In the crisp autumn weather, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty arrived in his loyal city of Chang'an.
He was very low-key when he went there, and naturally there was no crowd of welcome when he came back. After all, he was coming back from vacation, not returning victorious from a war.
Tai Chi Palace, inside the Queen's bedroom.
Snapped.
Li Shimin sat down on the soft couch, narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Although the palace is good, it is still more comfortable at home."
"Don't mention it. I haven't been here for the past two months. I still miss every table, chair, and tree in the palace."
Although the climate of the palace is suitable, the facilities are simple and the staff are not rationed. All aspects are always inferior to the comfort of the palace.
"yes."
Changsun Wujia held his forehead and said a little tiredly,
"Don't go out and bother people anymore. I'd rather the cat stay in the nest."
"You are afraid of heat, but I feel comfortable in summer. When the weather is cold, my hands and feet are cold, so I can't stand it. When the autumn wind blows, my chest becomes tight again."
"cough--"
As soon as she finished speaking, she started coughing.
"Okay, okay, I won't go anymore, or I can go by myself, okay?"
Li Shimin quickly stood up and supported his wife, saying with concern,
"Guanyin Maid, are you okay?"
"Your body is really weak... You shouldn't be allowed to go to Jiuwei Mountain to enjoy the wind. I heard that Ming Ming has already gone to call Master Sun, and I will come to show you right away."
Changsun Wugou nodded and closed his eyes slightly.
"hiss--"
Li Chengqian in the room took off his shoes and socks, grinned and said,
"My feet hurt, and I have blisters again... I also need treatment from Grandpa Sun, wuwuwu..."
I saw that the blisters on his smooth feet were wrinkled, with light yellow water constantly leaching out, and it could not be wiped away with a cloth.
There was also a little fat guy, Li Tai, who was also sticking out his tongue, his face was a little pale, and he looked like he was short of breath.
"You guys..."
Li Shimin looked at the three mother and son and couldn't help but sigh with his hands on his hips.
"I just went out to play for a while, and everyone was so exhausted that they almost called me doctor."
"Cheng Qian, Qing Que, it doesn't matter that your mother is weak, why are you two so weak? When my father was your age, he could kill a cow with one punch!"
"It's really... not as good as beauty!"
Among the people present, only Li Lizhi was still alive and kicking, showing no signs of fatigue.
"That's because children take good care of themselves!"
Li Lizhi raised her head and said,
"The master taught the children medical principles and health-preserving methods. The children have kept them in mind!"
Li Shimin nodded approvingly.
"It seems that Li Zhi is very talented in medicine."
He smiled and said,
"Maybe you can become a girl!"
When Li Lizhi heard this, her eyes lit up and she was a little eager to give it a try.
At this moment, the door of the house was pushed open with a creak.
The two walked in side by side.
"See your majesty, empress."
Sun Simiao carried the medicine box and saluted the emperor and empress.
"Master Sun! No gifts, no gifts."
Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said,
"The Queen has suffered a cold and has some chest tightness. Please help her."
"There is also the prince, who is suffering from foot disease again, and there is also the little fat boy Qingque, who is also short of breath and can't speak well."
"Please help me, thank you for your help..."
When Sun Simiao heard this, he glanced at the three of them, somewhat stunned.
"What's going on? Are there so many sick people?"
he said in surprise.
"I stayed in the palace for two months. The journey back was tiring. Once I got home and relaxed, it was inevitable that I would have some minor ailments."
Xu Fenglei responded from the side,
"The queen suffered from the wind and cold caused by the mountain wind on the mountain."
"Cheng Qian is suffering from a serious illness, just like before."
"As for Qingque... hum, he's fat."
Sun Simiao suddenly realized.
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and welcomed him into the house.
"These are all minor illnesses. You can help me to see if they can be cured."
Sun Simiao sat down next to his eldest son Wugu and said casually,
"The old man has packed his things and is going to Qinling Mountains. If it had been you, someone else would have kicked him out a long time ago."
Xu Fenglei grinned.
"My half-assed skills haven't been practiced for so many years. I'm afraid of making mistakes."
He said happily,
"The queen has a complex constitution, and the prince suffers from diabetes, so how dare he prescribe random prescriptions?"
Sun Simiao snorted lightly.
"You also know that you are half-assed, so why don't you practice more?"
He said angrily,
"I was in Chang'an a while ago, why didn't you come to ask me for advice?"
"Medical knowledge is vast and majestic. If you don't practice and just think about resting on your laurels, you will forget all your laurels sooner or later!"
