Historical records record that after his death, his father was devastated, citing the reason that he "loved his relatives lovingly and would never forget you until death". Making an exception, he was ordered to posthumously postulate himself as "Filial Piety to the Emperor."
In addition, he has been getting along with Li Zhi in the past few years, and he can clearly feel Li Zhi's fatherly love for him from the heart.
But what makes him depressed is that until now, his body has not shown any abnormalities. As for tuberculosis, I didn't feel it existed in me.
And this was also the main reason why he had been searching for Sun Simiao's traces. First, he wanted to see a doctor for his father, and second, he wanted to see a doctor for himself.
Sun Simiao looked at Li Hong with a smile, but Zong Chuke looked confused. Why was this young man looking for a doctor when he was not sick
"Okay, shall I check your pulse first?" Sun Simiao looked at Li Hong with a hint of unclear meaning in his eyes and said.
"Thank you so much to the old god." Li Hong's face was also more serious than ever before.
But this matter also made him annoyed and entangled. If he was diagnosed with the disease, it would be fine, and he could still cure it. At most, he would die when he was 23 years old, and then be reincarnated.
But what if you don’t get sick? If he is not sick, is it the Li Hong in the history books who is not sick, or is it the Li Hong who has lived through nine reincarnations and ten lives? Should I be on guard against my mother or not? Was he killed by his mother? Or will he eventually die of tuberculosis
Sun Simiao looked at Li Hong's somewhat uncertain face, and finally slowly put down his hand, which was as thin as a dead branch, and said lightly: "Young gentleman, if you haven't thought about it well, how about we wait until later? The old Taoist feels that he still has If you can live a little longer, if anything happens, you might as well come to Taiyi Mountain to find an expert."
"Young Master, why don't you thank Sun Shenxian quickly? In recent years, Sun Shenxian rarely accepts people easily, let alone take the pulse himself." Zong Chuke said anxiously.
Li Hong retracted his arm with a somewhat sad expression, and Xiaoxue hurriedly squatted aside and pulled down his sleeves.
"Thank you so much to the old god. If the boy feels sick in the future, I will come and trouble the old god." Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression still looked a little lonely.
"That's very good. Young Master, does he know how to find an old man?" Sun Simiao has lived for a hundred years. As the saying goes, people become better with age. There is no need to guess Li Hong's identity. He must be a member of the royal family.
Moreover, his question was also a tentative confirmation of Li Hong's identity.
The ninth generation of Li Hong had lived longer than him in total and were more monsters than him, so they naturally understood Sun Simiao's intentions.
He said calmly: "That's natural. I know how to find the old immortal. I'll take my leave first." Li Hong stood up and bowed deeply to Sun Simiao.
"Dare I ask who the young man's surname is? If you don't give your first name, how could you and Sun Shenxian want to be friends for many years?" Zong Chuke liked the young man in front of him very much. He was afraid that Li Hong would lose his etiquette, so he hurriedly Dahaha reminded.
Sun Simiao remained silent and looked at Li Hong's back with a smile. He also wanted to see how the young man would answer.
Li Hong stopped, turned his head and looked at Zong Chuke, smiled coldly, and then said to Sun Simiao: "My surname is Li Danzi Hong. The old god takes his leave."
Sun Simiao looked at Li Hong's retreating figure and nodded with a smile. It seemed that he had expected what he expected, but he didn't expect that it was the current Crown Prince.
"My last name is Li Minghong? Li Hong? Why is this name so familiar..." Zong Chuke also looked at the retreating figure.
"Why, you haven't remembered yet?" Sun Simiao looked at Zong Chuke and asked.
"What do you think of? What do you think of?" Zong Chuke turned to look at Sun Simiao and asked blankly.
"He is the current prince. It is only natural for the prince not to know that you, a little magistrate of Lantian County, but as a minister, if you don't know your master's name..."
"Ah...? Why didn't you remind me earlier, Sun Shenxian, you are really... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed... Zong Chuke was so disrespectful just now..." Zong Chuke stood up in a hurry, ignoring the dust he brought up, which made Sun Simiao's face full of anger. Then he chased in the direction Li Hong left.
Li Hong lost interest in continuing up the mountain. After meeting Sun Simiao by chance, he originally wanted to see a doctor. When Sun Simiao was about to take a pulse, he suddenly became confused and felt the urge to cry.
He was afraid that he would know that he was not sick, but he was not sure whether the Li Hong in the history book was not sick or whether he, Li Hong, was not sick.
However, these are not the reasons that prevent him from suddenly feeling lonely and wanting to cry. The only reason is: he misses his mother, the one who pulls his ears, scolds and blames him all day long, but always holds him in the palm of his hand and puts him in his arms. The mother in my heart.
His mind was full of pictures of him and Wu Mei living together in the past few years. He felt scared from the bottom of his heart. He found that he had cultivated the love between mother and child from the bottom of his heart, involuntarily, over time, without even realizing it. A towering tree! Even the kind of mother-child love that one could die for the mother and queen.
So he wanted to cry. He didn't want to know how he died. He didn't want to know whether he was sick or not. If that day comes, Li Hong is at a loss. Will he die or not? How to die!
