While serving in his highest office, this man ordered the song "March of the Volunteers" changed to be less militaristic in order to honor his predecessor. He became unpopular after issuing a statement pledging unwavering support for his predecessor's policies in an article called "Study the Documents Well and Grasp the Key Link," which was mockingly summarized as the "Two Whatevers" statement. This man became the minister of public security after helping to engineer the downfall of Lin Biao, and during his premiership, mass displays of mourning for his predecessor at the Monument to the People's Heroes resulted in the house arrest of his vice-premier. His most notable act as premier was ordering the arrest of Jiang Qing, thus ending the power of the Gang of Four. For 10 points, name this second Premier of the People's Republic of China, a successor of Zhou Enlai who briefly succeeded Mao as party chairman only to be outmaneuvered by Deng Xiaoping.
