Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 321

After bidding farewell to the elders who came to visit, Luo Yan returned to Lu Deming's room.

Seeing Lu Deming smiling kindly at him, Luo Yan couldn't stop bleeding in his heart.Walking over to sit next to Lu Deming, Luo Yan grabbed Lu Deming's hand and said very seriously: "Teacher, trust your disciple one more time. Don't be discouraged."

Seeing the seriousness on Luo Yan's face, Lu Deming nodded slowly, and said weakly: "Master, I have always believed in you. Whatever you want to do, just do it." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes tiredly.

Luo Yan gently tucked the quilt up for Lu Deming, walked to the table, and wrote down the prescription that he had thought about for a long time.Then he opened the door softly, and let the servant waiting at the door go in to look at Lu Deming, while he walked out of Lu's mansion and went to the market to buy medicine himself.

Lu Deming's body was already extremely weak, and any mistake could cause Luo Yan's entire plan to fail.Especially now that herbal medicine has not been developed to the level of later generations, many medicinal materials are confused regardless of their medicinal properties and types, so this matter needs to be handled by him personally.

Ginseng, Polygonatum, Shouwu, Ejiao.Whenever he encountered nourishing medicines with a long history and high quality, Luo Yan would buy all the medicinal materials that could match Luo Yan's prescription.In two months, I'm afraid there won't be enough medicinal materials.

After shopping in the market for a long time, I finally got together a pair of medicinal materials.But this already made Luo Yan very satisfied. One medicine can be taken for two days. With this buffer time, it is enough for him to find more.

Back in Lu's mansion, Luo Yan immediately sent people to decoct the medicine.But he went to the study and began to write letters to Lu Dunxin.Lu Dunxin was far away in Tanzhou, and it took at least half a month for this letter to come and go. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen, and it will be bad.

Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he handed over the letter to his servants.

What I can do, what I should do, I have done now.If you want to do something else, then you can only beg Mantian Gods and Buddhas, so that Lu Deming can spend the last time in peace.

When mentioning life and death, Luo Yan burst into tears again.

A month is gone in a blink of an eye.Lu Dunxin has not yet arrived, and it is almost time for Li Shimin to dispatch him to Yongzhou.

Just when everyone thought that Luo Yan was about to fall into a dilemma, a memorial requesting to serve as an official was placed on Li Shimin's desk.

"Heaven's grace is vast and majestic. The Sacred Heart is willing and earnest. The minister Luo Yanbai said: The last time I repeatedly violated the laws of the country, so that I failed the emperor's grace and failed the emperor's will. Although ten thousand deaths are inevitable, the thunder is furious, and the soft heart turns into rain." He does not condemn his crimes harshly, but instead forgives his responsibilities. Although he is Zuoqian, he is also in Xiaoxiang Godland; his name is reprimanded, but he lives in Yunmeng Fairyland. This is also the grace of His Majesty.

However, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.Before leaving, my mentor was in Ecuador.The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety has been the same since ancient times.If you want to follow the king's order and move forward, you will stop because you are worried about your teacher's illness.As a result, I was in a trance, and I didn't know where to go.

Sitting and thinking about it, my heart is panicked.The righteousness of filial piety is the foundation of saints.Or say: He who governs the world with filial piety, why?For those who are not filial, it is difficult to know kindness.It is because of the deep kindness of the king, and there are times when it is repeated.

A body of flesh and blood is cast by parents; twenty years of livelihood is funded by righteous brothers.Idealism and nature are established by mentors.These three are the foundation of Gaiyu Luoyan.Parents die young, so they are not allowed to serve in front of the bed; brother-in-law is rich, and he can still ride a horse.But my teacher is old. Although he has a son, he still serves the king's order and is not by his side.A teacher for a day, a father for life.Although Luo Yan has little talent and learning, he also knows that the kindness of my teacher is more important than mountains.He is sick and not on the side, pretending to be loyal to the emperor, but in fact he is in love with power.

Therefore, the minister invited himself to be an official, and served his teacher at home until his old age.Selfishness, still begging for mercy.

Chen Luoyan pays homage again. "

To become an official, it was originally an old official who felt that he was not strong enough, so he resigned from office.Or some officials made mistakes, but could not be punished, and they would resign under the emperor's hint.

It seems that these two kinds of officials are all senior officials in their 50s and [-]s.

But now Luo Yan, a man in his twenties, is making such a fuss about retiring from office.How embarrassing is this for Li Shimin?

He also heard about Lu Deming's illness from the imperial doctor sent there. His body was exhausted, and he didn't know what method Luo Yan used, so he took off for a month.But even so, I think it's just a matter of these days.If Luo Yan makes trouble like this again, it will really give Li Shimin a headache.

However, the emperor had the right to veto such matters. Although Li Shimin had a headache, he still made a decision not to allow Luo Yan to become an official, but correspondingly, Luo Yan could be left in Chang'an to serve Lu Deming until his death.

If this is already the biggest concession Li Shimin has made, then what happened next made Li Shimin's face a little ugly.

