Major changes

... Unexpectedly, a seemingly ordinary kneeling incident followed by a series of political storms!

Ai Chengwen was filled with emotion.

He admitted that since he became secretary, he has made no achievements in Langshi, and has no political achievements. He is mainly because he was jointly controlled by Gu Xiangguo and Oh Chen, and he was unable to use his skills.

At this time, facing countless flashlights and dark people, it was Sikong's usual thing. He also spoke many times outside, talked in a mandarin language and talked loudly, and never said stage fright. But now, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

It was not his credit for Jiao Di to rehabilitate it. When he was accustomed to the fact that all political achievements belonged to the secretary, facing the gratitude of the Jiao family father and son, seeing Jiao Da Lao crying, the sadness and joy from the heart, and Jiao Di's expression that survived the disaster made Ai Chengwen couldn't help but burst into tears again.

When a person truly becomes a superior, he looks down on the people from a high position, but in fact he has a public heart deep in his heart, and will be compassionate and care about the people.

Ai Chengwen's voice even trembled. He helped Jiao Da up: "Friends, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, I failed to return the blue sky in Lang City and failed to rehabilitate the unjust case in time for the wronged persons. I am ashamed of the trust of more than 1 million fellow villagers in Lang City!"

Ai Chengwen bowed deeply with tears in his face!

Thunderous applause burst out from the crowd, and it lasted for a long time...

The reporters all captured the moment Ai Chengwen bowed in tears and took a scene of far-reaching significance. Xia Xiang beside Ai Chengwen was bent down to help Jiao Dian, and reached out to pat the dust on Jiao Dian's clothes, and even wiped away the tears from Jiao Dian's face. Xia Xiangzhi's true and affectionate actions were also photographed by many reporters, and it was frozen into eternity.

What no one expected was that the next day, the National Daily, the largest newspaper in China, published a national news that caused a sensation in an important position, titled "The Secretary Sheds Tears, the Executive Vice Mayor Wipes Tears...", and also published a photo of Ai Chengwen bowing and crying while Xia Xiang was next to him. The visual effect was very impactful, and the editor's note pointed out that the secretary's tears were sympathy and guilt for the people, and the executive vice mayor's tears was love and pity for the people, how to be close to the people, whether there are ordinary people in his heart, whether he really does things for the people, and see big articles in small details...

As soon as the National Daily was released, Ai Chengwen and Xia Xiang became famous.

The Propaganda Department of the Yan Provincial Party Committee received countless calls in the morning, asking to interview Ai Chengwen and Xia Xiang, but they were blocked from going back. The Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee was very unhappy because they did not receive any news in advance and were very passive. The Provincial Party Secretary Fan Ruiheng also gave instructions as soon as possible that the media in Yan Provincial Party Committee shall not report on the matters in Lang City.

However, the next day, the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League published another commentator article, which highly praised the behavior of the Secretary of the Lang Municipal Party Committee bowing and crying and the Executive Vice Mayor wiped the tears of the elderly. The comment pointed out that doing practical things for the people is not just a slogan, but must come from the heart and from the heart, and always forget your identity as a public servant of the people, so that you can naturally be happy and sad with the people.

The positive and high evaluation of the National Daily and the League Department’s official newspapers shows the support of the Civilians and League Departments towards Ai Chengwen and Xia Xiang’s approach. Thinking about the Jiao Dian case is not an ordinary wrongful case, but also involves complex political struggles, it indirectly explains a deeper problem.

But then several influential national newspapers published articles one after another, pointing out that the municipal party secretary and executive vice mayor should do more practical things and develop the economy, rather than show off, nor be innovative and self-proclaimed...

It can be said that the above newspapers completely distorted the tune and were skeptical and critical of the actions of Ai Chengwen and Xia Xiang.

The outside world watched the fun, and the insiders looked at the tricks. Xia wanted to know the root cause of Gu Xiangguo's sudden confidence, and there was a division within the central government. No matter what the reason was, Gu Xiangguo might have regained support.

Ai Chengwen did not expect that an ordinary incident would be deliberately exploited by someone who was interested. He also felt pressure from all aspects, but the matter had already been put into the public's sight, so there was only one way forward.

