Li Runji heard that Secretary Lu said that Zhou Jiqing should not be taken down yet, and asked a little strangely: "Secretary Lu, Zhou Jiqing is making such a fuss now, and his arrogance is so arrogant. Now he is preparing to punish Guo Guangwei, Liang Tang, Chen Guitian and others, and We also need to torture Ye Ming. If we let it continue, I'm worried that we will not be able to end it. If Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua cannot withstand the pressure of the interrogation and explain to the task force that Guo Guangwei arranged for them to help Ye Ming and Gong Zhichao, not only Guo Guangwei will be in trouble. There is no guarantee that Ye Ming will be imprisoned. Therefore, I think our top priority is to eliminate Zhou Jiqing, control the Xinleng task force, and try to release Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua as soon as possible, so as to ensure that Guo Guangwei and Ye Ming will not be charged.
"Moreover, I just read Li Qian's confession materials. The facts about Zhou Jiqing's disciplinary and law violations are clear and the evidence is conclusive. And based on Li Qian's confession alone, the amount of bribes they jointly accepted is very huge, enough to put him in jail. "Look, the central government's anti-corruption efforts are so strong now. I believe that as long as you report Zhou Jiqing's problem to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he will definitely be investigated and punished. In this case, we can save a lot of trouble,"
Secretary Lu shook his head and said: "Runji, I can understand your mood. I will only tell you one thing: sometimes, it is a state to lead without sending out, and it is a good state. We have caught Zhou Jiqing's fox now. The tail can be cut off at any time, but whether to cut it off or not, and when is the best time to cut it off requires us to make the best choice and judgment. I have thought about it repeatedly. Under the current circumstances, whether it is Zhou Ji Qing, Xie Hongda and Wang Hai, we all just hold their fox tails, but do not kill people. We must maintain a high-pressure state with swords hanging above their heads but without triggering them. We must first knock off their arrogance and kill them. They must be governed obediently and we will consider punishing them later.
"Why should I do this? The reasons behind this, I have already told you in general last time, and now I will tell you briefly: First, I have been working in Tianjiang for just over a year, and my first priority is to maintain Tianjiang. The overall situation of provincial government that is coordinated by people and harmonious and stable cannot be carried out soon after the establishment of a large-scale purge of political opponents. In that case, both the central and local governments will have opinions about me and think that I am a dictator and someone who cannot be tolerated. Man, if that's the case, how can I still gain a foothold in Tianjiang?
"Second, you should also be clear: when it comes to investigating and punishing provincial and ministerial-level cadres like Zhou Jiqing, especially since he is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection does not have the final say in the central government and must be reported to the Central Political Bureau Organizational measures can be taken only if the bureau and all members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo have unanimously approved it. Of course, organizational measures must be taken against Zhou Jiqing, who has conclusive evidence of violations of disciplines and laws. All members of the Politburo Standing Committee, including those who are willing to The members of the Standing Committee who protect him will definitely not speak for him. However, it is one thing for these leaders not to speak for Zhou Jiqing, but it is another matter whether they have opinions and views on me. In that case, even if Zhou Jiqing I was investigated and punished, but in the minds of some leaders of the Standing Committee, I would definitely leave the impression that I disrespected them and was intolerant of others, which was not good for me.
"Thirdly, next year will be the year for the reelection of the party committee, which is held every five years. It is only a few months away. If I take action against Zhou Jiqing and others at this time, it will inevitably leave a bad impression on people to eliminate dissidents and establish comrades.
, and the central government is very vigilant and disgusted with this kind of behavior that the party agrees with and opposes dissidents. I don’t want to be criticized by others at this critical moment. Moreover, when the party committee is about to change its term, we cannot allow big changes to occur in the provincial party committee.
turbulence, so as not to affect the transition work,"
When Li Runji heard this, he finally understood Secretary Lu's good intentions. At the same time, he also vaguely guessed: Secretary Lu is not investigating and punishing Zhou Jiqing and others now, because he may be mainly considering next year's party committee general election, because many people are
Said: At next year’s National Party Congress, Secretary Lu is likely to attend
Political Bureau of the Central Committee, under this situation, Secretary Lu must maintain a good relationship with the current members of the Politburo Standing Committee and cannot offend any of them. Otherwise, even if he has strong support from the No. 1 leader, he will not be able to join the Politburo.
His wishes are likely to be rejected by those leaders of the Standing Committee who are dissatisfied with him.
Therefore, Secretary Lu cannot yet think of taking action against Zhou Jiqing and other people who have backing and support in the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, lest it arouse the suspicion and dissatisfaction of those Standing Committee members and affect his own political future...
Of course, Li Runji's speculations and thoughts could only be passed around in his own mind, and he did not dare to tell Secretary Lu.
Therefore, after listening to Secretary Lu's three reasons, he just nodded, and then asked him: "Secretary Lu, how should we deal with these illegal and criminal evidence of Zhou Jiqing now? Team Leader Jin of the Central Inspection Team,
What should we tell them,"
Secretary Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Bring those materials over later. I'll take a closer look in the afternoon. I'll talk to Zhou Jiqing alone in the evening. As for Team Leader Jin, I invited him to dinner yesterday.
He said: The situation in Tianjiang is very complicated now, and the party committee is facing a change. Therefore, I still want to focus on stability and do not want to go to war to disturb the current team for the time being. I ask him to consider the actual situation in Tianjiang and temporarily transfer Zhou Jiqing's
Suppress the problem.
"Of course, Zhou Jiqing's problem is so serious that it is impossible not to investigate and deal with him. However, I ask the Central Inspection Team to consider the timing of the investigation. It is best to delay it a little. Team Leader Jin said that he fully respects my opinion.
We will suppress Zhou Jiqing's problem for the time being and wait for the best time to investigate and deal with it, so don't worry about this matter."
Secretary Li knew that Secretary Lu now had a plan in mind, so he said nothing and left.
When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Secretary Lu personally called Zhou Jiqing and told him to come to his office that evening and that he had something important to discuss with him.
Since Zhou Jiqing contradicted Secretary Lu at the Standing Committee meeting yesterday, and Secretary Lu did not react violently, he mistakenly thought that Secretary Lu was a little afraid of him now, so his confidence and complacency suddenly increased.
Now, when he heard Secretary Lu take the initiative to talk to him, he thought that he was going to talk to him about the Xinleng 5.16 major case, and he probably wanted to say good things for Li Runji, Guo Guangwei and others. He couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. I thought about you Lu
Zhiyao also comes to me one day to plead for mercy and say good words to me. It seems that my fighting strategy is still very effective. At least, Lu Zhiyao, who has rarely looked at me in the eyes, now takes the initiative to come to me for a heart-to-heart talk.
