Chapter 046 Final Confrontation

The Standing Committee Building of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee is a small building, compared with the office building next to it, the difference in appearance is thirty or forty years, one side is red bricks and black tiles, one side is imitation stone tiles, one side is not more than three floors, and the other side is nearly 20 floors.

However, if given a choice, there is not a single person in the compound of the provincial party committee who would like to stay in the office building instead of going to work in the standing committee building. Why? Because they all know that the Standing Committee Building is the core of Jiangdong's core, and they have to convey a word in the Standing Committee Building softly - they make phone calls, and the people below have to run softly.

Today's Provincial Party Committee compound is no different from the past, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee Building is solemn and quiet, this is not surprising, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee Building has always been a relatively calm place, but today is a little more obvious, even the snow huā, which is rare in the south, also seems to have some special purpose, at least, it adds three points of coldness to this solemnity.

In recent years, this small conference room has generally only been used for a meeting of secretaries, and there are only a few participants.

However, today, a meeting of the Standing Committee is indeed being held here, which Secretary Li Yuanzhuo personally presided over and attended by all members of the Standing Committee at home.

"This is the case, the Pengcheng 'August 13' fire case, the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, in the end, someone must come out to take the leadership responsibility, what do you think about it, let's talk about it." Secretary Li Yuanzhuo has also been very busy recently, and Xiao Chen always felt that when he said this, he felt a little tired.

Li Yawei, Minister of Propaganda of the Provincial Party Committee, first said: "Comrades, the August 13 fire not only had a bad impact on the image of Pengcheng, but also had a bad impact on the overall image of our Jiangdong, especially in the post-mortem investigation, such a big nest case was found, and even the main leaders of the current Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government were involved!" I think that this matter is not only a problem with Pengcheng's previous team, but also Pengcheng's current team has a lot of responsibility. Yu Ke has been or will be punished by party discipline and state law for the problems of the previous team, but the current team must also bear some responsibility for this, right? Otherwise, how can such a bad influence be reversed? My view is that as secretary of the Pengcheng City CPC Committee, Comrade Tang Xushan should bear the main leadership responsibility for this. ”

Xiao Chen suddenly found that there was one less executive vice governor of the Xiao family, and in this Standing Committee, it was convenient for people to speak in an era when it was inconvenient for him to speak, and the choice was much smaller. Yang Yaomin is the head of the organization, and it is good to stand up at the critical moment, and it is not a good time to stand up too early. Chen Wei and Zhao Jiemin, two members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, one is the secretary of the Wucheng City Party Committee and the other is the secretary of the Liangxi Municipal Party Committee. As for Lieutenant General Gu Laishan, the political commissar of the military region who has always supported him, he is a representative of the military, and it is obviously not easy to say much about local personnel.

Xiao Chen values Tang Xushan. Before the August 13 fire, Tang Xushan had the intention of getting closer to Xiao's family, but Xiao Chen did not accept it immediately, mainly because he didn't know what Tang Xushan was like at that time, after the August 13 fire, Xiao Chen found that Tang Xushan was very good, very principled, able to adhere to party discipline and state law, and insisted on handling problems in accordance with the principle of seeking truth from facts while facing huge pressure from the provincial party committee and provincial government, and did not evade his responsibility. This is a cadre who has the ordinary people in mind, is not only superior, and dares to be responsible, and this kind of cadre is exactly what Xiao Chen wants.

But Tang Xushan is not easy to protect. He was really in a position at the tip of the wind. Even though he has only been the secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee for a little more than a year, after all, what happened to him in office, and he must take responsibility for it. Huaxia is like this, the matter is yours, the problem is yours, you said that the previous team had a problem and failed to let you take office lightly, so why didn't you say it before? In fact, who could have said before!

The wind direction on the Standing Committee is obvious, except for him, Yang Yaomin and Chen Wei Bō did not speak, even Zhao Jiemin felt that Tang Xushan had to bear a certain amount of responsibility, at least to deal with the doubts of the outside world in front of him. Zhao Jiemin's attitude does not mean that he disagrees with Xiao Chen, nor does it mean that the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee has been affected by the doubts of the outside world, on the contrary, he is worried that the outside world will pay too much attention to this matter, so that some people with ulterior motives will use this attention to stir up the wind and rain and pull people as backs.

