Qi Rui and his father Wei Ze talked for three or four hours for an unprecedented time, and since he was born, he has never had such a long conversation with his father. Of course, Qi Rui only spoke five sentences in these three or four hours. Three of them are, "Father, I'll pour you some water." The other two sentences are "Father, I'll light you a cigarette", "Let's leave the window open for a while?" ”

After the interview, Qi Rui went back to his bedroom. Since he is not married, there must be a room for him in the house. Lying on the bed, Qi Rui only felt that he didn't know his father Wei Ze at all. In the past, just listening to others describe heroes with the world in mind, and really listening to a big hero with the world in mind telling the world, Qi Rui's biggest feeling was actually at a loss.

A very simple example, it takes a lot of money to build a motorized infantry, where does this huge amount of money come from, and how to use it after spending a huge amount of money to build a motorized infantry. Wei Ze looked at this matter from the standpoint of a ruler, not only from a purely military aspect, but also from the contradictions that may arise in the whole country at present and in the future.

These things are not a world open to Wei Rui at all, not to mention a small lieutenant colonel, even if he is a lieutenant general, he is only a member of the entire national system, and even Emperor Wei Ze himself is only a very important part of the system of the Republic of China.

was reflecting, but someone knocked on the door, and then the old lady Qi Hongyi pushed the door into Qi Rui's room. Qi Rui hurriedly got up, Qi Hongyi pulled a chair and walked opposite Qi Rui, "Qi Rui, do you want to be the prince?" ”

"I want to take over my father's class, but I don't want to be the prince." Qi Rui told his mother what he thought at this time. He was in need of someone to talk to at this point. It's not with his father Wesser, but his father brings him more mysteries and puzzles. Now I need to talk to someone like my mother who can talk intimately without worrying about anything. After all, since Qi Rui was born, the important promoter who has guided and even forced Qi Rui step by step on the road of inheriting his father Wei Ze is his mother Qi Hongyi.

"If you're determined, just keep it down." Qi Hongyi listened to her son's meaning, and got up to leave after only saying a word.

Qi Rui was stunned now, in the past, as long as the old lady had something to do with the prince, she would not let it go easily. Which Cheng thought that he really touched on this matter now, and he would be done with a fluttering word. Hurriedly got up and took the old lady's hand, Qi Rui said, "Mother, are you just saying this?" ”

Qi Hongyi looked at her son and suddenly smiled bitterly. Letting his son sit on the edge of the bed and sitting back on the chair, Qi Hongyi taught his son a little lesson as a retired history professor. The princes of the past dynasties were very different from the princes of the Min Dynasty. Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty secretly established a reserve, and that's it. The Manchu princes can also go out on errands. But the identity of these people is a high-ranking prince, and they are on the orders of the emperor. And the "princes" of the Republic of China simply climbed step by step along the established system of promotion within the system. It was not Wei Ze's will that determined the promotion of the four "princes" and the two "princesses", but a complete set of promotion systems.

Once the princes of other dynasties are established, there must be an "East Palace", and the prince must have a set of teams. This system is even more incompatible with the current system of the Republic of China.

After talking about this, Qi Hongyi wanted to tell her son about her views on being a mother, but she didn't expect her son to be interested in these historical contents. Qi Hongyi sighed, "Wei Rui, until now, I have to say that the gap between you and your father is not small. ”

"Where is the gap?" Qi Rui immediately became interested in this comparison again. Compared with those historical knowledge, the gap with his own father is the fundamental problem that plagues Qi Rui.

"Others say that your father was born recklessly, and your eldest brother Wei Changrong and your father have been getting along day and night since childhood, and they don't lie. The same is true of everyone else who knows your father. But at this age, I categorically don't believe it. Your father is certainly gifted and intelligent, and he draws inferences from others. But he must have read a lot of books. I now think back to the decades I spent with him, although he was a little anxious, he liked to use foul language when he got hot. When he talks to me about history on a daily basis, his insights are appalling. In the past dynasties, about the East Palace, your father still told me about it. At the time, I thought he was just speculating on his own, but after reading a lot of books, I realized that what your father said was right. Probably the biggest difference between you and your dad is that you know too little. Of course, Qi Hongyi cares about his son's future, but this time Ruan Xihao proposed to establish a prince, and Levi and Qi Hongyi had already talked about it. For Qi Hongyi, who had thought too much about her son for a long time, she didn't think that she should make a prince at this time.

