"Doctor Wang, just say, is my dad already ......" Zhang Xiaoru said at the end, covering her mouth tightly, for fear that she would cry bitterly.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, he has left peacefully." Wang Shishan nodded sadly.

When he said this, Zhang Xiaoru couldn't hold back anymore, crying bitterly, as strong as Zhang Guozhong, and even more shaky at the moment, the hand holding Gu was trembling.

Outside the emergency room, there were two men in suits, they were just standing in the corner, looking very inconspicuous, because they were not members of the Zhang family, but at this moment, after confirming that Mr. Zhang had passed away from Wang Shishan's mouth, the two of them were also deeply shocked in their eyes, they were the staff of the General Office of the Central Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Central Office), and they were responsible for keeping abreast of Mr. Zhang's situation in the hospital, and they had to regularly report the news to their superiors every day, and the Central Office would also notify several senior leaders as soon as possible.

At this time, both of them walked out in a hurry, this was undoubtedly earth-shattering news, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and they had to report the news in time.

Undoubtedly, before Mr. Zhang fell into a coma, although everyone also speculated that Mr. Zhang was afraid that he would not last long, but this' How long is it a month or two months, or a year or two, no one can say, but there is an undeniable fact that even if Mr. Zhang is in a coma, as long as he has not really died, then he still has an irreplaceable status and influence, in a word, not dying and dying are two different things, hospitalized for more than a month, and passed away today, this news can still shake the top of the entire republic.

When Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning rushed to the hospital, they also met their mother Zeng Yun had just arrived, and the three of them were in a traffic jam on the road, but fortunately, they were only slightly blocked for a few minutes, and it was not long, so they came to eat a little, Zhang Ningning just shouted 'Mom', and the mother and daughter didn't care about saying the second sentence, and they all hurriedly walked to the small villa in the hospital, Zeng Yun only nodded slightly to his son-in-law Chen Xing, who had just returned to the capital today, and no one had the heart to say hello.

Before the three of them arrived at the villa, they had already heard a low cry from the villa, and the faces of several people changed, as if they had responded to the ominous premonition before, and walked into the small villa, and saw that the Zhang family who arrived in advance were all gloomy and bleak, one by one lost their souls, as if the sky was falling, and some women were crying, this kind of scene made the faces of the three more and more pale, and the silent language seemed to be announcing the result.

When the three of them walked to Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Xiaoru, Zhang Ningning looked at her aunt Zhang Xiaoru, who was over sixty years old, and cried bitterly, tears flowed down, and the scene in front of them was already telling them a cruel fact, Zhang Ningning didn't dare to ask, didn't dare to listen to the most cruel news.

"Chen Xing, the old man is really gone this time." The two brothers, Zhang Ming and Zhang Yi, arrived before Chen Xing, and they were men in their thirties, and they also couldn't control their tears, allowing their faces to be wet with tears.

"How can this be, at noon today, won't the old man still wake up and talk, how can he say and leave." Chen Xing muttered in a low voice, this result came too suddenly, if the old man died after a few days of continuous coma, Chen Xing might still think it was acceptable, but at noon he obviously saw the old man wake up, and he said a lot of words, even the old man still remembered the arrangement of Xiao Yuan's work, all kinds of signs, there was no sign that the old man was critically ill, but the result was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard.

Xiao Yuan also stood aside, he was the life secretary of the old man Zhang, and the closest person to the old man in his later years, and the people who were also unacceptable to this result also included him, an outsider to the Zhang family, the old man said to him at noon, which became his last words, Xiao Yuan also couldn't believe it, he was not the Zhang family, but he was closer to the old man than many of the Zhang family, in the past few years, he has been following the old man Zhang every step of the way, at this moment, Xiao Yuan is standing silently, and his grief is only known to him.

The deep blue sky, the waves are magnificent, the endless blue sky, the sky is cloudless, the sky is exceptionally clear, it is evening, and the sky is full of stars.

Zhang Guohua sat on the plane, the line of sight in front of him was not blocked, today the sky is beautiful, the sky is refreshing, although the sky is dark, but the line of sight can still extend to the end of the sky that cannot be seen, the broad field of vision did not let Zhang Guohua's mood be half relieved, but added a little irritability, Zhang Guohua's heart, full of haze, and this clear sky is incompatible.

The plane is still soaring in the sky, Zhang Guohua can't wait to put on his wings and fly directly to the capital, Zhang Guohua's mobile phone is not turned off, he has been paying attention to the mobile phone from time to time, when the mobile phone receives the text message, Zhang Guohua can't wait to open it, there are only a few words in the text message, Zhang Guohua's already anxious face is suddenly without any blood.

"Father passed away peacefully."

This is the content of the text message, just a few words pierced Zhang Guohua's heart like a knife, his eyes were condensed on these words, and his vision slowly became blurred.

The sky in the capital, the wind and clouds change color.

At the beginning of spring, the capital is still cold, the biting cold wind blows on the cheeks, making people feel the cold to the bone, the sky is floating with small raindrops, a foggy weather, as if it is also playing mourning for the deceased, covering people's hearts with layers of haze, like this gloomy sky.

At 18:35 today, Zhang Lao, one of the former party and state leaders, died of illness at the age of 88.

