Chapter 327: Now I Want to Be Done
Bidding farewell to the elders who came to visit, Luo Yan returned to Lu Deming's room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Lu Deming smiling kindly at himself, Luo Yan's heart was bleeding incessantly. Walking over and sitting next to Lu Deming, Luo Yan grabbed Lu Deming's hand and said very seriously: "Teacher, believe in the disciple again." Don't be discouraged. ”
Looking at Luo Yan's solemn face, Lu Deming nodded slowly, and said a little weakly: "As a teacher, I have always believed in you. Whatever you want, just do it. After saying that, he closed his eyes tiredly.
Luo Yan gently folded the quilt for Lu Deming, walked to the table, and wrote down the prescription that he had been thinking about for a long time. Then he opened the door in a low voice, and let the servants waiting at the door go in to look at Lu Deming, and he walked out of the Lu Mansion and went to the market to buy medicine in person.
Lu Deming's body was already extremely weak, and any mistake could cause Luo Yan's entire plan to fail. Especially now that the materia medica has not yet developed to the later generations, many medicinal materials have the same phenomenon of medicinal properties and types, so this matter still needs to be handled by him personally.
Ginseng, Polygonatum polygonatum polygonatum multiflorum, Ejiao. But whenever he encounters a nourishing medicine of high quality that is old and can be used in Luo Yan's prescription, Luo Yan will buy them all. For two months, I'm afraid that there will not be enough medicinal materials.
After digging in the market for a long time, I gathered a pair of medicinal herbs. But this has already made Luo Yan very satisfied, a pair of medicines can be taken for two days, with this buffer time, it is enough to find more by himself.
Back in the Lu Mansion, Luo Yan immediately asked people to decoct the medicine. But he walked to the study and began to write letters to Lu Dunxin. Lu Dunxin is far away in Tanzhou, this letter comes and goes, to say the least, it is more than half a month, and if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that there will be some accidents at that time, and it will be bad.
When he handed the letter to his subordinates to send it, Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
What I can do and what I should do has been done now. If you still want to do something, then you can only beg the gods and Buddhas to let Lu Deming spend the last period of time in peace.
When it came to life and death, Luo Yan burst into tears again.
A month is coming. Lu Dunxin has not yet arrived, and the time for Li Shimin to send him to Yongzhou is approaching.
Just when the world thought that Luo Yan was about to fall into a dilemma, a request for Zhishi was placed on Li Shimin's desk.
"The grace of heaven is vast and magnificent. The Sacred Heart is willing, earnest. Chen Luoyan said: The previous repeated violations of national law led to the failure of the emperor's favor and the emperor's intentions in vain, although it is difficult to escape the blame for death. Thunder and rage, softening the heart and turning into rain. Do not condemn their crimes, but forgive their responsibilities. Although it is moved to the left, it is also in the Xiaoxiang Divine Land; The name is depreciating, but he lives in Yunmeng Immortal Township. This is the grace of His Majesty also.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. When he was leaving, his teacher was in doom. The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety has been the same since ancient times. I wanted to follow the king's orders and move forward, but I was worried about my teacher's illness and hindered my steps. So that his mind was in a trance, and he did not know where to go.
Sit and think about it, and feel trepidation. The righteousness of filial piety, the foundation of a saint. Or say: When the world is ruled by filial piety, why not? Those who are not filial are difficult to know kindness. It is because of the depth of the king's grace, and there are times of repetition.
A body of flesh and blood, cast by parents; Twenty years of livelihood, righteous brother. Idealism and sexuality, the teacher stands. These three are the foundation of Luo Yan. Parents who died early were not allowed to serve at the bedside; The righteous brother is rich and can still drive on horseback. Only the teacher is old, although he has a son, he is still the king's order, and he is not by his side. A teacher for one day, a father for life. Although Luo Yan is only a shallow learner, he also knows the grace of my teacher, which is more important than the mountains. He is ill but not on the side, pretending to be loyal to the king, but in fact he is in love with power.
He was invited by his ministers and served his mentor at home until he was old. Selfish, still begging for mercy.
Chen Luoyan said again. ”
Zhishi, originally an old official who felt that his mental strength was insufficient, so he would resign from the office. Or some officials made mistakes, but they could not punish them, and they would also be given a shot at the hint of the emperor.
It seems that these two kinds of officials are all high-ranking officials in their forties and fifties.
But now Luo Yan, a man in his twenties, is making such a fuss about it. How can this make Li Shimin embarrassed?
He also heard about Lu Deming's condition, and his body ran out of oil, and he didn't know what method Luo Yan used, so he got rid of it for a month. But even so, it's been a matter of the past few days. Luo Yan made such a fuss again, which really gave Li Shimin a headache.
However, the emperor has the right of veto in this kind of thing, although Li Shimin has a headache, he still made a decision not to allow Luo Yan to be a scholar, but correspondingly, Luo Yan can be left in Chang'an to serve Lu Deming for the rest of his life.
If this is the biggest concession made by Li Shimin, then the next thing makes Li Shimin's face a little unpleasant.
Luo Yan's note was rejected the next day, but the same note was sent by Luo Yan on the third day. Of course, this time it was re-transcribed, and a few sentences were added: "The teacher's grace is like a mountain, just like his parents." If you don't keep filial piety, how can you be a son of man? ”
Li Shimin almost fell to the ground in anger.
