When Hua Zhengyang came to the Golden Autumn Pavilion, there was already a hazy glimmer of light on the horizon.He carried a double breakfast, shook off the snowflakes on his body, and laughed heartily: "President, do you want to taste the steamed buns that have just come out of the pot?"
”Li Huacheng nodded with a smile, put down the internal reference document in his hand, and got up and came to the restaurant.Hua Zhengyang hurriedly poured some vinegar, and began to take the bowl into soup again, and his movements were natural.Li Huacheng smiled and looked at Hua Zhengyang busy, and asked, "In a good mood?"
”"I love snow."
Hua Zhengyang said with a smile: "Every time it snows, it reminds me of my hometown, I haven't been back for many years, some time ago, someone from my hometown came to see me, and sent me two mountain ginseng, I brewed two bottles of wine, and I went back to bring you a bottle." ”Li Huacheng nodded, picked up the bun and took a bite.It is different from that between Chen Fangqing and Guo Wentian of the Prince Group.It is also different from Wan Qingyun and Ji of the Southeast Group.The relationship between Li Huacheng and Hua Zhengyang is even different from Zou Mulin, the invincible Dongcheng of the Duhao Group.In front of Li Huacheng, Zhuang Huayang's seemingly free-flowing attitude always carries a very clear touch of respect and respect, including strong gratitude, admiration, awe and closeness.The giants of other groups may have high and low positions with each other, but their attitudes towards each other are basically equal, only Hua Zhengyang is like a subordinate in front of Li Huacheng.In fact, the political careers of the two are basically very clear between superiors and subordinates.When Li Huacheng served as the governor of Liaodong, Hua Zhengyang was the executive deputy governor, when Li Huacheng served as the speaker of the Liaodong parliament, Hua Zhengyang was the vice speaker, after entering Youzhou, Li Huacheng was the vice president, Hua Zhengyang was dropped to the ministry as the second-in-command, five years later, Li Huacheng successfully reached the top, Hua Zhengyang entered the parliament and became the minister of Zhongzhou, Li Huacheng was re-elected for the second time, Hua Zhengyang entered the cabinet and became the second minister, until now.The academic faction is the youngest group in Central Continent except for the special operations group, and unlike the special operations group, which has a congenitally defective structure, their structure is extremely rigorous and complete, and they have grown from a large regional group to a ruling group that now affects the entire Central Continent, and any word can be used on Li Huacheng without reservation, and it is not an exaggeration at all.The contribution is indispensable, the merit is great, and the talent is strategic.Li Huacheng fully deserves such an evaluation.The development trajectory of the academic school is almost the rise of Li Huacheng, and the entire academic school is almost carried on his shoulders by himself and continues to grow.His philosophy influenced everyone in the academy, which also made the entire academy the most dynamic and energetic group among the six major groups.Full of life.However, the short rise time also means that the academy is deficient in all aspects, such as not having a close enough relationship with many retired but influential old people, which is a huge disadvantage that the academy has not reversed so far, and for example, there is not enough talent reserve in too short a short time, let alone a perfect promotion framework, which the academy has also not been thoroughly perfected.At the beginning, the academic faction transferred Bai Qingqian, who was born in the wealthy group, to his own back garden Liaodong as the speaker, which was a step for Li Huacheng to improve the promotion framework of the academy, Bai Qingqian's ability is outstanding, and the connections are not to say, the strength of the wealthy group does not need to be doubted, the two groups can cooperate at the beginning, the academic faction wants to use Bai Qingqian to get the support of the wealthy group, in their original plan, this election is to push Bai Qingqian to the position of the Zhongzhou parliamentarian, and be promoted in Liaodong Province, And in the next few years of efforts, this concept was stabilized, so that Liaodong gained a political status similar to that of Wuyue, Nanyue, Northern Xinjiang, or Huating, North, Southwest, and Youzhou.To put it simply, it is to make it a practice for the speaker of Liaodong to enter the parliament, so as to thoroughly improve his own promotion framework.This is a goal that any group must strive to improve.The so-called promotion framework, to put it bluntly, is a stable promotion path within a group, from an ordinary clerk to a member of the Middle Continent, which also ensures that in every general election, the group will have at least one seat in his own hands, and his position is completely in the hands of the group, that is, the internal decision, and other groups cannot make a move.Only by establishing this position can the group ensure that the people in this position can be pushed up in the event of a major crisis, and then ensure that the voice of the group in the top class of Middle-earth is heard by others.And such a position, among the six major groups, only the academic school does not currently have.The Southwest City in the hands of the Prince Group is a councillor and cannot be interfered with by other groups.In addition to the southwest, the Prince Group also owns the northern frontier.The Southeast Group was even more excessive, holding Beihai, Huating and Wu Yue, the number one leader of these three places will inevitably be a parliamentarian, Wu Yue has fallen more than ten years ago, and Wu Yue is now controlled by Wang Qinglei, even so, Beihai still has Beihai Province as the top level of his promotion framework.The declining Northern Group also has the Northern City in its hands.The wealthy group has Youzhou in its hands, as well as several fixed positions in the military department.Even if it is a new group, it has already locked in Nanyue.Only the academic school has hit a wall in this regard in recent years.The major groups are quietly squeezing the development space of the academic school.Li Huacheng's initial goal was to be in harmony with the prince's group and the northern Xinjiang province.But Jiangshan's mind is deep and unfathomable, and he has never expressed his position positively, and after a few years, the academic school has set its sights on Tibet, but the situation in Tibet is complicated, and it is also difficult to serve as the back garden of the academic school for a long time.Five years ago, Bai Qingqian was transferred to Liaodong, and then the parliament came out.