After everyone spoke, Xiao Chen finally made a slight movement, his hand grabbed the "Extreme King" on the table, and his index finger tapped lightly three times.

Yu Ke coughed lightly at this time and said: "As all the comrades said just now, although Comrade Tang Xushan was not obviously negligent in the Pengcheng August 13 fire case, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he should bear the leadership responsibility for this. Comrade Tang Xushan's own attitude on this point was also very clear, and he reported to the provincial party committee and the organization department three times in a row, demanding responsibility and resigning. I think this attitude is correct and sincere. However, comrades, it is not easy to train a qualified secretary of the municipal party committee organizationally. Judging from Comrade Tang Xushan's performance in this incident, I think he is still principled and capable, not to mention that he didn't just deal with an August 13 in Pengcheng! Did he do anything else? The evaluation given by the organization department is quite good. Therefore, even if Comrade Tang Xushan's work had to be adjusted, and even if Comrade Tang Xushan had to take leadership responsibility for the August 13 Fire and had to be dismissed, the Organization Department would not approve of putting such a cadre on the so-called cold bench. Another thing is that if Comrade Tang Xushan is dismissed, how will the candidates for the new secretary of the municipal party committee be arranged? ”

The head of the organization department has great power on the issue of personnel appointment and dismissal, and as soon as Yang Yaomin opened his mouth, everyone was silent, and even Zhou Zhengjiang did not answer immediately. Secretary Li Yuanzhuo thought for a while and said: "How to arrange Comrade Tang Xushan's post adjustment, this matter is not a big problem, we can postpone the discussion. As for how to fill the vacancy of the secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee, what does the Organization Department mean? ”

All eyes were immediately focused on Yang Yaomin's face, and Yang Yaomin said unhurriedly: "According to general practice, there are two candidates that can be proposed by the Organization Department, one is to make up for the mayor according to the routine, that is, Lin Sen; The second is to transfer from other places, this one, after analyzing the province's suitable cadre candidates, the organization department believes that Wang Wenyuan, the mayor of Wucheng City, is the most suitable. ”

"Wang Wenyuan?" Secretary Yuan Zhuo glanced at Xiao Chen: "Secretary Xiao's opinion? ”

Xiao Chen smiled slightly: "Lin Sen still doesn't think about it for the time being, the Pengcheng fire case, he, the mayor, is also responsible, but our provincial party committee, it's not good to take out the secretary and the mayor at one time, as for him to take over as secretary, I think we still have to be cautious." ”

The organization department mentioned that it was vetoed by the deputy secretary of the party and the masses, so the secretary does not need to say much unless he unswervingly believes that this person is good.

Secretary Yuan Zhuo nodded slightly: "Comrade Wang Wenyuan is qualified for the post of secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee in terms of his personal experience and contributions. ”

Yu Keke's arrest did not change the fate of Tang Xushan's dismissal. Tang Xushan still assumed the main leadership responsibility for the "August 13" fire, and left the leadership post of the secretary of the municipal party committee in gloomy. Last Friday, Minister Yang of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, had a formal conversation with Tang Xushan, asking Tang Xushan to have a positive understanding of this organizational handling measure and treat it correctly. Tang Xushan could only understand it positively and treat it correctly, and he once again sincerely reviewed it to the provincial party committee, and did not issue a sentence of imprisonment. However, to Tang Xushan's surprise, the direction of work finally changed, the provincial party committee did not let him be the nominal deputy secretary of the party committee of a cold yamen, and instead sent him to the provincial civil affairs department as the executive deputy director and deputy secretary of the party group, and the result was not bad. Talking about the change of direction, Minister Yang said earnestly that this is a suggestion put forward by Comrade Xiao Chen, and it is also the result of the final careful consideration by Secretary Yuan Zhuo and the Provincial Party Committee, and he hopes that he can do more practical work on the social security of vulnerable groups.

