"Sima's children were detained, and they were sentenced to seven days of detention." The director of the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau looked at Ding Jinsong, secretary of the Party Committee of the Public Security Bureau, with an embarrassed expression and reported the content to him.

Ding Jinsong's face was stunned at first, and then a trace of anger appeared on his face. Everyone has heard that Ding Jinsong and Sima Ping are old comrades-in-arms, and no one dares not to catch this bastard who rushed into the guards of the residential area of the central organ, but when it is time to say a word, he can't help but say it. Governor Wei Zedu and a number of central leading cadres lived in the residential area of the central organs, and the Central Guard Corps was in charge of the security work. For many years, no one dared to go wild against the Central Guard Regiment, and now there is finally a challenger. The "young" Nanjing Public Security Bureau, who is in his forties, may not really want to see Ding Jinsong's jokes, but he also wants to see how this revolutionary hero who is about to retire reacts.

For such a stupid question, Ding Jinsong said angrily to the director of the public security bureau: "If you collide with the guard regiment, you deserve to be shot." Put this bastard boy in a private room and let him sit in confinement, think about it. These bastards are so daring! It's big enough! You remember, how to catch this kind of person, how to close, how to close! There are rules, don't ask me! ”

was angrily shouted by his boss and seniors, and the director of the public security bureau immediately bowed his head to show obedience. In fact, without the angry shouting of his boss, the director of the public security bureau would not have been particularly open to the arrested Sima Jiwang. It's one thing to communicate with your boss, but it's another thing to really let the public security chief not follow the rules. Boss Ding Jinsong and Sima Ping are old comrades-in-arms, and the director of the public security bureau has no personal relationship with Sima Ping, so what he needs to pay attention to is only Ding Jinsong's attitude alone.

After waiting for the director of the public security bureau to go out, Ding Jinsong was still angry, and after thinking about it, he wrote a telegram and ordered someone to send it to Sima Ping, secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee.

This kind of news spread quickly, after all, it was a matter related to the governor, and it was natural that the attention was relatively high. Levi's, the soon-to-be retired Premier of the State Council, also heard the news, and the person who reported the matter to him was Gu Letian, director of the Coal Administration of the Ministry of Energy.

"Oh? Why are the children of the Sima family so reckless? It's too bold. The first thing Levi thought of when he heard this was his own son. There are many children of high-ranking officials in the capital, if they say that these people are as docile as sheep, the people who say this are either blind or liars. But even this group of young people did not dare to do such a stupid thing. Rammed the Central Guard Regiment, which had the right to shoot. As long as the collision behavior is undoubted, if you are really killed, you will be killed, and there will be no place to go to find someone to reason. It's good that the guard regiment doesn't reason with your parents.

Sima Ping was a member of the Levi faction among the leading cadres at the provincial level, and the number of industries in Shanxi was small, mainly the coal industry. After the completion of several railways through the mountains and mountains, a large amount of high-quality coal was supplied to the vast area north of the Yellow River, which is a major energy province. Although Shanxi's coal can't be sold south of the Huai River, and coal mines from the South China Sea supply coal to coastal cities by sea, Levi's can't help but pay attention to it since he is a member of his own family.

"Send him a telegram. It's not appropriate not to talk about this matter to Sima. Levi had no choice but to do that, "Does the governor have anything to say?" Levi paid attention to Weese's attitude.

"The Governor didn't mention it at all, but the Governor should have known." Gu Lotian replied. In such an era of mass retirement, seemingly small things are not necessarily simple. If the governor called Sima Ping to Nanjing for a training, Sima Ping's next fate would probably be to honestly admit his mistakes, and even take the initiative to retire, at least everyone thinks that things will develop like this. However, Gu Lotian doesn't want to see such a development, a person from his own faction retires, and the person who takes over this person's position may not be someone from his own faction, so it is better not to move when he can.

"If the governor doesn't speak, let's not say anything." Levi didn't think about it so much, he was about to retire, and many things had to be handed over to the next prime minister, Wang Haiyang. Wang Haiyang has served as the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Commerce, and Levi's is also satisfied with the succession of this kind of person from the industrial and commercial circles. Once the position of prime minister falls into the hands of the military, it means that the military, which has been fighting with Levi for so long, has the upper hand, which is the only situation that Levi cannot accept.

