"Hello, Grandpa." Li Yuanlang calmed down, took a few steps forward, bowed and saluted, and said hello politely to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu raised his eyelids and kept staring at him without any change in his expression. He let out a hum in his nose, which was regarded as a response to Li Yuanlang.

Li Yuanlang stood awkwardly in front of Mr. Gu. To be honest, he was really nervous. Not only were his palms full of sweat, but his front and back were also wet.

He was quickly arranging various combinations of words in his mind, and was about to say the second sentence. Mr. Gu stared at him for a long time, and suddenly asked: "If you have any ideas about being an official, you might as well tell me."

Before meeting Mr. Gu, Li Yuanlang thought about n questions to answer in his mind, most of which revolved around his relationship with Shui Tingyue. Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu went against common sense and asked him this topic.

Without any mental preparation, Li Yuanlang was speechless for a moment.

"What? Your young mind is so ill-informed. Or do you think you didn't understand what I said? Do you want me to repeat it again?"

Mr. Gu's thinking was quick, his voice was loud, he was confident, and his tone was sharp. He hit Li Yuanlang like an overwhelming wave of anger. He looked like an old man in his eighties. Looking at his energy and clarity of speech, he was no less than a young man.

Li Yuanlang thought for a while and summoned up the courage to say, "What do you mean by the way to be an official?"

"Have you ever heard of the theory of five senses?" Mr. Gu tapped his fingertips rhythmically on the armrests of the recliner.

Li Yuanlang observed that the row of bookcases behind Mr. Gu were filled with various books, and immediately thought of what he meant by the theory of five senses.

The theory of the five sense organs is definitely not the five organs of "ears, eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth". It is the theory of the five sense organs mentioned by Ji Xiaolan, a politician and writer in the Qing Dynasty, when he talked about the way to be an official.

So Li Yuanlang said: "The five sense organs say that those who enrich their own pockets are corrupt officials; those who protect themselves wisely are cowardly officials; those who form cliques for personal gain are traitorous officials; those who are corrupt and corrupt are corrupt officials; those who prey on the common people are evil officials. I don't know if my answer is correct, please

Please give me some advice."

"Oh? It seems that you have read a lot of books about being an official. The answer on the theory of five senses is quite accurate. So can you combine the theory of five senses and talk about your thoughts on being an official in the contemporary era." Li Yuanlang's answer obviously made Gu

The old man was very satisfied, his tone gradually became calmer, and his face was not as serious as before.

Li Yuanlang spoke eloquently: "Looking back at this period of history in the Qing Dynasty, the five senses represented by He Shen were good at flattering and flattering, to please Emperor Qianlong, and to be appreciated and promoted by Qianlong. But just five days after Qianlong's death,

Emperor Jiaqing decreed that He Shen should be dismissed from his post, imprisoned and his home confiscated. Fifteen days later, He Shen committed suicide with a white silk ribbon."

"It seems that He Shen gained power for a while, but ultimately failed to protect himself, leaving behind the reputation of being the most corrupt person in history. However, the loyal and honest officials represented by Ji Xiaolan seemed not to be taken seriously at the time, which goes against the five senses theory.

.However, because he adhered to the principle of loyalty, uprightness, and selflessness, he made the political achievement of compiling Sikuquanshu, and finally realized the highest Confucian realm of self-cultivation, family order, country governance, and world peace. From this point of view, how could the facial features at that time be achieved?

It can be called the way of being an official, but Ji Xiaolan is just mocking He Shen and other treacherous ministers and corrupt officials."

Li Yuanlang said so much in one breath, paused briefly, and at the same time observed Mr. Gu's reaction.

"Go on, keep talking." Mr. Gu looked at Li Yuanlang with great interest.

"We can learn about gains and losses by using people as a mirror, and we can know the ups and downs by using history as a mirror. In the new era, if the Qing Dynasty five-sensory theory is used as the way for current officials to serve as officials, it will eventually lead our officials to go astray, ruin their reputations, destroy the entire political ecology, and lead to the collapse of the party.

Subjugation of the country. Regarding the discussion of the true way to be an official, I think it is better to use the elimination method used when exploring the essence of socialism, that is, to be an official, do not learn from corrupt officials, ignorant officials, traitorous officials, corrupt officials, and evil officials. These five senses should be negated and eliminated.

After that, the opposites are honest officials, Confucian officials, capable officials, honest officials, and good officials. This is the real way to be an official."

Li Yuanlang took a breath and continued: "I think it should be confirmed by our party's governance of the party. Since ***, in the process of governing the party, our party has frequently swatted tigers and flies.

Officials show no mercy and insist on fighting against corruption and eradicating corruption. On the other hand, we continue to carry out the mass line, 'Three Stricts and Three Practicalities', 'Two Studies and One Action' and other learning and education. We will guide party members who are honest and pragmatic for the people.

The direction of the political trend is to establish a personnel orientation that promotes the capable and the mediocre. It can be said that the measures of party management through punishment and education explain the true way of being an official to party members and cadres at all levels. When serving as an official, one must not imitate corrupt officials, cowardly officials, and traitors.

