Volume 5 The Five Mountains Are Light Chapter 30 The Might of the Princes (II)
At home in the family home of the Beijing Red Cross Society, Lu Zheng sat at the red sandalwood coffee table, looking at the information in his hand, and wondering what he should do.
The empty living room, there is no one at home, my parents and the white gauze bag have not come back yet, after so many years, it is rare for my father to relax.
Who should I go to when I appeal to the central government? Do you want to talk to your father? Tell him about what happened in southern Yunnan?
Lu Zheng was pondering, and the ringtone of the phone on the coffee table rang rapidly, and Lu Zheng picked it up.
"Secretary Lu is not here?" In the microphone, it was a slightly familiar male voice, and Lu Zheng immediately remembered who he was, Xu Guoping, former member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department.
When the Southern Press criticized himself and Ossan, Minister Xu called him and asked him to use the media he controlled to argue with the South.
In fact, Lu Zheng and Minister Xu don't have much contact, if they are others, they will definitely not hear that it is Minister Xu through the voice on the phone, but Lu Zheng has something special about his body.
"Uncle Xu, I'm Zhengzi, and my dad hasn't come back yet."
Xu Guoping laughed and said, "Zhengzi, Secretary Lu hasn't come back yet?" Haha, I heard that the old couple and your fiancΓ©e went on a trip, right? When Uncle Xu invites you to dinner, he talks so fast, and in a blink of an eye, you will get married. β
Lu Zheng laughed, he really felt embarrassed, I don't know if Minister Xu knows or not, his so-called "fiancΓ©e" is only fourteen years old.
"You're home alone, aren't you? So, come to my side for dinner in the evening? It's been a long time since I've talked to you. So, you wait, I'll send a car to pick you up. β
Lu Zheng could hear that Minister Xu was very enthusiastic, not polite to himself, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, now, it's time to see people's hearts for a long time.
Minister Xu once controlled the Propaganda Department of the capital for many years, and was born in the "China Daily", and was a well-known red theoretician in the conservative camp; at the same time, judging from the public opinion tendencies in his control, he was also a tough hawk, an eagle on the outside and an eagle on the inside, and he was promoted in last year's incident, and is now the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee (ministerial level), and was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at the same time.
Although judging from last year's events, he is different from himself and some of his father's political ideas, but he was picked up by his father, and has been calling for his father to return to work in the party, especially last year, he is completely not shy away from taking political risks, but he has a firm position and is a very willful figure, in fact, in high-level politics, it is this kind of character that will gradually have influence in the party.
Today's Minister Xu can be said to be one of the most important departments of the Mesozoic Era of the Beijing faction, and he can be regarded as the old representative of his father's party, representing the standard-bearer of his father's line in the Beijing faction.
Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm not going, I just came back, and I'm a little tired." "Honestly, there are many things that you need to consider.
Minister Xu pondered for a moment and said, "That's okay, you rest, if you want to come over tomorrow, you can drive over by yourself, and I also gave myself a day off and was at home all day." As he spoke, he sighed softly, perhaps, he felt that Lu Zheng had some knots in his heart. After all, no matter what happens afterwards, he didn't align himself with Lu Zheng's father in his political stance in last year's crucial showdown, as can be seen from the tendency of articles he controls in the media.
Lu Zheng also knows that in fact, there is not much right or wrong about these things, that is, his father also understands Minister Xu's approach.
Listening to Minister Xu's words, Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said casually: "My car is in southern Yunnan and was damaged, okay, I'll take a taxi tomorrow." β
Minister Xu seemed slightly stunned and asked, "You were in a car accident?" Are people alright? β
"It's fine." Lu Zheng didn't want to say more, but suddenly, his heart moved.
"I heard that you had an unpleasant quarrel with people in southern Yunnan? Is there such a thing? Minister Xu asked thoughtfully.
Originally, the person Lu Zheng was looking for was not Minister Xu, but at this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"That's it, I'm in the Beijing Hotel now, I'm not going home, send a car to pick you up, tell me, what's wrong." Minister Xu knew from Lu Zheng's hesitation that things were not so simple.
Lu Zheng groaned slightly and said, "Okay." β
In a suite of the Beijing Hotel, Lu Zheng met Minister Xu.
A secretary on the side helped Lu Zheng make a cup of tea with a slightly quaint tea set, and Minister Xu said with a smile: "I heard Lao Zhao mention that you had a conflict with a deputy secretary in southern Yunnan, and he called you, right?" β
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, then put the materials he brought with him on the coffee table, and said: "It is the son of Qin Liangxing, deputy secretary of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, in the past few years, he has used trading companies to smuggle, help drug trafficking and collect a large number of kickbacks, and have been rampant in local lawlessness
Minister Xu originally had a smile on his face, his expression was very relaxed, and after listening to Lu Zheng's words, his brows gradually wrinkled, obviously, he didn't expect it to be such a serious matter, it was Lu Zheng who came forward to testify against the relatives of a deputy ministerial-level official, he patted the materials on the coffee table, and was silent.