If it weren't for the sudden rise of the new group, Bai Qingqian would probably be elected as a member of the Central Continent in Liaodong in this election, and the promotion framework of the academic faction would also take shape, and it would be stabilized in the future.But Li Tianlan and the East Imperial Palace broke the plan of the academy, and Li Huacheng's plan was undoubtedly bankrupt again, but fortunately, he will continue to be re-elected after this election, and there are still five years to operate, otherwise once he retires, although Hua Zhengyang is still in power, but with his own strength, it is really difficult to come up with a good way in five years, and the future of the academy at that time is really a little worrying.All kinds of disadvantages make the academic school this emerging group always give people the impression that although it is very powerful, it has always been weak, until now, their structure is not perfect, you can imagine how difficult it was when Li Huacheng first rose.Under such circumstances, Hua Zhengyang can almost be said to have been dragged by Li Huachengsheng all the way to be promoted exceptionally.For Hua Zhengyang himself, Li Huacheng has an incomparable status in his heart, like a brother, like a mentor, a leader, and even a father-like role.Although the age difference between the two is less than ten years.From Liaodong at the beginning to Yinlonghai today, no matter where Hua Zhengyang is, he regards Li Huacheng as the most respectable leader and always respects him."
The Prime Minister spoke to me last night about his thoughts."
Li Huacheng ate the bun and said slowly: "For him, the situation is out of control at present, and he is ready to accept the current situation." ”Hua Zhengyang glanced at Li Huacheng in surprise.Accept the situation?
He and Li Tianlan are not familiar with each other, but now the whole world knows Li Tianlan's character, how sensitive the election in Zhongzhou is, and how crucial the emergence of a new group is, and now this has become the focus of close attention of all countries around the world.Under such circumstances, Chen Fangqing is ready to accept this situation, which means that he accepts death, not just his death.Li Huacheng saw Hua Zhengyang's surprised gaze, and he was also a little surprised: "You don't know?
”Hua Zhengyang shook his head a little confused, and said with a smile: "Although the prime minister has not many opportunities now, there is always room for struggle, and the worst should be able to talk about the conditions, judging from his past style, he should not give up so easily." ”"Give up simply..."
Li Huacheng muttered to himself, and then shook his head: "It's not simple, it's not simple at all." ”He was holding the bun, and he didn't know what to eat.From a personal point of view, Chen Fangqing does have the possibility of struggling, but from the overall situation, accepting this ending is the most stable way, and Chen Fangqing's abandonment is not simple, not at all.He thought silently, and suddenly asked, "Didn't he tell you about his plans last night?"
He and Guo Wentian have reached a consensus, the Prince Group has decided to fully support you in taking control of the cabinet, what did you talk about last night?
”Hua Zhengyang's hand holding the soy milk suddenly stiffened in place.His expression froze for a moment.It was as if my mind had suddenly gone back to hours ago.At that time, he practiced calligraphy in his office.And Chen Fangqing stood outside, wanting to meet him.How did you get your secretary to respond?
A clear embarrassment appeared on Hua Zhengyang's face, and he finally realized that something was wrong."
How?"
Li Huacheng looked at him and asked.He received the news that Chen Fangqing went to see Hua Zhengyang last night, but Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai were still there at that time, and Li Huacheng didn't care about the conversation over there, so he subconsciously ignored this issue."
Didn't he look for you last night?
What did you talk about?
”Li Huacheng asked again."
I..."
Hua Zhengyang opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't see him last night." ”Silent.Li Huacheng's whole person was completely silent.He looked at Hua Zhengyang and didn't speak for a long time.He knew very well who Hua Zhengyang was, so he didn't need to ask the reason at all to know why Hua Zhengyang didn't see him.Chen Fangqing didn't appear in Yinlonghai until the morning, which means that after not seeing Hua Zhengyang, Chen Fangqing went to find someone else.Who to look for?
