Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Ji Quanyong saw Tang Jian's pleading look. He certainly knew why Xu Chaoqi suddenly opened fire today. In fact, he was also aware of what might happen at the Provincial People's Congress, and he didn't even try to stop it. After all, he was the director of the Provincial People's Congress, so how could such a thing happening within the scope of the People's Congress bypass him?

In his heart, Ji Quanyong was very dissatisfied with Xu Chaoqi's performance in recent times. He thought that this person had forgotten his roots after gaining power and did not take himself seriously. If this was the case, he should teach him a lesson. As for Feng Sizhe, he was young and wanted to show his strength in Ducheng Province, and even wanted to destroy the political situation here. Of course, he should strike back against such a person. Adding the two together, he just ignored the actions of Tang Jian and others. What he did not expect was that the news of this matter had leaked out in advance and even caused such a big reaction. Now it seems that people are going to fight back. As the well-deserved number one in Ducheng Province, he must stand up and say a few words. With him around, he would not allow Xu Chaoqi to be so arrogant.

"Well, the public security situation in Ducheng Province has been bad for more than one or two days. I think Comrade Tang Jian and others have also worked hard and made contributions for it. The responsibility cannot be entirely blamed on them." Ji Quanyong finally spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he really wanted to help Tang Jian.

Xu Chaoqi was stunned when Ji Quanyong said this. He didn't know what to say. After all, this person had always been his leader, and the pressure from him had been there for many years. This could not be changed in a short time.

Xu Chaoqi didn't know what to say after hearing Ji Quanyong's words, but Feng Sizhe on the side was not afraid. He had not been in Ducheng Province for a long time and was not very afraid of Ji Quanyong. Moreover, with his background and connections, there were not many people who could scare him now.

Of course, even so, Feng Sizhe had no intention of confronting Ji Quanyong immediately. After all, Ji Quanyong had a lot of seniority. If he questioned him first, and the matter got to the central government, it would inevitably give people the impression that he did not respect his leaders.

So, seeing Ji Quanyong speaking, Feng Sizhe did not speak immediately, but turned his gaze to Guan Denggui, chairman of the Provincial CPPCC standing beside him. Now it was time for this person to stand up and speak.

Before this meeting, Xu Chaoqi had discussed it with Feng Sizhe, and Young Master Feng would naturally tell Guan Denggui that they were now an alliance and the time had come when he would need to contribute.

When Feng Sizhe looked over, Guan Denggui smiled and said, "Yes, Director Ji is right."

At first, Guan Denggui seemed to confirm Ji Quanyong's statement, but then he changed the subject and said, "However, the provincial public security work is under the leadership of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee after all. If the current situation is chaotic and has even attracted the repeated attention of the central government, then shouldn't they look for the reasons? We can't just use the reason that such things cannot be solved in a short time just because we have discovered the problem. On the contrary, if we keep looking for reasons like this, when can the problem be solved? So I think we should put some pressure on them. Comrade Tang Jian, I think your department really needs to be properly rectified. As for you, as the main leader, I think you should also make a self-examination and give an explanation first. Of course, we must also make great efforts to investigate what has happened. After all, the central government wants to give a result."

"That's right, I agree with Chairman Guan's opinion. Comrade Zu Rongguang also told me before that some leaders of the central government are very angry about this matter. In order to reduce certain pressure, he also hopes that our Ducheng Province can make a gesture first." Feng Sizhe interjected at this time and supported Guan Denggui's opinion.

Guan Denggui stood up to support Xu Chaoqi and oppose Ji Quanyong. This force should not be underestimated. After all, these two people are almost the same in terms of seniority. The only difference is that one of them has a Mr. Fang behind him.

Feng Sizhe stood up at the right time and mentioned the attitude of the central investigation team, which made it difficult for others to say anything to help Tang Jian. After all, everyone knew the relationship between Governor Feng and the investigation team. If this small request could not be met, the investigation team would do something to Ducheng Province. It would be no wonder that Young Master Feng did not plead for mercy.

"Yes, I agree with Chairman Guan's opinion." Yu Chunhao, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, also stood up at the right time.

"I agree too." Executive Vice Governor Zheng Defu also quickly spoke out to express his support.

Several people expressed their opinions one after another, and they all supported Guan Denggui and opposed Ji Quanyong, which made the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly tense.