Last Friday, I survived the long 48 hours of Saturday and Sunday. On Monday morning, Minister Yang and Xiao Chen, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in charge of cadre work, brought Wang Wenyuan, newly appointed secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee of the provincial party committee, to hold a meeting of party and government cadres in the city. Immediately after the conference, the routine handover began. Tang Xushan didn't want anyone to feel that he was in a mood, or that he wanted to "run away in embarrassment", so he didn't leave Pengcheng in a hurry and commuted to work as usual; He was also very serious when he handed over, and he ignored the eyes of the cadres of the organs, and went to the canteen of the municipal party committee to eat normally as he did when he was in office in the past.

The secretary tactfully persuaded Tang Xushan not to eat in the canteen of the agency, saying that he could call back for him to eat. Tang Xushan didn't understand the secretary's hard work at first, but only after hearing some discussions did he realize that he was actually embarrassing himself: more than a year ago, he came to Pengcheng with ambition to take office, and the cadres in Pengcheng took over the wind for more than a month. Now that he was leaving, no one came to see him off, and he even ate in the cafeteria for the last two days of his departure. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that he, the secretary of the municipal party committee, has become an official indignation and has become a loner in Pengcheng!

Unexpectedly, on the last day of leaving, Chen Zhili personally found the canteen of the municipal party committee.

It was just noon, and there were many people in the canteen of the municipal party committee, and Tang Xushan had already prepared a meal and was ready to serve it to the small restaurant dedicated to himself and several deputy secretaries. Chen Zhili strode over, snatched the stainless steel dinner plate with the food in his hand, put it on the big dining table beside him, and said loudly: "Go, go, Comrade Xushan, let's not eat here, I personally treat you, the secretary of the municipal party committee with principles and positions!" ”

Chen Zhili's voice was so loud that it attracted many cadres from the surrounding dining organs to look at them.

Tang Xushan was a little uneasy, and dissuaded: "Hey, hey, old secretary, don't shout so loudly!" ”

Chen Zhili also seemed to realize something, didn't shout anymore, dragged Tang Xushan out of the door and got into his car, and said very emotionally after getting into the car: "Comrade Xushan, I have heard about some situations, if you want me to say, there is nothing wrong with the anger of the people, and it is terrible to be angry with the people!" Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people! You know? There are really a lot of units and comrades who want to see you off, including our people's congress, comrade Qinglan and their procuratorate, as well as comrades from Pengcheng Mining Group! ”

Tang Xushan was really moved, but he also knew it in his heart: "Old secretary, I'm afraid this was all arranged by you, right?" ”

Chen Zhili waved his hand and did not answer directly: "Comrade Xushan, I ignored this matter, I thought that Lin Sen and the municipal government would see you off first, and you would have to hand over to the new secretary Wang Wenyuan, so I didn't rush to make arrangements." Today, I happened to hear that you have been eating in the canteen for the past two days, and I felt that the taste was not right, so I came to invite you. ”

Tang Xushan smiled bitterly and said, "Old secretary, haven't you counted Lin Sen?" How can he take care of me now? People are busy, the back door is sending the old, the front door is welcoming the new, and they are waiting to shoot the new secretary's ass! After the party and government cadres meeting, they have been hiding from me. It wasn't until I got angry this morning that he came running and kept saying that he was reporting to me. I said it very politely: it's not a report, it's the secretary of the municipal party committee who is about to get out of the way and want to explain the will! Although I am out of here, the problem of unemployment relief in the bankrupt coal mines in the south still needs to be solved! ”

Chen Zhili shook his head: "At this time, what else are you talking about?" Lin Sen definitely won't listen to you anymore! ”

Tang Xushan's expression was gloomy: "Yes, I can see that he is dealing with me, and I know that he will not implement my instructions anymore, but I still have to say what I should say!" This is responsible for him, and also for 30,000 unemployed miners! He let out a long sigh, "I've seen through Lin Sen!" People will look at the leader's face, this time he made a bet again, knowing that Yu Kewei had a problem, he dared to bet on Yu Kewei, the artist is bold! ”

