Chapter 730 Construction of the rule of law
"President, all the Japanese war criminals sentenced to death have been guillotined and executed a week ago, and all the other war criminals sentenced to life imprisonment have been escorted to the capital and imprisoned in prisons! This is the end of our mission at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and we have been disbanded, and I am here today to report to the President! ”
After listening to Qin Liankui's report, Xiao Zhenlei affirmed the achievements of Qin Liankui and other judges and legal staff who went to Japan to set up the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, "Judge Qin, you have done a good job this time, not only presiding over international justice on behalf of our country, but also promoting our national prestige, and this experience is also a rare resume for you. After the war in Europe is over, the Entente side will definitely set up a European International Military Tribunal to try German and Austrian war criminals, you have this rare experience, but it is also a very good advantage, I will recommend you to join the formation of the European International Military Tribunal at that time! ”
Qin Liankui was very happy, and hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you for the great president's cultivation, we will definitely not forget the great president's great cultivation!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand and said: "It's not me who cultivates you, it's the people who need you, that's why the country will cultivate you!" You have been cultivated by the state, and you are supposed to serve the people and be loyal to the people, you know? ”
Qin Liankui immediately straightened down and said, "Yes, I understand!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei said: "In recent years, the work of the political and legal departments has gradually improved, but it is not enough, you want to enforce the law, first of all, you must let the people have a sense of the law, and the people themselves will abide by the law when they have a sense of law, and now many people are still legally blind, they don't know what the law is." What are the contents of the law, they only know the king's law. Their criterion for judging whether or not they have violated the royal law is based on morality, not law. This shows that your work is not in place, and if you want the people to abide by the law, you have to make them understand the law, so how do you make them understand the law? This is your job, you have to think more, do more, think about it, you have to do it, you have to publicize it! ”
Qin Liankui hurriedly agreed: "Yes." Humble duty understands! ”
"It has been five or six years since the establishment of the new government, and in recent years, the law enforcement in various parts of our country has largely been carried out in accordance with the practice of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there must have been a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases in various places, although I don't know how many, but I am sure that there are definitely a lot, and the local government has always been more than one thing is better than one less, and it is not realistic to expect them to retry the cases that have already been tried, but we are afraid that it is not realistic, but we are a responsible government. Since there are cases of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, it is necessary to find ways and make great efforts to rehabilitate those unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and the departments concerned must adopt a responsible attitude and be conscientious, and they must start from the center. Only if the upper echelons are serious, the lower levels will be serious, and if we don't take it seriously at the center. Then the localities below will have to get by, and the center must take the whip to drive them to take seriously any work related to people's livelihood and suffering! ”
"It's just so that you're back this time. I wonder if the political and legal departments should set up some inspection teams and send them to various parts of the country to inspect cases in various places over the years. In all cases where the evidence is insufficient and there are doubtful points, the courts in all localities should be urged to find new clues and try them anew. In addition, some circuit courts should be set up, and all cases of civil complaints against officials will be accepted, and this situation must become the norm, and it cannot be done today or tomorrow, which is not good! ”
"Okay!" Qin Liankui agreed, but said, "Isn't it a bit redundant to just organize a circuit court?" It is not impossible for ordinary people to sue officials, and people everywhere can go to a higher court to sue local officials! Besides, it doesn't follow the procedure."
Xiao Zhenlei shook his head and said: "It seems that you have never been to a local place to take up a post, you don't know the local situation, the common people don't understand the officialdom at all, they don't understand the procedures for people to sue officials, and the higher-level courts are in big cities, you let a peasant go to a big city where he is not familiar with his life to sue the officials, don't you let them be blind?" The organization of circuit courts does not violate the relevant systems and procedures, but the relevant systems do not state this, it does not mean that you cannot do so, you can not be tied by the system when you do your work, as long as the work is strong and beneficial to the country and the people, you should not follow the rules, and adopt flexible means without violating the system and procedures! ”
Qin Liankui stood up and said: "Yes, I understand the humble position!" ”
"Any good policy needs people to implement, if the implementation of the person is not effective, do not understand the original intention, the original intention, even the best policy is not only not good for the people, but also may cause adverse reactions! Therefore, when you choose people to carry out, you must choose the right people."
