Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Zixuan and Jun Ru were waiting at the airport, asking Lao Liu to drive back for the New Year, and the two were in love with me, but an inopportune phone rang.

"Mayor, the investigation is clear, and there is a change in the Propaganda Department." Li Huan didn't know what Mayor Yang was busy with in the provincial capital, but seeing Song Jingcong and others' solemn faces, he also knew that Yang Zixuan might go to the provincial capital to have something important to do, so the phone call was postponed until now.

"What's the change?" Yang Zixuan frowned.

"Cui Likun has other thoughts, this time Fan Qingli was taken down, it was his hands and feet." Li Huan didn't expect that as soon as he moved his nest, the Propaganda Department would not be able to command him like before, and he was very angry in his heart, "It seems that he has to clean him up." ”

"Let's figure out his motives first, Fan Qingli was finalized by you, and he dared to take it, which shows two points, one is that after you left the Propaganda Department, he found a new backer, and the other is that he wants to purge your influence on the Propaganda Department and force the old cadres who followed you to stand up again, no matter what, the iron bucket within the Propaganda Department is facing the possibility of splitting into two parts and three parts......

Li Huan deeply agreed with Yang Zixuan's analysis, and could only scold angrily, "Cui Likun, this pig's head, the functional influence of the Propaganda Department in the party committee organization has begun to gradually weaken, and the wheel of authority is not as good as the political and legal committee that commands the public procuratorate and the law, it is not as good as the vertical discipline inspection committee that has a special management of cadres, and it is not as loud as the organization department that has the management of cadres, and it is only one line higher than the united front work department, and now it is still divided internally, I am afraid that some people in the party committee organization will not take the propaganda department seriously......"

Li Huan has worked in the Propaganda Department for many years. Now that he has just left on the front foot, the Propaganda Department has been made into such a troubled water, and he is really heartbroken.

"New backers. Could it be Bai Dongshan......" Li Huan thought about it for a while, and then felt that it was impossible, Bai Dongshan couldn't convince Cui Likun for the time being, besides, he didn't have the ability to push Cui Likun to the top, "It shouldn't be him......"

"He doesn't have the energy, the ability. The ability to win over, I think it should be the handiwork of the provincial propaganda minister, and only he can give Cui Likun the confidence to call you out. And if Cui Likun seeks the position of Minister of Propaganda, Miao Yulong is a person who can't get around, running to the provincial capital, and getting familiar with each other. It's not difficult. And I believe that with Miao Yulong's mind, it is not a strange thing to insert one more nail of his own in Guangling......"

"That's strange, things haven't worked out yet, now it's still a lot of variables, so I jumped out and argued with you and me, with my understanding of Cui Likun's character, he is not such a reckless person." Li Huan still didn't think of the subtle joints.

"It's easy to understand. Miao Yulong wasn't sure if he could help him win this position, but he was at this level. It's not a stupid person, you always have to take some "advance payment" from Cui Likun, taking Fan Qingli is secondary, the important thing is to openly talk to you about the attitude, there is a letter of nomination in the Water Margin, this is the certificate of nomination that Cui Likun handed to Lord Shantou......" Yang Zixuan sneered, "Even if things don't work out and the position of the Propaganda Department can't be taken, this Cui Likun stands on the opposite side of you, and he must be closely attached to Miao Yulong, otherwise there will be no place for him, this is Miao Yulong's means, not a penny spent, a verbal promise, Even if it's a blank check, you can turn a magistrate with real power around......"

Although he didn't see it in person, Yang Zixuan restored the whole scene, it was not too difficult, Li Huan praised, "No matter how much Miao Yulong thinks about it, he can't hide it from you, mayor......"

This sycophant was shot in a timely manner, Yang Zixuan was very useful, but he said, "I can't hide it, but I can't stop his attack for the time being......"

"The mayor has gained a lot in the provincial capital, right? Are you going to go back to the capital for two days? Li Huan didn't think so, he had been with Yang Zixuan for so long, he knew Yang Zixuan's temperament, and he liked this strategy of hiding behind and eating tigers the most, he felt that Yang Zixuan should have gotten a good card when he went to the provincial capital this time.

