While Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and their comrades were working around the clock, Jiang Qing and her gang were not idle. Despite being criticized again by Mao for the“Feng Qing Lun Incident”, despite being rejected by Mao for her attempts to form a cabinet, and despite being suggested by Mao that Deng should be given a key position, Jiang and hergang remained unrepentant. They still had Wang Hongwen in the foreground and had been appointed by Mao to work with Zhou on the preparations for the 4thNational People's Congress, and were still in a position to make a big deal out of the key issue of “cabinet formation”. November 12, Jiang wrote to Mao, nominating Xie Jingyi to be vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Chi Qun to be the Minister of Education, and Mao Yuanxin,Chi and Xie to be members of the Politburo, who could begroomedas “successors”. In the letter, Jiang made a show of forming a cabinet by herself. Mao read the letter and wrote backon the same day, clearly rejecting Jiang's request: “Don't show up, don't read over documents, don't let you form a cabinet (as a backstage boss). You have accumulated a lot of grievances and need to unite the majority. Hereby advice.”After writing this, Mao felt that the words were not enough, and wrote again: “It is important to know one's own limitations. Postscript.”On the 19th, Jiang wrote to Mao in the name of self-criticism, writingthat “some strange and shocking things that I am horrified to realize.”And wrote: “Since the 9thNational Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, I am basically idle, I have not been assigned any work, and now even more so.’ Jiang was making a pretense of reaching out to Mao for an official position in the name of complaining about his suffering. Seeing that Jiang was so stubborn, Mao wrote again on the 20th to criticize her:“Your duty is to study developments at home and abroad, and this is already a big task. I have told you this many times, don't say there is no work. This is my enjoin.”Jiang turned a deaf ear to Mao's exhortation and brought Wang Hairong and Tang Wensheng to convey to Mao her opinion on the personnel arrangement, that is, Wang should be the vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, after Zhu De and DongBiwu. Upon hearing Jiang's “opinion”, Mao Zedong told Wang and Tang: “Jiang is ambitious. She wants to ask Wang to be the Chairman of the Committee and herself to be the Chairman of the Party.”Mao told Wang and Tang to tell Zhou: The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, should arrange Song Qingling after Zhu and Dong; Deng, Zhang Chunqiao and Li Xiannian to become Vice Premiers of the State Council. Zhou was to preside over the arrangements for the others.
