In the summer of 1956, Li Yunlong received a notice asking him to go to Beijing for a meeting. At this time, Tian Yu was on vacation, so he decided to go to Beijing together. Since Zhao Gang and Feng Nan were transferred to Beijing, they haven't been there. On the day they arrived in Beijing, Zhao Gang and Feng Nan went to Qianmen Railway Station to pick them up. As soon as the train entered the station, before it stopped, Li Yunlong poked his head out of the window and shouted happily to Zhao Gang standing on the platform: "Lao Zhao, you are a shit, you want to die." ”

Zhao Gang wore a crisp summer silk army uniform, wearing a major general's epaulettes, and a Confucian general's demeanor. Feng Nan was dressed in a blue and white brothed bragi, she gently held Zhao Gang's arm, looking at the train that had just stopped, her eyes were full of smiles. Standing on the platform, the couple stood out. Li Yunlong and Tian Yu got out of the sleeper car, and the two couples who had been reunited after a long absence, hugged each other. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hugged in a manly way, hooking each other's shoulders with their right arms and slamming their left hands into fists on each other's chests. The women's hugs were the kind of wholehearted devotion that even their faces were pressed together, and they were so excited that they burst into tears.

The passengers on the platform looked at the two generals in amazement. Li Yunlong originally planned to live in Zhao Gang's house, but at this time, he had to pretend to be polite: "Lao Zhao, I want to choose a guest house closer to your house, so it's easy to chat." ”

Zhao Gang interrupted him: "Nonsense! Can you stay in a guest house when you come to Beijing? Isn't that swearing? ”

"I'm sorry, it's too intrusive."

"When have you ever been embarrassed to come to this set?"

Zhao Gang lives in a military compound in the western suburbs, and his house is also a small two-story building with walls crawling with creeper plants. In order to welcome the arrival of their old comrades-in-arms, Zhao Gang and his wife personally rolled up their sleeves and cleaned the room with the guards and civil servants, and even gave up their bedroom.

That night, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang drank all a bottle of Moutai, and Zhao Gang, who was already shaking, took out another bottle of Wuliangye. Li Yunlong naturally had no reason not to accompany him, so the two of them drank half a bottle of wine one by one, and the remaining half bottle of wine was resolutely confiscated by the two women. As soon as the wine was too drunk, there were naturally a lot of words, and the two men seemed to return to the years in a daze, they were drinking at the table between the tables face to face, and they drank to the excitement, Li Yunlong held the wine glass in one hand, dragged the chair in the other hand and stumbled around the dining table next to Zhao Gang and sat down, and the two were in tears, hooked shoulders and backs, and called brothers and sisters.

Feng Nan was surprised to find that Zhao Gang, who is usually gentle and elegant, also lost his temper after drinking today, scolding and spitting foul words in his mouth, which was simply unscrupulous, and Li Yunlong was even more so. Tian Yu and Feng Nan simply left the two men full of nonsense in the dining room, and they went upstairs to the study to talk secretly.

Li Yunlong raised the empty wine glass again and said, "Old Zhao." Come...... Dry! Well? Wrong...... Why is the wine gone? Who the fuck stole our wine...... Stolen? ”

Zhao Gang was drunken and fumbled in the cabinet: "No...... That's right, yes...... Someone touched our wine...... Touched away. Lao Li, I'm Zhao Gang...... I'm sorry for you, hello...... It's hard to get here...... Come to my house, I'm ...... I'm fucking ...... Wine...... There is no wine, really...... I'm really sorry. ”

Li Yunlong was more sober than Zhao Gang: "No, just ...... Didn't you just ...... Is there alcohol? Why was it ...... in a while? Touched away? We just drank it...... Two...... Two...... Right? Haven't had enough of it, have you? ”

Zhao Gang said angrily: "Damn, who ...... Who dares to touch our stuff? We...... Separate regiment from ...... I've always touched other people's things, isn't it Lao Li? Devil...... Traitor, let's touch ...... Touch their stuff, what...... It's time for people to touch us...... Ours? ”

Li Yunlong said: "You shit, don't ...... It's not interesting enough, it's ...... any time Eat ready-made, Lao Tzu touches ...... The devil's thing, which time will not come back...... Don't give it to you? Are you still ...... It's still fucking old talking...... Said that Lao Tzu violated discipline...... Law. ”

Zhao Gang's eyes couldn't open, but he kept saying, "Blind...... Nonsense, not our ...... Committing discipline is a devil...... If they have violated discipline, why don't they ...... Don't give things to ...... Shall we send it? ”

Li Yunlong staggered to the faucet, filled the empty wine bottle with tap water, walked back to fill Zhao Gang's cup and said, "Lao Tzu, I'm ...... Found the wine, there is ...... Yes, open to drink ......"

