Chapter 29: Asthma Prescriptions
Li Hao's fried chicken restaurant in Chang'an was closed for five days, renovated and rectified, and finally opened again on the sixth day, on the first day of reopening, Li Hao decided to sit in person to prevent anyone from making trouble, in fact, he was afraid that the bastard father and son of the Cheng family would come to take revenge, although he was quite afraid of Cheng biting gold, but it was important to make money.
He sat in the store for three days, and no one came to provoke and make trouble, Li Hao was relieved, as soon as he was relieved, he was lazy, and he was ready to sit on guard for another day, if the Cheng family did not come to take revenge on the fourth day, then he would go home and continue to be lazy.
On the morning of the fourth day, a noble man suddenly came to Li Hao's shop, this person came from the palace, called Xu Lian, is a eunuch, this is not an ordinary eunuch, it is Li Shimin's personal eunuch, responsible for taking care of Li Shimin's daily life, and at the same time, he also serves as the chief eunuch of Taiji Palace, and leads all the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem.
Xu Lian's arrival scared the guests away, Li Hao hurriedly invited Xu Lian to the inner room to sit down, and then sent someone to serve tea, this is not the tea of the Tang Dynasty, it is Li Hao's homemade fried tea.
It was the first time Xu Lian had drunk such tea, so he took a sip first, couldn't help frowning, and looked up at Li Hao: "Li Hao, are you tea?" ”
"Yes, this is roasted tea, and it can be drunk by brewing it with boiling water, which is very convenient." Li Hao explained with a smile, and then asked, "What does Grandpa Xu think of the taste?" ”
"Bitter." Xu Lian replied with a bitter face.
Li Hao smiled: "This tea is indeed slightly bitter when you first drink it, but the fragrance is tangy, and after a while, you find that the mouth is slightly sweet, and the aftertaste is endless. ”
Xu Lian sighed, he did feel a fragrant taste, but he couldn't taste the sweet taste, since this was the case, he didn't delve into it, after all, he didn't come to taste tea, put down the teacup and said slowly: "No need, our family is here by the emperor's order this time." ”
Li Hao hurriedly knelt down: "Li Hao listens to His Majesty's teachings. ”
Gonggong Xu didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable about etiquette, not at all like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Our family has received His Majesty's will and come to do two things, the first is to reward you." ”
Li Hao hurriedly said: "The kid is ashamed, he has been lazy at home for the past few months, and he has not made an inch, so he doesn't dare to ask for a reward. ”
Gonggong Xu explained: "Your Majesty commends you because the method of planting cowpox has been confirmed to be able to resist smallpox, and Your Majesty has decided to let all the people of the Tang Dynasty be vaccinated with cowpox within two years, and at the same time spread the prescription for treating plague to every hospital in Datang, so that Datang will never have a plague. ”
Here it is again, here it is again, this Li Shimin is really idle and painful, he always tests himself like this, is it interesting! Interesting!
Li Hao smiled and said: "My father-in-law told Your Majesty, thank you for Your Majesty's Sacred Heart, but Your Majesty has already rewarded me last time, how dare I have any extravagant hopes, the previous reward is enough." ”
Gonggong Xu smiled and nodded, very satisfied with his answer, and continued: "Since this is the case, then our family will talk about the second thing that His Majesty has appointed our family to do, that is, to bring more than a dozen catties of your special chicken wishbones back to the queen mother to eat." ”
"The Queen?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then exclaimed, "That's not good, absolutely not!" ”
Gonggong Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then glared and shouted angrily: "Li Hao, you dare to resist the decree!" ”
Li Hao shook his hands and hurriedly explained: "It's not that I want to resist the decree, you can bring as much chicken wishbone as you want, but don't give it to the queen." ”
Xu Gonggong was shocked when he heard this: "Why is this?" ”
Li Hao said: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, is the queen mother suffering from qi disease?" ”
"Yes." Gonggong Xu nodded, this matter is not a secret in the court, but it makes him a little surprised that the common people actually know.
"That's right." Li Hao said, "People suffering from qi diseases must avoid greasy food, otherwise it will aggravate the condition." ”
"Ahh Gonggong Xu was shocked when he heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and asked suspiciously, "How did you know?" Could it be that you have a prescription for qi diseases? ”
Li Hao's heart moved, when he copied the medical information, he really copied a prescription for treating asthma, which was particularly effective, hey, he could make meritorious contributions again, and hurriedly said: "My father-in-law is really wise, I do have a prescription for treating qi diseases." ”
Father-in-law Xu actually just said casually, but he didn't expect Li Hao to really have a prescription for treating qi diseases, and said excitedly: "Quick, show our family." ”
"Yes." Li Hao hurriedly took pen and paper and began to write the recipe.
He wrote a total of two prescriptions, one is a prescription for medicine, and the other is a prescription for recuperation, which states the taboos of asthma patients in terms of diet and life.
Father-in-law Xu didn't understand medicine, but he could understand the prescriptions for recuperation, and felt that what Li Hao wrote was quite reasonable, so he couldn't help but believe it even more, and asked happily: "Li Hao, you tell our family honestly, these two prescriptions can really cure Niangniang's qi disease?" ”
Li Hao said calmly: "It is impossible to be completely cured, but as long as you take the medicine on time and according to the prescription, you can suppress the qi disease and prevent the disease from attacking, if it takes a long time, you can reduce the symptoms, or even stop attacking, as long as the medicine does not stop, it is not difficult to live to the same age as a normal person." ”
"Is that true?" Gonggong Xu was so excited that he trembled all over, and his hand grasping Fang Zi seemed to be sifting chaff.
