Chapter 155: The Old Man's Battle
Teikyo City. Suburbs.
Tang family house.
This is a Chinese-style house, with red bricks and blue tiles, which looks simple and atmospheric. Although it has been a long time, because it is often maintained and renovated, it looks similar to the newly built one, but it is a little thicker than the newly built house.
In the study.
Tang Shiyuan was splashing ink and wrote a calligraphy and painting: Zhen Chang Zhi and Yu Yu, insisting on simplicity and shaking the world.
After writing, Tang Shiyuan put down the brush in his hand and said to the door: "Huang He, you come in." ”
Huang He walked into the study and stood in front of Tang Shiyuan, but did not speak.
Because Huang He knew Tang Shiyuan's temperament, this old man in a high position didn't like others to talk too much.
"Look, how about this picture I wrote?" Tang Shiyuan asked.
"The pen is profound, the power is through the back of the paper, and there is the style of calligraphy!" Huang He replied.
"Sycophant! This word is a piece of! Tang Shiyuan said, directly rubbed the word and threw it into the trash, "Calligraphy and painting, sure enough, are things that literati play." A rough person like me can't seem to write any good words. What did you do in Dongjiang City? ”
"Nope." Huang He naturally didn't dare to lie.
Tang Shiyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You deliberately let them go?" ”
"It's not." Huang He said, "Miss's illness has been cured, so there is no need to go to the United States." ”
"Healed?" Tang Shiyuan couldn't help but be surprised, "How is it possible?" ”
Indeed, this matter is somewhat bizarre.
Tang Shiyuan clearly remembered that his two daughters died because of this congenital hereditary disease. Although the medical conditions at that time could not be compared with now, Tang Shiyuan also tried his best, but when the illness occurred, the two daughters died one after another. Tang Shiyuan had also heard the diagnosis of Gao Boming and many other "imperial doctors", and knew what Tang Yuxi's illness was. Now, it was suddenly said that he had recovered, which naturally surprised Tang Shiyuan.
There were also some inexplicable surprises.
Blood is thicker than water. Although Tang Yuxi "broke up" with the Tang family, Tang Shiyuan's heart, she is still a member of the Tang family, and she is also her granddaughter of Tang Shiyuan, which will never change. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Huang He take Tang Yuxi away.
"I think it's weird, but it's just the way it is." Huang He said affirmatively.
"Is it really that wild boy who cured Yuxi?" Tang Shiyuan asked again.
"Definitely. I saw it with my own eyes. Huang He nodded and told Tang Shiyuan what happened at that time.
"Hey~" Tang Shiyuan actually laughed, "No wonder this kid is so arrogant, and he dares to confront me in person, it turns out that he really has some ability." From this point of view, Yuxi's girl still has some vision. ”
Tang Shiyuan was really moody, but at this time, he revealed a little appreciation for Sui Ge, which made it difficult for Huang He to understand.
"He also asked me to bring you a message." Huang He said again.
"Say."
"He said, now that 'banditry' is rampant on the frontier and at sea, please pay more attention to national affairs, Yuxi's body has healed, and you don't have to worry about it." Huang He told the truth.
"Hmph, this kid is very arrogant!" Tang Shiyuan snorted coldly.
"What do you mean?" Huang He asked tentatively, guessing that Tang Shiyuan might teach Sui Ge a "lesson".
"I didn't mean anything. Although this kid is arrogant, he is finally a capable person. What's more, he can be regarded as saving Yuxi's life, if I embarrass him again, wouldn't it seem that my Tang Jiaen will take revenge, and it will seem that my Tang Shiyuan has no room for others. Tang Shiyuan's answer made Huang He feel a little surprised, "Since he asked me to leave it alone, let's leave it alone for now, and see how big Lang he can toss." 'Banditry' is rampant on the frontier and on the sea, but he is worried about military affairs, but this kind of thing, can he worry about it? ”
Huang He knew that the old man hadn't finished speaking, so he didn't interject.
Sure enough, after a while, Tang Shiyuan said again: "Those little people on the frontier and the sea, why don't I want to flatten them and make them shut up completely." However, now that the state is emphasizing economic construction as the central task, and the common people have only been living and working in peace and contentment for several years, how can they start a war lightly? ”
"Young man, you don't have to be like him." Huang He reassured.
