In mid-July, just as the sanatorium and conference center in the forest park were completed, the final result of the question about Gao Chengsong was finally revealed!

With the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reviewed the serious violations of discipline by Gao Chengsong, former director of the Standing Committee of the Yan Provincial People's Congress, and decided to expel him from the party, revoke his provincial-level position treatment and demote him to deputy department-level treatment.

After investigation, Gao Chengsong intervened in administrative affairs during his tenure as the main leader of Yan Province, seeking personal gain for others and his son Gao Jianyuan, causing huge economic losses to the country. He allowed his spouse and children to use their position to violate discipline and even illegal activities. He used his power to retaliate against comrades who reported their problems truthfully. His secretary Wu Peiyong was sentenced to death in accordance with the law. Gao Chengsong bears the main leadership responsibility for their use of their position to conduct criminal activities.

In addition, the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection believes that Gao Chengsong once served as the governor of Yan Province, secretary of the provincial party committee, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, and should have taken the lead in abide by the party's discipline and serve the people wholeheartedly. However, he relaxed his ideological transformation, and he relied on a high position and power, was not in party discipline, and acted arbitrarily. He eventually embarked on the road of serious violations of discipline, disappointed the expectations of the party organization and the people of Yan Province, seriously hurt the feelings of the people of Yan Province, and caused irreparable damage to the cause of the party and the people. The lesson was profound...

The Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection requires that party member leading cadres, especially major leading cadres, should learn lessons from the serious mistakes made by Gao Chengsong and learn from them as a warning.

When the news came, there was an uproar in Yan Province!

Some people think that the final treatment of Gao Chengsong was too heavy. After all, he was a senior member of a province. After stepping down, he was demoted from the provincial level to the deputy department, making him lose face and unable to take care of his old age. Some people think that the treatment result was too light. It is not an exaggeration to sentence Gao Chengsong to the people of Yan Province and his actions in Yan Province, and at least ten years will be sentenced.

But no matter what, everyone knows that this is probably the final conclusion. From then on, Gao Chengsong, who was once a tycoon in the political arena of Yan Province, will completely fade out of people's sight and slowly disappear from the topics of people's after dinner.

As a result, Yan Province officially bid farewell to the Gao Chengsong era and ushered in the Ye Shisheng era.

A few days later, Gao Chengsong and his family left Yan City on a drizzling day. Before leaving, neither the provincial party committee nor the provincial government came forward, and only a few staff members symbolically saw him off. Gao Chengsong looked at the place where he had worked for nearly 10 years and thought of his son Gao Jianyuan who was serving his sentence in the capital. His heart was indescribable. He stood at the gate of the provincial party committee compound and sighed, and got on the special car arranged by the provincial party committee for him.

After that, Gao Chengsong returned to his hometown in the south to retire and never stepped into Yan Province in his life!

On the day Gao Chengsong left, the Yan Provincial Party Committee held a meeting of the Standing Committee. Provincial Party Secretary Ye Shisheng presided over the meeting and reported on the serious illegal issues that Gao Chengsong had committed. He asked cadres across the province to learn from them, strictly demanded themselves, learn from the serious mistakes that Gao Chengsong made, and at the same time required party and government cadres across the province to conduct self-inspection actions and thoroughly implement the spirit of the speech of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Song Chaodu sat in the standing committee again, looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces present, his heart was also turbulent. Yan Sheng completely bid farewell to the Gao Chengsong era, and he had reason to believe that his opportunity had come. Even if Ye Shisheng had ambitions, he would not have much time left for him. Moreover, based on his understanding of Ye Shisheng, he was not a person who could seize opportunities. Otherwise, as a governor, he would not have any voice as a governor, and he would have been too low-key.

Although Fan Ruiheng is both scheming, courageous, and means, in the eyes of Song Chaodu, what Fan Ruiheng lacks is a far-sighted vision. He does not have the ability to master the overall situation, and is even worse than Gao Chengsong in some aspects.

Song Chaodu thought of Xia Xiang again, and remembered that if Xia Xiang had not been persuaded by Li Dingshan to enter politics, he believed that he would not have impressed Li Dingshan back then. It was precisely because of Xia Xiang's contribution that Mr. Shi also recognized himself at the last moment. At the most critical moment, he came forward to call the capital, squeezed out another strong competitor, successfully became the vice governor, and entered the Standing Committee. In the process of his resurgence, Xia Xiang always appeared.

Not to mention that it was because Xia Xiang found Li Chaosheng's problem that a series of chain reactions triggered, which led to the defeat of Xu Dequan and found Wu Peiyong. Finally, he summarized all the materials to the capital, which prompted the senior management to make up their minds to expel Gao Chengsong from the party. Everything Xia Xiang did was to suppress Gao Chengsong's last straw!

