Chapter 25 Chapter 67

The Cultural Revolution had arrived in the spring of 1969. On this day, Ye Qun felt very hot for some reason. She stood up from her desk, walked back and forth in the room, and looked at the thermometer on the wall. It was exactly 18 degrees Celsius that she needed. Then he took a few steps impeccably, why is it so hot?She thought for a while, then turned off several big lights in the room, leaving only the desk lamp to illuminate one side of light, staring at this piece of light, Ye Qun still felt a kind of heat.The lampshade is made of red gauze, opening its mouth downward like a broadcasting speaker. The light on the desk also has a faint warm color. The halo reflected through the lampshade dyes the surrounding walls with a faint red, squinting at the lampshade With the harmonious and overflowing halo, Ye Qun couldn't help thinking, why didn't he think of changing to a green or blue lampshade?It must be much cooler that way, she then shook her head slightly, she doesn't like green lampshade, blue lampshade, sitting in front of the lamp, her face will be covered with green, it's too bad.

She opened the curtains and looked at the night outside. The night in Maojiawan was nothing but bungalows, two-story buildings, walls, and a few unnamed trees. In the quietness, she felt that this was true. It's night in Beijing.This is a city where millions of citizens are mixed together, and the upper political and cultural institutions of China are concentrated. There is a strong Beijing flavor in the air, which reminds you of alleys, pickle gardens, Tiananmen Square, the Great Hall of the People, The brightly lit Chang'an Avenue and the military compound compound at the foot of Xishan Mountain.Ye Qun drew the curtains, walked out of the room to the yard, and the night air of the capital immediately soaked her.In the spring at the end of April, it’s time to rush towards summer. There is a warm feeling, and the air caresses you comfortably and restlessly like piled up fluff.Peach blossoms, plum blossoms, and apricot blossoms have all bloomed, and the thanks have not been exhausted, turning the splendor at its peak into a warm and coquettish spring scene.

In Lin Biao's house in Maojiawan, all the lights and windows of the bungalows and small buildings were on.Lin Biao naturally sat quietly in his room, six or seven secretaries were also busy with their own affairs, and a dozen experts in philosophy, history, and literature were also busy completing their tasks day and night in their own rooms.Standing in the illuminated courtyard and walking around, Ye Qun can clearly feel that this courtyard is one of the centers of power in China. The telephone lines extending from here can direct affairs in all directions of the country. Of course, Mao Zedong's office in Zhongnanhai Acts openly or covertly under light.A large spider web is open. Lin Biao is a big spider entrenched in the center of the spider web. He does not move all day long, but he is sensitive to every movement on the entire web. Lin Biao likes to stop in silence. There was an imperceptible smile in his heart.She likes to move. She, the director of the Lin Office, must be the busiest office director in China. She presides over this compound and manages everything about Lin Biao. running in and out.She will personally investigate any feeling that the big spider Lin Biao has on the outermost and farthest ends of the web, and she will take back everything caught on the web, chew it and feed it to the motionless big spider, and then, Run tirelessly to all directions of the spider web.Lin Biao, the big spider, was deep and immovable, majestic, and a bit fragile; while she, the not-so-biggest but relatively big spider, was strong, brave, fiery, and happy to run around.

She still felt a little warm and dry all over, was it because of the willow catkins flying in the capital?The catkins flying all over the street fluttering on the face makes people itchy. Thinking about it this way, it seems that there are densely packed catkins flying in the clear night sky, and the starry sky is also blurred.She looked up at the confused starry sky again, and then returned to her room with light steps without knowing why. She felt that her body was still very young and vigorous, and she walked in a hurry without realizing it.She went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet to wet the towel, washed her face with cold water, applied the cold towel from her forehead to her eyes, to her cheeks, and to her neck. , I finally cut my hair, blinked and smiled in front of the large mirror illuminated by the lights on the wall.She is looking for the appearance and feeling of her youth when she first arrived in Yan'an through the shaping of the years: she was small, slender, and beautiful at that time, always rushing forward with great interest, when she climbed the mountain with the students of Kangda University She always rushed to the front.Looking at the present self, thinking of the past self, and thinking of her daughter Lin Doudou: this year is over 25, she looks like herself, but not as good-looking as she was when she was young.In the past two years, in order to find a partner for her daughter, she almost became enemies with her daughter. She couldn't get through the person her daughter wanted, and her daughter refused to accept the person she wanted to introduce to her daughter.She put down the towel resentfully, stared at herself in the mirror again, looked at her face with slightly protruding cheekbones, tried her best to get back a little bit of her past appearance, then pulled the light cord hard, leaving the darkness behind in the bathroom.

