Chapter Twenty-Three: The Medicine King's Palace
The Jade Emperor view rises in the east and sets, accompanied by the study day and night, Kong Luoling's side, the pen and ink on the white books are gradually dyed.
Line after line of symptoms and descriptions gradually began to increase.
Countless military doctors like Kong Luoling joined them, and the understanding of the plague gradually took on a vein.
"Red and swollen into lumps, this is the characteristic of the pimple plague that occurred in Tongzhou last year. The mortality rate is relatively high, which is quite similar to the outbreak of big-head plague in the Wanli period. β
"There are different types of plagues...... Melon plague, probe plague, wool plague, these are all new plagues. Melon plague and probe plague should be different localized names for a plague in different regions. It should be a ...... for a disease."
"They spread so quickly that they vomited blood and died. The chance of death is extremely high. β
"The symptom of woolly plague is that the sick family has white hair like a sheep, which is a symptom of the plague that did not appear in the Wanli period, and it should be a new plague, but in my opinion, it appears together with the symptoms of the pimple plague of the seventh and nineteenth, and there may be a certain connection between the two, but the lack of more observations cannot be completely ......."
The Medicine King Hall of the Jade Emperor Temple has been newly converted into a command center for plague control.
The atmosphere in such a hall is heavy. The early morning sun did not dispel the heaviness inside, but seemed a little depressing.
"Therefore, the symptoms of big-headed plague are swollen head and neck, extremely contagious, extremely rapid onset, and extremely high mortality." The symptoms of "laryngeal paralysis" plague are vomiting blood and dying, it is extremely contagious, the onset is extremely rapid, and the mortality rate is extremely high. The symptoms of pimple plague are basically similar to those of the big head plague, and in terms of the speed of onset, it even exceeds the big head plague. Probe plague and melon plague are another type of plague, which is similar to the "throat paralysis" plague, and its symptoms are vomiting blood and dying, extremely contagious, extremely rapid onset, and extremely high mortality. In terms of the speed of onset, it is faster than the big-headed plague and the "throat paralysis" plague, and it is similar to the pimple plague. As for melon plague and pimple plague, the disease often dies in the morning and night. I think melon plague and pimple plague are the most serious of the plagues. The symptoms of wool plague are more obvious and unique, and the patients will grow white hair like sheep......"
It was Wu Youxing who spoke, that is, Wu Youke. The director of the Plague Pathology Laboratory of the Army Hospital, a contemporary famous doctor who joined the military hospital during the First World War of the Qing Dynasty.
There were also a number of other people on the list. Hu Bo, the head of the army hospital, the famous doctors Gong Juzhong, Li Zhongzi, and all the famous doctors whose names were not called by the imperial court, in addition, and all the official doctors of the army hospital, were listed. Of course, although formal doctors are very rare, they can only be regarded as juniors among the leaders of the Ming medical industry, and they don't even have a seat, so it's good to be able to audit.
The most important thing is that in addition to a leading official in the medical field, there is also a cadre of officials in the center. Including Shuntian Prefecture Yin Zhou Baifa, Daxing County Magistrate, as well as the Criminal Department, Soldiers and Horses Division and other large and small officials. Interestingly, they don't have seats either. The only one in uniform and with a seat was a young man.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Shuntianfu Yin Zhou Baifa broke his eggs for a while, Zhou Baifa took office as Shuntianfu Yin or followed the old system, as soon as he heard Zhu Cihong run out of the palace, he suddenly crowded into something, and now he took the suppression of Shuntianfu Yin to close the field for protection.
As for the officials of the Criminal Department, Daxing County and other yamen, it is also a general idea.
Everyone's heart was full of wails: "They all say that the white dragon fish is suited...... Why did His Majesty the Emperor run out of the palace? β
"Still in the epidemic area!"
"If His Majesty the Emperor falls into any plague, this city will be full of civil and military disasters......"
"Your Majesty is not a doctor, what are you doing when you come out of this scenery? It's hard for us, little shrimps..."
For this newly enthroned emperor, who is only less than seventeen years old, it is difficult for people to associate with that victory, and then tremble and receive orders respectfully......
Of course, the officials did not dare to say these words. At most, it's just an inner complaint. Rao is like this, but people with a heart have also grasped that the authority of the new emperor is not as stable as ordinary people imagined......
Not only did the officials have different thoughts, but also many famous doctors in the Beijing Division saw it, and they couldn't help but sigh heavily in their hearts.
Seeing Zhu Cihong listening carefully to Wu Youxing's narration, these famous doctors couldn't help but look at each other in private. All eyes are on the same meaning: "If this emperor is infected, all the doctors will not be able to escape." When the time comes, no one will dare to heal. β
Why?
Although medical ethics were noble in ancient times, there were often medical troubles for the powerful. Especially for the emperor to be the imperial doctor, it is even more trembling, many times although the emperor has good medical conditions, it is difficult to enjoy the highest level of medical care.