Zong Chuke's cry came from behind, causing Li Hong to stop. Xiaoxue looked at the master worriedly. At some point, the prince burst into tears.
Li Hong took the silk handkerchief handed over by Xiaoxue, wiped away his tears, sobbed a few times, and then said calmly: "You are not allowed to mention what happened today to anyone. You can just forget it from now on."
"Yes, Master." Five people whispered at the same time.
"Your Highness, please stay. Just now, I was blind and disrespectful to Your Highness. Your Highness, please punish me." Zong Chuke's clothes seemed to be a little flustered along with his master.
"He who doesn't know is not guilty. Besides, I don't know who you are, right? It's even." Li Hong's eyes were slightly red and he said with a smile.
"Your Highness has betrayed your minister, how dare Zong Chuke think so, please punish His Highness." Zong Chuke's dark face was covered with fine sweat. He didn't know whether he was tired from running here or was frightened.
"Get up, I don't blame you." Li Hong looked at Zong Chuke who was dressed simply. Although his coarse linen clothes were a bit old, he was clean and tidy, and he was not annoying at all.
"This..." Zong Chuke looked up at Li Hong, wondering what the Crown Prince meant.
"Get up and answer your question. You're not staying in Lantian County. Why are you here just to collect herbs from the old god?" Li Hong turned around and continued walking down the mountain. Zong Chuke then hurriedly followed Cheetah and Jingzhe. .
"Back to His Highness the Crown Prince, I... I do have other things to do. I am just collecting herbs. I haven't seen Sun Shenxian for a long time. Today we will meet at Cuiwei Mountain to catch up on old times." Zong Chuke thought for a moment and said honestly, and this was also his point. The reason why he is still serving as a county magistrate in his fifties.
Zong Chuke was a representative figure of the poor scholars at that time. He entered the court as a Jinshi and was very popular for a while.
But later on, his personality was too upright in the court, and when it came to interacting with his superiors, he was a little less worldly. So after so many years, the nobles who joined him in the officialdom have been promoted a lot, but he is still just a small magistrate of Lantian County.
"Then tell me, why did you come to Taiyi City or Cuiwei Mountain?" Li Hong asked.
"Your Highness, my destination this time is indeed to come to Taiyi City. I heard that the Taiyi City Chamber of Commerce is about to start, so I came... just to have a look." Zong Chuke was still a little reserved. Facing such a high-ranking person, This was the first time in his life, and he would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
Li Hong smiled disdainfully and continued to ask: "Oh, are you here at the request of the merchants, or are you also taking the lead for the big shot in the court?"
"Boss?" Zong Chuke asked, then understood and hurriedly defended: "I'm wronged, I'm not here for a merchant's request, let alone for a boss. If the purpose of my visit... I'm here It’s actually hope…”
"Zong Chuke, if you always speak so hesitantly, I'm afraid you, the magistrate of Lantian County, are not very competent at your job. If you don't do political affairs with a salary, the Tang Dynasty has no intention of caring for such officials until they die. "Li Hong suddenly stopped and said.
"Your Highness forgives me, and I am aware of my guilt. I am here to sell jade from Lantian County. There are many foreign merchants here. Although the quality of Lantian jade is different from that of Khotan jade, Lantian jade is also popular among literati. I don't want the jade in Khotan to be particularly beautiful, so I thought of going to Taiyi City to sell Lantian jade, hoping to make some profits for the people of Lantian who pick jade. I also asked your highness to check that there is no jade for sale in my house. As a businessman, I am here entirely for the people of Lantian..."
Li Hong looked at Zong Chuke carefully again, from top to bottom. Although this guy went up the mountain to collect medicine, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, he did not wear jade on his leather belt, but only hung a cloth bag on his waist. Daggering back and forth.
"Lantian's beautiful jade is naturally no worse than Khotan's beautiful jade. After it is carved, it is naturally good. It is sold in the east and west cities of Chang'an. Have you never thought of building a shop for Lantian's beautiful jade in Taiyi City?" Li Hong wondered. asked.
I thought, since you care about the people so much, you should have opened one or several shops in Taiyi City for Lantian Jade as soon as possible, instead of rushing to Lantian County to sell it now.
"Your Highness, I just moved from Dongdu to Lantian County three months ago. My previous term did not build a shop, so since I came here, I have been delaying it again and again, and now we are here."
"It seems that I blame you, but I see that you don't even have a jade pendant on you. How can you sell it? Are you selling your medicine basket?" Li Hong continued to walk down slowly and teased.
"I have it with me, please take a look at it." Zong Chuke said, and under Li Hong's gaze, he took off the cloth bag from his waist. Inside was a piece of fine Lantian jade the size of a palm, engraved with flowers and birds.
Zong Chuke looked at Li Hong looking at him, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he said awkwardly: "I borrowed this jade from a jade merchant in Lantian. I was afraid that it would be damaged, so I sewed a cloth bag to put it in it to prevent it from being damaged. I bumped into it.”
There is one thing that Zong Chuke has not said in his heart, that is, it is too expensive, and I cannot afford to pay for it.