When she returned to the desk and sat down, she combed her hair back with both hands, regained the sense of sobriety that washing her face with cold water, and started what she was going to do.She looked at the desk calendar and wrote ten or twenty lines densely, all of which she had to do today.She has already ticked off the finished ones with a red pen, and now she has to hurry up on the unfinished ones. She looked at the unfinished items on the desk calendar, and the first item was four words: "Research on the Ninth National University". She smiled a little complacently at her own words, and then opened a piece of "People's Daily".The First Plenary Session of the Ninth Central Committee that just ended yesterday elected a new central leadership body. Mao Zedong was naturally the chairman of the Central Committee, and Lin Biao, as his successor, was the natural vice-chairman. Zhou Enlai, Chen Boda, and Kang Sheng were members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Twenty-one people, Ye Qun looked at the list of twenty-one people: Mao Zedong, Lin Biao (in alphabetical order of surnames), Ye Qun, Ye Jianying, Liu Bocheng, Jiang Qing, Zhu De, Xu Shiyou, Chen Boda, Chen Xilian, Li Xiannian, Li Zuopeng, Wu Faxian, Zhang Chunqiao , Qiu Huizuo, Zhou Enlai, Yao Wenyuan, Kang Sheng, Huang Yongsheng, Dong Biwu, Xie Fuzhi.She decided to study the Politburo list carefully.She took dozens of reading cards from a corner of the desk. They were snow-white, hard, and slightly larger than playing cards. On the first card, she wrote "Mao Zedong" with a thick pencil. The word "Lin Biao" was written on it, "Ye Qun" was written on the third card, and the next card was written on one card for each person. Twenty-one members of the Politburo wrote on twenty-one cards. She began to fiddle with these card.

The first arrangement is the order read in the newspaper just now, Mao Zedong is first, Lin Biao is second, and the rest are arranged according to the strokes of the surname, her Ye Qun is the third, and then they are arranged in order.Arranging the twenty-one cards here gave her a kind of fun self-satisfaction. Her surname has few strokes, and it is very convenient to arrange it according to the strokes of the surname. It is really very comfortable to rank third next to Mao Zedong and Lin Biao. a feeling of.She arranged the twenty-one cards in three rows, seven in each row, and admired them like a rectangular array for a while. However, she knew that there was no problem with this arrangement, so she collected them like playing cards. All received.

In the second method, she first ranked the members of the Politburo Standing Committee: Mao Zedong, Lin Biao, Zhou Enlai, Chen Boda, and Kang Sheng.The order of these five people must be meaningful, indicating that Mao Zedong is number one, Lin Biao is number two, Zhou Enlai is number three, Chen Boda is number four, and Kang Sheng is number five.Further down, who is number six and who is number seven? Ye Qun decided to arrange the twenty-one people in a row.She looked at the remaining cards in her hand, and pulled out Jiang Qing without hesitation, ranking sixth.Looking down again, she drew out three cards, Zhang Chunqiao, Huang Yongsheng, and Ye Qun. She squinted her eyes and compared the status of these people.For Zhang Chunqiao, she was not reconciled, and she was also unwilling for Huang Yongsheng; for Huang Yongsheng, she felt that Zhang Chunqiao was more powerful than Huang Yongsheng; Not to this position.After much deliberation, she ranked Zhang Chunqiao behind Jiang Qing bitterly, and compared the two cards of Ye Qun and Huang Yongsheng back and forth, smiling amusedly as she read them.Huang Yongsheng is not an annoyance to her. The first time they met, there was a special intimacy. It seemed that whoever was in front of or behind was fine. She ranked herself and Huang Yongsheng behind Zhang Chunqiao; After thinking about it, he ranked himself in the front and Huang Yongsheng in the back.In this way, she read it again from the beginning: Mao Zedong, Lin Biao, Zhou Enlai, Chen Boda, Kang Sheng, Jiang Qing, Zhang Chunqiao, Ye Qun, Huang Yongsheng.

She is now number eight in China. She squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and felt that this arrangement did not exaggerate herself. Huang Yongsheng is number nine, and she definitely did not humiliate him.Going down, she thought about it again, and ranked Yao Wenyuan as No. 10, Wu Faxian, Li Zuopeng, and Qiu Huizuo as No. 11, No. 12, and No. 13, and Xie Fuzhi as No. 14. It doesn't matter if Ye Jianying, Liu Bocheng, Zhu De, Xu Shiyou, Chen Xilian, Li Xiannian, and Dong Biwu are left. Twenty-one cards were lined up like poker cards. She looked at them for a long time, and she worked hard all her life. Now she is the eighth person in China and the second lady of China. It is not easy.When Lin Biao took over and became the No. 1 person in China, his status in China might change a lot.