"Provincial capital? The provincial capital met with a retired old national leader, and now he is going back to the capital......"

As soon as Li Huan heard the "retired old leader of the country", his heart was shocked, even the olive branch of Su Lao, Yang Zixuan could refuse, this retired old national leader could make Yang Zixuan run to the provincial capital, that was afraid that the level was even more terrifying......

What kind of horror is this "mountain" that I follow?

At the beginning, he followed Yang Zixuan, just because Yang Zixuan was young enough, and he gambled that Yang Zixuan would take over Zhou Lichang's secretary of the municipal party committee, so he, the propaganda minister, could be regarded as a boil out, helping him adjust to the more core positions of other party committee standing committees, such as executive deputy mayor or deputy secretary, which can be promoted to the position of the main hall in one step......

However, after Yang Zixuan showed more and more of his deep network, he was not so eager for quick success, and began to feel that Yang Zixuan's background may not be so simple.

Yang Zixuan didn't say it, so Li Huan didn't ask, but knowing Yang Zixuan's strength cleared up a lot of his previous depression, the stronger he was as a mountain adult, the more optimistic his prospects were......

Take the plane to the capital, it is already four o'clock in the afternoon, out of the airport, the cold is coming, much colder than Nansu Guangling, Jun Ru is hiding beside him, a little cold, Yang Zixuan booked a hotel first,

After staying, Yang Zixuan reported Xu Jing's safety on the phone, the voice over there was noisy, and it was estimated that he was also having fun, Yang Zixuan really liked this "empathetic" girl, he used to think that Xu Jing might be very jealous, but he didn't expect that after the relationship was confirmed, he turned to a person, which made him feel guilty and pity.

He and Jun Ru had a meal in a nearby place, discussing how to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve night at night, and Jun Ru went to the old house where he used to live......

"Chinese New Year's Eve generally has to worship ancestors." Yang Zixuan originally wanted to come back early and sweep the graves of his parents.

The two discussed and began to buy things for tomb sweeping separately......

Although it was late, there were not many people who came to pay respects, sweep the graves, and pay respects, and on Chinese New Year's Eve to remember the ancestors, Yang Zixuan and Jun Ru wore sunglasses, neatly dressed and solemn, and Jun Ru carried Hades coins and cigarettes and alcohol. followed Yang Zixuan and walked into Babaoshan together......

In the depths of winter, the Babaoshan Cemetery, which is full of fallen leaves, also looks more solemn. As a well-known garden-style cemetery with high specifications in China, it is located in the foothills of the eastern part of the capital.

After turning a few road intersections, I occasionally saw scattered people, according to memory, this cemetery, Yang Zixuan has been to this cemetery a lot before. The Yang family's ancestral hometown is Jiangzhou on the banks of the Dongjiang River in Lingnan, and Jiangzhou has always attached importance to sweeping graves on Chinese New Year's Eve, but Yang Zixuan is worried that he will meet old acquaintances. found that there was no one in front of the tomb of his father and mother, so he took Jun Ru's hand and walked over.

It was the first time for Junru to come here and step on the soft green space. The way of porcelain inlay. Green cypress ......

The white tombstone, standing in the cold wind, there is a black and white photo on the tombstone, a young couple, the man is sitting, the woman is standing gently behind him, the man is heroic, and the woman is beautiful. Gentle and incomparable.

Below the photo are the names of men and women: loving father Qiao Mu, mother Liu Lan. Font: Iron painting, silver hook. It seems like a lot of effort.

There is also an inscription under the tombstone, which has only two sentences: a lifetime of fighting, a lifetime of innocence.

The inscription is the name of a big man at the moment.

Even if Jun Ru doesn't care much about the high-level political pattern, he is also familiar with this name, and it appears on the news from time to time, and now one of the main leaders of the hot army, although he is old, after the change, he will inevitably retire, but now it is in full swing, and the peach and plum are all over the world......

Jun Ru occasionally imagined what it would be like to come here, but when it really came to this point, she was also trembling.

