"And the family affairs of the ministers under the emperor became the state affairs of his subordinates. The concept of state and family was completely mixed up. This tradition continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty. After the overthrow of the Qing empire, the Chinese were not like the West. After a more thorough Enlightenment, they did not have a safe understanding of Western thoughts such as democracy, but just took it over in a specious manner, and the feudal factors in their bones were not eliminated."
Fu Hua nodded and said that this scholar's view was correct. In fact, wise scholars have pointed out this a long time ago. I remember it seemed to be the May Fourth Movement when a student from Peking University asked Professor Gu Hongming why he didn't cut off his braids. Gu Hongming pointed out that his braids were on his head and Zhu Jun's braids were in his heart. He just pointed out that the servility of the Chinese has not been completely eradicated, but is still deep in his heart. It's a pity that most Chinese people take Gu Hongming's words as a joke that he swiftly responded to, and never really thought about the deep meaning contained therein.
Liu Kang said: "The servility of Chinese people is the same up to now. Whatever injustices people have suffered, they are still willing to petition rather than through the judicial system to solve them. In their consciousness, they are still eager to encounter something like a package. Master Qingtian like Zheng, come to save them from the fire and water."
Sunan said: "Yes, although the emperor is gone now, there are still upright officials. People are still willing to pin their hopes on those upright officials who occasionally encounter upright officials instead of trusting the judicial system established by the state, so to a large extent The consciousness of the masters has not changed much. They still pin their destiny on the will of the chief. In the same way, officials also place their own prosperity and decline on their chiefs. Some officials are spoiled by the chiefs. On the other hand, some officials will be put into separate books because they offend the chief. Looking through the twenty-fifth history, the officials in the history are all in this pattern. The officials who are loyal to a certain family are praised and betrayed. The courtiers of a certain family were degraded. And most Chinese intellectuals used the records in the 25th history as their model of behavior. This mode of confusing state affairs and family affairs has become the inherent thinking mode of officials. ."
Fu Hua said: "Yes, the West is much better than ours on this point. As early as the Enlightenment, Westerners strictly divided the line between public and private. The British Prime Minister William Pitt said "Even the poorest people He also dared to confront the king's authority in his cabin. The house may be very dilapidated, and the roof may be crumbling; wind can blow into this house, rain can break into this house, but the king cannot step into this house, and his thousands of troops dare not step over this broken house. "Threshold" clearly demarcates the boundary between public and private. This has long been an internationally recognized principle, but unfortunately it has not been accepted by our officials. There are still many examples of infringement of private rights in the name of ***.
Sunan said: "Yes, some compulsory demolitions are like this now. Although those officials are under the banner of urban construction, they are actually for their own political achievements. This is a manifestation of power privatization, and they think they rely on it. The power in your hands can do whatever you want, even above the law."
Fu Hua smiled and said: "These phenomena exist, but the society as a whole is still progressing. The democratic consciousness of our people has begun to gradually build up, and the era of officials doing whatever they want is about to pass."
Sunan smiled and said, "Fu Hua, you are an official at no loss, and you have not forgotten your official position."
Fu Hua smiled and said, "I said this is a fact. Look at the recent demolition incidents and how many officials have been punished. This is an improvement."
Liu Kang smiled and said: "In any case, as far as the feelings of businessmen like Su Dong and I are concerned, there are still a lot of illegal acts by officials."
Fu Hua said: "That just shows that our official ranks still have a lot of room for improvement."
Sunan looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Liu Dong, don't fight with Fu Hua. The fight won't produce any results. We are here to eat, not to fight with him."
Liu Kang smiled and said, "I don't want to fight him for a result. I just fight and have fun. Okay, when it's time to eat, let's go down."
The three of them went to the Haichuan restaurant. There was fresh fish in the restaurant. Fu Hua steamed the kitchen and ordered some seafood such as clams. The three began to sit and drink together.
Liu Kang insisted on drinking Erguotou. Sunan was not used to drinking such a strong wine, so he opened a bottle of red wine and asked Fu Hua to accompany Liu Kang to drink Erguotou.
After drinking a few sips, Liu Kang asked Fu Hua: "Fu Hua, are you Haichuan very lively recently?"
Fu Hua smiled and said, "I know that a county magistrate in Yunshan County forced a female cadre to death. Are you going to criticize us officials again?"
Liu Kang smiled and said, "That's not true. I heard that Mu Guang is leading the investigation in this case, right?"
