Zhuo Qihua

Outside the gate of Bo Pingning's mansion, many carriages were parked.Uncle Pingning Hu Pengju was critically ill, and the court ministers who got the news came to Uncle Pingning's mansion one after another.As a person who pioneered the medical discipline of Mata country, Ping Ningbo has a very important position in the court.Now, over 90 years old, he has come to the end of his life.

A carriage studded with gold leaves was escorted by the imperial guards and exclusive attendants to the Pinningbo Mansion.At the gate of the mansion, the housekeeper of Uncle Pingning's mansion, who came to see the grandfather for the last time, saw the carriage and immediately ordered someone to call the old man out.Zhuo Ji, dressed in plain clothes with only a braid and a veiled hat, got off the carriage.Jin Dashi, Liu Haoyue, Chang Jing and Xiaohui followed behind him.Zhuo Ji hurried up the steps, and all the people standing outside the door of Uncle Pingning's Mansion knelt down: "Your maid bows down to you."

"Get up."

Left a sentence in a hurry, Zhuo Ji quickened his pace.The butler personally led him to the grandfather's room.On the way, Zhuo Ji met the masters of Pingningbo Mansion who came to greet him.

"Cause!"

Uncle Pingning's son and daughter-in-law knelt down, their eyes flushed, but their emotions were fairly stable.

"Get up."

Lin Xieshan, Shi Yu and others who came with Uncle Pingning's master saluted one by one. Lin Xieshan stepped forward and said, "Why are you here?"

Zhuo Ji: "Uncle Pingning is dying, how can I not come."

A group of people escorted the sudden arrival to Ping Ningbo's room.White lanterns and white cloths have already begun to be spread out in the mansion.Hu Pengju is nearly 90 years old. For his imminent death, the entire Pingningbo Mansion is mentally prepared.After Hu Pengju fell ill last month, Zhuo Ji was also mentally prepared.

Hu Pengju's wife passed away many years ago, and he lives alone in his courtyard.Seeing that Chu Chu was about to enter the house, Hu Pengju's eldest son hurriedly said, "Cu Chu! No way!"

Zhuo Ji: "There are not so many rules!"

Liu Haoyue, who was well aware of Chu Cui's temper, directly opened the door curtain, and Zhuo Ji stepped into the room without hesitation.The sadness of the father's imminent departure did not make Hu Pengju's children shed tears, but this move by He Xi made them shed tears one by one.Lin Xieshan, Shi Yu, Guan Minghui and others also followed in.

Zhuo Ji went straight into the bedroom, saw the gray-haired old man on the bed, he slowed down and walked over.Liu Haoyue quickly moved a stool from the side and put it beside the bed, Zhuo Ji took off the veiled cap and handed it to Chang Jing, and sat down beside the bed.

"Uncle Pingning."

The old man with his eyes closed slowly opened them, and a warm hand held his withered hand.Hu Pengju suddenly became refreshed, and his blurred vision became clear instantly.

"俍..."

"Don't talk." Zhuo Ji patted Hu Peng's hand lightly and said, "I'll come and see you."

It is "I", not Bengong.

Dirty tears rolled down the corners of Hu Pengju's eyes, and he tried to shout: "忍...俍..."

Zhuo Ji smiled faintly, raised his right hand, wiped the corners of Hu Pengju's eyes with his sleeve, and said, "Uncle Ping Ning, you are really old."

Hu Pengju also smiled: "It's... I'm old..." After taking a few breaths, he tried his best to say, "I can't, I will...serve...you..."

Zhuo Ji: "Everyone is mortal. In a few years, I will die too."

Lin Xieshan and Shi Yu frowned in the back, they didn't like to hear the word Chu Chu say it.

Hu Pengju tried his best to nod, yes, everyone is mortal...but he wanted to live a long life of a hundred years, a thousand years, a long life...

"Chen, minister..."

Zhuo Ji listened to him, and Hu Pengju tried his best to say: "I...don't regret...(this) life, I have no regrets..."

Zhuo Ji nodded: "Yes, your achievements in this life are enough to be recorded in the annals of Mata country's history."

"I... I... I want... I know..."

Zhuo Ji: "You all go out first."

The people in the room immediately retreated to the outside, Lin Xieshan was the last to go out, and closed the door behind his back.Knowing what Hu Pengju wanted to ask, Zhuo Ji whispered his secret calmly: "I come from another world thousands of years later."

Hu Pengju's eyes suddenly widened.This is what he wants to figure out the most in his life, and it is also the obsession and doubt in the hearts of many people in this life.Where do you come from, why do you know so much.

Outside the door, Lin Xieshan, who was standing by the door and trying to prick his ears, lowered his head to hide his constricted pupils.

