"What do you mean today, why are you all firing at our old Ye family?" After the second old man dismissed the meeting, he went directly to Old Man Ye's office.

Anyway, it's brothers, this is a clear thing, especially after the fierce conflict at the meeting, the signs of brothers joining forces should be more able to warn some people, and it is impossible for the old Ye family to be broken by each one.

Old Man Ye pointed to the sofa, motioned for the second old man to sit down, calm down for a while, and then slowly paced behind the desk.

The life secretary served tea and quickly withdrew.

"Today's incident, most of it is because of Ziping." Old Man Ye said, "The last time Ziping was pushed into the game, the combined forces of all parties converged in one place, and it was a matter of course, and it was relatively smooth. But now that some people have come back to the aftertaste, they feel uncomfortable in their hearts, and they always have to find something wrong. ”

The second old man nodded and said, "I think that's the case, but how can Premier Yun help?" ”

Prime Minister Yun's relationship with the old Ye family is closer, and it is a little strange that he suddenly gave Xu Yongnian a help.

"This problem, it is estimated that the root is in the old Hou family." Old Man Ye stroked his hair back with his hand, and said calmly, "Lao Yun has a good relationship with Hou Kang's ex-father-in-law, and it is estimated that he was entrusted by someone to find fault." ”

Premier Yun and Hou Laosan's ex-father-in-law are old friends, and they have received his favor before, and now the old Ye family supports Hou Laosan to become the secretary of the municipal party committee of Haidong City, and suddenly jumped a notch, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the former father-in-law, it is estimated that the old man chattered in front of Premier Yun for a while, and Premier Yun felt that he couldn't hang on his face, so he used the topic to play, which can be regarded as venting for the old man.

"The old man is also a little stubborn, the children's affairs, I have to make a lot of trouble......" The second old man was a little disapproving, thinking that the old man had done a little too much.

Old Man Ye shook his head and said, "Housework is the most difficult to break, and it's not interesting to talk about this." But how much do you know about the coup d'état in the Soviet Union? The other party really can't hold on for even three days? ”

"A group of rabble, they have been looking down on them for three days, if this is in China, they can't hold on to it for a day with their kind of practice." The second old man replied with a contemptuous face.

"How?" Although Old Man Ye is also from the military, since he was busy with government affairs, he has looked down on the military a lot, and he doesn't have so much energy to pay attention to.

"The vice president of the Soviet Union or something, there is no rule at all, for Gorbachev only restricted access, did not take any more drastic measures, even Gorbachev's people can still contact the outside world, and the current situation in Moscow is also very chaotic, although the army is stationed, but the implementation is not effective, the control of the department has not been controlled, and now Russian President Yeltsin has begun to organize a counterattack." The second old man pouted and said, "Actually, your precious grandson has already told me before that this will be a failed coup d'état, which did not achieve any goals, but contributed to the rapid demise of the Soviet Union." ”

Old Man Ye nodded and sighed.

Obviously, after this change, Gorbachev's personal prestige will also fall to the lowest point, the entire alliance will fall apart, and Russian President Boris Yeltsin will have opened his sharp minions and is ready to accept most of the political resources of the Soviet Union.

"In less than three days, the coup will be declared a failure, but the situation will expand further, and from the moment of the coup, the Soviet Union will de facto cease to exist." The second old man said, "This is also what your precious grandson said." ”

Old Man Ye just wanted to laugh when he heard it, "What else did my precious grandson say?" ”

"Haha, your baby grandson took a plane around Pearl City, and his face turned out to be very ugly." The second old man also said with a smile, "He said that he didn't expect that after so many years, the pattern of Pearl City has not yet come out of the influence of the thirties, and it seems that it is not optimistic." Later, he said that he asked his father to work in Mingzhu, which seemed to be a little inconsiderate. ”

"This kid...... Hey......" Old Man Ye listened and smiled, but his expression became a little solemn.

Speaking of which, Ye Kai's worries are not unreasonable.

Pearl City has indeed had glory, but in the tide of reform and opening up, the pace of Pearl City seems to be a little slow, perhaps because of the excessive financial and tax burden on the shoulders of Pearl City, so that it has to move forward with difficulty, perhaps it is the ideological struggle, so that the Pearl people can not let go of their hands and feet, to some cities in the south, move forward bravely, but in any case, this is a very rich city.

If it is given a good chance, Old Man Ye believes that Pearl City will definitely rise again in a very short period of time.

In fact, recently, the high-level has been discussing the issue of key support for Pearl City.

"For the development of Pearl City, it will not change because of who is in office, this is a national event, not a child's house, so Xiaokai's worries are superfluous." Old Man Ye groaned.

He knew what Ye Kai was worried about, it was nothing more than that after Ye Ziping took charge of Mingzhu, the support policies of the high-level side would not be able to be introduced for a long time, so if he came, Ye Ziping's position in Mingzhu City would be a little embarrassing, even if you are a member of the Central Political Bureau, a deputy state-level leader, you have no money and no special policies, and you can't clean up such a big mess in Mingzhu City, right?

