It has been almost three years since I arrived in Beijing, and the place that attracts Ding Nengtong the most is Heshen's former residence, Prince Gong's Mansion.Ding Nengtong comes here almost every two or three months. The reason is very simple. After many new political stars rose, they fell like meteors because of the word "greedy". Director of the Beijing Office.Walking around and taking a look here is nothing more than reminding yourself not to fall into the abyss of eternal doom because of "greed". Ding Nengtong was interested in Heshen not because Heshen was "greedy", but because Heshen had all the elements of being an official in the official standard system concentrated in Heshen: he was poor since childhood, studied hard, was lucky to know the king, was promoted to three ranks in a row, Serving the emperor like a father, being a minister of the highest rank, being able to do both things, shrewd and capable, sinister and cunning, greedy...Ding Nengtong's life experience is too similar to that of He Shen. He studied hard and was admitted to the Dongzhou Municipal Government after graduating from university. Thanks to the appreciation of the mayor Xiao Honglin, he became the secretary of the mayor. , treacherous and smooth, in fact, what kind of people with lofty ideals have been in the officialdom for a long time, and the edges and corners have been worn away. How many stones in the river are not round?After a lot of hard work, Ding Nengtong finally became the director of the Beijing Office of Dongzhou City, Qingjiang Province.It's just that the word "greedy" has cost the lives of many political elites. He is afraid. Ding Nengtong doesn't want to lose his life. He is still young and good times are yet to come, so he often goes to Prince Gong's mansion. To remind myself, secondly, I want to be more blessed.

Ding Nengtong's ideal is real, and of course a real ideal is inseparable from good fortune, and Prince Gong's Mansion is known as the "Wanfu Garden". What kind of bat pond, bat hall, and stele with the word "Fu" all express the blessing of wealth? and the true meaning of nobility. Ding Nengtong especially liked the word "Fu" written by Lord Kangxi. The place where he stopped the most in Prince Kung's Mansion was in front of the stele with the word "Fu". The purpose was to get more blessings from Prince Kung's Mansion.No wonder Beijingers often say that when you go to the Great Wall, you see the atmosphere, when you go to the Forbidden City, you see the aura of the king, and when you go to the Palace of Prince Gong, you see the blessing.

For Ding Nengtong, he thinks he is born with air, Wang Qi is what Ding Nengtong dreamed of. However, today's China seems to have broken the rules for thousands of years. Those who are not expensive, and those who are noble are not rich, this is something Ding Nengtong can hardly figure out. Ding Nengtong believed that if you are rich, you must be kingly, and if you are rich, you must be blessed. In Chinese officialdom, the only person who can have both is the director of the Beijing Office.Because the director of the Beijing Office is both an official and a businessman, he is the closest to the king and Lao Tzu, and can make friends with dignitaries. Of course, he is a lot of luck.After much deliberation, Ding Nengtong felt that it was understandable to be blessed with more blessings. As the director of the Beijing Office, he could not be blessed with the heavenly king and Lao Tzu. It must be sweet potatoes and potatoes—when they are cooked, they are noodles.

Whenever Ding Nengtong wanders in this big garden, he will feel a connection with He Shen. This feeling makes his heart itchy and warm. He even feels that an excellent director of the Beijing Office should learn from He Shen. Of course it is not about learning "greed", but he seems not to be able to say clearly what to learn from He Shen. It can be said that every step of the way is a scene. Ding Nengtong didn't think that life was a fleeting cloud. Even if He Shen went, there was still Prince Gong's Mansion and the stele with the word "Fu". The current situation is his own choice, and Ding Nengtong has always been secretly proud of his choice, because since he first accompanied Xiao Honglin, the mayor of Dongzhou City, into Prince Gong's Mansion, his life has a real ideal, "I want to be the director of the Beijing Office of Dongzhou City, and during my term of office, I want to turn the Beijing office into the Prince Gong's Mansion set up by Dongzhou City in Beijing." Ding Nengtong's ideal is indeed real, because Dongzhou As the capital city of Qingjiang Province, the city is a big industrial city and the economic engine of Qingjiang Province. The existing Beijing office is too shabby. In a big economic city like Dongzhou, it is not too much for the Beijing office to be a five-star. There is a problem with the image of the Dongzhou Municipal Government. How many times can Ding Nengtong get excited about his own ideas.

Before Ding Nengtong became the director of the Beijing Office, he was the secretary of Xiao Honglin, the mayor of Dongzhou City, and concurrently served as the deputy director of the municipal government office. The fact that the Bureau of Benefits is appointed as the director is a matter of Xiao Honglin's words.However, Ding Nengtong unexpectedly rejected the good intentions of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and insisted on being the director of Dongzhou Municipal Office in Beijing. The reason for this was not fully understood even by Xiao Honglin, the mayor he had served for many years.

In fact, Ding Nengtong has always had ulterior selfishness. He can call it ambition or lofty aspirations. He believes that if he wants to make great progress in politics, he must be appreciated by important people. The platform can not only be appreciated for frequently receiving provincial and municipal leaders, but also make friends with the powerful in the capital and find opportunities for greater political development.These days, if you want to be a high-ranking official, you have to make friends with powerful people; if you want to make a fortune, you have to make friends with big money.As long as he opened up the situation in Beijing, not to mention the mayor Xiao Honglin, even the secretary of the municipal party committee, Wang Yuanzhang, had to circle around him.

