Chapter 873 The wind moves, testing the wind

If it was just a conversation between him and Lao Gu, it would be better to say something, but now Lao Gu represents a power group, and the atmosphere is a bit dignified.

Lao Gu didn't have the usual casualness, but sat upright on the sofa, with a serious face, just waiting for Xia to think of a clear answer.

Xia Xiang was a little dilemma.

If he speaks out about his political stance, it will inevitably make Lao Gu dissatisfied and the people behind the scenes unhappy. But if you don't say it, you are suspected of lying. It's not that Xia Xiang doesn't know how to lie, but he doesn't want to tell lies to Lao Gu.

He has always respected Lao Gu very much, because from beginning to end, Lao Gu has always helped him in secret, and he has never given Lao Gu anything in return, and even won Gu Yu.

Lao Gu saw that he was cold, and he didn't speak, but reached out to pour tea and drink it by himself. He first filled his teacup, then put down the teapot, took a sip of tea, as if he had just remembered, and reached out to refill the water for Xia Xiang.

Lao Gu's actions have a deep meaning, reminding Xia Xiang not to forget to pour tea when drinking water.

"The central government is now roughly divided into three factions...... Xia Xiang's answer was beyond Lao Gu's expectations, and he did not directly state his position, but generalized it and talked about the overall situation, "One is the family power, the other is the civilian force, and the other is the regiment system. The three systems are not completely isolated, but have mutual influence and mutual reference, and in addition to certain differences, there are many commonalities. ”

Although Xia Xiang has not yet made it clear which line his political position is closer to, in fact, deep down, he still identifies himself as a commoner. Although he had the opportunity to get in touch with the clan and integrate into the clan power, now he was closest to the civilian clan.

However, the relationship between the factions is not completely antagonistic, and the common ground is still far greater than the differences, just as Zheng Sheng of the original group did not shy away from getting close to Mei Xiaolin, the representative of the family forces, which proved that in fact, between the factions, there are not only competition and differences, but also cooperation and mutual assistance, and on the whole it is still a state of seeking common ground while reserving differences.

Of course, each faction is in perfect competition in the concept of longing for its own faction to grow, after all, there are not many elites in the officialdom, and occasionally one or two people emerge, there will definitely be factions targeting. When the Mei family and the Qiu family were a little estranged from him, the Wu family took the opportunity to go up, which proved that the Wu family had never given up their efforts to win him over.

But in the final analysis, Lang City is too close to the capital, and it is also because he came to Lang City because of the layout of the civilian forces, and the people behind the scenes do not allow his efforts to make wedding clothes for the Wu family, not to mention that now he has initially opened up the situation in Lang City, and it is time to reap the fruits of victory.

Therefore, there was an important meeting in which Lao Gu took a clear position.

Lao Gu's analysis of Xia Xiang was only a slight nod, not speaking, and still drinking his own tea.

Xia Xiang felt the coercion from Lao Gu's silence. Lao Gu is above the army and is in a high position, although he usually talks to him very casually, but when he wants to show his majesty, he can also give people an inexplicable pressure.

Xia Xiang picked up the tea and took a sip gently: "My position is more inclined to the civilian line, but it is not completely exclusive to the group and family forces, in my opinion, no matter which lineage, as long as you are dedicated to the people and adhere to a fairly fair position, there is merit." ”

Xia Xiang's answer obviously did not satisfy Lao Gu, Lao Gu put the teacup heavily on the coffee table, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't be blinded by a little favor from the Wu family, Old Man Wu is old and sophisticated, and his methods are unguardable, don't be fooled by him." The family power is on the opposite side of the people, how can it be for the people? ”

Lao Gu's words are not unreasonable, Xia Xiang used to think the same way, thinking that the interests of the family power and the people are incompatible, and there is absolutely no possibility of coexistence, but after a period of precipitation, as well as theoretical research, he has somewhat changed his position, thinking that the growth of family power is not useless.

Even the United States, which claims to be the most democratic, is actually the country with the most prosperous family power, and several major family groups intervene in politics in disguise, sponsoring their people to run for the Senate and the House of Representatives, and even directly run for president.

