Jiang Zemin left suddenly, and his death attracted the attention of the world. When senior media person Liu Xiaosheng chatted with Lao Pantou and those young people, he impromptuly talked about the past events between Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin. Naturally, these past events and old news became the news of the times.

Liu Xiaosheng said: Ten years younger than Jiang Zemin, the current Hu Jintao is not so old that he loses his mind. History was receding into darkness before his eyes. People can't help but ask, is Hu Jintao, Deng Xiaoping's designated successor, anxious? I remember that shortly before he abdicated, Hu Jintao was the first top leader in the nearly 40-year history of the CCP to publicly shout the slogan of "preparing for military struggle". At that time, the Chinese navy occupied the tiny islands not far from the coast of the Philippines. This advance, which disturbed the South China Sea, was a major prelude that was played during Hu Jintao's tenure.

When Hu Jintao proposed the so-called "establishment of a new type of major-country relationship" to the United States, American politicians were not too stupid to hear Hu Jintao's subtext: China wants to distance itself from the United States, because maintaining a stable and friendly relationship with the United States is no different Is to invite a peaceful evolution or a color revolution. Obama responded immediately by excluding China from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Compared with Jiang Zemin's long-term background as a technocrat whose university education belongs to the Republic of China system, Hu Jintao has not been free from red indoctrination since the first day he entered Tsinghua University. It is his obsession and the ultimate goal of life to make the entire nation respect the Party as a god. Target. From the secretary of the Youth League Committee of Tsinghua University to the director of the Gansu Hydropower Bureau and then to the secretary of the Youth League Central Committee, every step of Hu Jintao's political career has unfortunately cast him into an "invulnerable" red party stick or an indestructible body.

In the past, people often lumped Hu Yaobang and Hu Jintao, the two CCP general secretaries surnamed Hu, together because they both had the same experience as the secretary of the Youth League Central Committee. Hu Yaobang read a large number of humanities, history and philosophy books before he rose to the position of general secretary, and kept this reading hobby until the end of his life. But I haven't seen any description that Hu Jintao has a penchant for reading widely. From this difference, there are probably two figures with completely different ideologies, one can clearly see that the life of the party lives in the real interests of the people and follows the trajectory of history. The other was completely sanctified and demonized by the "party spirit", mistakenly believing that "red" can be divorced from the people, from history and above truth, life and facts.

Hu Yaobang was not Hu Jintao's mentor. It was Song Ping, secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee at the time, who recommended Xiao Hu to return to Beijing to serve as secretary of the Youth League Central Committee. Song Ping later became the head of the organization of the CCP, and then was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Politburo to enter the core of power, so he was qualified to recommend successors to Lao Deng. Ten years after recommending Xiao Hu to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to Lao Hu, Song Ping recommended Xiao Hu to Lao Deng as his successor to become the core of the CCP's power and a member of the Politburo Standing Committee.

Liu Xiaosheng said: I read an article titled "Zhu Rongji's Bole is actually Song Ping and Chen's father and son". In fact, the old man Li Rui said that the books and articles of the "princelings" only introduced the relationship between Ma Hong, Zhu Rongji and Chen Yuan, and did not specifically analyze that both Ma Hong and Zhu Rongji benefited from Song Ping.

Mr. Li Rui said, you should study Song Ping carefully outside. Some people say that at the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Deng Xiaoping appointed Hu Jintao as the successor of General Secretary and Zhu Rongji as the successor of Premier. In fact, these two successors are in the final analysis Song Ping's "protégés": one was brought out from the Northeast in the early 1950s, and the other was promoted from the Northwest in the early 1980s. This shows how important Song Ping's influence on China's contemporary political arena is.

Mr. Li Rui also said that Song Ping, Ma Hong, and Zhu Rongji were all brought to the State Council by Gao Gang from the Northeast Bureau. Later, Ma Hong was unlucky, and then Zhu Rongji also became a rightist, but Song Ping was arranged by Chen Yun After leaving the Palm Organization Department, their good days came.

