Chapter 014, Oriental Changhong
Capital.
The capital is at the foot of the emperor. If you have never been to the capital, you don’t know how old the official is. It is no exaggeration to say that when you walk on the road and look at someone who is not good-looking, you might be a ministerial-level official.
One carrot and one pit, there are only so many positions for real power. Although there are many officials in the capital, it is not so easy to hold real power!
There are many red families in the capital, and the ancestors of these people are all founding meritorious deeds. Among them, the Dongfang family is known to all the children of officials in the capital.
Dongfang Changhong, the old man from the Dongfang family, fought the Japanese with the founding leader and was awarded the rank of general by the leader. He started from a small soldier and served as squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander, commander, commander, and chief of general staff. Finally, he retreated from the position of vice chairman of the Military Commission.
Dongfang Changhong has two sons, the eldest son Dongfang Yu, who also serves in the army. He is currently the commander of a military region and a member of the Military Commission. His second son Dongfang Weiqing is the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee and a member of the Political Bureau.
In the officialdom, everyone wants to make progress. The officialdom seems to be in a glorious place, but in fact it is also a terrifying step by step. If you are not careful, you will fall into a place that will never be restored. Whether it is Dongfang Yu or Dongfang Weiqing, both of them are in their early fifties, but they are already in their prime. There are countless people who are eyeing the two of them in secret and are ready to poke their deadly fangs at any time.
However, as long as Dongfang Changhong is still there, no one dares to touch Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Weiqing.
Although Dongfang Changhong has retreated to the second line, Dongfang Hong has a huge influence in both the army and in the central government.
I don’t know how many people hope Dongfang Changhong will die soon.
Dongfang Changhong is a very wise old man, and the older he gets, the more refined he becomes. He knew that in his lifetime, he could not see his two sons successfully reaching the top, but he had to live a few more years to make his two sons go further. Whether it is Dongfang Yu or Dongfang Weiqing, as long as he goes further, his position will be safe. Therefore, after Dongfang Changhong retreated, he paid great attention to his health, wandered around every day, fished, and played Tai Chi, and his health was always very good.
However, things are unpredictable. Half a year ago, Dongfang Changhong suddenly fell ill and no longer had a heartbeat when he was sent to the hospital. After the doctor's full rescue efforts, a miracle in the history of medicine happened. Dongfang Changhong came alive, but Dongfang Changhong's health was not as good as before. Moreover, the doctor clearly told his family that Dongfang Changhong had experienced serious illness and was seriously injured and might leave at any time. The family should be mentally prepared.
Dongfang Weiqing asked the doctor privately how long the old man could last, and the doctor's answer was up to three months.
There are still two years left before the change of leadership, which means that Dongfang Changhong will have to last at least two years, so that Dongfang Weiqing or Dongfang Yu can successfully take office. Three months, the time is too short!
Dongfang Changhong's condition is a secret, but it was leaked. When everyone knew that Dongfang Changhong had not had much time, some people who supported Dongfang Wei Qing and Dongfang Yu were afraid that Dongfang Changhong would also be implicated after his death. They became extremely cautious and cautious in their actions. Although they did not turn against each other, they no longer regarded themselves as Dongfang members.
I don’t know how many people are waiting for Dongfang Changhong to die, but for some reason, Dongfang Changhong has been alive. The three-month deadline that the doctor said has long passed. Now it has been half a year. Dongfang Changhong still has no intention of returning to the west. He stays in his door on weekdays, but occasionally goes out for a walk, as if to prove that he is still alive.
Since Dongfang Changhong was seriously ill, Dongfang Shengnan has been thinking about Dongfang Changhong in his heart.
Arriving from Hong City to Beijing, getting off the plane, he took a military car specially brought her back to Dongfang's home.
Dongfang Home is located in the center of the capital, surrounded by alleys, no shops or traffic, and only one courtyard after another, which can be said to be quiet in the midst of the chaos.
At the entrance of the courtyard, two armed police officers with live ammunition were standing guard. When they saw the military vehicles, they saluted each other and watched the military vehicles drive into the Dongfang Family Courtyard.
"Shengnan is back?" An old man with a hunched back and thin body, looking dull, was watering flowers in the yard. When he saw Dongfang Shengnan, he showed a loving smile on his face.
"Grandpa Hao." Dongfang Shengnan greeted the old man.
Hao Feng nodded, suddenly his body stagnated, and a trace of light flashed in his turbid old eyes, and he flashed away, saying, "Shengnan, your cultivation has improved again. You are so young, you are a master of the master level."
"It's all the credit of Grandpa Hao and the young leader." Dongfang Shengnan's face turned slightly red, "I'm going to see Grandpa."
Hao Feng smiled and looked at Dongfang Shengnan's back, thinking. The last time he saw Dongfang Shengnan, Dongfang Shengnan's cultivation was quite surprised. This time, Dongfang Shengnan actually advanced directly to the master realm. Originally, according to Hao Feng's prediction, although Dongfang Shengnan was extremely talented, it would take at least two years to advance to the master realm.
