"Those bootlickers are really a mob." Wei Xiushan had not expected things to go so smoothly. Perhaps because they had been opposing each other for too long and were working in the same pot, no matter what happened, they could not clear their own faction. Therefore, the struggle in Shanxi had been reduced to a state of mutual wrangling. Now that Sima Ji had suddenly appeared, the people from the ministry were dumbfounded. No one had mentioned principles for a long time. Now that Wei Xiushan was talking about principles, it was not the principles of Shanxi, but the principles of Nanjing under the leadership of the Military Governor Vaize. The ministry was completely defeated. The group of bootlickers who usually followed the Provincial Party Secretary Sima Ping feared power the most, even if it was a higher power. Just the appearance of some figures made them panic and even talk nonsense.
Wei Xiushan felt that victory was in his grasp, but his faction was not so optimistic. This was Shanxi, after all. Even if Sima Ji had beaten up the guards, it was not a big deal. As long as his father Sima Ping was still the Shanxi Provincial Party Secretary, this was not a problem. The guards would not dare to expose him. It was not that they did not dare to expose Sima Ping, but they did not dare to offend the young masters. Sima Ji was not the only arrogant person in Shanxi.
Therefore, Sun Mingli, an important figure in Wei Xiushan's faction, could not help but remind him, "Governor Wei, I'm afraid this matter will not be blown out of proportion." The Ministry of Land and Resources was in charge of many things. As long as it was related to land, it had the power. Especially the Urban Planning Office under the Ministry of Land and Resources. If this unit did not agree, no city construction could be approved. For land use, the Ministry of Land and a group of local Shanxi officials led by the Provincial Party Secretary had fought for a long time.
"This matter was not a big deal, but the Governor knows about it." But the commander-in-chief knows about this. "Wei Xiushan enunciated the second half of the sentence word by word. Nothing was scary, but the Governor knew about it. The Governor paid a lot of attention to the system. North of the Yellow River was far from the Governor, and these areas lacked popular support, so it was not unusual for bad debts. However, the areas south of the Yellow River were economically developed, rich in products, and had a higher level of social production and social system. At least Shanxi could not compare.
If the commander-in-chief found out, it meant that the commander-in-chief would very likely use the standards of the south of the Yellow River to set Shanxi's standards. At that time, Shanxi's officialdom would face a huge shock. This kind of vibration was likely to capsize the whole ship, but Wei Xiushan was not afraid at all. His backer was there, and he was ready to jump ship. Those who were hostile to the traditional Shanxi forces might not be good people, or perhaps they couldn't be considered good people at all. But the struggle between these people and the traditional forces was fierce. In the confrontation, these people unconsciously or consciously chose to side with Wei Xiushan. The head of the ministries was the State Council, and the head of the State Council was the Military Governor Vaize. However, the Military Faction only had one leader in their hearts, and that leader wasn't Ruan Xihao who appeared as the decision-maker. Ruan Xihao was only the leader. If the team led by Ruan Xihao wasn't following the Military Governor Vaize, no one in the Military Faction would choose to follow Ruan Xihao. Perhaps the people in this group had different opinions, but Wei Xiushan's attitude was very clear. Wei Xiushan believed that Shanxi had to be reorganized, and the first task was to get rid of Sima Ping, who was colluding with the old forces in Shanxi.
Those who weren't old comrades naturally didn't know the attitude of the Military Governor Vaize. For these people, His Majesty Vézé was more like a symbol that represented all kinds of positive meanings. But a symbol was ultimately just a symbol. If justice alone was effective, Shanxi wouldn't have fallen to this point. Could Sima Ji alone overthrow Sima Ping and his group of henchmen? The long-term experience of wrangling with each other made these cadres not optimistic.
"Let's not worry about this for now. Let's wait for the Nanjing police's documents." Wei Xiushan didn't want to reveal too much. After all, the officialdom was officialdom. Although there weren't many fickle officials, there were many who bet on both sides. There was no guarantee that someone inside would leak the contents of these meetings to Sima Ping.
"In addition, let's also investigate. Don't let the news spread. Our children are not as good as Sima Ji." Wei Xiushan issued an order to stabilize the situation. From the expressions on the faces of these cadres, it could be seen that everyone was actually not very optimistic. Which family didn't rely on power? Although it wasn't illegal, it wasn't necessarily less.
"Don't let them do the small things. As for the big things, I don't think there are any big things." Wei Xiushan could only maintain the situation like this. He had already made his own decision. If there really was, then he could only cut off his tail to survive. Of course, that was a matter for the future. Now they were waiting for the situation to develop in Wei Xiushan's favor.
So things began to move forward. Levis was woken up by Gu Letian in the middle of the night. Wearing only pajamas, he met with Gu Letian in the study. Levis listened to Gu Letian anxiously describing the limited content of the telegram manuscript. The capacity of these telegrams was limited. Shanxi was too far from Nanjing. If he wanted to know more details, he could only wait for the letter sent by train. Even if it was limited words, it outlined the content that was quite shocking to Levis. The military faction in Shanxi was going to force him to abdicate.