She thought about it, and adjusted the cards again. Lin Biao's card was pressed on top of Mao Zedong's card. Mao Zedong disappeared, Lin Biao became the number one, and the order of the following was completely messed up.Zhou Enlai will definitely not become the No. 2 man. Can Chen Boda and Kang Sheng become the No. 2 man?After thinking about it, she ranked Chen Boda behind Lin Biao as the number two person, and temporarily put Zhou Enlai aside.Can Kang Sheng become number three?She thought about it and put it on number three for the time being.Can Jiang Qing become number four?She brought up her own card and tied it with Jiang Qing. After thinking about it, she ranked herself fourth and Jiang Qing behind her own card.Behind Jiang Qing, she removed Zhang Chunqiao and brought Huang Yongsheng to the front.When she went down the row, her thoughts became confused, because she had a vague feeling that the future political structure would never be arranged like this.She focused her eyes on the first few cards again, and once again she definitely ranked Lin Biao first, and Chen Boda, Kang Sheng, and Ye Qun's names tied for second place. She felt that it was inappropriate, so she put Chen Boda second. It was placed third, and Kang Sheng was placed fourth. After thinking about it again, Huang Yongsheng was promoted and placed fifth.Then, according to the structure of the standing committee this time, Lin Biao was placed in the position of chairman, Chen Boda was placed in the position of vice chairman, and Ye Qun, Kang Sheng, and Huang Yongsheng were ranked below, forming a five-member Politburo Standing Committee. , Jiang Qing and Zhang Chunqiao can go down the line.She stared at this arrangement, looking forward to it: Lin Biao is on top, old master Chen Boda is on the sidelines doing theory, she and Kang Sheng and Huang Yongsheng are members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo, this situation is very safe, she will still be Lin Biao's office director, she and old master Chen Boda are friends The relationship has been good since the Yan'an period, and now she and Huang Yongsheng quite like each other, and Kang Sheng is also very willing to associate with her now, so her role in China is pivotal.

She fell into a trance, imagined for a while, and then woke up again, thinking that this might be a very unrealistic prospect.She pulled out the card of Mao Zedong that was suppressed by Lin Biao, put it on top of Lin Biao, and immediately felt that the long-awaited arrangement fell apart.She shook her head ironically, and put the twenty-one cards in her hand like poker.This time, she's going to do some really calm analysis and arrangement. She rearranged the twenty-one cards on the table, and after looking through them, she picked out two cards from Zhou Enlai and Li Xiannian, put them on the far right, looked at them again and again, with a consciously smart smile on her face.In the 21-member Politburo, it is obvious that only Zhou Enlai and Li Xiannian are engaged in economics. This fully shows that the current regime is a regime that thoroughly criticizes the "productivity theory". Two to nineteen, a pitiful ratio.She took another overview, took out Mao Zedong's card, and put it in a high position, which does not need to be analyzed, and took out the cards of Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, and Dong Biwu, and put them on the right side, which was not in the palm of his hand for many years. Veterans with real power, these people's entry into the Politburo is purely a consolation prize.Then he took out the three cards of Ye Jianying, Xu Shiyou, and Chen Xilian, and casually placed them next to Zhu De and the others. This was just an arrangement made by Mao Zedong to balance the whole situation, without any substantive significance.Ye Qun looked at the remaining twelve cards and found that they contained the mysteries of the Cultural Revolution.She lined up six cards of Lin Biao, Ye Qun, Huang Yongsheng, Wu Faxian, Li Zuopeng, and Qiu Huizuo, which were basically Lin Biao's army team; she also lined up six cards of Jiang Qing, Kang Sheng, Chen Boda, Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, and Xie Fuzhi One column, this is basically the literati team of the Central Cultural Revolution.In this way, a political situation appeared in front of us: Mao Zedong was at the top, and the two groups below, the Central Cultural Revolution team headed by Jiang Qing, and the Lin Biao team headed by Lin Biao, controlled the real power in China with one article and one military.

