In fact, after Ma He saw the article, he called Yu Yan's office. Meng Yang answered the phone and said that Minister Yu had gone to Secretary Zhang. Lao Zhang came from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. I'm afraid the former I got the news in two days. I was just waiting for "Dawn" magazine to verify it.
Yu Yan nodded and said: "Yes. Secretary Zhang said that he would convene a standing committee meeting to discuss this issue. He asked me to suspend my duties immediately and write a profound self-reflection."
Ma He frowned but said nothing.
Although **'s move is somewhat against the rules, it is not too outrageous for the county party secretary to act on the spot during extraordinary times. I'm afraid he would have done the same thing if he were in **'s position.
Yu Yan's article obviously did not have the approval of the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee. Even the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee of Naidoshanlu, Antai City did not know it in advance. Yu Yan published the article in his own name. It was a purely political commentary. The article is not about domestic affairs but about foreign affairs. It does not need to be approved by the local propaganda department. But it is still a big taboo to name and severely criticize the national policies and top leaders of neighboring countries. It is really taboo. If it is investigated, ** and even the entire Taocheng County Party Committee will be responsible. ** Severe punishment is what it should be. Everyone will be in a hurry to clean themselves up.
"Minister Yu, I don't quite understand why you suddenly pay attention to the political situation in the Soviet Union."
Ma He took a deep breath and calmed down a little. He asked slowly, paying close attention to Yu Yan seriously.
Ma He knew very well. He was afraid that he would soon face a difficult choice. The secretary Xiao Zhou who had just gone to bed had already called. He said that Secretary Zhang had decided to hold a standing committee meeting at 2:30 in the afternoon to discuss important matters. Political issues. Since the ** has notified Yu Yan in person that he will immediately suspend his duties. It is conceivable that the Standing Committee will discuss this matter and make an organizational decision on Yu Yan. On such an issue, any statement must be made with caution. You Shen. Agree, oppose or abstain will have an important impact on his future career. Before making a decision, Ma He hopes to know more.
Yu Yan was not from an ordinary background. He had a tough background. Because of this, Ma He was even more uncertain. Maybe this article was not from Yu Yan's original intention. It was just that someone wanted to use his words to express his views. .Because Yu Yan is young and of low status. If a fight breaks out, there is room for maneuver.
If Yu Yanzhen were an ordinary grassroots cadre, Ma He's idea would be much easier.
Yu Yan smiled and said: "It's not like I suddenly paid attention to the situation in the Soviet Union. I have been paying attention to their reforms before. After analysis, I think Gorbachev's reforms are very dangerous. Our reforms are gradual. It starts with the economic system reform slowly. And it is step by step. Every new measure is considered over and over again and carried out tentatively. The political system reform is put after the economic system reform and carried out slowly. I think this It is a relatively safe approach. However, the Soviet Union focused its main energy on the reform of the political system. Many policies were implemented too hastily and have shaken the foundation of the Soviet ruling party. Any reform on an unstable foundation will be dangerous. Dangerous."
Before this, Ma He had no research on the political situation of the Soviet Union. What really made him pay a little attention to the situation in the Soviet Union was the batch of mechanical equipment Xue Nannan imported from the Soviet Union in Jiangkou not long ago. But he did not discuss it in depth. He just read Yu Yan's Article. Ma He felt that what Yu Yan said was quite reasonable. Yu Yan wrote such a theoretical article. Needless to say, the writing style was excellent. It was clearly layered and advanced layer by layer. It was well-founded and well-founded. There was no other information for reference. Under the circumstances, I will be unknowingly affected by this article and worry about the political situation of the Soviet Union.
But Ma He is not an ordinary person, and he cannot look at this problem from the perspective of ordinary people.
"Minister Yu, if we simply discuss the matter, it actually doesn't matter. It is just a discussion. I am afraid that some comrades... must connect the affairs of the Soviet Union with our domestic affairs... The article published by the "People's Daily" today .You saw it too.”