Looking at Gu Letian's anxious expression, Levis said somewhat calmly, "Stabilize the matter in Shanxi first. Sima said it is best not to let the Nanjing Public Security Bureau's notice document be sent to Shanxi. That's right. But I am worried that someone will bring this matter to the Commander in Chief. "
"How can the Commander in Chief not know about this? I heard it's related to your nephew. "Gu Letian wasn't optimistic at all. Wei Kun was Li Yifang's eldest son and Levis's nephew. Qi Hongyi's eldest son, Wei Rui, was doing well in the military. Everyone generally felt that Wei Rui's appearance was indeed like his mother's. Overall, he was closer to Vézé. The same was true for Wei Kun. Between the two brothers, Wei Rui inherited more of Vézé's military side, while Wei Kun inherited more of Vézé's scholar side. In general, they were both outstanding. As for who was more outstanding between the two brothers, it was a question of benevolence and wisdom. Different standpoints naturally had different opinions.
But now, Gu Letian didn't want to discuss the issue of the Commander in Chief's successor. Right now, he wanted to discuss how the Commander in Chief would react when he found out about Sima Ping's son's mischief. Even though he belonged to the same camp as Sima Ping, Gu Letian's evaluation of Sima Ji was extremely low. This kind of trash dared to offend the Guard Corps. With the Commander in Chief's strict management of the military, it wasn't strange for him to be severely punished. With Gu Letian's current state of mind, even if the Commander in Chief could let this piece of trash off, if Sima Ji fell into Gu Letian's hands in the future, Gu Letian wouldn't let this bastard off.
"Don't look for Ding Jingsong. This matter has nothing to do with him. Don't make things difficult for him. "Levis didn't choose the seemingly simple solution.
"Why?" Gu Letian was somewhat puzzled.
"This isn't a big matter. If Ding Jingsong is involved, it will become a big matter. The Commission for Discipline Inspection isn't just for show. "Levis explained.
"But Sima Ping …" Gu Letian felt that the pressure in Shanxi was greater.
Levis felt that Gu Letian was being overly concerned. He said unhappily, "Are you muddle-headed? Sima Ji is a brat. If we beat him up, he's just a brat making a mistake. I heard that he caused trouble after getting drunk. If we forcefully drag Ding Jingsong into this, then who will tell the Commander in Chief that I made a mistake after drinking too much? "
Gu Letian was also a little anxious when he was woken up in the middle of the night. After hearing Levis's words, Gu Letian also sobered up. It seemed like this was a problem in Shanxi, but in reality, the instigator wasn't in the faraway Shanxi. Instead, it was in Nanjing, which was very close by. If Ding Jingsong was allowed to do something, it was very likely that the enemy would have something to use against them. Then, the flames of war would directly reach the Commander in Chief's desk. At that time, Sima Ping would be nothing. The ones in trouble would be the big shots in the Central Government.
Seeing that Gu Letian still wasn't willing to give up even though he understood the reason, Levis sighed. "We'll just have to admit that we'll let others have something to use against us. It's not like we're protecting Sima Ji. What's wrong with letting this brat scram? "
Gu Letian nodded. Firing Sima Ji was not even considered abandoning a pawn to protect a rook. In Gu Letian's opinion, getting rid of this b * stard was simply doing the people a favor. He said, "Are we just going to leave this matter alone for now? Wait to see what they have up their sleeves? "
"Of course!" Levis also made a decision. This duel was a continuation of the previous one, and Levis also had his own predicament now. He was about to retire, and Wang Haiyang wasn't the successor that Levis had single-handedly nurtured. If this matter was overdone, who knew what Wang Haiyang would think? From a normal person's point of view, Wang Haiyang wouldn't be willing to clean up after Levis. If he wanted Wang Haiyang to take up the fight against the military faction, then he could only wait for the military faction to force Wang Haiyang to the point where he had no choice but to fight back.
After sending Gu Letian off, Levis continued to sleep. To be able to sleep until dawn without worrying was a long-cherished wish of Levis's for too long. Whether others would be reluctant to sleep or not was their business, but Levis didn't have such a thought. In history, there were so many relatives of the emperor who once sat in the position of prime minister, and few of them had a good ending. He and his uncle, Li Yuchang, both became prime ministers one after another, and there were plenty of people who were jealous of them. If Levis didn't even know this, he would have been the prime minister for nothing. What was so bad about retiring from the position of prime minister and enjoying a respected status and a life without a lack of money?
However, many things didn't change according to Levis's will. Ding Jingsong reluctantly sent the detention document to the Shanxi province government, and the governor of Shanxi province, Wei Xiushan, took the document and launched a fierce attack on Sima Ping. These were all within Levis's expectations.
However, before this matter naturally subsided, the matter of Hubei province's provincial party secretary, Zhou Zhengxiong, beating up the Hubei machinery factory's director, Yang Fugui, was exposed by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Zhou Zhengxiong was the provincial party secretary sent by the military faction, and was one of the important cadres who made things difficult for Levis more than a year ago. Although the Commission for Discipline Inspection didn't communicate with Levis before doing this, it was the provincial party secretary's son who was sent by the Ministry of Finance and the provincial party secretary himself who was sent by the military to get into trouble. Levis smelled a strong sense of revenge.