Seeing this formation, she took Chen Boda's card out of the Central Cultural Revolution team and put it in the ranks headed by Lin Biao, then stared at the cards on the table and fell into thought.Zhou Enlai and Li Xiannian let them engage in production, which was thankless; Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, and Dong Biwu let them play false names; Ye Jianying, Xu Shiyou, and Chen Xilian let them be Mao Zedong's bargaining chips to balance the situation; now, the power in China is in the two teams of the Central Cultural Revolution and Lin Biao middle.Ye Qun looked at the formation in front of him again and again, mobilizing one card after another in thought, forming various changing formations.She discovered that the shift of any card would cause changes in the entire formation, which really affected everything.In the end, she couldn't make it any longer, so she got a mischievous mood, and simply removed Mao Zedong's card, pressed Lin Biao's card under her own card, then put her own card in the center, and put the rest of the cards All around him.She knew it was absurd, so she laughed, put all the cards away, put them aside, took out the red and blue pencils from the pen holder, and ticked off the item "Research on the Ninth National Congress" on the desk calendar. The next item is six words, "philosophy, literature, history".She stood up from the desk, raised her fists into the air, stretched her waist, turned on all the headlights in the room, pressed the paging button, and a tall, thin, middle-aged soldier came in. It was Lin Secretary Chu, one of the secretaries of the office.Ye Qun waved his hand and said, "Call the three professors one by one, first in philosophy, then in literature, and finally in history." Secretary Chu nodded and retreated. After a while, an old professor with a clean face and already bald head came in. His name was Liang Guowei, he was a relatively famous professor of philosophy, and he sat down respectfully in front of Ye Qun.Secretary Chu stood there tall and looked at Ye Qun asking for instructions. Ye Qun said, "You don't need to stay here anymore." Secretary Chu lowered her head and pulled the door and retreated out, as if afraid of the door knocking against her head.Ye Qun said to Professor Liang across the desk: "There is a task for you to complete." Professor Liang immediately got up from the chair, as if about to stand up, nodded repeatedly and said, "I will work hard to complete it." The blue pencil lightly tapped the stack of manuscript paper in front of him, and said, "This task is a relatively heavy workload, and requires you to complete it in a relatively short time." Professor Liang blinked at Ye Qun with a pair of goldfish eyes with cysts under his eyes, and nodded repeatedly. : "I will definitely work hard." Ye Qun said: "I ask you to make an index and introduction of the simplest, most comprehensive, deepest, and richest philosophers and masterpieces of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign philosophers." Professor Liang blinked, Because of the difficulty in understanding, his cheekbones became more prominent, and his chin became more pointed and thin. He swallowed, his throat rolled on his thin neck and asked, "I hope the director can give more specific instructions." Ye Qun leaned back on the chair, trying to use this posture to increase his sense of authority as a leader, and also increase the righteousness of his speech.The reason why she wants this index introduction is to enable herself to grasp the knowledge of philosophy quickly and simply. Following Lin Biao, she understands that all things in the world need to take shortcuts. She wants to master all philosophy at once through the simplest and most labor-saving way She will gradually appear on the political stage as a learned image.When she assigned her personal study goals to the philosophy professor in front of her as a political task, she felt a little bit guilty of selfishness, but fortunately, this kind of guilt was insignificant. Said in a calm tone: "The general requirement is to make people understand the development of Eastern and Western philosophies at a glance, and to clarify the context of philosophical development. In this regard, we must have a strategic plan and not be cumbersome." Seeing Professor Liang nodding repeatedly, she was nervous Then he emphasized: "However, it must be comprehensive and rich. Every representative philosopher and every philosophical masterpiece must have the simplest introduction." Professor Liang blinked and understood, and asked: "How far should the introduction go?" ? Professional level, or amateur level? Which aspects are introduced? How many words are introduced for each philosopher and each famous philosophical book?" Ye Qun thought for a while and replied: "It should be as simple and easy to understand as amateurs, and it should