No one believed Xuanyuan Wushang’s words.

Just like the medical examiner has concluded that Chen Fangqing's death was normal, no one believes it.

Such a death is too coincidental, and this coincidence means great benefits, so even if it is a true natural death, some people are trying to conspire about it.

Xuanyuan Wushang is a doctor, but he is unknown and has no authoritative argument at all. In the eyes of others, his so-called normal death is nothing more than Li Tianlan dragging someone here for a formality and concluding a natural death.

, people don’t even believe that Xuanyuan Wushang is a doctor.

This kind of conclusion cannot withstand scrutiny, and no one will believe it at all, but Li Tianlan has to show the minimum attitude. When the new group becomes more and more clear, and some people continue to quietly change their stance under the influence of Shengshi Fund, Li Tianlan

This kind of statement can be said to be unimportant, but it can also be said to be very important.

However, no one showed any doubts about Xuanyuan Wushang at the scene, not even the Chen family members.

There is an endless stream of people coming to express condolences to the Chen family. After all, he is the prime minister of a country. No matter how down he is, he is not comparable to ordinary people. And most of the people who can get the news now are well-informed people. They can know about Chen Fangqing's death. Naturally

We can also clearly see some possible developments after Chen Fangqing's death.

At this time, no one wanted to offend Li Tianlan, and naturally no one wanted to offend Chen Fangqing. Anyway, it was just a matter of coming over, and no one thought it was troublesome.

On this occasion, other directors of Zhongzhou had to show up, but it was not suitable to be watched by people for a long time, so Li Huacheng took the initiative and borrowed a side hall from the Chen family to prepare for a temporary meeting on the spot.

When talking to the Chen family, Li Huacheng's expression and voice were very calm.

But Li Tianlan, Dongcheng Wudi, Zou Mulin and others all looked at him deeply.

Meeting at Chen's house.

Everyone knows what this means.

The Chen family is not far from Yinlonghai. Under normal circumstances, even if they have a meeting, they should be in Yinlonghai. In fact, they have nothing extra to do here. There is no need to stay here after showing up.

Chen Fangqing's death was sudden and special.

In the past century, he was the first director to pass away suddenly before retiring.

Therefore, all the directors will show up, the parliamentarian-level leaders in Youzhou, and the military giants will rush over. In the next three days, the entire Central Continent’s parliamentarians will also rush to Youzhou, and then wait for Chen Fangqing’s funeral.

If Chen Fangqing has retired, the directors will also come before the official funeral, but they will not appear at the same time, or even all of them. The secretary will come to help maintain order at the scene, and they will only attend the funeral.

Farewell ceremony for Chen Fangqing’s body.

So strictly speaking, after the appearance, all the directors had nothing to do. It was enough to leave two secretaries to assist the Chen family. They could just come over at the farewell ceremony three days later.

But now Li Huacheng asked for a meeting at Chen's house.

Is the meeting so urgent that it can't even make it to the distance of less than 20 kilometers from here to Hidden Dragon Sea?

This is obviously not the case.

This is a head start!

Holding this high-level meeting in the Chen family has extremely rich meanings, and the most direct meaning is Li Huacheng's dissatisfaction with Li Tianlan.

Holding a meeting here not only puts great pressure on Li Tianlan and the wealthy group, but also expresses his attitude to other groups.

Li Tianlan's face was expressionless and he did not make any remarks from beginning to end.

The Chen family arranged a relatively quiet room in the backyard specially for Chen Fangqing.

The room was not very big, so it seemed extremely crowded when senior executives walked in.

There were still many people present today.

Not only the nine directors, but also the three deputy ministers of the cabinet, two national advisers, Youzhou Speaker Bai Zhanfang, four and three deputy ministers of the military department, Bai Qingchao, the deputy secretary-general, and the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel,

MPs from the Union Ministry and other departments were present.

Li Huacheng sat in the main seat and looked at everyone present silently.

Li Tianlan sat across from Li Huacheng with an expressionless face, saying nothing and wandering away from home.

"I just met the Prime Minister yesterday."

Li Huacheng was silent for about five minutes before slowly speaking: "We chatted very late. Last night, he was still discussing the development of Central Continent with me. Who would have thought that today..."

There was extremely sincere regret and sigh in his tone, and no one knew what his true thoughts were.

Guo Wentian took out a cigarette and lit one, and said slowly: "We have had a lot of exchanges recently. The Prime Minister has been under a lot of pressure recently and often suffers from insomnia. His headache is an old problem. He has also talked about it with the doctor, but

The doctor didn't have any good ideas, he just gave him some painkillers and asked him to pay attention to rest."

Guo Wentian laughed at himself: "Pay attention to rest. As far as I know, the Prime Minister's schedule has been extremely chaotic in the past few years. A lot of things have happened recently. Where can he get any rest?"

There was silence.