Just because too many family members of patients heard the patient's death, they immediately vented their anger on the doctor. If it is a small household, if you don't say that you don't want to make trouble, you can't make trouble even if you want to.
But high-ranking officials and eunuchs are different, a brand can be delivered to the yamen to easily put the doctor in prison.
If you treat the emperor, it will be even more bloody and dangerous. Not to mention that it is accompanied by conspiracies such as coups d'Γ©tat, it is said that normal healing is a solution that is risky but has a better cure. I had to swallow the medicine warmly, and if I couldn't cure it, I couldn't cure it, so I wanted to save my body.
Therefore, the local famous doctors in the corner who came by His Majesty the Emperor made up their minds not to resist or cooperate, so as not to be implicated.
At this time, the discussion in the temple continued. Wu Youxing briefly talked about the basic situation of the plague, and the discussion gradually entered the pathological part.
Li Zhongzi took the lead and said: "Brother Ke, how did the plague spread?" β
Wu Youke pondered for a moment and said, "I think so." The plague is an evil spirit. Evil qi invades from the mouth and nose, and stays between half of the surface and half of the inside as the membranous origin. This evil of the epidemic is within the human body, and the outside can be connected to the surface, and the inside can be inside. Among them, I summarized the nine passes...... That is, but the surface is not inside, the surface is not inside, the inside is not inside, the inside is inside, the inside is passed on, the surface is better than the inside, the inside is better than the table, the first table is inside, the inside is the inside and then the table, etc. β
Li Zhongzi pondered for a long time, and slowly bowed his head: "Reasonable." Although, from the perspective of ordinary medical theory, this is somewhat shocking and not the same as the old practice. But I think it's in line with what I've observed so far. β
Regarding Li Zhongzi's identification, Wu Youxing is very excited, and he also has some spirit when he speaks.
Li Zhongzi is a contemporary famous doctor, and the other father is a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Wanli, so Li Zhongzi received a good education since he was a child, and he was good at literature and the art of war when he was young. He carefully studied the works of famous medical experts, obtained the essence of them, repeatedly studied the medicinal properties of Chinese herbal medicines, and used them in clinical practice, and established his own medical theory in practice. It can be said that today's famous doctors, this time they were invited by the imperial court to fight the plague, and they were originally a little hesitant.
But Zhu Cihong understood the itch of these doctors, Zhu Cihong just easily mentioned that he was trying to build the world's medical system, so that this contemporary famous doctor seemed to bloom in the second spring again, and immediately decided to go north.
In Zhu Cihong's framework, it is necessary to complete the scientific evolution of traditional Chinese medicine. For most medical systems, it is too personal, too mysterious, and lacks a self-consistent, verifiable system theory.
For most traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, it is difficult to develop and grow because of the lack of a unified standard scale and the distance from the modern scientific system.
Therefore, what Zhu Cihong wants to do is to let the modern medical system be born in the system of traditional Chinese medicine, and make traditional Chinese medicine grow and even sharpen.
For a healer, who doesn't aspire to explore the heights of medicine?
Especially in the world planned by Zhu Cihong, it seems that the Chinese medicine system can be transcended to a higher level, which immediately made Li Zhongzi feel moved.
Of course, what is more critical is Zhu Cihong's light but extremely practical sentence: for this reason, the imperial court plans to allocate 200,000 taels to expand the army hospital in the first phase, and plan to invest 500,000 taels in the treatment of the plague. Similarly, these 500,000 taels are only the first phase of governance in the Jingshi region.
With the money and the preparation for the construction of the new medical system of the army hospital, Li Zhongzi could no longer resist his impulse, and quickly rushed to Beijing to join this war that was not favored by everyone in every way.
Compared with Li Zhongzi's fame and achievements in medical theory, Gong Juzhong, who has never spoken, seems much more relaxed. The word Gong Juzhong should be round, and the alias is like a virtual child. A native of Jinxi, Jiangxi. He is good at internal medicine, external medicine, gynecology and pediatrics. He is the author of "Phlegm Fire and Snow", also known as "Red Furnace Snow", four volumes, which discuss in detail the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. In addition, he is the author of four volumes of "The Definitive Book of Surgical Living", four volumes of "The Complete Book of Surgical Effects", "The Complete Book of Pediatric Departments", "The Complete Book of Female Departments", "The Pediatric Pox Medical Scope", and "The Book of Fushoudan".
Li Zhongzi's joining is relatively simpler. He is Zhu Cihong, who spent a lot of money, and hereby asks the magistrate to invite a famous doctor to enter the Beijing Division.
However, Gong Juzhong makes a lot of soy sauce here, he does not specialize in infectious diseases, but has some research on tuberculosis. Zhu Cihong recruited him very simply, one was the silver enough, and the other was the local prefect who came forward in person and gave him enough face. These two things are enough, Gong Juzhong is also dedicated to his work, this time he came, he was decent, he was not excited, and he was not afraid.