"Qin Liangxing in southern Yunnan, I have heard of this person." Minister Xu thought for a while and said, "Okay, you can take care of this matter, and I'll handle it." β
Lu Zheng looked at Minister Xu's expression, and knew that Minister Xu knew Qin Liangxing, and he also knew that Qin Liangxing had a close relationship with Yunnan No. 1, and Minister Xu naturally knew the status of Yunnan No. 1 in the party, so although Minister Xu said that he would deal with this matter, it was really difficult to say what happened to Zuihou.
Lu Zheng pondered and said: "Qin Xiaolong, this person, is Qin Liangxing's son, he completely regards party discipline and state law as nothing, if he is not severely punished and continues to connive at his evil, I don't know what he can do." Let's just talk about me, because he knew from his father that I reported his problem to the province, so my life was threatened by him, and last night, he came to me, because I didn't agree to his request to calm down, so, as soon as he left, I drove out of the parking lot, and I was hit by two large trucks one after the other, and the van was basically scrapped......"
"What? Can't you? Xu Guoping was stunned.
Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for the people he instigated, I don't know who I offended in southern Yunnan, especially in Nanzhou." β
Xu Guoping's face sank, he slowly lit a cigarette, and handed the cigarette case to Lu Zheng, seeing Lu Zheng waving his hand and refusing, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, don't come forward, leave it to me to deal with." β
also said that it would be handled by him, but the meaning of this sentence was very different from Fang Cai.
Lu Zheng nodded slightly.
In a villa in the suburbs of southern Yunnan.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, Qin Liangxing had a calm face and smoked one after another.
Qin Xiaolong, who was standing on the side, covered his face, he didn't dare to say a word, he had never seen his father's expression so solemn, and he had never been slapped by Qin Liangxing, he was really uneasy in his heart, just now, when he was fooling around with the two girls, his father came over, drove away the two girls and slapped him.
"You sent a car to hit Lu Zheng?" Qin Liangxing stared at Qin Xiaolong.
Qin Xiaolong didn't dare to deny it, and said, "Yes, I just want to scare him, isn't their Lu family bad?" This kind of boy, scaring him is more effective than anything else. β
Qin Liangxing smiled, it was a sarcastic smile, staring at Qin Xiaolong: "You? Say that Lu Zheng is a son-in-law? In my heart, I sighed deeply, although my son is a son-in-law, but I didn't underestimate Lu Zheng, and later I found out that Lu Zheng Weishenme was pulled off the horse in Wushan, and I originally thought that he was just relying on his family relationship to get a young man early, and he would be unpopular, and someone took advantage of Lu Tianhe's downfall to get him down, and he was just a hairy boy who was on the head of the Lu family.
Who knows, I later learned that this Lu Zheng, who was only less than 30 years old, actually took advantage of the SAR to create a shiyantian with a faint sense of line in Wushan, and even a small team with its own political demands, although it was only a prototype. This person really can't be underestimated, perhaps, the blood of the old lady of the Lu family did not appear in Lu Tianhe, but it was vividly reflected in his grandson, and before he stood up, some people called him a small steel company, obviously, the people who said this regarded him as the seedling of the political family.
If I knew that Lu Zheng was such a person, I wouldn't have treated him so carelessly.
Only now, it's too late to regret it.
The joint investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee has been stationed in Nanzhou to investigate some problems that have arisen in southern Yunnan.
It was only through various channels that it was inquired about, and what made the top level of the central government angry was that a deputy director-general of a ministry and commission stood up to report and expose the problem, and he was almost killed by someone in a car accident.
Qin Liangxing could imagine that Lu Tianhe's old friend was already indignant about what happened to him, but the general trend is like this, and there is no way to return to heaven, in the party, Lu Tianhe has gained a lot of sympathy points, and now, Lu Tianhe's only son, a deputy department-level Yu Ministry, was actually threatened with a car accident and even attempted to be murdered in Nanzhou, so naturally it was like stabbing a hornet's nest.
On the bright side, a heavyweight of the Beijing faction who was in the position of a high ranking in the bureau committee made severe criticisms of the southern Yunnan provincial party committee, not even criticizing him Qin Liangxing, but criticizing the No. 1 provincial party committee and the entire provincial party committee.
Qin Liangxing also knew that the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee was facing unprecedented pressure from the central government, among which, Governor Qi Xuanwang also played a great role in it, Qi Xuanwang may have been waiting for this kind of opportunity, and maybe even he had been involved in it from the beginning, but it was hidden behind the scenes.
What's more, some political groups in the party that are already dissatisfied with the leadership of the No. 1 Provincial Party Committee at the central level have also taken the opportunity to stand up and exert pressure.
However, no matter how the current situation is caused by various factors, the initiator is still his own son, or Lu Zheng.
Looking at his son, Qin Liangxing sighed deeply and said, "You, confused, Lu Zheng, this person is not afraid of making a big deal, you are good, you sent it to the door by yourself." β
Qin Xiaolong gritted his teeth and said, "I should be him"
"Shut up" Qin Liangxing looked at his son in amazement, and suddenly found that in his son's eyes, it seemed that a human life was nothing at all, and the little dragon in his impression was not like this at all, since when did he know him less and less?