Zhao Gang took a sip of the cup and said, "Good wine, just drink it...... Know, this is Mao...... Moutai. ”

Li Yunlong sang while drinking: "The big knife is ...... Hey? Who's head? ”

Zhao Gang was lying on the table and was about to fall asleep, and he muttered, "Of course it is...... It's Chiang Kai-shek......"

In the upstairs study, Tian Yu looked carefully at the books in the bookcase and sighed, "Yo, you have saved so many books?" ”

Feng Nan said: "I saved a lot before marriage, most of Zhao Gang's books were bought after the founding of New China, and when we got married, we put our books together, which is our biggest property." ”

Tian Yu asked: "I haven't communicated much in the past few years, is it because I am just caring about having children, and I don't even notify my old friends?" ”

Feng Nan smiled: "I know that you are coming, I am afraid that the children will be noisy, so they are all placed in the nursery." The two children, both boys, were named after the words: mountain and high. This is the name of Lao Zhao, which is from Fan Zhongyan's "You Yanzi Mausoleum": The clouds and mountains are firm, the rivers are turbulent, the wind of Mr. is high, and the mountains are high and the waters are long. It seems that the two children in the back, whether male or female, should be called water and grow. I said to Lao Zhao, the word 'Gao' is not very good, Zhao Gao, and the big traitor who refers to the deer as a horse has the same name, how is this good? Lao Zhao said that it didn't matter, so it was called. Tian Yu, before I met Lao Zhao, I didn't plan to have children in this life, let alone give birth to a few in a row, but you know, we women are so weird, once you fall in love with a man, you are willing to do anything for him, as long as he is willing, what if you have 10 children? ”

Tian Yu said: "I really envy you, you old Zhao has a good temper, and you will feel sorry for people, you are really blessed." Our Lao Li is too hot-tempered, he beats the child at every turn, you don't know, he starts a fire, it's scary. ”

Feng Nan was not idle as she spoke, she was knitting sweaters for the child, and said while knitting: "Lao Zhao also has times when he gets angry, but his self-control is very strong, and he can endure it every time." Actually, I really don't want him to endure it, it hurts his body like that, and there are some infuriating things, he can't help but get angry, but when he goes home, it's like a serious illness, and he is depressed for two or three days. If you let the fire out, your heart will be much easier. I remember that there was a theatrical performance to entertain Soviet experts, and Zhao Gang was wearing civilian clothes that day, and as soon as we sat down, a young man who seemed to be the chief's secretary rushed over and shouted with a bad attitude: 'You guys, sit in the back, this is a seat reserved for the chief, you are not qualified to sit here, why don't you even understand the rules?' Zhao Gang's secretary was angry and stood up to reason with him. Zhao Gang stopped him and said, "Then let's move the place." We moved to the back and sat down, and when the show was about to begin, the distinguished guests appeared, and we found that the seats were reserved for the family of a great chief, and that his wife, children, nannies, and civil servants were all sitting in the seats we had just vacated. At this time, I found that Zhao Gang's face was white, his hands were trembling, and I could see that he was trying to restrain himself. That's not all, the more annoying ones are yet to come. After the performance, there was a banquet, in fact, the Soviet experts had already returned home the day before, and the organizers found that there was still a lot of entertainment money left for this event, so the performance was performed and the banquet was eaten. I have never seen such a lavish banquet, the dishes on the table are too late to eat, and one dish after another is constantly served. The plates are piled up, and the serving has not stopped. ”

"Zhao Gang didn't move any chopsticks that day, he sat silently for a while, and suddenly pulled me up and said, 'Go, go home.'" In the car, he said to me loudly: 'Feng Nan, have you seen it?' This is the privilege, one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Did you see the feast? That's wasting the hard-earned money of the people, how many people haven't solved the problem of food and clothing, where is the conscience of these people? Are they also considered Communists? ’”

