You and other must know invincible mights like prison, divine intervention like blade! ” 尔等须知神威如狱,天意如刀!” The reached an agreement provision naturally cannot change again, pivot shaft received both money book, the feudal lords 11 went forward to cover with oneself seal above. 早就商量好的条款自然不会再改变,洛枢将两份金册都收到手中,诸侯们一一上前用自己的印盖在上面。 Jizhou herd Yuan Shao prints!” “冀州牧袁绍印!” Yanzhou herd Cao Cao prints!” “兖州牧曹操印!” Xuzhou herd Liu Bei prints!” “徐州牧刘备印!” The great seals of feudal lords cover above, is representing approval to this treaty of alliance, the person returns seat in the presence of everyone, then vision bright is staring at pivot shaft and clear and big priest. 一位位诸侯的大印盖在上面,代表着自己对这一份盟约的认可,当众人回到坐席中,便目光熠熠的盯着洛枢、洛彰和大祭司。 The flow arrived here is also only ordinary making treaties of alliance. 流程走到这里都还只是普通的会盟。 When the first All Xia war, when Yuan Shao their six big feudal lords sanctifies an oath by smearing blood, in written pledge of sworn brothers top head great seal, but carries the pledge to get up quite to have Bang Zhou period these various Marquisate toward the pledge evening revolts the flavor. 第一次诸夏大战时,袁绍他们六大诸侯歃血为盟时,都在盟书上盖了大印,但背盟起来颇有邦周时期那些诸侯国“朝盟夕叛”的味道。 Lets pivot shaft clear a money book will lay aside to a gold bookcase, this is imitates Ji Zhao for the gold bookcase that King Wu of Zhou prayed, remaining gave the big priest. 洛彰让洛枢将其中一份金册放置到一份金匮之中,这是效仿姬昭为周武王祈祷的金匮,剩下的一份则交给了大祭司。 The big priest received gold/metal book, lost it directly in the cauldron, everyone heard that worked as lang, saw only the big priest to think the stick in ground, in the cauldron raised suddenly the flaming fire, gold/metal book floated to leap in the fire unexpectedly gradually, saw only wisp of light smoke to form a line, straight went toward the sky. 大祭司接过金册,径直将其丢在了鼎中,所有人都听到了当啷的一声,只见大祭司用神杖在地上一顿,陡然之间鼎中升起了熊熊的大火,那金册竟然在大火中渐渐浮腾而起,只见一缕青烟形成了一条线,直直的向着天空而去。 Came! 来了! In all person hearts is one tight, this is the record in the history book, light smoke like line! 所有人心中都是一紧,这就是记载在史书之中的,青烟如线! It is said in the past Emperor Gaozong Xiaowu sacrificial offering element King heaven time, was such light smoke such as the line then obtained the genesis reign title, that was only one by the reign title of element King heaven personally designation, was the milestone in guy history. 据说当年高宗孝武皇帝祭祀素王上皇天的时候,就是这样的青烟如线然后得到了元始的年号,那是唯一一个由素王上皇天亲自选定的年号,是大汉历史上的丰碑。 At this moment sees this type of light smoke with own eyes such as the scene of line, really has to commend mysteriously. 此刻亲眼见到这种青烟如线的景象,真是不得不称赞神奇。 Even without the same day unparalleled Hou Zhongwu Hou Luo blank rainbow passed through day to strike to kill Dong Zhuo to shock, past also when did not have Soseong of Silla trod the law the day to fall the falling stele to shock, but can see this, has made in the feudal lords heart raise the feeling of trip has not been made in vain. 纵然没有当日无双侯忠武侯洛空白虹贯日击杀董卓震撼,亦没有昔日昭圣王践法时天降陨石碑震撼,但能够见到这一幕,已经让诸侯们心中升起了不虚此行的感觉。 gold/metal book flaming is burning in the fire, the ups and downs in the flame, these jades volatilizes gradually, these gold change to the liquid gradually in the fire turning round is transferring. 