Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Needless to say, the provincial party committee that Pang Yijun was referring to was naturally Xu Chaoqi. He is the secretary, and it is not wrong to obey the secretary as much as to obey the provincial party committee.

"Haha, okay, okay." Pang Yijun gave the answer so quickly that Xu Chaoqi finally had a smile on his face. He had convinced two people in succession, and with his own votes, he had three votes, which was already a considerable force. If he could convince Mou Ximing to stand on his side, then his chances of winning this time would be much greater. The stronger his influence, the more weight he would naturally have as the secretary in the provincial standing committee meeting.

Maybe God's favor had stopped there, or maybe Mu Ximing had never thought highly of Xu Chaoqi. In any case, when Secretary Xu called Minister Mu to persuade Xu Chaoqi to stand on his side, he failed. The most hateful thing was that Mu Xiwang not only did not make any move on Xu Chaoqi's recruitment, but even persuaded him, saying that Xiao Bin's nephew had offended Dongfang Renliang this time, so he must give an explanation. If Xu Chaoqi wanted to protect him, he would probably be hit again.

Mu Ximing's words shocked Xu Chaoqi greatly. He didn't expect that this person would stand with Tang Jian so determinedly, and he didn't expect that this person would even persuade him. If so, doesn't that mean that if he just wants to take Xiao Bin, then the alliance with Yu Chunhao will inevitably collapse? If so, doesn't he have to plan for a second path?

Compared with the rift and unhappiness between Xu Chaoqi and Yu Chunhao, Young Master Feng was not anxious at all and was even in a very good mood.

Zhang Yang had told him what he had heard, saying that Yu Chunhao seemed to be very close to Xu Chaoqi recently, and he should be careful of their alliance. Feng Sizhe did not care about this matter. In his opinion, an alliance like this for temporary interests was not reliable at all and could be disrupted at any opportunity.

But Feng Sizhe did not expect that the opportunity would come so soon. The incident between the two juniors, Dongfang Zhu and Xiao Xiaojun, determined that Xu Yu's alliance would soon collapse. For him personally, the opportunity had arrived.

Feng Sizhe had already analyzed the situation in the capital province. It seemed that Xu Chaoqi and his old Ji faction were the first power center, but in fact, this system was the least cohesive and could be disbanded at any time. He didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, Yu Chunhao's faction gave him a headache. Yu Chunhao, Zheng Defu, Dongfang Renliang, and Wo Lingming were together, which was equivalent to four votes, even one more than the three votes he had. This was what really bothered him.

Because of Feng Sizhe's iron-fisted approach, the old Ji faction members were somewhat afraid of him. If he tried to win over one of these people to join him, he really had no confidence, and he had a headache about this matter. He only regretted that the central government knew the situation in the capital province, but had not lowered its posture to carry out a comprehensive rectification. Otherwise, there would not be so many people left in the Ji faction now, but only fewer.

But Feng Sizhe has no control over the affairs of the central government. The current situation is that although he is the governor and has a strong influence in the province because of Xichuan's affairs, he is actually the one who suffers the most when the provincial standing committee holds a meeting because he has the fewest votes.

Just when Feng Sizhe was worried about this, Xiao Xiaojun's incident happened. This gave Young Master Feng hope, the hope that he could join forces with Xu Chaoqi to deal with Yu Chunhao.

When something big happens, if you want to solve it, you often have to step outside of it and use another lever to leverage it. And the high-level structure of the Capital Province seems to be changing because of a small figure like Xiao Xiaojun.

Yu Chunhao already knew that Xu Chaoqi had talked to Pang Yijun and Zheng Qinghe. Of course, it was Mou Ximing who told him all this.

Among the standing committee members of the Capital Province, Tang Jian had the best relationship with Mou Ximing, so as soon as Xu Chaoqi talked to him, Tang Jian knew about it, and since he knew about it, naturally Yu Chunhao would know about it too.

At this moment, in the exclusive meeting room of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Yu Chunhao, Tang Jian, Mou Ximing, and Dongfang Renliang were sitting here discussing what to do next.

Except Tang Jian, the other three came here in the name of inspection work, and the current Yu faction is far more than these people, there are also Executive Vice Governor Zheng Defu, Sichuan Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Dawei and others. It's just that it's not convenient for them to come here.

"Everyone, I called Pang Yijun, but he refused on the grounds that he was busy with work. I think he may have been convinced by Xu Chaoqi." Mou Ximing was the first to speak. Because he had received individual care from Secretary Xu, he was relatively clear about some things.

