Chapter 93: The Qing is self-cleaning
"No." Shi De shook his head, "There are many things, and what you see and hear may not be the truth you imagine. Just like history, sometimes history does not present all history, but just a part carefully selected by the so-called historians with ulterior motives. The history in your eyes is not the real history, but the history in the eyes of the historians, is history taken out of context, and is a history that is generalized from a partial perspective, such as Cai Lun..."
Cai Lun was a famous person in history and was famous both at home and abroad for improving papermaking. His papermaking became one of the four great inventions in ancient China and made great contributions to human civilization. American Mike Hart ranked Cai Lun sixth in the "Level of 100 Celebrities Influencing the Process of Human History", far ahead of everyone's well-known Columbus, Einstein and Darwin.
But in fact, Cai Lun, who was not only improving papermaking, had his political achievements and was not worth mentioning in terms of character. As a eunuch, he falsely accused other concubines of the empress. After the empress died, he immediately joined another empress. He served in the inner court throughout his life, served four young emperors, defected to two empresses, and rose step by step. He was a marquis and was honored by the nine ministers. He eventually committed suicide due to the false accusation case that year.
"Wait a minute..." Seeing that Shi De finished speaking and was about to disappear outside the door, he remembered Cai Lun's completeness and finally couldn't help but feel confused, "Shi De, do you want to defend Yue Guoliang?
When talking to smart people, you don’t have to say it clearly. Just click it and the other party can understand it. Shi De took back the steps he was about to take. He stood at the door and looked inside, and said sincerely: "I don’t know what prejudice Secretary Qi has towards Mayor Yue, but I believe that Secretary Qi’s view of Mayor Yue is neither comprehensive nor biased. Mayor Yue is not the kind of person Secretary Qi imagined."
"Who is he?" Qi Quan nodded and signaled Shi Dejin to speak. Although his face was still as gloomy as water, it was still a little relaxed compared to just now.
"It doesn't matter who Mayor Yue is, what's important is that he doesn't know who he is in the eyes of Secretary Qi." Shi De stepped into Qiquan's office and thought in his heart that it was so dangerous that he was almost expelled from the door for maintaining Yue Guoliang. This shows how bad Qiquan's impression of Yue Guoliang is. Therefore, he must first know where Qiquan's misunderstanding of Yue Guoliang is so as to prescribe the right medicine and eliminate Yue Guoliang's negative image in Qiquan's eyes. "Although Mayor Yue's study is not called Sizhitang, there is a couplet in his study, which somewhat shows his voice."
All who have always been interested in ancient poetry, once again, were successfully attracted by Shi De and asked: "What couplet?"
"The first couplet: bullying others is like bullying the heavens, don't deceive yourself. The second couplet: Betray the people and betray the country, how can you bear it? "Shi Deyiyi is determined to eliminate Qiquan's prejudice against Yueguoliang, not because he has a good relationship with Yueguoliang, but because he believes that good officials who are like Yueguoliang should hold a position. In this way, corrupt officials and mediocre officials have no chance to go up. This is the blessing of the country and the blessing of the people, and the deputy secretary of Qiquanqi who selects good officials for the country.
"Couplets are good couplets, but did Yue Guoliang do it?" Qi Quan's prejudice against Yue Guoliang has been around for a long time. It is impossible for him to change because of a couplet. He snorted softly, "Shi De, are you determined to excuse Yue Guoliang because you have a interests with him?"
"I have known Mayor Yue for more than half a year. I have been to his house many times. I have never brought a gift to him once, nor have I given him a penny," Shi De said firmly, "I excuse him not for my own interests, but for Secretary Qi's reputation and the interests of the people of the country."
"So, your aspirations are still noble?" Qi Quan smiled disapprovingly, "It's very open and upright in the name of my reputation."
Shi De could certainly hear the irony in Qiquan's words and smiled faintly: "I'm telling the truth, Secretary Qi, if in ancient times, you were equivalent to a member of the Ministry of Personnel, shouldering the heavy responsibility of selecting outstanding officials for the country, and with your character, you would definitely be appointing people based on your merits and talents rather than nepotism. If a good mayor who devoted his life to the construction and development of Dancheng, and was honest and self-disciplined, has been stuck in the position of deputy mayor. If he cannot move forward for more than ten years, what will the same sincere and down-to-earth Yu Jun think? What will the hundreds of thousands of people in Dancheng think? If Mayor Yue cannot be promoted, it means that Yu Jun who can be honest and can not go up, and Yu Jun who takes advantage of the opportunity will be promoted step by step. In the long run, if the official atmosphere in Yan Province continues to be corrupted by Mayor Yue's promotion, Secretary Qi will also affect your reputation.
