Chapter 138 Second History of the Palace Outside the Qing Dynasty (7-2)

The new year has started, but life is sad again.The emperor was in charge, and the Empress Dowager Cixi taught the government. The power was still in hand, but the time for meeting insignificant ministers and workers was saved, which could be spent on the construction of Sanhai and Qingyi Garden.By the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the cash converted into the five million marks borrowed by the German Bank was exhausted, and it was time to try to change the money again. The idea was made a long time ago, it's too early, but the project can't be delayed, so I have to issue the decree early.He still summoned King Chun and told him face to face: first raise four million yuan for the wedding expenses, half of which will be divided between the household department and the other provinces, and handed over to the wedding ceremony department for backup.At the same time, Li Lianying, the eunuch in charge of the Changchun Palace, was sent to be in charge of all matters.

This is May 20th.Not long after receiving the order, King Chun fell ill.The disease was in the liver, and the liver was hurt by depression and anger, all for the purpose of raising four million yuan.Where is the queen, where is the wedding ceremony?I don't know when the big wedding will be!Where the four million silver was used, only the Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Lianying knew. When the emperor got the news, King Chun couldn't get up anymore. He really wanted to visit him personally, but he didn't dare to say that.Even Weng Tonghe, who was closest to him, did not dare to say it in front of him, because he was afraid that Master Weng would play rashly and cause empress dowager Cixi's displeasure.

The Empress Dowager Cixi often sent eunuchs to visit the sick, but when she came back to order, she always avoided the emperor.He could only occasionally hear: "Prince Chun is seriously ill again!" "Prince Chun seems to be better these few days!" Even if he heard it, he didn't dare to ask more questions, he could only cry in secret.After the Empress Dowager's longevity, the news that King Jin's illness became more and more serious, among the princes and ministers, there is nothing to avoid.First of all, Beizi Yimo said that his illness had reached a worrying level, Qing Wang Yikuang also said the same, and military aircraft leader Li Wang Shiduo, under the urging of Xu Gengshen, specially submitted a report. Can be considered.

The memorial went to the emperor first, and after reading it, he felt miserable, but he didn't dare to shed tears. He waited until Yuqing Palace, and finally couldn't help it when he saw Weng Tonghe. "Prince Chun is seriously ill!" He choked up and said, "I'm afraid it's unreliable." After speaking, tears fell like rain, but there was no sound in his throat. Weng Tonghe also shed tears along with him, but he couldn't comfort the emperor. The only thing that could comfort the emperor at this time was an order to order the emperor to come to Prince Chun's mansion to treat the disease.Weng Tonghe once wanted to unite with the imperial ministers to ask such an edict to come down. Seeing how many people were silent and how few people agreed, he could only sigh secretly as a conclusion.

However, he is a master after all, and he will not ignore the guidance on the big joints, so he specially checked out an article and submitted it.This article is called "Pu Yi", written by Cheng Yi, a great Confucian in the Song Dynasty. It discusses how to respect Renzong and his biological father after Song Renzong's nephew, King Pu, inherited the Datong.Remind the emperor that King Chun really passed away, how should he mourn and obey the etiquette and deal with himself.So as not to cause great disturbances during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor refused to read the article, and said with a sad face: "Prince Chun's illness, the empress dowager is anxious, and I am also anxious! What should I do?"

"The ancestor of heaven is above, and he will be able to protect him silently." Weng Tong and Li Chunxiao can tell the sky, but they hide their words: "The emperor is so concerned, and he will surely return to heaven." The emperor understood what he meant, nodded and asked, "Have you visited Prince Chun?" "I have been there several times, but I dare not invite Prince Chun." "Why don't you see him?" After saying this, the emperor realized that he was asking too much.He knew that King Chun had always treated Weng Tonghe like a Han Chinese, respectful and affectionate, and when they met, King Chun must ask the emperor how he expressed his illness.This question would make it difficult for Weng Tonghe to answer. A bad answer would not only hinder his own future, but also cause trouble for the emperor.Therefore, without waiting for Weng Tonghe's answer, he asked again:

"Are you still going today?" Weng Tonghe didn't plan to go at first, but after hearing the emperor's question, he naturally changed his mind: "Today." "I really miss you. You," the emperor thought, with the honor of ten thousand chariots, not as good as the people from poor families, so he could express his father-son love.In an instant, thousands of grievances and sorrows rushed to my heart, blocked my throat, and cried incoherently, "Take my words away!" But Weng Tonghe didn't dare to cry with the emperor anymore, and with the gesture of abiding by the way of ministers, he was ordered to answer cautiously and expressionlessly: "Yes!"