Who else can I look for?
The cabinet is now the top structure is a structure of one positive and three deputies, after this election, Chen Fangqing will not stay, two of the three deputy ministers will also retire, Hua Zhengyang did not see Chen Fangqing, so Chen Fangqing is only one left.Vice Minister Wu Zhengmin.Li Huacheng put down the bun in his hand and said softly: "He went to Comrade Zhengmin last night?"
”Hua Zhengyang also thought of this problem.His face changed, and he was a little ugly."
Zhengyang, confused."
Li Huacheng shook his head with some disappointment: "No matter what, between you and him, there will always be a boundary, but why bother..." ”Hua Zhengyang became more and more embarrassed and did not speak.After being silent for a while, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he said softly: "President, he went to find Vice Minister Wu Zhengmin, isn't it...""
You."
Li Huacheng shook his head slightly: "Don't worry about this, he is a little old, in this election, the last prime minister is already the support of the new group, so it will not threaten you, and the prime minister will not choose to support him instead, and he does not have that position."
However, I think that since they met, there must be some meaning in this meeting. ”"I wasn't worried about Vice Minister Wu in the first place."
Hua Zhengyang said with a wry smile.Li Huacheng's expression was still calm, and he said quietly: "If he chooses to support Wen Siyuan, then he should go to Wang Qingyun and Ji Wenwen, or go to Ye Dongsheng, and he shouldn't go to Wu Zhengmin." ”Hua Zhengyang thought about it, and his face softened a little.He took a sip of soy milk, hesitated, and said softly, "Do you want to visit me now?"
”Li Huacheng glanced at him and nodded: "You always have to go, but now..." he shook his head: "He should have rested, in the afternoon, you go over to take a look, you don't need to explain anything, just go over." ”Hua Zhengyang was slightly relieved, smiled and nodded.In the blue and white hall that the two had never seen, Chen Fangqing did not rest, but he never worked.Instead of returning to his office, he entered the backyard of the Blue and White Hall and sat down on his bed.He just sat there, silent, his eyes open, staring through the open curtains at the dim light that was gradually shining outside the window.He began to look back on his seventy-one years of life.He was born in a family that was not very prominent, a northerner, but he grew up in the south, when he was just born, his father was the deputy director of a small county town in the south, deputy section level, not big, but he still had some power in his hands.Therefore, Chen Fangqing's childhood was very stable, there was no displacement, no bitterness, and no bullying.When he was a teenager, his father, who was very ambitious but also did his best to maintain the family, became the director of that small county, and the level was changed from deputy department to deputy department, Chen Fangqing walked out of the county and was admitted to the best middle school in their city with his own results.At that time and age, a deputy county-level father was obviously not too worthy of showing off in the hearts of young people who had little to do, Chen Fangqing did not show off, and he did not seem to have rebelled, he still feels that he is most fortunate that he met several of the best and most understanding teachers in junior high school, so that he has always maintained excellent grades far ahead of others for three years in middle school.When he was in high school, Chen Fangqing's father was transferred from the county to the city as deputy mayor, and he reluctantly became a city-level director, which looked like a promotion, but in fact it was the result of compromise after losing the competition.Chen Fangqing was admitted to their provincial key high school and left the city.My father and mother took out all the family's savings to buy a house in that outrageous city where housing prices were high because of education, and my mother also moved there to take care of his studies and growth.My father's career didn't make any progress in high school.The year he graduated from high school, he was admitted to one of the best universities in Middle-earth at the time, with excellent grades.His father was already in a semi-retired state because of severe liver disease, and the father in his memory was full of wind and frost, gray sideburns, and spent most of his life crawling on the road, Chen Fangqing didn't seem to have seen him when he was in high spirits, all he saw was his father's increasingly haggard body and rickety body.Chen Fangqing was nineteen years old that year.On the day he got the university admission letter, Chen Fangqing swore in his heart that after graduation, he would buy a house for his parents in Beihai, so that they could live in the best environment.He applied for Zhongzhou Beihai University.Yes, Beihai University.Beihai Wang, Beihai of Beihai Province.Perhaps influenced by his father, Chen Fangqing decided his future path since he was in high school, and he wanted to follow his father's path, go to a high position, and use his thoughts to change many people and many things.So he chose Beihai University.This is one of the best universities in Zhongzhou, perhaps not as popular as Huaqing University and Youzhou University, in the international rankings, Youzhou University is slightly higher than Beihai University, but in the field of politics, even in the entire Zhongzhou, there