Xia Xiang... is really a good young man. Since he appeared in his sight, he brought him all good luck. His battle with Gao Jianyuan disrupted Gao Chengsong's sight and allowed himself to take action calmly. He even found Wen Yang from prison. Because Wen Yang provided evidence about Gao Jianyuan's illegal annexation of state property, the personnel in the capital took action in time and intercepted Gao Jianyuan, who almost flew abroad at the airport. One by one, he unknowingly helped him a big favor.

Song Chaodu secretly made up his mind that when he truly took office, he would take Xia Xiang by his side and train him as a confidant. In the officialdom, it would be better to think longer-term. If you want to think about the future, you should make more plans for the aftermath after you step down. Otherwise, like Gao Chengsong, once you step down, you will become a lonely person. Even if you become the secretary of the provincial party committee, it would be too failure.

The Yan Municipal Party Committee also convened a meeting of the Standing Committee. Chen Feng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, presided over the meeting and informed the decision of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Li Dingshan, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, also officially attended the meeting. He sat at Fang Jinjiang's lower head, and looked at all the standing committee members present with serious expressions, thinking that Gao Chengsong was dealt with seriously, I am afraid that it would cause a lot of shock to everyone.

At the same time, he thought about the current situation that Song Chaodu was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and Xia Xiang was a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. In general, they all achieved their respective goals. Thinking about the summer of 1998, when Xia Xiang was devoted to persuade him to enter politics, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. If it weren't for Xia Xiang's advice at that time, without him dealing with it, he keenly discovered that the market for the large LCD screen was bleak, and he might have fallen on the big screen project, and he would never have had the chance to turn around, and there would be no scene of sitting in the meeting room of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee today and holding a meeting calmly. After careful consideration, Xia Xiang was really the lucky star he was the lucky star he had, helping him to get to where he was today.

Thinking that Xia Xiang was doing well in An County, Li Dingshan showed a knowing smile.

However, unlike the Song Dynasty and Li Dingshan who were full of confidence at the Standing Committee, Xia Xiang's situation was a bit bad at the Standing Committee of the An County Party Committee, because several Standing Committee members led by Fang Yuhui attacked his proposal of "connecting mountains and rivers".

Because Xia Xiang is now the executive deputy county magistrate, the municipal party committee nominated Deputy County magistrate Deng Junjie from several deputy county magistrates to join the Standing Committee. At first, Xia Xiang did not notice Deng Junjie because the 40-year-old Deng Junjie seemed to have no personality. He usually agreed with everything, often smiled, had a bad temper, and was a famous good-looking person in the government. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the Standing Committee, he suddenly became like a different person, sharp and aggressive, and obviously stood with Fang Yuhui!

It turned out that everyone in the officialdom was born actors, and Xia Xiang felt helpless - because although Fang Yuhui took the lead in attacking him, he completely denied his proposal and belittled him.

If the Sanshi Scenic Area is expanded again, there will be no obvious effect. It can be said that the input and output are disproportionate. Some time ago, Xia Xiang took the time to contact Jiang Tian, ​​the Changzhou County, and had an in-depth conversation with the idea of ​​"connecting mountains and rivers". Although it is not small, Jiang Tian, ​​who is also deeply troubled by the increase in tourists in the Sanshui Scenic Area, is also very interested in Xia Xiang's idea and also reported to Wei Shun, the secretary of the Jingxian County Party Committee. After hearing this, Wei Shun also said it was feasible, so he let Jiang Tian and Xia Xiang maintain contact and conduct in-depth research.

After discussing the framework of preliminary intentional cooperation with Jiang Tian, ​​Xia Xiang decided to submit it to the Standing Committee for discussion. He originally thought that the resistance would be on the side of Jingxian County, but unexpectedly, after the Jingxian Standing Committee discussed it three days later, it passed it in An County, but it got stuck.

Fang Yuhui first raised his objection: "Mr. Xia's idea is bold and amazing innovation, but it is a bit of a risk of advancing. The 50-kilometer mountain road is not long, but the cost of building a mountain road is high and the danger is great, and it requires huge funds. Well, these difficulties can be solved smoothly under the strong influence of County Mayor Xia. What if the effect of mutual communication cannot be achieved after the construction is completed? If only tourists from An County go to Jing County, but tourists from Jing County don't come to An County, wouldn't we be suckers? Wouldn't we make wedding clothes for others? The idea is good, but it is still too idealistic."

Fang Yuhui's words were quite tactful. Xia Xiang just smiled faintly and did not refute it, but then Deng Junjie couldn't wait to jump out and refute Xia Xiang's idea without mercy.

"County Magistrate Xia, after listening to your idea, I want to ask you something?" The common smile on Deng Junjie's face disappeared, replacing a cold and business-related look, which surprised Xia Xiang slightly.

