"I am ready to cancel General Xu Shiyou's special plane to Beijing and ask him to buy a plane ticket and take a civil plane to Beijing. ”On the eve of the convening of the National People's Congress, General Yang Shangkun, then secretary general of the Military Commission, shouted at the office and said solemnly, hearing this, Geng Biao was very puzzled.
So why did Yang Shangkun make such a decision to "slap the face" of General Xu Shiyou?What the hell is going on here?
[Group photo of Yang Shangkun and the great man].Let's move on. In 1978, when the great man died, the "Gang of Four" was crushed, and the special era finally passed, Hua Lao proposed to support the "two whatevers", namely:"We resolutely uphold all the decisions we make;We have always followed all the best instructions. ”This moment exploded among the masses of the people, who had experienced a special era at that time, and after the special era had passed, they were now discussing the "standard of truth." Hua Lao's support for the "two whatevers" has roughly divided the arguments in society into two factions: one is support, believing that there is absolutely no problem with the decisions and instructions of the great man.

After arriving in Beijing, General Xu Shiyou, who had already understood Yang Shangkun's good intentions, held his hand and said gratefully:"Secretary-General Yang, thank you, you think about me everywhere......”