For many years, no one had opposed Ji Quanyong in a formal meeting, but today this scene happened so realistically. Of course, everyone can see that this happened because Feng Sizhe was involved. The few people who expressed their support all had a good relationship with this young man, and it seemed that only he could unite these people.

Of course, these people are still a minority overall, at least not as many as the Ji faction. But the key point is that Feng Sizhe is right this time, and their words make it difficult for the Ji faction to refute.

Suddenly facing so many people who came out to oppose him, Ji Quanyong's face was surprisingly ugly. Once upon a time, he thought that the Capital Province was his one-man show and he should have the final say. Once upon a time, he thought that no one would dare to oppose him so openly in his lifetime. Or once upon a time, he thought that he was the master of the Capital Province. As long as he wanted, he had the final say in everything here. He had the final say. But what happened in the meeting room today was completely beyond his imagination.

No, he couldn't let others question his authority. Otherwise, the myth that he had complete control over the capital province would be broken, which would undoubtedly be the most serious blow to his prestige and power.

Ji Quanyong made a decision almost instantly, that is, he would fight back. He still holds the initiative. At least in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the majority of people support him.

But just when Ji Quanyong was about to open his mouth to refute, or even get angry, Feng Sizhe spoke again, "Comrades, we cannot deny that the public security situation in Ducheng Province is indeed not good. I think this has also left a deep impression on the central government. If we still do not admit this mistake, but instead must cover it up and find various excuses for it, then it may cause the leaders to be disgusted, or even make them feel disappointed. If this is the case, it will undoubtedly be detrimental to our Ducheng Province. If we really provoke the higher-ups to send other cadres because of public security issues, then I just want to say one thing. I am afraid that the rights and interests of everyone present will be harmed at that time. Everyone should think carefully before speaking."

Feng Sizhe thought that Ji Quanyong would not just give up so willingly, he would definitely fight back, and if he really stood up and started to fight back, there would be no way out, and the only thing left was to fight head-on. If that was the case, no matter who won in the end, it would be a miserable victory. He was unwilling to do something that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred, so he said this at this critical moment, just to remind Ji Quanyong that if you don't admit the reality of the poor public security in Ducheng Province, then wait for the higher-ups to use this as an excuse to clean up the mess. At that time, I'm afraid you won't have an easy time either, after all, compared with the safe environment of tens of millions of people, even if you have all kinds of backgrounds, it's useless.

It must be said that what Feng Sizhe said at this critical moment was still very effective. Ji Quanyong, who was about to refute, actually shut his mouth after hearing these words. He actually knew very well that what others said was right. If he really stood up, it would be a matter of loyalty.

If others were not clear about the security situation in Ducheng Province, he could understand it, but if even Ji Quanyong was not clear, that was bullshit. The former Governor Ji, Secretary Ji, and now Director Ji had worked here for decades, so how could he not understand the situation here?

Ji Quanyong has a broad perspective, otherwise he would not have stood firm in the Z forum for so many years. So at this moment, he knew that this was not the time to argue with Feng Sizhe and Xu Chaoqi, and that the overall situation should be the most important. It was undoubtedly the right time for Tang Jian to step forward.

After Ji Quanyong thought it through, he finally remained silent.

The other members of the Discipline Committee had also been keeping an eye on Ji Quanyong. They were all waiting for the leader to speak and then fight back collectively. But this time they were disappointed. Their old leader was silent. Did this mean that the leader had given in? Was the situation in Ducheng Province really going to change?

Of course, the most nervous person among these people is Tang Jian. He was the one who was called upon to make a self-criticism. If he really did it, his authority would be greatly affected. Others would say that Tang Jian was not necessarily valued by Ji Quanyong. Otherwise, why didn't Ji Quanyong help him when he encountered difficulties?

In these years in Ducheng Province, Tang Jian's influence and power are still extremely great. Normally, he is just the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission. As the central government has long reduced the burden and the number of deputy secretaries, this position no longer requires him to concurrently serve as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. The reason why he still has such a great influence is undoubtedly because of his relationship with Ji Quanyong. Everyone thinks that Tang Jian is a very influential person in the Ji system, so they give him face. But now it seems that the Ji system is unwilling to step in if he has problems. What does this mean?
