Chapter 17: The evening mist of Qingzhou, the misty Qing River

The biggest difference from Western capitalist countries is that as an extension of the government's functions, radio, television stations, newspapers, magazines and other news media at all levels that serve socialist ideology as their main function must focus on the central work of the Party Committee and the government, and convey the lines, principles, policies, laws and regulations of the Party and the government in a timely and accurate manner to the general public, play a correct role in public opinion guidance, create a good propaganda atmosphere, and truly become the mouthpiece for communication between the Party Committee and the government.

And what is a mouthpiece?

Adhering to the superior intention, spreading policies, influencing public opinion, strengthening norms, and maintaining stability, this is the mouthpiece!

As a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, Wei Chenfeng is responsible for the specific work in publicity. This time, he left the Municipal Party Committee and unilaterally created and influenced public opinion, thus storing public opinion to put pressure on the investigation team, including Xu Fuyan, which completely violated the mouthpiece function of the official media and pushed himself to the forefront.

But for him personally, this risk is very necessary. The Qinghua Factory case was an internal cause, and Wei Gang was arrested for an external cause. What's more, Wei Gang had evidence of his corruption and bribery, so he had to take risks and fight back fiercely. The officialdom was like a battlefield. Sometimes, a step back would not only not be able to broaden the sky, but also could never turn over again.

After receiving Wei Chenfeng's call, Zhou Yuanting was silent for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement with him to operate. However, he posted a few editorials and organized discussions. He could not say that he violated the principle. He could test Xu Fuyan and the bottom line and layout. Whether it was a surprise or a rock to ask for directions, it was better than not doing anything, waiting for others to put the knife on their necks.

Wei Chenfeng was agreed to by Zhou Yuanting, and it was like taking a reassurance and boldly let go. Although the investigation team entered Qingzhou, the main leaders of the province have not yet made a clear statement. This ambiguous attitude shows that there are differences in the upper class, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of the differences. As long as you don’t make trouble in the province, even if Xu Fuyan is so angry that he is furious by public opinion, he will not be able to do anything to himself.

Standing Committee, what he said doesn’t count!

So this time, the Standing Committee was held suddenly, and everyone in the Zhou clan gathered together for the whole night to discuss it. The conclusions reached were nothing more than two points. First, the investigation team made major progress. Xu Fuyan wanted to inform the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China, and it might be necessary to arrest people and establish authority. From ancient times to the present, meetings and arresting people are the best means to paralyze the enemy and disarm the enemy, no doubt; first, because the public opinion trend deviated from his plan, it was necessary to rectify the situation and adjust Wei Chenfeng's position arrangements.

But if it was the first one, Xu Fuyan would probably not have such great courage. Besides, there was no news coming from there, so it would be impossible to suddenly reach the level of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee; the second point is that the possibility is very high, but what puzzled the Zhou people is that Xu Fuyan has been in Qingzhou for more than half a year. The only thing he got at the Standing Committee was the name of the secretary raising his hand, and there was nothing else. Even though today is not as good as before, the secretary raising his hand has the support of Yang Guangsheng, Niu Guiqing, Feng Wenxue and Liu Hongjian, the Standing Committee only has five votes, and it is impossible to have an advantage at all. No matter how high his hand is, he cannot change anything and he will only bring shame on himself!

Everyone was confused all night, and when they heard Xu Fuyan suddenly mention public opinion issues, they were shocked. Wei Chenfeng sneered in his heart. Everything was fake in the Standing Committee, but only the votes were true. He didn't believe that Xu Fuyan had a way to defeat him.

"I read the editorial of Qingzhou Daily. The author's writing skills are very good, but," Xu Fuyan put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and his deep and cold eyes slowly swept across everyone. Seeing Zhou Yuanting pause, he finally frozen on Wei Chenfeng's face. He suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "He generalized the whole story and took the truth out of context even more! What is Qinghua Factory? It involves the future families of more than 3,000 employees, the overall situation of reform and opening up in Qingzhou, and we are here.

These people and the faces of the six million ordinary people in Qingzhou! If you are not careful, you may push us to a cliff. It is not too much to be careful in this matter! A reporter, he has consulted so much information, asked how many people he has done research, and has done research? Take it for granted, slap his head and write an article, knowing how passive it has caused to our work? Minister Wei, your propaganda is such an unorganized and undisciplined. Is the Qingzhou Daily five-examination system going through the motions and pretending to be a facade?"

This was the first time Xu Fuyan was furious since he came to Qingzhou, and he was shocked to the entire conference room so that the needle was heard. When he saw Xu Fuyan's face full of smiles, nodded and said yes, and then raised his hand to agree to the Standing Committee members all fell into dullness. Everyone in the officialdom faced each other, which is not surprising. What is strange is that if Xu Fuyan did this, if he could not achieve his prestige, it would be a fatal blow to his already lacking prestige.

But seeing his joy and anger acting like a person, there is no point in the supreme priest, and he is deeply envious? It seems that everyone has thought too much, and Xu Fuyan is afraid that he is in chaos!

If you lose your temper, you can't control the Standing Committee!

