Chapter 1921: A huge vortex gradually forms (small votes!)

The problem is complicated.

When Chen Haotian proposed to let Xia Xiang focus all his energy on internal affairs in Lingnan, Xia Xiang really thought that the wind and rain outside would be blocked by several mountains, and he would no longer have to withstand unnecessary wind and rain.

Now it seems that he is wrong.

Some people were resentful of him and did not let him go because he stopped reasonably now. They could not find his loopholes directly for the time being, so they indirectly attacked the people around him.

Unfortunately, my father-in-law was the first to be victim!

Although a consensus has been reached to let my father-in-law retreat, the problem is that retreating with the flow and being forced to retreat is very different. And some people also want to destroy the reputation of my father-in-law for a lifetime, and their hearts are punished!

Xia Xiang knew that in the army, a force led by Wu Xiaoyang was gathering. In the local opposition, in addition to the chairman, several other people also began to sway him. The biggest contest before the change of leadership was gradually forming a huge vortex with Lingnan as the fulcrum.

In fact, after the dispute between Lingnan and Shancheng, Xia Xiang had already jumped out of the circle after a brief contact with Hou Kanggou after the Fu family incident. It was not because his impression of Hou Kanggou had greatly changed, but because under the new situation, it seemed that there was no fierce conflict between Chen Haotian and Hou Kanggou. From the perspective of the overall environment, it seemed that the waves were much calmer.

In addition, the Two Sessions will be held in less than a month. At this time, the energy of the senior management was restrained by the last two Sessions of the current central government. Xia Xiang also believed that before the Two Sessions, there would be no big accident. Unexpectedly, Lingnan was calm, but the northeast was windy, and the limelight was very strong, hurting his father-in-law.

Xia Xiang's thoughts gradually became clear. After he arrived in Lingnan, although he did not clearly state his position on the matter of Chen Haotian's entry into the convention, becoming the general leader of Chen Haotian's special operation was equivalent to announcing to the outside world his position to support Chen Haotian.

If it were someone else, the position of a deputy to the provincial party committee was insignificant and had nothing to do with the overall situation, but Xia Xiang was not someone else, he was the core figure of the family power!

If the scene that happened at the door of the Fu family last time was against a move to take the opportunity to test the family's power. Although he was defeated at that time, he now made a comeback with Wu Xiaoyang's incident, and finally let the other party find a breakthrough and attack Cao Yongguo.

Hou Kang went... Xia Xiang recited the name silently three times in his heart.

He could not sleep all night, and although the place Gu Qiushi arranged for him was particularly secluded and comfortable, he could not fall asleep. Years of officialdom storms have made him develop a steely resilience. No matter how sinister and cunning the other party were, he could sleep peacefully. But this time he was targeting his father-in-law. He always felt ashamed of his father-in-law, who had always cared about his life to the people around him.

As soon as the sky was dawn, Cao Yongguo called in: "Xia Xiang, I'm in the capital." I couldn't hear any dissatisfaction or frustration in Cao Yongguo's voice.

An hour later, at the place where Xia Xiang stayed, Xia Xiang received Cao Yongguo.

What's different from Xia Xiang's worry is that Cao Yongguo is energetic and relaxed, and has not been affected by the attack. He seems to have removed the burden in his heart, which makes Xia Xiang feel a little relieved.

Gu Qiushi arranged a villa area without a name, remote and quiet. In the early morning of the capital in early spring, the spring is chilly and the breeze is swaying. Xia wanted to meet Cao Yongguo again, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

This year will surely be an uneasy year, with many events that are worth remembering in history, and even... major events.

Cao Yongguo said first: "Xia Xiang, for many years, I have not used my official experience to guide you in anything, but today I hope you can listen to me, endure the calm and calm for a while, take a step back and the vast sky. I retreat, you go to Beijing, after a year and a half, after you straighten your body, look back at today, it's just a passing cloud."

Xia Xiang felt very moved. How many people in the officialdom who could be open to the position of the provincial party committee like his father-in-law? There were even more unique people who were squeezed out of the position of the provincial party committee without complaints. Of course, he also knew that the reason why his father-in-law was open to the position of unreasonable struggle was actually for him.

How could Xia Xiang not know about his father-in-law’s thoughts? If Cao Yongguo swallowed the anger that he was squeezed from the throne, perhaps the other party would stop and would not be detrimental to him anymore. The other party... including opposition to Yilian and the military.

But Xia Xiang has to say that his father-in-law has been in the officialdom for many years, and the biggest reason why he has always been conservative but not enterprising is that he is too kind!

As a person in the officialdom, it is not that he must harm others, but he must be cautious and always beware of others. Every official position is the most precious social resource. If you sit on it, there will always be countless people looking forward to you falling head-on so that he can replace him.

My father-in-law's starting point is good, and he is also based on the intention of calming things and protecting him. However, my father-in-law still thinks things too simply. Power brings not only absolute will, but also superior authority. No one will give in because of kindness, nor will he retreat because of soft heart. Power sometimes has to decide the outcome, or even fight with his true skills in the shadow of swords and swords to be willing to accept the loss.

