Chapter 222: Cover up to the end
"."
Gu Dan was silent for a moment. "These two words are a bit big. It is not easy to choose just one word. If you can do it, you can also be famous for generations."
"Then Xia! Xia Dynasty!"
A dazzling light burst out from Wang Mang's eyes.
The country of etiquette is called Xia.
The new dynasty should be the Xia Dynasty, which was founded on the basis of Mo Qiu's righteous name.
Mo Qiu was willing to die for morality, and the new dynasty should also be familiar with etiquette and educate the people so that people from all directions will admire his virtue.
"First, let all four directions know about it. After all the people in Dayue know about it, then crown him as the emperor."
Gu Dan nodded slightly and had no objection.
"Still in the name of Mozi and the Mohist school?"
Wang Mang asked.
It is also a troublesome thing to establish a country. Although there is a ready-made mess, but you suddenly appear in the Xia Dynasty, who knows who you are! You say to establish it? Who do you think you are!
So declaration is still very important.
Even if you are not the "Son of Heaven, the one with the strongest army and powerful horses", you must let the world know what you have done, what kind of virtue you have, and why it is your turn to be in charge of the country.
Without these, it is not enough to appease people's hearts.
After all, the name Wang Mang has no meaning at all to the vast majority of people who have never heard of it, and they find it hard to believe it.
In this regard, Wang Mang is much stronger than Mo Qiu, let alone Huang Chao or even the deceased White Lotus Sect leader. If he wants to win the hearts of the people in the shortest possible time, he must have enough persuasiveness.
And the best persuasiveness, of course, is in the name of Mo Qiu.
The title of a contemporary saint is more than enough, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the popular choice. The only small problem is that Mo Qiu is gone.
It is ridiculous that the person who came to power in the name of Mo Qiu and Mohism was not Mo Qiu, and even the shadow of Mo Qiu could not be seen. The consequences are unpredictable.
"You are Brother Mo's eldest disciple."
This is indeed a rather thorny issue, but Gu has already made a plan in his worry, "It is natural for you to uphold the righteousness of the Mohist school. Brother Mo died for the people, and heaven and earth mourned together. After the four countries saw the glory of the saint, they felt ashamed and took the initiative to withdraw their troops, apologized, and are willing to admire the saint's teachings."
Wang Mang listened silently. Although the Mohist school still had a master, there was no doubt that Gu Dan's words were the decisive key.
Gu Dan said that the four countries surrendered and paid compensation because they admired Moqiu's virtue, so the four countries surrendered and paid compensation because they admired Moqiu's virtue.
Let’s see if the four countries dare not to recognize it.
"So, you want to tell the people that Mozi has fallen?"
Wang Mang asked carefully.
No one has touched upon this topic before. After all, many people have seen Gu Dan's almost crazy look before.
Moreover, Gu Dan firmly believed that Mozi could be saved, so everyone kept this tone.
But the common people don’t care about all the twists and turns. If they can’t see the person, then he’s gone, right?
As soon as these words came out, Gu Dan stopped talking abruptly.
Gu Dan clenched his palms slightly in his green robe and took a deep breath. "Wait until you ascend the throne before telling the people about this. Before that, you should still do things in the name of Brother Mo and Mo Qiu. You must do your best and don't let them down."
"I see!"
Wang Mang nodded seriously.
"Then do it quickly. This world has been in chaos for too long."
Gu Dan got up and left.
Wang Mang stared quietly at Gu Dan's back. He was standing tall and proud in a green robe, but he was alone and seemed a little lonely.
Walking out the door, although it is winter, the place is still busy.
Not only is there Dayue - oh no, the past is past, and this should be called the Xia Dynasty. Not only are there people from the Xia Dynasty who are busy, but there are also soldiers from the four countries who have not yet evacuated who are helping with construction and repairs.
Gu Dan stood there and watched silently for a while.
Soon after, he walked towards a small hut that had just been built.
The room is not big and even looks a bit simple.
In the room, a young girl was holding a book in her hands, reading it carefully with a frown on her face.
Xiaoying is reading a medical book.
“Master!!!”
Gu Dan had just walked in, and Xiaoying hadn't noticed it yet. The bored little kid couldn't wait to yell, rushed up, and hit Gu Dan hard, "When did you come back?"
Although he was a little kid, Cang was already over seven years old and had grown to the height of a human waist.
"just."
After rubbing Cang’s little head, Gu Dan looked at the girl who was awakened by Cang’s loud roar.
There was no sadness on Xiaoying's face at this time. Time would heal the pain and bury everything.
"Uncle Gu."
