Chapter Seventy-Three: Teach Me Immortal Techniques Skillful Hands to Cure Stubborn Diseases
The crane sings and the clouds walk the stream, the spring and autumn are full of fragrant flowers, and the sun and moon shine in the sleeves.
In the legend of the fairyland on earth, the elixir was collected and returned from the world, but no one knew who he was!
Dahantai Hospital, close to the east side of Weiyang Palace, most of the offerings in it are white-haired old men. Of course, there are also young acolytes and walking boys, but they have no chance to get a glimpse of the sacred temple of medicine.
Since Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, knew all the world's best medicines to save people, and the people of Li inherited its blessings, the famous doctors of the past dynasties were worshiped by the world, and the Han Dynasty was no exception.
Since Gaozu Liu Bang pacified the four seas and built Weiyang Palace, Tai Hospital began to exist as an important institution. The Han family collected famous doctors from all over the world, filled the Tai Hospital, and paid generous treatment to prepare for illness.
As the highest medical institution in the Great Han Domain, some of the old worshippers in the Tai Hospital are still very skillful, and they have also solved many incurable diseases and diseases.
However, in the past six months or so, Empress Dowager Dou's eye disease has become increasingly serious, until today she is no longer able to see. And the Tai Hospital has been helpless, which can't help but make these old worshippers worry and be ashamed.
But today, they are all going to witness a miracle collectively.
The news has been circulating since yesterday, and some people say that it can cure Empress Dowager Dou's eye disease and let her see again!
The first thought that these people in the hospital had when they heard the news was: This is a rumor! A more accurate source of information will be available later, confirming the truth of this matter.
Then they thought that person must be a charlatan! And that's what everyone thinks.
Because no one knows better than these old worshippers that Empress Dowager Dou's eyes are hopeless. It is a stubborn disease, which is very common among the elderly people, with eye impairment and no medical treatment! In the thousands of years before the Han Dynasty, there was never anyone who could cure this disease, and the pharmacopoeia did not record it, unless it was the art of immortal ignition.
At ten o'clock yesterday afternoon, Father-in-law Xiu, who was next to the Empress Dowager Dou, came to the hospital with a child, saying that he wanted to borrow something to use to prepare for the Empress Dowager Dou's eyes. This convinced everyone that the news was true!
A few white-haired worshippers came around, looking excited, asking Father-in-law Xiu not to listen to ignorant words! If anything goes wrong, the Empress Dowager's holy body is ill, and it will be too late to regret it!
Xiuyu said with a straight face, the Empress Dowager has been blind for so long, do you have any good solutions? What's more, this is her old man's personal decision. Now, this is the little miracle doctor who wants to heal the Empress Dowager.
Xiuyu pointed at Yuan Zhao, who raised his head and smiled at everyone. A lot of people were shocked! What the? What the! Let such a young child treat the Empress Dowager's eye disease? This...... It's ridiculous!
Yuan Zhao ignored their dissatisfaction and protests. Go straight to the herb room, find the few herbs you need, and start to prepare a numbing medicine according to the dosage.
Empress Dowager Dou is an old man after all, so although he is very sure, he does not dare to be careless. To prepare a suitable dose of anesthetic, but also to prepare two sharp scalpels, some of the afternoon is busy! Fortunately, there is a good helper who is staring at himself without blinking, no need to be in vain!
"Uh, that old fish, help me sharpen this knife to a thin and sharp point, the thinner the better." Xiuyu, the chief manager of the Changle Palace, rolled his eyes and went to the side to sharpen his knife.
For the treatment of Empress Dowager Dou's eye disease, this was a complete accident and was not in Yuan Zhao's plan.
On that day, after Yuan Zhao finished his speech, he offered a few things in the small wooden box one by one, and briefly explained the origin, and everyone in the hall was amazed.
They are all knowledgeable people, and the value of these novelties is naturally known to several ministers. Looking at Yuan Zhao again, his eyes became different. Even Tian Jue and Zhang Tang temporarily forgot about the previous conspiracy and were attracted by these things.
After listening to the description of those things by Xiuyu around her, the waves in her heart were irrepressible. She has been hiding behind that throne for many years, and she is no less than anyone else in managing the government, and she knows what these things mean for the development of the world.
