When Li Runji heard this, he interjected: "Secretary Lu, Meng Gongcheng accused you, and the actual spearhead is mainly directed at me. Because he knows that I have a good relationship with you, if the central leaders believe him, then I will be the first person who needs to be adjusted and dealt with. He may have known from some sources that you recommended me to the central government to serve as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, so his first purpose was to prevent me from being promoted smoothly. And a large part of the reason for his hatred with me is because last year I ordered the investigation and punishment of his cronies, Yan Changgeng, deputy head of Daxing District and director of the Management Committee of Xinghai Development Zone. At that time, on the issue of dealing with Yan Changgeng, Meng Gongcheng insisted on a lenient sentence, but later Yan Changgeng was detained in accordance with the law and sentenced to life imprisonment. And Yan Changgeng's backstage and backer is Meng Gongcheng. Therefore, in this matter, Meng Gongcheng hated me to the core. In addition, he is about to retire soon, and he is not afraid that you, the secretary of the provincial party committee, will give him small shoes to wear. Therefore, he began to unscrupulously spread rumors and sue him. This man is a sinister villain, and I don't even know what words Lu Dao uses to describe his despicability and shamelessness! ”

Speaking of this, Li Runji raised his head and looked at Secretary Lu and asked, "Secretary Lu, do the main leaders of the Central Committee have any thoughts and plans for the leadership group after the Tianjiang Party Congress?" Just now you said that the political situation in Tianjiang may be very uncertain, what do you mean exactly? ”

Secretary Lu sighed and said: "According to the information I have obtained: after Meng Gongcheng's complaint, because I was worried that I would form my own interest group in Tianjiang and form a dominant force, the main leaders of the central government are ready to engage in a little balancing tactics: I nominated several people for promotion, including Guo Guangwei, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Chang Ying, director of the Organization Department, Qiu Wangxi, director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of M City, and several other comrades, the Central Committee agreed in principle to my nomination and recommendation, as long as the inspection is passed, After the Party Congress, they can be officially announced.

"However, because Meng Gongcheng's letter of accusation emphasized that you have too close a relationship with me, the central government decided to transfer you to Province Z as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. And Province Z is an extremely economically backward western province, and if you go to work there, it actually smells a little derogatory, which is very unfair to you.

Moreover, the Central Committee has decided that Comrade Qin Ge will be transferred to Xijiang Province to serve as secretary of the provincial party committee. Originally, I suggested that Comrade Huang Zhifu, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, should succeed Comrade Qin Ge as governor. However, the Central Committee decided to transfer Comrade Huang Zhifu out of Tianjiang and arranged for Comrade Ni Xiaohu, the current deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Long An Province, to go to Tianjiang to replace Comrade Qin Ge as the governor of Tianjiang Province. arranged for Comrade Song Yifan, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Railways, to replace Comrade Huang Zhifu as Deputy Secretary of the Tianjiang Provincial Party Committee; Comrade Wang Hao, director of the Third Supervision Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, will be arranged to take your place as a member of the Standing Committee of the Tianjin Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"I know Ni Xiaohu, who turned out to be the secretary of a major leading comrade of the Central Committee. Although this leading comrade has taken a back seat, his influence is still very great. For example, the current secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee and the first minister, he was the one who pulled it up at the beginning. And Xie Hongda, Zhou Jiqing and others are the cronies of these two leaders of the Central Standing Committee. Therefore, Ni Xiaohu came to Tianjiang to serve as governor, but he actually came to contain me. Because he and the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection Wang Hao and the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Song Yifan have all worked together, and they can be said to be old colleagues. The three of them inserted into the team of our provincial party committee, just to mix sand with me, the purpose is not to make our Tianjiang Province an independent kingdom. Although I never thought of turning Tianjiang Province into an independent kingdom, it is normal for the central government to have such thoughts. Therefore, I can only choose to accept passively, and I can't have any complaints. ”

Li Runji heard Secretary Lu's embarrassed tone, and knew that he felt very guilty for not being able to help him rise one step further, so he comforted him and said, "Secretary Lu, please don't worry about my personal problems." You also know that I am a person who is at peace with what happens, as long as there is a job for me to do, it doesn't matter where I work. Although Province Z is an underdeveloped province and I am not familiar with my work in the past, it is a good opportunity for me to exercise and enrich myself. Please believe me: no matter where I am, I will definitely do my job well, and will not disappoint your trust, recommendation and training. ”

Secretary Lu knew that what Li Runji said was from his heart, not pretending to be a gesture, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Runji, what I told you just now is just some unconfirmed news. Although the credibility of this information is very high, as long as the central authorities have not made a formal decision, and as long as your appointment and dismissal decision documents have not been formally issued, I believe that there will always be a way for us to change our decision on you.

"I have made an appointment with Comrade Wu Dongsheng just now, and in a few days I will go to Beijing to visit the leaders of No. 1 and No. 2, and once again report to them about your character, your ability, and your reputation, and also explain the reasons why I recommend Guo Guangwei, Qingtao, Chang Ying, Qiu Wangxi, and other comrades. Judging from the current situation, the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders are still relatively new to me, and they don't take Meng Gongcheng's slander to heart. The reason why they want to arrange for Comrade Ni Xiaohu to be appointed governor and to arrange Wang Hao, Song Yifan, and other comrades to the leading body of the provincial party committee is that, on the one hand, it is to silence the mouths of several other leaders of the Standing Committee who have been bewitched by Meng Gongcheng's slanderous words, and on the other hand, this is indeed a need to contain and supervise each other. This is a need for strategic balance, and it is also a need to prevent local officials from forming a monopoly and disobeying the central leadership.

"So, regarding your question, my thoughts are: Your transfer from Tianjiang Province is a definite and irrevocable decision, and I can't say anything for you. However, I would like to suggest to the central leadership: You can go to province Z to take up a post, but you should go up in the ranking of the Standing Committee. Therefore, it is better to go to province Z to serve as the third-ranked deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. In this way, you can be regarded as having a substantial promotion, which will be a little better for your future future. ”

Li Runji said a little worriedly: "Secretary Lu, if the central leaders already have specific ideas, if you go to talk about the promotion for me again, will the leaders really suspect that I am in an alliance with you?" ”

Secretary Lu shook his head and said, "Comrade Runji, don't worry about this, as long as you are no longer in Tianjiang Province, even if we form an alliance, what's the use?" So, the head of No. 1 and No. 2 will not think so. Besides, we have always advocated that we should not avoid relatives, if I dare not recommend you to the central government just because I have a good relationship with you, that is to prove that I have a ghost in my heart! ”