Ruan Xihao talked about the establishment of the crown prince, if it is a matter of heart, he naturally has the intention of considering the children of all meritorious heroes. Prince Wei Zeli, shouldn't those people let their children be overshadowed? What Wei Ze dislikes the most is this system of shadow officials, and Qi Hongyi knows this very well.

More importantly, Wei Rui is now a lieutenant colonel and is involved in important topics that determine the future direction of the development of the whole army. This is a promising path for the future. Take advantage of this time to form a wide range of party members and establish prestige. When Wei Ze died, Wei Rui was able to get the support of the younger generation of the army, and it was a matter of course to take over Wei Ze's class. Once the crown prince is established, Wei Rui will immediately be the target of everyone, and he will be completely set aside, and the opportunity to get four beams and eight pillars will be lost. How could Qi Hongyi be willing to let his son suffer such a loss?

Now Qi Hongyi firmly believes that Wei Ze's retirement system is to clear the obstacles for his son Wei Rui. More than ten years of planning has been steadily implemented now, which can be described as far-reaching and long-term. has been with her husband for decades, Qi Hongyi knows very well that Wei Ze made her own decision, and she doesn't have any think tanks, and figures such as national teachers are on her side to advise. Compared with her husband, who is knowledgeable, writes books, and opens up an ideological system, his son Wei Rui is really a rookie. Thousands of words boiled down to one sentence at this time, "Wei Rui, you are still a good student." ”

"Mother! I think what you've just told me makes me feel like I've seen the light of day. Qi Rui naturally wants to shoot the old lady's horses, and he doesn't wear any sycophants. In addition, what he said was also sincere, if he hadn't listened to what his mother had just said, Qi Rui really didn't understand what was going on with the princes of the past dynasties. Compared with the experience of the princes of previous dynasties, Qi Rui agrees more with the path he is taking at this time.

"If you're free...... You're so busy with work right now, I'm afraid you won't be available. However, if you have time, you will attend more lectures. Nowadays, each industry has its own professional lectures, and listening to them once is better than reading them for years. Qi Hongyi can only give her son advice as efficiently as possible. However, Qi Hongyi actually didn't know that her husband Wei Ze liked to visit forums and listen to lectures in another time and space. Weeser's knowledge is also the result of standing on the shoulders of many excellent people.

Qi Rui was not opposed to the lecture, but at this time his mind was not on such matters. "Mother, my father said that if you want to stand above everyone, you have to represent the interests of everyone. I know that my father has done countless things for the world, and naturally he can represent the interests of the people. But you've known my dad for so long, don't you have a little selfishness? If it was in the past, Qi Rui would never have thought of his mother asking such questions, but the situation was different at this time, and he hoped to know more about his father. Even if you know a little bit more.

"Selfless? Hehe! Qi Hongyi was amused by her son's words. As a person who has experienced the changes in Tianjing, with the accumulation of decades of time, Qi Hongyi's perspective on the problem is naturally no longer the idea of a little girl. Wei Ze to Hong Xiuquan to Yang Xiuqing, in Qi Hongyi's opinion, can probably be described as treacherous and loyal.

If it weren't for the bloody battle that washed the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze would never have been able to stand up on his own with the most brave and warlike elite troops in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Xiuquan and Shi Dakai, whose hands were stained with the blood of their brothers, suffered endless accusations of personal morality. Wei Ze, the founding emperor of the Republic of China, became a morally perfect person because he cared about his brother's righteousness and became a clean victim. If Wei Ze didn't have the slightest scheming in it, then Qi Hongyi couldn't understand why Wei Ze secretly went to Qi Hongyi's house in the middle of the night after returning to Nanjing. With the respect of the King of Qi, who ranked fifth in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was just a matter of casual words to take his wife to the palace of the King of Qi. Qi Hongyi actually suspected that her husband Wei Ze knew about the changes in Tianjing before he entered Nanjing, so he chose to live at Qi Hongyi's house. And this matter was also packaged as Wei Ze respected his father-in-law and just went to meet his father-in-law. Calling such a person selfless, Qi Hongyi felt that his son was too cute.

