Chapter Thirty-Eight: Causing an Uproar
"Get this out there?" When the second old man heard this, he immediately hesitated.
It's not that the second old man doesn't have the guts, but he is thinking about what kind of consequences will be caused if this news is released?
Although Gu Huanzhi has been arrested now, the news is only known among high-level personnel within the military, the members of the Central Political Bureau and above, and the members of the Military Commission, but if the news leaks out, it will be known to everyone.
No one dares to guarantee that after this news is leaked, it will not trigger a greater wave of anti-corruption among the people, after all, what happened the year before last is still vivid and entangled in everyone's hearts, how can we not be deeply vigilant?
As a high-level leader of the party and the army, the second old man Ye Xiangkun naturally puts the overall situation first in his heart.
Although Gu Huanzhi must be disposed of, for the sake of the overall interests, it is not impossible to make some concessions, it just depends on what kind of compensation the other party will propose.
Of course, the premise of all this is that it must be guaranteed that there will be no social unrest and people's hearts will fluctuate.
Ye Kai analyzed for the second old man, "Liu Bingzheng, this old boy, has wolf ambitions, and for his own selfishness, he actually promoted sick cadres, and his heart is clearly revealed!" If he is allowed to sit down in this position in peace, it will be a serious irresponsibility to the party, the country, and the people's army! Since he showed his feet, no matter which angle we look at, we should not let him go! If this news is released, you can ask for punishment on your own, second grandfather! ”
"Ask for punishment?!" When the second old man heard this, his neck was thick, and he said in his heart, what are you doing with me?
But after thinking about it carefully, the second old man understood Ye Kai's "sinister intentions", this is to force the palace!
The deputy director of the General Logistics Department, the lieutenant general of the military, has such a big problem, and the second old man, Ye Xiangkun, who is the actual person in charge of the Military Commission, wants to take responsibility for himself, which is naturally reasonable, but the second old man has asked for punishment, as General Liu Bingzheng, who has always taken care of and advocated the promotion of Gu Huanzhi, can he say that he has no responsibility at all?
His responsibilities will only be much greater than those of the second old man.
Ye Kai's move was to force Liu Bingzheng to be difficult.
If the leadership is held responsible, Liu Bingzheng will definitely not be able to escape, but the severity of this responsibility is debatable, but as long as the second old man is willing to adopt Ye Kai's idea, even if Liu Bingzheng can stay in his original position, his prestige will be greatly weakened, and his voice in the military will be gradually weakened.
The second old man pondered for a while, and he also had a plan in his heart, he still agreed with Ye Kai's suggestion, "It's just that now Chen Lifang of the old Chen family is mixed with Liu Bingzheng, and it is obvious that he wants to support Gu Huanzhi, at least to ensure that Liu Bingzheng does not fall." I am worried that even if I let out the news, I may not be able to win Liu Bingzheng, after all, Chen Lifang is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee, and he can attend the high-level of the Politburo meeting, his identity is not weaker than mine, and his influence is even much greater than mine. ”
Ye Kai nodded, he knew that the second old man's worries were also reasonable, the country was originally "old man politics", and it was also the norm for leaders to retire without stopping, Chen Lifang had a very deep background in the army and political circles, and there were countless protégés and former officials, which was not so easy to deal with, especially now that he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee, he was not completely retired, and his speech was still listened to.
"Chen Lifang ......" Ye Kai muttered Lao Chen's name word by word, and then said, "It's not that there is no way to deal with it, let me figure it out." ”
"What do you think?" The second old man said strangely.
For this nephew, the second old man has often received surprises recently, so he naturally looks up to him.
"If the Central Advisory Committee is removed, there will naturally not be so many troubles." Ye Xingxin replied calmly.
"Remove the Central Advisory Committee?!" The second old man gasped, "Your guts are fat enough, much better than me!" ”
"Actually, it's not my wishful thinking, it's just the inevitability of historical development." Ye Kai said.
"Drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle is naturally the best way, but it is difficult to achieve." The second old man commented.
"That's not necessarily, in my opinion, at most, before next year's Party Congress, the Central Advisory Committee should bid farewell to the stage of history." Ye Kai asserted with confidence.
Ye Kai said this, and he was also confident.
At that time, the formation of the Central Advisory Committee was a form of organization to solve the problem of replacing the old and the new of the party's central leading body, with the aim of making the Central Committee of China younger, and at the same time allowing some veteran comrades to "continue to play a certain role" and "be the political assistants and staff officers of the Central Committee" after withdrawing from the front line.
Since Comrade Fang He set an example the year before last and completely stepped down from his leading position, the existence of the Central Advisory Committee has become a rather awkward issue, and it is difficult to decide whether to retain it or cancel it.
After all, the Central Advisory Committee is a leading body, which is on a par with the Central Committee in writing, and those who can enter it are all veteran cadres who have made certain contributions to the party and the state, and the members of the Central Advisory Committee are all 40 years or more of party experience and are elected by the party's national congress.
The emergence of the Central Advisory Committee was originally a compromise measure, that is, to resettle those leaders who had retired from leading posts but were unwilling to retire completely, and it was also a measure of last resort in the transitional period.
Although it is said that the Central Advisory Committee is bound to be abolished, it is not so simple to decide when to withdraw it, who will do it, and how it will be withdrawn.
Although the second old man did not consider the revocation of the Central Advisory Committee, he agreed with the news of Ye Kai's release of Gu Huanzhi, but this kind of thing was not suitable for him to operate.
"I'll do it." Ye Kai smiled and took this matter on himself.
Sure enough, the next day, the gossip in the capital was already flying.
"I heard that the deputy director of the General Logistics Department, Lieutenant General Gu Huan, was arrested for corruption!"
"I thought it was fake news, but you heard about it too!"
"This matter can't be faked, Gu Huanzhi's general's mansion, I've been to see it, it's heavily guarded!"
"It's a military district, and it's heavily guarded, how can you see it?"
"Isn't there a tall building nearby, I stand on the top floor of that building, I can see it clearly, don't you say it, there are military policemen coming in and out, something must have happened!"
"There is no wind and no waves, and the capital has entered an eventful autumn again."
As soon as the news of Gu Huanzhi's corruption arrest came out, it could no longer be concealed, causing an uproar in the capital.
