After the general fell ill

At this time, my thoughts unknowingly drew back to the conversation between Ling'an Temple and Master Hongjing. Thinking that He Liang might know Master Hongjing very well, he asked: "Today at Ling'an Temple, Master Hongjing said that I have A happy event is coming, General He, does Master Hongjing often do this?"

He Liang put down his chopsticks and laughed loudly, "Master also told you that?"

The laughter was so loud that even the neighbor table couldn't help but look sideways. He Liang quickly restrained himself, and said under the puzzled eyes of the three people: "This is a habit of his old man. Every day when he has nothing to do, he meets a few people who suit his eyes." Donors don’t talk about Buddhism, and they don’t count as destiny, just talk about happy events.”

Mrs. He: "Why?"

"Buddhism pays attention to "cause and effect". The reason why Master Hongjing often does this is because a few decades ago, the master had a disciple who became a layman.

This disciple chose to return to secular life because of his love for a brothel girl. The master was very reluctant. This is his most satisfied disciple. He intended to train him to inherit the mantle, but the world is unpredictable. "

He Liang paused, picked up a piece of fish meat, spat out the fishbone in his mouth, and continued: "This disciple redeemed the brothel girl after her death, and soon married her as husband and wife. From then on, he lived without a fixed place and traveled around the rivers and lakes.

Over the years, although Master Hongjing did not find a suitable successor, he gradually stopped thinking about this disciple until one day. "

Speaking of this, He Liang sighed, as if he was trying to be tricky, ate a few more mouthfuls of fish, and said under Mrs. He's urging voice: "Unexpected things happened here, that brothel girl is really a martial artist. The middleman, who was reduced to prostitution because of the annihilation of his family, and after marrying that disciple, lived a life as a couple of gods and immortals. He had already let go of his hatred, but unexpectedly met the enemy of annihilation."

"After the husband and wife worked together to kill the enemy of Miemen, they discovered that the disciple had accidentally been poisoned by the enemy. At this time, the woman in the brothel was found to be pregnant.

The disciple had no choice but to return to Ling'an Temple after going to several places for diagnosis and treatment to no avail.

Master Hongjing saw the return of his beloved disciple whom he had not seen for many years, and he was very happy, but after the diagnosis and treatment, he was still frowning. "

"In the end, that disciple decided to take the risk and try the detoxification method in the ancient prescription..."

He Liang's eyes showed a look of unbearable, "This method is extremely dangerous. When using it, the pain of muscles and bones spreads all over the body. Master Hongjing doesn't know how to comfort his former beloved disciple, but that disciple wants to listen to Master Hongjing's lectures. In the end, he forced a smile on his face and asked Master to tell him some happy events.

It's a pity that the disciple couldn't make it through in the end. The brothel girl knew that she had nothing to love in her future life and wanted to die for love, but Master Hongjing stopped her and advised her to think more about her unborn child. "

"After this incident, Master Hongjing often used the word "happy event" on his lips, and he especially liked——"

He Liang looked Su Ce up and down, "General Su is seriously ill."

He Liang leaned back on the back of the chair, thinking: "Master Hongjing prefers the seriously ill, talking about happy events with them may be to make up for the obsession in his heart in the past, and hope that they can live, don't be like his beloved disciples. Such a painful death."

After the words fell, the dinner table was quiet. Su Ce's face showed no special expression, but Gu Yan's brows became tighter and tighter as he listened. .”

Seeing that there was almost no food left, the four of them chatted about other interesting things while drinking porridge. It was late, and after Gu Yan settled the bill, He Liang and his wife bid farewell to the two of them.

On the way home, the two sat in the carriage without speaking.

Walking to the gate of Gu's mansion, Tan Qiu, the housekeeper, had already prepared hot water and medicinal baths. When Su Ce stepped into the steaming room, he remembered that today should be the day for medicinal baths.

After Gu Yan waved his hand to let Tan Qiu leave, he silently prepared the things Su Ce needed for the medicinal bath. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was suffocated and had nowhere to vent.

He didn't speak, and Su Ce didn't make a sound. After putting the clothes on the rack, he sat in the medicinal bath barrel, closed his eyes and took a rest.

After realizing that his eyes were closed, Gu Yan walked to the wooden barrel step by step. The hot white smoke covered the flickering light in his eyes. If Su Ce opened his eyes, he would find that Gu Yan was nervous.

Today, listening to He Liang tell the story of Master Hongjing's disciples, hearing about the detoxification method, and the part of the pain like splitting muscles and bones, Gu Yan tried his best to restrain his thoughts from thinking of Su Ce.

Seeing Su Ce soaking in the medicinal bath now, Gu Yan couldn't help but think about it, and couldn't help asking: "An Lan, does it hurt?"

Su Ce raised his eyelids and said slowly, "It's okay."

This ambiguous answer didn't satisfy Gu Yan, just when he wanted to continue asking, he met Su Ce's indifferent eyes, as if mocking his unreasonable nervousness, telling him that he was used to it.

"Every time you drink medicine, does it hurt so much?" Gu Yan asked persistently.

