The great man will live forever

Chapter 289 Liu Han’s choice

"Mr. Li, please tell me the truth. Can His Majesty's illness be cured?"

Yin Lihua looked at the white-haired Dr. Li, who had the highest medical skills in the Taiyuan Hospital. Other doctors had also seen him, but they were basically at a loss. Yin Lihua was counting on him.

"This..." Dr. Li hesitated, not daring to say anything. He estimated that Liu Xiu might not be able to survive for ten days, so he would still need to rely on thousand-year-old ginseng to survive.

"Tell me, what's going on, Your Majesty? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you and destroy the nine tribes."

Yin Xing on the side was angry and anxious.

"Xing'er, you can't do this!" Yin Lihua scolded quickly, "Mr. Li, Xing'er is just worried about Your Majesty. I hope you don't blame or worry. The biggest misunderstanding the world has about doctors is that they think they can bring the dead back to life, but how is that possible? ? No matter what the situation is, it can only be like this..."

As Yin Lihua spoke, tears flowed down uncontrollably. She probably guessed something.

Dr. Li knelt down and said with tears, "Queen, I understand, but I am not good at studying and can't save Your Majesty. I will be punished by death!"

Then kowtowing non-stop, Yin Lihua quickly helped him up, "Is there really nothing you can do?"

"Publish a list, promise a lot of money, and summon the people's strangers. Maybe there is a way!"

"Sigh. Now I can only treat a dead horse as a living doctor. How much time does your Majesty have?"

"With precious medicinal materials, it will only last for half a month at most."

However, before Yin Lihua's list was posted, the chamberlain came to report it.

"Queen, a young Taoist priest came to the gate of the imperial city and said that he has a way to cure your majesty's illness." Yin Lihua was somewhat different. Liu Xiu's illness had only been ill for a day or two, and it came very quickly. It seemed that the court ministers didn't even know about it. , this Taoist priest knew it, how did he know it?

There is no time to think too much. Now, whenever there is a way, Yin Lihua will hold on tightly.

It was a young Taoist priest. His face was delicate and resolute, like a clear spring in the mountains, clear and deep. Between his brows, he revealed a detached demeanor, as if nothing in the world could shake his inner peace.

The eyes are as deep as the stars, full of insight and understanding of the world, the bridge of the nose is high, the corners of the lips are slightly raised, and the posture is as straight as a pine and as elegant as a crane.

He slowly walked into the hall, his steps calm and firm, as if he was measuring the laws of heaven and earth with every step. There seemed to be no wind in his robe, and he held a whisk in his hand. The whisk seemed to be a bridge between him and the world, swaying freely.

The face is young, but the eyes reveal a sense of vicissitudes, unparalleled vicissitudes of life.

"Does the Taoist priest have a name?"

"I'm here Guiguzi!"

……

Someone knew what Guiguzi and Yin Lihua talked about, and Liu Xiu woke up from bed the next day.

Then Liu Xiu immediately ordered the prince Liu Qiang to rebel. All this was a conspiracy by Guo Kuang and the prince, and they conspired to poison the emperor.

He also issued an order to capture Liu Qiang.

At almost the same time, Guo Kuang killed Liu De directly outside Zhending City.

"Cousin...brother, why...what?"

Liu De's mouth was full of blood. He didn't expect that Guo Kuang said he had something to discuss with him, but he gave him a sword directly, which made him feel heartbroken.

"It's all life!"

Then he took Liu De's information and issued a message to support the prince. He also said a lot of bad things about Liu Xiu and firmly expressed his support for the prince to enter Luoyang and inherit the throne.

Good guy, this time it became a matter between Liu Xiu and Liu Han. This son rebelled against me, and Liu Han became a weakling in this big man who ruled the world with filial piety.

"General, this is the head of the thief Zhu Yao."

"Okay, I finally killed this bandit."

In Weijun and Yecheng, Wang Ba looked at the heads of the bandits and was very happy.

