What Mr. Liu said was quite wonderful, but when it fell into Liu Dong's ears, he felt that although the old man's words were good, there was still a theme that he did not say, and that was the so-called principled stance. [ ]
Principles and positions, these two points basically run through all the issues in the officialdom from ancient times to the present. Whether you are the lowest official or the highest-level leader, if you want to be a good official, you not only need to make political achievements, but also Principles and stance are the most important things for promotion.
" Take Hai Rui during the Ming Dynasty as an example. According to the rules of the officialdom, he was really not suitable for being an official. The reason why it has spread so widely is simply because it has taken over the aura of literati. To say that he has made any dazzling political achievements as an official, at least in modern terms, he does not have many shining points.
¡°When it comes to his principles and positions, they are actually not very consistent with those in power. Whether it was his immediate boss, the emperor, or other colleagues, he never got along. Although he had his own principles and positions, he was definitely a miserable person when he was an official. If the literati at that time did not need his so-called backbone to set off the extraordinary literati, perhaps today, there would be no stories of Hai Rui's deeds spread at all. Therefore, from an official point of view, Hai Rui was not a qualified official. This view was confirmed during his lifetime. The emperor's boss was unhappy with him. Although the chief assistant at that time worked for him, it was just to bring him down. The emperor's army. To say that he is interested in his talent is simply nonsense. Therefore, the chief assistant at that time just wanted to keep Hai Rui alive and not die. As for becoming an official, in other words, it was not implemented.
He Shen of the Qing Dynasty was completely opposite to him. Although He Shen had shortcomings of one kind or another, he was eventually killed by the new emperor to prove his ability. But it is undeniable that Heshen definitely has his own way of being an official. His principles and stance are very consistent with his old master Qianlong, and his political achievements are also very promising.
Therefore, during the Qianlong period, Heshen's official career was prosperous and he would not fail for decades. His principles and stance were Qianlong's principles and stance, so much so that when the new emperor came to power, in order to eliminate Qianlong's influence, He Shen had to be operated on, which can be said to be a model for officialdom.
In modern times, principles and positions are equally important. Even a small section-level cadre will not do well as an official if he goes against his immediate superior. So to sum up, although the words principle and position seem vague, they are actually the above. Whatever people are thinking, that is their principle and stance. As for their own principles and stance, they are only useful to the people below.
And now, although the old man warned his fourth uncle to stick to his principles and positions, the old man did not mention a word about which direction these principles and positions should be based on. Such a general warning actually has little meaning and meaning at all. usefulness.
To say that the old man is quite troubled, there is no need to be so vague about his family, but since he actually doesn't know much about what the old leader is thinking now, he can only do Tai Chi for everyone, otherwise , if you really say a standard, and then this standard is different from what the old chief meant, wouldn't that mean that you have screwed up everyone in your family? Especially when it comes to such a big matter, if you make one wrong step, then the Liu family is very prosperous now, but in such a big storm, the Liu family is just a small boat, which can capsize whenever it wants.
But after all, it was the old man who said this, so no one present expressed any objection. As the head of the Liu family, even if the old man completely retires, Liu Changzheng, who really takes over, is only in name only. The head of the family, whatever the old man says, he will do the same.
Just after the old man finished talking about Liu Changzheng and the others, the old man turned the topic to Liu Dong: "Xiaodong, when you were at the door just now, didn't you say you had something to talk to everyone about? I'll tell you now. Tell me what you think and see if it¡¯s appropriate or not.¡±
The old man likes Liu Dong quite a lot. Although Liu Dong firmly does not accept the old man¡¯s opinions on personal relationship issues, in other aspects, Liu Dong¡¯s role in the family is not small. You know, Liu Dong's ideas have been involved in many major events of the Liu family in recent years. Whether it's big things or small things, Liu Dong's vision is very good.
I still remember that my second son and that person didn't get along well at first, but because of Liu Dong's intervention, the second son got involved with that person and became that person's direct descendant. Although the old man didn't care much about it at the time, looking at that person's achievements now, the old man couldn't help but admire him. In the blink of an eye, that person had reached a higher position than he had before. With such a relationship, even if it was just He is a deputy director, so in the mechanical engineering department, it is easier to use than a full director, and no one can change this.Reality.
And now, Liu Dong has a new idea, and the old man really wants to hear his opinion. Although Liu Dong never entered official circles, if Liu Dong stood on the outside, he might have better ideas.
