Before Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the first interpretation of this book and the original version of the examination continued to be popular, but after five generations, even the manuscript was gradually dispersed, and even the title of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" was not preserved in the "Chongwen General Catalogue" compiled during the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there was an engraved copy of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", but it was verified by later generations as a forgery of Fan Qin, the owner of Tianyi Pavilion during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and had no reference value.
According to records, there are a total of thirteen articles in the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", which records the important historical events that occurred between Emperor Yu of the Xia Dynasty and King Xiang of Wei, and records the history of 89 emperors and 1847 years, such as Xia Qi killing Boyi, Taijia killing Yiyin, Wen Ding killing Ji Li, Gongbo and Gan thrones, etc., which have extremely high historical value for the study of pre-Qin history.
Such an important document was scattered in the war, which made the three old men linger all the time, and on the list they listed to Tang Dou, "Bamboo Book Chronicle" was ranked in the top ten.
When Tang Dou heard that Wei Wuji had come to Xianyang, the first thing he thought of was naturally to get the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", after all, this book was stolen from the tomb of King An Li, and with Wei Wuji's status in the Wei Kingdom, it was easy for him to get this book.
For today's people, this book is just a miscellaneous volume of chronicles, and its value is not very great.
However, Tang Dou did not expect to get this book from Wei Wuji's hands so easily, he forced himself to suppress the joy in his heart, and patiently talked with Wei Wuji, prompting Wei Wuji to strengthen his determination to reconcile with the Qin State, and did not get up to say goodbye until it was nearly dusk.
Moving the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" to the carriage, Tang Dou said goodbye to Wei Wuji with a smile, and pulled Xiao Qin Shi Huang into the carriage.
In the carriage, Xiao Qin Shi Huang asked whether to send Tang Dou back to Xianyang Palace, Tang Dou smiled and said: "Don't go back, I will take the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" away, you go straight back to the palace, if you want to find me, you can leave a book for me Huang Aya." ”
Seeing Tang Dou stroking the bookcase with excitement, Xiao Qin Shi Huang looked at Tang Dou with a grin and asked, "Master, your eyes are exactly the same as when you saw Jiuding." ”
Tang Dou was happy in his heart, laughed and bounced his fingers on the forehead of Little Qin Shi Huang, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, don't you hear that you can travel thousands of miles by reading thousands of books?" Master Jiuding likes it, and Master Jiuding also likes these bamboo slips. Okay, let's not talk nonsense with you, Master has something to do, so I have to go back first, and next time Master comes over, I must remember to bring you Peking duck. ”
After that, Tang Dou picked up the bookcase and tried the weight, which was still within the barely acceptable range, he smiled slightly and activated the crossing ring, and disappeared into the carriage with a bang.
Seeing Tang Dou disappear into the carriage, Xiao Qin Shi Huang thoughtfully stroked his little chin.
It turns out that the master not only likes Ding, but also likes bamboo slips.
Tang Dou's unintentional sentence resulted in the historical tragedy of 'burning books and pit Confucianism' caused by Qin Shi Huang's unification of the Six Kingdoms, this kid is just to please Tang Dou, so he frantically plundered all kinds of books, and Pit Confucianism is to cover up his plundering crimes before he kills, this is a later story, not to mention it at this time.
However, if Tang Dou knew that Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism because of himself, I don't know if he would beat Qin Shi Huang now.
Tang Dou appeared in the air villa with a bookcase, tired and stretched out his tongue for a long time, then changed back into his clothes and crossed back to the porcelain kiln at home, and waited until his breath was stable, then he opened the door of the porcelain kiln and walked out.
Tang Dou made an excuse to go to the porcelain kiln after dinner, in fact, his excuse was only for Geng Lao and Geng Lao's son, and the rest of the people tacitly knew what he was doing.
When Tang Dou pushed open the porcelain kiln door and walked out, the dawn had already faintly appeared in the east, it seemed that he had been busy working in the Qin Dynasty for so long, and a whole night had passed in reality.
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Tang Dou laughed self-deprecatingly.
I've been wearing it all day, my biological clock is out of order, and now I don't feel a little sleepy, and it seems that I need to take a jet lag.
Tang Dou knew that several old men should have gotten up at this time, so he crept back to the backyard, ready to wash up first and then go to report the good news to the three old men.
However, as soon as Tang Dou entered the backyard, he felt that something was wrong, the door of the room where Geng Lao lived in the backyard was open, and there was a stretcher cart in front of the door, and there was a little nurse in white standing next to the stretcher cart.
Tang Dou's joy in recovering the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" disappeared in an instant, and he hurriedly rushed over, ignoring the little nurse who was looking at him in surprise, and rushed directly into Geng Lao's room.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the people sitting in the room all looked at Tang Dou.
Tang Dou's scalp was numb for a while, the three old men were there, the parents were also there, and Yang Deng was also holding Xiaodouzi.
"What's going on?" Tang Dou asked urgently.
