Chapter 43: Reunion
In the morning, Wang Yuanqing smoked two packs of cigarettes. [Full text reading]
After pinching the empty cigarette case, Wang Yuanqing touched his body, searched for a while on the desk, and finally picked out a cigarette butt from the ashtray that still had half a section left. After taking two puffs, Wang Yuanqing's mood calmed down a lot.
"It's no good to smoke too much."
Spit out green smoke, Wang Yuanqing looked at Ji Youguo, who was sitting opposite.
After a few hours, Ji Youguo has been as steady as Mount Tai except for occasionally drinking two sips of tea, and Wang Yuanqing has to admire Ji Youguo's determination.
"Since the situation is under your control, there is no need to worry about anything."
"The ear is
Wang Yuanqing only spoke, and there was a few knocks on the door.
The agent of the Military Intelligence Agency, who was guarding the outside, pushed open the door and said by the door: "Yuan, Ji Lao, Deputy Director Liu will be here in fifteen minutes." ”
"Okay, we'll go downstairs in ten minutes." Ji Youguo answered for Wang Yuanqing.
The agent nodded, and went out and closed the door.
Wang Yuanqing immediately stood up and picked up the coat that had been thrown on the sand.
"What's the hurry?" Ji Youguo glanced at Wang Yuanqing and said, "After so many years, these shortcomings of yours still haven't been changed." At the beginning, you were also more anxious, especially when facing major things, and you were always impatient. I thought that working in Guangxi for five years and working in the central government for nine years would make you change a lot, but I didn't expect that you still haven't changed. ”
"Ji Lao, I"
"When the overall situation is in place, we must not be alarmed, not afraid of danger, and not chaotic in the face of danger." Ji Weiguo sighed and said, "However, you are much better than before, at least you know how to deal with domestic contradictions." ”
Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, in front of Ji Youguo, he felt that he was a little shorter.
"I heard that you have enough evidence?
"The evidence is there, it's just not enough." Wang Yuanqing extinguished the cigarette butt. Li Cunxun personally interrogated Suo Xianglong and obtained a list of rebels. According to Ji Ge, "there will be more conclusive evidence in the operation." The MIA is fully deployed, and the interrogation of the suspects will follow. ”
Ji Jieguo pondered for a while and said, "I heard that you refused to arrest the rebels without evidence before this? ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded, not avoiding this question.
"If I'm not mistaken, you don't want to destroy the legal system that you have built with your own hands." Ji Weiguo guessed accurately, glanced at Wang Yuanqing, and said, "There is nothing wrong with doing this, but have you ever thought that dealing with national affairs has nothing to do with legal work." In other words, if a country were planning a war against the Republic, would you not make a strategic counterattack decision when you had solid evidence? ”
"This is a domestic rebellion, not a foreign war."
"But I bowed down
"It didn't turn out the same." Wang Yuanqing replied very decisively, "In the domestic rebellion, we must aim our guns at our own people, although to a large extent, the traitorous group is not our own people, but to bring the traitors to justice and prevent the same thing from happening again, we must go through formal legal procedures." Foreign wars are struggles between nations. However, there is no legal basis for inter-state struggles, and they rely on national strength. If any country poses a threat to the Republic, or has already endangered the security and interests of the Republic, we have reason to bring it down, even if there is no solid evidence! ”
Ji Jieguo frowned slightly.
"Old Ji, I'm not saying that you're wrong, I just think that we shouldn't use the power given to us by the people." Wang Yuanqing sighed and said, "After working in Guangxi for five years, my biggest feeling is that the people have lost confidence in the government's reform actions, and even have a lot of resistance. At the time, I didn't understand it, but after I traveled to various parts of Guangxi, I understood what the people were thinking. It is undeniable that reform has put us on the road to becoming a strong country, but if the political system is not changed, reform can only benefit a small number of people in power and those who have mastered social resources. What is the purpose of the reform? Reform should not only strengthen the country, but also enrich the people. If the reform defeats that purpose, is it wrong, or is something else wrong? ”
Ji Jieguo's expression became more solemn.
"Although I dare not assert that I am doing the right thing, I believe that the status quo must be changed in order to get reform back on the right path." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Ji Youguo and said, "Back to the central government, I have been thinking about this issue. It is necessary to achieve the purpose of reform. In addition to promoting economic development, it is also necessary to improve the social system, so that more people can enjoy the benefits of reform and let more people support reform. The only way is to change the distribution system and make the distribution of social resources more reasonable. In order to achieve this, the population must be empowered to set the rules of the social game. The rules of the social game are the law, and only when the law becomes the code of conduct for all can it be respected by all. The only way to get the people to participate in the formulation of laws is to change our political system so that the people have more opportunities to express their political opinions and gain more political rights. ”
Ji Jieguo nodded slightly, he was also very familiar with this set of ideas.
