No one believed Regulus's words.Just like the forensic doctor has already come to the conclusion that Chen Fangqing died a normal death, no one believes it.Such a death is too coincidental, and this coincidence means great benefits behind it, so even if it is a real natural death, some people try to conspire about it.Xuanyuan Wuxian is a doctor, but he is unknown, there is no authoritative argument at all, his so-called normal death, in the eyes of others, is just Li Tianlan casually pulling a person here to go through the motions, giving a conclusion of a natural death, people don't even believe that Xuanyuan Wuxian is a doctor.This kind of conclusion can't stand scrutiny, and no one will believe it at all, but at least the attitude, Li Tianlan has to show that when the new group is becoming clearer and clearer, and some people are constantly quietly changing their positions under the influence of the Shengshi Fund, Li Tianlan's statement can be said to be unimportant, but it can also be said to be very important.However, on the scene, no one showed suspicion of Xuanyuan Wuxian, not even the people of the Chen family.After all, he is the prime minister of a country, no matter how down, it is not comparable to ordinary people, and most of the people who can get the news now are well-informed people, they can learn about Chen Fangqing's death, and naturally they can see clearly some possible developments after Chen Fangqing's death.At this time, no one wanted to offend Li Tianlan, and naturally no one wanted to offend Chen Fangqing, anyway, it was just a matter of coming over for a trip, and no one was troublesome.On this occasion, other directors of Zhongzhou must show up, but it is not suitable for being watched by people for a long time, so Li Huacheng took the initiative to open his mouth and borrowed a side hall from the Chen family to prepare to hold an interim meeting on the spot.When talking to the Chen family, Li Huacheng's expression and voice were very calm.But Li Tianlan, Dongcheng was invincible, but Zou Mulin and the others all looked at him deeply.A meeting was held at Chen's house.Everyone knows what that means.The Chen family is not far from the Hidden Dragon Sea, under normal circumstances, even if they have a meeting, it should be in the Hidden Dragon Sea, they actually have nothing extra to do here, they have shown up, and there is no need to stay here.Chen Fangqing's death was sudden and special.In nearly 100 years, he was the first trustee to die suddenly before he even retired.Therefore, all the councillors will show up, the parliamentarian-level leaders in Youzhou, and the giants of the military department will rush over, and in the next three days, the parliamentarians from the entire Central Continent will also come to Youzhou, and then wait for Chen Fangqing's funeral.If Chen Fangqing has retired, before the official funeral, the directors will also come, but they will not appear at the same time, or even all of them, let the secretary come over to help maintain order on the scene, and only participate in the farewell ceremony of Chen Fangqing's body at the time of the funeral.So strictly speaking, after the appearance, all the directors have nothing to do, and it is enough to leave two secretaries to assist the Chen family to help, and they can come over at the farewell ceremony of the body three days later.But now Li Huacheng asked for a meeting at Chen's house.Was the meeting so urgent that it was impossible to even get from here to the Hidden Dragon Sea less than twenty kilometers away?
Apparently not.This is a precedent!
Holding this high-level meeting at Chen's house has an incomparably rich meaning, and the most direct meaning is Li Huacheng's dissatisfaction with Li Tianlan.Holding a meeting here not only put great pressure on Li Tianlan and the wealthy group, but also showed his attitude to other groups.Li Tianlan's face was expressionless, and he did not make any remarks from beginning to end.The Chen family specially sorted out a relatively quiet room in the backyard for Chen Fangqing.The room is not very large, so the high-ups look extremely crowded when they walk in.There are still a lot of people here today.Not only the members of the Ninth National Congress, but also the three vice ministers of the cabinet, two state advisers, Bai Zhanfang, the speaker of the Youzhou Assembly, the four three deputy ministers of the military department, Bai Qingqing, the deputy secretary general, and other members of the ministry, the ministry, the joint ministry and other departments were all present.Li Huacheng sat on the main seat and silently looked at everyone present.Li Tianlan sat opposite Li Huacheng expressionlessly, without saying a word, wandering out of the world."
I only met with the prime minister yesterday."
