be done are not wrong, the benefits in the score will definitely not be less, and there will even be additional surprises; But if things can't be done to his satisfaction, he will deal with it, but it will be neat. Huang Rui often thinks that this may have something to do with Secretary Xiao - Huang Rui used to call Xiao Chen a secretary - who studied law back then. The legal principle is fair and fair, strict and unblemished, and Secretary Xiao has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he has long been round on the outside and square on the inside, and he usually seems to be elegant and elegant, harmonious and accessible, but in fact, he has a section in his heart as his bottom line, if he rashly touches it, he will be severely punished.

What can make Secretary Xiao call directly? This is the most bottomless thing in Huang Rui's heart now, Lang Liu's situation, Huang Rui knows very well in his heart, it seems to be a good thing, but in fact it is full of dangers, he knows that Xiao Chen's eyes are superb, Lang Liu's internal situation, Secretary Xiao must be insightful. With Secretary Xiao's habits, his phone call will definitely not be to praise him Huang Rui's contribution to Langliu's economic development, let alone to pull family life, there is a good chance that Langliu has made a mistake, Secretary Xiao called to criticize him, and by the way, he may also point out a thing or two.

Huang Rui's mind turned a lot in this short period of two or three seconds, but he was not slow under his hands, and when he finally glanced at the hidden number on the mobile phone and only showed a familiar short code that few people knew, Huang Rui took a deep breath, pressed the connect button, and asked in a cautious but natural voice: "Xiao ...... Clerk? ”

Huang Rui's secretary has the meaning of maintaining the old friendship, but it is not wrong, Xiao Chen is also the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee now, and there is absolutely no problem with this "secretary".

"Huang Rui, are you asleep?" Xiao Chen's tone was very calm, even a little flat, Huang Rui couldn't hear any emotion, but he seemed to be able to feel the faint care in Xiao Chen's tone.

I don't know why, my heart was hot, and I was still a little nervous just now, so I unconsciously let go of a lot, but I still explained: "Not yet, an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee is being held...... Secretary, what are your instructions? ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "Also in a meeting?" Oh, I'm just going to break up...... I don't have any instructions, but I just saw a blog post related to Lang Liu, mentioning some of Lang Liu's current situation, so I will call you to verify it. ”

Huang Rui's heart that had just been put down tightened again, and asked: "The secretary asked, I naturally know everything, and I have no end to it." ”

Xiao Chen smiled again, as if he didn't mean to be angry, and said lightly: "Is that the case......"——

The National People's Congress session has finally ended, and the new top leadership of China is fully in place, and there is no doubt that Xue Yuanlan was elected president of the country and chairman of the State Military Commission; Yu Zhengsheng was elected chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress; Xu Anqiu was elected Prime Minister of the State Council; Zhang Chonghe was elected chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference; Wang Haikuo is ranked fifth among the Politburo Standing Committee and serves as the director of the Central Committee for the Construction of Spiritual Civilization, so he does not hold other positions; Li Yuanzhuo was elected vice president of the country; Wang Fengming was elected Vice Premier of the Government Council (Vice Premier ranked first); Together with Hou Dongxiang, who has already served as secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Meng Cunshi, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, the nine Standing Committee members of this session have all been put in place, and they have all held various positions.

As for other changes, there is no need to elaborate on it, Xiao Chen's various positions are all party positions, so these changes in his position have "little to do" with him, and there are not many faces, which is also in line with the special sè of the head of the Central Organization Department.

Another thing that needs to be added is that after Hou Dongxiang officially assumed the post of secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in October last year, he resigned as secretary of the Dongchuan City CPC Committee, and Dongchuan Mayor Lu Yunlai took over as secretary of the Dongchuan City CPC Committee, and was elected to the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, becoming a "young Zhuang faction" whose age advantage is second only to Xiao Chen in the Politburo, and his political future is quite optimistic about the outside world, and many foreign media and foreign "experts on the Chinese issue" believe that he is very likely to become an important member of the new leadership of the next generation of China, and according to the practice of China in recent years, the possibility of him becoming the premier is quite great.

