I better take a shower first, because when I faced the book "Historical Records" at this time, I felt almost a kind of piety in my heart.
I started reading from the Wu Taibo Family and the Qi Taigong Family. When I finished reading this article about the Wu Taibo Family, I felt something in my heart. This story is about——
Taibo Wu was the founding king of the Kingdom of Wu, and he was also the uncle of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. Because Wu Taibo's father loved Ji Chang and believed that he had saintly virtues, he wanted to pass it on to him through his father. Ji Chang's father was the third son.
, according to the traditional inheritance law, he was not qualified to ascend the throne. So the Taibo and his younger brother Zhong Yong voluntarily gave up their inheritance rights, ran to a barbarian and desolate land, got tattoos to cut off their aspirations, and gave up the throne to them.
His younger brother Ji Li was successfully passed into the hands of Ji Chang. After Wu Taibo arrived in the wilderness, he also used his own talents to establish the Kingdom of Wu.
Time keeps flowing. Hundreds of years later, the story begins to play out again. This time the king is called Shou Meng. He has four sons. The youngest son is called Jizha, who is also the most virtuous. Shou Meng takes the throne
It was passed to Jizha, but he refused to agree to the death. His brothers did not escape and abdicate like Wu Taibo and Zhong Yong. However, in order to fulfill their father's wish, they broke the inheritance law and had a younger brother. They wanted to pass this
In this way, the throne was finally passed to Jizha. But when several brothers died one after another, the virtuous Jizha still refused to succeed to the throne. He fled the position again. There was no other way, so everyone discussed giving up the throne.
The son of the third son who was finally the king came to be the king, but the son of the eldest son was a little unwilling. He thought that since this wise uncle refused to be the king, the throne should be passed back to him.
He has always kept this thought in his heart, so he came up with the famous assassin Zhuan Zhu, his famous fish intestine sword and the thrilling assassination story. This Zhuan Zhu was introduced to Gongzi Guang by Wu Zixu, who is also the history of Wu State.
In this story, Zhuan Zhu repays Wu Zixu’s kindness, Gong Ziguang successfully becomes the king, and Wu Zixu also completes his revenge plan with the help of He Lu. It seems that everyone has achieved it.
your own wishes.
The abdication of Taibo and Jizha was regarded by Confucians as a high-spirited and upright act, which could be described as a manifestation of "the highest virtue".
But I think that Taibo and Jizha are undoubtedly extremely smart people. They have fully seen themselves, the current situation, and what they want to pursue and get. They have chosen their own.
A piece of sky also preserves the flesh-and-blood relationships between fathers and sons, brothers, uncles and nephews, and prevents them from falling in love with each other or killing each other.
In the history of the Kingdom of Wu, there was another very famous king, the son of Helu - King Wu Fucha. What we know more about him is that he allowed Wu Zixu, who served the country loyally, to die with resentment, and favored him.
The sycophantic minister Bo Chu doted on the spy Xi Shi, and all of this was enough to make him a king of subjugation. In fact, Fu Chai was also brave and shrewd back then. In order to avenge his father, he worked hard to conquer Yue in three years; and then continued his efforts to the west.
Defeat the powerful Chu, and dominate the Central Plains with Northern Wei and Qi Jin. When his merits were enough to glorify his ancestors, Fu Chai showed to the world his eccentric personality of being overjoyed with achievements, refusing to be remonstrated and pretending to be wrong, and being violent and ungrateful. The most fatal thing was that he fell into
Fan Li's carefully designed beauty trap gradually leads to destruction.
The following stories about the aristocratic family are very exciting, and they are also very alarming after reading them. The core sentence of the article about Chen She’s aristocratic family, "Would princes, generals, and ministers rather have their own kind?", for future generations.
The struggle of the poor provides a powerful spiritual force, and the Goujian family of Yue King tells more than just the story of "suffering hardships by sleeping on the salary". What I also see in it is Fan Li's wisdom-you cannot make the mistake of having great achievements that destabilize the master.
