Chapter 28 Fulfilling Promises

Li Xiaoqing also knew that this old man was the son of Emperor Tongzhi, and was a descendant of the Aixinjue Luo royal family who was serious about eight books, and during the reign of his father, the Qing government suppressed the Taiping Rebellion and suppressed the rebellion in the west and east. And successively pacified the changes in Shaanxi and Gansu, and at the same time established a new policy for foreign affairs, which was known as "Tongzhi Zhongxing" in history. However, it is recorded in the history books that the Tongzhi Emperor had no heirs, and his cousin Aixin Jueluo Zaiyan, who was later Emperor Guangxu, was enthroned.

Therefore, most people believe that the dragon seed of the Qing Dynasty was extinct after the Tongzhi Emperor, and a young man less than twenty years old died inexplicably in the Yangxin Palace, and in the Qing Dynasty's "Long Live Lord into the Medicine Bottom Book" recorded in detail the pulse case, illness and medication of the 36 days before and after Zaichun's illness on October 30, the thirteenth year of Tongzhi to the death of the fifth day of December in the first half of the same year, which completely proves that Zaichun finally died of smallpox. Most historians agree that Emperor Tongzhi died of smallpox, so smallpox theory is official.

But this disease is not too urgent, and there is also a chance for people to react, an emperor of the empire, it should not be difficult to find a doctor to treat smallpox, even if it is not cured, it can last a year and a half, and it will not die in a month. To say that Lafayette doesn't have any serious intentions to treat the emperor. Although this severe form of smallpox can cause complications such as sepsis, osteomyelitis, encephalitis, meningitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, otitis media, laryngitis, blindness and other complications, it will not kill people if it is treated properly. Of course, if this eared mouse is by the emperor's side, just let this little beast **** body, and then suck out pus and blood, the emperor is estimated to be fine in a few days, when the Kangxi Emperor was a child, he survived smallpox, but the Tongzhi of this prime of life was planted here.

"Alas, I'll just look at this copper coin sword, it's a thought, you can take it later, this thing is more useful in your hands than in my hands!" The old man weakly handed the sword to Li Xiaoqing.

Li Xiaoqing saw that the old man's breath was unstable and his mood fluctuated greatly, so he hurriedly crossed a breath of internal qi, the old man's eyes rolled, and then pointed to the box over there, and said, "I didn't expect you to be a person who practices martial arts, this internal qi is very mellow, I have a sharp blade in the box, you go and take it while you like it." ”

"Senior!" Li Xiaoqing was a little embarrassed, he had seen this person for less than two hours, and this person actually treated himself so wholeheartedly, Li Xiaoqing was really unrecompensable.

"Don't be so happy, I have a request for you, this sword is a reward for you, see the coffin over there, it is the golden silk nanmu, you are the apprentice of the Hui Shi people, you should know the feng shui clearly, right? The old man didn't think about forcing Li Xiaoqing to bury him in the Qing Tomb, it was enough to ask someone to find him a place to bury him after death.

"Little ear, he has been with me all my life, since Xuantong was forced to abdicate, I hid under this well with him, but let him be wronged, if I die in the future, let him follow you, more outside to breathe. ”

"Old man, I will definitely do my best for this!"

"Hey, you are really different from your master, that old bastard is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, it is estimated that he was early enough to count until the two of us met each other, so he would tell me, give me a hard flicker, but your kid is not as angry as his calculating book, but has a straight up and going Jianghu gas! The contents of this box seem to be specially prepared for you!" The old man was embarrassed to see Li Xiaoqing, so he reached out and opened the box in front of him, which was a long sword. Li Xiaoqing asked curiously, "What kind of sword is this?"

The old man looked at Li Xiaoqing and said with a smile, "Jiao Ke waved Pei Min's sword, and Zhang Xiao smiled." This sword is Pei Min's sword!" This Pei Min is a general of the Tang Dynasty, when Tang Wenzong, the world called Li Bai's poems, Zhang Xu's cursive, Pei Min's sword dance as "three uniques", and the world called "Sword Saint". The poet Li Bai once learned the sword from him. Although I have never seen how superb Pei Min's swordsmanship is, just Zhang Xu's cursive writing, Li Bai's poems are already admirable, and they can go hand in hand with the two, and they are called the three uniques of the Tang Dynasty.

"Senior, this gift is too big!" Li Xiaoqing pushed the box back and said very respectfully.