Listening to Mu Ximing's words, Yu Chunhao frowned. This was not good news for him.

"Minister Mou, I wonder if you can talk about what promise Xu Chaoqi made to you." Yu Chunhao asked with the idea that knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will ensure victory in every battle.

"This..." Before answering the question, Mu Ximing habitually looked at Tang Jian. He came here today just for this person. It can be said that he was not a member of the Yu faction before.

"It's okay, Deputy Secretary Yu is not an outsider, just tell him what's going on." Tang Jian gave him an encouraging look. It can be said that after he received the call from Lu Xingmin and accepted his kindness, he could no longer be considered a member of the Discipline Department, whether it was the new or old Discipline Department.

In the capital province, those who were not from the discipline department could only choose the Feng or Yu departments. However, based on his past behavior, he did not think that it would be good to join Feng Sizhe at this time. Therefore, he could only choose Yu Chunhao. Just because the other party was from the literature department, they could barely be considered comrades in the same trench.

After getting Tang Jian's permission, Mu Ximing nodded and said, "It's like this. Secretary Xu came to me that day and told me that as long as I agreed to support him, he would fully support my work in the propaganda department in the future. I can set up my own team there without any hesitation, and the provincial party committee will not interfere."

"Oh, this condition is not bad. I wonder why Minister Mou doesn't accept it?" Yu Chunhao smiled after listening to the conditions given by Xu Chaoqi. It seemed that this was already a huge power, but Mou Ximing still refused. This made him a little confused.

"Humph!" Seeing Yu Chunhao questioning him like this, it was obvious that he didn't trust him. How could Mu Ximing be happy? He snorted coldly and said, "I have the final say in the Propaganda Department. I don't need others to guarantee anything. I can still influence the situation here. So, is this considered a condition?"

After hearing what Mou Ximing said, Yu Chunhao felt relieved.

That's right, among the major departments of the provincial party committee and government, the propaganda department is in the best situation now. For example, the Discipline Inspection Commission has Chang Qingshan arranged by Feng Sizhe, and the Political and Legal Committee has an additional deputy secretary Zuo Bing. Because of these people, these departments originally controlled by the discipline system have become a little out of control. In contrast, the work of the propaganda department has always been orderly, and there have been no major personnel changes. It has always been Mou Ximing who has the final say. For this reason, people are confident in saying this now.

Mu Ximing was unhappy, and Tang Jian beside him was also a little angry. After all, he was the one who introduced this person. Yu Chunhao was judging others by his own standards, which was tantamount to not giving himself face. "Deputy Secretary Yu, Minister Ximing and I have always had the best relationship. Please don't doubt him, okay?"

Seeing that Tang Jian was also unhappy, Yu Chunhao laughed, "I don't mean anything else, you know this is an extraordinary period. If we are not united and some issues are not clarified, then this alliance will not be very solid, and the benefits it brings to us will naturally not be big enough, so please understand. Of course, if I have done anything wrong, please forgive me for my rudeness."

Yu Chunhao apologized, and he apologized to the two of them as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. After saying this, Tang Jian and Mu Ximing naturally had nothing to say. The two nodded at the same time, indicating that the matter just now was over. There was one thing that people said was right, in special times, their internal unity was particularly important.

Yu Chunhao smiled when he took the initiative to put down his status, but when he thought of some things, his face sank again and he said, "Everyone, the current situation is not optimistic. Zheng Qinghe, the secretary general of the provincial party committee, has obviously joined Xu Chaoqi's camp. I believe everyone can feel it from his work performance in the past two days. Pang Yijun did not come this time. I think he should have reached some kind of agreement with Xu Chaoqi. If so, it means that Xu's faction has two more people and we have two less people. This ratio is a gain while the loss. I believe everyone knows the result."

Yu Chunhao pointed out the shortcomings of his side in a somewhat pessimistic way. He was reminding everyone that their advantage was not obvious at the moment. If they could not unite at this time, they would be divided one by one until they lost power.

Sure enough, after Yu Chunhao said this, the expressions of the other people became solemn. It was obvious that their side had lost two people, while the other side had two more people. The change in ratio was indeed large enough that they had to be careful.

"Of course, even if these two people leave us temporarily, it seems that we still have the advantage in numbers. Together with Vice Governor Zheng, Secretary Yang and Commander Wo, we will have secured seven votes. This result already exceeds half of the Standing Committee members. Based on this, anyone who wants to make a decision through the Standing Committee that is unfavorable to us will never pass." Giving a sweet date after a slap in the face seems to be one of the common methods used by masters, and Yu Chunhao is no exception.