Li Huacheng was silent for about five minutes before he slowly spoke: "We talked until late, last night, he was still discussing the development of Zhongzhou with me, who would have thought today..."
Guo Wentian took out a cigarette and lit one, and said slowly: "We have had a lot of exchanges recently, the prime minister has been under a lot of pressure recently, often has insomnia, his headache is an old problem, and I have talked to the doctor, but the doctor has nothing to do, just prescribed him some painkillers and asked him to pay attention to rest." ”Guo Wentian smiled self-deprecatingly: "Pay attention to rest, as far as I know, in the past few years, the prime minister's schedule has been extremely chaotic, and a lot of things have happened recently, where can he have any rest?"
”There was silence."
The Prime Minister has always been extremely concerned about the affairs of the Cabinet, and the Prime Minister's vision has always been very long-term, and he pays attention to the future of the Cabinet, and at the same time, he often reflects on the past of the Cabinet, combines the past and the present, sums up experience, and explores the way forward.A few days ago, the Prime Minister told me that the future of the Cabinet still needs new ideas, a new atmosphere, and a hundred schools of thought.Many years ago, we supported agriculture, and later, we supported industry, and these right moves have shaped our international position today, but over the years, we have focused on finance and energy, and we have neglected other areas, so we have missed some opportunities.Therefore, the prime minister feels that after the general election, it is necessary to promote some talents from various angles to enrich the breadth of thinking of the cabinet, and he said that every area of the country should not be abandoned. ”A member of the Cabinet spoke suddenly, in a calm tone, unhurried.Li Tianlan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but still didn't speak.He Zhengnan, a cabinet member who has been extremely low-key in recent years, the so-called cabinet member, is theoretically on the same level as the deputy prime minister, but in fact he is a strong figure with huge influence but has not competed for the position of deputy prime minister.He Zhengnan was already in a semi-retired state a few years ago, and he was definitely going to retire after this election, and no one thought that in this incident, he would follow Guo Wentian and rush out to be the vanguard.He Zhengnan felt Li Tianlan's gaze and nodded at him, smiling politely and respectfully.He is the backbone of the Prince Group, but he can never be regarded as one of the core personnel, but Chen Fangqing died suddenly, in today's Youzhou, he is already a more weighty figure that Guo Wentian can pull out, and Guo Wentian also gave him conditions that he could not refuse, originally this time, He Zhengnan did not intend to express his position, the field he was in charge of had a lot of overlap with Wu Zhengmin, in other words, he was in the cabinet to cooperate with Wu Zhengmin, and Wu Zhengmin quickly straightened out the relationship after entering the cabinet.
After learning the methods of this old fox who has carried the flag for the Li family for more than 20 years, He Zhengnan chose to back down, although he is still in office, he basically has little time to appear in the cabinet on weekdays.The situation and rise and fall of the major groups in Middle-earth have nothing to do with him in theory.But his son is now in a critical period.His son is now the mayor of Qindao City, Dongshan Province, Qindao is a city at the level of deputy governor, but the mayor of Qindao, although the gold content of the vice governor level cannot be said to be very low, but it is not too high.Guo Wentian hit his soft underbelly almost as soon as he opened his mouth.If this operation is successful, his son will be transferred to the capital city of Tianfu Province after the general election to serve as the governor of Tianfu Province and the chairman of the capital city, and in this position, if it is operated well, it is very likely that he will become the governor of Tianfu in five years.That's the real core personnel of the Prince Group.With his son's age, there is not much chance of becoming a councilor, and the prince's group does not have such resources, but starting from the position of governor of Tianfu Province, as long as he is not too unlucky, basically his son can also reach his current height, whether he becomes a councilor or a cabinet member, he can ensure that the family will continue to be brilliant.So He Zhengnan did not hesitate.He only thought about it for a few seconds, and then promised Guo Wentian to charge for him at the meeting.The words he said through Chen Fangqing's mouth were very subtle, but the meaning was extremely clear to everyone.Promote talents from all aspects and multiple perspectives.This sentence is the key of the key.This so-called multi-faceted perspective can be understood as focusing on officials with different talents and abilities.But there is no shortage of such different types of