After listening to Shi De's high remarks, Qi Quan didn't speak. After a moment of silence, he stood up and opened the window. It was winter, and the indoor heating was very sufficient, as warm as spring. Once the window was opened, the air conditioner quickly rushed into the room. It was stimulated by the air conditioner, which made people feel refreshed and even the spirit was cheered up.
It turns out that life is too comfortable, and work will be tiring. No wonder countless heroes no longer have ambitions when they arrive in Jiangnan. The climate is too comfortable and life is too comfortable, which will eliminate fighting spirit, gentleness, and heroic tombs. China's thousands of years of history has been threatened by the northern nations rather than the south, which is a very obvious problem.
"Yue Guoliang's work is worthy of recognition, but he instigated his children to use their power for personal gain in Dancheng. In a short period of time, Yue Qingying earned tens of millions of yuan, causing irreparable major losses to the country and the people. With this point, I don't agree to him to move forward." Qi Quan turned around and said to Shi De with a firm look, "Shi De, you should know better than me where Yue Qingying's money comes from. You say that what Yue Guoliang did is the act of a party member Yu Min who strictly disciplines himself?"
It turned out that the crux of the matter was here. Shi De breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Qi Quan's prejudice against Yue Guoliang was due to personal emotional prejudice and disapproval of Yue Guoliang's personal opinion. Now it seems that Qi Quan is quite fair. The reason why he stuck with Yue Guoliang's promotion was because Fu Rui had spread rumors that Yue Guoliang used his power to seek personal gain and embezzled tens of millions of public funds in the land of Sanxing Village.
Although Yue Guoliang later responded to the rumors at Shi De's suggestion and offset most of the rumors by the fact that Yue Qingying's assets inherited the inheritance of her grandparents, it was limited to the single city. It is estimated that Yue Guoliang's image was still negatively affected by the incident in the provincial party committee.
Even Qi Quan believed in this matter, and believed that the old leader of Yue Guoliang had a prejudice against Yue Guoliang because of this matter and was unwilling to promote Yue Guoliang to go further.
After thinking about this section, Shi De had to sigh that although Yue Guoliang won a great victory in the confrontation with Fu Rui, he was still hit by Fu Rui's counterattack. He was still deeply affected to this day. If he hadn't met Qi Quan unexpectedly, and if he hadn't speculated with Qi Quan, he would have never guessed the reason why Yue Guoliang could not be promoted, even Yue Guoliang himself would have been unable to understand.
There are many things in life that you can’t figure out, because you don’t know what other people’s misunderstandings about you, and you don’t have the opportunity to explain them clearly to him in person. Therefore, misunderstandings are like a gap between two people. There is no chance to fill it, nor is there a possibility of crossing the gap and shaking hands and making peace.
Behind Fu Rui is Du Qingxuan. So can it be said that Yue Guoliang's career is now blocked, or is it because of the subsequent influence left by Du Qingxuan's attack? Du Qingxuan is indeed amazing. A Fu Rui incident can actually affect Yue Guoliang's fortune for the rest of his life. If it weren't for his appearance, Yue Guoliang would probably have no hope of promotion forever.
The fortune master is indeed powerful. It can not only harm people invisibly, but also affect a person's life's ups and downs, and it does have the effect of seizing the creation of heaven and earth.
Seeing that Shi De didn't speak for a long time, Qi Quan thought Shi De had nothing to say, and sighed: "Shi De, I admire your talent very much, but talent does not equal character... Similarly, Yue Guoliang is also very capable, but if a person is not good at conduct, it is useless no matter how strong his ability is, because he does not have the ability, the greater the ability, the greater the harm, and it will be small, which will harm one side. It will harm the country and the people."
"Secretary Qi..." Shi De sat down freely, smiled faintly, and said calmly, "I won't talk about my character for now, just talk about Mayor Yue's character..."
Shi De first listed the big facts that Yue Guoliang has done in Dancheng over the years, and then changed the topic and talked about the source of Yue Qingying's property: "Yue Qingying has a very rich grandparent, and her grandparents only have Yue Qingying's mother, and after her grandparents passed away, the inheritance was adopted by Su Shu'e. Su Shu'e is low-key and has never told the outside world about her family background. Mayor Yue has no idea that he has a wife of a millionaire. The property under Su Shu'e's name was handed over to Yue Qingying's name after Yue Qingying became an adult... So, since Yue Qingying started doing business, she has become an absolute millionaire."
"Oh..." Qi Quan was moved by this, "Is this really the case?"
"If necessary, I can provide a legally recognized will and property certificate." Shi Deqiu saw Qiquan for the first time and felt more confident in his heart. "However, Mayor Yue has always been unwilling to disclose the affairs of his family to the outside world. When he was wronged and slandered and corruption of 10 million public funds, he was unwilling to use Yue Qingying's property to justify himself from inheritance. In his opinion, the clear one is clear and the turbid one is turbid. He does not need and does not need to explain anything to the person who poured dirty water on him..."