Any name that appears here can shock her to ......

"A lifetime of fighting, a lifetime of innocent ......"

Yang Zixuan came here for the first time after regaining his new life this time, touching these words on the inscription, thinking of his father's heroic appearance on the battlefield and being as strong as him, he couldn't help but burst into tears......

God is jealous of talents. My father was already a division-level cadre in the counterattack against Vietnam, and if he lived until now, the rocket speed would not be much worse than his own......

Yang Zixuan had no father and no mother in his previous life, and after fusing the memories of this life, he had already regarded them as his own parents, and Yang Zixuan, who rarely showed his feelings, suddenly opened the chatterbox that he had accumulated for several years, and talked to Jun Ru with affection about the hardships he endured in order to raise him up, and when it came to emotion, he sighed, "They have too many things in their hearts, children's affairs, all big things, parents will meet many people, but the closest ones are their own children......"

Although her mother never met and passed away forever, she finally buried the two together.

Yang Zixuan picked up the tools to clean up the perimeter of the cemetery, the tombstone, the pedestal and Jun Ru together, and completed the work neatly, which is considered to be the completion of the tomb sweeping, and the father and mother under the high position of the nine springs bowed three times, put on some tributes, lit three incense sticks, and worshiped the father and mother......

"Dad, I'm coming to see you, my son didn't have a good life before, and you suffered a lot, but I promise that from now on, I will become a productive person, a useful person for the country and the people, I want to be your pride, I want you to be proud of your son, and you will definitely be like Dad, fight all your life, and be innocent all your life...... I am your son, and I will never disgrace you! ”

As he spoke, he already burst into tears on his face.

"Mom, although I haven't seen you, I only see your beautiful shadow in the photo, do you see it, the son you have only seen once has grown up and can be a useful person, I will often come to see you in the future, you will not be lonely, I also have a girl with me, her name is Liang Junru, she is a very good girl, she loves me more than her life, I love her more than my life, I love her very much, she loves me very much, do you feel satisfied......

Jun Ru, who was standing in the cold wind, heard this, his mood was agitated, he bowed slightly, and his tone was firm and affectionate, "Uncle, aunt, I will definitely take good care of Zixuan on your behalf, definitely!" ”

After talking, Yang Zixuan and Jun Ru respectfully poured a pot of soju, lit a cigarette that their father loved to smoke before his death, and dedicated it to the grave......

In the ancient capital, the twilight was heavy, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sound of firecrackers sounded everywhere, breaking the gloom and tranquility.

In the end, Jun Ru presented a cluster of gardenias, and Yang Zixuan held a bunch of red roses, he knew that this was his mother's favorite flower before her death, bright and bright, just like her character, dare to love and hate, and never regretted it......

"Mom and Dad, let's go."

The two held hands and slowly paced away, and Yang Zixuan talked to Jun Ru about his parents' past. Jun Ru said slowly, "Where is the other aunt ......?"

"I'm with you, she's so alone. Not buried here, she asked for it, don't be buried here......"

Half an hour after the two left, two more tall girls walked in outside the door, taller girls wearing black tights and formal suits. Wrapped in a burgundy scarf, only half of his face can be seen, and he doesn't wear much makeup. But the very fair skin and clear eyes, and the temperament between gestures all imply that this is a stunning beauty. Another shorter girl. There are also about one meter six or eight. Wearing a coffee-colored suit and skirt, white stretch sneakers, and some light makeup, he attracted frequent attention from others, each holding a bunch of flowers and other things......

"Connie, why don't you come here to sweep the grave......"

A bunch of people walked out of the cemetery, and one of them, a tall and handsome man, came over.

"It's the Lu family, and his group of relatives......" Connie whispered in the ear of the girl next to her. Let's hurry up, we don't want to run into them. ”

The girl nodded and did not speak.

"Lu Wenquan. What's wrong? ”

Connie said angrily, but she didn't expect to be blocked by this guy

"Who are you going to sweep the grave for, this is?"