"'Phew! Even the Kuomintang was inferior, Chiang Kai-shek also knew to advocate a new life movement, took the lead in advocating frugality, and did not even drink tea, only boiled water. You say, so many people shed blood and sacrificed to lay down this country, just to let these bastards have privileges and waste the blood and sweat of the people? I saw that the more he talked, the more angry he became, so I pointed to the secretary and driver sitting in the front seat of the car, meaning that it was not good for them to hear the impact, and Lao Zhao shut up. Because of this, he didn't recover for three days. He kept saying to me in private, 'What's going on?' The Second Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee said early on that winning the victory of the whole country is only the first step in the completion of the long march of 10,000 miles. Didn't you say it earlier? We don't learn from Li Zicheng. Why did you forget it all as soon as you entered the city? What's wrong with this? I advised him not to talk nonsense outside. He said: 'Feng Nan, I know that you care about me and love me, of course I won't talk nonsense outside, I have a responsibility to you and this family, I am willing to create a happy and stable life for my relatives, I can bear it, I will try my best to endure it." But Feng Nan, if one day I can't help it, I will say everything I want to say. If there is a day, I hope you can understand me. Tian Yu, when I heard this, my heart was really broken, tears kept flowing down, I cried and hugged him, and said to him: 'My dear, please remember, no matter when, we are born together, we die together, and no one wants to tear us apart. ’”

Feng Nan burst into tears when she spoke, Tian Yu's eyes were also red, and she sighed in a low voice: "What a chivalrous Zhao Gang." ”

Feng Nan wiped away his tears and said: "A few days ago, Lao Zhao and the others conveyed the situation of the 20th National Congress of the CPSU and Khrushchev's 'secret report'. The discipline imposed by the superiors is very strict, and it is not allowed to take notes, discuss, and talk to people who are not qualified to listen to the conveyor, including family members. In fact, the regulations are the regulations, can the news not be spread? That day, Lao Zhao went home after listening to the briefing, and I found that his face was pale, and he locked himself in the study, without eating or drinking for a whole day and night. Later, I couldn't help myself and rushed into the study to see what was wrong with him. As soon as I entered the door I was stunned, I saw him crying silently, to be honest, I never saw him cry, but I didn't say anything, I just gently hugged him and helped him wipe away his tears. Lao Zhao said: 'Feng Nan, so many old Bolsheviks, marshals, generals, and members of the Central Committee who had made great achievements in war did not die under the sword of the enemy, and they all let Stalin execute them, how could he do such a thing? He was the leader of the proletarian revolution, he was Lenin's comrade-in-arms, I always regarded him as a hero, how could this be? Some people say he made a serious mistake, but is it a mistake? It's a crime. I said to him, 'Old Zhao, don't we have three chapters of the covenant?' Don't tell me what I shouldn't know, you forgot? He looked at me for a moment before he whispered, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot.' 'Tian Yu, I'm really worried about his body, he thinks too much in his head, too much pressure, how can it be good to go on like this? ”

Tian Yu gently patted Feng Nan's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, Feng Nan, Lao Zhao and Lao Li have experienced too many things in their lives, and nothing can crush them." ”

Feng Nan suddenly remembered the two men who were drinking downstairs: "Yo, those two guys don't know what's going on, let's go and take a look." ”

In the dining room downstairs, Zhao Gang was drunk and unconscious on the table with messy cups and plates, and Li Yunlong didn't know how to get to the living room, he was lying on the sofa snoring like thunder, and the living room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol......

Li Yunlong held meetings during the day, returned to Zhao Gang's house at night to drink and brag, and did not toss until two o'clock in the morning every day, anyway, he always sat in the last row during the daytime meetings, and always found a chance to sleep for a while. Zhao Gangke couldn't stand it, he was a political commissar in a department of the General Staff, and there was a lot of transactional work, and that day he listened to a few subordinates report on their work, and he fell asleep while listening, and his subordinates waited quietly for more than ten minutes before he suddenly woke up and apologized to his subordinates.

A section chief said flatteringly: "Chief, I would like to make a suggestion to you, you are too careless to pay attention to your body, you have forgotten to sleep and eat when you work, your body is the capital of the revolution, if you fall ill, it will be a loss to the revolutionary cause." ”

Zhao Gang couldn't laugh when he heard it, it seems that if a person has a little status, he has a certain mystery, under the veil of mystery, his every move can be linked to a great cause, even if it is squatting in the toilet to defecate.

Zhao Gang frowned in disgust and criticized: "How do you know that I forget to sleep and eat when I work?" I'm not so great, besides, without me Zhao Gang in this world, the earth is still turning, how can it cause losses to the revolutionary cause? You, a comrade, should be corrected, and when you see the leader, you should reduce the flattery of the flesh and use your brains on your work. To tell you the truth, I'm drinking and bragging with my old comrades-in-arms at night and not sleeping, why do you forget to sleep and eat for work? ”

Zhao Gang thought: Why are there more and more cadres who are flattering to this kind, and I hope that this kind of atmosphere will not spread within the party and the army.