Su Ce curled his hair casually, as if he didn't want to answer this question.Strange to say, ever since he was seriously injured and his body was washed away by poisoned alcohol, everyone who came into contact with him told him to take care of his health and advised him to endure the pain during the treatment process. With the great cause in front of him, he couldn't spare any energy to focus on his body.

Gu Yan was the first person who noticed this and asked him about it.

Because of this, Su Ce didn't want to answer him even more.Ever since he reunited with Gu Yan, he has been exposing his own pain and fragility in front of Gu Yan, and now it is just a side effect of the medicine, which is worthy of Gu Yan's fuss.

So he looked directly at Gu Yan and said, "Mr. Cao and Xue Yuanshi's prescriptions have very little side effects."

Seeing that Su Ce's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something unimportant, Gu Yan leaned over the barrel and said in a suppressed voice, "An Lan, you don't have to cover up in front of me. If you are in pain, just tell me and I will accompany you." You, don't support it alone, you can also-"

"You can rely on me, too."

——Gu Yan really cared about him.

Thinking of this, Su Ce thought of Master Hongjing's sentence today - "One leaf blocks the eyes, but you can't see your true heart". Gu Yan's true heart has been spread out in front of him, but he hides his true heart, seemingly agreeing to Gu Yan. The confession is actually laissez-faire.

If it is said that Gu Yan wants to live with him for a long time, he is just muddling along, without Gu Yan's deep determination.

Maybe, he should change.

23, also

——Why was Su Ce so active last night?

The Taiji Hall is solemn and solemn. In the early morning, all the ministers and workers were sitting on both sides of the hall holding wat boards.

The emperor Xiao Zhuo on the seat was dressed in a bright yellow court dress, and his eyes were not angry and majestic.

Xiao Zhuo was a pragmatic emperor, so he went straight to the point and said, "I intend to reopen the imperial examinations, what do you guys think?"

Gu Yan glanced at He Liang from the corner of his eye, Qi Ming's news was still reliable, His Majesty had already decided to reopen the imperial examination, presumably he had already discussed the details with Prime Minister Chen.

Today, in the court hall, it seems to be asking the opinions of all the nobles. If you want to ask, it is false, but it is true to beat the family.

As soon as this remark came out, except for some courtiers who shared the same heart with His Majesty, the courtiers from aristocratic families all frowned.

In the process of the former emperor Xiao Jiang's unification of the Northwest, the power of the aristocratic family was indispensable. However, as Xiao Zhuo ascended the throne, he has been suppressing the aristocratic family intentionally or unintentionally.

Today, only the Liu family of Yuzhou is the only family in the court like the Su family of Yinzhou in the past. However, His Majesty's empress was born here, so she naturally unconditionally supports any decision made by the emperor.

The foundations of other aristocratic families are not as good as the Liu family of Yuzhou, but if the bottom line is touched and united, it cannot be ignored.

As Gu Yan expected, soon there were a lot of chatter from the aristocratic family, which can be roughly divided into "disdain to be with the poor family", "where does your majesty put the aristocratic family", "can the aristocratic family directly..." "I think it's important It is very good to have an imperial examination," and several other schools of thought.

Xiao Zhuo, who was seated in the front seat, seemed to have expected the family's reaction, looked at Chen Su and said, "I don't know what the prime minister thinks?"

Standing in the past, Chen Su's figure is slim, her eyes are full of energy, she caressed her beard and said: "I think this is the best time to resume the imperial examination."

From Gu Yan's ears, it was Chen Su's quotations, going back to history, and talking endlessly about how the imperial court needed talents, and in short, the resumption of the imperial examination was imminent.

Soon, other courtiers who shared the same heart with Chen Su also started to discuss. After some remarks, most of the aristocratic family would blow their beards and stare, and stopped talking.

Anyone can see that this is just a good show arranged by His Majesty, and the aristocratic family can only be a coward and silently support the imperial examination policy.

After the court meeting was over, Chen Su was surrounded by a few courtiers from aristocratic families who secretly inquired about the news of the imperial examination, but Chen Su didn't hide anything, and bluntly said that the exam would be set for a few months, and dismissed the people around him with a few words.

At this moment, Gu Yan walked up to him, looked at the scattered courtiers of the aristocratic family in front of him, and said indifferently: "Jian Wei, the ability to talk nonsense is good."

Chen Su didn't turn around and look sideways, and joked, "It's not as good as Ting Yuan's ability to talk, so that His Majesty gave you General Su."

What he said was quite ambiguous, Gu Yan couldn't help thinking that He Liang misunderstood that he liked His Majesty's remarks, and said it from Chen Su's mouth, as if he was some courtier who slandered and flattered him.

Without waiting for Gu Yan to refute, Chen Su asked, "Has General Su's condition improved?"

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, and asked back: "Chen Chengxiang doesn't seem like someone who cares about patients, why, do you have something to ask An Lan?"

"An Lan." The two words made Chen Su chuckle: "I never thought that General Gu and General Su are so familiar."

Gu Yan glanced at him