is no university that can be out of Beihai University, Beihai University's philosophy focuses on ideology, pays attention to humanities and politics, in the more than 500 years since the founding of Zhongzhou, from Beihai University has walked out of three Zhongzhou presidents, eleven Zhongzhou prime ministers, more than 20 Zhongzhou ministers and hundreds of Zhongzhou parliamentarians.This is a prominent university, a university that influences the political trend of the entire Central Continent, known as the Oxford of the East, and now the Central Continent Council Dongcheng Invincible, Hua Zhengyang, Wan Qingyun, and Bai Qingqian, who soon became a member of parliament, are all graduates of Beihai University.Many years ago, it used to be Chen Fangqing's dream school.He entered Beihai as he wished, and completed the Beihai civil service examination with great success.The civil servants in Beihai have the best welfare in the world, and every public servant will be allocated a house of at least 80 square meters in Beihai.But Chen Fangqing finally chose to return to his hometown.His parents rejected Chen Fangqing's request to settle in Beihai.In his father's words, Beihai is good, but the family is even better.That was the first time he had rubbed shoulders with the North Sea.He entered the city government on the recommendation of his father, served as a secretary, took a temporary post in the county seat, went to the provincial capital, and then was transferred to Qinzhou, where he met Wu Zhengmin.Chen Fangqing was thirty years old that year.At the age of thirty-two, his father died of illness.Three years later, he was personally received by Li Honghe and sent an invitation.He received invitations from the Haomen Group, the Prince Group and the Southeast Group.Faced with the city he presided over, he made a choice that he still didn't know if he should regret or not.That was the second time he had passed by Beihai.And then it's a step forward.Provincial Council of Qinzhou.Provincial Councillor and Vice Chairman.Governor of Tianfu Province.Mayor of Southwest City.Councilor of the Central Continent, Chair of the Southwest City Council.Middle-earth sub-phase.Prime Minister of Middle-earth.Singing all the way.But he still didn't feel that spirited.Others watched him do his best all the way, but his own feeling was just cautious.He carefully used his power and resources to plan his hometown, the city he presided, the province he controlled, and the country he represented.Be cautious and walk on thin ice.Seventy-one years of life have come to this day.The scenes flickered in front of his eyes very clearly.Chen Fangqing sat on the bed in a daze, looking at the sky without the morning sun outside the window.The snowflakes fluttered in the sky with the cold, messy, beautiful, and quiet.Like every day for many, many years.He asked about his yesterday.Then asked about his whole life.First question.He consciously had a clear conscience.The second question, he could not answer.His heart may be extremely calm, but it is just as he said to Wu Zhengmin.The merits and demerits can only be commented on by future generations.Chen Fangqing stood up slowly, closed the curtains, and covered up the wind and snow flying outside the window.He took a casual shower, changed out of his pajamas, and slowly lay down on the bed, closing his eyes.The headache has been relieved and there is no need to toss and turn.Soon, Chen Fangqing fell asleep.The world in the dream is a sunset.It was as if Chen Fangqing, who was many years younger, felt that he was standing on the shore of the lake in the Hidden Dragon Sea and looking at the west.The brilliant glow filled the sky and the earth, and the sunset slowly sinking in the cascading sea of clouds seemed to be melting little by little, and the sun's blood was filled in the sea of clouds and the sky, turning into an incomparably magnificent blood red.The blood red quietly took over all vision.Eventually it turned into a pair of eyes.A pair of eyes that occupy the sky in the dream and cover the sea of clouds.A pair of cold and quiet, but incomparably majestic eyes.Those eyes were bright and calm, she looked down on the earth, looked down on the Hidden Dragon Sea, reflecting the magnificent scene of the whole world, beautiful as a dream.Looking at these eyes, Chen Fangqing suddenly became extremely frightened.His consciousness was torn apart by fear, and his complete consciousness was torn apart in an instant.Messy thoughts fluttered wildly in the dream of darkness and light, some warm, even hot.The hot sensation boiled at the highest point of consciousness.It was like a speech without much temperature, slowly sliding and sliding into the unknown.The dream was completely shattered.Darkness took over everything.In the far direction, there are thousands of cliffs and endless abysses.Chen Fangqing suddenly opened his eyes.Everything familiar in the bedroom is not in sight.There was darkness and nothingness in his vision.It seemed that endless darkness and nothingness filled the bedroom, between heaven and earth, quiet, silent.Chen Fangqing quietly opened his eyes.The darkness and nothingness were getting closer and closer to him, like a light veil covering his body, and like endless floating dust finding a home, accumulating more and more on him.The darkness fell completely.Chen Fangqing, who was motionless, looked quietly ahead.The darkness that fell completely surged, and finally drowned his body in a seemingly endless darkness and nothingness.Until eternity.
