Chapter 22: Last Words
Early the next morning, Chen Weiping hurried to Yanjing.
A phone call from the capital last night made Chen Weiping, who had never changed his face before the collapse of Mount Tai, no longer able to maintain a calm look. I didn't have time to prepare, so I told my secretary Xiao Liu to drive and go straight to the capital.
After several hours of rushing at night, Chen Weiping finally rushed to Yanjing in the morning.
Because the old man was transferred to the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army overnight, Chen Weiping did not go to the Royal Garden and rushed directly to the General Hospital.
came to the gate of the hospital and instructed Xiao Liu to park the car, and Chen Weiping entered the hospital in a hurry.
When Chen Weiping arrived, there were a large number of people standing at the door of the ward.
Chen Weiguo, Chen Weimin and other second-generation children and third-generation juniors of the old Chen family, except for Chen Hang, who was outcast, were all present. Everyone has a sad face, and there are still tears on the faces of several small characters.
In addition to the people of the old Chen family, some government officials were also present, and Chen Weiping was even more surprised to see that the No. 1 leader actually came over in person.
At this moment, the No. 1 leader was talking to an old man with gray hair and a white coat with a serious expression: "Dean Sun, Chen Lao is the father of our party and the pillar of the country, please do your best!" Please. ”
After speaking, the No. 1 leader took the old man's hand and shook it a few times.
This old man in a white coat, whom Chen Weiping knows, is the president of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, Taishan Beidou in the medical field, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
Hearing what the No. 1 leader said, Dean Sun also had a heavy expression and solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, Chairman, we will do our best!" ”
Dean Sun made this promise, pushed open the door of the ward, and walked in. Personally in battle.
It seems that the old man's condition has really reached an extremely dangerous point, and even the No. 1 leader is in charge himself.
Seeing that Dean Sun had brought a few doctors into the ward, Chen Weiguo greeted him and said respectfully: "Chairman, thank you for coming in person, please go to the lounge to rest for a while." ”
The No. 1 leader nodded with a stern expression. Walk towards the lounge.
And they all followed.
Chen Weimin fell behind, so Chen Weiping followed and asked softly, "Second brother, how is Dad's situation?" ”
Chen Weimin's face was very ugly, he shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not optimistic, the hospital has already issued a critical illness notice......
Hearing the second brother's words, Chen Weiping's face sank.
It seems that this time the difficulty. It's really hard for the old man to get through.
With Mr. Chen's status and prestige in China, no matter what decision the hospital makes, it is very cautious, and the old man's condition must have reached the point where it is uncontrollable and the hospital is helpless before he dares to make this decision.
Dean Sun personally went out, I am afraid that he just held the meaning of "the last fight" and did his best to do his best.
Chief One didn't stay long, only rested for a few minutes. He got up and said goodbye to his identity. It is destined that he can't spend time here, and there are many national affairs waiting for him to decide.
After the No. 1 chief left, the other officials also left one after another, and it didn't take long for the old Chen family to be left outside the ward.
Everyone was waiting outside the ward for news from Dean Sun. Everyone's faces were filled with sad expressions, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.
Fools know that the old Chen family can have today completely because of the big backer of the old man Chen. Without the protection of the old man, the Chen family will no longer be beautiful!
Especially Chen Weimin, his face was even more gloomy and terrifying.
Seeing the second brother like this, Chen Weiping knew a thing or two.
The second brother Chen Weimin has been an official in the capital for many years, and his career can be said to have risen to a bottleneck.
Hearing that in the next session, there will be a vacant position of provincial secretary Wei, Chen Weimin started to think.
Provincial Wei secretary is high and powerful, is a very important position of real power, in ancient times, it is equivalent to the feudal officials, if Chen Weimin can sit in this position for a few years, for his career, there is definitely an incalculable help, maybe in the future, into the center of power is not necessarily.
Of course, with such an important position as the provincial secretary, the competition is naturally very large, and all parties are secretly making ideas.
Originally, Chen Weimin had enough qualifications, his own ability, and with the big backer of the old man, the odds of winning were still very big.
But at such an important juncture, the old man suddenly failed, it can be said that the impact on Chen Weimin is very great, and there was originally a seventy percent certainty of things, but now I am afraid that it is less than one percent.
As the saying goes, "the tree falls and the tree scatters"!
It is conceivable that once the old man can't survive this hurdle, most of those who are attached to the old Chen family will definitely have to switch to others, and maybe there will be some who fall into the ground.
The power has reached the level of the old Chen family, and all alliances are for the sake of interests.
And the position of Chen Weimin's dream will definitely be greatly affected, and Chen Weimin's face is ugly, which is natural.
Everyone was silent, hoping that good news would come out of the ward.