Xu Fenglei waved his hands repeatedly.
"Weren't we busy before... I am the supervisor of the country, so I can't say that I have to deal with everything every day, but I have to deal with thousands of things every day. How can I have free time..."
He was about to make an excuse when he saw Li Shimin glance over.
"You take care of everything every day?"
Li Er sneered and said,
"Who can count the number of times he has entered the palace in two months on the palm of his hand?"
"You still have the nerve to say you're not free, you're just a lazy person!"
Xu Fenglei: "#￥%...&*##"
Don't wear something so exposed...
"If your master were still alive, he would be furious to see you like this!"
"I really... don't know how to say hello to you!"
Sun Simiao put his fingers on Changsun Wuguo's wrist, scolding him while checking for his pulse without delay.
After the scolding, the pulse was diagnosed.
"Queen, don't be alarmed. It's nothing serious. It's just an ordinary exposure to wind."
Sun Simiao retracted his fingers, took out a pen and paper, and said calmly,
"But your body is indeed weak. This kind of weakness cannot be repaired by careful care. It may even have the opposite effect."
"To put it bluntly, if you were a peasant woman in the countryside, working in the fields every day and earning only a meager diet, maybe your bones would be stronger."
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he couldn't help showing doubts.
"Master Sun, how do you say this?"
she asked,
"Isn't it bad to live life too carefully?"
Sun Simiao nodded.
"Peonies are the most delicate flowers. Even if someone takes good care of them, they will still wither if they are not careful."
He said,
"But the weeds in the wilderness can grow very well without anyone taking care of them. Even violent storms, thunder and fire cannot kill them, and they will grow very tall again in a few days."
"Wildfires never burn out, but spring breezes blow again." Xu Fenglei answered.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"This poem is good. Did you think of it yourself?" he asked.
"Copied, copied..." Xu Fenglei was too embarrassed to steal it for himself.
"The same is true for people."
Sun Simiao said,
"From the imperial palace to the temporary palace, there is actually no difference. They are all high and mighty and cannot support a living."
"It might be helpful if we can go from the palace to the private sector to the real fields and step on the soft soil with bare feet."
Changsun Wugou nodded.
"I have taken note of Master Sun's words."
She said seriously,
"When I have free time from now on, I will definitely go for a walk in the fields and experience the real livelihood of the people."
Swish, swish, swish.
Sun Simiao quickly filled out the prescription and handed it to the slave at the side.
"Just follow this to take the medicine, boil two bowls, and take it twice a day."
He said in a deep voice,
"The Empress is weak, so I will use a lighter medicine, combined with some warm and tonic medicine."
"Listen, you said before that your master likes to prescribe aconite and ginger-type medicines, right?"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"yes."
He responded,
"My master has said that all diseases in life are caused by insufficient Yang Qi and poor defense, so supporting Yang is the first priority!"
"With a strong firepower, all diseases will be eliminated!"
Sun Simiao smiled and stroked his beard.
"Your master has obtained the true biography of Zhang Zhongjing."
He smiled lightly and said,
"This theory is not bad. However, facing a body like the Queen's, do you dare to use Aconite?"
Xu Fenglei's expression froze.
"No...don't dare."
He scratched his head and said,
"Aconite is too toxic. If something goes wrong, it will be over."
Sun Simiao's face darkened.
"What went wrong? Although aconite is poisonous, it can be cured by licorice. As long as it is combined properly, there is nothing wrong with it!"
he rebuked,
"You don't dare, it's because you are not good at studying!"
Xu Fenglei smiled awkwardly and did not dare to refute.
Really not a good learner.
"Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases is a masterpiece. It is the first medical book after the Huangdi Neijing. You should read it more and practice it if you have the opportunity."
Sun Simiao said,
"People say that Zhang Zhongjing wrote "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" mainly because he saw that there were too many poor people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the patients could not afford expensive medicines, so he found a new way to use common medicines such as aconite and paojiang to restore Yang and save the disease. , its medicine is powerful and risky, and it is suitable for poor people, but not for high-ranking officials. I think this is nonsense!"
"People are people. Are the physiques of high-ranking officials different from those of poor people?"
"The poor can be cured, and the nobles can also be cured! It's just that those who are not good at studying medicine and have insufficient standards do not dare to use Zhang Zhongjing's prescriptions for fear of using the wrong method or getting into trouble."
"Healing the dying and healing the wounded is basically competing with the Lord of Hell for people. I'm afraid of this and also afraid of that. Then just don't be a doctor!"
