Zhang Yue, the "King of Politics and Law" in Hebei, had only two poisons in front of him

Written by | heart sounds

Today, Zhang Yue, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, was dismissed for serious violations of discipline.

The circular shows that Zhang Yue violated political discipline, organizational discipline, honesty discipline, work discipline, and life discipline. In the party disciplinary regulations, Zhang Yue violated 5 of the 6 disciplines, and the secretary of the political and legal committee can be described as "all five poisons".

On January 1 this year, the Regulations on Disciplinary Punishment of the Communist Party of China came into effect. Before Zhang Yue, only two "entries" for violating discipline were comparable to or better, namely Deng Qilin, former party secretary and chairman of Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Company (violating all 6 items) and Lu Xiwen, former deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee (violating five disciplines of politics, organization, integrity, work and life).

In the briefing to Zhang Yue, two relatively new formulations appeared, one was "leaving one's post without authorization during the execution of major tasks" and the other was "interfering in the administration of justice."

The former appeared for the first time in a briefing to a fallen official at the ministerial level of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. In the provisions of the "Regulations on Disciplinary Punishment of the Communist Party of China", there is no such expression as "leaving one's post without authorization during the execution of major tasks", but careful friends will certainly find that this is highly consistent with the spirit of the newly promulgated "Accountability Regulations of the Communist Party of China", and Zhang Yue can be described as the latest negative model.

What is a major task? The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has previously analyzed the case: since July this year, Xiaogan City in Hubei Province has been hit by torrential rains. During the inspection, the discipline supervision staff of Xiaogan City Flood Prevention and Disaster Relief found that two people had left their posts for no reason. This behavior is considered "unauthorized departure during the execution of a major task". After investigation, on the evening of July 5, Xu Chengwu, deputy director of the management committee of the Anlu Economic Development Zone, left his post halfway and Yang Junwei, statistical assistant of Muzi Township, left his post for no reason. Yang Junwei, statistical assistant of Muzi Township, as a flood prevention duty officer, ignored the discipline of flood prevention work and the safety of the lives and property of the masses, and directly left the flood prevention post. Judging from the fact that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection regarded "leaving one's post without authorization" as one of Zhang Yue's major disciplinary violations, the tasks he undertook at that time must have been extremely important.

Based on Zhang Yue's status as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, the issue of his interference in the judiciary is even more distressing.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed the establishment of a system for recording, reporting, and pursuing responsibility for leading cadres interfering in judicial activities and interfering in the handling of specific cases. In March 2015, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Provisions on the Recording, Notification and Accountability of Leading Cadres Interfering in Judicial Activities and Interfering in the Handling of Specific Cases, which clarifies the record system of "leaving traces throughout the process", and stipulates the system of notification and disclosure when necessary, and also stipulates the responsibility investigation system to investigate the responsibility of leading cadres for interfering in judicial activities and judicial personnel for not recording or not recording truthfully.

A few days ago, while announcing that Su Hongzhang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, would be expelled from the party and dismissed from public office, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also disclosed that Su Hongzhang had "interfered in and interfered in judicial activities." According to the information publicly reported by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, among the senior officials who were investigated after the Eighteenth National Congress were Yang Dongliang, former director of the State Administration of Work Safety, Wei Hong, former governor of Sichuan Province, Lu Ziyue, former mayor of Ningbo, Zhejiang, and Xi Xiaoming, former vice president of the Supreme Court, who were officially informed of the problem of interfering in the administration of justice.

According to media reports, Zhang Yue has asked for the intercession of the parties to the case in the links of clue verification, case filing, investigation, review and prosecution, trial, and enforcement in many cases, and instructed and connived at the staff members or relatives around him to intercede for the parties to the case. He used his special rights in Hebei to drive the political and legal departments to serve him, and some of the political and legal workers became Zhang Yue's private "Einsatzgruppen" and were busy with the commercial profiteering of Guo Wengui and others who were close to Zhang.

On April 17 this year, Zhang Yue finally fell from power. In fact, in the past two years, there have been constant rumors about his downfall. The double opening, 3 months after the fall, shows the complexity of his case. The Governor of Chang'an Avenue app once introduced that Zhang Yue's forces are entangled and involved in a wide range, and taking him down shows that it is not easy to fight corruption. Zhang Yue's ascension to the throne was exposed to benefit from Zhou Yongkang. Zhang Yue's double dismissal and transfer to the judiciary this time is precisely after Zhou's henchmen were intensively tried, which is exactly in response to the old saying that "the legal net is restored, and the omission is not leaked."

Also announced today and Zhang at the same time as The double-opening is Yang Luyu, former mayor of Jinan City, Shandong Province, who also has many problems, violating the four disciplines of politics, organization, integrity, and life, and the seriousness of the problem is not weaker than that of his old partner Wang Min, who is unhappy with each other. After Wang Min fell for a while, Yang Luyu's side did not move, even he thought it was all right, and even had a winner mentality. Judging from today's briefing, it is not that the time has not yet come.

Interestingly, Zhang Yue and Yang Luyu drove at the same time, and their fall scene was quite similar: when Zhang Yue was taken, the SWAT entered the office and drove him directly into the car. When Yang Luyu was taken, the discipline inspection personnel blocked the Jinan West Railway Station, and a man dressed in black took Yang away. Neither of them had any chance to resist, and judging from the number of "entries" they violated discipline, it was not an exaggeration to say that such a battle was shocking.
