"Guo Xi, courtesy name Liren, was born in the ninth year of Zhenguan. His father is Guoyin, who was born in the fourth year of Wude. He moved to Yongningfang, Yangzhou. He has superb medical skills and a low-key personality. He is suspected to be a descendant of Chao Yuanfang, the former imperial physician of the Sui Dynasty."
Li Xuan handed the paper in his hand to Yu Ze and said doubtfully: "It didn't say why they suspected that the Guo family was the descendant of Chao Yuanfang, but with the reputation of the Meng family, they shouldn't be here. I was perfunctory about the matter."
"They must have something else in their hands, but this requires the prince to go to Xuanchang Tower in person to understand." Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that there is someone in Yangzhou, the prince." You’re playing tricks like this in front of me.”
"Who knows, maybe they have other thoughts." Li Xuan looked out of the car and said with emotion: "How could it be such a coincidence that the child we met yesterday turned out to be Chao Yuanfang? My great-grandson, nothing is more wonderful than this."
"Chao Yuanfang is proficient in the study of causes, pathogenesis, and syndromes, but there are no records of disease treatment methods since the war in the late Sui Dynasty." Yu Ze really appreciated Li Xuan's high regard for Chao Yuanfang. Puzzled.
"It is recorded in the palace secret book that during the reign of Emperor Yangdi, the chief steward Ma Shumou suffered from wind reversal syndrome. He had joint pain all over his body, could not move, and was bedridden all day long. Emperor Yangdi ordered Chao Yuanfang to give treatment. After diagnosis, Chao believed that the disease was caused by It was caused by rheumatism invading the joints. So he steamed the tender sheep, mixed it with medicinal powder and gave it to Ma Shumou. Ma Shumou ate half of the sheep in total, and the long-standing rheumatism was cured." Li Xuan's face has turned serious,
This kind of treatment may seem miraculous nowadays, but Li Xuan knew that mutton itself has the effect of warming meridians, dredging meridians, dispersing cold and relieving pain.
Eating a certain amount of mutton in moderation has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis.
Of course, this is just an auxiliary effect.
What really worked was the medicinal powder used by Chao Yuanfang.
"A person who can see through the pathology must be able to see through the pharmacology. Treating diseases through pharmacology will get twice the result with half the effort, and the disease will be cured by the medicine." At this point, Li Xuan's voice dropped.
Chao Yuanfang's research direction is now naturally and unnaturally for Li Xuan to follow this path.
If Chao Yuanfang's remaining suicide note can be obtained, it is one thing whether Li Zhi's wind disease can be cured or not, but it will definitely improve Li Xuan's medical skills. This alone will enable him to do more in the future. Three points to win.
Why do doctors in the world live longer than ordinary people? In addition to having a deep understanding of medicine and pharmacology, the key point is that their own skills are not weak.
Coupled with the various medicinal powders carried with him, even the most sinister people would have to pay a huge price to kill them.
"Xuanchang Tower was built by Shen Yue of the Southern Liang Dynasty when he was the prefect of Jiankang. After the completion, Shen Yue went to the tower many times to compose poems. Four of them are the most famous. They are masterpieces in the literary world of the Southern Liang Dynasty and are said to be his last songs." Yu Ze recounted softly. The origin of Xuanchang Tower.
"The Wuzhou Shen family is from the Wuxing Shen family, and the Yangzhou Shen family is also from the Wuxing Shen family. The Shen family of the sixteen famous families in Jiangzuo has family inheritance all over Jiangzuo. They are the real rulers of Jiangzuo." Li Xuan's face He showed an extremely dignified look.
Regardless of whether the Tang Dynasty or the former Sui Dynasty unified the country, their rule over the south was actually far weaker than that of the north.
After years of war, although the ruling classes in the north and south have been constantly changing, the clans and landlords at the bottom have not changed much.
Over the years, aristocratic families have been marrying and communicating with each other, and have long formed a dense network of relationships that covers the entire Jiangnan.
It would be extremely difficult for the imperial court, or rather the northern gentry, to tear open this net and infiltrate it, and they might even give up directly.
In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's tax collection in the south of the Yangtze River was almost three times that in the north. One household had to pay the taxes of three households.
Because of this, Yang Guang finally died in Jiangdu, which he missed most.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the proportion of taxes levied on Jiangnan has been much lighter than that of the previous Sui Dynasty, but compared with the north, it is still much heavier.
This was also an important reason why Chen Shuozhen launched an army that year. The taxes levied by the court were already very heavy, and coupled with the harshness of the officials, when there was a disaster, there would immediately be a war.
Although Beimaoshan was involved in Chen Shuozhen's revolt,
But this may not be because there is no support from the Jiangnan family.
The reason why the imperial court did not deal with Beimaoshan after the incident was because their involvement was indeed very light. On the other hand, the Jiangnan aristocratic families also played a role in this. The biggest enemies of the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan were still these aristocratic families. .