In terms of time, "Shuguang" magazine and "People's Daily" were both published on the same day. In the two major party newspapers and magazines, two articles with completely different views appeared. It can be considered a recent period. Domestic The characteristics of the propaganda department are obvious, but in the minds of grassroots cadres, the editorial articles of the People's Daily are more authentic after all.
"County Magistrate, even if some people have ulterior motives... they must connect the Soviet Union's affairs with domestic affairs. That doesn't matter. It's normal to have different opinions. Different opinions must be allowed..." At this point. Yan smiled slightly, a little meaningfully, and said: "County magistrate, this may be an opportunity to see many people clearly."
Ma He couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Yu Yan with some suspicion.
What does this mean?
Yu Yan is so calm. Could it be that he really has something to rely on? Although everyone thinks that Yu Yan has a strong personality and is even impulsive at times. However, upon closer inspection, it turns out that this is not the case. In any big confrontation, Yu Yan is basically It was the young and impulsive-looking Comrade Xiao Yu who was the one who finally won. Those experienced old comrades were all defeated. No matter what happened, it was the same.
This time, I may not necessarily be able to get what I want.
Yu Yan picked up the "Shuguang" magazine on the coffee table. He patted it a few times in his hand. He smiled and said: "County magistrate. Anyway, my article has been reviewed. The editors and leaders of "Shuguang" magazine I'm not a fool. I dare to publish such an article. Isn't there some reason?
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the standing committee members Zhang Xu arrived in the small conference room of the county party committee office building. The county party secretary ** had been waiting in the conference room for a long time. His expression was very serious. The standing committee members also knew what was going on at this meeting. Everyone sat down in their seats with straight faces. No one said a word. They each took out their cigarettes and lit them. Soon, the conference room was filled with smoke.
County Magistrate Ma He arrived relatively late and was almost the last one to enter. He glanced at Yu Yan and saw that Yu Yan's seat was empty. His eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly, showing an unhappy look.
There are eleven members of the Standing Committee. When it reaches ten, Yu Yan is the only one missing.
As soon as the Standing Committee members came in, Xiao Zhou rushed to distribute the "Dawn" magazine to everyone. The county party committee and county government did not subscribe to so many "Dawn" magazines. Xiao Zhou temporarily found some magazines from the lower county units.
** coughed and said slowly: "Comrades are all here. Get ready for the meeting."
Ma Hezhu immediately said: "Secretary Zhang, wait a moment. The director of the Organization Department has not arrived yet.
** glanced at Ma He coldly and said, "No need. Yu Yan was not notified to attend this meeting."
Ma He pretended to be puzzled: "Why? Could it be that Yu Yan is no longer a member of the Standing Committee of our Taocheng County Party Committee?"
Just pretend.
** sneered in his heart and said secretly. Still keeping a straight face, he said in an emotionless voice: "Although Yu Yan is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Taocheng County Party Committee for the time being, he has made a serious mistake. I have informed him to suspend his duties and reflect. Make a deep self-examination. This meeting is to discuss how to deal with his mistakes. There is no need to notify him."
Ma He was displeased and said: "Secretary Zhang, I can't understand this at all. First, we don't know what serious mistake Yu Yan has made; second, even if Yu Yan really made a serious mistake, he must be punished. It must also wait for the county committee standing committee to make the final decision and then report it to the Antai Municipal Committee for approval before it can take effect. This is a basic organizational procedure and I believe Secretary Zhang will not forget it. No one has the power to let an organizational decision go before it is made. County Party Committee Standing Committee member suspended from office to reflect."
** remained unmoved at all and said with a hint of sarcasm: "County Magistrate Ma, I believe you should know what mistake Yu Yan made. Such a serious mistake. He must be suspended from office immediately. He cannot be used again. Wrong ideas and opinions are spread."
Ma He said with a straight face: "Secretary Zhang, I think what I just said has been made very clear. Any punishment for Comrade Yu Yan must be an organizational decision. No one can make it without authorization. Since this meeting When discussing how to punish Comrade Yu Yan, it is even more important to notify him to participate. Whether Comrade Yu Yan made a mistake or what mistake he made, there must be a clear result. He also has the right to defend his own behavior at the meeting. We held a meeting of the County Party Committee Standing Committee and deliberately excluded a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee appointed by a party organization at the top level. This is obviously inappropriate. I hope it will be more appropriate to hold the meeting after Comrade Yuyan arrives."
**Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, Ma He was still so tough. I don’t know what kind of soup Yu Yan gave him. He was so irrational. Several other members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee also looked at Ma He in surprise. Don't He, Ma He still understand what happened? This is a very serious political mistake.
"County Magistrate Ma. What we want to study is the mistake Yu Yan made."
** emphasized.
"Secretary Zhang, no matter what mistakes Yu Yan made, he is still a member of the Taocheng County Standing Committee before a formal decision is made. Since it is a standing committee meeting, he should not be excluded. Besides, if Yu Yan really makes a mistake If he made a mistake, then he should be notified to come to the meeting. We should point it out to him and let him realize the mistake he has made."
**'s face turned black. In his heart, he wanted Yu Yan to attend this meeting and give this guy a hearty beating. How satisfying. But ** also knew it. . Yu Yan is not a vegetarian. We really want him to attend this meeting. He will definitely not shut up.
At that time, it was another long speech. It was really annoying to **. Moreover, ** also felt that the "political consciousness" of these standing committee members in Taocheng County should not be overestimated. We were all old acquaintances and talked behind their backs. Yu Yan’s is not. That’s okay. As long as the ** puts forward suggestions for punishment and asks everyone to raise their hands. When Yu Yan is not present, the probability of passing is much greater. Once Yu Yan is present, maybe some members of the Standing Committee will not I'm sorry. I will neither take the initiative to criticize Yu Yan's mistakes, nor will I raise my hand to approve the punishment of Yu Yan.
When these people are able to shirk responsibility and avoid responsibility, they will definitely not be the first to do so.
It is our country's tradition to protect oneself with caution.
**Ya doesn’t want to see this happen.
Seeing that the two people had their own opinions and were in a stalemate, Li Xueyou, director of the National People's Congress, said slowly: "Secretary Zhang, I think we should notify Comrade Yu Yan to be present. Even if we want to criticize his wrong ideas, we should criticize him face to face. We should not criticize behind his back. .To punish him, we must also make him convinced."
Of all the people present here, except for ** and Ma He, only Li Xueyou is the official county-level leader. The official leader of the four major teams in the county. His words are still very weighty.
A sneer flashed across **'s face.
Okay. It's time now. You still want to do what the small mountain gang does?
Okay. Then let him come and see what you can do.
"Since Comrade Xueyou has the same opinion, well, Xiao Zhou, inform Yu Yan to come over for a meeting."
** ordered in a high-pitched voice that was obviously unnecessary. He called out Yu Yan's name, even omitting the word "comrade".
Xiao Zhou agreed quickly and hurried to the side to make a phone call.
Yu Yan didn't come too quickly. His office was on the second floor. Almost two minutes after Xiao Zhou made the call, Minister Yu came slowly with square steps. His face was very calm, and he didn't feel particularly unhappy. He didn't know how to smile. He came to his seat and sat down. Looking at the chairperson, he asked slowly: "Secretary Zhang, do we have two county committees in Taocheng County?"
**The corners of his eyes twitched. He asked coldly: "What do you mean?"
Yu Yan said calmly: "If there were not two county committees, I would still be the organization director of the Taocheng County Committee Standing Committee. Why did the standing committee convene without notifying me in advance? Does Secretary Zhang want to use his personal power to override the organization?"
** sneered: "Yu Yan. Based on the seriousness of the mistakes you have made, I think you must be suspended for reflection. The only topic we convened this standing committee is to resolutely fight against your wrong thoughts and wrong views. criticism. Don’t use your words. It’s meaningless. You’d better reflect on your mistakes.”
"Okay. I won't argue with you about the minor mistakes in the program. I'd rather see what comrade ** has to say. It can prove that I made a serious mistake. I'm all ears."
Yu Yan leaned back slightly, met **'s eyes, and said coldly.
Several members of the county committee's standing committee looked at each other.
A great person is a great person.
Up to this point, he is still so tough.