Who is the little leader in Shengnan's mouth?
Hao Feng pondered for a moment, then returned to his previous tragic appearance and began to water the flowers.
A quaint study room is filled with bookshelves, and the bookshelf is full of various books. Apart from the bookshelf, there is only a desk and a rattan chair left in the study room.
A white-haired, old-fashioned, short and fat old man lying on a rattan chair, holding a book in his hand, "Plant Encyclopedia". The place I flipped over is an introduction to the sack.
Don't underestimate the fat man.
This short and fat old man is the giant of the Oriental Family, Dongfang Changhong.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
Hearing the knock on the door, Dongfang Changhong quickly put down the book in his hand, lay on the chair, closed his eyes, and looked drowsy.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Dongfang Shengnan pushed open the door and saw Dongfang Changhong dozing off. He quickly stepped forward, helped Dongfang Changhong's shoulder, and shouted, "Grandpa, why don't you have a good rest?"
"Shengnan, rest, rest." Dongfang Changhong stood up and reached out and patted Dongfang Shengnan's hand gently.
Dongfang Shengnan helped Dongfang Changhong to the bedroom, and ordered the special guard to leave and personally serve Dongfang Shengnan to go to bed.
"Shengnan, I'm fine, I'll be fine for a while, I can't die. If you are busy with work, you don't have to come back to see me often." Dongfang Changhong lay on the bed, and said with a slightly weak tone.
"Grandpa will definitely live for a hundred years." Dongfang Shengnan's eyes turned red. She was the pearl in Dongfang Changhong's hand. She grew up with Dongfang Changhong and Hao Feng since childhood, and had a particularly deep relationship with the two old men.
"Shengnan, it's good that you're back. I don't want to sleep now. Please help me out for a walk!"
"Grandpa, just take a walk in the garden, why do you still have to go out for a walk?"
"Shengnan, I can't live, the key is that others know that I will not die for a while." Dongfang Changhong waved his hand, "Forget it, you don't understand if you say it, help me up!"
"It's not possible today, tomorrow. You've just dozed off." Dongfang Shengnan suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, grandpa, I'll bring back a pill of Little Pill..."
"Haha, Shengnan, grandpa is very good now, and he doesn't need any Little Huandan. You mentioned Little Huandan, your uncle and your father have sent me a few pills. The medicine is a good medicine, but it is useless to me."
"It's different. What I got back this time was made by the young leader himself." Dongfang Shengnan took out Xiao Huandan wrapped in a handkerchief, opened the handkerchief, and handed Xiao Huandan to Dongfang Changhong, "Grandpa, eat it."
Dongfang Changhong seemed unable to resist Dongfang Shengnan's kindness, so she took Xiao Huandan and glanced at him. Suddenly, Dongfang Changhong's face changed drastically, and her turbid old eyes shone with gleam.
"You can take it and take a look, it's very precious!"
Dongfang Changhong opened his mouth and swallowed Xiao Huandan without saying a word.
"Grandpa, don't worry, after taking Xiao Huandan from the little leader, your body will gradually get better." Dongfang Shengnan smiled happily on his face. She believed in Xiao Yun and Dongfang Changhong.
After taking Xiao Huandan, Dongfang Changhong returned to his drowsy appearance and said vaguely: "Shengnan, do you know your little leader, your situation? Can you tell me?"
"I don't know much, but I know a little. The young leader's name is Xiao Yun..."
"Xiao Yun?"
"Well, I'm twenty-three years old this year..."
"Twenty-three years old?"
"Yes, grandpa, do you still want to listen?"
"Okay, okay, you said, I won't interrupt you anymore."
"The young leader is Xiao Yun, who is twenty-three years old this year. He is a genius of traditional Chinese medicine. He not only has developed Xiao Huandan, but also has developed the stagnant pill..."
"Stay the Yan Dan..." Dongfang Changhong suddenly became alert, reached out to cover her mouth, and looked at Dongfang Shengnan pitifully.
Dongfang Shengnan glared at Dongfang Changhong with a cute and silly, and continued: "Little Huandan can almost cure all diseases, and there is also the Yanyandan. After taking it, it is very good for the skin. You didn't notice that I have turned much white. Whether it is Xiao Huandan or Yanyandan, the prescription is listed as state secrets. It is precisely for this reason that I became the bodyguard of the young leader."
"Is that true? How is his character?"
"The character of the little leader..." Dongfang Shengnan squatted in front of the bed, reached out to support his chin, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, the little leader treats me well anyway."
"Did he study traditional Chinese medicine? Or did he suddenly develop Xiao Huandan and Guanyandan?"
"The young leader is not a Chinese medicine practitioner. I don't know much about how he developed Xiaohuandan and Guanyandan."
Dongfang Changhong held up and said, "Shengnan, I just took Xiaohuandan, and now I feel much better. I must thank him in person for saving my life. Go and contact your little leader, and no matter what, let him come to see me and let me thank him in person. Shengnan, you must do it. If you don't thank him in person, I will die with my eyes closed..."