那金册在火中熊熊燃烧着,在火焰中沉沉浮浮,那些玉石渐渐挥发,那些黄金则渐渐化作液体在火中滴溜溜的转着。 Bang!” “轰!” When the light smoke diverges, the cloudless day daytime a thunder, will be looking at with total concentration recovering that the people shake, only hears the big priest high sound said: Gold/Metal book has reached higher authorities deeply nine azures above.” 当青烟散去,晴天白日一声雷,将聚精会神望着的众人都震的回过神来,只听到大祭司高声道:“金册已经上达九天青冥之上。” Turns around to face the people clear, on the face has the happy expression, seems like reminds: „ Looks at everyone not to disobey the pledge of today, otherwise, the world executes it! 洛彰转身面向众人,脸上带着笑意,又似乎是提醒道:“望诸位不违今日之誓言,否则,天下共诛之! Among the world the feudal lord of signing in this treaty of alliance, and others jointly had not then been supervised by me, if has violated, then Jian Chu, warns others against following a bad example with joint forces, shocks the world. 天下之间未曾在此盟约上签订之诸侯,便由我等共同监督,若是有所违反,便合力翦除,以儆效尤,震慑天下。 Luo wants the world's first! ” 洛氏愿意天下先!” Clear last few words, categorical, in the tone has the dense chill in the air, in the field everyone can listen to his determination, as well as Luo maintains the determination of this treaty of alliance. 洛彰最后一句话,斩钉截铁,语气中带着森森寒意,场中所有人都能够听出他的决心,以及洛氏维护这个盟约的决心。 Since the ancient times, Luo has not violated this fair treaty of alliance, the Luo prestige is the world people knows, this treaty of alliance from this moment of signing, Luo is the most powerful vanguard. 自古以来,洛氏还从来没有违背过这种公平的盟约,洛氏的信誉是天下人都知道,这条盟约从签订的这一刻起,洛氏就是最有力的捍卫者。 At once, YuanCao Liu these people found, perhaps this is one way that Luo acts, Luo has not been thinking these feudal lords in dependence field maintain this treaty of alliance. 一时之间,袁曹刘这几人都发现,这或许是洛氏出手的一种方式,洛氏从来就没有想着依靠场中的这些诸侯去维护这个盟约。 Luo for a reason that makes everyone unable to speak. 洛氏是为了一个让所有人都说不出话来的理由。 Later so long as is this treaty of alliance has the treaty of relations, Luo can dispatch troops directly, this perhaps is the thing that Luo wants. 以后只要是和这个盟约有关系的条约,洛氏就能够直接出兵,这恐怕才是洛氏想要的东西。 ...... …… After the feudal lords starts to leave the illustrious city gradually, Luo fine jade asks to be clear. 在诸侯们开始渐次离开昭城后,洛璇来找洛彰。 In the peaceful room, regarding the appearance of Luo fine jade, is not clear accidental, he will know Dallo fine jade certainly to come, after all in the treaty of alliance will have the provision about medicine, if Luo fine jade will have no idea, that will be strange, will not seem like Luo. 静室之中,对于洛璇的出现,洛彰一点都不意外,他就知道洛璇一定会来,毕竟盟约中有关于医者的条款,若是洛璇没有什么想法,那才是奇怪,不像是洛氏子。 Luo fine jade first is respectful saluting, then sits in clear opposite said: Uncle, «Typhus Various illnesses Theory» soon compiled to complete, I wanted to leave the illustrious city, does some meaningful matters.” 洛璇先是恭恭敬敬的行礼,然后坐在洛彰对面说道:“伯父,《伤寒杂病论》就快要编撰完成了,我想要离开昭城,去做一些有意义的事。” Clear hears word said with a smile: „ After these ancestral temple conferences, your first said wants to leave the illustrious city, but also remembers before , I have spoken words? 