On Sunday, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang changed into civilian clothes to go shopping, because neither of them had ever taken a bus, so they simply gave Zhao Gang's driver a holiday, and they got on the bus at a bus terminal. The driver and the conductor have not yet come, the car is already very crowded, the summer in Beijing is very hot, the sun is like fire, the poisonous sun does not take a while to dry the thin iron roof, the car is like a steamer, the smell of the human body and the smell of sweat are intertwined, the bare skin is often attached to the skin of the people around them, making it sticky, in this environment, people's temper is easy to be irritable, and the fire is also big invisibly, and quarrels are inevitable.

A man and a woman quarreled, because the woman stepped on the man's foot when she got into the car, and the man saw that the woman didn't seem to apologize, so he sarcastically said, "Did I hurt your foot?" ”

The woman also looked very generous: "It's okay, I don't care." ”

"You don't care I care, how inappropriate is that? Looks like I'm going to have to apologize to you? ”

"If you want to apologize, of course you can."

"Are you reasonable? You stepped on my foot, and I have to apologize to you? ”

"Don't swear, what kind of hooligan? Afraid of crowding? If you're afraid of crowding, take a car, don't crowd there, do you have this life? ”

"I said, why are you so short of tutors? When you were a child, your parents taught you like this? ”

"Someone has something that no one raises. Stinky rascals ......"

"You say I'm a hooligan, where am I going to stream you......"

The woman's husband has been observing coldly from the side for a long time, and since he has already scolded him, he can't help but appear.

"Grandson, who are you scolding? This is my wife. ”

"You should discipline it well, women are not sensible, how can men not be sensible?"

"What the are you looking for, aren't ......?"

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was standing on the side, stood up and meddled in his affairs: "Okay, okay, don't say a few words, don't make it like a black-eyed chicken on a hot day." This lesbian, you stepped on someone's foot, isn't it over if you apologize? You can't say that people are hooligans at every turn. What about gay men, you can't ignore people, what are you afraid of stepping on? How can a manly man be as knowledgeable as a woman? The husband of that lesbian, your wife stepped on someone's foot, not only did she not apologize but also opened her mouth to scold, which shows that you usually did not discipline your wife well, well, you usually do not discipline your wife well, and at this time, you can't add fuel to the fire, expand the incident, let alone try to beat people, this is a new society, and beating people is never allowed......"

As soon as Zhao Gang heard Li Yunlong open his mouth to teach people, he knew that he wanted to do bad things, although his motive was to persuade him, but in fact it became another fuel to the fire, since everyone was an ordinary person, no one was qualified to teach anyone. Sure enough, the two sides who were tense immediately turned over when they heard Li Yunlong's words, and they rushed to Li Yunlong together.

The woman glanced at Li Yunlong and said, "Can you manage it?" Would you like to find a cool place to stay for a while? ”

The man said, "I don't like to listen to you when you speak, you are all poor people, what kind of chief is you pretending to be?" I'll try to step on you? What do you do? ”

The woman's husband was even more polite: "Hmph! A bed bug came out of the melon seeds, and Chongren (person) came. ”

Li Yunlong was immediately furious, grabbed the woman's husband by the collar and said, "You dare to scold? It's against you? If you scold me again, I'll listen to it, and see that I don't smoke you puppy. ”

The woman's husband naturally wanted to show some heroism in front of his wife, and where he was willing to show weakness, he hit him with a straight punch. Li Yunlong blocked with his left hand, and slapped the other party with lightning with his right hand. The man suffered a loss and was eager to retaliate, so he rushed up and fought with Li Yunlong.

Zhao Gang secretly complained in his heart, and said that this Lao Li is also 46 years old this year, why is he still so fond of causing trouble? It's even better than it was back then. He didn't think much about it, and hurriedly went to pull the frame, and the man who was trampled on saw Zhao Gang pulling the frame, so he decided that Zhao Gang was pulling the frame, two to fight one, this is too unfair, not to mention that he is also the owner, of course he can't stay out of the matter, he yelled at you pull the frame, and smashed Zhao Gang on the back with a punch. Zhao Gang was caught off guard and suddenly received a punch in the back. He didn't seem to have been beaten in his life, but this time he was on fire, so he turned around and punched him.

This is good, there was a sudden chaos in the carriage, the woman cried loudly, and people who didn't know the details thought that she had been subjected to **...... If the police hadn't stopped the brawl by the police who had arrived on the news, the battle between the two generals and the two civilians would have ended somehow.