"I don't want to be like him. But this kid not only coaxed Yuxi to 'break' with the Tang family, but also made Haotian and others have some opinions about me. Hmph, I don't know what they think, I must say that I am an antique, an old feudal, obsessed with power, and have no family affection. But I did this for the sake of the Tang family and the country. Huang He, what do you think of the local officials today? ”
"I've never been an official, so it's hard to comment. But when people in my hometown talk about certain officials, they often scold and curse. Huang He said.
"yes. Your hometown is still an old revolutionary area. Tang Shiyuan sighed, "The words greed and corruption are not shallow to the country." Because of this, the top head of the country has also mentioned anti-corruption and clean government many times. ”
Huang He understands the harm of corruption, but he doesn't know what it has to do with the Tang family.
Tang Shiyuan saw Huang He's doubts, and said, "What do you think of the style of those officers below me?" ”
"Brave and strategic, simple in life." Huang He said that he knew a lot about the army under Tang Shiyuan's control. Compared with other troops, the officers of the Tang family are among the best in terms of style and style, which is also what makes Huang He admire Tang Shiyuan.
"Simplicity?" Tang Shiyuan snorted coldly, "Simple fart!" If we follow the previous guiding ideology of 'not taking a single stitch from the masses', these people should all be dragged and shot! Even I should be killed! Look at it, this room full of Moutai and good cigarettes is about to become a wine cellar! ”
"The current atmosphere is like this, and you can't be left alone." Huang He sighed lightly.
Only Huang He dared to say a few words of truth in front of Tang Shiyuan.
"This kind of atmosphere kills people." Tang Shiyuan sighed, "In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao repeatedly emphasized the need to prevent the corruption of imperialism's sugar-coated shells. It's just that these sugar-coated shells were not given to us by imperialism, but by our own people. ”
"There's no way around it. Soldiers are also human beings, and they also need to buy a house and have children. Huang He said, "Even I, who often follow your old man, have some people who inexplicably send good cigarettes and good wine to their homes, and they can't find anyone if they want to go back." To tell you the truth, the money my family sells tobacco and alcohol every year is several times higher than the salary you pay me. ”
"Herein lies the problem." Tang Shiyuan said with a solemn expression, "Obviously, many people's salaries can't even afford a bottle of the best Moutai, but there is a room full of Moutai." And the most terrible thing is that many people are accustomed to it, thinking that accepting cigarettes and alcohol and the like is not considered bribery, and drinking good wine and eating good cigarettes is not corruption. It can be seen that it is not the atmosphere that is corrupted, but the hearts of many of us are corrupted. I know that there are many people in the military system who are waiting for me to delegate power, for me to die of old age, so that they can fill in. These people's hearts are greedy, they will not be satisfied with a bottle of wine and a cigarette, if these people are allowed to take over, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, I have been working hard to cultivate Haotian all these years, just hoping that he can take over my class and fight against those people! It's just that Haotian is still a little tender after all, so I plan to marry the Yang family, hoping to use the power of the Yang family to let Haotian rise as soon as possible, although I have some selfishness, but I have a clear conscience. ”
Only then did Huang He understand Tang Shiyuan's good intentions, and said, "Your old hard work, they will definitely understand." ”
"I hope so." Tang Shiyuan sighed lightly, "Bandits are rampant? After all, he is a young man, bloody, but short-sighted. The worries of China today are not in the United States imperialism, not in Japan and South Korea, not in Vietnam and Indonesia, but in the country. If the people are rich and the country is strong, the top and bottom are united, and the young people are young, how dare they touch the tiger whiskers of my Chinese country! (Note: Because it is an overhead city, all qiē are fictitious, in order to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, in the future, "US imperialism" will be replaced by "rice country", and "Japan and South Korea" will be replaced by "mud bombardment country, Korea country", and the rest is to be determined.) Speaking of the back, Tang Shiyuan's voice was full of emotion, and the whole person naturally exuded a kind of majesty and momentum.
"Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles."
Huang He's heart suddenly remembered such a sentence, and he couldn't help but feel high respect for the old man in front of him.