Putting away her mocking smile, she said to her son with a straight face: "Your father has always pursued to promote social progress in his life. ”

"Sure enough!" Qi Rui had a look of sudden realization on his face. This frightened Qi Hongyi, even if he laughed at her husband Wei Ze in her heart, this old thing can simply deceive the scheming and means of the world, Qi Hongyi did not mean to deliberately turn over the black account. So what I said was also a sentence that everyone commonly used to praise Weese. She didn't expect that after listening to this sycophant, the expression on her son's face was actually very true, and even had a sudden realization.

Qi Rui didn't notice his mother's surprised expression at this time, and he suddenly felt that he understood his father. Of course, the means can be discussed, but Weeser has been pursuing progress at any time for decades. The founder of the Liberation Army and the founder of the Liberation Party dragged all those who followed him to always walk on the road of progress. A thousand words turned into an exclamation at this time, "Sure enough, my father has been pursuing progress all his life!" ”

Looking at his son's chatter, he completely fell into a state of admiration for Wei Ze. Qi Hongyi felt some inexplicable shock in his heart. Over the years, Qi Hong has seen too many such people, even if they are quite dissatisfied with Wei Ze's actions, when they talk about Wei Ze himself, their hearts are always more or less in a state of admiration and even admiration. Qi Hongyi actually didn't know what kind of charm Wei Ze had, and he actually made a group of young and middle-aged men admire him like that. With Wei Ze's means, what can make Qi Hongyi really admire is how Wei Ze got the most benefits in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, stepping on the countless corpses of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and stepping on the supreme throne.

Now his son actually admires his father Wei Ze so much, even if this is a natural thing, Qi Hongyi feels a little funny. Wei Rui's love for his mother has been there since he was a child, and Qi Hongyi still clearly saw the shadow of the little doll who couldn't even speak from his son who was almost thirty years old. But Qi Rui's attitude towards his father is constantly changing, Qi Hongyi still remembers how Wei Rui tried to resist his father Wei Ze's orders when he was a child, and when he was reprimanded by his father Wei Ze, Wei Rui would also cry aggrieved. But day by day, this child finally became an admirer of his father, and I think that in the future, Wei Rui will also strive to become a person like his father Wei Ze. While feeling relieved, Qi Hongyi also felt a kind of jealousy. No matter how many people say that Wei Rui looks like Qi Hongyi, Wei Rui is Wei Ze's son after all.

Qi Rui didn't think about it so much, he thanked his mother first, and then went straight to his father's study. After pushing the door in, Qi Rui didn't care that his father Wei Ze was reading the documents, and finally found something to say to his father, and he said, "Father, you hope that I can become a person who keeps improving!" ”

Weser put down the pencil in his hand, leaned back into the swivel chair, and slowly turned in the direction of his son. At this moment, he was very happy in his heart, his son Wei Rui had said countless words, many of which were obviously pursuing progress. However, there is actually a chasm between spontaneity and self-consciousness, and if you can't realize this yourself, you will only spin around like a donkey grinding blindfolded, and you will never be able to take this step.

"Even if it's progress, you have to know where humanity is headed. Progress is such a thing as easy to see far, but not far. Who I am, where I came from, and where I'm going. Countless heroes and heroes have been troubled. Weser didn't praise his son explicitly, and he didn't want his son's eyes to fall only on the realization of progress. Wei Ze himself had a time when he was complacent, although it was not for a long time, but he left a deep impression on Wei Ze. That feeling of complacency can really give people the satisfaction of "it's been good so far".

"Father, I will read more books and study more." Qi Rui also kept in mind the teachings his mother gave him. Recognizing the real gap with his father, Qi Rui naturally saw the way to catch up with his father.

Wei Ze also didn't want to trouble his son, even if he knew the direction, it would be difficult to practice it himself. Keep denying yourself, keep affirming yourself, then negate and deny, and deny and deny. In the end, you can see your true self. Let Qi Rui experience these for himself.

"I'm not going to reason with you, I'm going to give you a job now. After returning to the troops, in addition to doing a good job in military work, it is also necessary to do a good job in the work of the party committee. The Liberation Party is not a political party that is supported by slogans, and the Liberation Party itself comes from the people and is the vanguard of the people. He is a progressive organization in his own right. Learn from the advanced, encourage the backward, and let everyone realize where the progress lies. And in the process of progress, overcome their own problems, and finally obtain the liberation of human nature. I think this is the organizational building that the Liberation Party should have. Go for it. Weeser said to his son.

