Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Tang Yi had long expected that the Zhao family would not give up, and if things went wrong Feng Sizhe would jump out, so he was waiting to see what Young Master Feng would do next and how he would resolve the matter. He even thought about how he would gain his own benefits from it once things got out of hand.

Like his predecessor, Comrade Qin Xianghua, Tang Yi also wanted to seize power in the military very much. However, since he first took office, there were too many things he needed to do, and the military was an independent system that was not easy to be involved in. He had not thought of any foolproof plan, and now that the Li Zhiyong incident had happened, he wanted to observe it carefully.

"Secretary Tang, regarding Comrade Zhen Ting, there are a lot of reporting materials about him in my office." After hearing Tang Yi's request, Wang Zerong took the opportunity to bring up the matter.

"Oh, do you have any evidence?" Tang Yi asked back.

"Some have, and some are still under investigation." Wang Zerong said calmly.

"Tell me what it is." Tang Yi didn't expect that he just asked Wang Zerong to investigate, but he did give him an answer. It seems that Comrade Feng Sizhe has also done some work in the Z Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Okay. It's about Comrade Zhen Ting using his authority to deal with some military cadres who violated discipline. For example, a cadre was investigated by the organization for violating discipline, and someone came to him for help. Comrade Zhen Ting told the other party in a standard way what kind of problem would cost and how much money it would take to solve it. For example, in a letter of complaint, it said that a deputy regimental-level cadre was investigated for violating discipline, so he asked someone to come to him for help. Comrade Zhen Ting said that his level was too low and the problem was easy to solve, and only 500,000 yuan would be enough. At that time, the cadre was also straightforward and directly took out 700,000 yuan and handed it over. But no one expected that after the matter was really resolved, Comrade Zhen Ting had someone send back 200,000 yuan, saying that this was his principle."

When Wang Zerong said this, he couldn't help but shook his head. "Secretary Tang, the military's Discipline Inspection Commission is one of the departments under the leadership of our Z Discipline Inspection Commission. I am also responsible for what happened this time. I ask for punishment."

"Don't say anymore, Secretary Wang. You have just taken charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission. This matter has nothing to do with you. But I didn't expect that Zhen Ting is so principled. He has to have a fixed number of gifts to accept. He is really a scum in the army. This matter must be investigated strictly. If it is confirmed that everything is true, no matter who it is, he must be severely punished. Our country, especially the military, must be pure. Only a pure team can be invincible. Do you understand?" Tang Yi said with a serious expression.

Before Wang Zerong said this, he was still considering the bottom line of this matter, but now that he heard this, Tang Yi really felt the seriousness of the matter. With Wang Zerong's status, it is impossible for him to talk nonsense about such a matter. He must have found something, but because of some forces behind Zhen Ting, he couldn't investigate too deeply, so as not to make the problem bigger and end badly.

But now the incident of Feng Sizhe making fun of Zhen Ting has become public, and most people know about it. Such a written document will inevitably lead to a result, and that is who will win and who will lose. It is obviously unwise to try to strike a balance at this time. When it comes to issues of principle, no one dares to put his or her own personal interests at risk.

Not to mention that Comrade Tang Yi is very decisive in doing things. As long as he thinks it is right, he will do it immediately and never drag his feet. In this respect, he is completely different from Comrade Qin Xianghua.

After receiving Tang Yi's instructions, Wang Zerong nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, Secretary Tang, I will start to investigate this matter now. I will talk to Comrade Zhen Ting in person and try to resolve the matter as soon as possible."

"Very good, Secretary Wang, just go ahead and do it. We will communicate in time if there is anything." Tang Yi nodded. How could he not hear the decisiveness in Wang Zerong's words? It seemed that this man also wanted to beat a big tiger to let others see and establish his authority.

Since the two big bosses, Tang Yi and Wang Zerong, reached a common opinion, this matter became much easier to handle. After Wang Zerong left, they immediately started to investigate the matter.

Zhen Ting felt a little uneasy at this moment, as he was talking to Hou Weidong on the phone.

I only heard Hou Weidong say, "Comrade Zhen Ting, the situation is not very good. I have heard that three military officers and four commanders of major military regions have jointly submitted a report to the military and the central government, saying that they will conduct a thorough investigation of the matter and give the military an explanation."

"Ah? This is a good thing. It's obvious that Feng Sizhe is looking for trouble on purpose. Once we get to the bottom of it, we'll have to see how he gets away with it." Zhen Ting still didn't come to his senses. He thought these people had seen the content in the People's Liberation Army newspaper and wanted to seek justice for him.

