Chapter 65 "News" on the toilet

Li Xiangyi likes to sit on the toilet and read the newspaper. His habit has been around for a long time.For many years, as the secretary of the municipal party committee of Xutian City, the first thing he did after getting up every morning was to rush into the bathroom, close the door, take off his pants, and then comfortably sit down on the toilet, conveniently Flipping through the newspaper of the day.His habit of "defecating with typefaces" was developed when he was a middle school teacher, so only his family members knew about it.The newspapers were delivered by the secretary early in the morning, and his wife folded them one by one for him and put them on a fixed square stool. At the same time, he also sharpened a pencil in case he needed to make circles.

After Li Xiangyi squatted down, the first thing he wanted to read was, of course, "People's Daily".He usually only reads "big headlines" and some "editorials" in this newspaper, mainly looking at "trends".Especially the changes in words, even though sometimes it is just one or two words, he will pay special attention.The next thing to turn over are two "references".One is called "big reference", which is an internal report for cadres at a certain level; the other is called "small reference", that is, "reference news".The "small reference" is for browsing, just pay attention to the "international situation"; the "big reference" is a little more detailed, mainly to understand the "dynamics" in China.Going down, he has to read the provincial newspaper carefully. For the provincial newspaper, he focuses on two aspects of reports, one is the speeches of the leaders of the provincial party committee, and the other is praise and criticism, especially the report on Xutian City. Almost every article has to be read and carefully read.After reading it, sometimes I have to make a circle, approve one or two opinions, and let the relevant departments circulate them.Finally, if he had time, he would look through the evening paper again to read "social supervision", "health knowledge" and so on.This generally takes about half an hour to forty minutes.Then, he will cough heavily, and at this time, his "urinal office" will come to an end.Therefore, Li Xiangyi moved several times later, and the only condition his wife put forward was that he must have "two guards".

However, in the past few days, Li Xiangyi spent more and more time in the bathroom, and when he came out, his face was stretched very long.That is, in the past few days, he suddenly discovered that there were more and more articles critical of Xutian City in the provincial newspaper, which could be described as endless. The day before yesterday, what he saw was a "dirty, messy, and poor" critical article, criticizing the sanitation conditions in Xutian City by name. It was still on the fourth page, and it was not very conspicuous.Immediately afterwards, another report criticizing Xu Tian came out, and this article was moved to the third page. ", saying that the case has not been solved yet... At the end of the article, there are words like this: "Xu Tian's social security situation can be seen."

What does it mean?It's ulterior motives.Further down, the smell of gunpowder became more and more serious. The article criticized the "321" project by name, and it even made it to the "front page"! The "321" project is a key project of Xu Tian. It is a water conservancy project financed by the World Bank and cost a lot of money.The title of the article actually used the word "black hole"!Today, another front-page headline has appeared, titled "Getting on and off the horse-Where did the 2 billion funds go?" ! ", the spearhead of this article can be said to be directed at Xutian Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, because this another key project with an investment of 2 billion was once grasped by Li Xiangyi himself.Especially the small bold words in the brackets at the end of the article made Li Xiangyi's blood pressure rise all of a sudden, and those words were like gunshots: "This newspaper will make further follow-up reports!"

Li Xiangyi is keenly aware that these articles have a background.The action is not small wow!Why did he criticize Xu Tian endlessly?Why is the article so sharp all of a sudden?This is abnormal, very abnormal.According to the usual practice, any article that criticizes a local government should be greeted to the local government before it is published in the newspaper, and the leader of the next local government should be consulted.That's great, Blitz?Surprise attack?It seems that "the mountain is about to come and the wind is full of the building"! This morning, after sitting on the toilet for a long time, Li Xiangyi felt dizzy, his limbs were numb, and his legs were as stiff as wood. He even stood up several times but couldn't stand up.

So, two words immediately popped up in Li Xiangyi's mind: hospitalization. Later, the blood pressure was measured, and it turned out to be 190 high.Then go to the hospital.At this time, there is only hospitalization.Hospitalization is to prevent problems before they happen, and to advance with retreat, which is also one of Lee Sang-ui's "leadership arts".In the past, every time there was a "major crisis", Li Xiangyi was hospitalized first.After Li Xiangyi was admitted to the advanced ward of the hospital, he immediately asked the secretary to call the propaganda minister.When the Minister of Propaganda arrived in a hurry, Li Xiangyi had already been defeated.The minister stepped into the ward and was about to say a few words of greeting. Unexpectedly, a stack of newspapers was scattered in front of his feet. The articles in those newspapers were all circled with red pens, which looked very eye-catching!Then, Li Xiangyi, who was always gentle and refined, suddenly yelled: "Bastards! A bunch of bastards!" The minister was startled, and stood there in a daze, tongue-tied, unable to even say a greeting.Then there was silence, a suffocating silence.