Officials, corrupt officials, and evil views should be honest officials, Confucian officials, capable officials, honest officials, and good officials. Grandpa, I don’t know if these views of mine are correct, but I would like to listen to your teachings."

"The explanation was very comprehensive and thorough." Mr. Gu slowly stood up from the recliner, and Li Yuanlang hurried over to help him.

Mr. Gu waved his hand: "Don't look at me as I am old, but my body is not old enough to need help." The old man is of medium height, slightly thin, not hunched over, and has a very straight body.

"You speak better than Zhengchuan and the political platform. You are a township cadre who has such a deep understanding. It is really rare." The old man has a really good body. He feels windy when he walks, and his legs are strong, which is very difficult.

Imagine this is an eighty-year-old man.

He walked to the bookcase, picked up a book and said: "I have been reading ancient books recently, a habit I developed when I was young. Later, due to my busy work, I gave up this good habit. I like to read books and ponder while reading.

, thinking about the profound meaning of the author's words. Ji Xiaolan is an upright official. When I saw his five senses theory, I was wondering if his ideas could be integrated into our party's strict governance and corruption eradication? This problem has always troubled me.

Looking at me, I asked Zhengchuan and Zhenggan. These two bastards, maybe because they had been sitting in high positions for a long time, talked to me in official terms and gave me a report. I was so angry that I gave them both

Coaxed away." When Mr. Gu said this, his long white eyebrows came together, looking very unhappy.

Old kid, you are really showing off your skills right now, not exaggerated at all.

After a while, he added: "Actually, I'm just worrying about it. I'm not in my position and I don't plan for the government. But I am an old party member. I am deeply worried when I see those moths appearing in our party. Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it.

Zhou. The saying that the common people are like water is by no means as simple as saying it. During the war years, we relied on the support and support of the common people to overthrow the fatuous and corrupt Jiang Dynasty and establish a new democratic regime.

I remember the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although the country was very poor, the people were very motivated. What did they rely on? It relied on the common determination of everyone to work together and work towards a better life. What about now? Some of our cadres are aloof and disengaged.

He lost the masses and regarded himself as an official. Not only did he commit corruption, but he also usurped the interests of the common people. Isn’t there that saying in society? In the past, it was red rice and pumpkin soup, with a wife and a bunch of children. Now it is white rice soup with bastards.

One child and a bunch of wives. It sounds funny, but it is actually sad. The common people's jingles often reflect their dissatisfaction with the current situation of our party. In the past dynasties, every dynasty changed because of the anger and resentment of the people. Alas!" The old man sighed!

With a sound, he looked out the window with stern eyes and said to himself: "It has only been a few decades since the founding of our party, and such serious problems have arisen, which is thought-provoking."

Mr. Gu continued by himself: "They came to see me a year ago, and I was not polite and told them all that was in my heart. Fortunately, our core team is also aware of this problem and is working hard to strengthen the party's correct leadership.

We must crack down on corruption and put an end to unhealthy tendencies. No matter which level or person is involved, as long as they make a mistake, they will be severely punished. It is not too late to remedy the situation before it is too late."

Listening to the old man's words of concern for the country and the people, Li Yuanlang was quite touched and deeply moved.

He said excitedly: "Grandpa, you really taught me a good lesson today. I have never heard such profound and meaningful teachings since I entered my official career. It is truly worthy of my study."

"Young man, don't put a high hat on me. I'm just a lonely old man. I just talk about things and speak my mind. How can I rise to such a high level?" Mr. Gu said this, and he could clearly feel his expression.

Gentle and gentle, the mood is comfortable. Everyone is willing to listen to good words, not to mention Li Yuanlang's words are sincere and heartfelt, even if they are suspected of flattery. However, the filming is not obvious, and it is very comfortable to listen to.

Only then did Mr. Gu wave his hand for Li Yuanlang to sit down. He returned to the recliner and talked face to face with Li Yuanlang.

Since Li Yuanlang solved Mr. Gu's doubts, the rest of the conversation was relatively relaxed. It turned out that Mr. Gu's stern face was all a show to show Li Yuanlang. He had to overwhelm him in terms of momentum. But it didn't work out. Li Yuanlang cleverly

With his eloquent answers, he was able to completely solve a difficult problem that had been troubling him for a long time.

The old man was in a good mood, and then he asked about Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue.

Li Yuanlang talked about his relationship with Shui Tingyue from the beginning of college to the present. He did not hide everything that happened in the middle. Including that he had an unsuccessful marriage and Gu Hongyan broke them up. He told them everything one by one.

came out.

This was not a case of Li Yuanlang snitching on people behind his back. He knew very well that in front of Mr. Gu, he could never hide anything, let alone tell lies.

Anyone who has reached this position is a genius. They will find loopholes in your eyes, your expression and the speed of your speech, and then judge whether what you say is what you mean.

"Hongyan is my only daughter. I've doted on her since she was a child and let her develop this bad habit of hating the poor and loving the rich. I just tore you apart. Fortunately, you were able to get together in the end. It's a blessing in disguise.
