Chapter 1832 Meeting on a narrow road (please vote for monthly votes, thank you!)
In fact, if divided in general, Lao Gu should also be considered a category of family forces, and it is also a traditional family force. In a narrow sense, he got closer to Fu Yuan, Ji family and even Guan Yuanqu.
Yes, long before Xia Xiang appeared, Lao Gu and Mr. Wu had always had a dislike, and had been fighting openly and secretly for decades.
In other words, if it weren't for Xia Xiang's appearance, Lao Gu's position would definitely stand firmly on the opposite side of the family's power. Even now, Lao Gu's position is not actually consistent with the family's power, nor even keeps up with the general's pace, but always has his own position.
Xia Xiang was not very clear about what role Lao Gu would play in the change of leadership and what kind of political interests he would pursue, and it was difficult to ask clearly. There was only one thing that would make him feel most at ease, that is, Lao Gu would always put his interests first.
Xia Xiang should be relieved.
When Qian Jinsong first went to Lingnan, Lingnan was still the scope of family power in the traditional sense, and the influence of the Qiu family in Lingnan was amazing. Since Chen Haotian took office, not only did the influence of the Ji family in Lingnan decline, but the influence of the Qiu family also gradually contracted, and it was difficult to form a climate again.
Xia Xiang is hard to guess what happened, whether it was behind-the-scenes transactions or coercion and temptation. Anyway, although Chen Haotian seemed to be too low-key in the past few years before his tenure as a member of Lingnan, in fact, many unknown inside stories happened in Lingnan under his rule, which could force the Qiu family and Ji family to retreat, a representative of an emerging family force and a representative of a traditional family force. Chen Haotian's skills are really amazing.
When we arrived at the old ancient deep mansion, it was noon, with the sun shining brightly and a wonderful scene at noon.
As soon as Xia Xiang parked the car, he saw Qian Jinsong strode out.
Qian Jinsong's style remains the same as before, but in his enthusiasm, he feels worried. He holds Xia Xiang's hand tightly: "Xia***, after we have been together for many years, we can only meet today. It's not easy, it's really not easy."
In my impression, Qian Jinsong is not a person with temperament and rarely expresses his feelings in front of others. When he met today, he was filled with emotion when he saw him, and Xia Xiang sighed slightly.
"Governor Qian, I have always missed the time I saved in Yan. Just like the warm sunshine today, it makes people feel endless aftertaste." Xia Xiang also answered poetically.
Qian Jinsong saw that Xia thought was like that of the past, and there was no gap between him. He was in a good mood for a while and was worried.
After entering the room, Lao Gu sat on the sofa and said casually: "Are you back?"
The lighter and boring it is, the closer the relationship between Lao Gu and Xia Xiang is also shown.
"I returned to Beijing with Governor Mi." Xia Xiang nodded and responded, "I ate something on the plane, but now I'm hungry again."
In front of Lao Gu, Xia Xiang would not be polite and treated him as his own.
Lao Gu smiled lovingly: "I know you are not used to rice. Yu Yatou has prepared steamed buns, big cakes, and dumplings for you, and eat whatever you want."
"Governor Qian eat together, don't be polite." Xia Xiang acted as half of the host and enthusiastically invited Qian Jinsong.
Qian Jinsong hesitated and took his seat.
After dinner, Lao Gu took a lunch break on time, and Gu Yu also tactfully said that he wanted to take a nap, which was just enough to make time for Xia Xiang to spend time with Qian Jinsong alone.
This year, Xia Xiang did not make too many arrangements to go around and didn't want to run around. The biggest task was to visit all four old men, and then spend half a day with her son, and then spend half a day with her to spend with Xiao Jia and her daughter. As for Mei Xiaolin and Mei Ting, it depends on whether Mei Xiaolin has time.
If possible, he would also like to meet Chen Feng. When he was on the phone with Chen Feng yesterday, Chen Feng said that he would definitely come to Beijing.
Another thing is to have a conversation with Gu Qiushi, and then... you can go home. You have to go back to Yangcheng in the third year of the Chinese New Year. There are many things that he needs to start in advance, and the special action will be fully launched after the New Year.
However, I didn't expect that when I returned to Beijing, the first person I saw was Qian Jinsong.
The afternoon winter sun is a bit warm, but the winter in the capital is really cold. When I stand in the yard and talk, I feel the cold air enter my body soon.
Xia Xiang and Qian Jinsong stood in the yard, standing under a big tree, Xia Xiang said first: "In recent years, Shuzhong Province has developed well, and it is time to go one step a year, and Governor Qian is good at leading the leaders."
Qian Jinsong is currently the governor of Shuzhong.
Qian Jinsong just shook his head and smiled, obviously unintentionally talking about the economic situation, and directly pointed out the topic: "While I was in Lingnan, I worked with Chen *** for more than half a year..."
Xia Xiang's heart was shocked, it was indeed related to Chen Haotian.
"You may know Chen***'s character, but there are many aspects. I'm afraid you don't know much." Qian Jinsong patted Xia Xiang's shoulder to show his affection. "Xia***, I have known you for a longer time than Chen ***, and now there is no interest in you. What I say is whether you treat it as a conversation between friends or as my concern for you. In short, even if you have heard it, it is only necessary to hear it."
