Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Let me say a few words. Comrade Feng Sizhe, as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor, promoted his own cadres privately without using the organizational inspection procedures at all. For example, when it came to promoting Comrade Duan Yuntao, the chief of the Sichuan Metropolitan Public Security Bureau, he was the only one who had the final say. As the provincial organization minister, I have never received the task of inspecting Duan Yuntao, yet he has already been nominated as the chief of the Sichuan Metropolitan Public Security Bureau at the provincial standing committee." The person who said this was naturally the organization minister Su Hanmin. As a member of the discipline department, he certainly had to do his part at such a time.

"That's right. As the governor in charge of the propaganda department, he has never given any support to the propaganda work since he took office. He is not a qualified governor." Since Propaganda Minister Mou Ximing was here, he certainly couldn't say nothing, but he really had nothing to say, so he had to make up such a story.

Hearing several people speaking and talking about Feng Sizhe's faults, Ouyang Ling was very happy, "Very good, Comrade Pang Yijun, write it all down, write it all down."

In the following time, several people were here talking about Feng Sizhe's faults and mistakes. Of course, there was no obvious evidence for the problems they mentioned. They were just casting a wide net and then looking for feasible evidence from it.

At the home of Xu Chaoqi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Mei Guolong, the only Minister of United Front Work who shared the same views with him, was also sitting here, asking him about issues concerning Feng Sizhe.

"Secretary Xu, I just received news that Ouyang Ling is convening a meeting with Pang Yijun, Tang Jian and others. If my guess is correct, their target should be Feng Sizhe. Should we also do something?" Ge Guolong asked.

Xu Chaoqi frowned. The current situation in Ducheng Province is quite complicated, and the main reason is Feng Sizhe. Now almost all the disciplinary factions have joined forces, and they want to target Feng Sizhe and drive Governor Feng out of Ducheng Province. Of course, Ouyang Ling's idea is more ruthless, he wants to get Young Master Feng out of office.

But Xu Chaoqi was also clear that if you want to do something to a provincial governor, how can you do it without clear evidence? Although Tang Jian and his people said some bad things about Feng Sizhe with the support of Ouyang Ling, there was still no real evidence. Although he also heard that the investigation team seemed to have persuaded several women to testify against Feng Sizhe, he knew that when an official reached this level, he could no longer just rely on work style issues. Such things could only be regarded as auxiliary evidence. Everything depended on the strength of the main evidence.

A while ago, Xu Chaoqi and Feng Sizhe had joined forces and achieved good results. At least, they dealt a heavy blow to Tang Jian and others. Now those people have joined hands to deal with Feng Sizhe. In this case, he has to make a choice. In the face of interests, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies. It is normal for him and Tang Jian to join forces to deal with Feng Sizhe. He is just considering the feasibility of the matter. In the process of contacting Feng Dashao, he can feel that this governor who has just entered middle age at the age of 40 is very capable. Sometimes he is like an immortal cockroach. Unless you are absolutely sure that you can knock him down in one blow, it is best not to try. In case you fail to achieve your goal and the other party recovers, the consequences will be very serious. As Xu Chaoqi, who has no backing in the central government, knows that he cannot afford to offend Feng Sizhe.

But since Mei Guolong came to report this matter to him, if he didn't express his attitude at all, it would inevitably hurt his subordinates' feelings, so he smiled and said, "Oh, Comrade Guolong, do you have any ideas?"

"Secretary, since Tang Jian and the others are determined to bring down Feng Sizhe, I think it would be better for us to also contribute our strength and lend a helping hand. I also know that the Secretary just teamed up with Feng Sizhe a while ago, and it seems that you have a good relationship. But please do not forget, Secretary, his main mission in coming to Ducheng Province is to strike back at our local faction, and as long as this person is in Ducheng Province, his goal will not change. For the sake of the future, I think it is right to kick this person out of Ducheng Province, what do you think?" Mei Guolong looked at Xu Chaoqi and said seriously.

In terms of ability, Mei Guolong is average. He is just older, and his father had a strong influence in the capital province when he was still alive, so he has the position he is in today. And because he knows his own strengths and weaknesses, he can see through it. Once Feng Sizhe takes power, he might be the first one to be attacked. Who made him limited in ability? A capable person should like capable cadres. For the sake of his own future, he came to persuade Xu Chaoqi today, hoping to give Feng Sizhe a blow.