"Of course, I don't deny the unfairness of the world itself, and it is impossible to establish a teacup of Shewang Sheqing Duanquan who remembers the Jin Qinhu, and took a few sips greedily, saying two: Xiping is relative, not absolute.
I think the most important fairness is fairness in opportunity, not in treatment. The main determinant of equality of opportunity is not economic rights, but political rights. The purpose of political reform is twofold: one is to strengthen the binding capacity of the law, and the other is to adjust the political power structure. For the sake of the former, as those in power, we must obey the law and uphold the law. If even those in power treat the law as child's play, can they expect others to obey and respect the law? For the sake of the latter, we must limit the power of the government, even take away the power of the government, and make the people citizens with political rights, rather than objects to be ruled. Of course, this involves the pound of national nature. Fundamental problem. In my opinion, as society progresses, the nature of the state as an instrument of "violence against the ruling class" is diluting, and its color as a platform for civil rights is gradually strengthening. In other words, the state is a special social system with coercive binding force established by a specific group of people, at a specific time, and for a common purpose. The basic function of the state is not to rule or suppress another group of people on behalf of one part of the people, but to give all the people who make up the country the right and opportunity to participate in the formulation of the rules of the game, express their opinions, assert their opinions, and obtain benefits. In this case, the government is only exercising the administrative apparatus that governs the country, preserves society, and resists foreign enemies on behalf of the citizens who make up the country, and does not override the power over the people. Only by allowing citizens to obtain the power of the state can the power of the government be constrained, and the government can be transformed from a ruler into a servant. For this reason, I have chosen the route of reform from the grassroots level. I also know that this is not my will alone, but the will of successive leaders. ”
After Wang Yuanqing finished speaking, Chief Ji Yu let out a sigh and said, "You're right, I also wanted to change it back then, but."
"The time is not ripe."
Ji Yanguo nodded and said, "It seems that you know the way forward in the future. Fundamentally speaking, the reforms carried out during my administration have only delayed the explosion of social contradictions, but have not fundamentally resolved them. In order to ensure long-term peace and stability in the country, it is necessary to solve the problem fundamentally. ”
"That's why I decided to deal with the traitorous group in a legal way."
"It seems that I am lagging behind." Ji Weiguo smiled and said, "It's just that the price you paid for doing this is too great." ”
"Ear?"
Ji Shenguo nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he meant.
"It depends on how you look at it." Wang Yuanqing also laughed, "If you only focus on the present, the cost is indeed very large, if you focus on the future, this step will have to be taken sooner or later. If you look at it on a deeper level, this is not necessarily bad for us. ”
Ji Shuguo frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what Wang Yuanqing meant.
"The Indian issue is not going to drag on for years, and if we wait until India is ready, we will definitely be very costly. If India can be rushed to the front, the cost will be much smaller. ”
"You mean" Ji Youguo glanced at Wang Yuanqing and didn't continue.
Wang Yuanqing didn't speak, he knew that Ji Jieguo knew very well what would happen next.
"In that case, then you have to be more cautious, and if you take a wrong step, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Not only do you have to be careful, but you also have to plan carefully."
"Already planned?"
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "My idea is"
Ji Yanguo suppressed Wang Yuanqing's words, and said with a smile: "There is no need to talk to me about this, I am no longer the head of the country, so there is no need to worry about these things." I came back this time, just by the invitation of Lao Zhao and Lao Peng, to see how they have changed over the years, and I don't want to get involved in those intriguing things. ”
"Ji Lao
Judge, King, don't you understand who I am? ”
Wang Yuanqing sighed and didn't say anything more.
"It's almost time, let's go out, I still have you to sing in the next play."
When the two came to the underground garage, Liu Xiaobin had already brought someone over.
Seeing Ji Youguo and Wang Yuanqing, Liu Xiaobin nodded and opened the car door for the two yuan.
"It's all taken care of."
"It's dealt with, it's all under control, and the arrest will end soon." Liu Xiaobin sat in the co-pilot's seat, let the driver out, turned back to the two Yuan behind him and said, "The network contacted Lao Li, his operation is about to end, and the chairman and Zhao Lao are on their way to Yuanfu." ”
"Are you under control?"
"It's all under control, but I haven't heard from the garrison yet, probably Elder Zhang is dealing with it."
Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly.
"But there's nothing to be nervous about, Mr. Xiang and Lu Chengwen brought people over, and there will be news soon."
Before returning to Yuanfu, Wang Yuanqing received a message from Xiang Linghui from the garrison headquarters that the situation of the garrison was under control and all the troops were under control.
It was only at this time that Wang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
