After Liu Xue left, Wang Guorui met with a person again, but this person was a man. This man is about forty years old, and he is in the prime of life for most of the officials of the era. In addition to Wang Guorui's red police cheat, this allowed him to become an emperor at a young age, and led a large group of young people to the top. However, this is not a normal phenomenon, and after a long period of peace, I am afraid that the central officials will be the mainstream in their forties. And this guy still looks like he's in the prime of life.

"Mr. Yunjie, how have you been these days? It's okay, right? Wang Guorui asked.

And the man about forty years old immediately knelt down and said; "Your Majesty, the sinners are terrified!"

"Arise, we have abolished the prostration ceremony. And you are not a criminal minister, at least you did not help the Manchus to do too much evil, and you were able to surrender voluntarily in the end, so you were not sent to court. However, under normal circumstances, you may have to be a commoner from now on, or go to some idle job to retire. Wang Guorui said.

And this middle-aged man couldn't help but feel bitter, because he was from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed by Wang Guorui, the governors of all places also announced their support for Wang Guorui and changed their flags. But he was unlucky, he was in Shaanxi and Gansu, his previous position was the Gansu political envoy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the governor of Gansu was a Manchu, so naturally he could not take the initiative to take refuge. He was coerced into resistance by the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and then finally surrendered voluntarily when he was about to fail. And this made him feel helpless, but he also knew that there was no place for him in this court.

His reputation is not as well-known as that of the Westernists like Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, and his previous status in the Manchu court was only a political envoy, and in terms of his rank and power, he was nothing more than a deputy provincial cadre. One level lower than the governor. Therefore, if this kind of position wants to be arranged at the same level, then I am afraid that Wang Guorui's old subordinates will not allow him to occupy a provincial-level official position. And if the level arrangement is lowered, it is not suitable, so his level is the least embarrassing position. So the best thing to do is to either resign directly. Then get a pension with Wang Guorui and go to retire. Either that is, to go to an idle job for retirement, and completely fade out of politics in this life.

However, he thought that he was only thirty-nine years old, so he was naturally unwilling to retire like this. But he is not embarrassed or embarrassed by himself, and he first wants to ask to see Wang Guorui, the new emperor, but he is not qualified enough. If it is a Manchu Qing veteran of the level of Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, then he may be able to let Wang Guorui meet him. But he, a political envoy who is not embarrassed or embarrassed, is too low. If he, the political envoy, is qualified, then many people will be qualified.

But he didn't expect it. Wang Guorui actually sent someone to Gansu to invite him over, which surprised him.

"Do you want to reuse it for me? Impossible? The middle-aged man thought to himself.

This middle-aged man thought of many ideas, that is, there are many possibilities. Maybe Wang Guorui was going to use him for the knife, but he didn't know when he offended Wang Guorui. But if you don't use him for the knife, what will you do? Reuse him? However, he himself quickly denied this answer, thinking that his small political envoy was nothing to Wang Guorui, the emperor. Maybe Wang Guorui will deliberately let some Manchu ministers as some official positions, as a political vase. But this can't be his turn as a little political envoy!

There are more people than he is qualified to be a political vase. Which one of Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong is not more qualified than him? So there are more people who can be more qualified than him to be this political vase, so he doesn't think he is qualified. As for the reuse of real power. This made him dare not even think about it.

"Lao Cen! How do you say you're doing now? I don't want to hide it, I do break up and reuse you, but I also want to see what you think! Wang Guorui said.

"Oh? Reuse me? That "Lao Cen" was also suddenly shocked, this is a pie in the sky!

And then, Wang Guorui continued: "I plan to set up an Independent Commission Against Corruption, and you will be the director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption!" ”

"The Independent Commission Against Corruption? The right to supervise? The old Cen immediately asked in surprise.

This Lao Cen also obviously knows the system set up by Wang Guorui. And this system revolves around three big powers and two sub-powers to mechanic the cow. The three major powers are the legislative and judicial administration, while the lower ones are the examination power and the supervision power. However, even if it is a subordinate power, it is one of the highest powers, and it cannot be easily ignored. Especially if they don't interfere with each other, he allows them to have a more independent management environment. Nothing will be a big problem.