Many analysts believe that Xiao Chen is the young Politburo who has the best chance of winning the throne of the general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but if Lu Yunlai becomes the premier, the core position of the general secretary will be further weakened in the sixth generation of the Chinese leadership collective, and China will enter the era of "mortal politics" in an all-round way. At the same time, these analysts almost without exception believe that judging from Xiao Chen's experience and deeds in the past 20 years in politics, it is difficult to believe that he can endure the "weak" status quo at that time......

Xiao Chen naturally understands how to analyze it from the outside, but in fact, he doesn't care much about the opinions of those foreign media, analysts, and even foreign political think tanks now. In his current position, there is not much point in paying attention to these things.

Xiao Chen is now brewing a big event, if this matter is successful, I dare not say that it can sweep away the decadence of Chinese officialdom, at least it can inject a gust of fresh wind, and it is this gust of wind, it is by no means the end of the blow, as long as it can be really done, this breeze can continue to blow.

In his position, seek his government. What Xiao Chenyù wants to promote is precisely the reform of the personnel system.

The reform that Xiao Chen wants to do is actually not an innovation, but according to Huaxia's special saying, it is really "deepening reform". The specific project of deepening reform is the accountability of party and government officials.

It turned out that Huaxia was punished by party discipline and government discipline, and officials were only investigated if they committed crimes. After the reform and opening up, especially since the 90s of the last century, with the increase in accidents, Huaxia introduced a political management model and gradually began to pay attention to accountability. In the past, officials had a lot of power, but they did not directly take responsibility after an accident, unless they violated party discipline and state law and went wrong, they were investigated according to party discipline and government discipline. Accountability, on the other hand, means that even if you do not violate party discipline and state law, you must be held accountable if something goes wrong within the scope of your responsibility and position.

On May 7, 2013, Xiao Chen, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and Minister of Organization of the Central Committee, Li Zhengfeng, Secretary of the Xiaonan Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, Jiang Shaocheng, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zheng Zhipeng, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor, Lin Chengnan, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee; Accompanied by He Lidong, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and other leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, they went to Langliu City, Xiaonan Province to investigate and deepen the reform of the accountability system for party and government leading cadres. Huang Rui, Secretary of the Langliu Municipal Party Committee, Han Dong, Mayor and other city leaders accompanied the investigation.

Xiao Chen said in the investigation: The recent reform of the accountability system of party and government leading cadres in Langliu City has been fruitful. This reform is a reform that stands on the high plane of putting people first and is guided by Zheng Nanxun and Xiao Fei's theories, the important thinking of the three represents, and the scientific outlook on development. Xiao Chen emphasized: If the officials govern the Qing Dynasty, the party and the government will be clean; If the party and government are clean, the world will be safe.

Li Zhengfeng, secretary of the provincial party committee, introduced to Xiao Chen that the Xiaonan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government have made a decision a few days ago to promote the "responsibility storm" set off by Langliu City, implement the "governance plan", and optimize the experience of the development environment throughout the province, so as to cover the accountability of governance to every level, every post, and every cadre.

Li Zhengfeng said: Judging from the current situation, the "three mediocrities" phenomenon of mediocrity of spirit, mediocrity of ability, and mediocrity of responsibility, and the "three noes" of irresponsibility, failure to fulfill responsibility, and failure to take responsibility, still exist to varying degrees among cadres in a small number of regions and organs in the province. Xiaonan, which is developing scientifically, developing by leaps and bounds, and building a strategic fulcrum for the rise of central China, cannot tolerate these lazy and sloppy phenomena that hinder development. Xiaonan needs extraordinary people to move forward, and Xiaonan needs extraordinary moves. The province's all-round implementation of the "governance plan" and the "storm of responsibility" are an extraordinary move in extraordinary times.

