Bai Yuqing hadn't paid much attention to Li Xiaoning just now, and when an official reached his level, he could give others a cold face at any time. Now he couldn't get Fang Jingwen's words out of his mind, and when he heard that Li Xiaoning was going to take the initiative to express his opinion, he subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Li Xiaoning didn't directly say what he was thinking, but first asked Bai Yuqing: "Minister Bai, do you think it's troublesome to publish this article in Jiangnan Daily?" ”

Bai Yuqing frowned slightly, and said, "It's troublesome!" ”

Li Xiaoning asked again, "Why?" ”

Bai Yuqing's brows furrowed even more, and he said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, I don't have time to explain to you little by little." ”

Li Xiaoning smiled and said: "I am a small person, and sometimes the vision of a small person is not broad enough, so I will talk about what I can see in my eyes." I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Although the content of my article is negative, the protagonist of the incident in it is just a small mayor, and it will not have much impact on society at all. ”

"Who thinks about the impact of society?" Bai Yuqing said angrily.

"Then Minister Bai is thinking about the influence of officialdom." Li Xiaoning immediately answered, "I don't understand this even more." A small mayor would actually let you, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, throw a bogey? ”

"Don't speculate, I won't explain to you if I don't have time!" Bai Yuqing said with a deep face.

"Minister Bai doesn't need to explain to me." Li Xiaoning said calmly, "But I have to make a bold guess." No matter how fierce this matter is on Weibo, it is just a civil dispute that the public says is justified and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and governments at all levels can choose not to ask. However, Jiangnan Daily is an organ newspaper directly under the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and if Jiangnan Daily is published, it will represent the attitude of the Provincial Party Committee. As soon as the report is published, the government below must take action, and if it does not act, it is confronting the provincial party committee. ”

When Li Xiaoning said this, Bai Yuqing and Fang Jingwen's faces changed a little, and they couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoning, although they didn't speak, the meaning in their eyes was also obvious, that is, they signaled him to continue.

Li Xiaoning was encouraged, so he continued: "It stands to reason that Qin Fengwu is just a small section-level cadre. Even if his younger brother is the executive vice mayor of a prefecture-level city, the leaders of Pingchuan City will not choose to offend the provincial party committee for him. However, Minister Bai was obviously worried about this situation that should not have happened, and this had to make me wonder. ”

Fang Jingwen interjected: "What did you think of? ”

Li Xiaoning glanced at Fang Jingwen, who had a heavy face, and Bai Yuqing, who frowned, and then said, "Minister Bai's worries are definitely not unfounded. Then there is only one explanation. If this report is published by Jiangnan Daily, Pingchuan City will not only not punish Qin Fengwu, but will choose to confront Jiangnan Daily, that is, choose to confront the Propaganda Department, and behind the Propaganda Department is the Provincial Party Committee, does Pingchuan City have so much courage? Or is it worth offending the provincial party committee for the sake of a small section-level cadre? ”

Li Xiaoning was actually asking himself when he said this, and he had basically sorted out his thoughts in his heart. Bai Yuqing is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and there are probably only two people in the entire Jiangnan Province who can make him worried. It is reminiscent of Yuan Kegong as the new secretary who just arrived this year, while Chen Peng is the governor of Jiangnan Province who has been operating for many years. What Bai Yuqing was worried about was about to come out.

It stands to reason that an official of Qin Fengwu's level is the kind of pawn who can be abandoned when something happens. But now his problem has risen to the height of the high-level struggle in Jiangnan Province. Yuan Kegong personally instructed the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee to report on the problem of his small town mayor, which is to show an attitude, I will deal with you.

At this time, if Chen Peng's network chooses to obediently punish Qin Fengwu, it is showing weakness, and showing weakness may lead many people to directly switch to Yuan Kegong's camp.

Therefore, in this case, he had to bite the bullet to protect Qin Fengwu, a pawn, because he had become a key player who could move his whole body. The choice of Baoqin Fengwu represents a head-on confrontation between the power of the provincial government and the power of the provincial party committee. It's no wonder that Bai Yuqing would say that as soon as this report was published, it represented a declaration of war.

This is not a simple report, nor is it a matter of a small town mayor, it is a question related to who has more power control between the provincial party committee and the provincial government.

Li Xiaoning already understood what Bai Yuqing was worried about. He is already a person who is about to retire, and it is definitely not a wise choice to get involved in the battle between Yuan Kegong and Chen Peng at this time, as the Minister of Propaganda, everyone will definitely put him in Yuan Kegong's camp, but it is obvious that he himself is also skeptical of the newly appointed Yuan Kegong. Either suspicion of anything else, or suspicion of Yuan Kegong's power control.

Bai Yuqing and Fang Jingwen did not answer Li Xiaoning's question, but the expressions on their faces showed what they were thinking: Li Xiaoning's guess was not bad at all.