She excitedly ordered the chamberlain to bring a few pieces closer, and although she couldn't see them, she gently stroked them with her hand. Yuan Zhao found out that Empress Dowager Dou's eyes turned out to be unable to see things.
"Isn't there something wrong with the Queen Mother's eyes, can't she see clearly?" Yuan Zhao secretly looked at it for a while, and saw an old lady trembling and touching the objects on the case one by one with an excited expression, but she couldn't see it, and she felt a little unbearable.
"Alas! Xiao Lang, these eyes have been suffering from illness for a long time, and they have recently become completely blind, and they can't see anything! ”
Empress Dowager Dou's words were bleak, the eldest princess Liu Piao'er and the people in the palace all lowered their heads, and there were even a few close officials with tears in their eyes, and they were concerned.
"Can you take a closer look? Well, I mean, let me see how your eyes are doing, and maybe there is a way to do it, so you might be able to do it. ”
What the?! As soon as he said this, the whole hall was shocked!
"Bold! Children are open-minded. The illness of the ancestors, the Tai Hospital has discussed it many times, and it is still helpless. You...... Know what? Before others could speak, Xiuyu had already scolded loudly.
The rest of the people also said that he didn't know the height of the sky, and it was mixed with Liu Piaoer's sharpness and meanness. In the midst of chaos, I suddenly heard a "bang", and Yu Ruyi knocked on the brocade case.
"Shut up! Xiaolang, you come closer. Empress Dowager Dou suppressed the waves in her heart, tried to stabilize her voice and said.
Yuan Zhao put down the corners of his robe, climbed the golden steps, and came to the Empress Dowager Dou, without looking at the black face of Bian Xiu's father-in-law, and looked at the open eyes of the Empress Dowager Dou, and there was a conclusion in his heart.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, this eye disease of yours is exactly what the kid once saw someone heal, and it should be curable."
Before the words landed, Empress Dowager Dou's hands trembled, and Yu Ruyi had already fallen to her feet, looking in a trance, like joy and ......sadness.
In this world, there are always many things that people thought were impossible that turned out to be possible. There will always be many things that you never thought of happening in front of your eyes.
Three days later, Empress Dowager Dou sat peacefully on the soft couch, her eyes were still covered with white silk cloth, but the joy on her face could not be hidden.
Even if a person is open-minded, in the face of the pain of his own illness, the plainness and heartfelt liking are not the same.
Liu Che, the Son of Heaven, sat on the side and glanced at Yuan Zhao, who was standing not far in front of him. At this moment, he was carefully disinfecting a soft cotton cloth with salt water in the jade basin carried by the palace maid.
This kid is so bold! dared to move a knife in the eyes of the Queen Mother. Thinking of the scene three days ago, Liu Che still felt a little emotional.
That was the first time he saw this child, in this Empress Dowager Dou's bedroom. In front of him, the emperor who reigned over the world, he held the knife with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, and completed what he called "surgery" for the Empress Dowager Dou.
A thin layer of white film was gently peeled off by Yuan Zhao, and the tip of the knife was picked up and placed on the tray, and the emperor, empress, Mrs. Wei, eldest princess and other close people around him all held their breath, lest they be disturbed for half a minute.
The two old worshippers of the Tai Hospital, who were allowed to come to see it, stared at each other without blinking the whole time, and their mouths were so surprised that they could stuff a goose egg, and they forgot to close it.
Yuan Zhao moved quickly, after taking out the barrier membrane, before the strength of the anesthetic disappeared, he applied a little heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory medicine to the eyes of the Empress Dowager Dou, and then bandaged them. That's it, you're done!
The two old worshippers of the Tai Hospital walked away with the tray containing two thin pieces of cataract membranes, like holding holy relics. They used their eyes and brains to write down everything Yuan Zhao had done, and they were going to go back and study it carefully. Before leaving, the white-haired old man actually gave Yuan Zhao a big gift to express their respect for the divine doctor's divine skills.
And today, three days later, it is time to verify success or failure. It's still those people, it's still that nervous, excited, and worried .......