be as simple as It is as profound and comprehensive as professional ones, let’s put it this way, it should provide the highest level of required reading for the party’s senior leading cadres.” Only then did Professor Liang seem to have found the point. He stared at Ye Qun intently, and nodded in understanding.Ye Qun also said: "For example, for every famous philosophical book, its author, historical background, main content, status in the history of philosophy, main points of view, including a few famous epigrams, must be included." Seeing that the other party was still trying to understand, she put her hands together in the air, as if pasting a notice on the wall, and said: "You can do it card by card, and then copy it into a large form and stick it in a room." In the room, like some exhibitions, it takes half a day to go through it from beginning to end, so that people can understand the history of philosophy in the world." This metaphor undoubtedly gave Professor Liang a clearer concept, and he nodded repeatedly.Ye Qun also found an explanation that made her excited and satisfied. She stood up and walked around the room, stretched out her hands and gestured at the four walls and said, "In the end, we need to make a copy that is neat, clear, and clear at a glance. It can also be accompanied by appropriate pictures and posted in a room. If the walls are not enough, you can also set up a few display shelves in the middle, just like a small philosophy exhibition. By the end of the book, you will understand Eastern and Western philosophy, and after reading it a few times, you will be able to remember it clearly, and it should be made into a high-level index introduction.” Professor Liang nodded repeatedly and said: “I see, the director’s instructions are very specific. I will hurry up and finish it." Ye Qun nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This task must be done to a high level. People who have seen this exhibition should have the most comprehensive knowledge and understanding of Eastern and Western philosophy. Alright, I will give it to you." If you have any difficulties and problems, you can report to Secretary Chu, and if you make a part, you can hand it over to Secretary Chu, and I will spare time to take a look." Professor Liang nodded repeatedly, bowing a little gone. Ye Qun was very satisfied with the exhibition room plan that she had inadvertently thought of. She didn't have time to read one philosophy book after another, and she didn't bother to engage in such tedious philosophy. Knowing the history of Eastern and Western philosophy, you can quote classics in your speech and say some extraordinary and amazing high-level theories.Thinking of this, she was very excited, and her palms were sweating as she walked around the room. When Secretary Chu led Hong Puzi, a famous Chinese professor from Beiqing University, in, she seemed to be very familiar with everything and had a high command.As soon as she came up, she did the same thing, asking the other party to make the most concise and comprehensive, deepest and richest index introduction to the history of Chinese and foreign literature, also using the analogy of running an exhibition room.Professor Hong had a darker rectangular face and gray hair. He seemed a little excited when he heard the task assigned by Ye Qun. Naturally, he didn't dare to smoke in front of Ye Qun. However, when he opened his mouth to speak, heavy smoke overflowed taste.Sitting there, he put his hands on his knees and said: "I will definitely complete the task, but it requires a lot of materials, including a lot of literary classics. I have read some books, but I have to go through them again for indexing and introduction. Some books may I haven’t read it yet, so I need to read it first.” Ye Qun waved his hand boldly, and said, “You can contact Secretary Chu later, we have enough literary books here, probably more than the average university library "Professor Hong immediately nodded excitedly, and said: "This will be easy to handle. I didn't expect the chief and the director to care about literature so much." Ye Qun paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, obviously proud of his intentions.Since the Cultural Revolution, she has collected a large number of literary masterpieces, and many military academies across the country have been closed. When she heard about it, the first thing she thought of was to empty out the library of that school, picking out useful books, and some The two factions in the military academies were in full swing, so the library was naturally sealed up, and she also sent people to collect useful books. Now, Maojiawan can be regarded as a library with a certain collection of books.She was excited by the thought that she would soon emerge as a master of world literature without much effort. She has always admired Mao Zedong's profound