Minister Xiao Chen expressed his appreciation for this and emphasized that the key to implementing this extraordinary move lies in re-emphasizing accountability. He said: "The problem of 'mediocrity, laziness, laxity, and softness' in the ranks of cadres cannot be solved by 'thunder but not rain', and the problem cannot be solved by persuasion and education in the style of 'gentle wind and drizzle'. ”

At the subsequent work meeting of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, Xiao Chen put forward the three-character principle of accountability and governance based on what he observed and thought in this investigation: fast, strict, and heavy.

Xiao Chen said: "The first thing to do is to focus on the word 'fast' and do it quickly. With regard to undesirable phenomena and problems such as laziness, mediocrity, and softness, we must 'dare to cure, ruthlessly, and re-cure,' and we must treat them really. It can't be delayed, it can't be delayed, it can't be delayed, it can't be slow. Otherwise, we will fail the great trust of the party and the people and lose the high expectations of the people. The accountability of the governance of mediocrity should not only be carried out throughout the country, but also the storm groups in various localities should live up to the expectations of the masses, shoulder this historical responsibility, investigate the phenomenon of laziness and mediocrity as soon as possible, and deal with it as soon as possible. This is not enough, but it is also necessary to publicize the investigation and punishment situation to the outside world as soon as possible through the media, open government affairs, and other forms, so that lazy and sloppy cadres have no room for 'mediation' and 'communication', so as to avoid 'long nights and dreams' becoming a stumbling block to the storm of mediocrity. At the same time, the rumors and untrue news caused by the storm of governance should also be clarified as soon as possible, and the errors caused by the understanding of the storm of governance should also be corrected as soon as possible.

The word 'strict' should also be the first to be accountable, and severe punishment and punishment should be achieved. It is not possible to punish without fighting, and if it only thunders and does not rain, it will not only not cure mediocrity, but will encourage mediocrity. At the beginning of the rule of mediocrity, it cannot be ruled out that some cadres who harbored a fluke mentality should explore the direction of the wind and try the severity by example. With regard to these symptomatic phenomena, we must not turn a blind eye or close our eyes, and we must pass by with the word 'strict' and rectify them with heavy discipline. Only when there is no room for half a grain of sand in the eyes and the cost of violations of laws and regulations can the lazy and sloppy people be daunted, and the soil for lazy and sloppy reproduction can be fundamentally eradicated, and the administrative ecological dilemma of laziness and mediocrity can be quickly walked out, and the eyes of diligence and honesty can be formed, and the organ culture of 'doing it right away and doing it well' can be done well, and the administrative efficiency can be improved.

The word 'heavy' should be the first to be accountable, so that it can be questioned and held accountable. Serving the people quickly and conveniently is the unshirkable responsibility of governments at all levels. No matter what position or cadre, they are the main body of responsibility. There are men and women, young and old, and seniority, and there is no difference in background, relationship, or contribution. The only thing that awaits the violator is the sword. Moreover, for the laziness and softness of a post or a cadre, it is necessary not only to hold them accountable, but also to hold the 'top leaders' accountable. The 'number one' has unshirkable joint and several liability. Perhaps, there is a suspicion that this 'joint sitting' system may encourage mutual protection. However, if we intensify our supervision over the work of governing the mediocrity and accountability, and give full play to the role of supervision over the people's law, democratic supervision by the CPPCC, internal supervision by discipline inspection and supervision and organizational departments, supervision by public opinion by the news media, and supervision by the masses of society, there will be nowhere to hide this kind of cover-up. In this way, pulling up the radish and bringing up the mud to ask for heavy responsibility can the 'storm of governance' have a deterrent effect. ”

All of a sudden, the media and the Internet applauded, and the people's favor towards the "Zhiyong Shangshu" rose gradually, but some people disagreed, thinking that the reversal of the trend was so easy? Fighting against the atmosphere of the entire bureaucratic system with his own strength, Xiao Chen's move, although well-intentioned, was reckless. Some people even sweated for Xiao Chen......

Xiao Chen didn't seem to hear all this!
