Xu Zhi'an's spirit was rare and a little inspired, and he praised Wang Mang without hesitation.

Those days in Otsuki are gone, and now it's a new era.

What Wang Mang is doing is fundamentally changing the bottom situation of a country, for state affairs, Xu Zhian doesn't know much, and the identity of the imperial doctor was given to him by Lin Xiaoyi when he became the queen.

However, not knowing state affairs does not mean that it is impossible to distinguish between good and bad policies.

If you can't understand it, don't the people who are really affected still understand?

When the family continued to abuse, the people of the people were already quite happy.

After three years of tax exemption, the two years of tax collection were very small, and the most important thing was that the damned conscription could finally be offset by other means.

Even the people who really can't come up with the money and have to rush there in person have a lot of better food, and they can have a meal of meat in seven days, although it is only stained with a little meat, it is also extremely difficult.

Governing a large country is like cooking a small fresh, and actions can be carried out vigorously and resolutely, and the effectiveness must rely on the help of time.

Xu Zhi'an has seen different signs, and the neighbors around the courtyard also have smiles on their faces, five years have passed, and the imperial capital has returned to a prosperous scene, and hawkers can be seen everywhere.

In addition, there are also business trips from various countries, bringing different specialties from each country, and the era of war is truly gone.

The kingdoms are intersecting at an unprecedented rate, with little fortification, and even armaments are decreasing again and again—but the number of petty officials has increased dramatically.

It is foreseeable that at least in the next few decades, there will be no more wars between the surrounding countries, and the long-lost peace will come to this land that was almost sunk.

Xu Zhi'an, who had seen a lot of ups and downs in the Tai Hospital, was happy from the bottom of his heart, and said with a pleasant face: "Now some people have begun to praise your kindness, and this is all because of the things you have done. You have to keep doing it and don't give up halfway."

When people get old, they seem to be a little chattering.

The words that have been said are like a wheel in the mouth, and when it comes to it, it is actually the same set of words.

Wang Mang smiled and nodded, the tip of his nose was a little sour.

When he ascended the throne five years ago, the invective continued.

Five years later, his name has finally begun to circulate in the land, and it is no longer as dispensable as it was at the beginning.

"It's not all my credit, it's all about the victory, the public and some of the ministers are important. By the way, there is also Brother Gu, the national policy of spreading the land into acres is what Brother Gu told me. ”

Wang Mang did not take credit, on the contrary, he kept mentioning those people Xu Zhian also knew, telling about some changes.

Unlike him, an emperor who can be busy, Gongshang has been a scholar, and at this time it is a time when a country is forging ahead, and he is extremely busy, and there is no personal space at all.

Even if you have occasional leisure, you have to think about which person is suitable for what kind of official position.

Not to mention the fact that he is a giant of the Mo family, he is more busy than ever, and he has never slacked off for a day.

No matter from what point of view, Yu Lisheng has never insulted the name of the Mo family, let alone delayed the morality of Mozi.

He was able to inherit the position of the giant son not only because of the strength of the grandmaster, but also because of his indomitable determination.

It's just that the times have changed, and this giant has no way to add to his brilliance by doing anything earth-shattering, but this is also a kind of luck.

A time when heroes are needed is always full of tragedy.

The saints do not die, and the thieves do not stop.

It is enough to have Moqiu as a saint, and the Xia Dynasty at this time does not need a new saint to stand up.

The absence of a glorious resume shows that living in a peaceful and stable era, as long as you can give full play to your talents, it is a great blessing.

"You're all capable people."

Xu Zhian was very happy and was not annoyed by no one who did not come to see him.

On the contrary, because these people gathered around his bed and lashed out several times, but Wang Mang was not here at that time.

"I'm a bad old man, and I can still take a look at the appearance of the prosperous world, and this life is already worth it."

Xu Zhian said this with a smile.

When the White Lotus Sect Master occupied the imperial capital, no one could have imagined that the disaster would end so quickly.