Xu Chaoqi could sense that Mei Guolong was determined to target Feng Guozhe. Come to think of it, he did not blame him. He was old and his abilities were average. Such a person might be replaced at any time by Feng Sizhe, who was under his control. After all, was he doing this for himself?

In fact, what Mei Guolong was worried about was exactly what Xu Chaoqi was worried about. Although he seemed to be the secretary of a province now, if everything went according to normal development, Feng Sizhe would actually replace him. Looking at Young Master Feng's work history, he was promoted so quickly. When did he follow the normal rules? If Feng Sizhe showed his outstanding strength, would he replace him as the secretary of a province in advance? If so, this person would force him to leave his position. Although the probability of such a thing happening was not high, it still existed. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried at all.

But now is an opportunity, an opportunity to relieve his worries. If he can take down Feng Sizhe together with everyone else this time, then no matter who comes here to be the governor, it will take a certain amount of time just to control the situation. Then he can use these opportunities to better control more power and consolidate his position as secretary. At that time, the chances of others wanting to replace him in advance will be much smaller.

After a while, Xu Chaoqi also thought a lot. "Well, Comrade Guolong, what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. There are already many complaint letters from representatives of all walks of life in Xichuan City on my desk. They have written to say that Xichuan has lost its normal development due to Feng Sizhe's disaster relief drill, and many of them have suffered heavy losses. I want to make use of this incident to make a fuss. Secretary Xu, do you think it's okay?" Mei Guolong said as he looked at Xu Chaoqi.

In fact, Mei Guolong also thought of the threat that Feng Sizhe posed to Xu Chaoqi, so he came here to give advice. He had some confidence.

"Oh, there is such a thing. Hey, Governor Feng can conduct disaster relief exercises, but it cannot affect the local economic development. Well, since this matter is something that you, the Minister of United Front Work, should be in charge of, then you should go and inquire about it." Seeing that Mei Guolong had already made preparations, Xu Chaoqi nodded to show his support.

Of course, Xu Chaoqi was still very smart. He did not stand up immediately, but just agreed with Mei Guolong's approach. This was also a test to see if Young Master Feng had any other cards up his sleeve. If he could not withstand the attack of these people, then as the secretary of a province, he would of course stand up and express his dissatisfaction with Feng Sizhe in a righteous manner. Only then would the mission be accomplished.

Within a short period of time, people from the Ji faction, including old members of the Ji faction like Xu Chaoqi, began to take action, and Feng Sizhe's situation became precarious.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Xichuan Municipal Party Committee Building.

In the office of the municipal party secretary He Wenbao, the provincial transportation director Tang Gui was standing there being scolded.

Tang Gui was originally passing through Xichuan City from another city to see the situation here. This was also arranged by Yang Ding, the chief secretary beside Ji Quanyong. They really wanted to know what Xichuan City was like now, so they sent him here on the pretext of official business and then report back.

As the director of the Provincial Department of Transportation, a department-level cadre, Tang Gui still felt very powerful. Coming to a prefecture-level city, especially one with an underdeveloped economy, he still felt very superior. But he didn't expect that Governor Feng Sizhe, who had been stationed here, would come here just after he had an appointment with the municipal party secretary He Wenbao. As soon as he saw him, he started to scold him.

"Comrade Tang Gui, let me ask you, the road that I arranged for you to build in Xichuan City, why hasn't construction started yet? Do you know what I promised you in the beginning? You are blatantly defying the instructions of your superiors. Xichuan City is now conducting a disaster drill, and without the auxiliary road that you built, if a disaster occurs, how are you going to ask the people to evacuate? Tell me?" Looking at Tang Gui, Feng Sizhe was furious. He knew that the director of the Transportation Department, who was originally under his command, did not listen to him, but at least you had to go through the process for the sake of face. Now, you are unwilling to even go through the most basic process. It is obvious that you are not giving him face. In this case, there is no need for him to be polite.

Facing Feng Sizhe's reprimand, Tang Gui felt very uncomfortable. As the provincial transportation director, he naturally had a lot of sources of information. He also knew that the investigation team sent by the central government to investigate the Xia Yu case had shifted its focus to Feng Sizhe. Normally, he should be flustered when being investigated. How could he still think about work, let alone think about the task he had not completed?
