Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Cixi asked hesitantly, "Building roads?"

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, we should build roads. If we build a road that can lead directly to Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan, once there is any change in these places, and the king's teacher will come at night, we don't have to worry about them being disobedient. "

Cixi's tone was full of affirmation, and she said, "Okay, then you will be in charge of preparing for the road construction."

Lin Yuan smiled again: "We can't build normal roads, because the roads now have a lot of people and weapons to transport. If we want to transport people and weapons in large quantities, we have to build railways."

After hearing this, Cixi said after a long time: "Okay, we will discuss about the construction of the railway later. I am lonely and tired. Lin Aiqing, you can go back too."

Lin Yuan got up to leave, Guan'er walked a few steps from the inside to Lin Yuan's side, and said in a low voice, "How can you mention the railway? She must be annoyed usually, you should go back quickly."

Lin Yuan went outside and happened to meet Li Lianying, so Lin Yuan asked, "Tell me quickly, why doesn't the queen mother listen to the railway construction?"

Li Lianying pulled Lin Yuan aside, and said mysteriously: "The Queen Mother has messed with something unclean!"

Lin Yuan wanted to laugh when he heard this, but seeing Li Lianying's serious expression, he suppressed his laughter. He asked, "Did she bump into something unclean?"

Li Lianying said: "Usually everything is fine. Didn't she let Xiao De Zhang go to your barracks? As soon as Xiao De Zhang came back, Lafayette's eyes started to shed tears for no reason, for example, while he was watching the memorial? The tears in the eyes 'swipe' down."

"Recently, it has become more powerful. Just over half a month ago, Lafayette was looking at the memorial, and he told the servants that there were mosquitoes in the early spring, and they were always flying around in front of my eyes. The servants At that time, I thought that the place where flowers, plants and grass gather are the most likely to breed mosquitoes, so the servants led the servants to clean up the grass in the corners and corners of the Chuxiu Palace."

"I thought there were no mosquitoes this time. Who knew that Lafayette said he could see mosquitoes and punished a court lady in anger. Do you know who this court lady is? It's Master Lin, your Guan'er. I say Master Lin." , you always go out and don’t come home, let a big girl who is as beautiful as a flower stay alone in the empty room, can you bear it?”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Why is Guan'er being punished again?" But he was anxious to know the situation of Empress Dowager Cixi, so he coughed softly, and said to Li Lianying: "You continue to talk about the Empress Dowager."

Li Lianying quickly said: "In the next few days, the queen mother said that the eyes could not see clearly, and they became blurred from time to time. We invited the most famous doctor Li in the palace to show Lafayette, but he said he didn't know what it was. So the servants thought it was hitting something."

"It just so happened that I heard that there was a god named Mu in the capital, and that all the dignitaries in the capital had contacts with him, so I wanted to let him come into the palace to have a look, but when I saw it, I really bumped into something, that wood god I just asked who came back from outside recently, and this was all about Xiao Dezhang."

"Then the wood god said, Xiao Dezhang went to the northeast, and many railways are being built in the northeast, and the railway needs to be built to open mountains to release the monsters in the mountains, so he followed Xiao Dezhang to the palace, Lafayette has done it."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It's really interesting that such absurd reasons can be made up." Lin Yuan thought this way, came out of the palace, and came to the imperial hospital by the way, where the medical officer rushed out to greet Lin Yuan. Yuan greeted him with a smile, and asked, "Master Lin, are you here to see a doctor?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I'm looking for Imperial Physician Li, is Imperial Physician Li there?"

The medical officer asked: "Which imperial physician Li are you looking for? We have several imperial physicians surnamed Li here."

Lin Yuan said, "It's the one who treated Mr. Li Hongzhang."

The medical officer smiled and said: "You are looking for our envoy, I will call you." The medical officer ran all the way, and after a while, he brought an elderly medical officer. It was Lin Yuan who was at Li Hongzhang's home that day. Doctor Li I met.

Lin Yuan and Imperial Physician Li met the ceremony, and Lin Yuan waved the young medical officer to go down. After seeing that there was no one around, he asked Imperial Physician Li: "What disease is Empress Dowager Cixi suffering from?"

Doctor Li said: "I have practiced medicine for many years, and I have never seen this kind of disease."

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Thanks to you claiming to have practiced medicine for many years, can't you even see the disease of blindness?"

It turned out that Cixi was suffering from cataracts, a disease that often occurs in the elderly. Lin Yuan could tell from the symptoms Li Lianying described. Doctor Li was taken aback by Lin Yuan's question, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Of course I know blindness."

Lin Yuan emphasized his tone, and asked: "Since you know the disease of blindness, don't you know the 'golden needle'?"

"Golden Needle Removal of Obstacles" is a technique of ancient Chinese medicine. It was first recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty, and also described in many medical books of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This technique is to use golden needles to penetrate the eyes. Peel off the degenerated crystal, that is, the blindness, and the patient can see again.

Doctor Li trembled all over when he heard the word "Golden Needle Removal of Obstacles", then shook his head silently, and said: "I am a low-level official, I have never heard of Golden Needle Removal of Obstacles."

Lin Yuan saw Doctor Li's flustered look, and said sharply: "Nonsense, you must have heard of the golden needle to remove obstacles. If you don't admit it again, I will put you in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and interrogate with severe torture!"

Doctor Li was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again, and said, "Don't, don't put me in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I'll tell you everything. That's what happened. Although I've heard of this golden needle lifting technique, I don't know Know how to use it, and the person who gets sick is the mother of the Qing Dynasty, if I can’t cure my head, I will move, so I dare not say that I can cure it, so I have to say that I don’t know what the disease is, so I want to escape this catastrophe.”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do with you, and I won't arrest you, don't be afraid." Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Cataract surgery is not a complicated thing. With our current technology It can be done with strength, and if her illness is cured, the construction of the railway can be settled."

Lin Yuan changed his mind and thought again: "I don't know who this wood god is. Why did he link his illness with the railway? This wood god looks quite mysterious. I should investigate him carefully. How to investigate him?"

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of Guan'er. She was often by Cixi's side. She should have seen this wood fairy, and he could find some clues from her. At this time, he remembered what Li Lianying said about Guan'er being beaten, and couldn't help but Feeling sad for a while, she thought about buying a few things for Guan'er.

But after much deliberation, she didn't know what to buy for her, so she bought some small jewelry and returned home. In the evening, Guan'er came back, and Lin Yuan asked someone to prepare a table of delicious food. Shi Shi then asked: "I heard that there is a wood god who is very favored recently, I wonder if you have heard of this person?"

When Guan'er heard this person, her expression changed drastically.
