C11 A Matter of Utmost Importance
That afternoon, a group of carriages entered the courtyard. The carriages did not receive any inspection, and as soon as the carriages arrived at the entrance, the guards immediately opened the gates and stood to the side to salute the carriages. It was obvious that there was an extraordinary person sitting within the carriages.
Just one?
It was more appropriate to say that they were two of the most powerful people in China, the one in charge and the two in charge. They had both come to the Summer Palace in order to meet Old Master Liu.
The Old Master had already been gone for many years. Although he still had many titles on his person, he would never leave the Summer Palace. If anything happened, someone would report to him, and the documents that needed his signature would be sent over here.
Old Master Liu didn't leave his home, but no one dared to treat him as if he didn't exist. He was the only survivor of the country, and he controlled the overall situation.
This kind of person was absolutely the key to the country's stability. For instance, the outside world was in an uproar, but since Old Master Liu stood out at this moment and said a few words, the outside world would definitely rush back and recover its peace.
Similarly, in the matter of national affairs, one had to discuss it with the old man. After all, the old man's rich experience was the country's greatest treasure trove. If one could discuss it with the old man, they could avoid any loopholes in detail.
But today, the heads of Department 1 and Department 2 had not come for national affairs, but solely for Liu Yi.
Right now, the city was not peaceful at all. There were rumors about Liu Yi circulating around, causing a great disturbance. More importantly, what Chen Jiajia had done was placed on their desks one by one, making the two heads very angry.
Chen Jian used the power in his hands to do a lot of things that were forced into action, but those were all superficial issues, and the things that were hidden behind them were the important matters of the country.
What made Chen Jian, a small Deputy Chief of the National Security Division, act so boldly? Without a doubt, it was because he had the Deputy Prime Minister's father-in-law that he dared to act so brazenly. And as his father-in-law, he had taken care of his son-in-law many times over the years.
Before coming here, Number One and Number Two had already agreed to arrange for Yang Dizhi to retire. However, he was, after all, a Deputy Prime Minister, so it was easy to arrange for him to retire.
More importantly, this happened after Liu Yi killed Chen Jian. If he made a move at this time, people outside would inevitably say that the Liu family used their power to suppress others and oppressed the Yang family for the grievance of their direct grandson.
However, Chief Number One and Number Two were both busy people after all, so there was no way they would have too much time. Thus, the two of them took advantage of this opportunity and looked at each other, forming a tacit understanding. Only after that did Chief Number One spoke. "Old Chief, all these years, Chen Jiajia had committed serious dereliction of duty, and even more, he had wronged many good people. All of this was caused by his father-in-law, so after some discussion, we decided to arrange for a medical discharge for Comrade Yang Dizhi."
"…" Old Man Liu didn't answer in a hurry. Instead, he muttered to himself for a moment, before turning to Chief Number One and asking. "You must be worried about my reputation because you're afraid that people will say that my Liu family is suppressing us with their power!"
"…" This time, it was Chief Number One who went silent. He really wanted to praise Old Master Liu, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Although Old Man Liu was old, he was far from being muddle-headed and clear-headed. As long as it is good for the country, you can do it and the sky won't fall. "
Old Master Liu had already expressed his opinion. He meant that as long as it was beneficial to the country, it didn't matter if the Liu family had a bad reputation. As long as it was beneficial to the country, they should do it.
"Yes."
The 1st and 2nd Chief responded in unison, their expressions full of respect.
At the end of a matter like this, Department 1 and Department 2 did not leave. That was because they had come here today for a purpose far more than this. What followed next was a matter of utmost importance. How could they leave if they did not speak of this matter?
"There is a brief pause, as though to give the change of topic a bit more time before the second chief opens his mouth." Chief, Little Yi's kung fu is quite good! "
Praise Liu Yi?
Hearing these words were indeed praises, but for someone to say such words in such a solemn setting and the person speaking was the country's second chief, there was another meaning behind the praise.
Old Master Liu raised his head and glanced at the second Chief Officer, a slight smile on his face. Very clearly, the old man was also very satisfied and happy with Liu Yi's skill, but he knew the purpose of the second Chief Officer's sudden mention of this matter, so he got straight to the point. A few days ago, he came to my place and puffed his beard and glared at me. I can't cure him, hmm, if I force him to do something, it will actually be unsightly, and it will even stir up a ruckus in his head. "
"…"
"…"
Silence. No matter if it was Chief Number One or Chief Number Two, they were both silent because they had already guessed that this would be the result.
"But obviously, Chief Number One doesn't want to give up and couldn't help but to speak up." Chief, the situation over there is getting more and more unstable. We used to be able to suppress it, but now there seems to be some unfavorable developments. "
His eyes were slightly closed, deep in thought. He was also making his decision, and after a long time, he seemed to have already come to a conclusion after a great battle between humans and heaven. Only then did he open his eyes and ask. Do you really think he can do it? "
"Haha …"
Chief Number One could not help but let out a bitter laugh. Actually, we don't know either, but little Yi definitely has that potential. "
Chief Two agreed, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded, indicating that he thought the same as Chief One.
"I'll try my best to convince him. I can't guarantee that he'll listen to me." Old Man Liu sighed helplessly.
Ever since the last time Liu Yi had confronted him, Old Master Liu had gone through a lot of hard thinking. He seemed to have realized that he was wrong, and ridiculously wrong. In life, happiness was the most important thing.
As for him, throughout the years, he had instilled his will, his own thoughts, and his own thoughts into the younger generation. The younger generation did not dare to oppose him because of his prestige, and could only force themselves to follow the path that he had arranged.
Only Liu Yi rebelled and ran away from home at the age of thirteen, leaving behind a patch of sky that belonged to him.
Old Man Liu really didn't want to force Liu Yi to do anything anymore, but it was a matter of whether the country was stable or not. Even more seriously, it was a matter of the country's safety.
"Chief, actually, Xiaoyi is more sensible. As long as he can reason with you, I think he will understand." Chief # 1 could not help but to remind him.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Old Man Liu didn't get angry because Chief Officer # 1 was lecturing to him. On the contrary, he threw a smile at Chief Officer # 1 as he said lightly.
They chatted with him for a while longer before both of them bade their farewells. From the beginning to the end, they didn't tell Liu Yi to do anything that would be public and transparent. Everything was left unsaid, only in the hearts of the three of them.
