Chapter 664: The Thief in My Heart
Is it? I know T! ―.
Wang Hengyue waved his hand and let Huang Yuanxin go out first. He sat down in his chair, angry, pained, helpless, and tired.
Finally, I got the news I didn't want to hear. Although this has been mentally prepared for a long time.
In just one night, Dou Xiaoshui confessed everything he knew. The situation in Yunnan is more serious, and dozens of high-ranking officials have been implicated.
Among them, there are Manan and Dou Genwang, who were the original "heroes......
With Dou Xiaoshui's confession, Manan and Dou Genwang, local officials in Yunnan, were arrested without exception, and quickly confessed their crimes under interrogation.
The whole country was in an uproar, but it was also sideways.
Ma Nan, as the chairman of Yunnan Provincial Government and one of the important heroes under the president, was arrested, so the anti-corruption efforts of the political fart can be imagined.
And this is even more shocking to officials everywhere:
The president and the government are in earnest. All the regulations that were made before are already in effect!
No one can destroy, and no one can shake!
Wang Hengyue did not want to meddle in matters that belonged to the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the courts, and he relied on the strictest laws to punish these corrupt officials. As for what kind of punishment they will receive, that is not their own work
The only thing he wanted to know was to find out what was going on inside Manan.
He was full of curiosity as to why someone like Manan could go from being an opponent of corrupt officials to corrupt officials......
Manan, who was sitting opposite Wang Hengyue, didn't seem to be too depressed: Hengshuai, I finally planted it. ”
"Yes, I finally planted a ......" Wang Hengyue nodded calmly: "I'm just a little curious, you are a good official, you are also a capable official, and the treatment is also very good, why do you want to do this?" ”
Manan was silent for a while: Hengshuai, have you heard of Yuwentai's Su Qiang story? ”
"Nope." Wang Hengyue shook his head honestly:
Manan smiled: "Then I'll tell you ......."
Yuwentai was the founder of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. When he imitated Cao Cao and became the prime minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty and "coerced the princes of the Son of Heaven", he met Su Qiang, who was as famous as Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng. Yuwentai asked Su Yu about the way of the country, and the two talked secretly for three days and three nights.
Yu Wentai asked: "Why is the country established?" ”
Su Yu replied: "Gu Guan." ”
Yu Wentai asked: "How to be an official?" ”
Su Yu replied: "Use corrupt officials, anti-corrupt officials." ”
Yu Wentai asked puzzledly: "Why use corrupt officials?" ”
Su Qiang replied: "If you want to make others work for you, you must give benefits to others." And you don't have so much money to give them, so give him the right to use the power in his hand to search the tongue and the people's fat, and he won't get benefits? ”
Yu Wentai asked: "Corrupt officials have benefited from the power I have given, what benefits will they bring me?" ”
Su Yu replied: "Because he can get benefits because of the right you give, so he must maintain your rights in order to keep his own benefits." Isn't your rule, then, secure? You must know that everyone wants to sit on the emperor, and if there are no corrupt officials to maintain your power, then how can you consolidate and rule? ”
Yu Yitai suddenly realized, and then asked puzzledly: "Since you use corrupt officials, why do you want to do it?" ”
Su Yu replied: "This is the essence of power. If you want to use corrupt officials, you must fight against corrupt officials. Only in this way can we deceive the people and seek the regime. ”
Yuzhang Tai was puzzled when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Aiqing, let's talk about the mystery:"
Su Yu replied: "There are two advantages to this: First, how can there be an official in the world who is not greedy? Officials are not afraid of greed, but they are afraid of not listening to you.