At the police station, a young policeman asked sternly, "Who made the first move?" ”

Zhao Gang said: "Comrade, listen to my explanation......"

"I ask you who made the first move? Where is all this nonsense? Say! ”

"I'll do it first." Li Yunlong had already forgotten about the other party's first move, so he thought that he had made the first move.

"Smack!" The policeman slapped the table and said, "Okay, gather people to fight in public places and disturb social order, and you don't care?" Do you know what this place is? Let me tell you that this is the organ of the dictatorship, and it is in charge of you people. Honestly, you ......" he pointed at Li Yunlong and said, "Why are you squinting at me?" Not convinced, isn't it? ”

Li Yunlong said: "Little comrade, your attitude is not good, you should always ask things clearly, and you should criticize whoever you should criticize after asking clearly......

"Shut up! I'll answer whatever I ask you, and there's no room for you to speak. ”

"Fuck you!" Li Yunlong was furious, he took out his military ID card and threw it over and shouted, "Show me well, and then find your leaders for me, you little rabbit cub, who gave you the power to talk like this?" ”

The little policeman picked up the military ID card and looked at it, his mouth became O-shaped, he didn't close it for a long time, he was a little stupid, this was actually a general, he jumped up and saluted, and stammered: "I'm sorry, two ...... Chief, I ...... I really didn't know that the two leaders were on a private visit to Weifu today, please ...... The chief forgives ......"

Zhao Gang said softly: "Forget it, little comrade, don't be nervous, you see that we don't wear military uniforms, and if we don't wear military uniforms, we are ordinary citizens. ”

He pointed to the man who was trampled on and said, "You comrade, I want to criticize you a few words, why do you even fight against you?" Of course, I don't have a good temper today, and I want to ask for your forgiveness, they are all men, they are all bloody, and I am afraid that no one can do it if they don't fight back when they are beaten, so I also fought back. ”

Those few people also knew the identities of Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong, and they were frightened and apologized vigorously. Li Yunlong said to the man angrily: "You kid is really not interesting, you quarrel with them, I will help you fight them, but why are you standing with them again?" Do you still have a stand? Hmph, you kid, easy to be a traitor. ”

He turned his head to the policeman and said, "You comrade, your work style will be changed in the future, it is a trivial matter, why are you so nonsense?" Don't make such a fuss, do you hear? ”

The little policeman said repeatedly: "Remember, chief, I remember." ”

Zhao Gang said: "Okay, okay, let's go, the matter is over, no one is allowed to hold grudges." Lao Li, let's go. ”

In the evening, the two returned home. Tell the two women about it, and the two women laugh and fall on the sofa, saying that they have never heard of it, and that the general will also fight in the street. Li Yunlong expressed satisfaction with Zhao Gang's performance, this kid has grown up a lot over the years, seeing his brother fighting, no matter who is right or wrong as a brother, he must help, otherwise he is a traitor and cannot be handed over, he commented.

Tian Moxuan and his wife are coming to Beijing to attend a meeting convened by the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Zhao Gang was very happy when he heard this, and he said to Tian Yu and Li Yunlong: "I want to invite two old people to dinner, you must invite them for me." ”

Li Yunlong scratched his head and said, "Forget it, my father-in-law can't talk to us together, and some of his views are a bit out of line, and he almost quarreled with me last time." ”

Tian Yu glanced at him and said, "Why do you always wear colored glasses to look at people?" Different points of view can be discussed, you can't just button your hat indiscriminately. If my parents don't open it again, won't they also marry their daughter to you? ”

Feng Nan said: "That is, if you contribute your daughter to the revolution, what are you not satisfied with?" ”

Zhao Gang said seriously: "I have admired the scholarly character of the two old men for a long time, and this time I must ask for advice in person, I respect the learned people." Lao Li, if you don't want to listen, you don't have to speak, you just drink your wine, but you can't spoil the atmosphere. ”

Li Yunlong sighed: "Alas, this time you intellectuals have become the majority, and I have become a minority and have been isolated. ”

Mr. and Mrs. Tian Moxuan have too many acquaintances in Beijing's cultural circles, and their spare time for meetings is almost occupied by visits and banquets from old friends. Tian Yu invited Zhao Gang several times, but he refused.

"I don't know this General Zhao, so I won't go, you can thank him for his hospitality for me." Tian Moxuan said unkindly.

"He is your son-in-law's old comrade-in-arms, he was also a cultural person before participating in the revolution, and he admires your learning and character very much. Tian Yuyang begged.