So he withdrew from Yuqing Palace at noon, and immediately took a car to Shiyuan. As usual, he was received in the study by Chang Shi of the palace surnamed He. "How is your lord these two days?" "It's getting worse!" He Changshi replied with a frown: "Eat less, sleep less, I just don't eat or sleep. I can't move my hands and feet. I had a major solution the day before yesterday, and it took me thirteen days. untie." "What about the spirit?" "Naturally withered to the extreme." Speaking of this, Ling Fu, the imperial doctor specially appointed by the Empress Dowager Cixi, passed by the window. Weng Tonghe was also familiar with him, so he called him by his nickname: "Chu Ping! Please come in and talk."

What I'm talking about is the condition of King Chun.Ling Fu Zeng was an unreserved person, he neither exaggerated nor concealed, saying that King Chun's origin had been lost, but if it was said to be in danger, it was not necessarily true. Hearing this, I can feel relieved.Weng Tonghe told He Changshi of the emperor's concern, and asked him to convey it to King Jin, and then he left and went home.When he went to the study the next day, the emperor didn't wait for him to speak, and said happily: "The military plane played today, and Prince Jin's illness has improved!"

"Yes!" Weng Tonghe concealed He Changshi's words, and just replied like this: "The imperial doctor Ling Fu once told the minister: Although Prince Ye's illness is serious, it doesn't matter for a while." "Well!" said the emperor, "The Empress Dowager has already issued an order: on the 25th, he will visit Prince Xingchun's mansion to take care of his illness. Today is 17, but I hope nothing will happen during these eight days." As he spoke, his expression was sad. up. That is to say, the emperor hoped that Prince Chun would not die during these eight days.Otherwise, the father and son will not even see each other for the last time!Weng Tonghe sighed silently, and said softly: "It's time to write a poem today, please ask the emperor to conceive it!"