Chen Zhili sighed worriedly and said, "I'm worried that Lin Sen will be another Yu to do well!" ”

Tang Xushan nodded: "So, old secretary, I have an idea, and I will also ask for your opinion: I want to make a report to the provincial party committee on Lin Sen's political quality, and give Secretary Yuan Zhuo and Secretary Xiao Chen a reminder, do you think it's okay?" ”

Chen Zhili agreed: "I think it's okay! After a little hesitation, he also gave the bottom, "I won't tell you, Asahiyama, when I reported to Comrade Yuan Zhuo about your matter, I had already mentioned this matter first, and suggested that the provincial party committee take Lin Sen down from the position of mayor." Comrade Yuan Zhuo was a little surprised, but he still paid attention to it and asked Lin Sen a lot about it! ”

I didn't expect that! Tang Xushan immediately asked: "Is Comrade Yuan Zhuo and the provincial party committee clear?" ”

Chen Zhili continued: "Comrade Yuan Zhuo's attitude was relatively cautious, and he said two points: First, Lin Sen was indeed suspected of playing tricks in the handling of the 'August 13' fire case, but he had no economic interests or other special interests with Yu Keke, and only carried out Yu Keke's instructions, which is not a big mistake. Second, after all, Comrade Lin Sen is relatively young, and it has not been long since he was put in the post of mayor of Pengcheng, so he still feels that he needs to take another look and continue to observe for a while. ”

Tang Xushan couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, silently looking at the street scene outside the car window, and didn't want to answer anymore.

Chen Zhili comforted and said: "Xushan, don't be too frustrated, Comrade Yuan Zhuo and the provincial party committee are not confused, and I fully affirm you and the municipal party committee's practice of adhering to principles and handling the 'August 13' case according to law." In addition, Comrade Xiao Chen added that the facts of this catastrophic fire have proved that every screw of the Pengcheng machine has been loosened, and the trial of the court and our handling of the cadres of Pengcheng are not only necessary punishments, but also to tighten the screws of this machine! ”

When Tang Xushan heard this, his heart was shocked, and he said with emotion: "Comrade Xiao Chen's words are profound! If we follow the practice of Yu Kewei, protect cadres without principles, and shield criminals, Pengcheng's machine will continue to run with illness! ”

Chen Zhili finally persuaded: "So, Asahiyama, you really have to understand it positively!" In my opinion, Comrade Xiao Chen personally arranged for you to be assigned to the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs by name at the Standing Committee, and this arrangement is of great significance, because it is not only a necessary organization to deal with it, but also wants to use you! ”

Tang Xushan thought to himself, this is already the case, and he can only think like this, so he said gloomily: "I hope so!" ”

I thought that Chen Zhili was a treat, and he wanted to take the opportunity to have a good chat with him at the end, but unexpectedly, when he arrived at Chen Zhili's house, he found that the female prosecutor Yue Qinglan was already waiting there with a smile.

Tang Xushan tried to cheer up his spirits at this time, and joked with Yue Qinglan: "Yue Jian, why did you come here too?" Wouldn't it be lonely for our Vice Governor Yu to stay alone in the detention center? Still so leaderless, huh? ”

Yue Qinglan also joked: "Hey, Secretary Tang, you are wrong to criticize!" In my eyes, there are still leaders, and they are all concerned about the issue of Vice Governor Yu's prison clothes, and I even made a specific instruction a few days ago. Early this morning, our Vice Governor Yu happily put on his new prison clothes! I checked it myself, tǐng is good, the red stripes on the prison clothes are very fresh, the buttons are very neat, one grain is a lot, but it's a pity that our Vice Governor Yu just doesn't accept my affection! ”