"Dad, I will make a request to the central government. You can withdraw, but you must solve your vice-national treatment." Xia Xiang did not answer Cao Yongguo's proposal positively, but instead said his true thoughts without any concealment. "The recent series of actions in the capital city have an inherent connection with Lingnan. The other party did not force us to retreat, but to force us to the edge of the cliff, or even... another strong wind blows, causing us to fall off the cliff."

Cao Yongguo didn't believe it very much: "Xia thought, don't think too badly about others. If you fight for it, isn't it just a seat?"

Xia Xiang didn't know whether it was helpless or sad. No wonder his father-in-law was in the last days and was not only too gentle but also too kind in his heart, but his eyes were not broad enough.

"What we are fighting for is not only a position, but also a power, and it is also a route." Xia Xiang pointed out the key points in one sentence, "Whoever has the guiding ideology dominated the mainstream will be the winner."

Cao Yongguo figured out something and was suddenly shocked: "You go to Lingnan and let Hou Kang go and see you dislike you?"

"It's more than just dislike." Xia Xiang shook his head and said, "Maybe Song ***'s actions in Ji Jiang sting his eyes. In addition, I was very close to Chen *** in Lingnan. With my close relationship with Song *** and Chen ***, I naturally became a thorn in the eyes of some people."

Cao Yongguo was about to say something, but suddenly, Xia Xiang's phone rang.

Xia Xiang answered the phone immediately as soon as he saw that it was Song Chaodu's call.

The long-lost voice of Song Dynasty sounded, and only said one sentence: "Xia Xiang, I'm in the capital, let's talk again when we meet."

Song Chaodu also entered Beijing urgently. The matter... It was really not small, and he was a little nervous about the storm of wind and forests.

Another hour later, Song Chaodu also arrived.

Song Chaodu first saw Cao Yongguo who was welcomed out, and was stunned. Then he smiled silently, strode forward and clasped his hands tightly with Cao Yongguo: "Yongguo, I think you should be there too."

"Chaodu, if you come, I feel much more at ease." Cao Yongguo and Song Chaodu have known each other for many years. Although they are not close friends, they are still in Yan Province and are much closer to each other.

"Yongguo, I will stand with you any time." Song Chaodu was in high spirits today, and there was probably major news.

Welcoming the Song Dynasty, Xia thought of tea: "Song***, did the ancient *** call to invite you to Beijing?"

Song Chaodu shook his head: "No, I'm here to meet you."

Xia Xiang was shocked. Song Chaodu had always been calm in everything. This time, he flew directly to the capital without even calling one in advance. Is it much more serious than he thought?

"A few days ago, I met Chen*** and Gu*** in the capital." Song Chaodu did not ambush. Xia Xiang and Cao Yongguo were both people he trusted absolutely, so he told the truth, "On the surface, Lingnan is calm and the southwest is peaceful. In fact, a new wave is brewing."

As a person in the officialdom, you cannot stay out of every wave, especially when you reach a high position at the provincial and ministerial level, you can't do it without expressing your opinion or taking a team.

...Xia Xiang heard Song Chaodu's words, in addition to being shocked, because things were still very complicated than he thought!

...

Song Chaodu agreed with Xia Xiang's idea and supported Xia Xiang to stay in Lingnan. At the same time, he was willing to do his best to seek the treatment of the vice-state level for Cao Yongguo. Song Chaodu also understood Cao Yongguo's idea and expressed his understanding of Cao Yongguo's timely retreat, but also hoped that Cao Yongguo would argue with reason and must preserve his reputation and not create the illusion of being forced to retreat due to his reputation being damaged. It is indeed heartbreaking for a lifetime of Qing Dynasty to be destroyed.

Cao Yongguo also accepted the reality. Under Xia Xiang's persuasion and Song Chaodu's guidance, he also gained a clearer understanding of the situation. If anyone has worked hard for the party and the country for his whole life, there is no excessive demand for the provincial and ministerial officials in the country, and Cao Yongguo should be one of them. Even if his main consideration for retreating was to give in to Xia Xiang, he still had to retreat to the right place and retreat openly and to regard early retreat as an opportunity or a prerequisite, and propose to the central government to resolve the treatment of the vice-state level.

With Cao Yongguo's lifelong integrity and his feelings of retreating early, the demands are not excessive.

At noon, Xia wanted to accompany the Song Dynasty, so Cao Yongguo had a simple meal.

In the afternoon, I received a call from Gu Yu and asked him to come over to meet Lao Gu.

On the way to Laogu's house, Xia Xiang received another call from Gu Qiushi, saying that he would take time to meet him and ask him to be prepared at any time. As soon as he put down Gu Qiushi's phone call, Ye Tiannan called again.

"Xia***, I just learned that you have gone to Beijing and just talked to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister asked me to tell you that he wanted to meet and talk with you!"

Xia Xiang didn't know at this time that he happened to be a grand event and was about to participate in a major event that would change history.