Where did the emperor come from to write poems?It's impossible to do.Because the Empress Dowager Cixi questioned his homework very strictly.So I could only pull myself up and answer: "The master made a question." Weng Tonghe also knew that the emperor didn't care about his homework, but he couldn't let the students go on vacation like a private teacher, so he only wrote a very broad poem title: "Improvisation for Many Days", two poems of seven unique styles. The rhyme of limit is also wide, which is the eleven truths of the upper level and the seven suns of the lower level. With the topic in hand, what the emperor thought of was the joy of the prosperous age, the harvest of the grain, and the lack of weapons and soldiers. During the slack season in winter, the family sat around the stove and chatted, vented and talked about family relationships.However, how can this longing be shaped into chants?The emperor's poems are also like the stereotyped writing of the end of the game, like the writing of the saints, there is a certain formula, such poem titles are always inspired by things, from the bitter cold of winter, thinking of the suffering of the people's livelihood, sympathizing with the common people and not knowing why they died ?Or Yu Ruixue was very relieved to think that next year must be a good year.Among these poems, most of the poems made by the emperors of different dynasties are the "Complete Works of Yangzheng Bookstore" written by Emperor Gan Xuanzong.However, after writing, I can't remember what I said? ※ ※ ※ The long-awaited June 25th has finally arrived.The emperor summoned military planes and introduced personnel as usual, and did not start driving until nine o'clock.Empress Dowager Cixi opened the Luan half an hour late so that the emperor could kneel in front of Chunwang's mansion to receive her. At noon, the emperor arrived at Shiyuan, but he couldn't see his biological father, King Chun immediately, because he had to wait for the Empress Dowager Cixi to arrive and have a look together.However, the emperor finally saw the little brother who was born not long ago and met for the first time.King Jin Fujin had five children in total. The eldest daughter and eldest son died in the fifth year of Tongzhi, and the second son was the emperor.In the early years of Guangxu, two more children were born. The third child only lived for a day and a half, and the fourth child Zaiguang only lived to be five years old.On the other hand, Liu Jia's family of the Fujin Jin Dynasty had three sons in a row, with few illnesses. The fifth son Zai Li was five years old, the sixth Zaixun was four years old, and the seventh son was named Zai Tao a few days ago.Chun Wang's favorite is Zai Xun, who is white, fat, and very strong. As soon as the Empress Dowager Cixi arrived, Feng Yu was carried to the hall, got off the sedan chair and sat down, waiting for King Jin Fujin to lead the whole family to salute.She then turned to Princess Rongshou and said, "Go and see your seventh uncle!" Although Princess Rongshou came here with her retinue, she was also the person entrusted to pick her up for Prince Jin's residence. She immediately replied: "Prince Chun: I'm sick in bed, so I can't pick you up. Don't dare to work for the Empress Dowager to watch. " Then she asked in her own tone: "Would Lafayette take a look outside Seventh Uncle's bedroom?" "No! I'll look in his room. If he can't get up, he doesn't have to get up." Having said that, how could King Chun not wake up quickly.Reluctantly unable to move his hands and feet, he barely put on his gown, and was helped up by two guards. He was called standing, but he was really suspended in the air. The emperor who was following the Empress Dowager Cixi felt as if his heart was being pierced when he saw King Chun's scrawny, stiff limbs, and vacant eyes. Eyes, must face alcohol king. King Chun was also sad and did not dare to cry, and he wanted to put on a smile, "My minister is dead!" He said inarticulately, "I can't move my legs, so I can't kowtow to the empress dowager." "I've wanted to come and see you for a long time. I'm just afraid that you'll be tired, which is not good, and it's been delayed until today." Empress Dowager Cixi said these two compassionate words, looked back at the emperor and said, "Let's hold hands!" "Holding hands salute" is a common salute of banner people. Different from greeting each other, holding hands has the meaning of familiarity and informality.King Chun was quite relieved to hear that Empress Dowager Cixi stipulated that the emperor should follow him to perform this etiquette. But wanting to hold hands was powerless, so Princess Rongshou flashed out, lifted King Chun's hand, and handed it to the emperor.The flesh and blood relationship between father and son is only a moment of hand in hand. Looking at each other with tears in their eyes, the emperor had thousands of words stuck in his throat, and he had to choose from thousands of choices, and only said one sentence: "Take care of yourself!" The father is naturally more restrained, and he replied with great difficulty: "It is not easy to keep the Qing Dynasty! The emperor knows the painstaking efforts of the empress dowager? Always abide by the family law of the ancestors, listen to the empress dowager's instruction, study hard, and report to the empress dowager. The empress dowager's entrustment is so heavy that it comforts the hopes of the people of the world." "Yes!" The emperor immediately realized that this was not the tone of the