Immediately, not long after, he received Liu Xiu's imperial edict to encircle and suppress the prince Liu Qiang.

"Are you sure this is His Majesty's imperial edict to encircle and suppress the prince?" He was shocked and repeated confirmation, but this was the result.

Almost a few days before and after, Jiandan in Qinghe County also received an order to encircle and suppress the prince, as did Ma Cheng in Julu County.

They were all in disbelief and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the edict, but it was indeed true.

On the other side, Liu Han, who was already in Changshan County, got the news, and his expression suddenly changed. He rode his horse overnight and went straight to Zhending City, catching up with Ayimei who came to support.

Ayimei had not received the news at this time because he was far away. She was still surprised by Liu Han's arrival, "What's wrong? But what happened?"

When he told Ayimei what had happened, she turned pale and asked, "How is this possible?"

"Everything is possible. It's probably their work. Otherwise, how could this cheap uncle be so good that he would rebel? It seems he just wanted to lure me out of the palace*!"

"Now what?"

Liu Han then handed her the remaining elixir of longevity, "Take it, I suspect that the person in the palace is no longer Liu Xiu, so I have to go back and take a look."

Ayimei didn't answer, just shook her head, "I don't want it. Without you, what's the point of immortality? You must have fallen into their trap this time. You are his son, so your status is naturally lower than his. I am a minister, if you want me to die, I have no choice but to die."

"What should I do? Now I am commanding the army to fight them. I have never been afraid of anyone in the war. There are too many major disadvantages in terms of food, military morale, and other aspects. I am afraid that most of the soldiers will attack them before the battle begins.

Even so, I am confident that I can slowly defeat them and conquer the world again with just a little bit of territory. But the world that was finally calmed down will be in chaos because of my annual battles? "

The auntie looked at him with red eyes. She was rarely angry, "You are the benevolence of women, like the Holy Mother of future generations in Zhao Lan's mouth. What does it matter to you how many others die? If we don't fight, they won't die in the end." Really? Everyone will die!"

Liu Xiu was stunned, and then murmured to himself, "Yes, everyone will die, but I don't necessarily die, and they don't necessarily, so this time I want to meet them at a small cost, or I will die in the worst case. , and start again, so you can live on, if anything happens to me unfortunately, we will meet again in the next life."

Liu Han said, stepped forward to hug her, and then kissed her gently.

"I originally wanted to marry you in this life, and marry you in a glorious way, but it seems that I can't do it anymore. Let's go to the next life, let's go to the next life."

Ayimei shed tears, "Okay, as promised, in the next life, you promised me not to go back on my word."

"Of course, hook!"

In Ayimei's puzzled eyes, Liu Han stretched out his little finger and hooked her little finger, "Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years."

"This is an agreement for future generations!"

Seemingly confused by her, he smiled and explained.

"It's good to hang yourself with a hook. It won't change for a hundred years, not a hundred years, but forever, forever, forever!"

She betrayed him, but he still forgave her, because love is tolerance, and the betrayal was also because of love. Even if she had selfish motives, who doesn't have selfish motives?

"drive!"

He rode away, aiming for Luoyang. He suddenly thought of a scene in a later novel.

"Great Sage, what do you want to do there?"

"Break through the Nantian Gate and smash the Lingxiao Palace"

"If you never come back..."

"Just leave and never come back!"

He is not that tragic, and he is not the Monkey King, but he is who he is.

……

A certain year, a certain month, a certain day, in a secret room in Luoyang, two people played chess against each other. "I lost!"

Liu Han put down the chess piece in his hand, "What did Mr. Guigu do before he traveled through time?" He said and looked at the young Taoist priest opposite. He was the famous Guiguzi.

Guiguzi in history is a very mysterious figure. He is known as a strange man through the ages. He founded the Guigu sect. He is good at cultivating the body and mind, is good at psychological speculation, has a deep understanding of the power of hardness and softness, is proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal manipulation, and has a unique ability to reach the sky. wisdom.

