On September 11, 1976, after dealing with some things, the *** on duty in Zhongnanhai said loudly to the staff:"I was feeling a little unwell and had to go to Beijing Hospital for a check-up. ”After saying that, he glanced around and left.
When the driver was about to drive to Beijing Hospital, ** said:"We don't go to the hospital, we go to Building 9 in West Huangchenggen. ”Arriving at Building 9, he cautiously got out of the car and knocked on the door.
The other party was very shocked to see him, ** didn't wait for him to open his mouth and said:"I'm afraid I'm being followed, and I only talk for five minutes ......”So what's going on here? Who are the people who are trying to meet? What did they talk about?
On September 9, 1976, after his death, the Politburo immediately convened a meeting to discuss the obituary and the manuscript of the eulogy. Unexpectedly, at this time, ** pushed the door in and shouted:"I don't care what meeting you want to have today, I only have one request, and that is to expel *** from the party! ”
The participants did not react after hearing this, and the expression on their faces was very indifferent, as if they had not heard the words of **. ** glared at her, then picked up the manuscript of the obituary and eulogy prepared in advance, and said:
"Time was tight and we didn't have much time to discuss, so we discussed the obituary manuscript first. The manuscript of the eulogy can only be reviewed once, but it will be printed and distributed to everyone when the time comes, and we will see if you have any comments and ideas. ”The obituary manuscript is more than 2,500 words, and after reading it, Zhou Qicai, then director of the Secretariat of the ** General Office, said: "Do you have any comments on this obituary manuscript?" If not, let them print. ”
The participants shook their heads, so they adopted the obituary and decided to announce the news of ***'s death to the people of the whole country on the radio that afternoon.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Politburo convened another meeting to study the manuscript of the eulogy and other things. ** was the last one to arrive, she was just about to sit down, but she didn't expect to see Xu Shiyou on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:"Comrade Xu Shiyou, I want to apologize to you, there is something I am sorry for you before! ”After speaking, he stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Xu Shiyou.
Surprisingly,Xu Shiyou didn't pay attention to **, but clasped his hands to his chest and looked ahead。** Ignored by him, he felt very embarrassed, so he had to retract his hand and walk to his place with a red face and a bowed head.
As soon as three o'clock arrived, the meeting officially began, and ** took the lead in speaking: "Before Comrade Dongxing said that it was recommended to add 'three wants and three don'ts' to the eulogy, I think this suggestion is very good, I don't know what you think?" After speaking, he looked at the *** and *** around him
** said: "I agree with Comrade Guofeng's statement. * also said:"Guo Feng and Ye Shuai said very well, and I also agree with Comrade Dongxing's proposal. ”Except for the "Gang of Four," everyone else present expressed their approval, and the "Gang of Four" could not express their opinions when they saw this, so they could only remain silent.
Eventually, *** said, "Since there is no objection, then add this important instruction to the right place!" ”
As time slowly passed, the "Gang of Four" led by ** became more and more arrogantRealizing that it could not be delayed any longer, it was decided to take action against the "Gang of Four".
**I want to hear *** For the opinions of "dealing with" and others, it is best to exchange opinions with him in person. But at that time, it was during the funeral operation, and there were still many things to be busy, and I couldn't leave for a while; What's more, *** lives in Xishan, it used to take a long time, and the goal was too big, so it was easy to be discovered by the eyeliner of the "Gang of Four".
To sum up, ** decided to send a trustworthy person to talk to *** on his behalf, so who should he choose? Thinking about it, a person's face came to his mind
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon of September 11, just after the Politburo meeting, he returned to Zhongnanhai with his secretary and driver. After being busy for a while, he said loudly to the secretary:"I'm a little unwell, you and I will go to Beijing Hospital for a check-up! ”The secretary instantly understood the meaning of ***'s words, and immediately said: "Okay, I'll let the driver prepare." ”
The car drove out of Zhongnanhai, and the driver was about to drive to Beijing Hospital, but ** stopped him, he said"I won't go to the hospital, let's go to No. 9 Hospital of West Huangchenggen first and go to Comrade ***. ”After arriving at the gate of Courtyard No. 9, ** looked around and got out of the car and knocked on the door.
It was *** who opened the door, he didn't expect *** to come, and just wanted to ask what was wrong, but was stopped by ***: "I came here under the pretext of going to the hospital to see a doctor, I can only talk for 5 minutes, let's go in first, it's not safe outside." * looked around, nodded, and said, "Let's go, let's go to my office." ”
After sitting down, without too much greeting, just said:
"I want to know what Ye Shuai's opinion is about the 'Gang of Four', but I'm too busy there to go in person, so I want you to talk to Ye Shuai for me. The four of them must be solved, but how to solve it and how to solve it still needs Ye Shuai to think about one or two. ”These few words instantly cleared away the haze in ***'s heart for many days, and he smiled and said:"Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me! ”
On September 12, ** suddenly said to the staff: "I haven't been in a very good mood recently, and I want to go to the Xiangshan Botanical Garden to relax." However, when he was about to arrive at the Xiangshan Botanical Garden, he said, "Forget it, I still won't go." I remember that Ye Shuai lives near here, so let's go see him! ”
Since *** and *** have "three chapters of the covenant", there is no special thing that will not meet. Therefore, when the guard called ** and told Comrade *** that he was coming", he was a little shocked. But he was shocked and realized that the other party had something important, so he said to the guard, "You let him in." ”
**After seeing ***, he didn't speak, and didn't speak until he was invited into the study: "Why did you come suddenly?" Is it business or just to come and see me? * Meaningfully, "Yes." * nodded, then turned the radio on.
Because Ye Shuai was old and the radio was very loud, when they talked about the "Gang of Four" issue, they did not speak, but conveyed it with a note. **Write on paper:"Please think about the timing and the approach. ”Nod your head and writeThe name is followed by a question mark, which means that it is not clear about the person's attitude.
**Write:"This person is completely reliable, please rest assured. ”Immediately afterwards, he leaned into ***'s ear and briefly introduced ***'s experience and the content of the conversation with him. ** and *** " for less than 30 minutes, but both had smiles on their faces at the end.
**After returning from ***'s residence, he immediately reported the content of his conversation with Ye Shuai to *** On the evening of October 4, ** and others watched the movie in the auditorium, and then met again to discuss the time and method of implementation. In the end, it was decided to adopt the method of "quarantine review", and the implementation time was on the evening of October 6.
On the evening of October 6, ** came to the Zhongnanhai Conference Hall as agreed. Immediately afterwards, under the deployment of *** and ***, the "Gang of Four" was arrested. At this point, the haze that shrouded the heads of the world was finally dispelled......