Disaster and peace are separated by a thin line.

"Don't say that! You are the imperial physician of the Xia Dynasty, no matter what, you have to live a long life, so that you can set an example for the people of the world! ”

Wang Mang said immediately.

"A long life?"

Xu Zhian was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "I was lucky that I wasn't dragged out and hacked to death halfway." ”

In this era, it is not difficult for a person who really understands medical skills to live to be sixty or seventy years old if there is no catastrophe.

Further up, no one will have an accurate number.

But if you look at the life expectancy of Chinese medicine practitioners in Tai Hospital, if you really want to co-ordinate, it is probably not a beautiful number.

There are many people who die at the end of their lives, but there are also many people who are killed halfway.

I have to be a little glad that Emperor Zongming loved Fang Shi and didn't care much about the Tai Hospital.

has experienced too much life and death, and even the eternal separation of heaven and man, Xu Zhian has seen it.

To be able to live to old age and die, this should be the envy of many people's luck!

"I'll make a rule when I go back, unless it's a quack doctor who uses the wrong medicine or sees the wrong disease, I'm never allowed to anger the hospital."

Wang Mang immediately assured.

Hearing this, Xu Zhian seemed to think of something and said: "It's not too a hospital, it's not too a hospital, no matter when, it's best not to let that kind of thing happen." ”

"I'll try to do it."

Wang Mang didn't dare to give a guarantee this time.

When the power is in hand, the first generation may still be able to resist the temptation, but what about the second and third generations?

There is a saying in the mortal world, called the gentleman's ze, and the fifth generation will be beheaded.

There is also a saying that rich can not be three generations.

Families with wealth will either be rich and expensive after three generations, or they will be poor and white.

Even the virtue and fame of a gentleman can hardly affect people five generations later.

Wang Mang could only guarantee his conduct, but he didn't dare to say anything big.

He can't live that long, but according to Brother Gu's strength, he can probably see it.

If you speak great words at this time, you will be remembered when the time comes, and you will not be allowed to listen to the training in the grave.

When you become an emperor, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds.

"Good, good."

Xu Zhian nodded very happily, but his face showed a tired look.

After all, he is already old, and he will not have much time to talk, and he will feel weak and want to fall asleep.

"Go back, don't stay with me, you see, I can't sleep well."

Xu Zhian waved his hand weakly and didn't get up to send it again.

This time, no one argued, everyone walked out of the room very obediently, and Gu Dan walked last.

The door was close in front of him, and Gu Dan looked back.

Xu Zhi'an was already contented to lean on the bed and fell asleep, still with a smile on his face.

Quietly walked back, put Xu Zhi'an flat on the bed, tucked the futon for him, and left the room.

The people in the courtyard were all standing there, and their eyes fell on Gu Dan's body.

There was no sound, but it was as if words were in his eyes.

"Let's all go back to our own business."

Gu Dan lowered his voice and said in a very low voice.

"Mr. Gu, Grandpa Xu, is there really no way?"

Xun Ke asked very carefully.

Cang hugged Gu Dan's arm tightly.

Xiao Ying's delicate eyes were also firmly staring at him, full of anticipation.

Gu Dan didn't say anything, just shook his head silently.

This silent gesture gave them the clearest answer.

Xiao Ying wiped her tears silently, and the whole person hung on Gu Dan's body, and said as if she was rolling: "Master, you are so powerful, there must be a way!" ”

Only Wang Mang and Xun Ke were silent together.

If you can simply come back to life, then the Mo family giant at this time will not be a bird, but Moqiu.

In their hearts, they already have the answer.

People not only have good and bad luck, but also birth, old age, sickness and death.

No matter if you are a relative of the emperor, a virtuous minister or a good general, a holy monarch, a saint and a great man, or an ordinary Shengdou small people, you will not be able to escape.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that when moving towards another path, the world will call it an immortal, an immortal immortal, who can leave the sea of earthly suffering and get rid of the shackles of man himself.

