Chapter 1359 The unknown inside story

Gu Qiushi sat very well in front of General Secretary. After hearing what the General Secretary said just now, his eyes were slightly pounding, but he didn't dare to jump too much, and then he took it back, looking as if he was listening attentively.

Xia Xiang didn't know that Gu Qiushi's heart was also stormy.

In fact, outsiders may not know that Xia Xiang had already been in the eyes of the General Secretary as early as the dismounting area. At that time, the General Secretary asked someone to sort out Xia Xiang's related resumes for later use.

The General Secretary’s vision is still superior.

From Xiama District, to Langshi, to Tianze, and finally to Qintang, Xia Xiang, who came step by step, not only did not disappoint the General Secretary, but also made the General Secretary more interested in him. If Gu Qiushi had a good reason, Xia Xiang, after being tempered by Langshi, had already truly entered the eyes of the General Secretary when Tianze was mayor.

When it was Qin and Tang Dynasty, Xia Xiang faced a storm after entering the sub-province. The ruthless move of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was not without the last test of the General Secretary for Xia Xiang. Because Xia Xiang was promoted too fast and his foundation was unstable, anyone who accomplished great things must have extraordinary points. The General Secretary just wanted to see with his own eyes whether Xia Xiang was real gold and not afraid of fire!

Xia Xiang, after Qin and Tang dynasties, made the General Secretary truly make up his mind to focus on cultivating. Although Gu Qiushi also understood that at this time, there were many opposition voices within the regiment system, and the opposition force was still particularly powerful.

Even the two most capable assistants of the General Secretary, Mi Jihuo and Mingdemou, did not agree to focus on Xia Xiang. Because Mingdemou was worried, Xia Xiang was not a fellow traveler.

In fact, Mi Jihuo was also worried, but he was gentle and didn't say it directly. Seeing that the General Secretary was very firm, he didn't speak up, but Gu Qiushi still understood his thoughts.

Ming Demou listed the three major shortcomings of Xia Xiang in front of the General Secretary. First, he was too young and had too shallow qualifications. Second, he was growing up, his methods were too tough, he defeated countless opponents, and he was not very good at uniting his colleagues. Third, he was unclear, had too close contacts with family forces, had too many relationships, and even had intersections with civilian forces. There was no clear political tendency so far.

The General Secretary also refuted Ming Demou's statement one by one. At that time, it was at a high-level meeting where only a few people attended. In addition to Mi Jihuo and Ming Demou, Gu Qiushi and Zheng Sheng were also there.

What shocked Gu Qiushi was not the General Secretary’s value of Xia Xiang, but the General Secretary rarely came forward in person and was also protecting Xia Xiang in public, which made people surprised.

Moreover, the General Secretary refuted Ming Demou's argument one by one, which cannot be regarded as a rebuttal. To be more precise, it is more appropriate to say it as persuasion.

First, being young is not a problem, and being short of qualifications is not a key. Dare to promote and reuse young people has always been a distinctive feature and advantage of the group system.

Secondly, it is necessary to have tough measures. Many disadvantages have been highlighted since the development of domestic politics. If you cannot fully realize the problem, the status of the ruling party may be impacted. In the long run, the twilight moment in domestic politics has affected the diplomatic image. Now you must fully realize that the country's internal and external troubles are very serious, and you only know how to hide your strength and keep a low profile. After four generations, a weak system will eventually be formed. If the entire system is weak, and if you want to change it, it will be empty talk.

Empty talk has always ruined the country.

On the second point, the General Secretary explained it particularly far-reachingly, even mentioned Emperor Wu of Han, and focused on it that a country could spend hundreds of years in the early days to recuperate, but after resting for too long, it would directly grow sheep. The reason why the strong Han became a strong Han was because after the governance of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, he left enough political and economic capital for Emperor Wu to fight against the Huns.

It was precisely because Emperor Wu of Han fought against that a strong Han Dynasty was found. If Emperor Wu of Han still insisted on giving in and being weak, perhaps the strong Han Dynasty would really no longer exist.

Third, Xia Xiang’s position is unclear. If we look at it from another perspective, it is not a bad thing, but a good thing. Domestic politics have too much internal friction and too many differences. If one person can become a person recognized by all forces and enter the political stage, it may be a blessing for the people and the country.

If one person could enter the highest level before the age of 50 within the founding of the People's Republic of China, bringing vitality and a new atmosphere to the country, it would not be a waste of the efforts and efforts of several generations, and it would be a great blessing for the country...

The General Secretary said a lot, which is a speech that is absolutely unseen by ordinary people, and it is also an inside story that may never be known to the outside world.

At that time, it brought an inexplicable and huge shock to Gu Qiushi, because the General Secretary seemed not to be talking about Xia Xiang, but to express his feelings in the name of Xia Xiang, and to describe the ideal country in his mind for the next few decades to the people present.