Tang Xushan was in a much better mood, laughed out loud, and laughed out of tears: "Okay, good." Comrade Qinglan! Let this Vice Governor Yu wear a striped prison uniform, and it will be worth it for me to step down! After sitting down at the table, he pointed at Yue Qinglan and sighed to Chen Zhili again, "Old secretary, you tightened my screw with Yue Qinglan's wrench, it's not your old fitter and Yue Qinglan's good wrench, my screw may still be loose now!" ”

Chen Zhili laughed, and while pouring Wuliangye into the wine glass in front of Tang Xushan, he said half-truthfully: "Xushan, so you still have a self-critical spirit, ah?" Admit you've played some tricks on your head? ”

Tang Xushan said with a smile: "There is a process of understanding things, of course, the slippery head is also a little tricky, it should be said that it is the art of leadership and work strategy, we are in China is such a national and political situation, we have to face the reality!" ”

Chen Zhili said unhappily: "What kind of leadership art and work strategy? If our leading cadres at all levels are wise enough to protect themselves and engage in this kind of slippery, I think the party will not be the party and the country will not be the country! So I thought, sometimes we just have to be lonely ministers, for the interests of the country and the people, we can't be afraid of being isolated, we can't be afraid of dismissal, we must have the courage to put our black yarn hat and our lives together! Asahiyama, you have made this lonely minister, I will give you a drink! ”

Tang Xushan drank all the wine that Chen Zhili toasted, and said it again, saying very sincerely: "Old secretary, if you talk about lonely ministers, Comrade Qinglan is one, and I can't count it. I began to have a sī heart, on the night of 'August 13', looking at the sky-high flames of the Golden Sè era entertainment city, I thought of today's ending, and I also wanted to avoid this ending. However, on major issues of principle, I dare not play tricks! For example, qualitative arson, such as changing the procurator general, if you play a trick on this kind of thing, this situation will not be this today, and it will not be Zhou Xiuying and Su Quangui who will be on the execution ground, but Liu Tieshan! ”

Yue Qinglan raised her glass and stood up, and said impulsively: "Secretary Tang, just for this, I want to toast you too!" ”

Tang Xushan said emotionally: "Comrade Qinglan, I want to respect you, and I respect you as an excellent procurator general!" In the course of handling the 'August 13' case, you and the comrades of the Pengcheng City People's Procuratorate have proved to the world a spirit, a personality, and a force of law and morality with their courageous actions of being loyal to the people and the law! ”

Chen Zhili also stood up: "Okay, good, Comrade Asahiyama said it well. Qinglan, I also toast you! ”

Yue Qinglan raised her glass and stood there, a little uneasy, and said with a smile: "Old secretary, Secretary Tang, are you two leaders deliberately not letting me eat this meal?" Without the firm support of Secretary Xiao of the Provincial Party Committee and the two enlightened leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal People's Congress, how would I Yue Qinglan and the Pengcheng Procuratorate survive this big case? How can you do Yu Ke into it? I still respect you, in the leadership of your two party leaders, my comrades and I have seen the real hope of governing the country according to law! ”

Tang Xushan said with a smile: "Okay, then, let's toast together for the hope of governing the country according to law!" ”

After drinking this glass of wine, Chen Zhili ate the dishes and also started to review, and said to Tang Xushan: "Xushan, you have made self-criticism and admitted that you have loosened this screw. In fact, my screw was also loosened, and after the '813' fire burned, I was really scared into a cold sweat! At that time, it happened that Qinglan happened to be at my house, and I rushed to the scene of the fire in Comrade Qinglan's car, and when I saw the façade house that was covered on the street, I immediately thought of Zhou Xiuying, director of the Urban Management Committee, and then, naturally, I thought of Comrade Yu Ke, who had been in the team with me! ”

Yue Qinglan picked it up: "Oh, by the way, old secretary, I remember that you also said something to me at that time: As soon as this fire burns, some of our leading comrades will have a hard time!" At that time, I wanted to ask: Who are the leading comrades you are talking about? But when the words came to my mouth, I still didn't dare to ask. Now I want to ask you: Old secretary, did you have any personal prejudice when you said this? Is it really a matter of facts? This question has been bothering me for a long time. ”——

Two chapters in a row, and one more chapter.