Li Rui is nearly 80 years old, but he has a super good memory. Not only does he clearly remember the process of Ma Hong being put on the candidate list for the 12th Central Committee in 1982, he also remembers that "this Ma Hong is only three years younger than me". Obviously, because of Song Ping's strong support, Ma Hong held on to the ministerial front position of the State Council until he was 73 years old before retiring to the second line.

Li Rui once said that according to normal procedures, after the 13th National Congress in October 1987, when Zhu Rongji was assigned to work in Shanghai, the head of the Central Committee at that time must have a personal conversation. The personnel arrangement at the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China appeared to be Deng Xiaoping's layout, especially when Zhao Ziyang officially became the general secretary, which was tantamount to Chen Yun and Li Xiannian's submission to Deng Xiaoping. However, the power of the party organization is actually completely controlled by Chen Yun's faction.

According to theory, this Song Ping was the veteran of the State Planning Commission of the Communist Party of China. In 1952, he followed Gao Gang from the northeast to Beijing and became a member of the State Planning Commission, Director of the Labor and Wage Planning Bureau of the Commission and Deputy Minister of Labor.

Zhu Rongji, who came to Beijing from the Northeast Bureau together with Song Ping, once had the experience of working as a secretary for a ministry leader. At that time, Zhang Xi, the executive deputy director of the State Planning Commission, was appointed by Mao Zedong himself. After Gao Gang's downfall, Zhang Xi was appointed as the secretary of the party group. Zhu Rongji has since become Zhang Xi's secretary. After Zhang Xi was diagnosed with cancer in 1957, Song Ping was promoted to deputy director of the Planning Commission. If Zhu Rongji hadn't been labeled a rightist before Zhang Xi's death in 1959, he would probably have been transferred to Song Ping's secretary.

At that time, Zhu Rongji was classified as a "rightist" and he was indeed "wrongly classified", because he did not say a word of "anti-party" speech, but he was dismissed because he was the leading secretary at the meeting to help the party "rectify". I had to speak at the roll call, and I had to say a few words that were not painful or itchy. The general content was that some leaders of the State Planning Commission and local provincial and municipal planning commissions often did not do serious research and research when preparing plans and budgets, and only listened to the reports of their subordinates. , Just looking at the data given by the subordinates, it is quite different from the actual situation. This kind of subjectivism is growing and spreading, and it is harmful to the work of the State Planning Commission....

A retired veteran cadre who worked with Zhu Rongji in the State Planning Commission recalled later: "He was misclassified, and he should not have been there, but at that time, there were indicators for the rightists. Pull him up."

After the anti-rightist struggle, Zhu Rongji was sent to the lower levels. Song Ping was the deputy director of the National Planning Commission until the end of 1962. He was assigned to "support the third front" and served as a member of the Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China and director of the Planning Commission of the Northwest Bureau; secretary). After Jiang Qing and others were arrested in 1976, Xian Henghan, who was then the first secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee, was branded an "agent of the Gang of Four in Gansu". Wrote a letter of allegiance. As a result, Song Ping was promoted to the first secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee, and in this position became a member of the 11th Central Committee.

At the beginning of 1981, Chen Yun transferred Song Ping to Beijing by name and served as the deputy director of the State Planning Commission in charge of daily work; two years later, he was promoted to the deputy state level and became a state councilor and director of the Planning Commission of the so-called "Zhao Ziyang Cabinet".

After Hu Yaobang was overthrown in 1987, Chen Yun couldn't wait to replace the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee with his most trusted "old comrade". Therefore, the strangest form of job arrangement in the history of the CCP's ruling history appeared. As a State Councilor, he also serves as the Organization Minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Wei Jianxing, who was replaced as the head of the Central Committee, has been criticized by the outside world as "being implicated politically by Hu Yaobang". However, the rumors from within the Organization Department of the Central Committee are that Wei Jianxing, who was originally quite satisfied with Chen Yun, only dissatisfied Chen Yun with one matter, and this matter was too important, that is, Chen Yun's "adopted son", Chen Yun Yuan's "upper brother" Liu Zepeng has not been promoted during Wei Jianxing's tenure as the head of the Central Committee.