"It's my son-in-law's friend? Not to mention, because my son-in-law is the most revolutionary person in the world, and I am afraid that all other ideas except the proletarian revolution will be easily regarded as heresy by him. The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, I don't see it. "The old man is very stubborn.

"Dad, are you just replying to someone's invitation? Let me tell others, the Tao is different, not conspiring with each other? My dad won't want to see you? ”

"That's it, Tian is this temper."

Shen Danhong spoke: "Mo Xuan, our daughter and son-in-law live in someone else's house, just out of courtesy, we should also visit, how can we be so unsympathetic?" ”

Tian Moxuan still attached great importance to his wife's words, and when he heard his wife say this, he was silent.

Shen Danhong persuaded in a soft voice: "You are a person, you are good anywhere, but you are not close to people and are too high-minded." It's easy to misunderstand. Mo Xuan, listen to me, let's go, you shouldn't hurt our daughter's self-esteem. ”

Tian Yu said: "It's better to be a mother." Dad doesn't hurt me anymore, I'm sad. ”

Tian Moxuan smiled: "Okay, I'll go." Who said I don't love my daughter anymore? ”

"Dad, you're so nice."

On the day that Tian Moxuan and his wife went to Zhao Gang's house to be guests, Zhao Gang insisted on going to the hotel to greet him in person, and Li Yunlong had no choice but to go with Zhao Gang. To Li Yunlong's surprise, when Tian Moxuan saw Zhao Gang, he seemed to feel that his eyes lit up, and his joy was beyond words, and a pair of loving eyes looked at Zhao Gang with a smile, which made Li Yunlong inexplicable. In his impression, this old man has never been lukewarm to him, he always thinks that the old man is a high-level intellectual, and he looks down on him because he is a soldier. When Tian Moxuan and his wife came down from the stairs on the second floor of the hotel, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong, who were waiting in the hall, stood up, Zhao Gang took a step forward, stood up and saluted in a proper manner: "Hello uncle and aunt!" My name is Zhao Gang. ”

Tian Moxuan saw that Zhao Gang was wearing a light white silk summer military uniform, his posture was very even, and the standard military standing posture was quite like a jade tree facing the wind, and there was a vigorous and heroic spirit between his eyebrows. Tian Moxuan blurted out: "What a heroic General Zhao, he is really a pillar." ”

Zhao Gang held Tian Moxuan's hand with both hands and said: "Mr. Jiu Yang's academic character has never had the opportunity to listen to the teachings, and today I was able to meet with my old comrades-in-arms by the light of my old comrades-in-arms, Zhao Gang is deeply honored." I am a junior, if Mr. does not dislike it, Zhao Gang should be a disciple and call me Xiao Zhao. ”

Tian Moxuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, Tian will rely on the old man to sell the old one today." ”

Li Yunlong took a step forward and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, hello, Zhao Gang and I are here to pick you up." ”

Tian Moxuan seemed to be in a good mood today, and he said to Li Yunlong gently: "Hello, I heard that you studied well in the Military Academy, Tian Yu wrote to tell me." ”

Li Yunlong said modestly: "So-so. ”

At Zhao Gang's family banquet, Li Yunlong rarely spoke, just drank sullen wine one by one. He didn't like this atmosphere very much, first of all, it was not casual, and he seemed very reserved. Where is there so much to do when I used to drink with those old comrades-in-arms who led troops to war? The brothers shouted, slapped the table and scolded their mothers, and even pinched each other's noses and were stunned. Drinking is like that, if no one advises you to drink, no one holds a glass and argues with you, it will be too boring. In addition, he did not like the way of those cultured people spoke, and it was a little difficult to listen to them, and he said things that were not boundary, and if he had been on other occasions, he would have been bored, and he might have brushed his sleeves away. But today he has to sit here honestly, and he can't show a little impatient expression, because this is Zhao Gang inviting his father-in-law and mother-in-law to dinner, in a sense, this is also an old comrade-in-arms to save face, so he can't help but give Zhao Gang face. In addition, it is necessary to show the father-in-law and mother-in-law that their son-in-law also has learned friends. Li Yunlong felt that compared to the last time they met, Tian Moxuan's words were obviously less, and the aggressive sharpness in his words seemed to be calmer, but the arrogance that was unique to Tian Moxuan and almost soaked in his bones was still the same.

Zhao Gang's interest is very high, he likes to deal with cultural people, and he still misses the strong cultural atmosphere of Yenching University. It was not difficult for him and Tian Moxuan to find a common language. The two talked about poetry, calligraphy, and gold and stone seal carving, and Zhao Gang also took out his treasure of the two bloodstones with great interest and asked Tian Moxuan to appreciate them. The views of the two on poetry are also quite consistent, and they both advocate boldness and grace. Tian Moxuan believes that although Su Dongpo's song "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia" can be called a swan song for the ages, today's Mao **'s "Qinyuan Spring Snow" can be described as shocking the past and the present, and its courage is unmatched.