knowledge, and was often inspired by Jiang Qing's performance in talking about the past and the present. Now, she wants to work hard in secret, and one day she will suddenly reveal it and make everyone look at her with admiration.Mao Zedong must talk about history, talk about Qin Shihuang, talk about Han Wudi, talk about Tang Taizong, talk about Zhu Yuanzhang, talk about Cao Xueqin, talk about Li Bai, talk about "Liaozhai", talk about Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Li Zicheng. Arm yourself in the fastest way possible.She looked at Professor Hong who was sitting stiffly in front of her and said, "You have to complete this mission well, and at the same time, keep it secret. All missions now are political missions, and political missions are related to politics. What you do for the Proletarian Command Once you get a job, the Proletarian Command will have affirmation for you. The Proletarian Command also has political considerations, which you don’t know about.” Professor Hong nodded repeatedly, standing a little chubby He got up, because the shoulders were a little slumped, and the arms were longer, quite like a tame chimpanzee.Smelling the strong smell of smoke on his body, Ye Qun restrained his disgust, smiled slightly, and said, "Go and do it as soon as possible." A professor in his fifties walked away with an old-fashioned gait. Ye Qun looked at his back with a hint of contempt. She liked strong people.Thinking of Lin Biao's pale complexion and sitting still all day long, she narrowed her eyes and shook her head helplessly, then immediately raised her spirits and received the third professor of history.This time, she appeared more righteous and awe-inspiring, more amiable and calm, and more condescending and well-led.When she thought that she would soon appear on the Chinese stage with an image of knowing the past and the present, the excitement in her heart not only made her palms and soles sweat, but even her waist and lower abdomen became hot and humid. The professor of history who came in had a pale face, a little hunchback, and was wearing a blue cloth dress. His pale and thin face was covered with wrinkles like the vicissitudes of history.He quickly understood Ye Qun's instructions, and his only embarrassing expression was: "The chief also asked me to make a set of historical cards about the struggle between the reform and the conservative lines." Ye Qun knew that it was a task assigned by Lin Biao, and she He waved his hand and said, "Both tasks are political tasks. You should do them as soon as possible." The professor's surname was Bai, and he asked a little timidly, "Which task should be completed first?" Ye Qun said, "Complete it together." Professor Bai Nodding his head, Ye Qun asked: "Is there any difficulty?" Professor Bai thought for a while and smiled, and said: "I feel good working for the Proletarian Headquarters." He was led by Secretary Chu, and walked out respectfully. After leaving the room, he held a book in both hands respectfully and said: "This is a book I wrote in the past, please correct me, the director." Ye Qun magnanimously accepted the book, put it on the desk, He waved his hand as farewell. Ye Qun was very satisfied with her intelligence and ability. As soon as the door was closed, she stretched her fingers above her head and pulled herself into the air with her palms up. When her heels left the ground and she stood on her toes, she actually made a Dance moves, in this way, she looks younger and more slender.Probably because of her short stature, she has liked to do this pull-up dance since she was young to express her joy. In this way, she stretched her legs and feet facing the sky, and then landed on her heels comfortably. Relax and vibrate to liberate the whole body and mind.She really wanted to do several pull-ups one after another, because she felt that the warmth in her whole body was released a little during the stretching. However, the vibration of her feet landing made her immediately aware of her tension and busyness.She went to the writing desk, and used a red pen to tick off the item that had just been completed, and the three characters of the next item stood out: "Chen Boda".A smile immediately appeared on her face. One day last month, she went to visit Kang Sheng in Building No. 8 of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. When she came out, Kang Sheng was sent to the door of the building. Ye Qun was about to get in the car, but Chen Boda, who lived in Building No. 15, walked here.After recognizing each other in the soft and bright headlights, Ye Qun was a little unnatural for a while.When she came to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, she paid great attention to the delicate relationship here. Jiang Qing lived in Building 11, Kang Sheng lived in Building 8, Chen Boda lived in Building 15, the Central Cultural Revolution