Sun Simiao made a sudden output, and everyone present nodded.
Li Lizhi's eyes were even more sparkling and sparkling.
“Be taught and be taught.”
Xu Fenglei hurriedly cupped his hands and said,
"Then according to your opinion, Zhang Zhongjing's prescription can also be used for the Queen's illness?"
"Then why don't you use it?"
He glanced at the prescription...it was not a familiar formula.
"I have my own way of using medicine. I have my own method."
Sun Simiao raised his head and said,
"People like you, who are not good at studying medicine, have to follow the gourd's example. And people like me, of course, have to think about developing new prescriptions and leaving more prescriptions and ideas for future generations."
"There is always more than one way to climb a mountain."
"How about it, do you want to learn?"
Xu Fenglei's mind moved.
Ha!
Despite the slovenly appearance of this old Sun, he is Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine, an ancient miracle doctor who is as famous as Master Zhongjing!
Of course he has his own original method, and there is no need to stick to ancient methods.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it, but... I have a good idea."
Xu Fenglei waved to Li Lizhi and said hurriedly,
"Li Zhi, come here."
"Greetings to your Master Sun."
Li Lizhi heard this call and immediately ran over and gave Sun Simiao a big bow.
"Meet Grandpa Sun and Master!"
She shouted sweetly.
This time, Sun Simiao couldn't fix it.
"Ah? Princess Changle?"
Old Sun was stunned for a moment, waved his hands repeatedly and said,
"No, it won't work. Princess, you have a daughter of gold, why should you learn this?"
"You can't bear this hardship, you can't bear it...Listen, aren't you making a fool of yourself!"
Did he never expect that Xu Fenglei would ask Li Lizhi to come and become his disciple?
Accept a princess as your apprentice?
Isn’t this noisy!
"It's not nonsense, Li Zhi really wants to study medicine."
Xu Fenglei said seriously,
"I've also seen it right. She really has the talent to study medicine, no worse than your proud disciple Lin Xing."
"If she becomes your disciple, given time, she will become a famous female doctor!"
Sun Simiao twitched his beard.
"No, no! This is absolutely not possible!"
He refused,
"Princess is fine, why are you going through this hardship? There's no need, there's really no need..."
"It's necessary!" Li Lizhi raised her head and said.
Swish.
Several eyes were focused on her.
Li Lizhi's eyes were firm and she said forcefully:
"Li Zhi doesn't want to see her mother weak and unable to do anything!"
"Li Zhi doesn't want to see my father working hard, but he can only say a few nice words that don't hurt him!"
"Li Zhi doesn't want to see my eldest brother depressed due to foot disease!"
"My father, my mother, my master, my brothers and sisters... all must be well! Lizi must be their protection! So Lizi must study medicine!"
"Please ask Grandpa Sun and Master to accept me!"
Plop!
She immediately knelt down and knocked her head on the ground.
"Beautiful, good boy..."
"This child is so filial and kind..."
Changsun Wugou and Li Shimin looked at each other, and both saw the moved look in the other's eyes.
I am so happy to have given birth to such a well-behaved and sensible daughter.
"Master Sun, since Li Zhi wants to study medicine, you should accept her as your apprentice."
Changsun Wugou said softly,
"She is not a delicate child and will not make you angry."
Li Shimin also chimed in:
"Yes, Lizhi is the most innocent and unsqueamish among my children. Master Sun, please accept her as your disciple."
The emperor and queen both requested at the same time, which made Sun Simiao couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
This... it’s impossible even if you don’t agree!
"But I...have never accepted a female apprentice."
He said helplessly,
"I don't know how to teach... After all, I often have to travel around, and I have to go into the Qinling Mountains and other mountains. The disciples have to follow me in order to grow."
"Your Highness Princess...can you bear it?"
Xu Fenglei grinned and said:
"What's the point? The female apprentice is actually pretty good!"
"Think about it, do you have a lot of inconvenience when you treat those women with gynecological diseases? Isn't it very convenient to have a female apprentice beside you to help, check the women's health and so on?"
"As for Yunyou and Jinshan... it depends on the situation. I don't ask Beauty to inherit your mantle. I just hope you can teach her that it would be good to become a qualified girl. She doesn't have to inherit your mantle. .”
"I have taught Li Zhi a lot of basics before. She is a smart girl and can get started quickly! If you don't believe me, why don't you give her a test?"
After hearing these words, Sun Simiao's expression changed, and he was indeed a little moved.
In gynecology, it is really convenient to have a female apprentice by your side!