"Yes!"
Xiao Zhenlei has always wanted to put some effort into the rule of law, because he knows that many of the officials at all levels and officials of various localities and departments, as well as their staff and law enforcement personnel, are left over from the Manchu and pre-Qing dynasties, and this is also something that there was no way to do at the beginning, and there was a serious shortage of officials and law enforcement personnel at the beginning, so many officials and law enforcement personnel from the Manchu and Yuan Shikai periods had to be retained.
In fact, Xiao Zhenlei also knows that even if they are ideologically educated officials and law enforcement personnel, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to serve the country wholeheartedly without any selfishness, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not go down the evil road.
Xiao Zhenlei thinks that it is time to tighten the rope in his hand, otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with after a long time, the reason why he wants to do this is also forced by the reality of the situation, just two days ago, someone sued at the door of the presidential palace, where can he not sue? Why did you come to the capital to sue the royal court? Since he can come to sue the royal court, there must be a great grievance, otherwise no one would want to suffer this crime.
Not only two days ago, in the past few years, people have often come to the presidential palace to sue the royal complaint, and every time a big problem has been found, and this year's sue for the royal complaint is particularly frequent, which also makes Xiao Zhenlei realize that the problem of official governance is a bit serious, and he must make a heavy punch.
The next day, Xiao Zhenlei went to the Supreme Court to attend the meeting, which was attended by Supreme Justice Shen Bingzhen and all the members of the judicial team.
Xiao Zhenlei's personal participation in this meeting has already explained the importance of this meeting, and none of Shen Bingzhen, Qin Liankui, and the members of the judicial corps dare to be careless.
Shen Bingzhen said: "This time we convened this meeting to discuss how to increase the publicity of the people's legal awareness, and how to increase the crackdown on violations of laws and regulations by various departments from top to bottom!" The President has personally come to participate this time just to point out the direction of our work, and everyone is welcome."
A burst of fierce applause rang out, Xiao Zhenlei pressed his hands with a straight face, and after the applause stopped, he said: "I can only point out a general direction, and you still need to do the specific work." It has been five or six years since the establishment of the new government, and we have been paying attention to political, military, and economic development over the years, and we have less energy on the rule of law, and when our new government was established, we retained many officials and law enforcement personnel from the Manchu Qing and Yuan Shikai periods, and now these people are slowly corrupting our comrades and the regime that we have established through all difficulties, and now we have reached a certain degree of political stability, economic and military development. It is also time to remove and replace these officials and law enforcement officers who have hindered the development of the country, not only to remove them, but also to hold them legally responsible, and to give a warning to other officials and law enforcement officers who have crooked thoughts but have not yet embarked on that road, we must always maintain the purity of our ranks and escort the country to a healthy development, this is our purpose, and from now on, we must always maintain this strength! ”
"Of course, many of those people have not asked for the people's good officials and law enforcement officers, for these people, we must not only continue to retain them, but also reuse, only political clarity, can the people's hearts be attached, our cause will have a future! The first to be taken down are those who use their power for personal gain! After this stage, and then take down those corpse vegetarian people, now we are not short of officials, so for those who do not seek politics in their positions, we must gradually take them out, now many departments are obviously only one person can do things, but arrange two or several, why raise so many idlers? We eat and wear all from the people to pay taxes, are their hard-earned money, but there are so many idlers, we have to clean up those who are incapable, only know how to mess around, only leave the people who are really for the people, willing to work, hard work, of course, we can't let our comrades eat chaff, since we have lofty ideals, while serving the people, we must also take care of family and relatives, improve the treatment of our comrades, these are the general direction I specified! ”
Shen Bingzhen continued: "Since the president has pointed out the general direction for us, then we will work around this general direction!" Now that everyone is talking about their thoughts, what can we do to start? ”
Qin Liankui raised his hand and said: "Then let me say it first, I think we can start with the cases that have been tried and concluded over the years, but there are doubts in the evidence and reason, or the evidence is insufficient, and these cases will be retriedWe must strictly enforce the procedures, and for the cases that bypass the relevant procedures and are tried, we must also conduct important examinations, and we must set up a special inspection team to send them to various localities to urge the relevant local departments to retry these cases, and my opinion is so much for the time being!