House lived in Building 16, and Zhang Chunqiao and Yao Wenyuan lived in Building 16 when they arrived in Beijing. She always only visited one person at a time, and always let the other person understand that she only visited one person. After visiting Kang Sheng today, she naturally couldn't visit Chen Boda again, and she didn't want Chen Boda to know about Kang Sheng.At that time, Chen Boda was very surprised, with a hint of displeasure evident on her face, she pretended not to know and greeted with a smile, and said goodbye to Kang Sheng and Chen Boda.In Chen Boda's mind, Ye Qun was the closest to him, and he came to Diaoyutai to see Kang Sheng without telling Chen Boda, which undoubtedly made Chen Boda a little unhappy.When Ye Qun's car drove out of the State Guesthouse, she looked at the trees, roads, rockeries, rivers, small bridges and pavilions illuminated by milky white lotus lamps in the State Guesthouse, and felt a little embarrassed to be caught doing something secretly. Laughing self-deprecatingly, thinking that if there is a chance, he must adjust this relationship well.She has such a subtle one-way connection with the owners of several buildings in Diaoyutai, which makes her feel that Lin Biao's political position in China is more stable. Thinking of this, she called Chen Boda.As soon as the other party's hard-to-understand Hokkien dialect was exposed, she smiled and said, "Old Master, I am reporting to you." Chen Boda was naturally very gentle and polite.Ye Qun said: "I've wanted to visit you for a long time. I've been in the Ninth National Congress for a month, and I can only meet you in person. I don't know when you have time? Are you welcome to go to Building 15?" Chen Boda said: " Building 15 will always open the door to you.” Ye Qun smiled and said, “I know, there is absolutely no need to give advance notice to go to your place. To go to other buildings, it is a polite courtesy call, and to socialize, you need to make an appointment by phone in advance. Good. Going to your place is commonplace for me, even if you are sleeping, I will break into your bedroom and gossip with you, you know that." Chen Boda smiled happily on the phone.Ye Qun had always been a bit dependent on Chen Boda's side, but as soon as he said these few words, the intimacy between them melted away everything.Chen Boda said: "You can come anytime, but it's best not to come for my afternoon nap." Ye Qun said: "That's not safe, what is it for?" Chen Boda laughed happily again.Ye Qun said on the phone: "Comrade Lin Biao is full of praise for your speech at the Twelfth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee and the speech at the Ninth National Congress." Chen Boda said over there repeatedly: "Learn from Vice Chairman Lin, thank Vice Chairman Lin encouragement." Ye Qun hung up the phone feeling very satisfied and comforted. After the word "Chen Boda" was crossed out with a red pen, she was still immersed in a satisfied smile.She is capable, she is doing everything for Lin Biao, she is weaving a bigger spider web for Lin Biao. The next item that popped up on the desk calendar was also three words: "Wu Faxian".Ye Qun hung up the phone without even thinking about it. Calling this fat pig-like air force commander is the last thing you need to be mentally prepared for.As soon as Wu Faxian heard her voice, he immediately became energetic, very respectful and affectionate, which made Ye Qun taste the good taste of making this call from the very beginning.This call was entirely for his son Lin Liguo. Since Lin Liguo joined the army in March 1967 and joined the Air Force, four months later, on July 1, 2067, Lin Liguo joined the party. Now, nearly two years later Time passed, and both she and Lin Biao felt that it was time to make new arrangements for Lin Liguo.Wu Faxian said on the phone: "I wish Vice Chairman Lin good health. Does the director have any instructions?" Ye Qun smiled and said: "Comrade Lin Biao heard from Liguo last month that Commander Wu cared about him very much and has been training him. "Wu Faxian said: "Where is it? I don't care enough. I hope the head and the director will criticize more." Ye Qun went on to say: "Liguo has been in the Air Force for almost two years. It means that I hope that Commander Wu will demand him more strictly in the future, give him opportunities to exercise, and give him more burdens." Wu Faxian said on the phone: "The chief and the director put Liguo here, which is the greatest trust in us. The greatest encouragement." Ye Qun said: "When Liguo came back, he often talked to Comrade Lin Biao about the work of the Air Force Command. His reports made Comrade Lin Biao very satisfied with Commander Wu's work in all aspects." Wu Faxian said again and again: "Thank you Lin Biao The vice-chairman’s concern, thanks to the director’s guidance.” Ye Qun said again: “In short, I hope that Commander