However, Qin Liangxing immediately sighed deeply and said, "Spring is blooming, the scenery of Myanmar should be very good, you should go and see it." β
Qin Xiaolong was arrogant, but not stupid, he was stunned for a moment when he heard his father's words, and said, "Dad, it's not so serious, right?" The meaning of his father's words was naturally to ask him to go to Myanmar to avoid the limelight.
Qin Liangxing slowly snuffed out the cigarette butt, looked at Qin Xiaolong, his eyes were very complicated, and said, "No matter what I do, don't come back." β
Qin Xiaolong froze, his father's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, he never thought that in his mind, his father, who was like a towering mountain, would collapse one day, and he couldn't imagine his life without his father.
Qin Liangxing looked at his son deeply, and sighed in his heart, his father, may have disappointed his son, but when faced with the unprecedented pressure of the Beijing faction, don't say that he is Secretary Li, and he is also in danger, how to be the king and hegemon in the mountains, the power of the princes, after all, is only the local princes, how can they fight against this powerful faction from the north.
"Dad, what are you going to do when I'm gone? You're going to be fine, right? Qin Xiaolong asked anxiously.
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly, I don't know weishenme, it was particularly harsh.
Qin Liangxing's body froze, then got up, and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and saw that under the night light, outside the wooden fence, there were many people standing in shadows, as if there were armed policemen wearing green camouflage uniforms.
Qin Liangxing was indifferent, and glanced back at his son, Qin Xiaolong's face was full of horror at this moment, as if the end of Shijie had come.
At Lu Zheng's home in Beijing, Lu Zheng was drinking tea and chatting with his father, and during this time, Lu Zheng had been in Beijing, reporting to the ministry on the assistance to the autonomous armed forces in northern Myanmar during this time, and at the same time, it happened that a delegation from Myanmar came to Beijing, and he assisted the ministry in doing some coordination work.
"You can't go back to southern Yunnan." Lu Tianhe suddenly mentioned the matter of southern Yunnan.
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, yes, no matter what the conclusion of the investigation team is, it is impossible for him to return to southern Yunnan to carry out his work normally, after all, I am afraid that I will offend a basket of people, of course, there will be more people in the department to applaud themselves.
"Do you regret it?" Lu Tianhe looked at his son with a smile.
Although the officialdom storm in southern Yunnan started by Lu Zheng, it has only become a factional overturning and a political speculation for some people, and to a certain extent, Lu Zheng has become someone else's pawn.
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "No regrets." "Either way, my purpose has been achieved.
"Guoping talked to me, for the sake of today's plan, you have a few choices, whether you go abroad, or do some research work in ministries and commissions, in short, first steady, wait for these things, and digest them slowly." As Lu Tianhe spoke, he smiled and glanced at Iris, who was holding a teacup with a special lady next to him.
Lu Zheng nodded, too, now that I am going where things happen, if this is always the case, my image in politics is very negative.
Following his father's gaze, Lu Zheng also looked at Bai Shabao, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, the Bai Sha Bao sitting on the side was completely a little lady, completely different from when she was with herself, as if she had changed into a different person, especially quiet and gentle, it seems that in front of her parents, she has always used this image to show people. It's no wonder that even the father, who was originally suspicious, seems to have gradually accepted her, and thinks that having such a daughter-in-law seems to be good.
This kid is too good at camouflage. Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly.
"It's not too early, you send Iris back to the hotel in a while, don't bully her." In my mother's eyes, this daughter-in-law must be very painful, and I don't know what Bai Shabao said to my mother, which gave my mother the impression that she always bullied her.
Looking at the white gauze bag sitting timidly like a quiet little princess, Lu Zheng was a little crazy, scratched his head, and was speechless.
At this time, the phone rang, Lu Zheng picked up the phone, and the voice inside seemed to be a little hesitant, "Excuse me, is it Commissioner Lu's home?" β
"Rong Zhou? It's me, Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng smiled happily, it was Wang Rongzhou, director of the Lanjiang Administration Office, who reminded himself that Xie Hongwen's fall into the water was not so simple. A while ago, my name was Lu Xiaohu and I gave him a phone.
When Wang Rongzhou heard that it was Lu Zheng, his tone was a little pleased, "Ah, it's Commissioner Lu, when will you go back to Lanjiang, many comrades want me to bring a message, looking forward to your return, but I heard that you won't go back to Lanjiang, you, you won't have an accident, right?" Speaking of zuihou, Wang Rongzhou seemed to be a little worried.
To be honest, this kind of blatant reporting is that the reported person is investigated, and the whistleblower is usually not a winner.
Lu Zheng smiled: "It's okay, I'm fine." β
Wang Rongzhou was relieved, and after a while, he said, "I called to tell you that yesterday, Qin Xiaolong was arrested." β
Lu Zheng let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's good to be caught, it's good to be caught." "The mood was suddenly extremely relaxed.
Later, Wang Rongzhou didn't hear what Lu Zheng said, as if he was thanking himself again and again, and said that he hoped that before he left, he could go back to Lanjiang.
Lu Zheng listened to Wang Rongzhou's chatter, before, I didn't know that he was such a mother-in-law, but in desperation, my heart was warm.
