Pure heart is incorruptible, straight is Geng. Since ancient times, honesty and honesty have been the people's call for fairness and justice; clean officials and honest officials can be called the credibility and value criterion of the times. Zhang Boxing, a famous Qing Dynasty courtier who served in a prosperous and rich place all his life, was clean and self-righteous, and left a sharp-tongued essay to swear to be a clean and honest person and be frank and honest as an official.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has mentioned Zhang Boxing on different occasions. What exactly did that famous essay say? In the dirty official arena at that time, how did Zhang Boxing be cautious and single-handed? The Fourth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is about to be held, and what new enlightenment do we have to revisit the story of Zhang Boxing? This issue of "The Story Told by Xi Jinping" tells you the story.
Zhang Boxing spent most of his life as an official in a prosperous and rich place, but he always lived a simple life and maintained a cold and Confucian nature.
General Secretary Xi Jinping told the story of Zhang Boxing when he was investigating and guiding the party's mass line education and practice activities in Lankao County, Henan Province. The general secretary said: "In the history of Lankao, there was a famous Qing official Zhang Boxing. He successively served as the Inspector of Fujian, the Inspector of Jiangsu, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and in order to refuse gifts from all sides, he specially wrote a "Gift Text". ”
This sharp-tongued article can be said to have thrown a large stone into the calm lake, which produced a huge chain effect.
After Zhang Boxing was transferred to Jiangsu, he first ordered that the laying of official offices be prohibited, and his official residence was even more four walls and poorly furnished, with only a small table and a pair of beds.
When Zhang Boxing came to Suzhou to serve as an envoy to Jiangsu, due to the corruption of the official environment at that time, he was forced to send gifts to the governor and inspector. Zhang Boxing was unwilling to do this, he said that I never took a penny from the officials and the people, where can I do such a thing?
In 1711, the results of the Jiangnan Township Examination posted in the Jiangnan Gongyuan triggered the famous "Xin Di Jiangnan Scientific Expedition Case" in history. In that year, there were many salt merchants who bribed the examiners. More than a thousand members gathered in anger, and public opinion was in an uproar.
Zhang Boxing suspected that the case involved the governor of Liangjiang, Gari, and played it in anger. Unexpectedly, he was impeached by Kali at the same time.
When the news of Zhang Boxing's dismissal came out, the local people were indignant and went on strike one after another, and many people flocked to the inspector's gate to offer vegetables and fruits, demanding that Zhang Boxing accept the people's wishes.
After examination at every level, the Qing official Zhang Boxing remained as the inspector of Jiangsu, while Ka Li was dismissed from his post and investigated. The people rejoiced.
Zhang Bo acted as an official for more than forty years, and was known for his honesty and love for the people, building schools for the people, quelling famine, suppressing the powerful, rectifying the rule of officials, and finally becoming a generation of famous courtiers.
We are now revisiting the story of Zhang Boxing told by the general secretary, mainly to encourage our vast number of party members and cadres to establish a correct view of political achievements, take strict precautions from small sections, and behave in a clean and innocent manner, do things cleanly, and become officials frankly and frankly.