Zhou Yuanting looked at Wei Chenfeng indifferently, and Wei Chenfeng immediately understood and said, "The editorial in Qingzhou Daily was written by a young lecturer from Qingzhou Normal University as a special commentator. He has always had unique insights on current affairs and hot issues, and has sharp writing style, profound comments, and is very popular among the public. So this time, there may not be specific analysis of specific problems in the review, and he made an empirical mistake; on the other hand, the newspaper editor lacks the overall overall situation of Qingzhou and his sensitivity to political events, and does not estimate the seriousness of the problem, which leads to such a thing. I have seriously criticized them, restricted orders to rectify, organized discussions internally, and made profound inspections..."

These words can be said to have slapped Xu Fuyan in the face and faced with the questioning of the top leader. Instead, they not only admit their mistakes in fear and fear, but also make a reasonable and well-founded one, two, three, four, and five, pushing all the problems to the people below. Even a light and profound check is the final punishment.

The attitude is so bad. If it were those otaku in later generations, they would definitely only think of two words: great!

There are not many propaganda ministers in the country who are confident to speak to the municipal party secretary like this, but Wei Chenfeng is definitely not one of them.

Xu Fuyan suddenly calmed down, and there was no change in expression on his face. As the respect of the secretary of the municipal party committee, he argued with Wei Chenfeng, and lost his identity, but weakened his momentum. Niu Guiqing knew that it was time to appear on the stage, so he coughed lightly and said, "I suggest that this lecturer suspend classes first. The Discipline Inspection Commission can intervene in and investigate to see if he has deep reasons, is he being instructed or has other purposes?"

Wang Lin, who had been rubbing the teacup, frowned and said, "It's just an article. You're nerd-like, just criticize it, there's no need to exaggerate it."

Feng Wenxue smiled and said, "You don't understand Lao Wang. Is the scholar real? Can a fool make such an article? I agree with Secretary Niu's opinion."

Liu Hongjian said: "Good, check it out. It's best to have no problems. If there is any problem, it's better to solve it in time to avoid being passive again."

Sun Ning is the deputy mayor in charge of education. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he put down the documents he had been looking through, and said, "Youth Teachers is a provincial-level college. It is feasible to make suggestions. Administrative orders to stop classes. Our level is not enough."

This debate seemed to be the Zhou faction, but in fact, the Xu faction successfully resolved Wei Chenfeng's quibbling. Xu Fuyan knew that he could not delay any more. When Zhou Yuanting reacted, he might have a way to stop the vote. He waved his hand and said, "In addition to the daily newspapers, there are radio, television stations and other media. The Qinghua Factory case has not yet reached a conclusion. He hastily made statements, completely ignoring the good situation of Qingzhou's stability and unity, and the party style and political discipline are seriously corrupt. In view of this, I think Comrade Wei Chenfeng is no longer suitable to serve as the Minister of Propaganda and is responsible.

The work of the propaganda department. Secretary Feng has solid theoretical knowledge, is good at dealing with various complex problems, and has control and understanding of the overall situation is enough to cope with the current situation. I propose that Comrade Wei Chenfeng be removed from his position as Minister of Publicity, no longer be in charge of publicity, spiritual civilization construction, news, publishing, and the work of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Federation of Social Sciences, and the specific division of labor will be discussed again. Secretary Feng will temporarily take charge of the publicity work, do a good job in the public opinion guidance and media publicity work of the investigation team during his time in Qingzhou, seriously deal with some troublemakers, carry out self-inspection and self-correction activities within the industry, and ensure the overall stability of Qingzhou."

Although he was prepared, Wei Chenfeng could not help but be beating wildly when he heard this proposal. His fingers were tightly clamped together, and his knuckles became pale due to the force, and he subconsciously looked at Zhou Yuanting.

"Secretary Xu, Minister Wei's work in the propaganda has been effective over the years, and has also been praised and recognized by the province and other brother cities. We must look at cadres dialectically, and we cannot generalize them in a single way, nor can we take them out of context. If you make a mistake, you will be beaten to death. There is a saying in Qingzhou that is good, do more mistakes, and do not do well. If this continues, who dares to do things and serve the people?" Zhou Yuanting had already tear his face with Xu Fuyan, and naturally he would not be polite when he spoke. Xu Fuyan responded with the words just now. Xu Fuyan smiled coldly and said, "Although I have not been in Qingzhou for a while, I have heard how the people describe the municipal party committee and government. What does dogs carry water, cats cook pots, rabbits wash their hands and pinch their nests, and rats laugh to death when they open the door? Those who are capable will go up, those who are mediocre will go down, and those who are not allowed to sit in the body and eat in a simple way, so that the people can point at the back and scold them!"

These words pointed to the hearts of the people, and everyone felt embarrassed and felt their faces were dull. Xu Fuyan continued: "Mayor Zhou has different opinions, so raise his hands to vote. The minority obeys the majority. Those who agree with my proposal, please raise your hand!"

First it was Niu Guiqing, then Feng Wenxue, and then Liu Hongjian. Yang Guangsheng, who had been taking notes of the meeting, stopped writing and raised his right hand. Chen Fei, the political commissar of the Qingzhou Military Sub-district, who attended the meeting, abstained without surprise.

Five votes came, and the atmosphere in the venue was suppressed to the peak. Zhou Yuanting suddenly felt a palpitation and felt danger for no reason, but he didn't know why.

On his left hand, Bai Changqian, who was next to the seat, slowly raised his hand.