"You proposed the joint development with Jing County. Is it for the sake of An County or for the sake of the political achievements of County Mayor Jiang in Jing County? Everyone knows that you have a good relationship with County Mayor Jiang, and your idea sounds like a fantasy, and people have to doubt your intentions!" After Deng Junjie said, his scrutiny eyes turned lightly on Xia Xiang's face. The grim expression on his face made Xia Xiang almost unable to believe that he was the Deputy County Mayor Deng who smiled when he saw people?

Deng Junjie's words were too lethal. As soon as he said that, almost all the Standing Committee members present were shocked and looked surprised.

Xia Xiang is a hero of An County and has a great origin. Moreover, he has always been kind to others and has never been popular with others. Deng Junjie's accusations today are not only abrupt, but also a stern tone, making people not know where he took the wrong medicine.

After being slightly shocked, Xia Xiang still said calmly: "County Magistrate Deng, your accusations are groundless. Don't draw conclusions based on your personal guesses. If you say that as long as you join forces with other counties, you will have selfish thoughts, how can you carry out the work of An County in the future?"

Xia Xiang's counterattack was reasonable and well-founded, and he did not lose his composure.

Deng Junjie still said in a bad tone: "There is no problem with joining with other counties, but it is a problem with joining with Jing County. County Mayor Xia, the 50-kilometer mountain road is not just repaired. Your idea is not only a bit naive, but also as impossible as the castles in the air. I suspect that your true intention is to draw a wonderful prospect first, and then join Jing County to ask the city for money. After the city's funds are in place, it will be left alone."

With a "bang", Mei Xiaolin slapped the table and said angrily: "Deputy County Mayor Deng, the Standing Committee is discussing work issues. Please do not attack personally!"

Qiu Xufeng blinked, wanted to say something, but took it back.

The newly transferred Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection Che Xiao is 41 years old this year, with a round face, light eyebrows and thin lips. He shook his head and smiled and said, "Secretary Fang said something. Since ancient times, road construction has been a big deal, let alone mountain roads, which is too difficult. 50 kilometers are built just for a scenic spot, which is a bit of a big deal. However, County Magistrate Deng's words are still a bit too much. They are all for revolutionary work. How can we say that County Magistrate Xia is for County Magistrate Jiang's political achievements? It's simply nonsense. Okay, don't argue, just discuss the matter. Quarrel cannot solve the problem. I don't think this proposal is suitable."

Che Xiao also voted against it.

Xia Xiang glanced at Mei Xiaolin, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. Mei Xiaolin's eyes were already angry. It was obvious that she was angry, but she was trying hard to restrain herself.

Qiu Xufeng rubbed his forehead, and a trace of uneasiness faintly flashed through his heart.

Zhang Jian shook his head: "I want to criticize Comrade Deng Junjie. I speak too idealistically and too arbitrary. Don't easily draw conclusions to others. Comrade Xia Xiang's idea is good. Although it is a bit ambitious, it is also devoted to the tourism plan of An County. It cannot suppress any comrade's enthusiasm for work, right?" He looked at Xia Xiang with a slightly apologetic expression on his face. "Although that's the case, the plan for connecting mountains and rivers is still unreasonable, and I think it is not feasible."

Zhang Jian was also opposed.

Xia Xiang was feeling heavier and heavier. After a series of personnel adjustments, he suddenly realized that at some point the Standing Committee of An County had formed a new faction again. Several new Standing Committee members, from Deng Junjie, Che Xiao to Zhang Jian, were quietly pulled to Fang Yuhui's side.

Fang Yuhui has a lot of energy, and he really underestimated him before.

Rong Zhi, the Director of the Organization Department, has always been firmly standing on Xia Xiang's side because of Fang Jinjiang's relationship. She said in a speech: "Although Comrade Xia Xiang's idea has taken a bigger step, it still has a far-reaching impact from the long-term perspective. It can fully utilize the resource advantages of An County and Jing County, complement each other's advantages and share resources. After the mountain road is completed, it will definitely greatly promote tourism exchanges between the two places. If the mountain road is built, it will bring about 10% of the passenger flow, and within three years, the investment in the mountain road can be recovered."

Rongzhi voted in favor.

Ping Ji, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, said concisely: "I agree with Comrade Xia Xiang's proposal. When it is time to be bold, I will boldly move forward. I only say one thing. Comrade Xia Xiang has made outstanding contributions to the economic development of An County. None of the projects he proposed failed. My speech was over!"

Although there were two strong support, the Minister of Propaganda Luo Wencai then abstained, while the Minister of Armed Forces Kong Jian, the Director of the County Party Committee Cai Yi, and the Secretary of the Party Committee of Sanshi Township Duan Dake expressed opposition, and both expressed Xia Xiang's proposal that was not very operational and was not optimistic about the prospects.