Fu Hua nodded and said, "Dong Liu is well informed. It is indeed Mu Guang who is doing this job. What's wrong?"
Liu Kang said: "I want to ask you, what did this Mu Guang do to you recently? You don't know. The last time I came back from Haichuan, my heart has been unable to let go. This Mu Guang is a dangerous person. I always I think he can’t give up if he doesn’t do something to you."
Fu Hua smiled and said, "Dong Liu, you reminded me of this once."
Liu Kang smiled and said, "Of course I know, but I don't think you take it seriously. You don't understand how I feel about Mu Guang."
Sunan smiled and said, "How does Dong Liu feel about this person? Tell me what?"
Liu Kang looked at Sunan with a smile and said, "Su Dong, can you tell me how you felt about me at the beginning?"
Sunan laughed and said: "At that time, I had heard many legends about Liu Dong. They all said that Dong Liu was a terrible person when he did everything by no means. Now that I am familiar with you, I feel very different. On the one hand, you can still get close to a friend."
Liu Kang smiled and said: "That's because my temperament has changed a lot now. In fact, when we first met, I thought I was a terrible feeling to others, and I also enjoyed this feeling at the time. Su Dong Don’t you want to ask me how I feel about Mu Guang? Let me tell you, I feel that he is the same type of animal as I was at the time. To a certain extent, this man’s scheming is more gloomy than me, and his style of behavior may be better than me. It's still vicious. That's why I want to remind Fu Hua again, and I hope to draw his full attention."
Fu Hua smiled disapprovingly and said, "Dong Liu, you look at Mu Guang too highly. I have fought him not once or twice. He has used all his tricks. It's not that I am helpless. What? Don't worry, I'm not someone who can be manipulated."
Sunan also said: "Yes, Liu Dong, I think Fu Hua is capable of dealing with this."
Liu Kang shook his head and said, "How can I tell you to understand? Mu Guang is a wolf. He is looking at Fu Hua in the dark, and he wants to wait for an opportunity to eat. The reason why Mu Guang hasn't It succeeds because Fu Hua has not been caught by him. This feeling of being peeped is the most terrifying, and it makes you dare not make mistakes at all. But Fu Hua, you are not a saint, there will always be this or that. Wrong."
Fu Hua smiled and said: "Liu Dong, don't worry, I am a very principled person and I will not make mistakes and arrest Mu Guang."
Liu Kang smiled and shook his head, and said, "You dare to say that you can't make a mistake?"
Fu Hua smiled and said, "At least I haven't made any mistakes so far."
Liu Kang looked at Fu Hua and said, "Are you so confident?"
Fu Hua nodded and said, "I asked myself that I didn't make any mistakes."
Liu Kang sneered and shook his head, and said, "Fu Hua, do you feel a little better about yourself? Everyone makes mistakes. I know you have made mistakes."
Fu Hua was stunned. He thought that Liu Kang was talking about something ambiguous between him and Wu Wen. After thinking about it, he really had nothing to do with Wu Wen, so he smiled and said: "Liu Dong, I and Wu Wen is very innocent, and I really don't know what mistakes I made in other aspects."
Liu Kang said: "I'm not talking about Wu Wen. I know everything that happened between Wu Wen and you. There really is nothing between you."
Fu Hua smiled and said, "Then there won't be any more."
Liu Kang said: "What if I say something?"
Fu Hua smiled and said, "Well, if you really know what mistakes I made, you can tell me, as long as I did it, I will admit it."
Liu Kang said: "Then I really want to say it?"
Fu Hua smiled and said, "Say, I'm waiting."
Liu Kang said: "This is what you want me to say. Fu Hua, you can tell me honestly, when did you talk to Su Dong when Xiaofei was together? Was it before you divorced Zhao Ting?"
Fu Hua's face flushed immediately. He didn't expect Liu Kang to see that he had slept with Xiaofei. This old guy's eyes were really awkward.
Sunan on the side was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xiaofei and Fu Hua really had a leg, and they were still hiding from him under his nose. He looked at Fu Hua with a bit of displeasure and said, "Fu Hua, is this really like this? "
Fu Hua smiled embarrassedly. He didn't know what Liu Kang knew, so it was not easy to deny this matter in front of Liu Kang, because he knew that if he denied it and Liu Kang showed evidence, Then he will be even more embarrassed, so he said: "Brother Nan, I'm sorry, we haven't told you about this. The matter between Xiaofei and I is very complicated, but it's been a long time since we ended."