Xiaoying greeted Gu Dan obediently, her little face less lively than before and more steady and mature.
Growth does not happen overnight, but is achieved through continuous experience.
"Reading a medical book?"
Gu Dan asked.
"Yeah, I can't help much with the things here, so I'll find something to do."
Xiaoying nodded and said.
"Do you want to go back to the imperial capital? I'm going to go over there and take you and Cangdu back with me."
Gu Dan said.
"Imperial capital?"
Xiaoying's face was filled with confusion.
That place was once her home, filled with countless beautiful memories.
But now, all my loved ones are gone, what can I do if I go back?
Perhaps he saw what the girl was thinking, Gu Dan added: "Uncle Xu is still in the imperial capital. He hasn't seen you for such a long time, he must miss you a lot."
"Grandpa Xu! I want to go find Grandpa Xu!"
Before Xiaoying could say anything, Cang immediately shouted.
Compared to his master who always asked him to read, of course he liked Grandpa Xu who often brought him delicious food more.
"OK."
Xiaoying thought about it and nodded gently, "I can also learn some medical skills from Grandpa Xu!"
Otsuki was the former imperial capital.
After being occupied by the White Lotus Sect Leader for more than a month, many of the former wealthy families were wiped out, and countless wealth was gathered together, but before it could be transported away, new changes occurred.
Before the order could completely collapse, Gong Shangguo returned here with the group of people that Chen Guang and Wu Sheng had gathered before.
He slaughtered the remaining White Lotus remnants, stabilized the order here, left a group of people to look after it temporarily, and then began to spread the glory of Mohism to further places.
The new order has not yet begun to be built, and everything is still based on Dayue's old system. After all, Dayue has been in charge of this land for more than two hundred years, and the imprint left on the former citizens has not yet faded. Habit is also a kind of force.
What made Gu Dan feel particularly fortunate was that among the countless bad news during this period, there were still some good news.
That is, the Imperial Medical Service is still there and has not suffered any damage.
Perhaps we should be grateful to the alchemists for the dark cloud that once hung over the Imperial Medical Service, which made the Imperial Medical Service far less wealthy and less prominent than other places in the court.
Although the members of the White Lotus Sect came from humble origins, they understood the importance of doctors.
Although he hadn't done much, he still hadn't gone to the Imperial Hospital.
But at that time people's hearts were undecided, and the news was even more complicated and even horrifying. Few people believed that the Four-Nation Alliance would surrender so quickly. They thought it was the imagination of some whimsical guy before he went crazy.
When Gu Dan arrived at the familiar gate of Imperial Hospital, the door was closed.
He walked up and knocked on the door gently.
No one answered.
Gu Dan had already heard the person's breathing, so he kept patting.
After a long while, the man seemed to understand Gu Dan's determination to achieve his goal, and said cautiously, "Who is it? The Imperial Hospital is not seeing patients now, and no one is seeing anyone."
"You don't see your own people either?"
Gu Dan asked.
"Who are you?"
The man asked.
"Gu Dan."
With a creak, the door of the Imperial Hospital was opened.
An old imperial physician looked at Gu Dan carefully and asked, "Is it really you?"
"Why are you guarding the gate here? Don't you have any guards?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Dan took a quick look. He had seen this imperial physician before, but they didn't have much in common, and he was just familiar to him.
"Oh, after the White Lotus occupied the palace, many people took advantage of the chaos and fled."
The old doctor opened the door and said, "Come in quickly. The world outside is not going well. There are all kinds of news flying around, and it's hard to tell whether it's true or false. Some people even said that the Four-Nation Alliance has surrendered. I don't even dare to dream about it. There are many crazy people!"
Gu Dan smiled and walked in with Xiaoying and Cang, "Is Uncle Xu still in the Imperial Hospital?"
"Yes, he's still in the old room, but he has a cold and needs to rest."
The old doctor said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Dan hurriedly walked towards Xu Zhian's room.
When he arrived at the door, Gu Dan pushed it open.
The furnishings in the room were the same as before, except that there was a stove burning not far from the bed. The charcoal fire was burning continuously, making the room seem warm.
On the bed, an elderly man was resting under a quilt.
After hearing the noise, he turned his head and looked over, then froze immediately.
"Uncle Xu!"
Gu Dan rushed over quickly.
Andy Hui on the bed was not in good health. He was pale and sweaty. His gray hair was soaked and limp, and his old face was full of haggardness.
Although the room was clearly warm, his body was shivering involuntarily.
Andy Hui is old.
Even the imperial physician dare not say that he is free from illness or disaster.
