As expected, after shaking things up, Zeng Taiping no longer held control. The overall situation as described by Fang Yuan was indeed correct. Even Zeng Taiping did not have control of the Standing Committee meeting. Of course, this could also be interpreted as Zeng Taiping not daring to take control.
After all, if a provincial-level Standing Committee was absolutely controlled by a single individual, it would certainly draw the Central Committee's displeasure, and the inevitable result would be the transfer to a different location or a department of the Central Committee. Zeng Taiping did not wish to go to a Central Committee department where he would not be as comfortable as he was in his own locality, so naturally, he did not dare to take control.