Tian Yu is most worried about his father's talk about politics, the old man's temper is too stubborn, and as soon as he speaks, he will be unobstructed, which makes people's hearts beat. She was very happy to see that her father didn't talk about politics today, only about culture, so she smiled at Zhao Gang: "My father admires Mao ** the most, and besides, I haven't heard him praise others like this." ”

Tian Moxuan took a sip of wine: "My understanding of Mao ** is first of all from the cultural aspect. I read his 1938 book "Sacrifice to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor", and my eyes lit up at that time, and I was really talented and brilliant. I still remember the sentence'...... The great ancestor, Wuhua Zhaozao, Xuan Yan Mian, Yue Ehe Hao, smart and wise, light and wilderness, built this great cause, and stood majestically in the East...... The east is not talented, the sword is hard, thousands of miles rugged, serving the country, fighting hard, preparing for adventures, the Huns have not been destroyed, why is home as a ......' you listen, writing this article is not like the pen of the rafters. Especially during the Chongqing negotiations in 1945, after the publication of "Qinyuan Spring and Snow", I thought, our country has been in war for many years, and there are thousands of holes, who can clean up this broken rivers and mountains? It is not necessary to be a great talent. Mencius said: In 500 years, there will be kings and kings, and there will be famous people in the meantime. Mao**Ah, the first person in ancient and modern times. I participated in the founding ceremony in 1949, and Mao ** said: 'The Chinese people have stood up since then! We, the democrats and the people without party affiliation, burst into tears, this is our own country, we are the masters of the country......

Tian Moxuan's excitement infected everyone, even Li Yunlong put down his wine glass and listened attentively, he didn't expect Tian Moxuan to say such heartfelt words, in the past, he had always thought that the old man was very wary and suspicious of the new regime. Zhao Gang was even more like a spring breeze, and he picked up his wine glass: "Well said, Mr. Tian, I will toast three times to your heartfelt words." ”

Li Yunlong also stood up: "Come, Lao Zhao, I'll accompany you for three drinks." ”

The atmosphere of the family banquet was lively. Feng Nan mentioned the fight between Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang on the bus, and everyone thought it was funny, saying that among the more than 1,000 generals of the People's Liberation Army, the performance of these two was unique.

Li Yunlong thought of the little policeman at the police station, and couldn't help but get angry again: "This little bastard simply lacks a tutor, he doesn't ask about it, he trains people when he opens his mouth, and when I take out my military ID card, I am so scared that I can't speak, I am so snobbish at a young age." ”

Zhao Gang complained: "I blame you, people have two words, you have to meddle in your affairs, the exit is to add fuel to the fire, it's strange if you don't fight." Fortunately, the police station released us, if we run into a principled policeman, no matter what kind of general you are, you will be detained first, and then you will notify the superior unit to collect people, and our joke will be big. You don't care, you have caused trouble for decades, and there are more punishments than meritorious service. But I'm a political commissar who does ideological work for others all day long, and this time it's good, gathering crowds to fight in public places, disrupting social order, and being detained by the public security organs, I can't afford to save face. ”

"Look, look, the crow falls on the pig, no one thinks anyone is black, you have a high consciousness, don't fight back if you are beaten."

Zhao Gang was a little embarrassed: "It's true, it's very difficult not to fight back after being beaten." ”

Everyone was just talking, but who expected that these words made Tian Moxuan make an old mistake, and the old gentleman got into the horns again: "The problem of Zhao and Li fighting in a public place seems to be a trivial matter, but it reflects a profound problem. Just imagine, if their identity is not a general but a common person, according to the "Public Security Administration Regulations", such a fight in a public place, even if it is justified, is an illegal act, and it should be punished, which is normal. What is abnormal is that when the offender reveals his identity, he is greatly tolerated, and even the law enforcer is terrified, and apologizes to the offender repeatedly, as if he has done something wrong. This shows that our country's citizens' concept of the legal system is weak. ”

Li Yunlong said disappreciatively: "Hey, it's a trivial matter, where is it so serious?" ”

Zhao Gang restrained his smile and became serious: "Mr. Tian, you go on." ”

"A normal society should have a sound legal system, and if the law loses its justice, the consequences will undoubtedly be terrible. Zhao Gang, do you know Robles Bill? ”

"Yes, the leader of the Jacobins at the time of the French Revolution."

