The Spring Festival of 1991 was extraordinary.

Since the beginning of the new year, the air has been filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Of course, this smell of gunpowder is not only from the firecrackers set off by the people, but also from the-for-tat confrontation in newspapers and magazines.

Originally, it was just the media in Beijing and Mingzhu City who were arguing, but now some of the media in Beijing suddenly changed their tune and began to join the ranks of the debate.

This subtle change is naturally seen in everyone's eyes and remembered in their hearts, knowing that this thing has become more and more fun.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a meeting between the Lao Ye family and the Lao Chu family, although there was no news, but between the big families with hands and eyes, they still heard a little, and as for the details, the insiders were secretive and refused to talk about it.

However, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the Propaganda Department held a Lantern Festival tea party for its internal staff, Minister He Yun expressed informal opinions on some problems existing in the current propaganda system.

"There are some very bad tendencies in the system at the moment, and the phenomenon of bourgeois liberalization is very serious." Minister He Yun said with a serious face, "As the mouthpiece of the party, the propaganda system must always maintain the unity of public opinion, so as to maintain the party's image, but some comrades, regardless of the overall situation, only talk about reform, and do not talk about opposing bourgeois liberalization, how can they maintain stability?" ”

Minister He Yun's words are obviously targeted, others don't know, who in the system doesn't know, the newspaper "Today's Observation Hot Spots", which published articles in response to the series of articles in the Mingzhu City Party Newspaper a few days ago, as well as several other newspapers and periodicals, are all media under the banner of Vice Minister Ye Ziping of the Propaganda Department, and they are also propaganda tools directly controlled by the Lao Ye family.

Today, Minister He Yun suddenly mentioned this matter, obviously to settle this account with Ye Ziping.

After Minister He Yun talked, Executive Deputy Minister Lin Zhixin also expressed his views on this matter, stressing the importance of organizational discipline, resolutely opposing the necessity of bourgeois liberalization, and holding that it is necessary to conduct self-examination and self-correction in the ministry to correct certain bad signs that exist.

Several other deputies did not express their positions, and even if they spoke, they said that they had always been strict with themselves and so on, which made Minister He Yun and Executive Deputy Minister Lin Zhixin feel a little disappointed and worried.

Although the statements of the minister and the executive deputy minister have basically made their positions clear, if the other deputy positions do not actively respond to this, or even if they go against the law, the problem is still very big.

Minister He Yun's gaze turned around, and finally stopped at Ye Ziping's body.

For the second-generation figure of the old Ye family, Minister He Yun has no temper, after all, Ye Ziping is also a deputy minister who enjoys ministerial-level treatment, although it is said that the Propaganda Department is now overwhelmed, with a total of more than a dozen deputy ministers, but Ye Ziping's age advantage and the political resources behind it cannot be ignored.

If other vice ministers jumped out and sang the opposite tune, Minister He Yun didn't need to think about it at all, and directly joined Executive Deputy Minister Lin Zhixin to clean him up, but it was difficult to say when he met Ye Ziping.

You can put Ye Ziping in the air and not give him real power, no one can do anything about this, but if you really dare to pull down the second-generation core force of the old Ye family, then the matter will be serious, the few gods of the old Ye family are not so easy to deal with, today Ye Ziping will step down, tomorrow you He Yun will wait to pack up your things and leave!

Judging from today's situation, the deputy ministers are unwilling to express their stance easily, obviously seeing the attitude of the old Ye family on this matter, it seems that it is changing.

"Comrade Ziping, you can also talk about it." Lin Zhixin saw Minister He Yun's gaze wandering over Ye Ziping, and immediately acted as a pioneer and shifted his focus to Ye Ziping.

Ye Ziping is holding a stainless steel thermos cup in his hand, is rubbing at will, after he arrived at the Propaganda Department, there are not many opportunities to speak, especially in the past two years, the political situation has changed, and the direction of public opinion is often shaken.

Therefore, everyone has long been accustomed to Vice Minister Ye's low profile, but today, it seems that this situation is about to be broken.

I remember that there have been several times when public opinion within the party has been in full bloom, and without exception, those stages are the fastest and best period for our party's development, and every time public opinion is the same, it is a period when the political direction of the party and the purpose of our party have seriously deviated. Therefore, I believe that as long as there is no mistake in the major principles of public opinion, even if the quarrel is severe, it can be tolerated to a limited extent. Ye Ziping considered the words and said word by word.

After Ye Ziping expressed his attitude positively, the eyes of several depressed deputy ministers suddenly lit up, this is the official statement of the old Ye family! Ye Ziping doesn't speak, once he speaks, it shows that the old Ye family's position on this issue is on the side of Comrade Fang He!

"Comrade Ziping is very reasonable." A deputy minister immediately became energetic and said eloquently, "Is there democratic centralism in the party, and if there is no democracy, where can there be centralization?" If you engage in a word, it will become a dictatorship, and the lessons of the ten years of catastrophe are not tragic enough! ”

Immediately, several deputy ministers spoke in unison, and the situation turned a little one-sided.

Minister He Yun and Executive Deputy Minister Lin Zhixin saw it, and immediately felt that the situation was a little out of control, in fact, this situation was also caused by themselves, for more than a year, the two used tough means to unify the voice of the Propaganda Department, but everyone had no way to fight on the surface, and they were always extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, and what was missing was just a catharsis.

Today's Ye Ziping's words show that the opinions at the top have been divided, and the old Ye family, which has the heaviest weight, has begun to support Fang and comrades, then the situation should basically be clear, and if everyone does not take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, it will be too difficult to seize the opportunity.

"Adjournment!" Minister He Yun was a little angry when he saw that the situation was out of control, but he didn't expect these deputy ministers to jump out one by one at a critical moment and turn to support Ye Ziping.

For now, the only way to stop this topic is to think about how to deal with it.

It seems that he still overestimates his ability to control the Propaganda Department.
