The Old Summer Palace was very beautiful, with lakes, mountains, and winding paths. After the fake street sceneries used for entertainment for the royal family were removed, the whole garden looked even more elegant and beautiful. Such a garden had the scenery of the day and the style of the night. Qi Rui wore a military uniform with a lieutenant general badge and a temporary pass hanging in front of his chest. Walking in this garden where he lived for a period of time, he unconsciously felt comfortable.
Although he was comfortable, he couldn't help but feel emotional. Qi Rui didn't expect his dad, Vézé, to have the emotions of a normal person, and to have a way of handling things that normal people couldn't.
'I have things that I have to do, so there are things that I have to give up. Of course, these are all personal problems. But my attitude towards politics has always been the same, and my beliefs have never changed. 'Thinking back to his dad's words, Qi Rui felt a little heavy in his heart. He felt that he had to do the work in front of him, but many things that had nothing to do with work kept bothering Qi Rui, making him feel like he couldn't move.
But Qi Rui had worked hard for so many years to get to where he was today, traversing through battlefields and facing death. His pressure didn't make Qi Rui waver at all. On the contrary, this conversation made Qi Rui feel that the pressure on his future development was greatly reduced. His dad, Vézé, made it clear that he didn't want to force Qi Rui to become the chairman, nor did he want to stop Qi Rui from developing further. All the future depended on Qi Rui's own efforts. Qi Rui felt that he was very happy in the army. After so long of hard work, he could finally solve the problems he faced with with his own ability. To give up his job in the army and jump to an unfamiliar administrative department, Qi Rui felt that the pressure was too great, and he couldn't accept it.
As for the "Double Stars" that his dad, Vézé, mentioned, Qi Rui instinctively felt that those people had ill intentions. Their thoughts were definitely not for Qi Rui's benefit. Pushing Qi Rui to that height was just for the sake of the 'Dragon Followers'. Even without Vézé's deliberate explanation, Qi Rui could completely understand it.
The night wind in Beijing in July was cool and warm. As the wind blew, Qi Rui felt comfortable all over and his mood became much better. He couldn't help but think that it would be wonderful if he could bring Bu Ran along with him. Then Qi Rui's memories from a long time ago suddenly surfaced. It was the memory of Qi Rui and Chu Xue strolling in the park in Nanjing.
His heart suddenly ached. Qi Rui realized that his father was right. Humans were born with an analogical way of thinking, so they would naturally recall all similar content. Many people could not move forward in their lives because of the pain brought about by the memories. This kind of pain was so unbearable that many people would not be able to live through it for the rest of their lives.
Qi Rui sat on a bench by the side of the road. He gently stroked his aching chest and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Some people said that time could heal wounds. But his father Vézé said that if the neuron that stored the painful memories was not used for a long time, the neuron's ability to cause pain would continue to decrease. Both of them explained the same thing, but the entry point and the direction were completely different.
In the past, Qi Rui felt that his father Vézé was too heartless. Now Qi Rui realized that he was too naive. No one thought that Vézé was a tyrannical person, but Vézé decisively came up with a solution when Qi Rui was facing a relationship problem. He used Vézé's great power to forcibly bind Chu Xue to Qi Rui. Although it couldn't be said to be an impeccable decision, Qi Rui had to admit that his father Vézé really loved Qi Rui. And his father Vézé grasped the crux of the problem.
Could it be that his father had encountered something like this before and left a painful memory? For the first time, Qi Rui thought of this possibility.
After a while of letting his imagination run wild, Qi Rui felt that the pain had subsided. He stood up and walked to the door. The next day, he took Bu Ran to the Summer Palace, which was the central office of the Min dynasty. The pain was still there, but it was not as obvious as yesterday. Because Qi Rui knew that he could not take Chu Xue to the Summer Palace in his lifetime.
At noon, Bu Ran asked Qi Rui, "Do you want to see Uncle Wei?"
"He's on a business trip," Qi Rui replied.
"Where?" Bu Ran was very surprised.
"I don't know," Qi Rui replied. After that, he couldn't help but remind her, "Don't ask about the itinerary of the national leaders. If we ask, it will be useless, except for attracting the attention of the security department. "
Qi Rui thought that Bu Ran would ask a few "why?" Unexpectedly, Bu Ran thought silently for a moment, then nodded and replied, "I understand." Then, she grabbed Qi Rui's arm tighter and leaned closer. Qi Rui suddenly realized that compared with Bu Ran, the children of Vézé's family were really spoiled.