However, it is impossible for the top level to make an irresponsible decision on this issue, and the development of Mingzhu City is a must, and this matter is not only concerned by the high-level officials, in fact, Comrade Fang He and Comrade Chu Feng are paying close attention to the development of Mingzhu City, while Comrade Jiang Cheng is a leading cadre who came out of Mingzhu City, and naturally he also has a special affection for Mingzhu City.

"There is one thing you don't know, Comrade Jiang Cheng has transferred Tan Shengjie, deputy secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, to the post of deputy director of the Central Committee's Office." Old Man Ye suddenly said again.

"This person, I'm not very familiar, it seems that he should be Comrade Jiang Cheng's intimate person." The second old man pondered.

Today's director of the Central Office is Comrade Weng Qingyuan, but he is not Comrade Jiang Cheng's online person, and this time Tan Shengjie entered Beijing to serve as deputy director of the Central Office, obviously to pave the way for him to take over the post of director of the Central Office in the future.

As the director of the Office of the CPC Central Committee, he has a lot of contact with confidential affairs, and although he is only a ministerial-level position, because his position is very critical, he must be a person who can be trusted by the No. 1 chief.

"Comrade Jiang Cheng felt that he lacked strong support in the center, so he deliberately transferred Comrade Tan Shengjie to Beijing, probably to serve as a military advisor for him." Old Man Ye said, "This person is actually a child of the capital, and he can be classified into the old princelings, and his influence among the major families in the capital is also relatively large." ”

"The fall of Feng Yuntong has created a good opportunity for Comrade Jiang Cheng, do you think it is possible for Tan Shengjie to take over the work in the capital?" The second old man suddenly thought of this question.

"It's unlikely, his qualifications are too shallow." Old Man Ye denied.

If you want to be the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, you must be a member of the Central Political Bureau, otherwise you will not be able to suppress the forces in all aspects, and Tan Shengjie was only at the deputy ministerial level before, and it is obviously very difficult to be promoted to the deputy national level all of a sudden, and now Comrade Jiang Cheng has made him the deputy director of the Central Committee's Office, which can be regarded as a ministerial-level treatment, but if you want to move forward, it is impossible for everyone not to say something against it.

Tan Shengjie is not Ye Ziping, he can have the promotion of such a powerful behind-the-scenes force of the old Ye family, and there is no support from Comrade Fang He and Comrade Chu Feng, of course it is impossible to enter the game, in fact, according to Old Man Ye's estimate, the possibility that he will be able to enter the game after five years is not very large, after all, Old Man Tan has been dead for many years, and people are cold.

After Old Man Ye and Second Old Man conspired for a while, they still made some decisions.

The next day, after discussion by the Secretariat, it was believed that under the current situation, there must be a member of the Central Political Bureau in Mingzhu City, so Ye Ziping, a member of the Central Political Bureau, was specially entrusted to go to Mingzhu City to preside over the work and take up the post of secretary of the municipal party committee, while Comrade Hong Zheng entered the State Council and served as vice premier to assist Premier Yun in the daily work of the State Council.

On August 21, Ye Ziping's special plane landed at Mingzhu City Airport.

The main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, under the leadership of Comrade Hong Zheng, who rushed back in advance, went to the airport to greet them, and then carried out a brief handover activity, and Mingzhu City officially entered the Ye Ziping era.

That night, Ye Kai set up a banquet for his father's arrival.

Ye Kai gave a detailed introduction to the basic situation of Mingzhu City, and made some ideas for the future development direction and urban construction of Mingzhu City, and also provided some basic information for the political situation of Mingzhu City and the leading cadres in all aspects.

Ye Ziping listened to Ye Kai's report very carefully, and felt a little relieved in his heart, after all, he was a brother who fought tigers, a father and son soldier, and his son was reliable at a critical time, and he began to find out for himself when he came to Pearl City one step earlier.

While the father and son were eating, they received a message from the Soviet Union.

"Hehe, as expected, Gorbachev returned to Moscow, the army defected, and the Emergency Committee collapsed." Ye Kai said to Ye Ziping, "This is really a farcical coup!" ”

Almost at the same time, the bigwigs of the Chinese political situation also received reports on the latest situation in the Soviet Union, and when they learned that Gorbachev had returned to the presidential stage, everyone knew that the matter was over, and it was not yet known where the Soviet Union would go after that, but now it seems that at least the border crisis is gone, and the judgment of the Military Commission is correct.

"Fuck, these bales of straw, I've lost face for nothing." After Xu Yongnian, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, got the news, he scolded a little stupidly.

It's just that although the coup d'état in the Soviet Union has been solved, the situation in the future has become more and more complicated, and no one knows where the old empire will go. Except for one person.