When they truly realize that death is the destination of everything and that they are born to be limited, these guys, who are not very long-lived, will strive to create infinite possibilities in their limited lives.

Because death is like a shadow, shrouded all the time, so it is even more important to live up to the next world when you are alive.

No matter what, life still has to go on.

Time is fair, and it doesn't stand still because of anyone or anything.

Time is cruel, and every sunrise and sunset represents the passing of the old day and the arrival of a new day.

Xu Zhi'an has difficulty getting out of bed and moving around.

Someone had to hold him up.

The old body, which has reached the limit of all the organs, is silently protesting all the time, making him feel extremely tired.

Gu Dan no longer goes out, and he has always stayed by Xu Zhi'an's side.

When Xu Zhi'an wanted to go out for a walk, he would take Xu Zhi'an around.

As a great grandmaster, Gu Dan also took Xu Zhi'an to experience the feeling of flying into the sky, using his true qi to block all the wind, and looking down on the world from the sky.

Xu Zhi'an was lying on his back, his face was slightly pale, and his thin palms were tightly tensed, but his dim eyes were wide.

"It's beautiful!"

Looking down on the world from the sky is a completely different perspective.

The place where I used to live has become very small, and the pedestrians on the street are only the size of soybeans.

His eyesight is no longer very good, but he can still see the Wanshou Immortal Palace built on the mountain, which was the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty at this time.

Occasionally, someone looked up at the sky and was surprised to find that there were two more people in the sky.

Soon a group of soybeans gathered and pointed and jumped below.

Xu Zhian had a rare smile on his face.

When I went back that day, a neighbor came to visit the door, and I was very excited to say that during the day today, two immortals appeared in the sky, looking down on the world.

Everyone said that it was the soul of the saint, and the immortal official who led the soul of the saint to become a god, just because the saint was reluctant to go to this mortal world, so he wanted to see it for a while.

Xu Zhian laughed.

In his life, he can be regarded as an immortal.

It's probably worth it.

The autumn wind blew imperceptibly, and on the willow tree in the yard, the annoying cicada chirping finally stopped sounding.

But in the courtyard, no one has stopped for a long time.

Xu Zhi'an can no longer get out of bed by himself.

He began to be reluctant to go out.

When Gu Dan wanted to take him out, Xu Zhian just shook his head, and he began to look at a place silently in a daze.

Occasionally, he would mumble a few words that no one understood, facing an empty place.

But his consciousness is still sober and he can distinguish people, but there is no way to chat for a long time, and after often saying a few words, he will feel sleepy.

Gu Dan stayed by his side at all times, and after he fell asleep, he sat on the ground, quietly waiting for Xu Zhi'an to wake up next time.

While the countryside and fields become empty, autumn is gradually coming to an end.

On such days, Xu Zhian rarely got angry.

He was incontinent in bed.

Before, he couldn't move around, but he could still let Gu Dan support himself to solve the convenience.

But now, everything is out of his control.

Gu Dan saw the embarrassed and ashamed look on Xu Zhi'an's face for the first time, when facing him.

"Get out! Get out! ”

Xu Zhi'an shouted sharply, his face turned red, as if he had been greatly humiliated.

He's always been strong.

Never willing to show embarrassment in front of juniors.

But by this time he could no longer swing his fist, and even his voice seemed weak and weak.

Gu Dan silently cleaned up for him and walked out of the door.

Xu Zhian lay on his back on the bed, tears silently sliding down his eyes.

He's old.

It's time to die.

But the heavens seemed to be playing tricks on him, refusing to let him enter the mild night peacefully.

Death is not terrible, he has long accepted it.

But before he died, he had to go through such a thing, but it made him scold and want to die more simply.

He asked himself that he had never done anything evil in his life, so why should he embarrass himself and make his juniors uncomfortable when he is old?

The next day, Xu Zhian refused to eat.