emperor to his officials, and immediately added: "Got it! I will remember it." "It's not bad to read." Empress Dowager Cixi said, "You can understand it when you read it." "This is a lesson from the empress dowager." King Chun replied, "I always ask the empress dowager to train in politics for a few years." "Look! Only the emperor can pick it up, so I can rest assured." As the Empress Dowager Cixi said, she looked at the hands held by their father and son.Princess Rongshou hurried in and said to Empress Dowager Cixi: "Lafayette, please sit outside! Let Uncle Qi rest." "Ah, I forgot." Empress Dowager Cixi said to King Chun, "You can rest at ease. The person surnamed Ling seems to be right. If it is not suitable, I will ask the Tai Hospital to send another person. " King Jin and his family were all looking forward to the Empress Dowager Cixi sending Xue Fuchen or Wang Shouzheng to see him.Xue Fuchen has been promoted many times, and now he is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. When the Empress Dowager Cixi feels a little unwell, she will summon him to the palace for diagnosis and treatment.Wang Shou is serving as the magistrate in Tianjin, so it is very convenient to call him to Beijing.However, she was unwilling to send these two officials with famous medical skills all over the country to treat King Chun's illness. She didn't know what the intention was, so no one dared to ask rashly. ※ ※ ※ The emperor stayed in Shiyuan for a total of three hours, and met King Chun four times, but every time he met, it was only for a cup of tea, and most of the time he was silent.It's just a conversation, but those few words are repeated over and over again, one persuades the king to rest at ease, and the other persuades the emperor to be obedient and work hard.Only for the last time, when the emperor returned to Luan to say goodbye to his sickbed, King Chun said an important word: "Don't forget the navy!" emperor. Chun Wang's concern and grievance are all in this sentence.A long time ago, he entrusted Qing Wang Yikuang and told the few more upright princes and ministers in the dynasty to ask everyone to understand his difficulties. Kunming Lake has been replaced by Bohai Sea, and Longevity Mountain has been replaced by Luanyang.It means that the large-scale navy has become a Qingyi Garden under the Longevity Mountain and beside the Kunming Lake.Now the project of Qingyi Garden can be completed in half a year at most, and the Empress Dowager Cixi has decided to change its name to the Summer Palace.King Chun's words can be regarded as a will, which means that once the Summer Palace is completed, we must try to expand and organize the navy.However, he is not long in the world, and this wish is expected to be fulfilled by the emperor.Transferring the gold Ruyi bestowed by the Empress Dowager Cixi to the emperor is not only a blessing, but also a reminder to the emperor that if someone dissuades the expansion of the navy, he might as well use the Empress Dowager Cixi as a shield: the large-scale navy was originally ordered by Yi. handle.The King of Alcohol patrols the sea and is bestowed with a golden wish. You can imagine how Empress Dowager Cixi attaches great importance to this matter? Although the emperor could roughly comprehend the deep meaning of King Chun, he didn't have the peace of mind to think about it, because the illness became serious again, and the wording of the pulse case was simple: "Lack of food, tired mind, hoarse voice and weak breath, try to treat it with all your strength." meaning.The medicines used are Shengdi, Digupi, Tianmendong, and Ophiopogon japonicus, all of which are cold medicines for nourishing the lungs and clearing the fire. Of course, there are also supplements such as ginseng and Atractylodes macrocephala to strengthen the vitality and strengthen the spleen and stomach, but the weight is not heavy, it is nothing more than embellishment That's all. After the serious illness of Empress Dowager Cixi from blood collapse to bone steaming, she also knew the properties of medicine. In addition, Li Lianying's information from various places also said that King Chun was in danger.Once the funeral is passed away, of course we should look at it differently. Although it is not a big funeral, it should not be compared with the funerals of other princes.Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi specially summoned the military plane to talk about the life and death of King Chun. When mentioning Chun Wang's illness, he couldn't help feeling sad, "It looks like it's been dragging on for a while." Empress Dowager Cixi sighed and said, "But it's really a coincidence that the time has arrived!" Li Wang Shiduo didn't know what she meant, so he just agreed as usual: "Yes!" "In case something happens to Prince Jin, of course the emperor has to wear filial piety?" Leaving aside the biological father, the emperor should also wear filial piety in terms of his uncle, so Shiduo agreed again: "Yes!" "Is it Su Su?" Shi Duo was dumbfounded by these words, and turned to look at Xu Geng, beckoning him to act on his behalf. "The empress dowager is wise. Like the example of Prince Chun, this court is still creative. If it is true, the emperor regards the righteousness of the relatives, and the funeral ceremony is naturally different from other princes. In the future, I will ask for a decree, and the ministers will study it carefully. , the service period is acceptable." "Yes, it is always different from other princes. There is no way to