Following Xiao Honglin's travels all these years, he has also met many important people in Beijing. He believes that he has the background and strength to open up the situation.What's more, Dongzhou City, as the provincial capital, an old revolutionary base area, and an old industrial base, has already sent hundreds of old revolutionaries to the capital. If you make good use of these relationships, why worry about your own bright future. When Ding Nengtong was standing in front of the stele of blessing and meditating, someone patted him on the shoulder. "Yo, isn't this Secretary Ding?"

It was the voice of a middle-aged woman. When Ding Nengtong looked back, he was stunned for a moment. This woman was in her forties, a typical image of a female cadre in a government agency, with a dignified and steady face and a friendly smile. Exuding generosity and solemnity. "Oh, it's Sister Liu, long time no see, I dare not recognize you!" After a long while, Ding Nengtong remembered that this elder sister Liu was Liu Fengyun, a department-level cadre of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Three years ago, she went to Dongzhou City with the director of the Sixth Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to conduct public research on government affairs. Ding Nengtong accompanied Mayor Xiao to receive them.At the dinner party, Ding Nengtong and Liu Fengyun fought for wine and were defeated, so they were very impressed.

"Secretary Ding, when did you come to Beijing? Has Mayor Xiao also come?" Obviously, Liu Fengyun was not aware of Ding Nengtong's job change. "Sister Liu, I am now the director of the Beijing Office of Dongzhou City, and I am no longer a secretary." Ding Nengtong tried his best to change the image of a secretary in Liu Fengyun's heart. "So you've made progress, Director Ding!" Liu Fengyun laughed half-jokingly. "Sister Liu, you should call me Nengtong or Xiaoding, I sound comfortable." Ding Nengtong said shyly. "Okay, Xiao Ding, what did you think when you saw this blessing tablet?" Liu Fengyun seemed to have read through Ding Nengtong's mind, and asked peacefully.

"I heard that Kangxi only left three big characters, one is the word 'Wuwei' in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, and the other is the word 'Fu' in the Heshen Mansion." "Yes, when Kangxi wrote this big blessing for his old mother's birthday, he was deeply surprised, because blessing contains things that ordinary people often ask for but cannot achieve, such as talent, son, longevity, and fields. It expresses the Chinese people's prayers for many children, wealth, longevity, and blessings. Later, Kangxi considered that this completely written blessing could not be written again, so he engraved it on a feldspar with a sword and placed it on the Inside the royal compound."

"Sister Liu, how did He Shen get the word "Fu" into the mansion?" "It's not clear, but in order to prevent the royal family from taking this treasure back, the clever He Shen came up with a wonderful method. First, he used a rockery to press the stone under it, and placed three symbols of double dragons on the mountain. In the end, a big longevity character was made around the character of blessing, so that even if the royal family wanted to take it away, they could only look forward to it. After all, no one dared to exchange mountains and rivers and longevity for a character of blessing. Therefore, This blessing can stay here forever.” "He Shen is really smart!" "Xiao Ding, I found that you seem to admire He Shen very much! He is a big corrupt official!" Liu Fengyun said with eyes widened in surprise. "Sister Liu, you misunderstood. I just wondered why Kangxi didn't bless him with the word of blessing that he personally mentioned." Ding Nengtong quickly explained. "As the saying goes, when misfortune comes, blessings depend on it, and when good fortune comes, misfortune subsides. Life can't be too demanding." "Sister Liu is right, Sister Liu is right." At this time, a chubby middle-aged man came over with two bottles of mineral water in his hand. "Feng Yun, have you met someone you know?" "Oh, let me introduce you. Xiao Ding, this is my husband, Zhou Yongnian, who works in the local bureau of the Central Organization Department. Yongnian, this is Ding Nengtong, the director of Dongzhou Municipal Office in Beijing. He used to be Xiao Honglin's secretary." After listening to Liu Fengyun's introduction, Ding Nengtong felt an impulse in his heart, thinking, "Liu Fengyun's husband actually works in the local bureau of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Judging by his style and qualifications, he must be a deputy bureau at least. Someone with big ambitions would dream of befriending." Ding Nengtong quickly stretched out his hands and said humbly: "Brother Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Zhou Yongnian stretched out his hand politely, and said with a vigilant and arrogant smile: "The director of the Beijing Office is not simple, and everyone has the ability to be both right and wrong, and to travel across the world." "Where, where, we are also seeking survival and development in the cracks!" "Surviving in the cracks, whether there is a mistake, everyone knows that the Beijing Office does not care about it. Others can't control it. The place can't manage it. Beijing can't control it. It also opens hotels, restaurants, and companies. The director of the Beijing Office However, he is both an official and a boss. He is rich and rich. He often receives local leaders and cadres. You work on flat ground, the discipline is loose outside, and the salary is high, which director of the Beijing office doesn't have some supernatural powers?" Zhou Yongnian talked eloquently, and Ding Neng's forehead was sweating. "Brother Zhou thinks highly of us, how about this, Sister Liu, anyway, you are from Dongzhou, I will treat you another day, Brother Zhou must give me this face." Ding Nengtong felt that Zhou Yongnian was very useful. Even the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor would have to take a high look at him. Once such a person was handed over, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his political future, but making friends with such a person was overwhelming. Hot tofu should be simmered slowly, otherwise it will be easy to get raw. After the two parties exchanged greetings and said goodbye, Ding Nengtong walked out of Prince Gong's mansion slowly.As soon as he got into the Mercedes-Benz and started the ignition, his cell phone rang.The number on the caller ID was Gu Huaiyuan, the secretary of Dongzhou Executive Deputy Mayor Jia Chaoxuan's secretary.Ding Nengtong quickly answered the phone. "Yes, where are you? Mayor Jia has gone to the Beijing Office, so come back quickly." "Huaiyuan, I'm on my way, go back right away."