But then again, people who dare to publish such an article in "Dawn" must have a certain degree of confidence. It is definitely not a whim. When I think of this, everyone becomes more vigilant. Of course, there are still things in the middle. There is a reason, that is, the prestige of the Communist Party in Taocheng County has not been established at all. Except for Yunshan and Ren Dahua, there are not many close friends among the standing committee members of the county committee. Otherwise, everyone would not have this idea. Here In disputes over ideological and theoretical matters, personal prestige is a very important factor.
Looking at the several line disputes in the history of our party, the lofty prestige of leaders can always play a decisive role in determining the outcome at critical moments.
** looked at Yu Yan deeply. Then he turned his head and looked straight ahead. He said in a deep voice: "Comrades, everyone should already know the core content of today's meeting. Comrades, please open the "Dawn of Dawn" in front of you. "Magazine. There is an article published on this page. It was written by Yu Yan. The title is "On the Mistakes of Soviet Reform". The subtitle is "We must be a hundred times more vigilant against ambitious elements. Comrades, all read this article."
** said. He opened the "Dawn" in front of him.
In fact, in the morning, everyone here has read Yu Yan's masterpiece. It is impossible for everyone to pay attention to such a major political event. But now, in accordance with the request of **, I opened the "Dawn" in front of me. Magazine. Keep reading.
Such an article with clear views and sharp words, even though it is purely theoretical, is still read with great interest by everyone. While reading it, they sigh at Yu Yan's boldness. Of course, there are also people who secretly agree with Yu Yan's views in their hearts. But they will never Say it openly at this time.
**I am also reading the article carefully. He has highlighted many sentences in the article with a red pen. Undoubtedly, these are the ones he thinks are particularly outrageous. He specially selected them one by one when preparing for the meeting. Criticize it harshly. It’s better to familiarize yourself with it now. It saves you from having to lower your head to read the original text when you can. The momentum is somewhat lacking.
It is very necessary to hold such a criticism meeting with strong reason and stern words. First of all, we must suppress this arrogant and domineering and arrogant Yu Yan.
About ten minutes later, ** raised his head again. His eyes scanned the whole room and he said slowly: "Okay, comrades, we have finished reading. Let's talk about what you think about Yu Yan's wrong thoughts."
There was silence in the conference room.
No one said a word. Everyone looked intently at the article in front of them. It seemed that it was truly a masterpiece, and the meaning was still unfinished.
** had long expected this result. His eyes swept over the faces of Yunshan and Simon Yam, intentionally or unintentionally. They lingered on Yam Dahua’s face for a while. Naturally, Zhang hoped that Yam Dahua would stand up at the critical moment. .Fire a shot at Yuyan.
So far, the only ones who have really close contact with him among the county committee members are these two people. ** thinks that Ren Dahua should have this consciousness. After all, it was his ** who single-handedly promoted Ren Dahua's appointment to the Standing Committee. Otherwise, Yam Dahua is now They are still hanging around in the low-ranking position of deputy county magistrate. How can they not be as prosperous as they are now.
Unexpectedly, Ren Dahua didn't react at all. Maybe Director Ren was concentrating on the article written by Minister Yu and didn't pay attention to Zhang's eyes.
Damn thing.
** cursed secretly in his heart.
Acting crazy and acting stupid at the critical moment.
But it is not easy to get angry at this moment. I can only go into battle shirtless. In fact, this cannot be blamed on Simon Yam. In fact, the route issue is too sensitive. Let him make Yu Yan feel uncomfortable and debate in his daily work. Debate. It doesn't matter. It's just normal in official circles. But to fire the first shot on such a big issue of principle. Simon Yam, who has experienced that special decade, is not so stupid. Not long ago, Yu Yan's argument prevailed. It seems that That was the tone of ** at that time. Now it is completely reversed. He has become a conservative and ** has become a radical. How can Simon Yam know clearly what is right and what is wrong for a while? Simon Yam only knows that on this kind of issue He has made a mistake. If he is really punished by his superiors, let alone a deputy director-level cadre like him. Even the provincial party committee governor cannot handle it.
