among the ten great generals of new china, who has the highest status? su yu, who has outstanding military achievements? zhang yun逸, who has a long career? huang kecheng, who has a strategic superiority? in fact, none of them, but luo ruiqing, who said, "if the sky falls, luo's eldest son will hold it up."

since 1959, luo ruiqing has successively served as chief of the general staff, secretary-general of the military commission, vice chairman of the national defense council, director of the national defense industry office, and secretary of the central secretariat. he has taken on 13 powerful positions in powerful departments alone.

including all aspects of the party, government and military, some marshals' work still needed luo ruiqing's support to move forward. however, everything changed in 1965. luo ruiqing was suddenly controlled in a relatively confused situation, and his fate was completely different from then on.

in this sudden change, chen pixian was a key figure. he stepped forward to stabilize luo ruiqing. chen pixian felt very guilty about this incident for many years. soon after luo ruiqing passed away, he found an opportunity to apologize to luo's widow hao zhiping.

hao zhiping took these things very easy and even comforted chen pixian. such a broad mind is really admirable!

in august 1978, general luo ruiqing died in germany due to a doctor's mistake. hao zhiping was in great pain. he had survived the great pressure before, but he didn't expect to encounter an accident just after resuming work. it seemed like fate was playing a joke on him.

many veteran cadres were concerned about hao zhiping and hoped to help her get over her grief as soon as possible. chen pixian, then the first secretary of the hubei provincial party committee, repeatedly invited hao zhiping to stay in wuhan for a while.

hao zhiping could not refuse, so he finally agreed. after she arrived in hubei, chen pixian was very enthusiastic, but one day at a banquet, chen pixian said with tears in his eyes:i was sorry to mr. luo at the shanghai meeting that year.

hao zhiping was a little confused: you didn't say a word at the shanghai meeting, and luo ruiqing never mentioned anything wrong about you over the years, so what's wrong with you?

chen pixian said:that day i went to pick up mr. luo for a meeting.after hearing this, hao zhiping shook his head: what does that have to do with you? your superior has given an order, can you really disobey it?

then hao zhiping comforted chen pixian in turn, hoping that he would no longer feel guilty about it, saying that neither he nor luo ruiqing had blamed him over the years.

so, what exactly happened back then? what role did chen pixian play in it?

in the autumn of 1965, luo ruiqing, who was inspecting work in kunming, heard a piece of news that a central meeting would be held in shanghai, which made him feel a little puzzled.

although luo ruiqing was not a member of the politburo at that time, he was qualified to attend the politburo meetings, just lacking a nominal title. under normal circumstances, the central committee would not have held a meeting without notifying him, so he called peng zhen.

peng zhen’s reply is still unclear at the moment, but the state council conveyed a message saying that premier zhou will receive a letter tomorrow and we will know then.

at about the same time the next day, luo ruiqing called again. this time peng zhen was a little hesitant and didn't directly answer what the meeting was about. he just evaded the question:the meeting will be divided into two phases. you and i are in the second phase. you will understand everything in a few days.

luo ruiqing heard something strange, but he didn't think much about it and just listened to the news quietly. after the incident, he realized that peng zhen had already given the answer without naming anyone.

in november, luo ruiqing finally received the notice, and then he flew to shanghai with premier zhou. when he got off the plane, he found that chen pixian and wu faxian were waiting there early.

luo ruiqing also felt a little confused about this arrangement. generally, people from the general office of the central committee would greet people at central meetings, and local cadres did not need to show up.

the two people who came to pick us up were so unusual.wu faxian, with whom he had an average relationship, was unusually enthusiastic, while chen pixian, with whom he had a close relationship, was quite silent and looked a little nervous.

luo ruiqing was a little surprised, and asked chen pixian in the car what kind of meeting was going on, and why it felt a little strange? although chen pixian knew what was going on, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only point at the driver and the guard, indicating that the confidentiality discipline was in place.

then chen pixian changed the subject and talked about this and that for a long time until they arrived at their residence.

after chatting for a while, premier zhou and wu faxian left first, but chen pixian was uneasy. if he spoke, it would violate the organizational discipline, but if he didn't speak, he would feel bad. after thinking for a while, he decided to hint at it.

chen pixian suddenly remembered that shanghai was already in an uproar because of an article related to "hai rui dismissed from office", and many people wanted to see what luo ruiqing's attitude was. but luo was not interested in this and thought it was just an insignificant matter.

so chen pixian decided to start from this aspect. he suggested,chairman mao was very dissatisfied with the fact that beijing newspapers did not reprint yao's article.

the chairman expressed this attitude during private communication, and he specifically instructed people around him not to leak it. by doing this, chen pixian was already taking a huge risk.

luo ruiqing understood that chen pixian's mention must have a deeper meaning, so he immediately asked someone to find the pamphlet about yao, but he didn't know what chen pixian was thinking, and he still didn't take it seriously. after talking to chen pixian for a few words, he went to report to premier zhou.

taking advantage of this opportunity, chen pixian quickly checked his residence, confirming that the door lock had been removed, there were no sharp objects in the room, and straw mats had been laid downstairs, and other protective measures had been taken before he chose to leave.

chen pixian knew that luo ruiqing had a strong personality and was worried that his good friend would commit suicide, so he did what he could, but he didn't know...

the next day, luo ruiqing accompanied chairman mao to attend a foreign affairs event. chairman mao mentioned the article related to "hai rui dismissed from office" and asked luo ruiqing what he thought. luo replied:i have the booklet coming but i haven't looked through it yet.the chairman smiled and said nothing more.

after the foreign affairs activities, luo ruiqing said he wanted to go to suzhou to meet a comrade, and the chairman nodded in approval. unexpectedly, this was the last time the two met.

after returning to shanghai from suzhou, luo ruiqing was taken to the garden house on jianguo west road for isolation and investigation. only then did he understand why peng zhen, chen pixian, wu faxian and others were so abnormal. was this meeting actually aimed at him?

he couldn't figure it out, so he immediately wrote a letter to the central committee and chairman mao. however, things were different now, and his letter fell on deaf ears. soon, the organization issued a decision, removing luo ruiqing from 12 of his 13 important positions and asking him to reflect on himself.

at this time, luo ruiqing still had illusions and hoped that the organization would see the truth as soon as possible. however, at the military commission meeting on march 3, 1966, many members of the military commission criticized luo ruiqing face to face, and the problems became more and more serious, and the accusations were bigger and bigger.

the heavy pressure made this founding general feel suffocated, and he eventually went to the extreme just as chen pixian had thought.

fortunately, he was discovered and rescued in time, and luo ruiqing's life was not in danger. it was a blessing in disguise.

looking at the whole process of this incident, to be honest, it is not chen pixian's fault. he had no choice but to obey the orders from his superiors.