After simply reading through this part of the article about the family, I feel that I have gained more. "Historical Records" records some real historical figures and historical stories, but I can completely understand from the stories of those historical figures.
The root cause of their success or failure.
Could it be that Secretary Fang asked me to read "Historical Records", especially the part about aristocratic families? Because the stories of emperors in "Historical Records" are obviously not applicable to me, and the stories of the rangers are also inconsistent with my reality.
There is a huge difference, and only the people and things in the aristocratic family part are closer to the reality of our officialdom today.
Or perhaps, Secretary Fang’s words were not meant for me alone at all, but he was telling everyone present at the time: You should all read it.
That may be the case. As the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, any of his words should have a different meaning.
Two days later, my suspicion seemed to have been confirmed.
That night, we hosted a banquet for provincial government leaders in Shangjiang City. Secretary Rong and I arrived at the hotel an hour early. When Secretary Rong and I met, after we chatted for a few words, Secretary Rong smiled and asked
I said: "Mayor Feng, have you read "Historical Records"?"
My heart suddenly moved, and I immediately said: "I have read it before, but only in general. After Secretary Fang spoke that day, I went back and started reading it from the beginning again. Secretary Rong, are you reading it too?"
She smiled and nodded: "I've seen it before, and it's similar to your situation. I just saw it and didn't understand it seriously. In the past two days, I mainly watched the part about the family, and I found it very rewarding. The success of those historical figures in it
and failure are actually very reasonable and worth learning from."
I thought to myself: It seems that my analysis is quite similar, otherwise why would Secretary Rong read that book? And I estimate that most of the people present that day must have been reading that book in the past two days.
There is a greater possibility that Secretary Fang hopes to use that occasion to send a message to other cadres to read the book.
The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee is a person with absolute authority and power. His every move, including every word he says, will be valued by the people below, so his words that night will definitely be passed on.
Among the leaders attending the dinner that night was the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee General Office. His job is to understand every intention of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary. If my guess is correct, then in a short period of time, we will
"Historical Records" in Xinhua bookstores across the province will be sold out.
This is what happens in official circles: if the secretary of the provincial party committee mentioned this book on one occasion, it means that it is this book that he often reads. Then, he will probably mention this book when he inspects the cadres below in the future.
Some of the content in it. People in official circles are the best at seizing opportunities. Many people will think like this: Being prepared is a must.
Moreover, from the perspective of officialdom habits, lower-level leaders will also use the content in "Historical Records" to inspect lower-level cadres. In the final analysis, following the trend is another form of taking sides.
If the leader of a unit likes to play tennis, the sport of tennis will definitely form a craze in the unit. There used to be many people in our country who liked to play bridge, and that was because Comrade Xiaoping liked that kind of entertainment. The reason for this
it's the same.
Now, the vague uneasiness that existed in my heart has completely disappeared, but I will definitely start to study that book. Not only to learn some useful things from it, but also to be prepared. I must do it
So be prepared to ask me questions again next time Secretary Fang sees me.
Of course, I know very well that as a mayor, the most important thing is political performance.
Starting next year and within the next two or three years, the results of our work will be fully reflected. And this period is also the stage when things are most likely to go wrong. This is true everywhere, and even in our entire society. During the construction period,
During the transition period, it is the stage where various contradictions are most likely to emerge and conflict. Therefore, we will face not only development issues, but also the task of maintaining the stability of Shangjiang City.
Since I came to work in Shangjiang City, there have been several major incidents. Fortunately, each time they were resolved without any danger. But I know very well that we will face more problems and difficulties in the future.
, because as the reform deepens, the interests of more people will definitely be affected, so the outbreak of various contradictions will become inevitable.
Judging from the previous situation, every conflict broke out suddenly, and there seemed to be no warning before that, so every time we rushed into battle and were exhausted in the end.
But after the previous incidents, I now have a feeling in my heart, that is: in fact, such things can be controlled and prevented from breaking out. In the final analysis, it is not easy to do this.
Complex, that is, we should always consider people’s livelihood issues, especially paying attention to and caring about the poorest people. (To be continued)