洛彰闻言笑道:“自那些宗庙会议后,你还是第一个过来说想要离开昭城的,还记得之前我说过的话吗? You have not gotten married, is not good! ” 你还没有成婚,不行!” Luo fine jade hears the clear words, actually smiled directly, „ uncle, you are worried that the juniors do not have under the birth the heir first to encounter the danger. 洛璇听到洛彰的话,却直接笑了出来,“伯父,您是担心子弟没有诞下子嗣就先遇到危险。 However currently has the treaty of alliance asylum, I am medicine, walks in the society, so long as these separate a feudal lord of side not to harm me, how I will encounter the danger? ” 但是现在有盟约庇护,我正是医者啊,走在人世间,只要那些割据一方的诸侯不伤害我,我又怎么会遇到危险呢?” Heard Luo fine jade really so saying that laughed clear, said, you were the intention have decided? It seems like in the heart has the mental note to own future?” 听到洛璇果然是这般说,洛彰哈哈大笑起来,“这么说,你是心意已决了?看来是心中对自己的未来有腹稿了?” On Luo fine jade face has the smile: „ Uncle, in the treaty of alliance has the provision of protection medicine, but how to protect does not have the concrete way, moreover is medicine? 洛璇脸上带着笑容道:“伯父,盟约中有保护医者的条款,但是到底怎么保护却没有具体的方式,而且到底怎么才算是医者呢? I thought that does not meet the medical skill absolutely merely then, these medicine must come and go out among the world after all, what to do if were the spy this/should to? 我觉得绝对不是仅仅会医术即可,毕竟这些医者都要出入天下之间,若是做了间谍该要怎么办? I prepare to establish a guild comprised of medicine, looked like the past Mohist school to be the same, but in this guild only then medicine. 我准备建立一个由医者组成的行会,就像是当年的墨家一般,但这个行会中只有医者。 All medicine must compile a register to file, medicine in association cannot participate in any political affairs absolutely, absolutely the government post and noble rank who cannot accept any feudal lord rewards, this will be neutral organization of one among the feudal lords. 所有的医者都要造册备案,协会中的医者绝对不能参与任何的政治事务,绝对不能接受任何诸侯的官爵赏赐,这将是一个在诸侯之间中立的组织。 As the matter stands, how regardless of other medicine, medicine in my organization at least can have the extremely high confidence level in front of the feudal lords, even can free general world any area. ” 这样一来,无论其他的医者如何,我这个组织中的医者至少可以在诸侯们面前有极高的信任度,甚至可以自由通行天下任何地区。” In the clear eyes shone suddenly light/only, the idea of Luo fine jade simply for the enormous supplement of treaty of alliance, moreover this is one quite the organization that was worth forming. 洛彰眼中陡然亮起了光,洛璇的这个想法简直就是为盟约的极大补充,而且这将会是一个相当值得组建的组织。 „Does fine jade, establish this guild, what you wants to make?” “阿璇,建立这个行会,伱都想要做些什么呢?” Luo fine jade hesitates saying: „ Uncle, preliminary, this guild is mainly goes to have the area of war, treats and cures these to lose the combat capability, the person who cannot become a soldier again, as well as between the world these pain by the person who suffers. 洛璇沉吟道:“伯父,初步来看,这个行会主要是前往发生战争的地区,去救治那些失去战斗能力,不能再当兵的人,以及天下之间那些被病痛所折磨的人。 Most important naturally is suppresses chaos caused by war area possible plague cholera and other diseases, to prevent these plagues massively spreads. 最重要的自然是压制战乱地区可能产生的瘟疫霍乱等疾病,以防止这些瘟疫大规模的流传开来。 In addition, I want to conduct to hand down the simple medical skill massively, establishes the medical school in main Big City outside illustrious city. 除此之外,我想大规模的进行传下简单的医术,在昭城以外的主要大城池中建立医学院。 