officials in all major groups.Even the most vulnerable northern group today is quite a few.So this sentence is equivalent to saying that the cabinet after the general election is a piece of the cake in front of the major groups, and everyone has the opportunity to get a piece.In other words, the next cabinet will no longer have a comparative advantage over one bloc.Rather, each group can have its own voice in different positions.This is in absolute conflict with the future plans of the new group.Oh Jeong-min became the second minister.Bai Qingqian became the deputy prime minister.The goal of the new group is clear and clear, putting all its two leaders in the cabinet, and even sacrificing a lot of possible local interests, the first step of the rise of the new group is to attack the cabinet's right to speak.Now He Zhengnan wants to make the cabinet contend.All the people of the group have entered the cabinet, which means that the position of the new group in the cabinet will be greatly reduced, and the right to speak will also be greatly weakened, and the strategy of the new group will be completely defeated, and even if Wu Zhengmin and Bai Qingqian are pushed up, the new group that only gets a small part of the position and a few provinces will become unstable, and it is not easy to say how the new group will be in the future, but at least it is certain that it will be difficult to start.In this plan, because there are too many voices from all sides, the authority of the deputy prime minister will be weakened to a certain extent, and the main authority will be concentrated in the prime minister, and many contradictions and conflicts need to be mediated by the prime minister who controls the cabinet, which further accelerates the speed at which the new prime minister accumulates prestige in the cabinet.The second step of the plan is to be taken over by the academic faction, who will do their best to push Hua Zhengyang to the position of prime minister, press on the new group, and curb his development speed.The first step of the Prince Group's plan will be fully supported by the Academy.The second step of the academic plan will be fully supported by Prince Group.With tacit understanding, it can be said to be seamless.In order to win more support, to explain in advance the prospect of a hundred schools of thought in the cabinet, it is to woo other groups.The cabinet is the core of the country, and each department under the cabinet means great power, especially in the departments of finance, development, security, commerce, agriculture, and industry.Since He Zhengnan said this on behalf of the Prince Group, it means that this is a promise from the Prince Group and the academic school, such a promise cannot be stingy, after all, the major groups are divided and merged, and what they do is not a hammer deal, if the reputation is bad this time, even if it is Deli in the short term, it will be worth the loss in the long run.Therefore, in order to gain the dominance of the cabinet, the prince group and the academic faction really planned to divide a considerable part of the authority of the cabinet, and when they co-opted other groups, they suppressed the plan of the new group to attack the cabinet, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Personally, I think the Prime Minister's words are justified."
He Zhengnan looked at Li Tianlan, and then shifted his gaze, he was not too afraid of Li Tianlan, Li Tianlan was indeed under a lot of pressure now, but no matter how arrogant he was, he would not kill his whole family because of his two words, which was very clear to everyone present.So he continued, expressing his attitude: "It's just insightful, and I also hope to see a cabinet with diverse thinking, the death of the prime minister is a huge loss for Middle-earth, but his path, we should unswervingly go on, time will prove that he and we are right." ”"So I'm wrong?"
Li Tianlan suddenly asked.His eyes fell on He Zhengnan, his gaze was blazing, not for a moment.In fact, no one mentioned how he was, but Li Tianlan was seated, no one thought he was stupid, he just sat there quietly, but as he spoke, everyone could clearly feel an extremely cold and stiff pressure.He Zhengnan's mouth moved, and just as he wanted to speak, Li Tianlan suddenly said: "Have you really met the prime minister recently?"
”He Zhengnan was stunned.All eyes shifted to him.At this juncture, He Zhengnan couldn't take half a step back no matter what, he nodded stubbornly, and naturally said, "Of course." ”"I don't believe it."
Li Tianlan said lightly: "I don't believe that the prime minister will say this to you as a dispensable cabinet member. ”Of little consequence...
This sentence is an understatement, but listening to He Zhengnan's ears is simply a murderous effect, He Zhengnan's face suddenly turned red, but his anger has not yet exploded, Li Tianlan has already continued to speak: "This matter, I will send someone to investigate, your specific whereabouts in the past few days will soon be investigated, here, today you can say everything you say, even in the name of the prime minister, you can say anything."