Li Shimin doesn't care what reason Luo Yan has, in a word, as above.
However, this time Luo Yan didn't have time to pay attention to what Li Shimin said.
Because just in the past few days, Lu Dunxin finally came back.
After being dusty all the way, he walked into the gate of the Lu Mansion and saw Luo Yan standing in the courtyard at a glance.
stepped forward, and before Luo Yan could salute when he saw it, Lu Dunxin had already begun to cry in a low voice.
was so sad that there were no tears, only the calm Luo Yan remained, just quietly looking at Lu Dunxin, a middle-aged man in his thirties, crying like a child. I wanted to say something comforting, but I found myself choked unconsciously.
Although there were no tears in the corners of his eyes, he was crying with Lu Dunxin in his heart.
The two big men stood like this in the courtyard for a long time, until someone whispered to ask the two of them if they wanted to eat something, and then they realized that the sun had already climbed overhead and was approaching the west mountain.
The breeze is cool, but it is far less sad than the heart. Luo Yan took Lu Dunxin's hand and took him to the residence, and after washing, he said to Lu Dunxin with a wry smile: "If the elder brother doesn't come yet, I'm afraid that the younger brother really won't be able to hold on." ”
This is not Luo Yan's invitation to credit in front of Lu Dunxin. His teacher doesn't need to talk so much at all, not to mention, Luo Yan can't plot anything on Lu Dunxin's body.
"This time it's really thanks to my junior brother. For my brother, if it weren't for you this time, I was afraid that my brother would regret it for the rest of my life. ”
"What did my brother say, Luo Yan was idle at home during this time, if he couldn't serve the teacher like this, how could he be a son of man." Luo Yan nodded, but did not continue to dwell on this matter, but said to Lu Dunxin: "I want my brother to know." Luo Yan's ability is not good, although he tried his best this time, it was just to let the teacher live longer. ”
This matter was not stated in the letter to Lu Dunxin, but now that it is mentioned, it surprises Lu Dunxin: "What? He just asked, and then slumped in his chair.
During this time, Luo Yan could only take care of the teacher, but the teacher was not prepared at all. Therefore, these things need to be bothered by my brother. Although it is extremely heartbroken, Luo Yan still can't hide what should be done.
Lu Dunxin nodded, said weakly, "I know", and never said again.
The two rested for a while, and then calmed down and accompanied them to Lu Deming's room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lu Deming, who was still resting, opened his eyes. When he turned his head and saw that it was Lu Dunxin who came in, for a while, the old master's tears also flowed down the deep wrinkles.
"I'm here." A simple sentence made Lu Dunxin lose his mind in an instant and cry. From the door to the window, kneeling and crawling to Lu Deming's bed, Lu Dun couldn't help kowtowing, but shouted in his mouth: "The child is not filial, the child is not filial." On the ground in front of the bed, two puddles of water instantly appeared.
Lu Deming smiled faintly: "Silly boy, it's good to come, it's good to come." There is progress these days, and the Father does not suffer much. Now you are here, rejoicing in your Father's heart. Well, stop crying. The matter of life and death is the destiny of heaven. I lived past my seventies, and I would have lived enough. Now that you have no regrets, you should be happy for your father. ”
Such comfort made Lu Dunxin stop crying, Lu Deming gasped for a while, and then said to the two: "Now that you two are by my side, while I still have breath, there are some things that I have to explain to you." ”
Lu Dunxin wiped the tears on his face, Luo Yan also knelt down in front of the bed, and Master Lu said: "Son, you are loyal and simple, and you would not have been worried about being a father. But officialdom is sinister, sometimes honest people are more likely to suffer, and in the future, as officials, you still need to pay more attention. Don't let people frame you for nothing. ”
Lu Dunxin nodded.
After saying Lu Dunxin, Lu Deming looked at Luo Yan again: "Jinzhi, as a teacher, I am more worried about you." You are already a prince of the country at a young age, and although you have made outstanding achievements, your foundation is still shallow. Although there are a few good friends between the DPRK and China, once the critical moment comes, they cannot be trusted. ”
Luo Yan nodded. The fact that I was grounded is the best proof of this. There are not many ministers in the DPRK who speak for themselves, but there are many who fall into the ground, which makes him so defeated.
Therefore, in the future, we still need to hone our temperament and guard against arrogance and rashness. I have taught many students all my life, but there is no one like you. As a teacher, I only hope that what you have learned will be passed on, and you will not be broken. ”
When Luo Yan heard this, sadness came from it, and he had been more in the officialdom over the years, although he was able to calm down and study, but he didn't have the slightest intention of teaching what he had learned. At this point, I am really ashamed of Lu Deming.
Kowtowing to Lu Deming, Luo Yan said, "Teacher, but please rest assured, Luo Yan will definitely not disappoint the teacher." ”
Seeing Luo Yan agree, Lu Deming laughed: "Okay, good, good." Okay, having said all that, I'm also a little tired, so you two go and rest on your own, so you don't have to look at it anymore. With that, he closed his eyes.
Luo Yan and Lu Deming got up lightly, looked at Lu Deming's even breathing, and then left. (To be continued.) )
