"Ruolan, please rest, the general secretary is here."
A mellow voice sounded behind the two people, and Lin Tianhua walked in.
Lu Rui sighed. He knew that the Lin family still didn't want him and Lin Ruolan to appear here. Although they usually didn't object to the two of them accompanying the old man, when the leader came, they both needed to avoid it. He glanced at it in a blink of an eye.
Glancing at the old man on the bed, Lu Rui pulled Lin Ruolan towards the door.
He knows very well that the current leaders of the central government have a very high opinion of Mr. Lin. It must be admitted that at this time, the old man's influence is so extensive and huge, but this does not mean that the Lin family is safe and sound.
The approval of the leaders does not necessarily mean official approval. At least Lu Rui knew that Lin Fengtian and Lin Pojun had been staying at the Central Office for three days for the obituary of the old man.
Whether it is evaluation or wording, even every small detail must be rigorously debated. This is politics. An obituary that is very ordinary in the eyes of the outside world actually involves a final conclusion, and the political significance makes every word and sentence very important.
It should be carefully considered.
When leaving, Lu Rui was willing to see Chairman Chen.
"Grandpa is gone, he should be the happiest, right?" A cold voice sounded from behind several people. Lu Rui turned around, only to see Lin Tianping looking over there with an arrogant look.
Following his gaze, Lu Rui saw Chairman Chen walking into the ward with a serious face, accompanied by Lin Pojun and Lin Fengtian.
Shaking his head, Lu Rui held down Lin Ruolan who wanted to say something, turned and walked towards the door. There was no need to interrupt at this time. If Chairman Chen was really such a superficial person, how could he have reached this position today?
A big shot at this level will not think about problems solely based on selfish desires. As some people speculated, the people above are relieved now. After all, a towering mountain that has been in their hearts for many years has finally disappeared. No matter who it is, they will applaud and applaud.
Such a statement is pure nonsense.
After the death of Mr. Lin, the political landscape of Beijing and even China will definitely undergo a reshuffle. Although Lu Rui has been accompanying him in the hospital during this period, he has already come to a conclusion in his heart. At this time, although
It seems to be peaceful and a balance is maintained among the various factions, but if you think about it, you will know that once the old man leaves, there will inevitably be great changes. First of all, the core battle for the next generation of leaders will inevitably become more intense. As for what will happen in the end?
Lu Rui didn't know what the outcome would be.
The knowledge he once had that was ahead of ordinary people has gradually disappeared, because this world is no longer the same as the one he knew. The only thing he can do is to keep walking along the current path.
Reach the pinnacle of life.
Walking on the road, Lu Rui kept seeing people from the Lin family looking at him and Lin Ruolan. Their faces were full of expressions of severity, concern or fear. Lu Rui sighed. As soon as the old man left, the entire Lin family seemed like
It's like losing its backbone.
During this period of time, Lu Rui had heard too many bad rumors about the Lin family. Yes, once the old man left, the glory of the Lin family was gone. Lin Fengtian had retired, but Lin Pojun and Lin Chunyang had not been able to
Enter the center. There is an idiom that goes: prosperity leads to decline. The Lin family was too powerful at first and was too jealous and jealous. The more powerful the family, the more difficult it is to withstand internal and external risks when encountering major changes.
At this moment, the Lin family is really on the cusp of a storm. What will happen in the future? Who knows?
For such a situation, Lu Rui guessed that Lin Fengtian should have been prepared for a long time, otherwise how could he cooperate with the Huang family? After all, although the old man has a good relationship with the Tuanxi, most of the civilian cadres in the Tuanxi
In the eyes of big families like the Lin family and the Huang family, they are representatives of a certain kind of bureaucratic group. Once the older generation passes away, no matter how the superiors identify with them, the upper management will inevitably take measures to weaken and eliminate the existence of this kind of bureaucratic group.
measures.
The problem with traditional Chinese politics does not lie with the emperor, let alone the common people, but with the bureaucracy. Why? Under the traditional political structure of monarch, minister, father and son, the common people cannot control the bureaucracy, but although the emperor has legal rights,
Although it has great power, it actually lacks the means to restrain the bureaucracy.
In today's republic, special interest groups (bureaucratic groups) have become the most urgent obstacle to be bypassed in the reform process and the most urgent mountain to be removed. It is also an issue of political system reform and power supervision that cannot be avoided by lame reforms.