"Hmph! This sword made of cold iron and designed by a famous artist, if you don't want it, I won't be able to give it away after I die!" The old man threw the sword in front of Li Xiaoqing, and Li Xiaoqing hurriedly caught it. "Duyi Zhi" records: Pei Minjian "throws the sword into the clouds, dozens of zhang high, if the electric light shoots down, the hand holds the sheath to inherit it, the sword enters through the air, and the audience is thousands of people, all of them are cold and frightened."

Now that the sword is in his arms, Li Xiaoqing did not open the scabbard, but he felt the sword intent, and Li Xiaoqing couldn't help but feel excited. This afternoon, the old man and Li Xiaoqing began to have a long conversation, until the candle was lit, and when he saw that the old man was already sleepy, Li Xiaoqing climbed out of the well, and at this time he did not go to his residence, but went directly to Zhongnanhai.

The night was dark, but the lights were still on in the chief's bedroom at this time, Li Xiaoqing slowly sneaked into the room quietly, but the guards around him did not find Li Xiaoqing's existence at all, and at this time he saw the old man who was sitting in the room was the old man Zhang Zhen took him to see last time.

"Senior!" Li Xiaoqing said softly.

"Huh?" the old man never let anyone disturb him at night at work, and his guards and health care doctors knew about it. And no one ever called him a senior.

"It's me! I'm going to bother your old man. Li Xiaoqing said very humbly, this is not from the idea of the official position, but from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, it's you, are you really capable, aren't the people seeing you?" asked the old man, with some surprise.

"Senior, I have something to ask you for today!"

"Don't call me senior, you have the same temperament as Zhang Zhen at the beginning! Call me Uncle Deng!" The old man put down his work and looked at Li Xiaoqing kindly.

Li Xiaoqing saw that the old man seemed to be a little tired, and he also hurriedly gave the old man some real anger, the old man only felt warm, and the fatigue of this body disappeared in an instant.

"No wonder you can become Zhang Zhen's junior brother, the miracle doctor that Lao Nie said can't be you, right?" said the old man as he took out a cigarette from the drawer and lit it.

"That's it, it's just a little bit of medical skills, and I can't talk about a miracle doctor or anything. “

The old man stretched and continued to ask, "What the hell is the matter? Let you beg someone to come to me in the middle of the night, Zhang Zhen can't do it?"

"Indeed, my senior brother really didn't say anything about this, uncle, I think the Forbidden City Museum is quite old, and it hasn't been repaired for several years, right?

"Don't talk nonsense, if you have anything to say, you don't have to be sloppy with me, the Forbidden City was just finished last year, and I still have so many things to do!" the old man looked at Li Xiaoqing and said very seriously. Li Xiaoqing simply said the matter of the linden, but the old man was half-convinced, Li Xiaoqing was also a simple person, and saw that the old man was a little unbelieving, so that the old man had time to visit the Palace Museum, and the old man also wanted to see what kind of character the old man who lived under the Forbidden City for more than 30 years was.

So, under the arrangement of the old man, the Forbidden City began to overhaul again, in fact, from 1974 to 1976, the Forbidden City was intermittently maintained and overhauled, and it was renovated again in 77 years, and the groundbreaking did not have a big impact, and Zhang Zhen himself, as the minister of the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Transportation, naturally greeted the person in charge of the overhaul, and did not have to worry about what others knew.

Under a series of detailed and meticulous arrangements, the old man walked out of the deep well, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help falling when he saw the sun, from borrowing the minister's house as a child, to wandering around after the Republic of China, and then to hiding in the deep palace after the Sino-Japanese War to avoid chaos, the old man has experienced too much. In particular, after talking to the old chief, when the old man's request to be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Qing Tomb was agreed, the old man was very excited! Although he could not erect a tombstone, when the old man heard the promise to let him be buried in the imperial tomb, he was already satisfied.

Also in July of that year, after the First Plenary Session of the Central Committee, the old chief officially resumed his work and began to plan for the future development of the country; Zhang Zhen also completed the construction of the memorial hall in August, and it was soon opened to the people of the whole country; this year, Li Xiaoqing accompanied his younger sister Zhang Yanzi to take the college entrance examination, and got a general result, but he was still able to apply for a good school.

That year, more than 5.7 million young people across the country took the college entrance examination, but only 273,000 were admitted, and the acceptance rate was just 4 percent. It was at the end of this year that Pu Lin died, Li Xiaoqing abided by the agreement, and three days later the funeral of the old man's bones was placed in the Qing Tomb, not far from the tomb of his cousin Emperor Xuantong, Li Xiaoqing kept watch in front of the old man's tomb, and Li Xiaoqing did not leave with peace of mind until after seven or seven, and accompanied Li Xiaoqing for more than a month There was also the spirit beast ear mouse "Little Ear".