And this Independent Commission Against Corruption is obviously eating the power of supervision, which is the duty of the supervisory officer. From the perspective of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, as the name suggests, it is actually to supervise whether officials can be honest and honest, whether they can not be corrupt and accept bribes and other violations of professional ethics.

The reason why Wang Guorui named this supervisory body the Integrity Office is actually to specifically supervise whether officials are honest and whether they maintain the important situation of integrity. As for the personal character of the officials and those professional abilities, that is, they are handed over to the examination institute to be responsible, and if the person with poor professional ability is selected and then out of the basket, that is, the person recommended by the examination institute must bear a certain degree of joint and several liability. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is responsible for maintaining integrity and ensuring that officials are clean and corrupt from taking bribes.

Wang Guorui believes that corruption is more serious than ordinary capacity problems, and if it is only an accident caused by capacity problems, it can be remedied in many cases, and its impact is limited. Some people say that corrupt people are capable, but this is actually a fallacy in Wang Guorui's eyes. Wang Guorui does not deny that some bad people are capable, and they can't commit crimes without ability! But it still depends on what he uses his ability, which is the biggest problem. Even later generations Wang Guorui heard a situation in the university, virtuous and talented college students are excellent products, and virtuous and non-virtuous are inferior products. No virtue is a waste product, and a talent but no virtue is a dangerous product. Therefore, if a person has no morality, the higher his talent will be, and the greater the harm to society in the end.

The same is true for corrupt officials, if a corrupt official has talent, but uses it for his own profit, then how much of his talent is used in governing for the people? If a corrupt official sits in a position, he will be far more destructive than a mediocre official. Even if a mediocre official is official, even if he is a fool, even if the local economy and various undertakings cannot develop, at least he will not cause much damage. However, those corrupt officials are different, corrupt officials may not be able to do so, but the greater the ability, the greater the destructive power. And the destruction he caused was to treat the local resources as his own, and then squander them to gain wealth for himself. And the more capable it is, the more destructive it will be in the end. Therefore, it is a completely false proposition to say that capable corrupt officials, because the destructive power they cause is greater than that of those officials who are mediocre and do not do anything. A corrupt official may have as much destructive power as a hundred mediocre officials, or even more.

Therefore, Wang Guorui mainly arrests corrupt officials, not those mediocre officials. It is unrealistic to expect to find out all the mediocre officials. However, we must find out those corrupt officials and have absolutely zero tolerance, so as to ensure the integrity of our subordinate officials.

"Your Majesty, why did you let me?" The old Cen asked.

It stands to reason that such an important position is one of the highest five rights, but Wang Guorui actually gave it to a person who had served in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so this is simply incredible. However, Wang Guorui's words made him understand.

"Those guys, they know each other too well!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui's statement completely made him understand. Wang Guorui's statement is actually very simple, if you let your subordinates supervise other subordinates, then in the end, maybe the left hand supervises the right hand, can you supervise something? If Wang Guorui allowed his cronies, whether they were from the Democratic Restoration Party or the Huafu Party, to serve as the director of this integrity office, judging from the fact that they came from the same system, it would be impossible to expect them to supervise each other. So this is actually just an official protecting each other.

Why is it that the ancient imperial history was theoretically to supervise officials, but in the end it was useless? In fact, in the final analysis, those ancient imperial histories themselves were also one of the bureaucrats, and letting people within the bureaucracy supervise the bureaucracy is not just letting the left hand Su supervise the right hand, is this useful? As a result, the ancient imperial history became a tool for bureaucrats to fight against each other, and there was no real supervisory role at all.

Therefore, if Wang Guorui let his subordinates who were from the same party be in charge of the supervision of the family, then he would definitely not be able to supervise anything. At that time, Wang Guorui is afraid that it will not be long before the bureaucratic system will decay, and it will soon decay.

Therefore, it is beneficial to supervise this official from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to put this official in charge. Because they do not have much intersecting influence with this bureaucratic system under their control, they are naturally not afraid of his vigorous supervision, will not be affected too much, and are not afraid of any kind of pressure. Therefore, Wang Guorui of this Lianzhen Office asked this Lao Cen, who was born in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to be responsible for the formation and management, that is, he hoped to free himself from the kind of relationship network with his subordinates, avoid being influenced by each other, and finally let them protect each other.