Zhou Lao quickly got up and grabbed Tang Dou's arm and pushed him inside: "You are finally back, Lao Geng insisted on seeing you, and he refused to get into the ambulance." ”
Tang Dou strode into the inner room, and a long sigh came from Elder Zhou behind him.
Inside the house, Geng's son and two doctors were guarding Geng's bedside, Geng's son saw Tang Dou coming in, hurriedly stood up to meet Tang Dou, choked up and said, "My dad wants to see you......"
At this time, Tang Dou had already seen Geng Lao lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he hadn't seen him all night, Geng Lao's face had lost his life, and those old age spots that were not too obvious looked so obvious at the moment.
Hearing the movement, Geng Lao slowly opened his eyes and saw Tang Dou, who had already walked to the bedside, with a smile on his face.
Geng Lao weakly raised his hand and patted the edge of the bed, and spit out a word vaguely: "Sit"
Tang Dou hurriedly grabbed Geng Lao's hand with both hands, and two fingers subconsciously pressed on the artery of Geng Lao's wrist.
Geng Lao smiled: "Don't bother, I know my own body best." ”
Geng Lao's pulse was fast and slow, and it was strong or weak.
Tang Dou's heart sank, according to Geng Lao's pulse, he had reached the end of his life.
Geng Lao smiled at Tang Dou and said, "Let them go out first, and I'll say a few words to you." ”
Tang Dou looked back at the two doctors, the two doctors knew that they had no way to recover, and they were just here to do their best, after all, this visit was arranged by the dean himself, and they knew better who Tang Dou was.
Geng Lao's son sent the two doctors to the door, apologized and said sorry, he was about to close the door, but Geng Lao, who was lying on the bed, said to him, "You go out too." ”
Geng's old son grinned secretly, nodded at Tang Dou, exited the room and gently closed the door.
Geng Lao breathed a sigh of relief, his body relaxed, he looked at Tang Dou who had just sat down and said with a smile: "I have a bottle of two pots under my pillow, you open it and give me a drink." ”
Tang Dou sighed, reached under Geng Lao's pillow, felt out a small bottle and two pot heads, unscrewed the cap and sent it to Geng Lao's mouth.
Geng Lao took a sip with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The stinky boy is so obedient, it seems that I really won't live long." ”
Tang Dou shook his head with a wry smile and comforted: "Uncle Geng, rest assured, you will be fine." ”
Geng Lao smiled, ignoring Tang Dou's comfort, he closed his eyes and breathed for a moment, as if he was reminiscing about the taste of the second pot head in his mouth.
After half a cup of tea, Geng Lao opened his eyes, looked at Tang Dou and said, "Boy, I'm leaving." Tell the old man the truth, where did you get all those treasures? ”
Tang Dou was not surprised at all by Geng Lao's question, and even said that he had been mentally prepared, he leaned into Geng Lao's ear and said softly: "Uncle Geng, it's not that I want to hide it from you on purpose, it's really too unbelievable. ”
Tang Dou paused slightly, and then said: "I have some strange abilities, I can travel to any time in ancient times at will, and those treasures are all brought back by me from ancient times." ”
Geng Lao didn't look surprised when he heard Tang Dou's words, he just shook his head and laughed.
"Stinky boy, from the supreme Xuande furnace you brought back, the old man suspected that your kid must be hiding something, and sure enough. Did those three old guys already know? ”
Tang Dou nodded slightly.
Geng Lao really wanted to raise his hand and slap Tang Dou's forehead, but he was no longer able to make such an action.
"Stinky boy, are you afraid that the old man will tell your secret?"
Tang Dou grinned, he didn't want to deceive Geng Lao, but he did have this worry.
Geng Lao smiled: "No wonder those three old guys are like being beaten all day long, forget it, don't worry about them." Stinky boy, punish you to charter a plane for the old man and send the old man back to his hometown. The fallen leaves come back to the roots, the old man can't die with you. ”
Tang Dou sighed softly, looked at Geng Lao and said, "Uncle Geng, you can rest in peace, I will arrange it." ”
Geng Lao closed his eyes tiredly, and pulled his hand out of Tang Dou's hand: "Go ahead, I'm afraid I can't wait." ”
Tang Dou stood up silently.
On the plane to send Geng Lao back to his hometown, Geng Lao passed away.
Three days later, Geng Lao's son sent Tang Dou to the local airport, put a small wooden box wrapped in red silk into Tang Dou's hand, and said in a choked voice: "Brother Douzi, this is what my father entrusted me to transfer to you before his death." ”
Tang Dou silently opened the wooden box, which was filled with various medals and certificates, all of which were the honors that Geng Lao had won in his life.
The old man passed on the honor of his life to Tang Dou.
Tang Dou burst into tears, holding the wooden box and nodding vigorously at Geng's old son.
This wooden box is too heavy, and when you pick it up, you can't put it down easily. (To be continued.) )