Once the bureaucracy became an indispensable and important part of the national governance machine, it developed its own independent interests outside of political leaders and the people. From ancient times to the present, this is almost an iron law, and there is no need to say more. Therefore,
There are good reasons to regard the bureaucracy as an economic man who tends to maximize interests under given conditions. In China, due to the lack of the most basic checks and balances mechanism, the bureaucracy has almost become the only means of national governance, and its impact on society
This tradition has not changed slightly due to modernization. In this way, the Chinese bureaucracy, which monopolizes all governance resources, not only serves as an important initial condition for China's reform, but also serves as the most dynamic factor in China's reform.
It has had a decisive influence on China's reform path from beginning to end. It can be clearly seen that the bureaucracy has always been the only powerful group with the ability to take collective action in the entire reform process, and its attitudes and actions have been secretly regulating China's reform process.
Throughout the reform, there are three main calculations of interests, or three main motivations for behavior, hidden in the economic rationality of the Chinese bureaucracy. They are: maximizing the personal economic interests of the bureaucracy; catering to the political requirements of superiors, or
Maximizing political interests; and maximizing the expansion of local or departmental financial capabilities. In more popular terms, it means promotion, making a fortune, and expanding territory.
Bureaucratic economy has replaced the basis of the market from "rights" to "power", and replaced the center of the market from the rights of citizens and organizations to the power of bureaucratic monopoly. Then, such a market has actually become a "competition for power".
"market. That is to say, this kind of market identifies the "best ones" based on the size of their power and their distance from various power centers. In this way, in the Chinese market, such a competitive pattern has emerged
: The closer to power, the stronger the competitiveness, and vice versa. Because the power center is the credit center, the capital center, and the information center. Power is like a black hole, attracting various resources to itself. Chinese traditional
Significant changes have occurred in state-owned enterprises and new private enterprises. They have moved closer to bureaucrats from both ends of the spectrum. The result is that official businessmen have gradually appeared in China, that is, officials rely on their own power to help and support some enterprises.
Develop and grow, and then obtain economic benefits and political achievements from it.
Lu Rui gradually summarized these things after his rebirth, combined with many things he saw in his previous life. He knew very well that many cadres from the regiment were from civilians and did not have such a family background.
This also determines that many of them, as long as they have power in their hands, will inevitably embark on the path of weakening the family bureaucracy. Sooner or later, the struggle between the two will begin, and how will they choose?
Perhaps, it was something that Mr. Lin and Mr. Zhou had planned long ago when they allowed themselves to get closer to the league and become key cadres trained by the league?
Sitting in the car, Lu Rui sighed softly and stroked Lin Ruolan beside him. After losing the old man's protection, he had to figure out many things by himself. No one would give him advice anymore. That kind of sudden
The pressure that came was suffocating, but Lu Rui's mind seemed to have never been so clear before. He thought silently and took Lin Ruolan back to the villa.
Night gradually enveloped the capital. Neither Lu Rui nor Lin Ruolan had eaten. The recent events had made them both physically and mentally exhausted. Lu Rui was slightly sleepy. He leaned on the sofa and squinted his eyes to rest. The TV in front of him flashed with snowflakes and was silent.
's flashing.
"Ring, ring, ring!" A burst of urgent phone calls broke through the tranquility of the night. Lu Rui stood up in excitement, grabbed the phone and pressed the connect button. Lin Tiannan's anxious voice came from the phone: "Tell Ruolan
,Grandpa woke up!"
Lu Rui suddenly shuddered and jumped up from the sofa. He picked up Lin Ruolan, who was also surprised, and ran outside while saying: "Grandpa is awake, come with me!"
Lin Ruolan was stunned for a moment, then followed Lu Rui regardless and ran outside.
By the time the two of them got to the hospital, a large group of people from the Lin family had gathered outside the ward. Lin Fengtian, Lin Chunyang, and Lin Pojun, the three giants of the Lin family, stood in front of the old man's bed, not knowing what to say.
What are you talking about? Outside the door is a large group of men and women, all juniors of the Lin family.
Seeing Lu Rui and his wife coming, Lin Tianping snorted: "What are you doing here?"
Lin Tianhua gave him a cold look and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! Grandpa loves Ruolan the most, why can't she come?"
At this moment, Lin Chunyang inside seemed to see Lu Rui and others outside, and said a few words to Lin Fengtian and Lin Pojun. Then Lin Pojun walked out, glanced at Lu Rui expressionlessly, and said deeply
The voice said: "You and Ruolan come in, everyone else is waiting outside."
Lu Rui and Lin Ruolan nodded, and walked into the ward amidst the jealous looks of others.
When Lin Ruolan hurried to the bed in the ward and saw her grandfather's slightly opened eyes and his lips that seemed to be murmuring but only slightly moving as if he wanted to say something, her heart felt like a knife, her eyes instantly became moist, and her tears could no longer be controlled.
Unable to stop, he lay down beside the old man's hospital bed like a child, crying loudly.