He is an example of this. This man is very radical, considers himself the most revolutionary, and at every turn deprives others of their lives in the name of revolution, putting himself above the law. The immediate consequence of this is that the safety of anyone's life, including himself, is not guaranteed. When the law is blank, there are only two outcomes: there may be an authoritarian dictatorship; Or the emergence of mob politics. In the end, Robesbill himself was guillotined, and he actually died at his own hands. In a society where there are no just legal guarantees, I am afraid there will be no winners. ”

Zhao Gang fought a cold war and fell silent.

Li Yunlong couldn't listen to it and argued: "The laws of our country are sound. ”

"And you broke the law and easily escaped punishment. What if your rank was not a major general, but a general? Isn't it more tolerant? Tian Moxuan interrupted him.

Li Yunlong thought about it and felt that this question was a bit complicated, and it was best not to speak yet.

Shen Danhong persuaded with a gloomy expression: "Mo Xuan, isn't it a family banquet today?" Why talk about politics? Would you like to talk about something else? ”

Feng Nan was also gently reproaching Zhao Gang: "Look at you, make the old man unhappy." ”

Zhao Gang picked up the wine glass and said: "Mr. Tian, forgive the junior for being disrespectful, making Mr. unpleasant, come, please dry this glass......" He drank it all, his face began to redden, and his emotions became a little excited, "Mr. Tian, I understand, you are a little worried, afraid that the policies and laws of the ruling party will be a mere formality. You have two questions: first, whether our laws are just; The second is the issue of the restriction of power by law. Are you worried about whether our party will be able to do these two things? ”

"It's not that I'm worried, but it's a sign that no political party, no matter how advanced its theory is, will inevitably have shortcomings, and if it doesn't even understand the basic truth, it doesn't matter if it's an advanced political party. I want to talk about the limitation of power, in fact, your party's state system is also established in accordance with the principle of separation of powers, at least with reference to the principle of separation of powers, compared with Western capitalist countries, our ***** is equivalent to the Congress, exercising legislative power. Our country** is the equivalent of the president, exercising executive power. Our courts are also exercising judicial power. Although this model has been established, it ...... With all due respect, this is only a façade, and in fact it is impossible to check each other, or your party has the final say, lacking the most basic supervision, and the people lack the ability to intervene. In this way, a problem arises: if there are deviations and mistakes in your party's national policy, and the people have no ability to supervise and intervene, then they have to wait for your party itself to correct and adjust, which will take a while, and this period may be very long, and the whole nation will not be able to pay this price. In addition, your party's theory of class struggle as a national policy is also worth discussing. In my opinion, the duty of the government is to manage the country, to reconcile the contradictions arising from the imbalance in political and economic status of various classes and strata, and to minimize such differences as much as possible so that the contradictions tend to be eased. This contradiction should not be exacerbated so that a certain class or stratum becomes an aristocracy and a certain class or stratum becomes a slave. Governing the country requires the rule of law, and subversion of the state should be judged fairly by the law, not by the whims of the will of individuals......"

Zhao Gang interrupted him excitedly: "Could it be that our people's congresses, **** meetings, and the supervision of various ****, as well as the judicial organs and supervision organs are all mere formalities?" We really can't solve it? Is it unfair to say that? ”

Tian Moxuan softened his tone: "Zhao Gang, don't talk about it, Hu Feng's case has just passed, right?" I'm afraid that our judicial process is not worth a royal approval. In my eyes, this Mr. Hu was originally a big leftist, how did he suddenly become a counter-revolutionary? It seems hard to explain. ”

Zhao Gang also calmed down: "Mr. Tian, I don't know the specific circumstances of this case, but this is a case that Mao ** personally intervened into, and there will be no big differences." You just talked about that kind of reverence for Mao**......"

"Yes, I think he's a great man, and I'm worried because of reverence. As the leader of the ruling party, his burden is too heavy, and if there is a mistake in the policy, it will bring huge disasters, even if these disasters are borne by a small number of people, even if it is 5% of the total population, that is, 30 million, what if this percentage is larger? Then there could be a catastrophe that could surpass any other catastrophe in China's history, with effects that would affect decades to centuries. ”

Zhao Gang smiled: "As a member of the CPPCC, of course you have the right to express your personal opinions, some things are still unclear, just wait for history to prove." Now continue drinking. ”

Tian Moxuan said stubbornly: "Okay, a word is a certainty, in another 20 years, if I am still alive, let's continue to talk about ......"
