In the late autumn season, the evergreen trees in Zhongnanhai are even more rich and verdant.

Every time this season, when the central leader comes out for a walk, the staff around him follow closely, for fear that the leader will be indifferent to the problem and will suffer from the cold.

In autumn, the vines of General Liang's courtyard have withered, and the water in the small pond with koi is much shallower than before. A few dead leaves float on the clear water surface, giving a unique smell of autumn.

The koi in the small pond is still there, the water is lighter, and the koi of different colors gather together, which looks extremely crowded, but it looks even better. It is lying beside the pond and watching the fish wander freely in the water, it is really interesting.

Mr. Liang likes to watch fish. When he is tired of work, he likes to walk by the pond in the yard, especially in this season. Mr. Liang hates staying in the heating room and wandering around the yard whenever he has free time.

There is nothing else to look good about, only this pond is full of vitality.

Mr. Liang was watching the fish, and the staff followed him closely, holding tea, coat and towel in his hand. As soon as he stopped, the staff would immediately walk up to help him put on his coat to prevent him from getting cold.

"'Suddenly I heard the sound of koi hitting the water, and the fish leaped and swam in the clear light.' Mr. Liang, you are very interested. It has a unique flavor to watch fish in autumn!"

A guest came to the yard. Mr. Liang turned around and saw that it was Ling Zuhong. He grinned and said, "Prime Minister said, "Why are you free to come to my yard at this time?"

Ling Zuhong slowly approached and smiled and said, "I often hear the staff say that Mr. Liang likes to watch fish. I have always wanted to come over to see the fish here. Today I went out for a walk, and I came here on a whim."

"Welcome, welcome! It's not easy for you to come." Mr. Liang said, the office areas of the two big guys are not close, so it's really not easy for Ling Zuhong to come.

There are seats by the small pond, and the staff had already arranged seat cushions and tea drinks. Mr. Liang smiled and said, "Sitting outside this season will be cooler. But cool means health. As the saying goes: 'Eight parts full, three parts cool'. You can't eat too much, and you can't be too warm in autumn and winter. This is the way to keep healthy."

Ling Zuhong nodded and said, "This makes sense. Although it is dry and cold outside, you still have to come out for more every day. You can't stay in the room and don't come out. Fortunately, you have such a good place here, which is really enviable!"

Mr. Liang smiled and said, "It's worth envious! I have told my comrades long ago that after I step down, I have no other requirements for the organization. I just want the organization to give me a small courtyard like this, and I am content!"

He pointed to the fish in the pond and said, "Look at how free they are. With such a water, they can swim freely. To be honest, I often envy them!"

Ling Zuhong also sighed lightly and said, "Mr. Liang really has the feelings of a poet. Sometimes I have similar thoughts. Just as a thought passes through my mind, a complex thing comes to me. This busyness makes me become a vulgar again!"

After Ling Zuhong finished speaking, he looked at Liang Yuanda and laughed at the same time.

The two chatted in the yard, talking about requirements that were not related to work, but in fact only the two knew in their hearts that the meeting today was not accidental.

Recently, the central government’s plan for the 20th National Congress has officially started, and the determination of the candidates for the new Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee began a few years ago.

This job is very difficult and the most important thing.

In addition to the tacit consensus among the current Standing Committee members, the older generation of national leaders, old comrades, leaders of the Central Military Commission, etc. must be communicated in place, and repeated consideration must be made, opinions are solicited widely, and multiple tests can be tested in the end.

Just before that, the leaders of relevant central departments have worked hard for several years for this work. In the past few years, the candidate's goals have gone from vague to clear, from broad to specific. So far, it can be said that they have basically been decided.

At this time, it is less than a year since the 20th National Congress was held. The remaining less than a year will be a very critical, very important and very variable period.

Because this period is the last assessment period for candidates. If there are major problems with candidates during this period, they will inevitably lose their chances, and the backup candidates will replace the position they left behind.

The selection of the highest leadership of the Party has its own set of procedures. The most important core of this set of procedures is to keep it confidential, it must be strictly confidential, and absolutely confidential! There are strict requirements at what time and what the scope of confidentiality is.