Not only the president, but also the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives have large or small family forces behind them. And after they took office, they always spared no effort to raise the flag for the family forces and strive for greater economic interests for them.

But I didn't see how much the interests of the people were harmed, and the United States was still strong.

It is true that everything cannot be generalized, and it does not mean that the system applied in the United States is a panacea that can cure all diseases. But Xia Xiang thought that since the family power has been formed in China, it proves that there is a certain political soil, and it is impossible to directly eradicate it, and suppressing and squeezing out is not the best policy, only cooperation and seeking common ground while reserving differences is the real way of development.

Although so far, limited by his status and level, he has not yet fully formed in his mind how to better handle the harm caused to the national economy by the monopoly of the family forces, he believes that he can certainly find a way of cooperation, so that the family forces can not only make due contributions to the national economy under the state of normal development, but also not get out of control and become the object of boiling public resentment.

Xia Xiang didn't want to hide his true thoughts from Lao Gu, he had always respected Lao Gu, and he also thought it was necessary to communicate with Lao Gu in a friendly manner, so he said what he thought and thought 1510.

"Family power has a conservative and monopolistic side, as well as an enterprising and open side, and family power cannot be completely denied. There are both historical and objective reasons for the formation of family power, and the rise of family power should be viewed with a tolerant and guiding mentality. In my opinion, suppression and exclusion are not the first choice, and how to better guide family forces to make contributions to the development of the national economy within their capacity is the way to take advantage of the situation above politics. Just like Dayu controls the water, it is better to be sparse than to block the ......" Xia Xiang gushed about the political concept for half an hour, during which Lao Gu listened quietly without saying a word, and his face did not show any emotional fluctuations.

It wasn't until Xia Xiang finished speaking that the room was silent, so quiet that you could hear the two of them breathing. There was also the sound of the wind in the courtyard, blowing the leaves and making a noise, but the two people sitting opposite each other did not say a word.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that he would be restless in the unspeakable silence, but Xia Xiang thought about it, and after he finished what he thought in his heart, he was relaxed. Some things will be faced sooner or later, rather than letting Lao Gu complain in the future, it is better to throw out his still too mature political ideas now, whether it is successful or not, he has already seen it, although he does want to use the momentum of Lao Gu when he comes to the capital, but even if Lao Gu's road is blocked, he has other ways to go.

What he pursues is a political and ideological fit, not simply taking sides. And Xia Xiang thought proudly that if he wanted to stand in line with the family forces and the regimental system, he would be welcomed.

The key is that political ideas determine everything, and if there is discord between ideas, standing together is also discord between face and heart, but there will be greater hidden dangers.

I don't know how long it took, but Lao Gu finally stood up, got up and walked outside. Xia Xiang silently followed behind Lao Gu and came to the courtyard.

I remember that the last time I came was winter, and now it's midsummer, and the courtyard is verdant, which is particularly gratifying. Needless to say, above the rockery, the water is murmuring, and under the rockery, countless goldfish swim around uncomfortably and tiredly, just like all living beings, but the fish swim in the water, and people are happy in suffering.

Lao Gu threw a handful of fish food down, and finally spoke: "When people feed the fish, they always think, how stupid the fish is, and a little fish food will break the head, in fact, think about it, people are the same." ”

He clapped his hands and smiled: "I found that although I have known you for a long time, I have never been able to see through you." Some people say that you won't happily agree to stand in line, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be. Not to mention, your idea is quite new and has merit...... Young man, I was moved by what you said. ”

Lao Gu patted Xia Xiang's shoulder and laughed: "I didn't mean to scare you, but deliberately tested your patience. Luckily, it didn't disappoint me. ”

Xia wants to sweat profusely, Lao Gu is so familiar with him, and he has to test him. To be honest, he was also a little panicked just now. Sometimes people in officialdom, issues of principle have to be talked about, compromise must also be talked about, only stretching and unyielding is a worm, and being able to stretch and bend is a dragon.