But you are all sitting here today, if you have not seen the prime minister, you will be deceiving the whole of Middle-earth, and when the time comes, even if Middle-earth does not move you, I will make you pay. ”He Zhengnan's body stiffened, his snow-white beard trembled, and his face was a little pale."
Your Majesty is really domineering."
Hua Zhengyang said suddenly, with sarcasm.Li Tianlan glanced at him.Whether it is He Zhengnan or the Prince Group, they are important, but they are not absolutely important.Everyone knows that whether the new group can attack the cabinet has a direct and absolute relationship with whether Hua Zhengyang can become the new prime minister.He is the biggest obstacle on the road to the rise of the new group."
I don't want to be deceived, especially in the name of the dead.Everyone knows very well what the prime minister is doing, and no one will deny what he has done.Such a figure should be respected enough, but if someone takes his death for their own benefit, then where to put the prime minister?
Where to place the Cabinet?
”"I will investigate clearly, and I will also make some people pay the price, and in doing so, I am responsible for Zhongzhou."
Li Tianlan's voice was cold and tough.The conversation seemed to be at an impasse.Li Huacheng silently stared at the others in the room, silent.Hua Zhengyang's brows jumped slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't help it.Li Tianlan's words are tantamount to the most naked threat.He threatens more than He Zhengnan.There is also Hua Zhengyang.He Zhengnan spoke in the name of Chen Fangqing.Li Tianlan used Zhongzhou to fight back.Responsible for Zhongzhou.Li Tianlan is already qualified to say this sentence.No one present, including Li Huacheng, dared to say to Li Tianlan that Zhongzhou does not need you to be responsible, no one dared to say it, and no one could afford such a responsibility.Therefore, this extremely tough threat is equivalent to Li Tianlan has forced the academic faction to the brink of turning against him.A complete turnaround?
This is definitely not what Li Huacheng wants to see.In silence, Li Tianlan slowly tapped on the table in front of him.His fingers were rhythmically beating on the table, his other hand was supporting his face, and he leaned over to look at He Zhengnan: "Now, I'm giving you a chance to tell me, have you ever met the prime minister recently?"
”He Zhengnan's body trembled obviously, he wanted to speak, but he lost all his courage for a while.Li Huacheng frowned, and suddenly said, "Okay, we can discuss this matter later."
In this way, we returned to Longhai and held a formal meeting. ”He paused and said quietly: "Huayang, you stay for a while and see what the Chen family still needs."
The prime minister left suddenly, and the next work of the cabinet, you have to temporarily arrest him and let him go at ease. ”Caught for now?
Is this temporary, really temporary, or is it?
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows, revealing a sneer.Li Huacheng, do you want to set the tone directly?
Ji Wenwen and Wan Qingyun raised their heads at the same time, glanced at each other, and wanted to speak.But Li Tianlan was already ahead of them."
I'm different—" He didn't finish his words either.Because the moment he spoke, there was a sudden wail within the Chen family, crying, desperate and miserable.That kind of voice originally seemed very common in the news of Chen Fangqing's death.But the sudden sound seemed to be amplified thousands of times at this moment.Li Tianlan was stunned.The next moment, the doors of the makeshift conference room were pushed open.Li Huacheng's secretary Ma Si rushed in in a little panic.Behind Ma Si, Hua Zhengyang and Wu Zhengmin's secretaries also hurriedly ran over."
President, everyone—" Ma Si's breathing was a little rapid, and his face was extremely ugly.When he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Li Tianlan, his eyes dodging, with a touch of fear.Li Tianlan's heart sank for no reason.Ma Si's voice was like an ice wind, which blew through the conference room and into everyone's hearts."
Just two minutes ago, in the ambulance."
Ma Si said in a dry voice: "Governor Chen Xi has died, the cause of death...""
Cerebral hemorrhage...", there was a deathly silence.Li Tianlan's body stiffened in place.His face turned completely pale.
