The "Sui Shu Liu Yu Biography" records the story of Liu Yu's courage to speak out, honesty and integrity.
At that time, the assassins were mostly held by military generals, most of whom were incompetent, and it was even more excessive to have an old minister named Heganzi. Therefore, Liu Yu went up to the emperor and said: "Fushimi Edict, the above pillar kingdom and ganzi are the history of the Qizhou Thorn, whose age is eighty, and the bell ringing is exhausted." The former Zhao Zhou, secretly in his position, the government was small, bribed the public, the people shouted, and the songs were full of songs. NaiYun: 'Old Grass does not kill early, and the remaining seeds are fertile and fertile.' "The good is spared."
A good one "old grass does not kill early, the rest of the seeds of good land"! Literally, it means that if the first rice left in the field is not cut off early, the rice grains it falls will inevitably make the fertile fields barren. In the official arena, Liu Yu's quotation of this sentence is quite meaningful. If "laohe" like Heganzi is not removed early, it will continue to be a blessing in disguise, so that the bad work style can be nurtured, and "the people will cry bitterly and complain."
"Whoever wants to flow far will dredge his fountain, and he who thinks of the peace of the country will accumulate his virtue and righteousness." This story also tells us that to improve the political style and establish a clean wind, we must clean it up from the source. If the source is not cleaned up, it will be difficult to achieve a clean and political haiyan river and a clean wind.
When Pei Zhi was an official in the Sui Dynasty, he was known for sneaking around and patting horses. However, in the Tang Dynasty, he was unusual, often expressing different opinions on the government and politics, and even dared to argue with Tang Taizong in person, becoming a loyal and courageous courtier. Sima Guang sighed in this regard: "Junming is straight, and Pei Zhiyu is in Sui and slandered in Tang, but his nature has changed." When Jun le heard of it, it became a slander; if JunLe heard it, it became a slander..." The change of Pei Zhi shows from another side that only by cleaning up the "Lao He" from the source can the ecology of the official field be pure and the upright officials be able to make a difference. As the saying goes: "The scenery of the husband who watches the song will be evil, and the source of the purity will be pure." ”
The official corruption at the end of the Ming Dynasty was inseparable from the fact that many "Lao He" were in charge. At that time, the court ministers set up their own portals, formed gangs and factions, and set up parties for personal gain, and you fought for each other, attacking each other, and the official field was dark. Xue Yandao wrote a satire of scattered songs: "One by one snakes swallow elephants, one rabbit chases roe deer, and one by one sells dogs and hanging sheep." ”
"Old grass does not kill early, the remaining seeds of filthy fertile land" is about natural ecology, but behind it is the reflection of political ecology.
Today we often say that political ecology, like natural ecology, is prone to pollution if you pay a little attention, and once there is a problem, you have to pay a great price. If there is a problem with the natural ecology, it will create a situation of "dirty and fertile land". If there is a problem in the political ecology, the internal atmosphere will be corrupted, the political environment will be bad, and such a run-off and dripping and derailment will occur, which will cause great harm to the health of the party's body and seriously damage the party's work style, government style, social style, and people's style.
"If you see evil, as a farmer's business goes to the grass, and if you worship it, and if you do not root it, and do not make it possible to breed, then the good will believe." We must purify the political ecology and thoroughly promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party, and an important aspect is to remove the "old grass" and its "residual species." The "LaoHe" mentioned here is mainly a corrupt official in the past, and the "residual seed" refers to its poisonous influence.
Taken together, the poisonous influence of corrupt officials is one at the ideological level and one at the organizational level. Many corrupt officials are mostly leading cadres, and some are still "number one," and although they have been investigated and punished, the outdated concepts and habitual thinking they flaunt and like are still there. Many of these thoughts are "gray", "sub-healthy", and even "destroying the three views". If we do not clean up from the ideological level and occupy the ideological position of party members and cadres without a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values, some people may follow their old path, and even cause the phenomenon of "corruption before and after" will be caused.
The purging at the ideological level requires education and guidance and ideological confrontation; although there is no smoke of gunfire, it requires meticulous effort; the purging at the organizational level involves the selection and employment of personnel, and it requires a lot of effort. Many corrupt officials have a common feature, that is, they engage in gangs and gangs, not people in their own circles. If we do not completely eliminate their poisonous influence from the organizational point of view, those small hills and small circles will continue to exist, and at a certain time they will stir up trouble and cause a negative impact on the political ecology of a unit. In this way, it is difficult to form a political green water and green mountains. Only by comprehensively purging the organization, correcting the wrong people, bulldozing the small hills that have been established, and repairing the damaged political ecology can we improve the general climate of a place and form a clean and healthy political environment.
The old grass is clean, and the fertile fields are abundant. Pure political ecology, we may wish to broaden our thinking and find a way out from the improvement of natural ecology.