Luo Yan's official memorial was rejected the next day, but the same memorial was sent up by Luo Yan on the third day.Of course, this time it was transcribed again, and a few words were added: "The teacher's kindness is like a mountain, just like a parent. If you don't keep your filial piety, why should you be a son?"

Li Shimin almost fell to the ground with anger.

This time, Li Shimin didn't care about Luo Yan's reasons. In a word, he dealt with it as last time.

However, Luo Yan has no time to pay attention to what Li Shimin said this time.

Because in the past few days, Lu Dunxin finally came back.

He walked into the gate of the Lu Mansion after being busy all the way, and saw Luo Yan standing in the courtyard at a glance.

Walking forward, before Luo Yan saw it, Lu Dunxin began to cry softly before saluting.

Already so sad that there were no tears left, only the calm Luo Yan, just quietly looked at Lu Dunxin, a middle-aged man in his 30s, crying like a child.I wanted to say something comforting, but found myself choking up 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 while, until a servant asked in a low voice if they had something to eat, only then did they realize that the sun had already climbed over their heads and was approaching the western mountain.

Slowly, the wind is cool, but it is far less than the desolation in my heart.Luo Yan took Lu Dunxin's hand and brought him to the residence. After washing up, he smiled wryly at Lu Dunxin and said, "If the elder brother doesn't come, I'm afraid the younger brother will really be unable to hold on."

This is not Luo Yan claiming credit in front of Lu Dunxin.His teacher didn't need so many lies at all, not to mention, Luo Yan couldn't plot anything against Lu Dunxin.

"This time it's really thanks to the younger brother. If it wasn't for you this time, I'm afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"What are you talking about, brother? Luo Yan has been idle at home during this time. If you can't serve the teacher like this, how can you be a son of man?" Luo Yan nodded, but he didn't continue to entangle in this matter. Lu Dunxin said: "I want my brother to know. Luo Yan is not good enough. Although he tried his best this time, it is just to let the teacher live a little longer."

This matter was not stated in the letter to Lu Dunxin, but now that it was brought up, it surprised Lu Dunxin: "What?" He just asked, and then slumped on the chair.

"During this time, Luo Yan can only take care of the teacher, but he hasn't prepared for the teacher's affairs at all. So, these things need to be troubled by brother." Although it is extremely heartbreaking, but what should be done, Luo Yan still can't just do it Hiding it like this.

Lu Dunxin nodded, said "Understood" weakly, and then remained silent.

The two rested for a while, 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 Lu Dunxin coming in, the old master's tears flowed down the deep wrinkles for a moment.

"My son is here." A simple sentence made Lu Dunxin lose his mind instantly and burst into tears.From the door to the window, kneeling and crawling to Lu Deming's bed, Lu Dun couldn't help but kowtow, but shouted: "My child is not filial, my child is not filial." Two pools of water instantly appeared on the ground in front of the bed. mark.

Lu Deming smiled weakly: "Silly boy, it's good to be here, it's good to be here. These days, I have made progress, and I haven't suffered much for my father. Now that you are here, I am happy for my father. Okay, don't Crying. The matter of life and death is the destiny. I lived to be more than 70 years old, and I have lived enough. Now I have no regrets, you should be happy for your father."

Such comforting made Lu Dunxin stop crying. Lu Deming took a breath for a while, and then said to the two: "Now you two are by my side. While I still have breath, I have to explain some things to you."

Lu Dunxin wiped away the tears on his face, and Luo Yan also knelt down beside the bed. Master Lu said, "Son, you are honest and simple, and you wouldn't worry about it as a father. But the officialdom is dangerous, sometimes it's easier for honest people If you suffer a loss, you will be an official in the future, and you need to be more careful. Don't let people frame you for nothing."

Lu Dunxin nodded.

After talking about Lu Dunxin, Lu Deming looked at Luo Yan again: "Jinzhi, I am more worried about you as a teacher. You have already become a prince at a young age. Although you have outstanding military achievements, your foundation is still shallow. Okay, but once it comes to a critical moment, you can't believe it all."

Luo Yan nodded.The fact that he was grounded is the best proof.There were not many ministers in the court who spoke for him, but a lot of them fell into trouble, which made him suffer such a crushing defeat.

"So, in the future, you still need to hone your temperament, guard against arrogance and impetuosity. I have taught many students throughout my life, but there are no one like you. As a teacher, I only hope that I can pass on what you have learned. Don't stop."

Hearing Luo Yan's words, sadness came from it. These years, he spent more time in the officialdom, although he was able to calm down and study, but he didn't have the slightest intention of passing on what he had learned.This point, I am really ashamed of Lu Deming.

Kowtowing to Lu Deming, Luo Yan said: "Teacher, please rest assured, Luo Yan will definitely not let the teacher down."

Seeing Luo Yan agreeing, Lu Deming laughed: "Okay, okay, okay. Okay, I'm a little tired after talking so much, you two go to rest, don't come and watch anymore." After finishing speaking, Then he closed his eyes.

Luo Yan and Lu Deming stood up gently, looked at Lu Deming's breathing evenly, and then left.