Gu Dan took the boiled porridge and rice and handed it to his mouth, Xu Zhian just looked at him quietly.

"Uncle Xu, eat."

Gu Dan gently blew on the soup spoon to dissipate heat, as if he was taking care of a child.

Xu Zhi looked at him quietly.

"Uncle Xu, it's time to eat."

Gu Dan said it again.

"Dan"

Xu Zhi'an evoked Gu Dan's name.

The sound was very weak.

But Gu Dan could hear it, and he deliberately leaned his head closer, "Uncle Xu doesn't want to eat this?" Then I'll change it for you. ”

A palm was placed on his body, and Xu Zhian tried hard to get his body up, but he didn't succeed, so he stopped again, "Let me die." ”

"What?"

Gu Dan didn't seem to hear clearly, but the soup spoon in his hand suddenly cracked one after another for some reason.

"Let, I, die."

Xu Zhian looked at Gu Dan, his voice was weak, but his words were quite clear, word by word.

Gu Dan's whole person was already frozen.

It was as if an invisible thunderbolt was smashing down his head and face, his eyes were dizzy, and his mind was dizzy.

"Why?"

"Don't, don't let them see, see me like this."

Xu Zhian smiled hard at Gu Dan.

Gu Dan just shook his head, but his eyes were hazy, and he found that he couldn't see Xu Zhi'an's appearance clearly.

"Promise me."

Xu Zhi'an clenched Gu Dan's hand, his spirit cheered up, and he spoke hard, "I have lived a good life in my life. Now that I'm old, lying like this is torture. I won't wake up long, and I won't live for a few days. Don't disgust the kids in the last few days. ”

After saying a long paragraph, Xu Zhian began to inhale hard.

Even if he has the will to die, his body still has the desire to live.

"There is no disgust. No disgust."

Gu couldn't help but shake his head.

In front of this old man, who was too old and in his last years, the palms of the hands that had killed several grandmasters with his own hands were trembling.

"Immortal. It's torturing myself. It's torturing everyone. ”

Xu Zhian shook his head and looked out the window.

This is the best room in the courtyard with a panoramic view of the courtyard.

Since he was often sleepy, the small courtyard had been deserted for a long time.

They stood guard outside the door, always keeping an eye on the changes in the old man.

Xu Zhi knew it with peace of mind.

He is just an ordinary imperial doctor, he has never done any earth-shattering deeds, has never made any exploits worth boasting about, and has not even had a feat that can be used as a talking point.

The big thing that happened to him was nothing more than the early death of an old friend beside him.

Now that he is old, how can he let so many people revolve around him?

He was already tired.

I want to stay awake for a long time.

Gu Dan did not speak again.

He walked out of the room in silence.

After a while, Xiaoying and Cang both came.

"Uncle Xu hasn't eaten yet."

Gu Dan said.

"I'll feed Grandpa!"

Cang volunteered and was very positive.

Xu Zhi'an's eyes looked at Gu Dan, and Gu Dan's eyes also looked over, his eyes full of pleading.

Looking at Cang holding his small hand and handing the soup spoon in front of him, Xu Zhian sighed softly and swallowed hard.

Everything is so bland.

Lackluster.

When the autumn wind brings a chill, the sky is also drowsy.

Black clouds are overpowering, and there is no light in the dark day.

The winter thunder let out a dull and hoarse roar, and the beasts that had been dormant for a long time began to reckless, and the mighty light illuminated the heavens and the earth, revealing not a warm and beautiful scene, but a full of gloom and gloom!

At this moment, the brightness, ho, was reflected by the overwhelming dark clouds rolling in.

Bean-sized raindrops poured down all over the world, and the cold wind howled endlessly.

The unlocked gate of the Gu family's courtyard finally began to creak again.

The Xuanyao Gate that was replaced from the palace in the thirty-seventh year of Zong Ming could not withstand the wear and tear of the years.