talk about it at the moment." After a short pause, the Empress Dowager Cixi asked herself again and said: "How can it be unlucky to arrive at the right time? The emperor's big wedding should be fixed. If the queen is established and the auspicious date is set, something happens to Prince Jin. The emperor is in uniform, what should we do?" "The empress dowager is thoughtful and considerate, and the ministers are very admired." Xu Geng didn't care about Shiduo, and he just said to Chen Zou bluntly: "A big wedding is a great joy, so naturally we must be cautious and respectful." "You mean, let's see the condition of King Chun." "yes!" Empress Dowager Cixi looked around at all the ministers and asked for their opinions: "Do you all have the same meaning as Xu Gengshen?" Everyone refused to speak easily, and finally Shiduo responded: "The empress dowager please make a decision." "I also think it's good to take another look. It's not appropriate to hold weddings and funerals together." Empress Dowager Cixi said: "I originally planned to be crowned empress within this year, but now I have to delay it. We will wait until next spring." "Yes." Xu Geng replied again: "The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, which is the auspicious day for the Empress." This reminded Empress Dowager Cixi that there are many happy events, and they will be more lively together. "For the time being, let's set it in April next year!" April next year will be the completion date of the Summer Palace.She said: "Hopefully Prince Chun has recovered by then." It was a hope, and it seemed slim.But as the king of alcohol does not hide, the emperor wears filial piety clothes for a year, so he will be born in April next year and get married in the spring of the following year.Calculated in this way, everyone will have to see whether King Chun dies that day? Amidst the sighs that everyone thought King Chun's life would be lost, there were two people who were very confident. One was the imperial doctor Ling Fuzeng, who mainly used elk horns, which were similar in shape to deer antler but different in function, thinking that it would be safe.But at that time, two other imperial physicians, Zhuang Shouhe and Li Shichang, were added. They all believed that Chun Wang had severe lung heat, and he mainly used cold medicine. He insisted not to use heat supplements lightly. The other is Xu Yanzuo, a candidate for the donated class in Beijing, who lives opposite Weng Tonghe and came to see him one day.Weng Tonghe heard his servants talk about this man, he lived in Shanghai for a long time, was tainted with foreign style, usually talked loudly, exaggerated, and his behavior was not prudent, "he didn't look like an old man who was an official", so he regarded him as a fool, of course he was out of sight. "I have something important to say, and I'm not here to ask for help, nor to ask for a job. Please come in and reply to the housekeeper. I'll just say a few words and leave." "Master Xu!" Weng's house manager replied: "If there is something important to say, I will definitely pass it on to Chen Wei." "No! You have to say it face to face." Xu Yanzuo said: "Because Mr. Weng is a minister of the court and a master respected by King Chun, I asked to see him. If it was someone else, I wouldn't be happy about it!" Weng's house manager had no choice but to go back for him.Weng Tonghe heard Xu Yanzuo speak so solemnly, so he invited him in to meet him.Xu Yanzuo bowed to each other without bowing, nor did he exchange greetings, he looked like a proud prince in common clothes. "Master Weng! I came here because of King Chun's illness." Xu Yanzuo said straight to the point, "It is said that King Chun's illness cannot be cured, but it is not! I am sure of the cure, and if three doses of medicine do not work, I am willing to accept the crime." Weng Tonghe didn't like this kind of tone, and asked coldly, "Why do you have such confidence?" "The imperial doctor has always been able to treat only minor illnesses, not serious ones. If you consult an imperial physician for a serious illness, you must die. Isn't the Empress Dowager Cixi cured by Yin Xue and Wang Mingfu?" "Please get down to business." "Of course we have to get to the point." Xu Yanzuo said, "I have read King Chun's pulse case, and the imperial doctor had misunderstood the disease. King Chun's illness, as Ye Tianshi's medical record said: 'Sorrowful, unhappy, and mentally injured. .If the heart-fire is weakened and Yin Qi takes advantage of it, it will be miserable.' It is absolutely not suitable to use cold medicine." Weng Tonghe was terrified.The root of the disease is right!But only when he was right, he didn't dare to ask about it, and he didn't let him talk about King Chun's illness anymore, he just asked straightforwardly: "What can I learn from you?" "I heard that King Chun respects Mr. Weng very much. And Mr. Weng is a master, so it is appropriate to relieve the emperor's worries about missing his relatives. I would like to ask Mr. Weng to recommend me to see the pulse at Prince Chun's mansion." Xu Yanzuo once again expressed his confidence , "I said that if three or three doses of medicine do not work, I am willing to accept the crime." This is really outrageous!Weng Tonghe thought to himself, this person is unreasonable, so he can only use a big hat as an order to expel guests, "Since you know the importance of marrying relatives, you should know that Wang Jin's condition can be heard at any time, and he will handle it according to the