Empress Dowager Dou felt that the gauze on her eyes was gently removed. The surroundings were quiet, and a shadow was carefully wiped in front of him with a soft cloth to remove the applied medicine, which was very cool and comfortable.
After a while, a voice sounded: "Okay, the Queen Mother can open her eyes and take a look."
The world in front of me began to be a little hazy, then gradually became clearer. Empress Dowager Dou blinked a few times, got used to it, and the first thing that caught her eye was a slightly smiling face, with a little childishness, green clothes and black hair, standing in front of her.
When dreams become reality, the world comes back to view. This old man, who has experienced the ups and downs of the empire, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Excellent! You're good...... Really...... It is the auspiciousness of my great man. …… He didn't lie to me, he didn't lie to me, he sent you to ....... ”
Her words were very soft, and she couldn't hear what she was saying clearly, and the people next to her just thought that the Empress Dowager was too happy, so they were so excited.
Liu Che hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and asked in a hurry how the old ancestor felt? Can you see clearly?
Empress Dowager Dou smiled: "Che'er, I have seen it clearly." These eyes are as good as when they were young! ”
Everyone was excited and congratulated the Empress Dowager one after another. Empress Dowager Dou smiled and agreed one by one, and the atmosphere was very joyful.
The emperor immediately issued an order, Weiyang Palace was decorated with lights, and Chang'an City celebrated for three days to celebrate the Queen Mother's return to Qingming!
All of a sudden, inside and outside the palace, there were jubilant voices.
Empress Dowager Dou's gaze crossed the congratulatory crowd and saw Yuan Zhao, who was packing up his things at the side of the case, and then walked towards the outside of the palace under the guidance of the inner attendant.
"Xiuyu, you go, tell the kid, don't leave the palace yet. Arrange a place for him to live. She glanced at the emperor, and Liu Che nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, although he is still young, he can't be an official. But since he had offered those few things that benefited the country before, and now he has made such a great contribution to the removal of hidden diseases for his ancestors, he should be rewarded. ”
"The emperor should not be in a hurry to award the reward, wait for a while, and then talk about it." Empress Dowager Dou's smile seemed to hide a lot of things.......
"And don't push the kid too hard, and don't stop him if he wants to go back and see. Well, give him the gold medal that can enter and leave the palace at any time. Xiuyu, you go and do it. ”
The Emperor nodded in agreement. Father-in-law Xiuyu took the order and turned away. While walking, I was secretly surprised in my heart, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were really in favor of Yuan Zhao!
The royal gold medal is given, and you can enter and leave the palace at will! No one has ever gotten this kind of treatment. Even the eldest princess, the only daughter of Empress Dowager Dou, can't do it.
However, Xiuyu was only happy for that kid in his heart. He actually healed the eyes of the old ancestor! This kindness alone is worth it even if it gives him great glory.
Xiuyu rushed to catch up with Yuan Zhao and conveyed the Empress Dowager's edict, thinking that he would be grateful to Dade, but this kid wrinkled a bitter face and said that he had really stayed enough in this unfree place! Now that everything that should be explained has been explained, and everything that should be offered has been offered, now I just want to go home and relax.
Xiuyu couldn't force him, remembered the words of the Empress Dowager Dou, handed him the gold medal, and repeated the words of the two supremes allowing him to enter the palace at any time. This time, Yuan Zhao was very happy, and turned over the gold medal and looked at it several times, wow! It's really made of pure gold! It must be worth a lot of money, right?
The old man patted him on the head again, can this thing be measured by money! That's the great trust of the two palaces in your kid, it's a great opportunity, go home and have fun!
Yuan Zhao smiled hippiely, held the gold medal in his arms, arched his hand, and said goodbye.
In front of the spiritual throne of Emperor Wen, the Empress Dowager Dou piously offered three incense sticks, everything today must be your blessing, right? The face that had been separated by yin and yang appeared in front of him, and he was grateful and silently recited in his heart.
The smoke and clouds are swirling, and some people smile gently, and once twisted the Bodhi finely. When they met shallowly, they bypassed the red dust and met at the right time, stroked between their fingers, and played the chords of sorrow and joy. Time has passed, you are in Huangquan, who turned his back on the Buddha? The joys and sorrows of obsessiveness, the ...... of the silent passing years!