Even if I have heard of it, there are many meanings, but Xia Xiang understood that Qian Jinsong said you know and I know.
Xia Xiang nodded silently. He didn't care what Qian Jinsong was starting point or what he said, and after hearing it, believing it or not, it was another matter. Of course, Xia Xiang would not be so naive that he thought Qian Jinsong came to the interview for 100% because of caring for him.
The every move of a politician cannot be just looking at the surface.
"Lingnan and mountain city have been making a lot of noise recently. Xia***, the time you went to Lingnan is very sensitive, and you must have been very attentive. And I also believe that you have clearly recognized the opportunities and challenges you are facing. But one thing you may not consider is that the dispute between Lingnan and mountain city is not just a matter of becoming a regular person, but also involves the political demands of local forces in Lingnan."
Qian Jinsong looked at the sky, came to the rockery, held his hand behind his back, and said, "Chen *** was meticulous and thoughtful, and often had a wonderful counterattack with a back-up attack. I believe that with your help in the battle between Lingnan and the mountain city, Chen *** will definitely turn defeat into victory."
"But have you ever thought that even if Chen*** wins in the end, whether you can have any benefits, you will offend the huge local forces in Lingnan. I also know that in Qi Province, you won a game in the competition with Qi Province's local forces, but Qi Province's local forces are dead but not dead, and there is also the power to counterattack. Compared with Qi Province's local forces, Lingnan's local forces are more meticulous, more united, and more difficult to defend, because... there is a Ji family in Lingnan!"
"I left Lingnan because I had a disagreement with him in dealing with the Ji family, and because I was dissatisfied with his approach to excluding the Qiu family's forces in Lingnan. As a result, I was out of sync with my work coordination, and then... I was transferred to Shuzhong."
...It was not until Qian Jinsong's special car disappeared around the corner that Xia Xiang took back his gaze and turned back to the courtyard.
Gu Yu was holding a cup of tea, pretending to be raised high, and putting it in front of Xia Xiang with her eyebrows: "The ancients said that they respect each other as guests, and I will be virtuous once."
Xia Xiang took the tea in his hand and laughed: "It's good to raise the desk and eyebrows. There's no need to respect each other as guests. If you're too polite, you'll be alienated."
Gu Yu smiled and held Xia Xiang's arm: "I think beautifully. I will make me raise my eyebrows every day. I'm not upset? It'll be fine once, just be content."
Xia Xiang is sometimes a very contented person, but sometimes he is not. He is tolerant and considerate to Guyu, but he feels complicated and speechless to Chen Haotian.
Qian Jinsong's words, you can even draw conclusions without analysis - most of them are true.
But it cannot be determined based on the words of Qian Jinsong and his family that Chen Haotian's efforts to secretly suppress the family forces were for his own selfishness. Xia Xiang is not afraid to draw a conclusion now, nor will he reassess Chen Haotian's character. What is the internal situation in Lingnan Province? How the Ji family and Qiu family's forces in Lingnan were differentiated and suppressed? It will take a more accurate conclusion to be drawn after an interview with the Ji family in Lingnan after the New Year.
Originally, Xia wanted to meet with the Ji family but didn't have much expectations. Qian Jinsong's unexpected move greatly increased his interest in interviews with the Ji family.
Thinking about what Lao Gu said about the content of the Ji family's talks with him, which was related to Chen Haotian's personal interests, he couldn't help but ask Lao Gu directly.
"How do I know what the Ji family wants to talk to you?" Lao Gu still asked without knowing it. His expression didn't look like he pretended, and he seemed to really not know.
"Qian Jinsong was suddenly transferred from Lingnan back then. What happened behind it?" Xia Xiang asked again.
"You came to the capital for the New Year, not work. From now on, you are not allowed to ask questions anymore. You are only allowed to say good luck and everything goes well." Lao Gu said angrily.
Xia Xiang was speechless and knew what Lao Gu knew. He just avoided talking. He did not force him, so he had to follow Lao Gu: "I wish you good health, good luck in everything, good spirits, and refreshing spirits."
Lao Gu laughed: "By the way, this is called the New Year."
The next day, Xia Xiang had not had time to meet Cao Shuyan first, so he made an appointment with Qiu Xufeng to go to the Fu family. Because he received a call from Fu Xianfeng, Mr. Fu was critically ill.
When Xia Xiang and Qiu Xufeng arrived at the Fu family, the Fu family was in a solemn and serene atmosphere. Depending on the situation, Mr. Fu may be really not good. Today is New Year's Eve. The ancients said that the New Year is over and the New Year is over and sometimes when the elderly are seriously ill, the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the New Year is over and the Annual Eve is over and over.
Fu Xianfeng looked sad and shook hands with Xia Xiang and Qiu Xufeng one by one. Just as the cold day was about to be heard, Mei Xiaolin arrived.
The occasion was wrong, and Mei Xiaolin didn't talk to Xia Xiang. Qiu Xufeng was too much in exchange for help and was waiting to meet Mr. Fu - perhaps the last time, and the few people gathered together to show the unity between the family forces.
It was a gathering of joys and sorrows on earth, but Xia Xiang didn't expect there would be uninvited guests. Not only would there be uninvited guests, but they were also people he didn't want to meet - to be precise, there were three people.