Especially in winter, the older people are, the more susceptible they are to illness. Time has taken away the vitality and even health of the body, leaving only the frail, suffering body still struggling and suffering.
"Dang?"
Looking at the newcomer, Andy Hui's eyes were filled with joy, "You're back?"
"Please don't talk yet."
Gu Dan held Andy Hui's palm tightly, and the green light almost gathered into a river, continuously flowing into Andy Hui's body.
Trying hard to make up for the already somewhat deficient body.
In the blink of an eye, Andy Hui's originally pale face turned rosy, his body stopped trembling, and a wave of vitality poured into his body, healing his injuries.
"Your medical skills."
Andy Hui was surprised and said, "You don't even need medicine!"
"It all depends on your good teaching, Uncle Xu."
Gu Dan held his hand and sat down beside the bed.
"Grandpa Xu!"
"Grandpa Xu!"
After two calls, Cang and Xiaoying also came over and surrounded the bed.
"Cang, Xiaoying? Are you both back?"
Andy Hui's eyes wandered between the two of them for a moment, and when they landed on Xiaoying, he hesitated for a moment, as if he just recognized who the person was.
"Yes, I have to trouble you to take care of this little guy Cang. How can he stay with me all the time? You can't continue to lie in bed."
Gu Dan nodded and said.
"You kid! I knew you wouldn't come here if nothing happened!"
Andy Hui glared at Gu Dan and felt much more cheerful. Most importantly, he no longer felt any discomfort. He sat up from the bed and his stomach made a growling sound.
He said without any politeness: "Xiaoying, go to the kitchen and make something delicious. Cang should also go and take a look. I'm hungry."
"good."
Xiaoying took Cang's reluctant hand and walked out.
The door closed, leaving Gu Dan and Andy Hui alone in the room.
For a moment, they all fell silent.
It’s not that I have nothing to say, but that there are too many things to say and I don’t know where to start.
"The Great Yue royal family was wiped out by the White Lotus Sect leader. Did you know that?"
In the end, it was Andy Hui who spoke first.
"I know."
Gu Dan nodded.
"Xiao Yita"
Xu Zhian frowned and sighed, "That's fine. Many concubines wanted to survive, but were insulted by the White Lotus Cult. If they can't escape, it might be a good thing to end it all."
Gu Dan remained silent. Andy Hui didn't even know that the White Lotus Sect Leader was brought to the palace by Lin Xiaoyi.
Without continuing to talk about this topic, Gu Dan changed the subject and said, "Since Uncle Xu is sick, why is he lying here alone? Where are your children?"
Andy Hui has already started a family and his children are several years older than Gu Dan, but he refused to study medicine and went into business. As a result, he is rarely seen all year round and Andy Hui doesn't like his own children either.
"When the White Lotus leader occupied the imperial capital, I let him go first. He wanted to take me with him, but where else could I go with my old bones? It's winter now, and I've lived in the Imperial Hospital for most of my life. I won't leave in my last days."
When Andy Hui talked about these things, he seemed to be very open-minded.
"Don't say that. You are the imperial physician after all. How can you not live a long life? If you tell others, the Imperial Hospital will be looked down upon. The Taoist priests have all fled, but no one is suppressing the Imperial Hospital anymore. I am planning to let you lead the Imperial Hospital to revive medicine!"
Holding Andy Hui's hand, Gu Dan said sincerely.
"Ha, it's rare for a person to live to seventy. I'm over seventy, what can I not see clearly? Doctors may not live long, but they have seen many dying people."
Andy Hui joked, "You don't have to comfort me. Life is finite, that's as it should be. On the contrary, you have been in this small courtyard for more than 20 years, and you have only been out for a few months. How come you are back so soon? Did someone beat you back?"
"No way, I was the one who beat the bad guys away. You can enjoy your peace and quiet for the next few days. The chaos is over."
Gu Dan said with certainty.
"What about you? Are you still planning to stay in your own little yard?"
Andy Hui asked.
"Of course not. I have a lot of things to do as well."
Gu Dan said affirmatively.
After being idle for a long time, I can no longer sit quietly in the small courtyard and recite Taoist scriptures like before.
As for all matters concerning the immortals, we will have to wait until Qingpingzi returns from Dayong before we can discuss them in detail.
How much time do the immortals who are about to return have left in the mortal world? This is still an unknown number, just like a sword hanging over Gu Dan's heart.
He has not yet practiced the White Lotus Visualization Diagram he got from the White Lotus Sect Leader; he still has a long way to go in curing diseases and saving lives; he has no real clue about breaking through the innate nature. There is still a lot to do.
