Chapter 1044: Bad News!
There is a reason for Chen Jing's temporary leave.
He received a call from his mother-in-law in the capital, and with almost no buffer time, he immediately asked the third brother to drive him to the airport.
It takes two hours to fly from Guangdong to Beijing, but Chen Jing feels that it is an extremely long two hours.
The mother-in-law's phone number was very simple, just a few words: "The old man has passed away!" ”
In just six words, it sounded like a thunderclap in Chen Jing's ears.
Of course he knows who the old man is, and General Fang, who is famous in the republic, is one of the only remaining founding generals of the republic.
General Fang's death is not only a major event for the Fang family, but also a news that shakes the overall situation for the Republic.
Chen Jing and Fang Lao didn't meet much.
But the limited number of meetings he met was extremely impressive.
Chen Jing was very encouraged by the simplicity of the old man, the ardent expectations of the old man for the younger generations, and the calmness of the old man in the face of life, life and death.
Chen Jing respects Fang Lao very much, and this respect has nothing to do with power, but from the heart.
Although Chen Jing had long known that Fang Lao's time was running out. But the moment he heard the news of Fang Lao's departure, his heart still sank to the bottom, and then tears involuntarily spilled down.
No one picked up the airport today, and Chen Jing returned to Beijing in a hurry, and he didn't bring anyone or luggage.
He walked out of the airport passage like an ordinary passenger, and then stopped a taxi and went straight to Babaoshan.
The farewell ceremony for the old man's body will only be held tomorrow, and today is the day of the Fang family's descendants.
Chen Jing saw Fang Wanqi from a long distance.
Fang Wanqi was wearing a black suit. With a black gauze tied on his right arm, his face was pale, and he looked so weak in the autumn wind.
Chen Jing stepped forward quickly, and Fang Wanqi said, "Wow! A cry came out, and the whole person threw himself into Chen Jing's arms.
Chen Jing didn't speak, just gently stroked her hair with his hand, and then slowly patted her back.
At this time, mother-in-law Xu Lian came out of the mourning hall, and Chen Jing shouted: "Mom! ”
Xu Lian nodded and said, "You all go in." The uncles are here today. Grandpa said when he was leaving, it was a happy event that he was gone. According to the customs of the Northwest, people who have to set up a banquet to celebrate, people are born, old, sick and die all their lives. Every single one of them is a big deal. It's all the laws of nature. So don't be too sad. ”
Chen Jing nodded and sighed: "The old man is really open-minded! ”
Fang Wanqi held Chen Jing's hand, and the two entered the mourning hall together.
According to the traditions of the Northwest. Chen Jing put a stick of incense in front of the old man's spirit and kowtowed three times.
Tomorrow, there will be a lot of people at the farewell ceremony of the body, the central leaders will come, the layout of the entire mourning hall will also change, and the incense can only be made today.
Chen Jing's arrival obviously caused a stir at the scene.
There were a lot of people at the scene today, almost all the second and third generations of the Fang family were there, as well as some juniors who had a very close relationship with the Fang family, Chen Jing's eyes swept through the crowd, and he saw the ancient forest wind.
Chen Jing and the people of the Fang family basically knew each other.
But in the past few years, Chen Jing has worked in Lingnan and rarely returned to the capital, and many people have not seen him for a few years.
A few years ago, Chen Jing was not well-known and was just a small role, but now Chen Jing is doing a good job in Lingnan.
Among the descendants of the Northwest Department, no one of the same age as Chen Jing can compare with him except Gu Linfeng and Tang Zhen.
The point is that Chen Jing is now on the rise, and if nothing else, his promotion will be in recent years.
Compared with Chen Jing's limelight, Gu Linfeng and Tang Zhen have encountered some troubles in recent years.
Gu Linfeng is difficult to break through in northern Jiangsu, and the Northwest Department has already considered letting him return to Beijing to take up his post.
And Tang Zhen encountered problems a few years ago, and now he is still performing in the capital, judging from his current qualifications, it seems that the time is not ripe to decentralize.
Judging from this situation, there is no suspense for Chen Jing to catch up with the footsteps of the two.
Chen Jing greeted the three elders first accompanied by Fang Wanqi, and the third uncle Fang Luping had just come over, as an important leader of the country, he had a lot of things to do in a day.
It can be seen that he is very tired today, and the dark sockets around his eyes are very obvious.
Chen Jing greeted him, he nodded, and said, "Come back in a hurry, the journey is hard, if you want to rest in the second half of the night, let your mother arrange it!" ”
Chen Jing nodded and said, "Yes!" But I still want to spend more time with my grandfather! ”
Fang Luping didn't speak again, and sighed softly, his expression full of gloom.
And the lowest mood among the three is Fang Lujian.
Of the three brothers, he was the least busy at work, especially in recent years, when he got along with the old man the most.
The old man likes flowers and plants, and he also likes to make these, and the father and son often get together to play with flowers and plants, and the relationship is naturally the deepest.