He was very interested in why His Majesty the Emperor insisted on coming to such a dangerous place, especially ...... You also have to get involved in what you don't specialize in.
You must know that no matter how powerful a character is, it is easy to be slapped in the face if he rashly participates in his unprofessional places.
Gong Juzhong knows that many Confucian scholars like to have a Confucian doctor, but in the eyes of most truly advanced medical scientists, these people are self-righteous rookies who have no experience, incomplete theoretical learning, and many errors and omissions. It is far-fetched to say that vassalage is elegant, and many people go to the room for magic.
Thinking of this, Gong Juzhong's expression became more subtle.
But instead, he became serious.
Zhu Cihong risked his life, no matter what, this shows that this is a responsible Ming Jun.
The conversation between Wu Youxing and Li Zhongzi continued, they analyzed the symptoms, analyzed the medical theory, and talked about the medicinal properties, and began to prescribe prescriptions.
"How do you come up with a prescription?" Li Zhongzi said.
"I prescribed a dose of Da Yuan drink: betel nut, magnolia, grass fruit, Zhimu, peony, skullcap, licorice seven flavor medicine. Betel nut can dissipate energy grinding, which is a product of soothing qi machine, which can remove evil spirits and cure Lingnan miasma; Magnolia bark is also a product of soothing qi and can break the knot of anger; The grass and fruit are strong and strong, and they can be scattered to get rid of the evil spirits. The three flavors of medicine work together to make the qi soothing and reach the nest, so that the evil qi can collapse and quickly leave the membrane. Fang Zhong also used Zhimu to nourish yin, and the evil nature of the warm epidemic was warm and hot, and it was easy to hurt the fluid. Heat hurts the blood, so add peony to harmonize the blood, add skullcap to clear the dryness and heat, and use licorice to reconcile the medicines. Although the medicine has seven flavors, it can regulate the qi machine and penetrate the membrane origin, so it is the main prescription for the treatment of the evil of the warm epidemic...... "Wu Youxing talked eloquently.
Everyone looked at Wu Youxing's chest, and they were all more excited.
Li Zhongzi said: "The evil of the warm epidemic can enter and exit from the membrane, and often see both the symptoms of the surface and the inside. So, how to crack? β
Wu Youxing thought about it for a while, and said: "Then reach the original drink and then add rhubarb, Qianghuo, kudzu, bupleurum, ginger, and jujube, and use this as a three-elimination drink." β
"If the evil of the epidemic has spread, it should be treated differently according to the location of the evil qi. If you see that the pulse is long and scattered, sweating and thirsty, and the body is hot, it means that the evil qi has left the membrane original, and the heat is diffuse, and its pathogenesis is consistent with the syndrome of typhoid fever and yang and mingqi, so it can still be dissolved with the white tiger soup ......"
Wu Youxuan talked eloquently, but Hu Bo quietly frowned. Sure enough, most of the army doctors also stared wide-eyed, obviously not much could understand.
Li Zhongzi took it, and he followed Wu Youxing's theory and said: "In this way, if the evil qi penetrates through the chest, and sees that the evil qi is full of stuffiness and disgusting, and wants to vomit but does not vomit, although it vomits but cannot vomit, the abdomen is dissatisfied, the desire to drink cannot drink, and the desire to eat cannot eat, then it means that the evil of the membrane has collapsed in the chest and the evil qi is on it?" β
"That's true......" Wu Youxing slowly bowed his head.
Li Zhongzi said again: "In this way, you can choose to use Guati to scatter the epidemic evil." β
"Good!" Wu Youxing laughed.
But after Wu Youxing finished laughing, he found that everyone was silent, looking at each other, and the rest of his eyes were glancing at Zhu Cihong in the corner.
Seeing this, Wu Youxing felt a sigh in his heart, didn't he be too showy and annoyed the emperor?
Just when Wu Youxing was thinking wildly, Zhu Cihong opened his mouth: "Mr. Ke's words can be described as inspiring." It's like two armies facing each other, they already know each other, and they can prescribe the right medicine and wait to crack it. Morale is up! β
Wu Youxing's heart was relieved, and he said: "Lai Wu Huang is very loving, and this is where the grass people can show." β
Zhu Cihong slowly pondered the vocabulary and said, "But I can't help but sigh. There are too few people in the world who can have such a great talent as Mr. Youke. This theory is mysterious. Mr. You can only, with the power of the famous masters of Beijing, with the learning of the imperial doctors. How many points can I get? β
When everyone heard Zhu Cihong's objection, they immediately fell silent. Not only the officials of the DPRK and China, but also the famous doctors of the Beijing Division are also blue-eyed.
Gong Ju Center Road: Is it difficult to ...... Is this young emperor really going to be disgraced?
This new emperor doesn't look like an easy person. (To be continued.) )