Obviously, the recent rumors outside are not groundless. High-level politics can always understand the rules. Almost every time the term change, a similar trend will appear at this critical moment. How to deal with it and guide this trend is an issue that the central government must consider.

"Five years, in the blink of an eye! Looking at the five years of the Republic, you and I have basically completed the task. Why do we say that we have basically completed the task? That is because we still have a huge task that has not been completed yet. Until the last moment, no one can say that the task has been completed." Mr. Liang suddenly spoke, his tone was very light, and his eyes were staring at the small pond.

"Yes, five years are long in the eyes of many people, but in fact they are very short. To sum up the work of these five years, we have achieved achievements, and the results are the main ones, but there are also many places to reflect on!

Especially the work of the government, I have been exhausted in the past five years, but there are always many unsatisfactory things and unsatisfactory things.

Before this time, I would unnaturally think of our latecomers. The situation they face and the domestic and foreign environment they face will be more complex and change more than they are now. Therefore, their test will be greater.

A big country with a population of more than one billion and a world-renowned country, the rejuvenation of such a great nation requires too much effort and hardship. It requires the efforts of countless people and generations." Ling Zuhong said.

He finally led the conversation to the question of successor. Although the candidate for successor was not finalized, he had basically had a goal, which was close to the final determination time.

Liang Yuanda said lightly: "There are many politicians who like to say the word balance, which I don't like the word most in my life. Now this word is the most rumored outside. There are especially many people who hearsay and follow the crowd.

Even if it is not said publicly, it is still a lot of discussion in private. Recently, I have heard a lot of people react to this issue."

He paused, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, took off his glasses and wiped it carefully with the glasses cloth. While wiping, he sighed: "Unclearly, he really realized that he was old. He took off these glasses and saw that the world was completely hazy.

I used to think that my glasses were not cleaned, but now no matter how much I wipe them, I can’t see some things clearly.”

Putting on glasses again, Mr. Liang restored his inherent majesty and said, "Wait for this matter, time is not necessary to be so urgent. Some comrades say that Mr. Ye and I have a unified opinion, which is the most important thing.

There is no difference between General Secretary Ye now, but this cannot be said to be determined. Everything has variables and variables!"

Mr. Liang once again emphasized the variables. Ling Zuhong smiled and said, "The variables are there, but not very much. At least I personally support your opinion. Also, when Du Boss Du took my hand to talk about this matter, he also supported you.

There may be different voices within the current team, but if you vote, I think there is no problem with passing."

Liang Yuanda was halfway through listening and waved his hands repeatedly: "This matter cannot be easily voted. We must be patient with comrades who have objections and believe that they can finally understand this time correctly. We cannot just talk about voting.

Every member of the Politburo voted at the Party Congress. If you really want to vote, you will vote at that time.

The work we are doing now is to ensure that nothing unexpected happens, and give some comrades some time so that they can join our camp. The fewer differences, the more beneficial it will be for subsequent work. This is an irrefutable truth.”

"I understand what the General Secretary means!" Ling Zuhong nodded.

Today, Ling Zuhong came to communicate with President Liang to see President Liang’s attitude towards this matter. Facts have proved that President Liang’s attitude is very clear, but at the same time he seems extremely patient.

The final decision has not been made yet. There are still differences within the team and among the older generation of comrades. Faced with such differences, Mr. Liang's attitude is to give comrades with disagreements enough time instead of making a decision.

Undoubtedly, Mr. Liang's ideas and decisions are very distinctive in the party, and are also considering the future. As he said, on the issue of new members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the more unified everyone's current opinions are, the more beneficial it will be for future work.

In a sense, unity is the issue that Mr. Liang considers the most. Under the circumstances of unity, he realizes the organization's intentions. This is the core of Mr. Liang's current opinions.

As soon as he thought of this, Ling Zuhong just shook his head secretly. Good cadres and suitable candidates will have shortcomings in their work. No one is perfect, no gold is pure. This sentence is truly an eternal truth.

Ling Zuhong recalled his career. When the organization tested him back then, the differences within the central government had once been quite controversial about his entry into the Standing Committee. It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Zuhong's rise to power came along the way in the controversy.

Now, although he still has a prime minister, the baton is ready to move backwards. He found that at this time, he was much more nervous than when he joined the Standing Committee.
Chapter completed!
