Chapter 38 Behind the Iron Gate
Developments in medicine can change history.
Not to mention others, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Prince, Mu Ying, and a few others. Which one can live a long and healthy life? If we had a long life, the situation in Ming Dynasty would not be like this.
But medical improvement requires professionals. He Xi had so many things at hand, it was impossible to be distracted by this. Now Dai Yuanli is enough to make up for this space.
Before the child settles down.
Everyone dispersed. After all, everyone has a lot of things to do.
Early the next morning, as soon as Dai Yuanli got up, someone came to report: "Princess Anqing's consort, Secretary of the Imperial Academy, and Secretary Mr. He Xihe are here to visit."
Dai Yuanli immediately opened the door to welcome guests.
The two exchanged a few words and sat down.
He Xi said: "I haven't congratulated Mr. Dai on his new appointment as Imperial Hospital envoy."
Dai Yuanli said: "Thank you Lord He. In fact, Dai is just a doctor. He is still a little confident in practicing medicine. But when he becomes the envoy of the imperial hospital, he doesn't know what to do. In fact, if Lord He doesn't come, I also want to refuse. .”
"Please Sir He, please clarify this intention to the Holy One on my behalf."
He Xi listened to Dai Yuanli's words and looked at Dai Yuanli's face, knowing that he was sincere. There was some sigh in my heart. Zhu Danxi was a famous master of his generation and had many disciples. When Zhu Danxi died, Dai Yuanli was only in his early twenties. Although he was personally trained by Zhu Danxi, the training time was not long. But in the end Dai Yuanli stood out and became Zhu Danxi's most outstanding disciple. Later generations of doctors rated Dai Yuanli as not inferior to him.
It seems there is a reason. At least he concentrates on medical skills and doesn't like mundane tasks, which is one of his advantages.
He Xi said: "Mr. Dai, I understand Mr. Dai's heart. In fact, I don't have Mr. Dai's heart. It would be better if I don't distract myself from ordinary affairs and concentrate on learning. But, Mr. Dai, you should also know, We cannot escape from all the things in this world.”
"And as one of the world's famous doctors, shouldn't Mr. Dai bear responsibility for the medical profession?"
When Dai Yuanli heard this, his heart moved, thinking of something that happened when he just arrived in Nanjing.
Dai Yuanli was obsessed with medical skills. The first thing he did when he came to Nanjing was to visit major medical clinics in Nanjing when he had time. I saw a doctor saying to the patient: "Don't forget to add a piece of tin when boiling the medicine." After Dai Yuanli returned, he was puzzled and felt that he couldn't understand all the prescriptions in the world. Maybe there were some weird medicines that he didn't know about. But other than that, he had an impression, but he really couldn't remember any medicine that needed to be tinned.
Later I came to inquire. Only then did I realize that it was an ancient recipe that needed to be added. The doctor got the word wrong.
The glutinous rice is fried into sugar.
This matter repeatedly lingered in Dai Yuanli's heart. In fact, this is also the common expectation of many famous doctors. Because although there are many famous doctors in the world, there are even more quacks. Every famous doctor has the idea of revising prescriptions and revising pharmacopoeia.
He Xi continued: "Mr. Dai, would you like to go to a place with me?"
Dai Yuanli said, "Please."
He Xi and Dai Yuanli went out and got into the carriage. After a while, it stopped. Dai Yuanli got out of the car and immediately frowned. There is no other reason. This is the Jinyiwei Envoy Yamen. Even now, Jin Yiwei can still make children stop crying.
Dai Yuanli acted honestly and was shocked at this moment. He didn't know what he was doing at Jinyiwei Yamen at this time.
Mao Xiang has been waiting here for a long time. Seeing He Xi coming, he quickly walked a few steps and came to He Xi. Said: "Master He, you are here."
He Xi said: "Commander, the arrangements have been made."
Mao Xiang said: "It has been arranged."
He Xi turned around and said to Dai Yuanli, "Mr. Dai, please come this way."
Dai Yuanli's palms were sweating slightly at this moment, but he knew that he couldn't refuse, so he could only follow He Xi's arrangement and go deep into Jinyiwei. I don't know why, but the further we walked, the colder the atmosphere became, and the further we walked, the more guards there were.