Hearing the old man call his name, Liu Dong immediately spoke out his previous thoughts. The key point was to take over the order, let the uncle go first, and then his father or second uncle would share his thoughts. Be clear. This not only avoids the Liu family's difficulties, but also allows the Liu family's political dynamics to have great continuity.
No one in the family had thought of this before. After all, the old man is still alive and in good health. If there is any big event, the old man can take care of it, making other people in the family dependent. Anyway, The old man is here, no matter what happens, there will be no problem.
But now that Liu Dong¡¯s idea has been expressed, it is a subversion of other people¡¯s ideas. In Liu Dong's mind, the role of the old man was completely reduced to a minimum. It cannot be said to be completely useless, but it is impossible to determine the world as it is now.
So when Liu Dong said these words, it immediately aroused everyone's opposition. The first one to stand up was his uncle Liu Changzheng: "Xiaodong, how can you think so? The old man is still in such good health. , and the thinking is clear. It is very wrong for you to just think of letting your uncle take over. The reason why the Liu family has developed to this point is that without the old man, just relying on our brothers, how could we be so capable? It's better now, you Just ask your grandfather to let go, how did you become a grandson?"
Although the uncle is the one who benefits the most from Liu Dong's thoughts, the problem is that the uncle had never thought about such a thing before Liu Dong spoke. Now Liu Dong proposed that his uncle should be the pillar of support. Although it seemed very glamorous, in fact he was really afraid that he would not be able to shoulder such a responsibility.
Hearing what his uncle said, Liu Dong still said uncompromisingly: "Uncle, I know you will all think it is too rash to suddenly come up with such an idea. But the benefits of doing this to our Liu family are obvious.
Although the old man is in good health now, there will be no problem in taking care of him for a few more years. But after all, the energy of the old man is not as abundant as that of the young man. If the old man decides everything, it will also be a big burden on the old man's body.
In fact, now, there are not many things that the old man really needs to do. For our old Liu family, the old man is a symbol. Old man, you may not want to hear what I say, but if you don¡¯t set the order now and make preparations, if something goes wrong in the future, won¡¯t our Liu family be in chaos?
On the contrary, now that the old man is completely free, uncle, you can also practice it well, and the old man no longer has anything to worry about, and his health will be much better. And as long as the old man is in good health, our old Liu family will have confidence. No matter what happens, others have to consider the old man's wishes. Just like nuclear bombs, their real value is limited to deterrence. Since the birth of that thing, except for two of them in Little Japan, they have been kept in the warehouse at other times. I haven't seen anyone crazy enough to take out that thing and use it randomly, but everyone can see the deterrent effect. "
Liu Dong¡¯s words are quite reasonable, and this truth will actually be gradually accepted by all the big families in the next few years. The Liu family can be said to be ahead of other families. The old man had completely retired before, but his popularity after his retirement was even stronger than when he was in office.
In the past, the old man was not a member of the Standing Committee of the Advisory Committee, but now that the old man has completely stepped down, as long as his opinions are spoken out, even the current members of the Standing Committee of the Advisory Committee cannot be underestimated. Although the old man speaks less now, his words are still heavier than before. This is equivalent to competing for quantity with quality, which is especially useful in this day and age.
In everyone's mind, there will be a concept that others, Lao Liu, do not love power and will retreat at any time. Now Lao Liu wants to say something. If we people don't think about it carefully, wouldn't it be a good example of people walking away with tea? The original intention of the establishment of the Advisory Committee was actually that the old comrades were afraid of being distracted. Now that Lao Liu is really gone, if the tea becomes cold, wouldn't it prove that their previous ideas were correct?
Therefore, as long as the old man has something to say, even if it is just his own words, the Advisory Committee must help him to prevent his ideas from becoming reality. Otherwise, none of the old comrades would do it.
And now Liu Dong¡¯s proposal is actually to go a step further, allowing the old man to completely delegate power not only outside, but also at home. When you delegate power outside, you are afraid that others will not listen to you in the future. But when you delegate power at home, when you really want to speak, is it possible that there are other people in your son who will?Don¡¯t listen to yourself?
Rather than being responsible for everything at home now, it is better to step in at critical moments and raise your prestige with quality. So when Liu Dong and his uncle Liu Shengli were arguing, the old man himself was really considering Liu Dong's statement.
