Chapter 834 Why did Hou Liangping's reputation plummet? Bao Zheng was furious!
[During the case handling process, Hou Liangping demonstrated a strong political sense.]

[He is well aware that in such a sensitive area as anti-corruption, one must have courage and responsibility, as well as accurate political judgment.]

[He is good at dealing with various complex political relationships, not offending important figures, but also advancing the progress of the case. ]

[Some people believe this approach is a way to protect oneself, but others believe it is a necessary step to advance anti-corruption efforts within the system.]

[It is worth mentioning that Hou Liangping's relationship with Chen Hai, Lu Yike and others has also attracted much attention. ]

[Especially the ambiguous relationship with Lu Yike. Although the two of them always maintained a state of being close yet distant, this relationship did help him carry out his work to a certain extent.]

[This also indirectly reflects his ability to make use of various networks of relationships.]

[When handling cases, Hou Liangping often shows an almost paranoid persistence, but at the same time he knows how to compromise at the right time.]

[For example, when dealing with cases involving important political figures, he would adjust his strategy appropriately according to the situation.]

[While this approach is pragmatic, it has also disappointed some colleagues who advocate for impartiality.]

[In general, Hou Liangping is a character full of contradictions.]

[He has both the perseverance of an anti-corruption fighter and the sophistication of an official.]

[He has both the perseverance of an idealist and the tact of a realist.]

[While he was promoting anti-corruption work within the system, he also had to adapt to the rules of the system. This contradiction is an important reason for his complex personality.]

【After years of hard work, Hou Liangping finally successfully investigated and dealt with a series of major corruption cases, making important contributions to anti-corruption work.】

[However, his way of dealing with people, including his political skills and personal relationship management, is still a controversial topic. ]

[These controversies precisely reflect the various contradictions and challenges he faces as a real-life anti-corruption worker.]

[In the contemporary anti-corruption history of Longguo, Hou Liangping is undoubtedly an iconic figure. ]

[His story tells us that promoting anti-corruption work in a complex political environment requires not only a firm stance and professional ability, but also superb political wisdom and good maneuvering skills.]

[His experience is not only a personal struggle, but also a microcosm of the development of Longguo's anti-corruption work. ]

Barrage:

——"This guy is a master of surviving in the officialdom. I'm sorry for being born as an official."

——"Crossing the river by feeling the stones, but the river is full of crocodiles [speechless]"

——"To put it bluntly, it's about surviving in the cracks. Those who understand will understand."

——"After reading it, I feel like I understand a lot, but at the same time, I don't understand anything"

——"This is the legendary wanting more and more, and he actually did it."

……

"It seems that the knowledge in the officialdom will not change for a thousand years."

"I'm afraid that those of us who are officials nowadays haven't even learned a third of the skills of this Lord Hou."

In their impression, honest officials are mostly stubborn, while corrupt officials do not follow the rules.

It is rare to find someone who is both sensible and flexible.

"The anti-corruption in later generations is much more interesting than here."

"Of course. Look at this gentleman. He is investigating cases with a bit of romance. This skill is not something that ordinary people can learn."

……

Wu Zhou plane.

"There is an interesting person in later times, who is somewhat similar to the cruel officials of our dynasty."

Wu Zetian put down the teacup in her hand, still staring at the sky.

Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing looked at each other with subtle expressions on their faces.

Zhou Xing said, "This man's methods are not as swift and decisive as ours. When His Majesty asked us to investigate officials, there was no need for such a roundabout way."

"What do you know? Hou Liangping is a hundred times smarter than you." Wu Zetian turned and looked at the two of them.

"You are just panicking and trying to please me by framing loyal people and fabricating unjust cases. But he can maneuver between different forces, complete the mission and protect himself. He is truly a man of character."

Lai Junchen's expression changed.

"But your majesty, this man clearly used a woman's connections to get to the top!"

A sharp light flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes.

"He knows how to advance and retreat, and knows the limits."

"Unlike you, you are so cowardly. If you were asked to handle the case in his hands, I'm afraid you would have messed it up long ago."

"Your Majesty is right."

Zhou Xing lowered his head: "But I feel that even though you are an anti-corruption official, you still have to deal with everything. How can you uncover major cases like this?"

"you are wrong."

Wu Zetian stood up.

"It is precisely because he knows how to judge the situation that he can survive in the cracks of power."

Lai Junchen still did not give up: "Your Majesty, this man and the woman named Lu Yike..."

"Why, do you think I will be prejudiced against him because he knows how to take advantage of the relationship between men and women?"

Wu Zetian glanced at Lai Junchen coldly.

"Isn't it because I understand this well that I was able to achieve my current success?"

“The road to power is never a straight one. Only those who can bend and stretch are truly capable officials.”

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Wu Zetian continued, "Compared to you cruel officials who only know how to flatter, I appreciate this kind of ministers who have both means and sense of propriety more."

"It's a pity that this person is not in my dynasty."

……

Northern Song Dynasty plane.

Song Renzong pointed to the sky and said: "For such a talent, I don't know whether to say he is smooth or upright."

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "I think that if a law enforcer always pays attention to political tactics, it will be difficult for him to accomplish great things. Although such a person who can judge the situation can protect himself, he is also likely to lose his duty as an official."

Fan Zhongyan, who was standing by, said, "How can everything in the world be as impartial as you are?"

"Although Hou Liangping is smooth, the cases he investigates are real. If everyone was as inflexible as you, I'm afraid they would have been eliminated long ago."

Song Renzong could not help but nod his head: "Lord Fan, what you said makes sense. I think this man is quite capable. He can not only get along well with people in the officialdom, but also investigate and handle major cases. Such abilities are really rare."

Bao Zheng still disagreed: "Your Majesty, I really cannot stand what happened between this man and Lu Yike. As a law enforcer, he actually used the love between a man and a woman to handle a case. How is he different from those corrupt officials?"

"Old Bao, Old Bao, you are still too straightforward."

Fan Zhongyan shook his head: "In the court, people's feelings are fickle, and life and death are determined by advancement and retreat. How can you deal with it by being stubborn? It is rare for this Lord Hou to survive in the cracks."

Song Renzong pondered for a moment and said, "You two ministers each have your reasons. From what I have seen of this man, it seems that he has learned some of the characteristics of both of you."

"If such talents were in our dynasty, they would be of great use."

"Your Majesty, I think this style of behavior may start a bad trend."

Bao Zheng still refused to give in.

"If everyone follows his example, wouldn't the officialdom in the world become a place of power politics?"

Fan Zhongyan said, "The world is a place of power and tactics. The key is what to do with it. This Lord Hou is at least getting rid of harm for the people."

Song Renzong looked far-sighted: "The officialdom of this later generation is not much different from that of our dynasty. It's just that this Lord Hou is a little wiser than ordinary officials."