Wu will be more difficult and strict with Liguo, so that he will have more opportunities to practice.” Wu Faxian said repeatedly: “Yes, yes.” After finishing the phone call, Ye Qun thoughtfully ticked off the name of "Wu Faxian". At the same time, he recollected the conversation just now, judging whether Wu Faxian understood what she meant.After thinking about it for a while, she raised her fists into the air again, feeling that she was doing everything she could every day, and it was very effective.The warmth and dryness of spring caressed her like catkins all over the sky.She glanced at the remaining items on the desk calendar, stood up, and stacked the card of the twenty-one members of the Politburo that she wrote just now, and other materials to be read in the middle of the night, including the book that the history professor gave her. He went into his bedroom. The air in the bedroom was softer and quieter, but the warmth and dryness all over her body still irritated her. It was already midnight, and she still didn't want to sleep.She arranged the twenty-one cards on the desk again like playing cards. Here is still a red gauze lampshade, still shining a warm light, and the overflowing light halo is still reddishly staining the walls. On the wall, she arranged the twenty-one cards in various formations.Suddenly, with an idea, she took out a blank card and wrote "Lin Liguo" on it. She tried to put Lin Liguo in it as well.She found that Lin Liguo was suppressed in this formation and couldn't show it. Once exposed, the entire camp will fall apart again, and a new pattern will emerge.Putting Lin Biao first, himself second, and Lin Liguo third, this arrangement is ideal.She moved the cards around on the table, arranging them in various ways, looking for a way for Lin Liguo to enter this camp. Then, with a self-consciously ridiculous smile, she put the cards away like poker cards, and put them aside.Then, she took out a large photo of Lin Liguo and looked at it carefully under the lamp: her son looks like Lin Biao and herself, but he is fatter than his parents.She took out a stack of photos of girls and looked at them one by one. They were all beautiful girls: from Northeast China, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Xinjiang, Wuhan, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, In Kunming, forty or fifty large photos were going through one by one under her hands, and finally picked out five or six satisfactory ones, put them on the table and compared them repeatedly under the light, and then put them side by side with Lin Liguo's photos Put them together to see if they are harmonious. 她正在为儿子找对象，她动员了可以动员的全部力量，儿子已经二十四岁，她决心为他找一个最漂亮最可靠的女孩。这样摆弄了一阵，她将所有的照片摞在一起，与林立果的照片一同收到抽屉里。 她从抽屉里又拿出一本日记，有些紧张地将其打开，似乎那里会蹿出可怕的壁虎一样。 这是女儿林豆豆的日记本，这两天女儿不在家中，她偷偷从女儿的房间里拿过来，决心仔细研究一下女儿对自己、对整个家庭的态度。她已经做好了思想准备，然而，当一页一页翻看时，依然羞恼气怒，脸色越来越难看，最后，狠狠地将日记本合上了。自己在女儿眼里是暴君，是家庭专制，是法西斯包办，是歇斯底里，是泼妇，是野心家，是两面派。关上抽屉，她有些怔愣地看着眼前，双手按着写字台一下站了起来。不该管的事，她不再管；该管的事已经很多，忙不过来。她决定只管儿子的事，不再管女儿的事；想通了，也便不恼了。她在房间里踱来踱去，已经半夜了，她却没有一丝睡意。年轻时精力充沛，现在愈发精力过人，想到今天晚上的一系列成功，她觉得这个晚上没有白过，再想到白天处理的各项事宜，便觉得今天一天都没有白过。她每天都要前进，每天都要有成绩，世上无难事，只要肯登攀，她不禁为自己发明的学习哲学、文学、历史的聪明方法而感到豪迈。 又一股暖燥涨满全身，她在房间里十指交叉两臂向上，引导着全身伸向天空，脚尖绷直立了好一会儿，又猛然脚跟落地震动全身，这一下，放下心头一切烦恼，十分豁朗，十分兴奋。她想了想，非常痛快地拉开抽屉，拿出林豆豆的日记本出了卧室，来到林豆豆的房间，推门开灯走了进去。一个寂寞而又冷清的房间，桌椅及床铺都在灯光下规规矩矩地放着，几双鞋在床前不整不乱地摆着，房间里没有尘土覆盖，却像是尘土覆盖，有一股女儿房间特有的气息。她拉开写字台抽屉，将日记本放回原处，关上抽屉，又有些恨恨地扫描了一下整个房间，就拉灯出来了。 脑子闪了闪，又进了儿子林立果的房间。开了灯，写字台面对窗户放着，床上是还算整齐的白床单，一床绿色的军被，箱子没有关严，椅背上、门背后都搭着一些衣服，窗台上零零散散放着一些零碎，书架上排着不多的书。她四处看了看，见到铁丝上晾着林立果一件没洗的脏背心，便抽了下来，揉一揉握在手中，关灯拉门出来了。回到自己的卧室后，她将房门插上了。她把被子拉开，将枕头拍松摆好，将儿子的背心放在鼻子下面嗅了嗅，目光朦胧地想了一下，放在了枕头边上。她又到卫生间里用凉水将全身上下洗浴一遍，当她穿着汗衫短裤对着卫生间的大镜子时，发现自己还有不错的女人味，腰也还不粗，胸部也还不瘪，身上的皮肤比脸上更白一些，正面看看，侧面看看，背过来看看，觉得还能和二十多年前年轻时的样子联系在一起，只不过皮肉松弛了，那是年龄挡不住的。 她钻进被窝里，在暄软的枕头上躺下，就着床头柜上的一盏台灯翻看着从办公室拿来的那摞材料。儿子脏背心的汗味微微地熏在脸前，这是她早就发现的治疗自己失眠症的秘方。她最初发现，只要将林彪穿脏的内衣放在枕边熏着自己，就能较好地入睡，那是很多年以前的发现了。后来她又发现，儿子的衣服更能起到这样的作用。启发她这个发现的是《参考消息》上读到的一则消息，就是男人汗腺分泌的气味可以使女人月经正常。能够使月经正常，大概也能使女人的睡眠正常，她为自己这个绝密的发现十分自得，仅此一例，就能证明她是绝顶聪明的女人。这样翻看着材料，儿子脏背心的气味幽幽地熏着她，墙上的挂钟也就走到凌晨两点钟了，身上的暖燥似乎慢慢平息下去，一股飘乎乎的睡意开始在床上慢慢浮荡起来。 她看完最后一份文件，拿起了白教授送给她的那本书。这是一本纸张已经有些发黄的旧书，书名是《自从盘古开天地》。突然，她像被咬了手一样，将书丢在地上，非常恐惧地往床的另一边躲，躲得不对，又勇敢地坐起来，两眼直直地盯着那本扔在地上的书。在那本书的封面上，画着一条蛇的图案，那样子让她十分恐怖，当她盯视那本书时，那条蛇就从书的封面上摇摇晃晃地爬起来，昂着头盯视着她，吓得她直往床头靠。她使劲眨眨眼睛，澄清自己的目光，蛇又缩到了书的封面上，盘在那里晃着头。她想了又想，终于鼓足勇气，趿拉着鞋下了床，去捡那本书，刚刚拿到手里，却又被“蛇”咬一下，将其扔到更远的地上，看了看手，果然有些红肿。她拉开抽屉，拿出一把大剪刀，更勇敢地朝前走去。这次她蹲下来，用剪刀将封面连同上面的蛇一同剪断，同时用力将书的封面撕下来，用剪刀将它剪得粉碎，先将这些碎片扔到纸篓里，又将整本残书扔到纸篓里，这才放下剪刀，准备上床。刚上了床，觉得不安全，又趿拉着鞋走过去，拿起纸篓走到门口，将门打开一条缝，将纸篓放到门外，再关上门插好，这才觉得安全。临上床前，又到卫生间将剪过蛇的手反复洗干净，上到床上，立刻关了床头的台灯，钻到被子里将头蒙上。 过了好一会儿，她露出头来，黑暗中浮现出更多的恐怖，她这才清楚地回忆起封面上的图案其实是一个人头蛇身的怪物。当这个怪物在眼前浮浮荡荡出现时，她就觉得更恐怖了，身下的床似乎都在扭动，或许会有一条与人一样粗的蟒蛇钻到她的被窝里，这个幻觉一出现，她就觉出自己整个身体在挣扎着扭动。终于，她大喊一声，身体像触电一样猛然挺起，又很重地摔在床上，出了一身冷汗，恐怖似乎才慢慢淡下去。接着，就有一个形象古怪的老头开始轻轻抚摸她，她像七八岁的小女孩一样缩在黑暗中一动不敢动，任这双苍老冰凉的手在她娇嫩的皮肤上一遍遍抚摸过去。她像是被月光照透明了一样空空洞洞地躺在那里。在一片恍恍惚惚中，她知道恐怖最终会熬不过疲倦；当疲倦越来越重地落下来时，她终会在恐怖中睡着。