Levi thought so, Ruan Xihao's thoughts were basically opposed, and when he sat down with a few bigwigs to drink tea, Ruan Xihao sneered and said, "The kid of the Sima family is so daring." ”

All the guards will have a recognizable sign at the door that reads "Guards are sacrosanct". As a member of the system, as the defenders of the system, the guards are a solid shield to ensure the survival of the system.

After scolding the boy of the Sima family, Ruan Xihao expressed his dissatisfaction with the guard regiment again, "Let people make trouble at the door, what does the guard regiment think?" Just caught it like that, but it can't be done? ”

Some words don't need to be said so clearly, after Ruan Xihao made a statement, one of the people who drank tea together said with a smile: "I'll let Xiushan talk to the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee." ”

"Humph!" Ruan Xihao snorted but did not show any attitude.

Not expressing a position is also an attitude, and this kind of thing is very easy for the upper echelons to understand. So at the regular meeting of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee the next day, Governor Wei Xiushan said to the comrades: "Comrades, I heard about something. Comrade Sima Ping's second son, Sima Ji, was arrested in Nanjing for ramming the Central Guard Regiment. ”

Sima Ping never expected to hear such a news suddenly, not only Sima Ping, but also a number of cadres of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee were stunned. Some people are surprised, while others have some emotions in their eyes that need to be suppressed. The contradictions between Wei Xiushan and Sima Ping have been around for a long time, because they belong to different camps, these contradictions naturally exist, and they have caused internal confrontation in Shanxi.

Although he is also surnamed Wei, the relationship between Wei Xiushan and Wei Ze is probably the relationship between Yang Xiuqing and Yang Fuqing of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, both surnamed Yang, nothing more. Wei Ze is Guangxi Weishi, and Wei Xiushan is Anhui Weishi. Although some people looked up to Wei Xiushan because of this relatively rare surname, Sima Ping, who was attacked by Wei Xiushan, determined from twenty years ago that there was no blood relationship between Wei Xiushan and Wei Ze. He sneered, "Humph! Comrade Wei Xiushan's news is very well-informed! ”

Since Wei Xiushan dared to provoke this dispute, he was not afraid of things. Anyway, at this age, everyone will retire at most. Shanxi's economic situation is not good, but it is not bad. The development of the coal industry has made the Shanxi government's financial situation quite good. Shanxi Lao Qian can gather wealth, even if he is not from Shanxi, it is inevitable to follow the customs of the villagers when he arrives in Shanxi. With stable fiscal revenues under control and the government having little interest or impulse to expand investment, Shanxi will be able to move forward steadily little by little. Therefore, if there is no big incident, such a small matter can naturally be "freely spoken"!

Sima Ping did not fight back immediately, he received a telegram before the meeting, limited to the length of the telegram draft, Sima Ping only knew that his second son had stabbed the basket. As for how big the basket was, the telegram didn't say anything. Since they didn't say it, it can also be understood that the current situation is far from the level where special warning is needed. Of course, the responsibility of teaching children without a party cannot be escaped. Including his old comrade-in-arms Ding Jinsong also said so.

"What the hell is going on?" Lu Liangshan, head of the Organization Department, asked. As soon as I saw this name, I knew that he was born in Shanxi, and since he was born in Shanxi, his qualifications must be very shallow. can be mixed with the head of the organization department, Lu Liangshan is only in his early forties this year. Like a group of young cadres in their early forties, they are sitting on the sidelines and will soon have the opportunity to sit on the sidelines and look at the other. The retirement system has swept away the old-timers in front of young cadres, so young cadres also dare to speak out on some issues.

Drunk, causing trouble at the gate of the central residential compound, pushing and shoving the members of the guard regiment who came to stop them, were subdued, and handed over to the public security organs. It's easy to explain this series. The people who heard the news frowned slightly, this Sima Ji did go too far, and he dared to make trouble at the gate of the compound where the governor lived. It was not only the governor's family who lived in that compound, but most of the state-level cadres lived in it. Don't look at Sima Ji's background in Shanxi, but his father Sima Ping is not a great official when he arrives at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Nanjing. As for causing trouble at the door of the founding bigwigs, he didn't dare to borrow Sima Ping's two guts. As for Sima Jimo...... in front of those big guys, I'm afraid that they can't even count as praying mantis in the way.