"The Prime Minister has always been extremely concerned about the affairs of the Cabinet. The Prime Minister has always had a very long-term vision. He is concerned about the future of the Cabinet. At the same time, he often reflects on the past of the Cabinet, combines the past with the present, sums up experience, and explores

The way forward. A few days ago, the Prime Minister mentioned to me that the future of the cabinet still needs new ideas, a new atmosphere, and a hundred schools of thought to contend. Many years ago, we vigorously supported agriculture, and even later, we vigorously supported industry. These are correct

Our measures have established our current international position. In recent years, our focus has been on finance and energy, and we have neglected other fields to a certain extent, and therefore we have missed some opportunities. Therefore, the Prime Minister feels that after the election,

Some talents should be promoted from various aspects and angles to enrich the breadth of thinking of the cabinet, he said, and every area of ​​the country should not be abandoned."

A cabinet member suddenly spoke, his tone calm and unhurried.

Li Tianlan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but still didn't speak.

The person who spoke was He Zhengnan, a cabinet member who has been extremely low-key in recent years. A so-called cabinet member is theoretically on the same level as the deputy prime minister, but in fact he has huge influence but has not competed for the position of deputy prime minister.

Strong figures do have real power in their hands and have their own areas of responsibility, but most of the time they cooperate with the work of the cabinet. From another perspective, they cooperate with the work of the real person in charge of the cabinet.

He Zhengnan had already half-retired a few years ago, and he would definitely retire after this election. No one thought that in this incident, he would rush out to be the vanguard after Guo Wentian.

He Zhengnan felt Li Tianlan's gaze and nodded to him, smiling politely and respectfully.

He can be regarded as the backbone of the Prince Group, but he can never be regarded as one of the core personnel. However, Chen Fangqing's death was sudden. In today's Youzhou, he is already considered a relatively important figure that Guo Wentian can pull out, and Guo Wentian is also

He was given an offer that he couldn't refuse. Originally, He Zhengnan was not going to take a stand on this matter. The areas he was in charge of had many overlaps with Wu Zhengmin's. In other words, he was cooperating with Wu Zhengmin's work in the cabinet.

, Wu Zhengmin quickly straightened out the relationship after entering the cabinet. After learning the methods of this old fox who had carried the flag for the Li family for more than 20 years, He Zhengnan chose to give in. Although he is still in office, he usually

Basically, there is not much time to appear in the cabinet.

The situation and rise and fall of the major groups in Central Continent theoretically have nothing to do with him.

But his son is now in a critical period.

His son is now the mayor of Qindao City in Dongshan Province. Qindao is a deputy governor-level city, but the status of deputy governor-general of Qindao Mayor cannot be said to be very low, but it is actually not too high.

Guo Wentian hit his weak spot almost as soon as he opened his mouth.

If this operation is successful, his son will be transferred to the capital city of Tianfu Province after the election to serve as a director of Tianfu Province and concurrently as the speaker of the capital city. In this position, if it works well, he will be transferred to the capital city of Tianfu Province in five years.

After that, it is very possible to ascend to heaven and become the governor of Tianfu.

Those are the real core personnel of the Prince Group.

At his son's age, there is little chance of becoming a director, and the Prince Group does not have such resources. But starting from the position of governor of Tianfu Province, as long as he is not too unlucky, basically his son can reach where he is now.

At a high level, whether you become a member of parliament or a cabinet member, you can ensure that the family continues to be glorious.

So He Zhengnan did not hesitate.

He just thought about it for a few seconds, and then agreed to Guo Wentian to fight for him in the meeting.

The words he said through Chen Fangqing's mouth were very subtle, but the meaning was very clear to everyone.

Promote talents from all aspects and multiple perspectives.

This sentence is the key among the keys.

The so-called various aspects and multiple perspectives can be understood as focusing on officials with different talents and different abilities.

But all major groups have no shortage of officials of this different type.

Even the Northern Group, which is currently the weakest, still has quite a few.

So this sentence is equivalent to saying that the cabinet after the election is a piece of cake placed in front of the major groups, and everyone has the opportunity to get a piece of it.

In other words, the next cabinet will no longer be dominated by a certain group that has a relative advantage.

Rather, each group can make its own voice in different positions.

This has an absolute conflict of fundamental interests with the new group's future plans.

Wu Zhengmin became the second prime minister.

Bai Qingqian became deputy prime minister.

The goal of the new group was clear and clear. It placed all its two leaders in the cabinet, and even sacrificed many possible local interests for this purpose. The first step in the rise of the new group was to gain the right to speak in the cabinet.

Now He Zhengnan wants the cabinet to allow a hundred schools of thought to contend.

People from all groups have entered the cabinet, which means that the position of the new group in the cabinet will be greatly reduced, and the right to speak will be greatly weakened. The new group's strategy will completely fail.

Wu Zhengmin and Bai Qingqian both pushed forward, and the new group that only received a small number of positions and a few provinces would also become unstable. It is hard to say what the future of such a new group will be, but at least it will be difficult to start.

.

The cabinet contention is the first step of the Prince Group's plan. In this plan, because there are too many voices from all sides, the authority of the secondary prime minister will be weakened to a certain extent, while the main authority will be concentrated on the prime minister, resulting in many contradictions and conflicts.

They all require the prime minister who controls the cabinet to mediate, further accelerating the new prime minister's accumulation of prestige in the cabinet.