The medicine is the knowledge of practice, the seen infection are more, the medical skill is exquisiter, in the guild is gathering large quantities of medical skill excellent medicine, under compares notes to confirm mutually, decides however can greatly strengthen the respective medical skill. 医学是实践的学问,见到的病灶越多,医术就越精湛,行会中聚集着大批医术极好的医者,互相切磋验证之下,定然能够大大增强各自的医术。 Zhang Zhongjing in the illustrious city, I prepares to go to visit Hua Tuo and Dong Feng, they have great reputation medicine in present age outstanding, if our four people establish the guild together, world medicine decides however comes in swarms. ” 张仲景就在昭城中,我准备前往拜访华佗和董奉,他们都是在当世卓有盛名的医者,若是我们四人一同建立行会,天下医者定然蜂拥而来。” Clear satisfied nod, Luo fine jade can say these words, looked is the process thinks, basically the aspects have considered, as for the organizational structure of guild, this instead is simplest, the organizational structure of immediate study Mohist school. 洛彰满意的点了点头,洛璇能够说出这一番话,一看就是经过深思熟虑的,基本上方方面面都考虑过了,至于行会的组织架构,这反而是最简单的,直接学习墨家的组织架构就可以。 On the clear face has the full happy expression: „ Fine jade, your idea is very good, even if the element King sovereign hears your idea, perhaps must congratulate for you. 洛彰脸上带着满满的笑意道:“阿璇,你的想法很好,即便是素王上皇听到你的想法,恐怕也要为你庆贺。 If you really can make this matter, your name will keep above the history forever, you will enter in the philosophers temple, in the future in 1000, 10,000 years will have countless people to extol your name. 若是你真能将这件事做成,你的名字将会永远留在青史之上,你将会进入诸子圣殿之中,往后一千年,一万年都会有无数的人赞颂你的名字。 As the elder, I only hope that you can safe pleasant, later must pay attention to the security. ” 作为长辈,我只希望你能够平安喜乐,以后一定要注意安全啊。” Clear what Luo fine jade knew Dallo to say was anything, he later must the area that went to the plague to erupt, that is altogether dancing with god of death times, said when did not permit on the contamination, died in the foreign land directly. 洛璇知道洛彰所说的是什么,他以后要前往瘟疫爆发的地区,那就是在与死神一次次共舞,说不准什么时候就沾染上,直接死在异域了。 Luo fine jade kneels on the ground, kotows toward clear layer on layer/heavily, uncle, I will be careful.” 洛璇又跪在地上,向着洛彰重重叩首,“伯父,我会小心谨慎的。” Makes fine jade get up clear, starts to ponder, what can Luo give Luo fine jade to help? 洛彰让洛璇起来,开始沉思,洛氏能够给洛璇什么帮助呢? Guild newly was founded, needing some background is impressive, besides «Typhus Various illnesses Theory», the medicine books in family, you can choose to excerpt some. “行会刚刚成立,需要一些底蕴让人刮目相看,除了《伤寒杂病论》外,家族中的医学书籍,你可以选择摘抄一些。 The person who handles the trivial matters, can reassign from the family, although you do not become an official, but as before is Young Master Luo, should give your resources, will not be few. ” 还有一些打理俗务的人,都可以从家族中抽调,你虽然不是出仕,但依旧是洛氏公子,该给你的资源,一点也不会少。” - -- Before 1700, Luo fine jade established All Xia medicine meeting, this is imperial medicine federation predecessor, generations of medicine always grasped noble spirit of saving the sick and wounded idea, enabling the world not to have the grief again is our ideal, and always never changed course after making a vow fulfilled.- «Commemorating Imperial Medicine Federation Established in 1700» 一千七百年前,洛璇建立了“诸夏医会”,这是“皇家医学联合会”的前身,一代代医者始终秉持“救死扶伤”的理念,使天下再无伤痛是我们的理想,并始终矢志不渝的去践行。-《纪念“皇家医学联合会”成立一千七百年》 ( This chapter ends) (本章完)