But after all, this is a family matter, and Sima did not come to work in the government after graduating from university, but went to work in the Shanxi Energy Department. Everyone didn't know why Sima Ji went to Nanjing on weekdays. The others' gazes first stayed on Sima Ping's face for a moment, and then fell on the face of the director of the Shanxi Energy Department.

Seeing that something was wrong, the director of the Department of Energy first glanced at Sima Ping, and then said: "Comrade Sima Ji is going to the south to see if he can sell the coal mine to the south of the Huai River. As you know, these areas have a lot of industry and are relatively wealthy. If Shanxi coal mines can be sold there, they will definitely increase their income. Sima Ji went to school in Nanjing and is familiar with Nanjing. We sent him. ”

That's a good explanation, and if that's all it takes, things will settle down. Unexpectedly, Wei Xiushan sneered, "I heard that Comrade Sima Ji's breaking through the checkpoint is not only in Nanjing, but has also happened many times in Shanxi. There have also been cases where the guards of the provincial party committee were bumped and pushed by Comrade Sima Ji, and it seems that they were beaten several times. ”

When such a revelation was thrown out, many comrades of the provincial party committee frowned. Judging from the common practice in Nanjing, Sima Ji, a young comrade, has a rather arrogant style. But in Shanxi, the evaluation is slightly different. The conservative customs of the region have finally eliminated public discourse against women not being able to sit in the table over the years.

You must know that when the government was first established 20 years ago, there were still cadres from local backgrounds who dared to openly think that "women cannot sit in office". How could the Liberation Army agree with this "strange theory". This army, which has had women soldiers since its establishment, has only talked about equality between men and women. With the development of social productivity, the status of women has risen with the level of productivity. The women who were able to live independently broke through the local tradition and finally reversed the problem that the central government had taken very seriously.

However, after all, the central government is the central government, and it is impossible to manage everything. Some landmark events can also be promoted with special attention, but the central government does not have the energy or time to take care of many things. This hierarchy, for example, is characteristic of Shanxi. It is a general consensus that you naturally have privileges when you are in a position. The son of the secretary of the provincial party committee is more noble than the guards of the provincial party committee, and it is not surprising that he does something that others dare not do.

Wei Xiushan put the topic out of the way, and all the members of the provincial party committee knew that something was wrong. This issue does not involve the son of the provincial party secretary, but this issue is like the equal rights won for women in Shanxi Province after a long struggle, and it is necessary to draw a standard of correctness and disapproval.

Sima Ping's face darkened. Like all local officials, Sima Ping was not from Shanxi, but from the south of the Huai River. Only a very small number of the founders in the entire central government were born north of the Yellow River. Those people, without exception, defected to the Liberation Army during Wei Ze's Northern Expedition. Most of these very few people are in the army, and the number of people in politics is very small. A negligible number of politicians were sent to work in Henan, Hebei, and Shandong, and a group of southerners talked about the rules of the south in Shanxi, although there was an inexplicable sense of comical, but it was full of political seriousness and even sinisterness.

"What do you mean by that?" Sima Ping simply went straight to the point. The contradiction between the secretary of the provincial party committee and the provincial governor has been going on for a long time, and everyone has taken opposing positions on many issues. The situation in which the military faction and the State Council faction cannot urinate each other in the same pot has reached the point of antagonism after a long period of fermentation in Shanxi. Therefore, it is better to say it directly, at least let Sima Ping, who is in a disadvantageous position, know what the enemy wants to do.

"I think it's not for nothing that Comrade Sima Ji can do this in Nanjing. He is like this in Shanxi, in Nanjing, but it is just the germination of the old state in Shanxi. It's just that no one in Shanxi dared to provoke Comrade Sima Ji, and everyone let him. And no one in Nanjing will let Comrade Sima Ji go. Wei Xiushan has an advantage, so his tone is calm and unhurried, and his choice of words is even a little elegant. However, the content of such a statement frightened those cadres who did not have a strong desire to participate in the dispute.

"What my son did in Nanjing, I will naturally ask the governor for his guilt. Wei Xiushan, it's boring for you to say that, right? While Sima Ping was cutting, he didn't forget to press back on Wei Xiushan.

However, after receiving Ruan Xihao's telegram, Wei Xiushan was very well prepared. These preparations were not improvised, preparations for his attack began several years ago. Now it's just an excuse to find it, so he won't show weakness even more.