"How can we learn from the advanced, encourage the backward, and let everyone realize where the progress lies?" Qi Rui obviously didn't understand this.

"Who am I, where am I from, and where am I going. In the face of everything, you have to ask this question first, and if you know who I am, you will find your own position, and you will have a starting point. Knowing where I'm coming from means knowing if the abilities and skills I have at the moment are up to the demands of the job. Related to where I want to go is the goal of the work. Of course, at the end of the day, you have to be a materialist. Since materialists believe in the primacy of matter, they have to be wary of any idealist approach that 'I thought of it, so I can do it,' and kept ourselves from falling into this way. Specific problems are analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Work, practice, summarization, and then use the summed up things for a new round of work and practice. That's probably what it is. After Wei Ze finished speaking, he waved his hand to his son, "I'm going to work, you can go out." ”

"Father, can you write it down?" Qi Rui hurriedly said. Wei Ze said this theoretically, Qi Rui really couldn't remember it.

"No need to write. If you can remember, you won't forget. What's more, you've learned and heard all of these things. If you can't remember it, you don't want to. Otherwise, how could such a simple truth not be remembered. I suggest that you don't have to memorize texts by force. I've tried doing that. The result is that I really can't remember when I don't understand, and even if I do, I will make the wrong association. So if you can't remember it, don't remember it. After Wei Ze finished speaking, he turned around and continued to write the papers.

Looking at his father's back, Qi Rui didn't know whether to continue to stand here and beg his father, or listen to his father's words and hurry back to work. In the end, he chose to go back to work.

While riding in the car, Qi Rui tried to recall his father's phone call, and he found that he was deeply impressed by a few of the sentences, such as "Materialists believe that matter is the first nature and consciousness is the second nature." "Who am I, where am I from, and where am I going." "Work, practice, summary". But how to organize these contents into such a big set of words like his father, Qi Rui can't do it.

couldn't think of it, so Qi Rui found easier content. Analyze your current situation with "who I am, where I come from, and where am I going". "I'm Qi Rui, I'm my father's son, I want to go in my father's direction." Thinking of this, Qi Rui shook his head slightly and smiled wryly. This analysis cannot be said to be incorrect, except that it is not the same.

"I am a soldier, I have learned some military knowledge, and I want to complete the research and development of motorized infantry with my comrades." After thinking about such a set, Qi Rui still felt that something was wrong. This time, the idea is not as empty as last time, but it is still false.

Qi Rui suddenly remembered another sentence that his father said, "Specific problems are analyzed specifically". He couldn't help but laugh and touch his nose with his hand. Yes, when you can remember, you will naturally remember it, and if you can't remember it, you can't remember it because you don't want to remember. This may seem mean, but it's really true.

was laughing at himself in his heart, and the corner of Qi Rui's eyes seemed to sweep down a person. Then Qi Rui involuntarily raised his gaze to look at a person standing near the car door.

Tall, slender figure, clear water goose egg face, full forehead, straight nose bridge, beautiful almond eyes, and warm lips. Especially at this time, the woman also turned her head and looked at Qi Rui. When the two looked at each other, Qi Rui only felt that he couldn't move. Except for his eyes wide open, Qi Rui couldn't do anything.

At this time, the vehicle stopped at the platform, and the door opened automatically with a deflated sound. The woman waved her hand to Qi Rui with a smile, and stepped down the steps at the door with brisk steps like a deer. The passengers who got off the bus in the back swarmed down, and in an instant, the woman's figure was blocked without a trace.

At this time, Qi Rui sat on the chair in a daze, only to feel that his breath seemed to be burning his nasal cavity, and his heart seemed to be tightly bound by a burning silk thread, which made him miserable. Turning his head to look at the window with great effort, the car had already started at this time, and he saw that there seemed to be a figure of the woman in the crowd, and after a while, the figure was obscured by the body, the flow of people, and the number of people again.

Qi Rui wanted to get up and jump out of the car immediately and catch up with that person. At the moment when this impulse was born, without even being rational, Qi Rui knew that he couldn't actually do such an action. He was afraid to face that person. Afraid to hear that phrase again. "I have someone I like, thank you, goodbye!"

She's probably married now and has children, right? Such a thought suddenly popped up in Qi Rui's heart. Then Qi Rui found that his nose was sour, and he wanted to cry for the first time.