Zhuo Ji: "In that world, I am a doctor."

Hu Pengju's wide eyes gradually returned to normal, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised up, and then his eyes gradually closed, with a smile of no regrets for this life on his face.The hand that Zhuo Ji was holding was covered with age spots and gradually lost his strength.

Zhuo Ji let go of Hu Pengju's hand, took a last look at his friends in this world, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and got up.Walking to the door, Zhuo Ji opened it.The people outside the door saw him all knelt down.

Zhuo Ji: "Uncle Pingning, go."

At the scene, Hu Pengju's family members covered their mouths and cried.

"Uncle Pingning is over 90 years old, and he is very old and blessed. He handles his funeral with joy and funeral."

"Yes... 忍俍..."

"Get up."

Everyone stood up.Zhuo Ji went out, everyone moved out of the way, what Shi Yu wanted to say was pulled away by Guan Minghui beside him.Zhuo Ji said lightly: "I have returned to the palace."

"Congratulations -"

Zhuo Ji went out, Lin Xieshan followed.Seeing this, the others stayed where they were, and Lin Xieshan obviously had something to say to Zuo Zu.

Without asking what Lin Xieshan was doing, Zhuo Ji went outside and put on his veil again. Lin Xieshan said, "I'm still looking forward to you, don't be too sentimental."

Zhuo Ji: "Duke Sui will accompany me for a walk."

Lin Xieshan made a gesture of invitation.Zhuo Ji's footsteps were not fast, the people in Uncle Pingning's mansion were signaled by Jin Dashi and Liu Haoyue who were not far behind him, no one disturbed him, they just saluted silently and left quickly.

Walking out of the courtyard where Hu Pengju lived, Zhuo Ji said: "In my life, I am actually extremely lucky. As a maid in the harem, I can have freedom and many friends, and I have also received a lot of support from these friends. Uncle Ping Ning , is one of them."

"I understand."

Zhuo Ji: "Birth, old age, sickness and death is a fate that everyone cannot escape. Uncle Ping Ning lived his life with no regrets and no regrets. I am happy for him that he can leave with a smile. In the future, if I have such a day, I will I also hope that the people around me will not be sad."

Lin Xieshan didn't like what Chu Chu said, and said seriously, "You will live a long life, Chu Chu!"

Zhuo Ji smiled, but turned around and said: "Uncle Pingning's achievements should be enough to be admitted to the ancestral temple."

Lin Xieshan: "I also intend to present a performance to Your Majesty."

Zhuo Ji nodded.

"Puuuuuuuuuuuu."

Zhuo Ji turned his head.

Lin Xieshan: "Do you know why His Majesty wants His Royal Highness King Qi and the others to go to a lonely place overseas?"

Zhuo Ji turned to the front: "A dynasty will perish, but a civilization may be passed on forever. And civilization needs people to spread it."

Lin Xieshan's pupils tightened again.

Zhuo Ji: "When the distance is no longer a problem, whoever can have the most advanced civilization will be the master of this world. I don't know what the surname Nan Rong will represent in a thousand years, and where will the civilization of Mata country spread to? Go. But we need to plan for the rainy day. If you stay here, people will be lazy. Mata country is far from the time when you can be lazy. Never underestimate the efforts of others. When one day, other civilizations catch up with us, then This kind of destruction is not as simple as the change of a dynasty, but our entire nation will be enslaved and trampled underfoot."

Lin Xieshan's heart is full of ups and downs. Is it because he knows what will happen in a thousand years, so he has to plan ahead to avoid the possibility of the nation being enslaved?His voice became hoarse: "Chen, I understand."

Zhuo Ji: "The development of things is always the law of a parabola. While the Lin family is still in its heyday, let's divert the Lin family's children."

Lin Xieshan: "My lord, I would like to abide by the edict of Chu Chu Yi."

Lin Xieshan personally sent Zuo out of the gate of Uncle Pingning's mansion. At this time, white lanterns had been hung outside the gate of Uncle Pingning's mansion.After going out of the gate, Lin Xieshan stood still, and Emperor Yuren stopped there quietly in the open area under the steps in front of him.Zhang Xian stood beside Yu Ren.

Zhuo Ji: "I'm leaving."

"I respectfully send you to me."

Zhuo Ji walked down the steps, walked to Yu Ren, and got into the car.Lin Xieshan saluted, watched Yuren turn the horse's head, and watched Yuren leave.

Inside the car, Emperor Yong'an frowned slightly: "I learned that you left the palace, so I came to pick you up."

Zhuo Ji snuggled into Emperor Yong'an's arms and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not particularly sad. You should know that I take life and death very lightly. Hu Pengju is a long-lived person, and I will be ready when he gets sick. "

Emperor Yong'an heaved a sigh of relief, and hugged Zhuo Ji tightly: "You can see the last side?"

