Chapter XXVII
Don't look at the entire public, procuratorial and legal system during the * period, which has been completely uprooted, but its old foundation is still there. When the newly established Ministry of Public Security in 1978 received an investigation into the counterrevolutionary remarks attacking the "two whatevers," a group of experienced veteran police officers were transferred to the investigation team to investigate counterrevolutionary remarks. These people are people who have decades of investigative methods and techniques, in a very short period of time. Through various signs, they locked the suspect in the Chinese People's University. After a period of investigation, Chen Zhaoping surfaced.
What surprised them was that Chen Zhaoping's family background was actually a senior military cadre. This has brought a lot of obstacles to their handling of the case. They had no choice but to contact the Central Leading Group and the Military Commission through the Ministry of Public Security. Only then did he get permission to take measures against Chen Weixiong, which, of course, would have been in the Ministry of Public Security for two days.
Chen Weixiong was suspended from his post for inspection in a small conference room of the military headquarters. He had no idea what was going on. Zhang Guimei was also suspended for inspection in the class, and even the leaders of the hospital did not know why.
For a time, the news of the chief of staff of the X Army and his family spread throughout the military circles. Everyone is talking about whether this is the prelude to the start of another movement? Of course, no one in the X Army spread this nonsense, and Chen Weixiong, the chief of staff, gave everyone a very good impression. When the army commander figured out what was going on, he and the political commissar began to write letters to the military region and the central authorities. There is only one purpose, to protect Chen Weixiong. In Chen Zhaoping, they are powerless.
Chen Zhaoping has been very comfortable in the Ministry of Public Security for the past two days, and there seems to be nothing else to do except for routine questioning every day. What he didn't know was that at this time, the article "On Whether the Formulation of the 'Two Whatevers' Is Scientific" and an article entitled "Practice Is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth" were lying on the desk of an office in Zhongnanhai, and the editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily was holding a notebook and staring at the chief who kept pacing around the room. The editor-in-chief of Guangming Ribao came for the article "Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth," and this is the sixth revision of this article. If the chief agrees, then the article will appear on the front page of Guangming Daily tomorrow.
The chief finally stopped, took up his pen directly, and signed the article "Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth" with his opinion agreeing to be published.
"That's it, let's go!" The chief uttered these words with great determination.
"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Although the editor-in-chief was also a little nervous, he still felt very happy. Anyone can see that this is something that transforms people's worldview.
"Chief, what should you do with this article "Is the Formulation of "Two Whatevers" Scientific? The editor-in-chief of Guangming Ribao felt that since "practice is the only criterion for testing truth" could be published, there should be no problem with "whether the formulation of 'two whatevers' is scientific."
The chief listened to the words of the editor-in-chief, his eyes kept turning on the two articles, and he thought for a while: "Let's go ahead with "Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth", let's not think about eating a fat man in one bite, it's too early to post this, we also need to have a theoretical platform and public opinion guidance, too much anxiety will be bad!" ”
"I see." The editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily did not say much. Every time he came here, he would remind himself that he had come here to listen to instructions, and it was his turn to give orders when he returned to the newspaper office.
"How's it going, did the person who wrote the article find it?" The chief was still quite concerned about this matter, and asked.
"I found out that it was a student from the Chinese People's University, who had just been admitted this year, and his results were not bad. But...... The editor-in-chief paused to observe the chief's reaction. If the chief is not interested, he is not going to continue on the matter.
"But how? Go on! "The chief is clearly interested in this.
"This student's name is Chen Zhaoping, and he is the eldest son of Chen Weixiong, chief of staff of the X Army of the XX Military Region. Chen Weixiong was the on-site commander of the Tangshan earthquake in 76 and was awarded the honorary title of "Outstanding Soldier of the Republic". Although the public security department can confirm that it was Chen Zhaoping's article, he will not admit it. Now the Central Military Commission has made a decision to suspend Chen Weixiong and his mother, Zhang Guimei, for inspection. The editor-in-chief said all these things in one breath, and he was worried that if he didn't say it immediately, he might not have enough courage to say it.
"Play the piano!" The chief slapped his palm on the table: "A young man has his own ideas, let's not say whether these ideas are right or wrong, but what does it have to do with his family?" Besides, his father is also a high-ranking cadre of our army, and he is a hero of the country, I don't believe it, the high-ranking cadres of our army are all traitors and counter-revolutionaries? Let them release the people right away! ”
The editor-in-chief knows that the chief's words are pointed. In 1977, some remnants of the "******" in Shanghai contacted some military cadres and attempted an armed uprising, but it was quickly suppressed and the armed uprising became a joke.