Guiguzi possesses unparalleled knowledge, outstanding wisdom, and is proficient in hundreds of schools of knowledge. He is the originator of political strategists, a famous thinker, strategist, military strategist, Yin and Yang, Legalist, famous scholar, and a great educator.

Mr. Gui Gu is an encyclopedic figure. His wisdom has educated Su Qin, Zhang Yi and many other influential figures.

Rumor has it that in addition to Su Qin and Zhang Yi, more than 500 elites including Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Shang Yang, Lu Buwei, Bai Qi, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Gan Mao, Le Yi, Sui, and Zhao She were his apprentices.

Wang Jia's "Collected Relics", Liu Xie's "Wen Xin Diao Long", Du Guangting's "Records of Strange Things", "Collected Relics of Immortals", Hong Mai's "Rong Zhai Essays", Hong Shi's "Panzhou Collected Works", Li There are records of Guiguzi's life in Chou's "Taiping Guangji" and some classics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The aforementioned classics are mostly in the form of notes, random remarks, comments, etc. These records are mostly based on "Historical Records".

For example, it is said in "Jinlouzi" that Qin Shihuang met Guiguzi and sent Xu Fu to "a sea of ​​people". Then Guiguzi lived at least three hundred years old. The traces of a saint are different from those of ordinary people. Don't judge Mr. Guigu through ordinary people's eyes.

There is also a view that Guiguzi is an incarnation of power that transcends time and space, and is a Taoist man.

The earliest one to hold this view was "Jinlouzi", and later "Luyiji", "Biographies of Historical Celebrities", "Sancai Tuhui", "Taiping Guangji", "Detailed Notes on the Taoist Catalog", etc. This view.

In his previous life, Liu Han admired this person very much, but the moment he time traveled, he suspected that this was a time-traveling senior. He never expected that he could play chess face to face.

"Oh, it's such a long-lasting memory, so long ago that I almost forgot about it."

Guiguzi thought for a moment and said extremely seriously: "High school senior!"

Then he added, "I just finished the college entrance examination."

Liu Han was stunned for a moment, "I thought you were a professor."

"The professors are not as good as me. Later generations often say that the college entrance examination is the pinnacle of knowledge in life. After twelve years of cramming, you can understand the principles of the movement of celestial bodies and organic and inorganic reactions.

There is an elliptical hyperbola in front and a hybrid biosphere in the back. He understands foreign languages ​​externally and studies classical Chinese internally. He can calculate numerical sequences and speak Marxism-Leninism. He not only knows China for five thousand years, but also understands three or five overseas countries.

Although it is very incorrect, I did read a lot of books at that time. "

"Then you must be a genius."

"It's not bad. I have a photographic memory since I was a child. I should have scored 743 in the college entrance examination."

"Didn't you just finish the exam? Are the scores out?"

"I estimate that points will be deducted for basically Chinese and English compositions, and there will be a deviation of one or two points at most."

"Seven points will be deducted if the two are added up?"

Guiguzi looked indifferent, "That's about right. Six points will be deducted for Chinese and one point for English."

Liu Han sighed with emotion, "You are not a genius, you are a child prodigy, a genius!"

"These are secondary. Many times the key is persistence. I remember more than 400 years ago, there was a man who knelt on the path in the early days of my valley for a day and a night, without eating or drinking, just so that I could accept him as my disciple."

"You accepted it?"

"Stop it. Anyway, I won't kneel in front of anyone for a whole day and a night. That kind of persistence makes me moved. By the way, that person's name is Su Qin."

Su Qin is afraid that no one in future generations will not know that this is an extremely powerful person.

He worked as a farmer in his early years, and became a disciple of Gui Guzi when he was young. After studying hard for three years, I bid farewell to my husband and returned home to Luoyang. Later, he traveled to various countries in order to seek an official position.

A few years later, he returned home without hope. His wife couldn't get off the plane, his sister-in-law couldn't provide for him, and his parents didn't have children.