Finally we came to a large stone house.
Dai Yuanli felt a little strange.
After all, most of the buildings in ancient China were civil structures, and buildings made of pure stone were very strange.
Jin Yiwei pushed open the big iron door. A chill hit my face. He Xi took Dai Yuanli and walked in, but Mao Xiang stopped going in. After they entered, they closed the big iron door heavily. The room suddenly became dark, and the sunlight filtered through the small window and pulled out a long beam of light.
He Xi brought Dai Yuanli to the first room. He Xi said: "Mr. Dai, if you can't accept the things in this room, don't look at the things in the following areas."
Then He Xi lit the candles and opened a picture.
When Dai Yuanli saw it, he was shocked and said: "This-----"
He Xi opened a human anatomy diagram. This anatomy diagram was actually copied from a computer. Then enlarge it proportionally. He and Princess Anqing spent a lot of effort to come up with this. It is also Princess Anqing who also knows some painting. He Xi used a scale to mark all the acupuncture points and blood vessels on the anatomical diagram. Princess Anqing then filled in the picture little by little.
Of course, there are some differences from the original anatomy diagram. But it's much better than the anatomy diagrams of this era.
In fact, in Chinese medicine, there were also anatomical diagrams, but some of them were too abstract.
Dai Yuanli was fascinated by such a clear anatomy diagram at a glance. He gestured with his hands on the diagram, not daring to touch the anatomical diagram for fear of smearing it. But I couldn't help but compare the position of the anatomy diagram with the position on my own body, and at the same time, with the patients I had treated.
Suddenly many mysteries were solved. At the same time, many doubts arose in my heart.
Then Dai Yuanli moved aside, and He Xi opened another secondary scroll. This is not what He Xi painted. It was painted by the painters in Jinyiwei. Although they tried their best to imitate the style of He Xi's painting, they were somewhat different.
Dai Yuanli could see the difference in style at a glance.
However, what surprised Dai Yuanli even more. It read: "Anatomical diagram of death row prisoner So-and-so."
Dai Yuanli was stunned and said, "Is this an anatomy diagram?"
He Xi said: "Yes."
Dai Yuanli said: "That's not what I'm talking about, but that this was dissected from a death row prisoner?"
He Xi said: "You think it's ------"
Dai Yuanli said: "I thought it was passed down from the palace."
Ancient Chinese medicine did not lack anatomical diagrams. For example, Ou Xifan's anatomical diagrams from the Song Dynasty are very famous. Therefore, Dai Yuanli thought that this was passed down.
He Xi said: "Are you just saying it's useful?"
Dai Yuanli said: "Of course it is useful. If I had seen these pictures earlier, I could have saved at least five patients. It's just a pity----"
He Xi said: "Since it is useful, then go for anatomy. You just want to ask for the atlas of the ancients, but you have not thought about whether there are any mistakes or errors in the anatomy diagrams of the ancients that have been passed down to this day. From the perspective of samples alone, People are different. Just a few maps cannot represent the mysteries of the human body at all. Only a large number of dissections can advance the development of medicine."
Dai Yuanli said: "But-----"
He Xi said: "But damaging people's corpses is too harmful to one's morality."
Dai Yuanli nodded, revealing his tangled state of mind.
Dai Yuanli wanted such an anatomy diagram very much. But Dai Yuanli couldn't turn this corner in his heart. After all, Dai Yuanli was also a Confucian scholar at heart. From his name, it can be seen that he is absolutely unwilling to do anything to damage other people's corpses.
He Xi said: "These people being dissected are all death row prisoners. After execution, if no one claims the body, it will be brought here for dissection. After dissection, it will be re-sutured and a good coffin will be sent to the burial." Together, there is a constant incense of the royal guards. You have to know that their posthumous treatment is not something they can enjoy. And on the basis of these anatomy diagrams, more people can be treated. This can be regarded as a A share of merit."
"How about this? Are these acceptable?"
"If you can accept it, I will take you to the next world. If you can't accept it, then you can only stop here. And you can't tell any outsiders about the things here."