Li Hao nodded solemnly: "Naturally, it is serious, but I don't know how serious the queen's condition is, if she is already bedridden and terminally ill, then this recipe will at most extend her life." ”
"No, no." Father-in-law Xu hurriedly shook his head, "Although Niangniang has had frequent qi attacks recently, she has not yet reached the point of being bedridden. ”
Li Hao nodded and said, "Then as long as you take the medicine as prescribed, Niangniang will be saved." ”
"Great!" Gonggong Xu got up excitedly and ran out, muttering as he ran, "Our family will send the recipe to Your Majesty." ”
Li Hao reminded loudly in the back: "Father-in-law, don't you want the chicken wishbone?" Bring a few catties back to the emperor to taste! ”
"Don't, it's enough to have a recipe!"
In the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was discussing things with Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji, Xu Qian suddenly ran in in a hurry, and knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door, holding the prescription in his hand and shouting excitedly: "Your Majesty, happy event!" Great joy! ”
Li Shimin saw that Xu Qian, who had always been old and serious, was so excited, and couldn't help asking: "Where does the joy come from?" ”
Xu Qian's voice trembled with excitement: "The old slave went to Li Hao's shop to find him at the behest of His Majesty, Li Hao heard that the queen mother had a qi disease, and gave the old slave a prescription, saying that it could cure the queen mother's qi disease." ”
Li Shimin's tiger body was shocked, and he suddenly shouted excitedly: "Quick! Bring it to me! ”
Xu Qian got up, held the prescription high above his head, stepped on small steps to Li Shimin's side, and gave Li Shimin both prescriptions.
Li Shimin couldn't wait to look at the two prescriptions, he could only understand the prescription for recuperation, and he was not sure of the medicinal properties of the prescription, so he turned his head and asked Xu Qian: "Li Hao really said that this prescription can cure the eldest grandson queen?" ”
Xu Qian told Li Hao's original words to Li Shimin.
After hearing this, Li Shimin said excitedly: "Okay, very good, great, hahaha......"
The eldest grandson Wuji on the side suddenly came out of the line to salute at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" ”
"Speak!" Li Shimin said happily.
The eldest grandson Wuji said slowly: "Li Hao previously offered a prescription for the treatment of plague, which was quite effective, and also offered a method to resist smallpox cowpox, which is also feasible, the old minister should not suspect him, but the queen's daughter's body, can not be easily involved, after all, this prescription is from the people, not from the Tai Hospital, before Your Majesty practices medicine, should you let the Tai Hospital distinguish one or two?" ”
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and felt that what he said was still reasonable, besides, the eldest grandson Wuji was the elder brother of the eldest grandson queen, and what he said was naturally for the sake of the eldest grandson queen, almost habitually, Li Shimin asked: "Xuan Ling, what do you mean?" ”
Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." ”
Li Shimin nodded, handed the two prescriptions to Xu Qian, and said, "Immediately send the prescription to the Tai Hospital, see if this prescription is feasible, and order him to come to the Ganlu Hall in person before noon tomorrow to report the results to me." ”
"Yes!" Xu Qian took the order to retreat and went to send Fangzi.
Li Hao's two prescriptions caused an uproar in Tai Hospital, and when the Tai Hospital heard that it was Li Hao's prescription for the treatment of qi diseases, he was shocked, and hurriedly summoned more than 30 old doctors to study these two prescriptions, which was extremely cautious.
The doctors in the Tai Hospital are indeed all highly skilled, if they go out to open a medical hall, it is estimated that most of them can be called miracle doctors, but it is different to be a Tai doctor.
Because the imperial doctor is for the royal people, they will choose a safe way to do anything with acupuncture and medicine, even if it is only one in a thousand dangers, they do not dare to try it easily, because they are afraid of losing their heads.
This is a very helpless thing, if you can't cure the disease, at most you will not be good at medicine, and the most serious punishment is to be kicked out of the hospital.
However, once a person is killed, it is different, that is, quack doctors harm people, if it is the emperor's favorite concubine or prince or something, it is estimated that it is possible to destroy the family.
And the recipe in front of him is for Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun is a collection of thousands of emperors' favors, and she is also the mother of a country.
There is a good saying, medicine is three parts poison, and there are a few prescriptions in this world that can stand up to scrutiny, and there are a large number of old ladies who are nitpicking here.
In the end, all the opinions of the imperial doctors were summarized, and it was concluded that the dosage of Houttuynia cordata and bitter almond was too heavy, because these two herbs were accompanied by certain toxicity.
Tai Hospital was taking this summary report to meet Li Shimin in the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin frowned, he didn't know who to believe, on the one hand, he was a young hero who had sacrificed medicine to fight tens of millions of people, and on the other hand, it was known as the Tai Hospital, which brought together the most elite doctors in the world, so it was difficult to choose.
Li Shimin did not choose phobia, he finally made a choice, decided to trust the judgment of the Tai Hospital, reduced the dose of Houttuynia cordata and bitter almond to one-third of the original, and then used this prescription to boil the medicine for the Empress Changsun to take, as for the prescription for recuperation, the Tai Hospital did not raise any objections.