For a moment, Xia Xiang seemed to be in a state of entanglement.

Mei Xiaolin first glanced at Xia Xiang. Seeing that he was calm, she looked at Qiu Xufeng again. She obviously saw the retreat from Qiu Xufeng's eyes. She couldn't help but curse Qiu Xufeng in her heart that she had to let her like her, without the courage and responsibility of a man. It was obvious that before submitting it to the Standing Committee, she, Qiu Xufeng and Xia Xiang had already met, and Qiu Xufeng also clearly stated that she wanted to support her strongly. When the matter came, he actually wanted to go back on his word.

Not really a man!

Mei Xiaolin said seriously with a stern face: "Comrade Xia Xiang's proposal was actually a result of careful consideration. He personally went to the mountain to conduct on-site inspections, drove off-road vehicles, tested the mountain roads in dangerous road conditions, made budgets, solicited opinions from the city, and went deep into the tourists to conduct market research. Almost all tourists were very interested in the interconnection of Sanshi Scenic Area and Sanshui Scenic Area, saying that once it was opened, they would have the opportunity to visit two scenery within a day without having to travel around the distance, which greatly increased their interest in going out to play... I think this proposal is feasible. Once implemented, it will bring new opportunities for the economic development of An County."

If Mei Xiaolin's speech ended everywhere and there was not much shock, she unexpectedly changed her subject and said firmly: "The Standing Committee is where everyone speaks freely and also where everyone needs to give advice. For any member of the Standing Committee who opposes Comrade Xia Xiang's proposal, I suggest that everyone propose a practical plan for the next step of the economic rise of An County. At this stage, all work in An County has achieved gratifying achievements under the planning of Comrade Xia Xiang and under the correct leadership of Secretary Qiu. However, we cannot be self-consistent. To make progress and develop, we need collective strength."

The last sentence means, aren’t you united to oppose Xia Xiang’s proposal? Okay, different voices are allowed to appear, but you can’t just oppose not to do practical things. Since you oppose Xia Xiang’s proposal, please come up with better ideas that are conducive to the economic development of An County.

As soon as Mei Xiaolin finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below.

Qiu Xufeng judged the situation and knew that if he didn't stand up and stayed consistent with Xia Xiang, he would not expect to get Xia Xiang's response in the future. Mei Xiaolin just now also hinted that he would find it difficult to carry out his work in An County without Xia Xiang's support. Qiu Xufeng thought about it, and the Standing Committee member headed by Fang Yuhui had become a Tuaner. If he didn't stand firm in time, he would become a lonely person.

Qiu Xufeng showed the majesty of the top leader: "Comrade Xia Xiang's proposal is very good. If it is implemented smoothly, it will not only increase many employment opportunities in An County during the construction of the mountain road, but also predictable benefits after the mountain road is completed. Looking at the problem, we must analyze more from different angles and think more. In terms of how to better develop the economy of An County, County Mayor Xia's efforts are obvious to all. I also believe that everyone here knows the vision of County Mayor Xia and the work of successfully operating projects. I support County Mayor Xia's proposal. If you have any good suggestions, you can also put them out for discussion."

In history, construction of projects and road construction have been the most easily recognized political achievements on the surface. Unexpectedly, they were firmly opposed by Fang Yuhui and others, and Qiu Xufeng felt depressed. After finally working with Xia Xiang, he was about to do a big fight, but he encountered unprecedented resistance.

Although Xia Xiang was not feeling well, he was not as sulking as Qiu Xufeng. He carefully analyzed the current situation and concluded that if he was within the scope of Yan City, his relationship network might be able to control the situation, but in the province, after Gao Chengsong completely fell, the power of the province was reshuffled, and the power was in the hands of Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng. Ye Shisheng probably had no impression of himself, and even if he had, he would not have a good impression. Not to mention Fan Ruiheng, because he had the lessons of Gao Jianyuan, he must have been guarding against and suppressing himself.

There is also Cui Xiang, now the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. When he was dealing with Gao Chengsong together, he might have said a few good things for himself out of his own needs. Now without Gao Chengsong, the biggest enemy, everyone is standing back on the side. Cui Xiang will no longer have any good feelings for himself because of Chen Feng.

Secretary Lu has retreated. Although Chen Feng entered the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he was in a little weak situation. Of course, Ma Wanzheng, Song Chaodu and Xing Duantai are also forces that cannot be ignored, but fear is scared. If Ye Shisheng joins hands with Fan Ruiheng for some demand, if the top and second-in-command are consistent in their views, they will form a decisive force.

In fact, after defeating Gao Chengsong, the situation in Yan Province, Yan City and even An County became more complicated than before, and the political struggle was even more tragic than before.
Chapter completed!