"Secretary Sima. When you say this, it's the same as if Nanjing is the governor's family. When did the Governor say that he was in charge of everything in Nanjing? Do you think this is the division of territory by the underworld? Grasping the problem in Sima Ping's words, Wei Xiushan chased and beat him fiercely, "Comrade Sima Ji broke the law in Nanjing, so naturally Nanjing's public procuratorate will deal with him." This is a matter of the law, and naturally there is a law to govern it. The Governor never interfered with the law. I think Comrade Sima Ping's attitude is to smear the governor. ”

There are several well-established taboos among the brothers, one of which is not to disgrace the governor. Everyone was a follower of the governor, and they all swore allegiance to the governor. After having such an oath, he smeared the governor, which was something that the old brothers could not tolerate. Of course, what is more serious than dishonoring the governor is the blatant smear of the governor. Not to mention whether this is feudal or not, deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors is an extremely serious matter from the perspective of the Chinese. The smear of the Governor falls into this category.

When Wei Xiushan said this, Sima Ping's hands trembled. He stood up and pointed at Sima Ping and shouted: "Sima Ping, you dog thing actually framed me for smearing the governor!" ”

"Your son broke the law in Nanjing, and you have to apologize to the governor. Did I say that? Moreover, your son has committed an accident in Nanjing, and you must apologize to the governor. Then why did your son do the same thing in Shanxi, why did he never see you apologize to anyone? Wei Xiushan is still calm.

Without waiting for Sima Ping to come up with words to deal with it, Wei Xiushan turned his head and asked the director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection a question, "Director Linghu, the public servant was arrested for breaking the law." What should be done about this situation? ”

Linghu is a wealthy family in Shanxi, and in the era of Guanlong Group, Dugu and Linghu are both surnames. It's not that they are numerous, it's that they are honored. Ling Huguangdeng, a cadre of the Commission for Discipline Inspection from Shanxi, was stopped by these words. Among the two major factions in Shanxi, most of the cadres from Shanxi support Sima Ping, the secretary of the provincial party committee. Most of the newly promoted cadres who have taken the civil service examination and become cadres support Governor Wei Xiushan. Ling Huguang is considered to be a member of Sima Ping's family, but when he was asked by the governor, Ling Huguang, who was in charge of discipline, was extremely uncomfortable being stuck in the middle.

When he hesitated and didn't dare to speak, Ling Huguang looked at Sima Ping. And Wei Xiushan calmly continued to ask: "Secretary Linghu, you are the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, don't you even know this regulation?" ”

Ling Huguang had no choice but to whisper: "According to the regulations, it should be ...... Should be suspended first. ”

Seeing that Ling Huguang was forced to say such a thing, Wei Xiushan said to Sima Ping in a relaxed tone: "It's a suspension." So since this matter involves Secretary Sima, I think we should make it clear publicly at the provincial party committee meeting, and Secretary Sima of the province feels that someone is doing things behind his back. Moreover, if we comrades do not make it clear to Secretary Sima, the comrades responsible for the specific implementation will also feel very embarrassed. Secretary Sima, do you say? ”

Ling Huguang was forced to such a point by Wei Xiushan, and he also felt quite a failure. In order to get some face back, Ling Huguang hurriedly said: "But there must be evidence for this." What if this is just a rumor? ”

After hearing this, Sima Ping only wanted to beat Ling Huguang in his heart, not because Ling Huguang was forced to say the punishment regulations that annoyed Sima Ping, but because Ling Huguang's reaction was too outrageous. Proof? Could it be that Ling Huguang thinks that Wei Xiushan is a fool? How could Wei Xiushan do this after he didn't get the real evidence! If Ling Huguang didn't say the evidence, this matter would be such an impact. If you want evidence, then immediately trap Sima Ping in great passivity.

At the provincial party committee meeting, the official evidence of Sima Ping's son Sima Ji's violation of law and discipline was read out in public, is this because Sima Ping's face was not ruthless enough?

But Wei Xiushan was so keen, as soon as Linghuguang's words came out, Wei Xiushan immediately said: "Then so be it." When the Nanjing document arrived, we read it out publicly at the meeting. If I make a mistake, I will naturally apologize to Comrade Sima Ping and resign from the provincial party committee. ”