"Yes. He left with a smile."

Emperor Yong'an: "Hu Pengju should have no regrets to see you before his death."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, you are 53 years old."

Emperor Yong'an hugged Zhuo Ji tightly: "Give me a few more years."

Zhuo Ji nodded.

After Hu Pengju passed away, Emperor Yong'an ordered Hu Pengju to be posthumously named Marquis of Pingning and entered the Royal Ancestral Temple.King Ning was not familiar with this old man whom his mother and father trusted so much, but he knew that when his mother and father were pregnant with him, it was this old man who found out, otherwise, his mother and father would not have known his existence.

On the day of Hu Pengju's funeral, King Ning went to Uncle Pingning's mansion with the prince, second brother and other brothers.After returning from Ping Ningbo's mansion, King Ning went to Xiangfu Palace.As the only prince in the palace who has passed the age of 8 but has not moved to the prince's residence, Prince Ning can enter and exit any place in Danyang Palace at will.

"Father, are you sad?"

Zhuo Ji looked at his son who was full of serious eyes, and replied equally seriously: "Mother and father are naturally sad when they lose their friends. But birth, old age, sickness and death are normal for human beings. Uncle Ping Ning walked away peacefully and without regrets. From this point of view Look, mother and father are not sad. Mother and father's sadness will only make him go away."

Wan Zhen pursed her lips: "If my friend dies, I will be very sad."

Zhuo Ji: "Because you are still young, your life has just begun." Putting down the pen, Zhuo Ji touched his son's head, "Wan Zhen, all the elders in the palace, including mother, father and your father, will leave You. Parents allow you to be sad, but only for a while."

Wan Zhen's eyes were already red: "I will be very sad, grandma, mother, father...everyone will stay with me all the time."

Zhuo Ji: "You know that's impossible."

Wan Zhen sniffed.

Zhuo Ji: "When a person dies, there will be reincarnation. When your mother and father die, they will wait for you in the next life of reincarnation. When you die, you will be reborn in the womb of your mother and father. child."

Zhuo Ji did not shy away from mentioning death in front of the children.

Wan Zhen blinked her eyes: "In the next life, mother and father will still be the emperor's servant?"

Zhuo Ji: "Well...it's hard to say. But in the next life, your father will only have a 'wife' with your mother and father."

"Ah..." Wan Zhen was a little distressed, "What about Jia's mother and father?"

Zhuo Ji: "Mother and father and Jia's mother and father have made an agreement. In the next life, they will find their lifelong partner, and the father will give it to the mother and father."

Wan Zhen: "What about the emperor and the others?"

Zhuo Ji: "They will also come to you in another capacity."

Wan Zhen thought for a while and said, "Okay then, since my mother and father are gone, I will only be sad for a while. In the next life, I will still be Wan Zhen who my father and mother love the most!"

Zhuo Ji shook his head: "In the next life, your name will not be Wan Zhen, but Xiao Yu'er."

Wan Zhen was amused, and he who already knew the stalk protested: "I am not a fish that slipped through the net, I am my father's treasure, and my father will not let me be called Xiao Yu'er."

Zhuo Ji rubbed his son's head and laughed.

A month later, the death of Pingningbo Hu Pengju no longer appeared in people's discussions in the capital.At the request of Lin Xieshan, the Lin family sent a man to follow King Qi to Nanxi Prefecture.Not long after Lin Xieshan petitioned, important ministers such as Shi Yu, Guan Minghui, Nian Qing, and Qin Su also petitioned one after another, willing to send their men to follow the three princes to Xizhou and Qiongzhou, and Emperor Yong'an agreed.

On the tenth day of March of the following year, after the Longevity Festival, long lines of convoys took people and goods to the train station in Xixiang City.They will take trains to Dengzhou Port and Quanzhou Port respectively, and from the two ports to Xizhou and Qiongzhou respectively.

Emperor Yong'an took the prince and princess and King Ning to the train station to send his sons off.King Ning has been crying since he left the palace, crying so much that his brothers were reluctant to leave.It was the princess who took King Ning aside so that King Qi and others could get on the car on time.

In Danyang Palace, Huang Guixie, Deguixie, Mingyu, Xiguifei, Zhaoyi, Chunlian, Zhuang, and Jing were all crying.Of the eleven princes, except for the crown prince, the other ten princes all left the capital and the country.The princes with the blood of emperors all want to create a world with their hands.

Zhuo Ji stood on the highest "Tongtian Pagoda" in the palace and looked in the direction of the train station.Children leave the wings of their parents and are about to truly soar in the sky.He hopes that when the young eagles who grow into eagles return one day, the civilization of Mata country will have blossomed all over the world.