In such weather, there are no more pedestrians on the streets.

Luckily, they still have a place to shelter from the elements.

In the small courtyard of the Gu family, there are more people who come today.

In addition to Gu Dan, Xun Ke, Xiaoying and Cang, Wang Mang, Yu Lisheng, and Gong Shangguo all came.

Xu Zhi'an has been in a coma in bed for three days.

They put down everything and went to the old man's bed, and came to visit him as people they had known in their lifetime.

In the room, Gu Dan sat quietly in front of the bed, like a sculpture.

His gaze lingered on Xu Zhi'an's chest, which rose and fell so slightly, that it almost made people mistakenly think that it had stagnated.

Judging from Aoki's judgment of life opportunities, Xu Zhi'an's life is like a burning candle, full of thick dead air, which can no longer be continued.

There was another thunderclap in the sky, and Gu Dan's trembling palms tried several times to hold Xu Zhi'an's hand.

A drop of cyan luster penetrated into Xu Zhi'an's body very slightly, and he didn't dare to make a slight mistake.

With the influx of subtle vitality, Xu Zhi'an's heaving chest quickened slightly.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Zhi'an woke up.

I opened my extremely tired eyes again and saw a huge number of people.

Feeling his slightly lighter body, his eyes looked at Gu Dan again.

Working hard, he squeezed out a smile towards Gu Dan.

"Everyone, come to see me, old man."

Xu Zhian said with great difficulty.

"Grandpa Xu!!"

Cang, whose eyes were already swollen from crying, heard him speak, and flew to the bed, but he didn't dare to touch his body, but he just kept crying.

With his crying, Xiao Ying's eyes were already red, and there were crystal droplets of water sliding down, suppressing her voice.

"Don't cry, don't cry, good."

Xu Zhian wanted to reach out and touch Cang's head.

But he had no strength.

Gu Dan saw his thoughts, gently took his hand, and put it on Cang's head.

Cang no longer moved, but the tears could not be stopped.

"I'm fine. Just a little sleepy. I'm sleepy. ”

Xu Zhian said hard.

All kinds of sounds were constantly coming from his body, urging him to rest quickly, to rest quickly, and every breath was like lifting a mountain, and then pressing heavily on his body.

The most important thing is that this once extremely familiar body no longer obeys his command.

Even moving your hands and feet has become a luxury.

He tried hard to say a few words to everyone, but before he could say a few words, his eyelids became heavy again.

A long dark moment hung over him, but instead of fear, he wanted to plunge into it.

Xu Zhi'an fell asleep again.

In the case of not so reluctantly.

In Gu Dan's hand, Qingmang persistently bloomed with a little brilliance, trying to maintain the energy needed for the body that was almost about to collapse, and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

In the next few days, Xu Zhian woke up several times.

Each time it lasts, it gets shorter and shorter, and if you can't even say three complete sentences, you will fall into a deep sleep again.

Gu Dan has never left.

Xiao Ying and Cang almost cried and fainted and refused to leave, or Xun Ke forcibly took them away and ate.

When he woke up again, Xu Zhian didn't try to say a few more words.

His eyes looked at Gu Dan calmly, and there was a pleading in those eyes!

The two looked at each other silently.

After a while, the green mangs in Gu Dan's hands finally bloomed.

Xu Zhi'an had a heartfelt smile on his face, and his tired body regained his vitality.

He sat up on his own.

Cang, who was lying on the edge of the bed in a daze, was awakened by Xiaoying.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Xu Zhi'an, who had already sat up by himself.

"Grandpa Xu, are you well!!"

Cang screamed in surprise, his voice sharp and hoarse.

"Alright, alright!"

Xu Zhi'an nodded at him with a smile, and once again hugged Cang into his arms.

With that pale beard, rubbing his fat cheeks.

Xun Ke expected something, and ran out of the door as if flying, and the closed gate of the small courtyard didn't even have time to open, so he was directly knocked to the ground, and the Xuanniao Gate, which had gone through two dynasties, fell to the ground, and he ran to the palace.