Lao Gu's first level passed, which is equivalent to the level of the people behind the scenes, and Xia Xiang fell to the ground with a boulder in his heart. Of course, what Xia Xiang didn't know was that his immature political ideas, after being adopted by the central leadership, had a far-reaching impact on the domestic political situation, which made him experience several thrilling ups and downs on the road to politics in the future.

After staying at Lao Gu's house until the evening and having dinner, Xia Xiang continued to talk to Lao Gu and said that he was going to take the next big move in Lang City.

For a long time, Xia Xiang did everything in Yan City or Lang City to light a fire first, and in the end, when he couldn't put out the fire, he would ask for help from top to bottom. This time, on the contrary, before the fire in Lang City was lit, he came to ask Lao Gu's opinion in advance, and put on a posture of hoping to get Lao Gu's help, obviously, he was cautious about this move.

Before Lao Gu made a move on Xia Xiang, he was the first to ask him for advice, and he was very happy, and gave Xia Xiang a lot of suggestions, of course, the central idea is to support Xia Xiang to show his skills and move away all the stumbling blocks on the way forward, as long as the development of the situation is beyond the scope of Lang City, when he arrives in the capital, he will secretly come forward.

Lao Gu was born in the military, and the style of the soldier is to be resolute and resolute, and he is not merciful to the enemy. I believe that Lao Gu can come to this day, and he has also passed all the way and cut down many political enemies, so that he has his current status.

With Lao Gu's personal guarantee, Xia Xiang was also very pleased.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Yu arrived. Gu Yu heard that Xia Xiang had come to the capital in the afternoon, so he hurriedly drove from Yan City. As soon as she saw Xia Xiang, she was like a little girl, regardless of Lao Gu's presence, she pestered Xia Xiang and asked Xia Xiang to tell her about the progress of tourism and agriculture in Lang City.

Since the last time he witnessed the prototype of sightseeing agriculture in Lang City, Gu Yu has never forgotten the idyllic scenery, and has always dreamed of building a paradise-like villa in a green field, and living happily with Xia Xiang.

Gu Yu did not plagiarize Lian Ruohan's creativity, and she naturally thought of a beautiful scene. Unlike Lian's creativity, her dream villa is a log cabin, not the three-story building that Lian Ruohan wants to build.

Lao Gu turned a blind eye to Gu Yu and Xia Xiang's affection, and left under the pretext of having something. Xia Xiang accompanied Gu Yu to take a walk in the old Gu courtyard first, and then walked outside, walking freely in the entire military compound.

The cool breeze of the summer night is comfortable and pleasant, and the ancient jade around him is fresh and pleasant, Xia Xiang rarely relaxes his mood, and his mood is clear. The beautiful scenery of a good day is rare, and when you can be comfortable, you must hold on to the happiness in front of you.

Because, happy times are often fleeting.

Sure enough, just as Gu Yu was whispering to him and telling him what was not on his mind, the mobile phone rang at an inopportune time. I wanted not to take it, but I couldn't do it, although he was on vacation now, it was just a cover.

It was Li Caiyuan's call.

Li Caiyuan also knew that Xia Xiang might be in a state where it was not suitable to disturb now, so he only said one sentence very interestingly: "Leader, Mayor Gu has left for the capital." ”

Gu Xiangguo is also here? It's good to come

Xia Xiang had long expected Gu Xiangguo to move, but he didn't expect his movements to be so fast, which also proved one point, the wind he released stepped on Gu Xiangguo's tail, and Gu Xiangguo couldn't help but jump out immediately.

The situation in Lang City is really precipitous, and Yan City, Xia Ma District is completely different, in the previous two places, you can first ignite the fire and then fire the cannon, but in Lang City it is not at all, you must nod from above, otherwise, it is possible to kick the iron plate, hurt the toes or trivial things, maybe it will hurt the muscles and bones

Xia thought about it for a while, so he made two phone calls, one to Li Fei and one to Zhang Ying.