A few days later, the central government began a series of major actions and intensively announced a series of appointments of senior provincial and ministerial officials, and the country re-entered a new pattern period.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Quanxin announced his retirement from illness, and Chief Hyde took over as Vice Premier - this was a very rare appointment in the country's political life, which immediately aroused a lot of speculation from the outside world.

The outside world speculation Xia Xiang didn't care. He already knew what profound impact the situation in Langshi would have on the situation in Langshi.

And there may be adverse effects.

The situation in Langshi is now calm on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrent and explosive news will be heard at any time. Evidence of the joint efforts between Gu Xiangguo and the cold-quality party to create unjust, false and wrong cases have been submitted to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Li Yanhong also personally replied that he would seriously investigate and deal with it, but more than half a month has passed, but there has been no news.

Obviously, I encountered some resistance.

In addition, Chen has lost his power of resistance. He has been discharged from the hospital and hid at home and waited for the final trial. The evidence submitted by Cui Jian and the evidence collected by Xia Xiang from various channels are enough to beat Chen so hard that he could not turn over, but it has not been released now. He wants to solve the problem of Gu Xiangguo first.

Gu Xiangguo is the top priority, he doesn't fall, and Chen's fall is not very meaningful. But what Xia Xiang knows more clearly is that a series of public opinion orientations and a series of personnel adjustments have made the originally clear situation suddenly become confusing again.

Gu Xiangguo is really a tree with deep roots and it is difficult to fall down. Xia Xiang rubbed his forehead, picked up the phone, and pulled out a number.

"Hello, Minister Wu."

As a member of the Politburo and Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee, if there is a deputy department-level cadre who can talk to him directly, that person is undoubtedly Xia Xiang. There is no second deputy department-level official in China who can receive such treatment.

Wu Caiyang was very surprised by Xia Xiang's call. This was the first time Xia Xiang called him on his own initiative.

"What's the matter?" Wu Caiyang's voice was still as indifferent as before, alienated and unhuman.

Xia Xiang didn't expect Wu Caiyang to change his impression of him. He just wanted to ask about it and said: "The news media has been overly concerned about Lang City recently. I want to ask Minister Wu's opinions and what do you think about some positive and negative publicity about Lang City..."

Public opinion is the direction, the wind direction, and it is also the expression of each force. Wu Caiyang is in charge of the Central Propaganda Department and must be well aware of the political tendencies of everyone at the top of the central government, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in the Central Propaganda Department.

The mouthpiece of the party is definitely a crucial department.

Wu Caiyang heard what Xia Xiang meant and suddenly laughed: "The abacus hit me, I'm very brave." He paused for about a few seconds and said, "I heard Yan Hong say that he encountered resistance in the provincial party committee, but he has decided to report it to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."

The conversation with Wu Caiyang was very short, and the two men had estrangement, hatred, and had little common language. Xia Xiang was already very satisfied. At least Wu Caiyang did not express any opinions on his actions, which proves that the Wu family had a neutral position in this matter, and it can even be said that they were slightly biased towards his position.

It’s time for news. Summer wants to look at the trees that are extremely lush outside the window. Autumn is here, and it’s time to come to an end.

A week later, the wind started.

News came from the province that Gu Xiangguo, the mayor of Lang City, was suspected of embezzlement and bribery and creating unjust and false cases with the cold-selected party, and was under investigation by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection! The day after the news came out, Gu Xiangguo asked the municipal party committee for sick leave and disappeared from the public eye.

Mayor Gu is going to be dismissed?

People were talking about it and asked about the inside story, but without exception, they could not find out any valuable information, because everyone was very secretive about Gu Xiangguo's affairs, and there was no definite statement whether Gu Xiangguo asked for leave to be controlled by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection or whether he went to another place.

Immediately afterwards, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial High Court announced that it was found that the amount of bribes for cold parties embezzled and accepted as much as more than 40 million yuan. In addition to confiscating their illegal income, all bribers will also be held accountable.