Suddenly, Chen Weimin's wife sighed and said, "Alas! Dad's health is not good, but he has to travel long distances to see the children of the guards, and the child's temper is really stubborn......"
Hearing the words of the second sister-in-law, Chen Weiping's face changed.
This is to push all the faults on Chen Hang!
The second sister-in-law's seemingly casual sentence may have blocked Chen Hang's way home, looking at the expressions of the juniors all rising with the same hatred, you can know that Chen Hang wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but he is afraid that it will not be so easy.
Chen Weiping even noticed that even the eldest brother Chen Weiguo frowned.
But in this case, Chen Weiping is not easy to refute, and he can't blame the old man for the fault......
Seeing that the second brother's face was expressionless, Chen Weiping suddenly felt a little sad.
The second brother was silent, obviously agreeing with this sentence, or rather, it was instructed by the second brother......
Chen Weiping was suddenly a little disheartened, the old man is still in the ward, and the second brother's family has begun to intrigue, it is not difficult to imagine what the Chen family will become in the future after the old man leaves.
At this time, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, attracting everyone's attention.
Dean Sun walked out of the ward with a tired face. Behind him, followed by the doctors who also looked tired, all of them with grim expressions.
Chen Weiguo hurriedly stepped forward: "Dean Sun, how is it?" ”
Dean Sun hesitated for a moment before carefully considering his words: "Old Chen has come to his senses for the time being, but we can't guarantee how long he can stay in this state......
It can be seen that Dean Sun has a lot of words that he didn't say, and everyone's hearts sank.
"Elder Chen has something to say to you, you can go in......"
Everyone looked desperate, and a few juniors even cried.
Old man, this is going to leave a last word......
Sadness is sadness, the old man's last words, everyone still has to listen.
Under the leadership of Chen Weiguo, everyone entered the ward one by one.
When the old man saw his children and grandchildren, he seemed to want to raise his hand, but he could only move, and he hung down weakly.
Chen Weimin had the most eyes, and hurriedly rushed over to hold the old man's hand.
"Dad, what do you want to say? Everybody is listening. ”
As soon as the words fell, a low "woo" cry sounded in the ward.
In the face of death, the old man looked very calm, his eyes swept over the faces of his children and grandchildren one by one, and he looked at Chen Weiguo after the most disgraced, and the old man slowly opened his mouth: "Defending the country, the north and the south are important, and it is the responsibility to defend the land, remember not to be negligent and slack!" ”
Chen Weiguo immediately folded his legs, straightened his waist, saluted a military salute, and said with a full heart: "Yes!" ”
The old man nodded, he was still more relieved about his eldest son.
His eyes fell on Chen Weimin again, and the old man only said eight words to his second son: "Quit impetuousness and impetuousness, and adhere to principles!" ”
The temperament of the second son, the old man naturally knows the way, so he gave Chen Weimin these eight words full of deep meaning.
"Yes, Dad, I know!"
Chen Weimin has been an official for many years, and he has long been trained to be invisible, and rarely reveals his feelings, but at this moment, he can't control his tears.
No matter how intrigued, Chen Weimin still respects his father very much.
The old man patted Chen Weimin's hand lightly and said to everyone: "You all go out first, Wei Ping stays." ”
No matter what everyone thinks, no one will disobey the old man at this time, except for Chen Weiping, everyone else has walked out, and Chen Weiguo also closed the door of the ward.
"Dad!"
Looking at her father who was dying on the hospital bed, Chen Weiping couldn't help crying bitterly.
For this well-behaved daughter, the old man has always loved him, smiled lightly, and said weakly: "Silly child, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, don't be too sad for me." ”
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, you will definitely get better......"
Chen Weiping was really reluctant to let her father leave like this.
"I know my body, I don't need to talk about this......" The old man said this, closed his eyes and took a few breaths, and suddenly said: "Wei Ping, Dad still has a wish unfulfilled......"
Chen Weiping hurriedly said: "Dad, what do you want, just say that your daughter will help you complete it." ”
The old man said: "I know very well the character of the people, after I leave, you don't have to think about letting Xiaohang go home, that child is stubborn, I'm afraid he will not be happy when he comes back, and it may hurt him, you take care of him more, let him spend this life safely!" ”
"Dad, don't say it, I know it!"
The old man smiled with relief, knowing that his daughter is a person who says the same, and with his daughter's guarantee, Chen Hang should not have a bad time.
Thinking of the dead youngest son Chen Weijun, the old man sighed, "Xiaohang, that kid is the same as Weijun......"
The old man's words are full of nostalgia!
Chen Weiping hurriedly raised his head and said firmly: "Dad, don't worry, give me a day, I will definitely bring Xiaohang over and let him call you grandpa, you must wait for me!! (To be continued......)