The Jiangnan aristocratic families centered on Huzhou, Hangzhou and Yuezhou, even the most prosperous Yangzhou, are just branches of these three Wu aristocratic families.
What role are they playing in this new wave of trends?
Most of the bright moon hangs high in the night sky, the clear moonlight falls on the barrier lake, and the water mist rises, like a dream.
Xuanchang Tower was built on the bank of Zhan Lake. It originally had layers of pavilions, green tiles and red roofs, and when seen up close, it looked extremely luxurious with carved dragons and painted phoenixes.
Carriages were passing by in the surrounding streets, making gentle noises.
The black-framed carriage stopped in front of Xuanchang Tower. Li Xuan had just gotten off the horse. A young man wearing a blue robe, an elegant face, and a gray hat immediately came up to him, and said with an apologetic expression: " Qingran has met the prince of Nanchang County, but he never expected that the prince would come in person. He was not well prepared. Qingran feels ashamed and hopes that the prince will forgive you."
"It doesn't matter, the Meng family has already helped a lot." Li Xuan smiled gently, looked at the flickering figures on the third floor and said, "Let's go in and introduce the talented people in Yangzhou. Although I may not be there next spring, In Chang'an, if there are talents, I will recommend them to Your Majesty."
Now Li Xuan, as a Wuzhou official, has the right and obligation to recommend talented people.
Although Li Xuan's voice was not high, it was clearly heard by several people on the third floor.
"Your Majesty, please!" Meng Qingran immediately moved out of the way and asked Li Xuan to go upstairs. Following Li Xuan, Meng Qingran's eyes were filled with fire.
Although the Meng family has a lot of influence in Huainan Road and Shannan Road, there are too few places where they can focus their efforts in Luoyang and Chang'an.
The most indispensable thing in the Tang Dynasty is the aristocratic families. In addition to the top aristocratic families, there are also hundreds of aristocratic families of various sizes.
In addition, there are the meritorious service of military generals, relatives in the court, official families, and countless poor families.
Every year, hundreds or even thousands of people take part in an imperial examination at the same time, and less than one-tenth of the candidates succeed.
Family background, fame, talent, and fierce competition can be imagined.
Although the Meng family has a strong family background in places such as Yangzhou and Xiangyang, when it comes to Luoyang and Chang'an, their abilities are still too weak.
The family has less power to use on each person. If you can know in advance who can help you, it will not only be convenient for you, but also greatly reduce the pressure on your family. Improve your ranking after winning the title.
Qing Ran, where does Qing Ran come from?
It’s difficult for you and Meng Haoran to come from the same clan.
Xuanchang Building occupies a small area, but it is luxurious and exquisite, with carved beams and painted columns, and extra attention to detail, which shows the charm of Jiangnan.
Meng Qingran led Li Xuan and Yu Ze straight to the third floor. On the third floor, several officials and officials wearing various colored silk clothes were waiting, including even children.
There was one person at the head, a man in his forties, dressed in a green robe, with a heroic figure, calm and capable, a dignified demeanor, bright eyes, and a calm expression. When he saw Li Xuan coming upstairs, he immediately led the crowd and said, "I have seen the Prince of Nanchang."
"Li Xuan has met you all!" Li Xuan returned the greeting to everyone present seriously, respectfully, modestly, and gracefully.
"Your Majesty, please introduce Rong Xiaosheng. This is Brother Lu, Lu Xizhong, Sima of Yangzhou Governor's Office." Meng Qingran whispered slightly, and some of the pride he had before completely disappeared without a trace in front of the person in front of him.
"Sima of Yangzhou Governor's Office?" Li Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked subconsciously: "Brother Lu is not from Yangzhou?"
Lu Xizhong cupped his hands and replied: "I am from Wu County, Wu County. I was a Jinshi in the third year of Xianqing. Two years ago, I was transferred to the Sima of Yangzhou Governor's Office."
The governor of Yangzhou is concurrently served by the chief of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, but the Yangzhou Governor's Office and the Yangzhou Governor's Office are two separate groups. Chinese website
Although many people in the Yangzhou Governor's Office also serve in the Governor's Office, they all tend to serve in a fictitious manner. Only officials who serve as officials in the Yangzhou Governor's Office are real officials.
This Yangzhou Sima, who is from the fifth rank, is probably the person responsible for the most practical matters in the entire Yangzhou City.
Li Xuan glanced sideways at Meng Qingran. The Meng family was able to find Chao Yuanfang's descendants downstairs so quickly, and Lu Xizhong had a great contribution.
Wait, Mr. Lu from Wu County.
Compared to these aristocratic families in Yangzhou, the Lu family in Wu County was the real behemoth in the entire Jiangnan.
Li Xuan frowned, stopped for a moment, and looked at Lu Xizhong: "I wonder what you call Brother Lu and Mr. Lu, the former scholar of the Chongwen Hall?"
"That's my uncle." Lu Xizhong saluted seriously: "Lu Yuanfang of Wu County has met the Prince of Nanchang County."