One has the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs and the ideal country that countless people yearn for until death. Unfortunately, the heroes are not far away, and the blood of the revolution has not dried up. In the current domestic officialdom, weeds are everywhere and corrupt officials are everywhere. The apparent prosperity cannot cover up the reality of the loopholes in the system that is riddled with holes.

If a ruling party without supervision does not have the courage to make up for itself and the courage to face its shortcomings, it will eventually be defeated one day. It is not defeated by others, but by itself.

Just like one person, the few people die from accidents, and most of them die from their own diseases.

A meeting may not necessarily determine Xia Xiang's fate, but what brought Gu Qiushi was a real shock, which made him unable to calm down for a long time. He had not had passion and passion, nor had he had ideals and pursuits. But today, when he was in a high position, how many corrupt officials knew what they did, but for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of balance, and for the sake of all aspects of interests, they could only turn a blind eye.

The General Secretary is saying what Xia Xiang said, why don’t he hope for everyone here? Didn’t he teach him sincerely? Was he expressing his helplessness towards reality - even as the General Secretary, there are some strengths and weaknesses, some regrets that are beyond reach, and some times when he is controlled by the system and huge inertia.

Gu Qiushi, who is well aware of the General Secretary’s situation and mood, can only understand the spirit but not speak it out. There are many things in politics that everyone knows well, but they cannot speak out.

Export will lead to disaster.

Today, when the General Secretary said something strongly suggestive in front of Xia Xiang for the first time, Gu Qiushi was shocked again, because he was reminded of Lao Gu in an instant... The General Secretary decided to take the time to meet Xia Xiang immediately after hearing that Xia Xiang first met Lao Gu and Prime Minister in private.

What the General Secretary is concerned about is not the meeting between Xia Xiang and the Prime Minister, but the huge shadow that has been shrouded behind Xia Xiang, and rarely shows off the mountains and rivers - Lao Gu!

The reason why the General Secretary valued Xia Xiang more and more was that it had little to do with Xia Xiang being appreciated by the Prime Minister. The two most critical factors that determined that Xia Xiang was valued by the General Secretary were: one was that the family power headed by the Wu family and Xia Xiang were close to the domestic officialdom. The other was that Lao Gu's maintenance of Xia Xiang was even more important than Xia Xiang's age and level. No one had ever had a harmonious and firm relationship with the military like him.

The main reason is... the relationship between Lao Gu and Xia Xiang, and Lao Gu's unremitting support for Xia Xiang, surpassed the boundaries of the Prime Minister and even surpassed the boundaries of the Wu family. This is the most shocking thing and the most admirable thing for the General Secretary.

Thinking of the upcoming promotion of a group of military generals, the Lao Gu series accounted for one third, the General Secretary only accounted for one third, and the other series accounted for more than one third, Gu Qiushi secretly sighed that the General Secretary’s biggest weakness was that it was not much of a change.

Because of Lao Gu's support, Xia Xiang's halo will rise sharply in the eyes of General Secretary. If Lao Gu lived long enough, if Xia Xiang was smart enough, he would continue to use Xu Guanhua's power to interact with the military in depth, increase friendship, and increase his influence as his status rose, according to Gu Qiushi's calculations, in a few years, the direct descendants of Lao Gu and Xu Guanhua will take over the military. If Xia Xiang can add the influence of Lao Gu and Xu Guanhua, the light on his body will be close to the third generation, no, even surpass the third generation.

Is Xia Xiang lucky or has high wrists? Gu Qiushi has more insights into the General Secretary’s seemingly casual but actually close meeting today.

If the General Secretary used to be waiting and watching Xia Xiang, curious, and reached out to pull a hand, then from now on, the General Secretary really focused on cultivating Xia Xiang and truly placed high hopes.

Yes, it's only two years. In two years, the General Secretary will hand over the greatest power in his hand and hand it over to Guan Yuanqu. As the successor of the next generation, if half of the provinces are dissatisfied, and a few provinces do not support it, and there are no strong alliances around him, it is still unknown whether he can get promoted...

Xia Xiang's further strength and maintaining a good relationship with Xia Xiang is also a prerequisite to ensure his position. With Xia Xiang's age, it is not enough to become his rival of the same generation.

Gu Qiushi's eyes fell slowly and firmly on Xia Xiang's face. Seeing Xia Xiang's smile on her face was humble and low-key, restrained but not ostentatious, she thought she could be appreciated by the General Secretary. Xia Xiang really had something extraordinary. At least he was low-key when he was low-key when he was high-key when he was high-key, and there was no trace in his attitude transformation. Compared with the age of 34 this year, it would be unwilling to be admired.

Xia Xiang slowly calmed down from the General Secretary’s gentle and expectant smile and from Gu Qiushi’s expectant and encouraged gaze. No matter whether the General Secretary had a direct hint or a ardent expectation, or what the General Secretary intended him to come, he only had to do one thing, be humble and honest, listen first, not express his feelings, and not show his position.

If you are too urgent, you can easily lose it from impetuousness. If you are too stubborn, you can easily lose it from Canada.

How to grasp the degree depends entirely on how the current situation develops.