Liu Xiaosheng said: In the relevant books and articles written over the years, Qiao Shi and Wei Jianxing have always been described as "people from Yaobang". But in the future, a retired veteran cadre of the CCP who had worked in the Central Organization Department for many years said that simply describing Qiao Shi and Jian Jianxing as "Yaobang people" is a statement that only knows one thing and does not know the other. In fact, who was the initial nominee for the promotion of Qiao Shi was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that he could successfully pass Chen Yun's inspection. Chen Yun, who even had more say than Deng Xiaoping in the CCP’s high-level personnel issues, had “natural political trust” in Qiao Shi, because Chen Yun and Qiao Shi were both from Shanghai’s underground party before the establishment of the CCP. The former was responsible for organizing the "labor movement" in the Shanghai underground party in the 1930s, and the latter was responsible for launching the "student movement" in the 1940s. In fact, Chen Yun's political trust in Jiang Zemin was based on the fact that Jiang Zemin was also from the underground party in Shanghai.

As for Wei Jianxing, he first benefited from Qiao Shi's respect for him, and Qiao Shi's political trust in him was also due to his experience in the underground student party in Shanghai before the establishment of the Communist Party of China. Moreover, both of them were admitted to the High School Attached to Shanghai Guanghua University from their hometowns when they were 16 years old. After entering the school, they secretly joined the CCP or its peripheral organizations. After Qiao Shi joined the Secretariat of the Central Committee in 1982, the division of labor included organizational work and "group" work. After Wei Jianxing was transferred from the Northeast to Beijing at that time, he first served as the vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the secretary of the secretariat and the deputy secretary of the party group. Speaking of which, although Wei Jianxing was highly valued by Qiao Shi, then Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and head of the Central Organization, he arranged him to be his executive vice minister. However, it was not a pre-arranged process that Wei Jianxing took over Qiao Shi's ministerial post one year after entering the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but an "accident".

From April to May 1985, the entire Zhongnanhai was alarmed by the defection of Yu Qiangsheng, a director of the Ministry of State Security, to the United States. As we all know, this Yu Qiangsheng is the elder brother of Yu Zhengsheng, who once served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, and the eldest son of Huang Jing, the ex-husband of the former "First Lady of the People's Republic of China" Jiang Qing.

After Yu Qiangsheng's defection happened, Deng Xiaoping immediately invited Chen Yun and Li Xiannian to his home for discussion. After the three reached an agreement, he asked General Secretary Hu Yaobang, other members of the Politburo Standing Committee and members of the Central Political and Legal Committee leading group to come to Qinzheng Hall (Central Secretary Office and the Office of the Central Political and Legal Committee) held a meeting to convey the opinions of the three elderly people. The main content is to hold the Political and Legal Committee accountable, to hold the Ministry of State Security accountable, to remove Chen Pixian from his part-time job as director of the Central Political and Legal Committee, and to be only responsible for liaising with the National People's Congress in the Secretariat of the Central Committee; to remove Ling Yun from the position of Minister of State Security, and to change his name from the He was removed from the list of Central Committee members proposed by the Party's National Congress.

On this basis, Qiao Shi, as the secretary of the Central Secretariat, concurrently served as the secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee, and arranged to be added as a member of the 12th Central Political Bureau at the Party's National Congress. He was added as vice premier of the State Council, responsible for leading the political and legal, judicial, public security and intelligence work of the whole party and the whole country.

There is no doubt that after such a major political event as Yu Qiangsheng's defection, the political credibility of the person in charge of the political and legal system has been raised to an unprecedented height. The reason why Qiao Shi was selected from the ready-made secretariat of the Central Committee is undoubtedly because of his experience in the Shanghai underground party.

According to Zha Qiaoshi's resume, in the second half of the 1940s, one of the positions he held was "General Communications Officer of Shanghai Underground Party Education Committee". Because the members of the CCP’s urban underground party used to have the so-called “single-line connection”, so this position of “general transportation” means that Qiao Shi was extremely reliable in the Shanghai underground party of the CCP.