The cold-quality prescription case that has not been announced to the public has finally been put on the surface, fully demonstrating the determination of the Yan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to fight corruption and promote integrity.

After hearing the above two messages, Xia Xiang finally showed a gratified smile, but he was still worried in his heart because he knew that Gu Xiangguo was indeed not controlled by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but went to the capital.

According to various signs, I'm afraid Gu Xiangguo may really escape. How could Xia Xiangguo be willing to let Gu Xiangguo continue to be free? But he also understands that the domestic political climate is complex and changeable, and the pressure above will make many people change their positions at any time. Fortunately, after the last media publicity, Ai Chengwen had no way out and had no way to retreat. He had to fight against him.

The next day, news came from the province that Gu Xiangguo had been under double supervision and was explaining the problem. It is said that Mayor Gu embezzled more than 100 million yuan, and there were dozens of people involved in the case. Gu Xiangguo may be sentenced to death!

When the news came, the Lang Municipal Committee was shocked.

Everyone asked about the authenticity of the news, but everyone was secretive. As long as the three words "Auntaka the Kingdom" were mentioned, they shook their heads and refused to answer. Ai Chengwen and Xia Xiang were even more silent and never expressed any opinions.

In the evening, after get off work, Xia Xiang stepped out of the gate of the municipal party committee compound and received a strange call. If it was a call he didn't know, he would not answer it, but the call was the number of the Beijing city, and the section was very special, so he felt a move in his heart and answered it decisively.

As expected, it was ancient times.

"Mayor Xia..." Gu Xiangguo stretched his tone, with a faint threatening tone and a hint of complacent, "Don't force people too much, leave some room for everything."

Xia Xiang actually knew that Gu Xiangguo had not been under double supervision. He had been hiding in the capital and did not want to do anything until now. He still did not repent and looked proud, and said: "Mayor Gu, when you created an unjust case for personal gain, when you charged Chen's benefits to other legal businessmen, when you and Chen joined forces in Lang City, did you ever think about leaving room for others?"

Gu Xiangguo was angry: "Don't think I'm afraid of you. I'm just reminding you that if you pursue me relentlessly, we will die together."

Xia Xiang was not polite: "I listen to the emperor, I will always be able to wait for Mayor Gu's methods."

Gu Xiangguo sneered a few times: "Xia Xiang, wait, have your good fruits to eat, haha..." He hung up the phone after a burst of arrogant laughter.

The next day, Gu Xiangguo returned to Lang City. His Zhi was satisfied and arrogant, as if he was announcing to the owner of the Lang City Municipal Party Committee that he was back and had nothing to do with. All the rumors were rumors and could not do anything to him.

The emergence of Gu Xiangguo is indeed shocking. I don’t understand why Mayor Gu has not been subjected to double supervision, so why is there groundlessness? He said that he was controlled by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? It was messed up and all was messed up. The current political atmosphere is becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

It's right if you can't understand it. Xia Yao understood that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has not taken measures against Gu Xiangguo yet because someone from the central government has spoken. The original words may be different from rumors, but the meaning is roughly the same. A central leader said in person: "Comrade Gu Xiangguo also has a good side, and it's not easy for him to this day, so let it go..."

The sentence "Forget it" immediately made Li Yanhong hinder. He had already decided to double the rules of Gu Xiangguo, but now he is undecided, so there is a ridiculous thing that has been heard, but it has never been implemented.

But "forget it" is also meaningful. Just go to a certain point, just beat it properly, or don't move at all, just forget it? The leader's speech is very subtle, but it will be difficult for the people below to figure it out.

It is indeed related to the guidance of public opinion last time. Xia Xiang sighed that Gu Xiangguo is really deep in the tree, and he has reached the current level. He is not falling yet, and he is proud!

Gu Xiangguo did not fall, but he vowed not to give up. Xia Xiangguo is now passionate, doing what he does not do. He does not believe that Gu Xiangguo has committed many crimes and evidence is conclusive, and he can still stand firm. If Gu Xiangguo is in power, what hope does Langshi have? Oh, Chen will die without being stiff, and he may make a comeback.

Then what he did before was wasted?

