The country’s first case of civil servants being sentenced for executing leadership instructions began when Luo, the deputy mayor of Yongcheng City Municipal Government, and Liang, a member of the government party group and director of the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, were ordered by members of the Standing Committee of the Yongcheng Municipal Committee of Henan Province and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Zhang commissioned a meeting on how to solve the problem of the Yongyang Garden underground garage, and relevant "meeting minutes" were formed during the meeting.

Subsequently, Yongyang Vocational Deputy General Manager Yao brought the meeting minutes to the Yongcheng Urban and Rural Planning Service Center and asked relevant leaders to complete the implementation work in accordance with the spirit of the meeting. Xia Mingxu, then director of the Yongcheng Urban and Rural Planning Service Center Liu Yuyong, head of the land planning section of the city's Urban and Rural Planning Service Center, knowingly knew that there were illegal provisions in the meeting minutes, not only did he not raise objections on the spot, but also implemented them.

Afterwards, the relevant departments determined that the illegal behavior of the two constituted the crime of abuse of power. After the first instance, Xia Mingxu was dissatisfied and appealed. Later, the Zhoukou Intermediate Court ruled that the original verdict was upheld. Since then, the case has come to an end, but there are several issues that require our detailed analysis.

The first question is, are the "meeting minutes" legal? It is illegal because the Yongyang Garden underground garage not only involves planning issues and housing safety issues, but also these issues require the approval of relevant professional departments, which determines the handling plan procedures mentioned in the "meeting minutes" illegality.

The second question is, what should low-level civil servants do when faced with illegal behavior by their leaders? In fact, whether it is the institutional interview of civil servants or the Civil Servant Law of the People's Republic of China, it is mentioned that when low-level civil servants face illegal instructions from their leaders, they should point out the illegality of their actions on the spot. If the leaders still If they insist on having their own way, all consequences that occur afterwards will be borne by the leaders. Therefore, the two civil servants in this case had major problems when they fulfilled their responsibilities and obligations.

To sum up, as a grassroots civil servant, you must not only learn the law, but also know how to use it. When facing illegal instructions from powerful leaders, you should bravely stand up and say "no" Otherwise, these two civil servants in Henan will become a true reflection of their future.