As for Wei Jianxing, who was recommended by Qiao Shi in 1985 after he was transferred from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Chen Yun was politically reassured not only by his Shanghai underground party experience like Qiao Shi’s, but also by his work experience in the All-China Federation of Trade Unions before entering the Organization Department of the Central Committee. The topic of "common interest" between him and Chen Yun. When Qiao Shi led Wei Jianxing to visit Chen Yun's residence for the first time in 1984, Wei Jianxing called "Old Chairman" and called Chen Yun elated. Because when the CCP established its own All-China Federation of Trade Unions, Chen Yun was the first chairman.

Mr. Hu Jiwei once said that Wei Jianxing was "ignorant" at Chen Yun's place.... Thinking about it now, it should mean that after Wei Jianxing was promoted to the head of the Central Committee, he didn't, or he deliberately pretended not to understand Chen Yun's hint to promote his "adopted son". As a result, at the beginning of 1987, Chen Yun had already made up his mind to let Song Ping, who was most likely to carry out his organizational intentions 100%, take over the Central Organization Department. For Deng Xiaoping, let Song Ping enter the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the 13th National Congress.

Liu Xiaosheng said: What happened next was that Chen Yun couldn't wait to find a suitable candidate for the successor of the director of the State Planning Commission. So Yao Yilin, who was the vice premier of the State Council at the time and had served as the director of the State Planning Commission before Song Ping, was asked to take back the post of director of the Planning Commission first. In May 1987, Song Ping was appointed as the State Councilor of the State Council concurrently as the Minister of the Central Committee. The purpose was to let him participate in all personnel arrangements above the alternate Central Committee member of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as soon as possible.

After Song Ping took office in the Central Organization Department, the first personnel arrangement he made within the Central Organization Department was to promote Liu Zepeng, then deputy secretary-general of the Central Organization Department, to deputy minister. Liu Zepeng is Chen Yun's "adopted son" and Chen Yuan's "upper brother".

According to Chen Yun's wishful thinking at the time, from the 13th National Congress to the 14th National Congress, Song Ping would control the power of the central organization on his behalf. When the 14th National Congress is held and the Central Advisory Committee completes its historical mission, Song Ping, who is already old, can "take it as a matter of course." He handed over the position of Minister of the Central Organization to Liu Zepeng.

Before the Thirteenth National Congress, it was a strange arrangement for Song Ping to concurrently serve as the head of the Central Organization as the State Councilor of the State Council.

What is even more strange is that Song Ping, who had been ordered to preside over the central organization work before the 13th National Congress, was assigned to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the First Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee, but was not assigned to the Central Secretariat.

Under normal circumstances, members of the Central Secretary include the director of the Central General Office, the head of the Central Organization, the head of the Central Propaganda Department, the head of the Central United Front Work Department, the first deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission. For this reason, there was a saying in the outside media that Zhao Ziyang refused Chen Yun's confidant Song Ping to enter the Central Secretariat. But the fact is exactly the opposite. It was because of Chen Yun's single-handed arrangement that Song Ping, who succeeded the head of the Central Committee, was appointed as a member of the 13th Politburo, but did not join the secretariat.

At the Thirteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China at that time, in the party constitution of the Twelfth National Congress, "the Central Secretariat handles the daily work of the Central Committee under the leadership of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and its Standing Committee" was changed to: "The Central Secretariat is the Central Political Bureau and its Standing Committee. The executive body of the Standing Committee; members are nominated by the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and approved by the plenary meeting of the Central Committee." The Party Constitution of the Twelfth National Congress stipulates that "the general secretary of the Central Committee is responsible for convening meetings of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and Presiding over the work of the Central Secretariat" has not been changed.

Liu Xiaosheng sighed and said: At the Thirteenth National Congress, Song Ping, who was qualified as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, was deliberately prevented from entering the Secretariat of the Central Committee as the head of the Central Organization. No, in fact, it is clear that the work of the central organization is directly responsible to the Central Advisory Committee led by Chen Yun.