Later, Li Xiangyi asked: "Have you read those articles?" The minister murmured, "I see." Li Xiangyi said, "How do you feel?" Sweat fell from the minister's head, and the sweat gathered on the minister's forehead, like a big pumpkin covered with ants.The minister froze there for a long time before saying, "Secretary Li, it's because I didn't do my job well, and I... dereliction of duty." Li Xiangyi said in a sarcastic tone: "The newspapers are out, you say you are negligent?" After a while, he suddenly asked: "Have you been to Mount Lu?"

The minister was sweating profusely, startled for a moment, and hurriedly whispered, "I've been there." Li Xiangyi said again: "Have you seen the 'Immortal Cave'?" Then he said sharply, "Didn't you smell it? This is called 'the potential to blow up Lushan Mountain'!" The minister carefully explained: "In the past, the relationship with the provincial newspaper has always been very good, and the stationed reporters were all assigned cars. As soon as the newspaper came out, I immediately went to the stationed reporter, and he said he didn't write a word. What's going on, even he doesn't know..."

Li Xiangyi said: "What is this for?!" Then, his tone slowed down, and he said slowly: "If you don't want me to do it, I don't have to." The minister's heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly said, "Secretary Li..." After a while, Li Xiangyi suddenly instructed: "Check it out for me right away to see where the problem is. What channel? What background? Who instigated it?!" So, the minister wiped the sweat off his brow and hurried out again.His head was as big as a bucket. When he was going out, he bumped it and almost fell over! Twenty minutes later, the mayor arrived.The mayor glanced at the newspapers thrown on the ground, and stepped over with one step.The mayor said: "Secretary Li, the situation is very serious. The provincial bank just called and said that the loans for those two key projects have been frozen. Not only will they stop funding, they will also send people to review..."

Li Xiangyi smiled reluctantly, and said: "If you want to talk about 'black holes', where is there no 'black hole'? The market economy is a new thing, and you are crossing the river by feeling the stones..." Immediately afterwards, the head of the organization arrived, and he brought another news that the organization department of the provincial party committee was coming for the assessment.Originally, Xutian City was ranked 23rd, and it was going to be until the end of the year, but now it has moved ahead of schedule, ranking first... Li Xiangyi said silently: "Okay, let's shoot three arrows together."