As Qi Rui said, the security department was very nervous every time Vézé went out. As the saying goes, there is a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no day to guard against a thief. The security department and the Central Guards Regiment were the units that guarded against thieves for a thousand days. Vézé went to Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, to attend the National Water Conservancy Conference. The participants of the conference were carefully checked and all had a pass with a photo attached. After the conference was successfully held, the security department did not relax. The security personnel's eyes were like torches, ready to pay attention to any unusual phenomenon.
Vézé was not a member of the security department, so he didn't care about it. The water conservancy conference was related to the discussion of the Yellow River and the new Yunmeng Swamp in the Yangtze River Basin, so Vézé was very concerned about it. He was already 62 years old. Even if Vézé had the chance to live to see the completion of these two projects, he would not be able to participate in the implementation.
"The country has mobilized a lot of manpower to translate the water conservancy data of the past generations. We thank His Majesty, Comrade Vézé, for his care and contribution to our water conservancy department. "The chairman of the conference was the minister of water conservancy. After saying this, he took the lead to applaud. The comrades below also applauded from the bottom of their hearts. Without Vézé's protection of historical documents during the war, without Vézé's creation of a new modern Chinese language with pinyin, without Vézé's establishment of the scientific research system of the Min dynasty, these people in the water conservancy department would not be able to form a real department like it was now. Not to mention anything else, just collecting ancient records about water conservancy and outlining the main changes of the waterways in the history of China was not a task that the current Ministry of Water Conservancy could accomplish.
Some of the people below the stage were actually a little anxious. They only learned about the historical term Yunmeng Swamp after Emperor Vézé proposed to restore the illusion of Yunmeng Swamp. They really did not have the courage to speak in a conference attended by Emperor Vézé, but someone had to speak.
The comrades of the Ministry of Water Conservancy took out the latest research topics and read the conclusions of the comrades who published the research. Many people paid more attention to Vézé's reaction. The more the Minister of Water Conservancy read, the more uneasy he became. He had seen Vézé many times, so he probably judged that these research reports did not speak to Vézé's mind.
After each report was finished, there was a time for questions. Vézé did not say a word and just quietly listened to the other comrades' questions. At this time, no one dared to 'make mistakes', so the questions were not hot.
This situation happened in the third report. There was no expression on Vézé's face, and his extremely cold response made the Minister of Water Conservancy feel a little sweaty. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the Minister wanted to write a note to Comrade Vézé and ask him what he thought.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties stood up and said in a Hunan accent, "I want to ask, this report did not mention the impact of the erosion of the river by the clean water. Do you have no research results, or have you not considered it at all? "
As soon as the Minister heard this young voice, he felt a little unhappy. Recently, these young people were very rude, and all of them were proud of their talent. When they could speak, they always wanted to highlight themselves. This kind of aggressive tone did not even have the basic politeness. However, the Minister saw the expression on Vézé's face change. His eyes instantly turned from emotionless and cold to sharp, and he paid full attention to this speech. The Minister thought for a while and immediately made a decision.
The reporter on the stage could not answer this question. They did not consider the erosion of the riverbed by the clean water at all. It had taken a lot of effort to measure the riverbed. If they spent a lot of effort to summarize the hydrological data from all over the country, it would be a great achievement. As for the muddy water, it was not considered at all.
Just when the reporter did not know how to answer, he heard the Minister of Water Conservancy say in a stern voice, "Yes means yes, no means no. What is there to think about? "
The reporter looked at the Minister in astonishment, and then he heard the Minister say sternly, "Tell the truth!"
The reporter shivered at first, then said hesitantly, "Uh … we did not consider the problem of clean water at all."
The Minister was relieved. At this time, what he was most afraid of was this reporter lying. In the Minister's view, the Military Governor Vaize was not a mean emperor, but a knowledgeable and magnanimous scholar. Honestly admitting that they did not do it and letting things go smoothly would not make Vézé have any objections. If they delayed the discussion for the so-called 'face', Comrade Vézé would very likely become the cold-hearted Comrade Vézé. At that time, many people would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Understood." The young man who asked the question said, then wanted to sit down.
The Minister immediately stood up and said, "Comrade, which unit are you from?"
The young man stood up again and answered, "I am from Jiujiang Bureau."
There was immediately a burst of laughter. This laughter did not have good intentions. Five years ago, the Yangtze River flooded and Jiujiang's levees collapsed. All the military and armed police forces in the entire Yangtze River Basin were mobilized to block the breach and protect the levees. In the end, they survived the flood. Later, the investigation report said that the Yangtze River levees in Jiujiang were a shoddy project. At that time, many people were thrown into prison.