Gu Xiangguo not only returned to work in the municipal party committee, but also proposed many reform measures drastically and put forward new ideas for the economic structure of Lang City. In short, he talked loudly and looked up to the mayor, and showed off his courage to coordinate the overall situation. It seemed to reveal a long-term message to everyone. Not only would he not fall, he would also take over as the secretary of the municipal party committee in Lang City, firmly controlling Lang City.

...

At the proposal of Gu Xiangguo, the Municipal Party Committee held a Standing Committee meeting to focus on the three aspects of Lang City's opening up, reform and promotion of people's livelihood-oriented development strategy in recent years, as well as the next work priorities. At the same time, the Standing Committee submitted the state-owned enterprise reform and financial system reform that the municipal government will be on the agenda for research.

Gu Xiangguo's intention was very obvious, just to show all the Standing Committee members that he was still the second-ranked figure in Lang City and was firmly in control of the situation. No one would think of ignoring his authority. No one dared to deal with him!

It is not arrogant, it is better than arrogant. It is not declaration of war, it is better than declaration of war.

The momentum of Gu Xiangguo played a significant role. The camp that originally belonged to him firmly united with him, echoing each other in the Standing Committee, forming a powerful force that cannot be ignored. At least on the surface, Gu Xiangguo has regained the power he deserves.

What shocked everyone even more was that three days later, a definite news came from the provincial party committee. After research and decision by the provincial party committee, Comrade Xia Xiang was expected to be appointed as deputy secretary of the Tianze Municipal Party Committee, deputy mayor and acting mayor!

It is not a rumor, it is a fait accompli, and the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee has officially approved the appointment!

Lang City was in an uproar!

Awesome, indeed, at the most critical moment, Xia Xiang still did not overthrow the Gu Xiang Kingdom, but was successfully moved away by the Gu Xiang Kingdom, which means that it ended with Xia Xiang's failure. Although Xia Xiang took a step forward and successfully promoted it to become the youngest city in Yan Province, once he left Lang City, everything he did in Lang City would be wasted.

Everyone knows that Xia Xiang has been secretly promoting the cold-quality solution. Once Xia Xiang leaves, who else in Langshi will come forward to oppose Gu Xiangguo? The current situation is, although Chen has hurt the roots, he has not entered the judicial process yet and is not dead. Although Gu Xiangguo has been negatively affected by the cold-quality solution, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will not issue any more people behind the push, and I am afraid that things will be left alone.

Gu Xiangguo won a great victory, Xia Xiang failed... Everyone came to the same conclusion at the same time, and even Ai Chengwen shook his head and sighed, feeling very sad that he failed to defeat Gu Xiangguo in the last step.

From the appointment of the provincial party committee to Xia Xiang's departure, there was a buffer period of more than 20 days. Just when everyone thought Xia Xiang would definitely give up his efforts and hand over his work and prepare to take up his new job, no one expected that a huge political storm was brewing.

More than 20 days passed in a flash, and it was time for Xia Xiang to leave Lang City. A group of members of the Lang City Municipal Party Committee, led by Ai Chengwen, lined up to bid farewell to Xia Xiang.

Everyone else has different thoughts, some are lonely, some are sad, some are gloating, some are gloating, and some are even more proud of it. Gu Xiangguo looked even more proud. Although he tried his best to pretend, he still couldn't hide his smug look. It means, what can you do to me? Give you a mayor position in a poor city and kick you away. No matter how capable you have, you have to leave Lang City now?

Xia Xiang looked relaxed and had no frustration at all. Instead, he shook hands with everyone happily. After all the handshakes were finished, he suddenly made another unexpected move - to come to Gu Xiangguo Xiang, and smiled and said, "Mayor Gu, a provincial party committee car was driving just now. Are you looking for you?"

Gu Xiangguo didn't understand why Xia Xiang said something stupid. Before he could speak, he saw two people separate from the crowd and said politely: "Mayor Gu, please come here."

Gu Xiangguo hesitated for a moment. As soon as Xiang Guo took two steps forward, he was carried by the two of them and stuffed them into the car like escorting a criminal!
Chapter completed!