In the name of anti-corruption officials, eliminate corrupt officials who do not listen to you, and retain corrupt officials who listen to you. In this way, you can eliminate dissent, consolidate your power, and gain the support of the people. …,
Second, as long as the official is greedy for ink, his handle is in your hands. If he dares to betray you, you will destroy him under the pretext of greedy ink. The corrupt official is afraid that you will destroy him, so he can only listen to you obediently. Therefore, anti-corruption officials are the magic weapon you use to control corrupt officials. If you don't use corrupt officials, you will lose the magic weapon of anti-corruption officials, so how can you control officials? If everyone is a clean official and is deeply supported by the people, and he is disobedient, you have no excuse to get rid of him; Even if it is hard to remove, it will be 3 times in a commotion. So you have to use corrupt officials so that you can clean up the ranks of the bureaucracy and make it a person who supports you unanimously:"
He said to Yu Wentai again: "And what! Yu Wentai widened his eyes and asked, "What else?" ”
Su Qiang replied: "What if you use corrupt officials to provoke public resentment? ”
Yuzhang Tai was taken aback, but he didn't expect this, so he asked: "What is the best way to get rid of this trouble?" ”
Su Sui replied: "Raise the banner of anti-corruption, increase publicity, and prove that you care about the people." Let the people mistakenly think that you are good, and the bad ones are those officials, put the blame on these and they must not let the people think that you are the culprit in the appointment of corrupt officials. You are good: There are so many problems in society, it is not that you don't want to do a good job, but that the officials below do not implement your policies well. ”
Yu Wentai said repeatedly: "I understand! I see! ”
After Manan finished telling this story, he raised his head and smiled bitterly: Heng Shuai, do you understand now? In all dynasties, there have always been corrupt officials, and if all of them are honest and honest officials, then it will be too difficult for you to get rid of a person. ”
"Why should I get rid of honest officials?" At this time, Wang Hengyue seemed very calm:
"Our country has a harmony disease, and that disease is corruption, which spreads like wildfire from south to north. Moreover, every corrupt official always has a lot of arguments to excuse his corruption. It is easy to break the thief in the mountain, and it is difficult to break the thief in your heart: I still remember what you said to me at the beginning, anti-corruption and anti-corruption are more and more corrupt: , Manan, you analyze it well, analyze it thoroughly, you can see through these problems, but you can't see through yourself, and you can't see through the current political deer ......"
Saying that, he was silent there: "You think you are a hero, in the troubled times, you can work together to tide over the difficulties, but in the peaceful season, the thief in your heart begins to move, relying on himself to be a hero, regardless of it, no longer think about anything, how much can be earned, anyway, there is a ring on the top of your head to cover Manan, you are wrong, I am not the emperor of that era, and I will not use corrupt officials to maintain my rule." If China's rulers always think this way, our country will never be able to progress."
He lit a cigarette for himself and took a slow puff: "In the early days of each dynasty, most of the officials were always very clean, but with the passage of time, the officials gradually couldn't restrain themselves, and the thieves in their hearts woke up, and they felt that they should make a lot of money, so the foundation of a dynasty was slowly hollowed out, and finally collapsed." It's not what I thought, I don't want a dynasty, I want a whole country. I have built so many systems in order to keep our country prosperous for a long time, not just a few decades or hundreds of years......"
Manan listened unusually calmly, this was a rare confession of the president's heart.
It seems that it is not a corrupt official who is tamed in front of Wang Hengyue, but all the people in general:
"There will always be corrupt officials in every country, China is like this, and the United States is no exception, what we have to do is to constantly improve the law, so that the whole country's system is sound, and if there is a problem, we will make up for it." It's not terrible to have a problem, what I want to do is to eliminate the thief in the hearts of officials...... Thief, if you don't get rid of it, then this country will never be able to do well, thief, if you don't get rid of it, this country will have to cross over sooner or later, Manan, do you know what I mean? ”…,
Ma Nan nodded slowly: Hengshuai, will you kill me? ”
"So ...... wrong"
Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "Back then, my 41 little Yunnan was a rage killing, and there were countless corrupt officials who died in my hands, but now I won't do it, now we have a complete law as a guarantee, and no one can be above the law."
As he spoke, he nodded at Manan: "For example, I really want to kill you in my heart, but if the court sentences you to ten years, I will definitely not object because of personal feelings, although I personally believe that people like you are not worthy of life, but I can't betray the laws of the country!" ”
Manan let out a long sigh: Heng Shuai, you are a good collar sleeve, and there will be hope for this country under your management. In fact, I also hope that the court will sentence me to death, at least this will serve as a wake-up call to others, I have followed you faithfully for so many years, and maybe, this is the only thing I can do for you. ”
"You don't deserve it." Wang Hengyue stood up: "You are not worthy!" ”
Manan was stunned, and he suddenly remembered that Heng Shuai also said this to Ah Biao on the day he killed Ah Biao:
"You don't have this qualification, who am I? Southwest Patrol Envoy! With hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in hand, and the power spanning the three provinces of Sichuan, Shen and Guizhou, my words can decide the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people You are a small tyrant, whose power is only a county that enriches the people, and only a few hundred families in his hands, humble as ants, what qualifications do you have to come and talk to me! ”
You don't deserve it!
Now Wang Hengyue, he doesn't need Ma Nan to tell him what to do. He has charted a right path for the country.
You don't deserve it! A corrupt official, no matter how capable you are, you are not qualified to speak!
The thief in your heart is released by yourself, and since you have released it, then you must bear this responsibility.
You are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, you are not qualified to swear what you are going to do, you are not worthy!. )