Yes, this time, Xia Xiang persuaded Zhang Yingzhi to be his strongest supporter in the municipal party committee. Zhang Yingji is calm on the surface, but in fact he is also jealous and hateful, and when he learned that Xia Xiang intended to thoroughly investigate the unjust, false and wrongful cases left by Leng Zhifang, he immediately expressed his support to the end.

The situation in Lang City is still under control, and I don't know how many variables will increase in the night of the capital because of the arrival of Gu Xiangguo?

At night, Xia wants to live in the old mansion. The house is very large, there are many rooms, and he and Gu Yu's rooms are dozens of meters away. In the middle of the night, Gu Yu tiptoed into his bed, which really startled him, and he was about to warn Gu Yu not to let Lao Gu catch him, but before he could speak, his mouth was blocked by Gu Yu's fragrant lips.

Xia Xiang's room is only one room away from Lao Gu's room, and the slightest movement may be heard by Lao Gu, the two of them stripped off their clothes in a stumbling manner, trying not to make a sound, but under the leakage point, it is inevitable that there will be a reverie sound coming out, and Xia Xiang is a little exciting and a little impulsive. Men have an adventurous nature, and no one doesn't like the temptation of **.

At this time, the moonlight is good, shining into the room through the window, the ancient jade is naked all over, not an inch, illuminated by the moonlight, beautiful, like a fairy statue carved from white marble. The so-called four realms of beauty, the first is to see the beauty after the bath, the second is to see the beauty under the lamp, the third is to see the beauty under the flower, and the fourth is to see the beauty under the moon. There was no light in the room, but the light outside was dim. Then there are flower shadows, the moonlight is misty, Gu Yu is currently standing, and the whole body is almost shrouded in a halo, its beauty is thrilling and indescribable.

The first night of Xia Xiang and Gu Yu was panicked and absurd, with more pleasure and less beauty. But tonight is completely different, full of beauty, and there is ** stimulation and charm, and then there is the display of Gu Yu's perfect body, Xia Xiang, for the first time, indulged in the fragrance of Gu Yu.

It was night, the shadows of the trees outside the window were shaking, and inside the room, the dark fragrance was floating. It's not a one-night fish and dragon dance, but there are twenty-four bridges and bright moon nights......

Before dawn, Gu Yu quietly left, as if in a dream. Fortunately, Gu Yu left early, and as soon as it was dawn, Lao Gu knocked on the door and came in, saying that he had something to go out and let Xia Xiang take care of himself.

Xia Xiang looked at the room that was not too messy, tried to keep his composure, and did not show an embarrassed look, but Lao Gu's eyes seemed to stay on the bed a few more times, and his nose sniffed a few times, as if he had found something, but he shook his head again, leaving Xia Xiang with a meaningful back and turned away.

Xia Xiang was embarrassed for a while.

In the morning, Xia Xiang met with Yi Xiangshi in the capital, and in the afternoon, he met Wu Caijiang, who happened to be in Beijing to report on his work.

I haven't seen Wu Caijiang for a long time, and what makes Xia Xiang feel most gratified is that although he and Wu Caijiang are far less in contact with Mei Shengping, this meeting made him realize a very interesting problem, that is, the intersection between people and others, often together, does not necessarily reach the level of heart-to-heart. But some people, you may not usually remember him, but when you meet, you have a special sense of intimacy.

This is the case with Wu Caijiang.

Xia Xiang and Wu Caijiang didn't have any sense of strangeness as soon as they met, and they got to the point.

Wu Caijiang served as the governor of Ning Province, and Ma Wanzheng has always been compatible, and the two are rare first and second leaders with fewer contradictions. Of course, there are differences in political concepts, but fortunately, both of them have a tolerant side and do not cause too much unpleasantness.

According to Wu Caijiang, it is possible that after his term of office expires, he will serve as governor of a large province for a term before he can become secretary of the provincial party committee. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xia Xiang also knew that the arrangement had the intention of avoiding suspicion, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, could it be that within three or five years, Wu Caiyang was expected to become one of the giants?

While he was guessing, Wu Caijiang said another sentence, which made Xia Xiang feel frightened