The mayor said: "Secretary Li, we still have to run around in this matter, we can't just be beaten passively. Otherwise..." In front of everyone, Li Xiangyi waved his hand and said: "I know, now we are checking who has problems. If we don't check, there is no problem. If we check, there will be problems. The more we check, the more serious the problem is. In Xu Tian, ​​I am the monitor, and I am responsible Responsibility, you go." The mayor said: "I will go to the provincial capital now to find out the situation." Li Xiangyi remained silent.But ten minutes later, measure the blood pressure again, the high pressure is 210! That night, the Propaganda Minister returned from the provincial capital in a hurry.As soon as he got back, he went straight to the hospital. After entering the ward, the minister looked around but saw no one.After a while, there was a cough coming from the bathroom, followed by the sound of flipping newspapers.The minister hesitated for a moment, then reported to the bathroom door: "Secretary Li, the situation... I have basically figured it out." "The bathroom door" said, "Oh, go ahead." The minister stood by the bathroom door and said, "That... I'll wait." "The bathroom door" said: "You say it, you say it." So, the minister quickly closed the door of the ward, looked around, and then walked over to the small door and said, "Secretary Li, the situation has been basically figured out. The provincial newspaper is mainly composed of editor-in-chief Feng Yunshan." ...the provincial bank, it's the president Fan Bingchen...As for the provincial party committee, it's the director Qiu Jianwei...There is a reason for their sudden attack..." At this time, there was a sound of "squeaking" water in the bathroom, and then Li Xiangyi walked out from the bathroom with his trousers in his hands.He asked as he walked, "Is the news reliable?" The minister only said two words: "Reliable." Li Xiangyi said, "Can you brake?" The minister glanced at Li Xiangyi, shook his head shamefully and helplessly, and said, "We will see what we should see, and we will not make any concessions. The provincial bank means that the country's money can't just be wasted like this... The newspaper office means He said that he had received a lot of letters from the masses, and the reaction was very strong... However, at the dinner table, they all mentioned Hujiapu at the same time..." Li Xiangyi said angrily: "The masses? Who are the masses?" Li Xiangyi was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "There is no house thief that can't attract ghosts, what about your side?" The minister lowered his head and said, "I have something to do with an officer in the News Section..." Li Xiangyi said angrily: "What did you do? You have no discipline, so lock him up." Then he asked, "Have you gone to the internal reference?" "Not yet. I've done some work. But..." Li Xiangyi walked back and forth in the room a few times, and then said: "It doesn't look like an ordinary person to be able to use such a great force." The minister hurriedly said: "I think there is only one person who can do it..." Li Xiangyi waved his hand and said irritably, "I see." At night, Li Xiangyi sat alone on the sofa for a long time, and he specifically told his secretary that no matter who came to see him, he would never see him.He was going to sit down and think about it seriously.Now, he has understood the root of the matter, so let's see how he handles it.He knew that Lao Hu was a man with a big tree and deep roots, and only he could make such a big move... Besides, Hu Tiancheng didn't show up at all this time, he would even say that he didn't know anything, but once the provincial government tracked him down , Public exposure, the bank will follow the ass to repay the loan, such a big hole... At that time, he, the secretary of the municipal party committee, will really be done. So, in the middle of the night, Li Xiangyi hung up the phone and woke up Wang Huaxin who had already fallen asleep.It was already one o'clock in the morning when Wang Huaxin rushed to the hospital ward.He walked into the ward, only to see that it was dark inside, and the lights were not even turned on.Just when he was puzzled, he heard a "pop", and the floor lamp in front of the sofa turned on, and he saw Li Xiangyi sitting silently on the sofa with a sad face... He hurriedly said: "Secretary Li, it's so late , you still..." Li Xiangyi moved his body, waved his hands, and said with a sullen face, "Sit down." Wang Huaxin sat down on the other sofa anxiously. At this time, Li Xiangyi stood up, handed a stack of newspapers heavily to him, and said, "Let's have a look." Waiting for Wang Huaxin to read the stack of newspapers at a glance (mainly looking at the places circled with red pens) , raised his head and looked at him, Li Xiangyi said in a slow tone: "See?" Wang Huaxin said: "I saw." , I think this is premeditated..." Li Xiangyi said: "It's not a small thing to pull and mobilize the whole body." Then he said, "Do you know what a conspiracy is?" Wang Huaxin hurriedly said: "Secretary Li, The evidence for that matter is conclusive, and it is certain." Li Xiangyi continued: "I know this, and you know it too. To put it bluntly, it's all a conspiracy." Wang Huaxin immediately fell silent. Li Xiangyi said: "People use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. You hit yours and I hit mine. Some things seem simple, but they are actually very complicated. It is a big tree with too many years Well, the tree is big and deep-rooted, so I can't move it easily. You poked a wasp on the tree, and the tree swayed, and the sky was full of wind and rain, which made me very passive. Xu Tian's matter is not that I am soft, nor is it that I am afraid. Fifty-seven, what are you afraid of? But once the investigation is made, it is not a matter of one person. Politics, sometimes it is a running-in, and sometimes it is a compromise. Of course, of course, I can resist, I can also quit, this The municipal party committee can also be reorganized..." When he said this, Wang Huaxin was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Secretary Li, I don't mean that. I listen to the municipal committee, how do you decide how I execute it." Li Xiangyi said, "You really listen to me?" Wang Huaxin said, "Listen to you." Li Xiangyi pondered for a moment, and said, "Take a step back and open up the sea and the sky." Wang Huaxin couldn't help but said: "Secretary Li, letting the tiger go back to the mountain will cause endless troubles." Li Xiangyi said: "In the plains, dialectics still needs to be learned. Not only must one be divided into two, but one must be divided into three, one into four, and one into five. Be patient. Whoever occupies the time wins. By." At this moment, Li Xiangyi's wife woke up, turned her head to look, and exclaimed, "If you're not sleeping at this time, you're going to kill yourself?!" Li Xiangyi said sharply, "What do you know?"