"What about Uncle Qiao Mu...... "Do you want me to accompany you, this person next to you is, why don't you introduce it?" Lu Wenquan recommended himself, and Yang Connie was one of the most popular princesses among their sons.

"No, I've got my sister with me......" Connie hugged the girl next to her by the arm.

Lu Wenquan took a closer look at the girl next to him, but his heart was pounding, he took a step forward, and said apologetically, "Look at my eyes, it turns out that Sister Siyin, when did you return to the capital?" Gusu should be okay over there? I've heard that there's a lot of trouble......"

"Lu Wenquan, what do you mean? Which pot is not mentioned? Deliberately blocked, right? Connie crossed her waist and raged.

Lu Wenquan can be said to be a somewhat famous figure in the party-state office, but in the face of Connie, there is no way at all, his face is red like a pig's liver, he has no malicious intentions, he just wants to be able to talk more about the "goddess" in his mind, a little common topic, I didn't expect Connie to talk like this, but it seems that he has "bad intentions"......

Lu Wenquan sighed, don't look at him now, he is not bad, but compared to the cold woman in front of him, he is actually nothing, at this age, he is already "rich in resume and experience", and some people even say that maybe she can really hit the core position of the top and break the past record......

Take this fundraising case as an example, although he knows a lot of insiders, but how many insiders he knows, it is just a "play", and he doesn't even have the right to participate, but Yang Siyin can be said to be one of the core participants.

I heard that the high-level is still in the game, and now the atmosphere in the capital is very strange, and the fire of the fund-raising case is getting more and more prosperous, Lu Wenquan even doubted that Yang Siyin returned to the capital for the New Year, whether he wanted to discuss with the old lady of the Yang family who had lived a fine life how to "grab more high-level interests" in this turmoil......

But from any point of view, everyone has already got the ticket to Game of Thrones, but he hasn't even touched the door, this is the gap......

Thinking of this, Lu Wenquan felt inferior and self-pity again.

Yang Siyin and Yang Connie didn't pay attention to what he thought and left lightly......

"Wenquan, who are the two you were talking to just now?" Father walked over, Lu Wenquan took his thoughts back and scratched his head, "It's the two young ladies of the Yang family......"

"Yang Siyin and Yang Connie?" Father Lu's eyes lit up.

"Exactly."

"Alas, Wenquan, it's also very good if you marry Connie, the Yang family is still a big tree with deep roots, although it can't be seen on the surface, but the actual influence is not small......" Lu's father sighed and said, and then smiled again, "But the girl of the Dai family is not bad, you have to hurry up, don't let her run away." ”

"Connie is already engaged, where is my turn, before the engagement, the queue to chase that Nizi can be very long." Lu Wenquan shook his head.

"Why are the two of them coming, this formation is not quite right." Lu Mu was a little puzzled.

Father Lu said slowly, "Most of them came to worship Yang Qiaomu, Yang Qiaomu had a good relationship with their parents in these two rooms before his death, and the other rooms are said to rarely come." Of course, it's just a rumor, I don't know if that's really the case. ”

"It's really snobbish enough, when Yang Qiaomu was in full swing, who didn't stammer, the relationship between the house and the house was so good, it can only be said that people go to tea and cool, Yang Qiaomu's house is completely gone...... "Lu's mother is from a small family, and she can't see this kind of house fighting with a wealthy lord."

"Yang Qiaomu's death has had too much impact on the Yang family, and now they have a lot of problems in this system, the old lady sent black-headed people with white heads, and the successor who was painstakingly cultivated died like this, and his will has been a little depressed. If Yang Qiaomu was still here, the Yang family would not be like ......this today," Father Lu waved his hand, "That's it, that's it, it's all a family affair, it has nothing to do with us, let's chew our tongue in private......"

said that Yang Siyin and Yang Connie walked to the tomb, but found that there were two bundles of flowers on the tombstone, Yang Connie was stunned, "Why has someone already come?" Who is this, I guess I haven't been gone for a long time......"

"Could it be him?" A name suddenly popped into Yang Siyin's mind.

Brothers and sisters, Christmas Eve is peaceful! (To be continued......)