Chen Jing leaned over to him and said, "Dad, grandpa is very open-minded, you should also be more open-minded." Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, you have to mourn! ”
Fang Lujian nodded, and suddenly he said: "Chen Jing, remember to bring the child tomorrow, grandpa has always liked the child very much, let the child say goodbye to him!" ”
Chen Jing nodded slightly, then turned around and began to greet the other peers of the Fang family.
The greetings with peers are not as heavy as before.
After all, there is a generation apart, and there are many people in the Fang family, and the relationship between the third generation and his grandfather has also faded a lot.
In the end, Chen Jing and Gu Linfeng met, and the two stretched out their hands at the same time, Gu Linfeng said: "It's not easy to see you, I haven't seen you for a few years, but your changes are getting bigger and bigger!" ”
Chen Jing smiled faintly and said, "You are the same, I may be getting more and more old-fashioned, you are becoming more and more mature!" ”
Gu Linfeng was stunned and said with a smile: "You have sharp teeth!" He pointed to Fang Wanqi next to Chen Jing and said: "Comfort Wanqi, I look at the past, the many grandchildren of the three generations of the Fang family, Wanqi is really sad, hey, the old man is a real granddaughter?" ”
Chen Jing frowned, leaned closer and said, "You mouth!" Beware of becoming a public enemy! ”
Gu Linfeng spread his hands and said, "I didn't say anything!" ”
While the two were talking, a dark figure rushed in the doorway.
The black shadow rushed to the front of the mourning hall in three steps and two steps, and howled and cried while holding the crystal coffin.
Everyone's eyes were attracted, and everyone saw that it was Fang Lianjie who was back.
Fang Lianjie was a huge man, crying like a child, provoking a group of people to come over to comfort him.
As soon as Fang Lianjie cried, Fang Wanqi also cried, Chen Jing hugged her to find a seat and sat down, comforting her lightly......
……
The farewell ceremony of Fang Lao's body was extraordinarily grand.
Comrade Nian Xiao, member of the Central Military Commission and deputy chief of staff, served as the director of the funeral committee.
In the early morning of the farewell ceremony, the people who came to bid farewell to see them off surrounded the entire farewell hall.
Most people were not allowed to enter the farewell hall, and only local leaders at or above the level of deputy ministers and cadres at the rank of major general of the army were allowed to enter.
But even so, the whole hall seemed quite crowded.
Waves of people came over, each bowing to the body, then circling the body, and finally condolences to the family.
Chen Jing stood in the second row as a family member, he didn't rest all night last night, he didn't see the slightest malaise, he stood up straight, quietly watching this person come and go.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the leaders of the Central Military Commission were invited to bid farewell to the leaders of the Central Military Commission, which was attended by all the principal and deputy leaders of the four general departments, as well as the head of the large military region, the head of the Second Artillery Corps, and the head of the armed police.
The lowest rank is a major general, and then a lieutenant general.
Chen Jing suspected that at least a third of all the generals of the Republic came today.
I have to say that such a scene is very shocking, which also shows from the side that Fang Lao has a high prestige and great influence in the army.
To Chen Jing's surprise, many generals burst into tears, and when they shook hands with their families, Chen Jing was very close to them, and many of them had red eyes.
Fang Lianjie stood in the front row, many leaders came over and patted him on the shoulder, and some leaders also encouraged him not to forget the general's will and jīngshén, which was a great encouragement to Fang Lianjie, and also indirectly identified with him, the third generation of the Fang family.
Chen Jing only knew that the Fang family had a strong influence in the military before, and he never had a very intuitive feeling.
It wasn't until today that he really saw the extent of the Fang family's influence in the military.
The entire farewell ceremony lasted almost an hour.
Then the entire hall was quickly cleaned up, and Chen Jing clearly felt that the vigilance inside and outside had been strengthened.
A lot of men in black suits began to appear, all of them tall and tall, occupying all the passages in the farewell hall.
Everyone present is qīngchu, and the leaders of the Central Political Bureau are coming.
Such a scene is very different from the one broadcast on the news network.
Because the news network only broadcast a few shots of the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau bowing, but in fact there were hundreds of people who were black.
The Seven Standing Committees are in the front, and then there are also groups of seven people in the back, and a group bows in front of the old man's remains, and then looks at the body, and the people behind follow one by one.
It was the first time that Chen Jing had such close contact with the top leadership of the Central Committee.
He was not very excited in his heart, but he felt that he seemed to be much closer to the core of the party.
Many years ago, he was just a small deputy section cadre in the remote mountainous areas of the Chujiang River, and at that time, he couldn't imagine what the central government was.
Not to mention the central government, even the heads of the provinces and cities, he can only rely on imagination in his mind, which is completely unattainable by the mountains.
But now, the leadership of the Central Committee and the highest level is in front of him, and he is in a trance and feels very unreal.
But when he thought about it, he was not a senior party cadre on the ruling side now?
All these bits and pieces of experience flashed through his mind like a movie.
These things made him mature, made him grow, and pushed him step by step to his current wèizhì.
If a few more years pass, what kind of wèizhì will you be in?
He had never thought about it before, but this time, it came out of nowhere...... The fastest reading novel is the big master, read the book, welcome to log in.kanshu.la Read the full article!