"Why did Xiao Ying lose weight?"

Coaxing the restless Cang in his arms, Xu Zhian looked at Xiao Ying again, and said with concern: "The girl is too thin, it's not good." ”

"Without Grandpa Xu's cooking, Xiaoying can't eat."

Xiao Ying squeezed out a smile and kept brushing her cheeks with her sleeve.

"You can't say that, you have to go up to the hall and down to the kitchen. Learn a good craft, so as to catch people The mother-in-law of my family, because the cooking is not delicious, I would rather stay in the hospital to eat than go home. ”

Xu Zhian had a narrow smile on his face, and made his own jokes, "For this matter, we have quarreled a lot in three days, you don't have to learn from her, cooking is salty." ”

"Xiao Ying will learn to cook well."

Xiao Ying nodded again and again, tears falling like rain.

Xu Zhi'an's face was flushed, his spirit was very good, and his speech no longer seemed weak and slow, "Cang has to work hard to study, you know?" Reading is good, it can make people understand the truth, know what to do and what not to do, and it is something that can benefit all people. ”

"Hmm."

Cang in his arms nodded desperately.

Xu Zhi'an looked at Gu Dan again.

On that old face, the smile became more and more kind, and he simply said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Gu Dan still didn't speak, he couldn't speak.

There was a 'bang', and the door was violently pushed open.

Xun Ke and Wang Mang, who was dressed in a dragon robe, ran back.

Xun Ke gasped for breath, looked at Xu Zhi'an who woke up, and tried to squeeze out a smile.

Wang Mang stepped forward, "Uncle Xu, you look a lot better." ”

"Hah"

Xu Zhian shook his head slightly, and said indifferently: "I'm going to die." After I die, don't give any preferential treatment to my unruly child because of me, if he doesn't have the ability, it will be enough to have something to eat. ”

"Don't say that."

Wang Mang wanted to be comforted.

But Xu Zhian took the first step and waved his hand gently, "You have to be a good emperor, don't learn from Emperor Zongming. Don't learn. ”

"I'm sure I'm not going to learn from him."

Wang Mang nodded with a firm reassurance.

Xu Zhi'an's eyes looked at Xun Ke again, "Ke has great talent." This kid is different, let Cang learn with him. ”

"Grandpa Xu!"

Xun Ke also came forward, and the bed was full of people.

Xu Zhian just smiled and chatted with everyone one by one.

In addition to taking care of him, he can give two careful advice to anyone.

It's not because he doesn't have care in his heart, but he knows very well that in his life, there is nothing to guide him.

All along, it's not that he's accommodating Gu Dan, but Gu Dan is accommodating him.

In terms of life, he himself is not very successful, but he has some insignificant experience, and in the conceivable future, Gu Dan will live longer than him.

Here, there is nothing that he can't rest assured.

"I'm a little sleepy."

After chatting for a while, Xu Zhian leaned on the bed and said something with a smile.

There seemed to be a sound outside, and there was some noise.

But he couldn't hear clearly.

It's just sleepy and tired.

The eyes closed unconsciously, and the drowsy and long darkness gradually enveloped in.

It's not scary, it's warm.

But in my heart, there seems to be something I can't put down.

Vaguely, it seemed that someone had not come to say goodbye to him.

Xu Zhian couldn't remember it.

He tried to think back in a drowsiness, and thought hard.

He began to resist the darkness, and his eyes, which had been closed, opened a gap.

In his dim eyes, he looked at a few people in a daze.

His gaze was fixed on Xiao Ying's face.

He remembered.

"Xiaoyi, you're coming to see me too!"

Xu Zhian was very happy, he held Xiao Ying's hand and gently put it on Gu Dan's palm, "You two. Don't be raw. ”

He's still admonishing.

I want to say something.

But there is no strength left.

Xu Zhi'an, asleep.