The secretary on one side hurriedly recorded the chief's words. Some indicative things must be memorized clearly, and there must be no mistakes or omissions.
"You still have two more hits of this Chen Zhaoping. To be able to make something so theoretical. ”
The editor-in-chief knew that the chief was chatting now, and of course he was happy to accompany the chief to chat.
"This Chen Zhaoping is a figure in the X Army, two years earlier, he just read books by himself and came up with a seven-tube radio. As a result, the entire X-Army kids played on the radio. Earlier last year, he didn't know what to think, he made a few kilograms of zha medicine himself, and almost didn't blow up the water intake of the X Army. Just two months before he reported to the Chinese People's University, he and two children in the army forced themselves to make a submachine gun that fired small-caliber bullets, and later ordnance experts said that the gun they came out was probably better than the gun we use now. Since the unit where the case occurred was Guangming Daily, the editor-in-chief still knew about Chen Zhaoping's investigation, and when he saw that the chief was interested, he simply said it.
"Yo, I didn't expect that the children of our army are different, they all play tricks, and even make their own guns? Bring me this Chen Zhaoping's information tomorrow. Tell the comrades of the Ministry of Public Security that this Chen Zhaoping will be locked up first, don't wronged him. "Some of the chief's words were said to the editor-in-chief, and some were said to the secretary, anyway, everyone understands it.
。。。。。。
Chen Weixiong was very depressed, no one knew why, he was suspended for several days for inspection, and he didn't even ask much, he was released again, and his position still didn't move. He vaguely knew that his incident this time was related to Chen Zhaoping, but he couldn't think of how big a basket Chen Zhaoping had stabbed, and why he was even implicated? Even if it is a counter-revolutionary crime, it will not be like this! You must know that according to Chairman Mao's instructions before his death, the army has always been in a stable state, and the general problem is that the soldiers in the army will not be moved, let alone whether they are good or bad or are still senior cadres in the army.
。。。。。。
Regardless of what Chen Weixiong thinks. Anyway, Chen Zhaoping's small life was good during this period of practice. The Ministry of Public Security did not send him to prison or to a detention center. Anyway, he was locked up in the courtyard of the Ministry of Public Security, except for the usual help sweeping the floor, as long as he didn't run, no one cared what he gave. But everyone has a character, and if you let Chen Zhaoping do nothing every day, he will also be uncomfortable. However, there is one thing he always remembers: as long as the article "Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth" does not come out, he must not admit that he wrote "Whether the Formulation of 'Two Whatevers' is Scientific or Not".
Early this morning, Chen Zhaoping got up. I went to the mailroom and got the newspaper back, and I habitually wanted to go through the headlines first. When he opened the "People's Daily" and just wanted to start browsing, an eye-catching headline appeared in front of his eyes: "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth"! Chen Zhaojun was shocked, his first thought was could it be that this article was written by his younger brother? I looked at the byline, and it turned out to be an article by a special commentator.
Chen Zhaoping was confused, he didn't understand, how did Chen Zhaojun know that such an article would be published in the newspaper? Chen Zhaoping thought about it a lot, but he still didn't understand it, but this did not prevent him from doing what Chen Zhaojun said.
Soon, the time for the Ministry of Public Security to go to work came, and the public security officer in charge of Chen Zhaoping's project was very strange, why Chen Zhaoping waited in the courtyard early in the morning, as if something was wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw him, Chen Zhaoping walked over quickly.
"Comrade Public Security, I wrote that thing." When he said this, Chen Zhaoping lowered his head.
patted Chen Zhaoping on the shoulder twice, sighed, and the public security spoke: "You also underestimate our public security, do you think that if you don't admit it, we won't know that you wrote it?" I'll tell you, we've already identified handwriting. You're not up for it. "The public security refers to Chen Zhaoping's deliberate change of pen style in order to prevent investigation.
"Huh? But this 。。。。。。。 Chen Zhaoping didn't know what to say.
patted Chen Zhaoping on the shoulder again, and the old public said: "Stay well, your good days will come soon!" ”
。。。。。。
Chen Zhaoping returned to the room in a daze. He can be very sure that this matter is definitely not something that his father, who is the chief of staff of the X Army, can operate, the only possibility is that there are higher-level people who care about his affairs, who is this person?