Then he studied hard, devoted himself to the art of vertical and horizontal, and advocated the theory of combined vertical and horizontal. He once lobbied the six countries to unite to control Qin, so that Qin could not expand eastward, and he admired the seals of the six countries...

"Then Zhang Yi also knelt all day and night?"

This is also a man of Niu. Similarly, he studied under Gui Guzi in his early years and later traveled to Chu and Zhao. He was not reused and went to Qin in anger. He was reused by King Qin Huiwen with the strategy of Lian Heng and served as the prime minister of Qin twice.

During Zhang Yi's two terms as Prime Minister of Qin, he divided and combined forces, encroached on the territories of other countries, and conquered Bashu, which almost doubled the territory of Qin State, laying a solid foundation for Qin State to finally unify the world.

"no!"

"Then you accept him?"

"He said his name was Zhang Yi, so I accepted it."

"What about Su Qin?"

"He knelt down as soon as he came. I agreed to take him in, and he said his name was Su Qin."

"..."

Liu Han wanted to laugh. This Su Qin was a bit honest. He was a typical farmer. How could he not be honest later? And become a spy!

Zhang Yi is different. This person is never honest and often speaks ill of people behind their backs. Relying on the favor of King Qin Huiwen, as long as someone threatens his position, he will find ways to exclude and eliminate anyone who threatens his power and position. I have to say that he is not a gentleman.

He excluded three great talents who served the Qin State. Gongsun Yan, Chen Zhen, and Chu Liji were all rare talents.

Of course, they are not wrong. They are sophisticated egoists. Politicians' plans are mostly based on subjective politics, that is, all they can think about is taking advantage of the chaotic international situation to pursue their own selfish interests.

From the Qin Dynasty to the Chu Dynasty, capriciousness seemed to be the norm for political figures. This is also the reason why political figures have always received low evaluations.

However, if they don't do this, they will probably spend their whole lives farming and being unhappy. How will they leave their name in history?

"Oh, I forgot to mention that they are not from the same era. Although they are brothers, they are one generation apart. They are the most outstanding representatives of the Zongheng family. Zhang Yi is the horizontal and Su Qin is the vertical.

One is to make the princes of Shandong unite to fight against Qin, and the other is to make the princes of Shandong unite to fight against Qin. Unfortunately, many history books also describe these two as undisputed rivals, and also describe them as being from the same era. "

"Oh, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, because Zhang Yi made Qin extremely powerful and the six countries were afraid, that's why Su Qin had the opportunity to unite the six countries to form an alliance. Before Qin was not strong, he had no chance to promote the six countries to form an alliance. Su Qin was almost later than Zhang Yi An era.

In later generations, the "Warring States Strategists' Letters to the Family" unearthed in Mawangdui also showed that Su Qin was nearly an era later than Zhang Yi.

Of course, most of the time, people only believe what they believe, and they generally don’t believe what they know. Also, history is written by people, and it is history when it is passed down. "

"So, even if I have changed a lot, you can still write whatever you want? Isn't there archeology? Can you bribe all the historians? They are very tough."

"If you can't buy it, just change it back after his death. Even for Sima Qian's "Historical Records", we actually changed it a lot, and some of the mountains and rivers have been changed. People after a thousand years will only get what we want them to see.

As for those archaeologists, I can put whatever I want in the tomb. After a thousand years, it will naturally become a historical relic. Whatever is recorded on it will be whatever they think! "

Liu Han was silent for a moment and then asked, "Is immortality so good? Don't you feel lonely or bored? Don't you want to do something meaningful? Watch people starve to death, dynasties change, and wars continue? You are obviously capable of advancing the process of history. "

"It's not immortality, I've had enough of it, it's the Tao!"

"What way?"

"Avenue!"

Looking at the enigmatic Guiguzi, Liu Han was confused and wanted to ask something else. He began to vomit blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes became blurred, and he gradually lost consciousness.

On this day, he died again.

"Maybe one day, you will understand!" Guiguzi looked at his body and walked out slowly.