Li Xiaoning paused for a moment, and then said: "Have the two leaders ever played cards or mahjong?" ”

Bai Yuqing and Fang Jingwen were stunned for a moment, they couldn't understand why Li Xiaoning suddenly changed the topic, and it was a topic that had nothing to do with the matter they were discussing. But the two of them were obviously attracted by what Li Xiaoning said, so they both nodded silently.

Li Xiaoning smiled and said: "I want to ask, if your luck is very bad when you play cards, since you sit at the poker table, you always lose alone, and three people win, at this time, what should you do?" ”

Fang Jingwen frowned and pondered, but Bai Yuqing almost didn't think much about it, and said, "Two ways." ”

Li Xiaoning asked, "Which two ways?" ”

Bai Yuqing said: "The first way is to shuffle the cards. Shuffle the cards several times and shuffle them as much as possible. Now because there is a mahjong machine, there is no need to shuffle the cards manually, so, the quality of the machine qì shuffle is good, and it also avoids someone from making ghosts. If you still have bad luck in this situation, you can consider changing the air, that is, changing the seat. ”

Li Xiaoning nodded and said, "Yes." It is impossible for people to always have good luck or bad luck all the time. Sometimes, when you shuffle the cards, your luck changes. It's philosophical. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoning shut up and didn't say anything. Bai Yuqing and Fang Jingwen are both smart people, and they are both people who have been fighting in officialdom for a long time, so that's enough to say this. They will naturally understand that if they say too much and too bluntly, it will not be good.

Sure enough, after Fang Jingwen listened to Li Xiaoning's words, he stood up and said to Bai Yuqing: "Chief, you are busy, I am going back, I am afraid that the boss will find me something." Xiaoning, let's go. He was very satisfied with today's results, in fact, what Li Xiaoning said, he understood in his heart, but because of his identity as a secretary, it was inconvenient to say some things directly to Bai Yuqing. Now saying it through Li Xiaoning's mouth not only expresses Yuan Kegong's meaning, but also clears his own responsibility, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Bai Yuqing also understood what Li Xiaoning meant. Not only does the card field need to shuffle, but officialdom also needs to shuffle. To put it bluntly, the control of power is actually the control of officials. Your ability to control power is not only determined by your personal ability, but also by the number of people in power you control, that is, it depends on what kind of cards you hold in your hand. Officialdom shuffles the cards, precisely to control more cards.

The current situation of Jiangnan officialdom, Bai Yuqing knows it very well in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be worried. Most of the good cards are in the hands of Governor Chen Peng, and Pingchuan City is even more ironclad, with the secretary of the municipal party committee, the mayor, the executive deputy mayor, and several county party secretaries and county magistrates under him all members of Chen Peng's faction.

Li Xiaoning's article, on the surface, is written about Caoqiao Town and Xinpi County, but in fact, it is not Pingchuan City? Yuan Kegong personally instructed to publish it in Jiangnan Daily, which is not clear that he wants to poke the hornet's nest in Pingchuan City? Is it to reshuffle the power of Jiangnan Province?

If they don't protect Qin Fengwu, then Yuan Kegong will directly achieve a superficial victory, and immediately a lot of cards will run into Yuan Kegong's hands. If they want to protect Qin Fengwu, Yuan Kegong can take the opportunity to take the entire Pingchuan City. How many ass are clean for the current officials? After a thorough investigation, I don't know how many people will fall, even if the entire Pingchuan City can't be replaced by Yuan Kegong's people, but Chen Peng, the old dealer, can be pulled down and change the situation of his dominance.

Of course, since it is a hornet's nest, you need to consider what the consequences of stabbing are, after all, hornets can sting. And Bai Yuqing, as the specific executor of stabbing this hornet's nest, must be thoughtful.

If this hornet's nest is poked well, Chen Peng's control power in Pingchuan City will definitely be weakened, and the political pattern of the entire Jiangnan Province will also change. In a field of power, one faction dominates, and history has long proven that there is no end to the legacy. Yuan Kegong's efforts to break the monopoly of one faction are absolutely correct and in line with the science of power. It is believed that Yuan Kegong has also received the support of the central authorities in this regard, because the central authorities cannot be unaware of the situation in Jiangnan Province, otherwise they would not have parachuted Yuan Kegong, a central cadre.

But what if you don't poke well? If you don't poke well, the hornet will definitely sting. The question is who can be stung.

Bai Yuqing felt that Yuan Kegong would definitely not be stung, because once he encountered a strong resistance, he could choose to stop at any time. And what about yourself? There is a great possibility that it will be affected, but it is not a big problem. Because he can use the president of Jiangnan Daily as a shield.

After weighing it repeatedly, Bai Yuqing still felt that the temptation of this matter outweighed the risk. He sorted out his thoughts, picked up the phone and called the secretary, and said, "Xiao Wang, you come in." ”