Hearing that Zhen Ting hadn't understood the meaning of his words, Hou Weidong cursed him in his heart, and then explained, "Comrade Zhen Ting, I want to ask you, with your connections, can you ask seven military officers to intercede for you?"

"Ah? This..." Zhen Ting was not a fool, on the contrary he was very smart. When he heard this he said in panic, "Ah? Secretary Hou, are you saying that these people are helping Feng Sizhe and are targeting me?"

Hearing that Zhen Ting finally got the idea, Hou Weidong on the other end of the phone nodded, "Yes, there is a sign of this."

"That's impossible. He is just the secretary of a province. How could he have such influence?" Zhen Ting asked in confusion.

"Why not? Have you forgotten his background? Have you forgotten who his grandfather is, who his uncle is, and who his father-in-law is?" Hou Weidong asked back.

Feng Sizhe's advantage is his huge influence in the army. Both his family and his father-in-law's family are famous generals in the army. If there is anyone who is more influential than him in the army, it is likely that he will never be found among the young generation.

"Ah? Then... what should we do?" Zhen Ting was finally a little scared when he heard that the matter was so serious. He was not afraid of ordinary political cadres, but he could not underestimate the cadres who had the support of the army.

"I think the case concerning Li Zhiyong should be resolved immediately." Hou Weidong hesitated and said reluctantly.

"You mean to make the case an ironclad one?" Zhen Ting asked, still a little confused.

Zhen Ting still didn't understand what he meant, which made Hou Weidong feel that he had misjudged him. "No, I mean if Li Zhiyong's problem isn't serious, then we should just give him a disciplinary action and let him go. I don't think it's the right time to escalate the conflict. We don't stand much chance of winning."

Hou Weidong didn't want to sacrifice Zhen Ting, a good chess piece in the army, just to deal with Li Zhiyong, who seemed to be of little use. Zhen Ting was the most relied-upon person in the military system of the Hou family. If something happened to him, the Hou family would have almost no influence in the army, which was not what he wanted to see.

Ever since Mr. Hou fell ill and was bedridden, the influence of the Hou family in the upper echelons has become increasingly weak. The only ones they can rely on are those cadres who were promoted in earlier years. It is simply impossible to place people in the upper echelons. Faced with the situation where using one person would mean losing a favor, he naturally does not want anything to happen to Zhen Ting.

"Oh, OK, OK, I'll get someone to do it right away." Zhen Ting also reacted very quickly. He knew that this was Hou Weidong giving him a way to protect himself. How could he not understand and do as he was told?

Although the law is good, it is still implemented by people, so the drawbacks still exist. Often, the consequences of making some small mistakes are completely determined by the leader's words. Just like Li Zhiyong, he was about to be in trouble because of Wang Liben's incident, but because of Zhen Ting's words, this cadre had always performed well. This time he must have been deceived, so he was given a warning and the person could be released first.

But what was dramatic was that when Li Zhiyong just walked out of the gate of the Military Discipline Inspection Commission, comrades from the Z Discipline Inspection Commission actually came here and invited Comrade Zhen Ting to have tea.

Li Zhiyong arrived at the Zhao family compound without incident. Seeing his return, Mr. Zhao seemed to have recovered a lot. Feng Sizhe, who was watching this scene with a smile, actually received a call from Hou Weidong himself.

"Secretary Feng, Li Zhiyong has been released. I think the Zhen Ting case can also be let go. If you're still not satisfied, I can ask him to apologize to you in person. What do you think?" Hou Weidong's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end.

In fact, when he heard that the comrades from the Z Discipline Inspection Commission had taken Zhen Ting away, he panicked. The Hou system really couldn't afford any more losses, especially for a senior official like Zhen Ting. As a last resort, he thought of Feng Sizhe. Maybe if he could convince this person, everything would get better.

When Feng Sizhe received this call, it was both expected and beyond his imagination.

It was expected that Hou Weidong would come to find me and give me an explanation about this matter, because if he didn't explain, he would come to me to ask for an explanation himself.

But what he could not have imagined was that the Discipline Inspection Commission would act so quickly. He originally thought that as long as Li Zhiyong was released and the other party admitted his mistake, the matter would be over. After all, it was not the time to really turn against each other yet.

"Secretary Hou, this is wrong. Comrade Li Zhiyong's problem should have been investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection before he was released. However, he and Comrade Zhen Ting's investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection seem to be two different things. Do you think that I, as the Secretary of Jiao Liao, can order the Commission for Discipline Inspection to do anything? Isn't this too absurd?"