order." He shook his head and said: "Recommend a doctor. , no one is allowed." "Since this is the case, let Mr. Weng play the emperor's request face to face." It goes a long way!Weng Tonghe replied with a smile: "Although I am a master, I can't talk nonsense in front of the emperor. Please return with one step! I will find an opportunity to express your kindness for you." Xu Yanzuo left without a word, and Weng Tonghe also put the unexpected guest behind him. After four or five days, the emperor suddenly asked Weng Tonghe, "There is Xu Yanzuo, do you know who it is?" Weng Tonghe's heart moved, he didn't dare not tell the truth, and replied very cautiously: "This person lives across the door from the minister's house, and is a candidate member of the donated squad. I have never had any contact with this person." "A few days ago, he went to Prince Jin's mansion and recommended himself. He was willing to treat Prince Jin's illness. He said that if the medicine he took three times didn't work, he would be punished. Hearing what he said was so sure, let him diagnose the pulse and prescribe a prescription. Try it. You know that taking his medicine is really effective, and now Prince Chun's right hand can move slightly." There are such aggressive and strange things!Weng Tonghe didn't quite believe it, but he also felt a little regretful, and he stood there for a while, speechless. "I heard that the prescription he prescribed was 'Xiaojianzhong Decoction'." The emperor asked, "Master Weng, you know the properties of medicine. What kind of medicine is Xiaojianzhong Decoction?" Weng Tonghe thought for a while and replied: "This is a superficial medicine for headache, fever, sweat and wind. It mainly uses cinnamon twigs, plus licorice, jujube, peony, ginger, maltose and so on. Prince Zhichun's illness, using Xiaojianzhong Decoction is unexpected." "Another thing is fish oil bought from foreigners." Weng Tonghe knew in his heart that the fish oil mentioned by the emperor was actually called cod liver oil.He heard from a letter from Changshu that cod-liver oil was quite effective in treating tuberculosis.However, Prince Chun's illness has improved, it is impossible to speculate whether it is the effect of Xiao Jianzhong decoction or the effect of cod liver oil, so I dare not make a judgment lightly. But he is a scholar after all, and he refuses to hide his kindness, so he replied: "Since taking Xu Yanzuo's medicine is effective, of course we should ask this person to see it again." "Yes! That's how I played back to the Empress Dowager." ※ ※ ※ Xu Yanzuo became the honored guest of Prince Chun's Mansion.Every morning early in the morning, the mansion sent a blue woolen car to pick him up. After he had a pulse diagnosis for King Chun, he was accompanied by a deacon guard to gossip.At noon, there was a feast of jelly dishes for entertainment, and after the meal, I had a pulse examination, and I was accompanied by gossip and led a stroll.Watch it again at dusk before sending it back by car.What comes with the car is a big food box, or a Yipin pot, plus a roast duck, or four dishes and four snacks, every meal is not empty.Of course, I have given a few other gifts, even though they are not cash, antique calligraphy and paintings are also very valuable. After ten days of diagnosis and treatment like this, Chun Wang got better every day, and his right hand and left leg could turn slightly.Seeing this situation, Xu Yanzuo felt more confident, and the prescription that day was: "Five points of antler, mixed with rice wine." After seeing this prescription, He Changshi said: "Master Xu, the velvet antler is too hot!" "It doesn't matter!" Xu Yanzuo said, "Whether the medicine is hot or cold, as long as it is right for the symptoms." "Yes!" He Changshi was confident and stopped arguing, "Master Xu, please sit in the garden." When Xu Yanzuo was lingering in the garden and admiring the winter plums, He Changshi had sent the prescription to the palace.The Empress Dowager Cixi has a decree: All prescriptions containing severe cold and severe fever, important medicines for life and death, must be sent to the palace for inspection first.Deer antler is called "the key medicine for tonifying and nourishing yang", and He Changshi certainly dare not make mistakes. The prescription was delivered in the morning, and there was an answer around noon. The Empress Dowager Cixi heard the preconceived words of Zhuang Shouhe and others, not only forbidding the use of this prescription, but also thinking that Xu Yanzuo was too bold to use wolf and tiger medicine lightly, and would cause trouble. The decree is not allowed to delay Xu Yanzuo's treatment for King Chun. Xu Yanzuo didn't know that in a moment, there was a big difference between prosperity and decline.Early the next morning, he was still in high spirits, dressed neatly, and waited for the car from Prince Chun's Mansion to pick him up.Until the middle of the day, there was no news, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could it be that the medicine of deer antler brewing wine caused a catastrophe? Thinking of this, he was deeply disturbed, and rushed to King Jin's mansion to see that there was nothing unusual in front of the door, so he explained to the door that he wanted to see He Changshi. He Changshi is gone.The one who answered brought out a red envelope, which contained one hundred taels of bank notes, and there was a sentence: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your trouble. Don't bother me tomorrow."