**, the small villa ward where Mr. Zhang lives and its surrounding areas are all under martial law.

Chairman Le Qiangmin, a central leader in Beijing, was entrusted by Chairman No. 1 to rush to the hospital on behalf of the central authorities.

When Zhang Guohua rushed to the hospital, the old man's body had been covered with a white cloth, standing in front of the old man's body, Zhang Guohua's tears fell silently, his back was to everyone, Zhang Guohua's figure seemed so firm, he didn't cry, his father was gone, he was the pillar of the Zhang family, everyone could show their weak side, but he couldn't.

Chairman Le Qiangmin let Zhang Guohua stand alone for a while, and then walked over and patted Zhang Guohua lightly on the shoulder, the deceased is gone, the living, still have to go on, the old man Zhang's funeral has to be handled, and the Zhang family, the real test has just begun.

"Comrade Guohua, the Central Committee has decided to set up a funeral committee." Le Qiangmin said softly to Zhang Guohua, and was also carefully observing Zhang Guohua.

When Le Qiangmin saw Zhang Guohua's rapid convergence and perseverance, a trace of appreciation flashed in Le Qiangmin's eyes, as the boss of the Zhang family, seeing the death of the old man Zhang, Le Qiangmin's heart was also sad, but whether the Zhang family can withstand the test at this time is not only a question for the Zhang family to think about, Le Qiangmin also has to consider, now is the time to test the Zhang family, it is also the time to test the Zhang family, the Zhang family is going downhill is inevitable, but where should the Zhang family with the Zhang family as the core go? At this time, a person like Le Qiangmin, who holds an important position at the top and has a decisive weight, has undoubtedly become a key figure, and Le Qiangmin's attitude will be crucial, and it is also one of the decisive factors in determining whether the big faction of the Zhang family will fall apart.

In fact, before Mr. Zhang was hospitalized, Le Qiangmin had already exchanged views with Mr. Zhang on the future development and direction of the Zhang department, and the two also reached a consensus, Le Qiangmin was willing to respect Mr. Zhang's opinions, and on the basis of Zhang Guohua as the core in the future, support the development of the Zhang family, and support Zhang Guohua to become the helmsman of the Zhang family, there is no doubt that Le Qiangmin and Mr. Zhang exchanged views on the long-term development of the Zhang system, and a series of arrangements after the death of Mr. Zhang, although it was too early to talk about the death of Mr. Zhang at that time. But it is necessary to take precautions, and Mr. Zhang is also paving the way for Zhang Guohua, the third generation of the Zhang family, Le Qiangmin was promoted and appreciated by Mr. Zhang in his early years, and he had the intention of repaying Mr. Zhang's kindness, after Mr. Zhang's death, he was willing to support Zhang Guohua, which is also the reason why Mr. Zhang talked to him about the long-term things in the future as early as possible before he passed away, because Le Qiangmin made Mr. Zhang trust and rest assured enough.

That's right, Le Qiangmin is willing to support Zhang Guohua, the premise is that Zhang Guohua must be a dou who can afford it, Zhang Guohua's path was too smooth sailing before, and it was all in the next step arranged by Mr. Zhang, although every step is very steady, but the main thing is that he has not experienced too much test, at this time, it is time to really see if Zhang Guohua can take on the heavy responsibility, Le Qiangmin saw that Zhang Guohua was able to adjust his state in this situation for the first time, and he had a little more confidence in Zhang Guohua, Without a strong heart, how can Zhang Guohua carry the banner of the Zhang family? Why did it become the core of the Zhang family?

Coming with Le Qiangmin is the No. 1 deputy director of the Central Office, Qi Jiansheng, the director of the Central Office Wang Bingxuan and the No. 1 head went out to visit Wèn, after learning of the death of Mr. Zhang, he also called Qi Jiansheng to the hospital in time to help deal with Mr. Zhang's funeral, and brought instructions from the No. 1 chief.

The Central Committee will set up a funeral committee, which is specifically responsible for the Central Committee, and the No. 1 leader will personally serve as the director of the funeral committee!

When Le Qiangmin personally said the instruction of the No. 1 leader, Zhang Guohua nodded silently, and the instruction of the No. 1 leader was already the greatest affirmation of his old man's status in the party.

Chen Xing and others are standing outside the ward at this time, they don't know what Le Qiangmin and Zhang Guohua communicate with, but they know that it must be related to the old man's funeral, the old man Zhang passed away, the obituary will undoubtedly be released in the name of the central government, and how to write the obituary, how to position the historical status of the old man, this may also become the focus of the game, every time an important leader dies, ordinary people see the obituary read by the announcer on the news, it seems that almost all of them are similar, and ordinary people will not pay attention to the difference. But I don't know that the different words show the status and weight of the deceased in the party, and the obituary that seems to be short in content is often decided by senior leaders after careful consideration.

Le Qiangmin didn't stay too long, he comforted the Zhang family, and left first, as the boss of the Zhang family, the central government asked him to come over as a representative, in addition to being his current highest-ranking leader in Beijing, but also because of his relationship with the Zhang family, the No. 1 leader is also releasing some kind of signal at this time, there is no trivial matter at the top level, and every seemingly normal arrangement often contains deep meaning behind it.
