When Yang Xianmao heard Sima Guang's words, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and bowed down and said: "Meet Lord Sima, it is really an honor for Xiao Ke to have the honor to meet Master Sima." ”

Sima Guang smiled and said, "You're welcome, you can see a doctor now, I see that you have a lot of patients, and you can't be busy, so I'll talk slowly when I'm free." ”

Yang Xianmao didn't say much, and after asking him about his current condition and diet and stool, he checked his pulse and looked at his tongue. Then he said, "Your illness has been cured by someone before the doctor, and you have used too many typhoid fever and dry medicines, so your tongue is dry like leather, and you must be regulated." Just use the stomach and Chengqi soup to stabilize the condition first and regulate yin and yang. Raise your own righteous qi, and then slowly drain the evil in your body. ”

At that moment, he turned around and said to Hua Wuxiang, who copied the prescription: "One or two Xuanshen, three coins of Tiandong, five coins of Danpi, three coins of sand ginseng, five coins of Maidong, three coins of honeysuckle, three coins of rhino horn, eight coins of turtle shell, and two coins of mulberry leaves." Take three patches a day, and come back for a follow-up visit tomorrow to see the effect. ”

After listening to Yang Xianmao's prescription, Doctor Fei nodded frequently and said, "It's really just right to listen to Brother Yang's prescription." With your ability, the name of my divine doctor should be given to you. ”

Yang Xianmao arched his hand and said: "Mr. said this, which made the students embarrassed." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xianmao said to Doctor Fei very solemnly: "If the doctor has the opportunity to see the official family, please report to the official family and say that the prevention of plague is as important as fighting floods." The plague is definitely no less harmful than the flood, and although some disinfection precautions have been taken in the capital, it is far from enough. What worries me the most is that the drinking water in the capital is basically polluted by floods. In such a heavily polluted water source, people who drink it are more likely to get sick. And these plagues were brought by the flood, but where did they come from, and what they would bring? No one can say. So keep an eye out for any unexplained deaths in case a new plague emerges. The entire capital was besieged by floods, and there was no way to escape even if you wanted to. The torrential rain doesn't seem to stop. If this continues, I am afraid that the flood will not recede in a short time. The capital will still be an isolated island, and once a terrible plague occurs in the capital, the people of the city will have to sit and wait for death.

Doctor Fei nodded and said, "Brother Yang's words are very reasonable, I will report to the emperor." It's just that I'm just an imperial doctor, and I will only be summoned if the emperor is sick. I didn't have a chance to see the emperor at all, and I couldn't report your words to him as soon as possible. ”

As soon as he said this, Sima Guang on the hospital bed slowly spoke: "Let the old man tell the emperor this." What you said just now, Young Master Yang, the old man will report to the emperor as it is. Remind the emperor to pay enough attention to what you say. And keep a close eye on every case of bizarre death in the city as you ask. Once found, the corpse will be sent to you to determine if it is a new plague. ”

Yang Xianmao's main idea was actually to convey it to the emperor through Sima Guang, but it was difficult to say it directly. Because Sima Guang's official is too big, he and Sima Guang only have a doctor-patient relationship. Although this matter is not for him personally, it is not easy to mention it to Sima Guang. So I deliberately told Doctor Fei to see Sima Guang's reaction. Unexpectedly, Sima Guang took the initiative to say to the emperor, Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be overjoyed, bowed to the end and said: "I thank Lord Sima for the people of the city." ”

Sima Guang shook his head and said: "This is originally a matter of asking for the people's life, and it is within the old man's duty. ”

Speaking of this, Sima Guang looked at Yang Xianmao with blazing eyes, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "May I ask Gongzi, what do you think of Wang Anshi's new law?"

Yang Xianmao inherited some of the memories of Venerable Ling Xiao, including about Wang Anshi's reforms, knowing that Sima Guang was a staunch opponent of Wang Anshi's new law, and would re-become prime minister after the death of Song Shenzong under the leadership of Empress Dowager Gao, and abolish the new law.

Yang Xianmao didn't have time to study the new law, so he said according to the content in his memory: "The law of the ancestors cannot be easily changed, and if you want to change the law of the ancestors, you must have a good reason. In my opinion, there are many inconsistencies in the new law itself, and it is really debatable to change the rules that our ancestors have practiced for a hundred years. ”

Sima Guang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Tell me, those places are worth discussing?"

Yang Xianmao looked back at the patient who was waiting to see a doctor and frowned. Sima Guang hurriedly said: "Just say one or two places, the old man wants to hear it, and it won't delay you too much." ”

"Well, the intention of the new law itself is good, but it can be implemented, but it backfires, and there are all kinds of drawbacks, such as apportionment in the Qingmiao Law, arbitrary increase in interest rates, extortion, immunization law to increase the amount of money, to collect more for work, and to take harshness for energy;

Regarding the evaluation of Wang Anshi's reform, in fact, in the long history of 900 years after the failure of the reform, the mainstream thought has completely denied, especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and even attributed the reason for the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty to the final demise of the Jin State on Wang Anshi's reform, and even compared Wang Anshi's reform to shake the foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty and bring disaster to the country and the people to a greater extent than the chaos of Cai Jing and other traitorous ministers. It was not until the modern century that a positive evaluation of Wang Anshi's reform gradually appeared.

Yang Xianmao actually didn't feel much about Wang Anshi's changes, and the few words he said were fragments in the memory of Venerable Ling Xiao, and they were the mainstream thoughts of the Southern Song Dynasty.

These few words were completely consistent with Sima Guang's main point of view, he even became short of breath, and asked again, the patient was already urging, Sima Guang hurriedly said: "You go to see a doctor first, please go to the cold house for a drink another day, and let's talk again." ”

………………

In the following days, Sima Guang would come to Yang Xianmao every day or two for a follow-up visit.

His condition is gradually recovering under Yang Xianmao's careful treatment. Sima Guang told Yang Xianmao that he had reported Yang Xianmao's suggestion directly to the emperor, and Song Shenzong attached great importance to it. A special order was issued to conscientiously implement Yang Xianmao's suggestion, and sent people to notify all medical centers that once they encountered strange death cases, they would be sent to Yang Xianmao's Xianmao Medical Center for examination.

Yang Xianmao was very happy to hear this, but in the next few days, things did not develop in the direction that Yang Xianmao envisioned. Sometimes one or two bodies arrived, sometimes no bodies arrived for days. And dozens of people die of illness in every hospital in the capital almost every day, and most of them are in the summer temperature.

And Yang Xianmao found that the conditions of the patients he diagnosed and treated began to show a terrible direction of development. For the new disease, his decoction has gradually lost its effect.

On this day, the person who was sent to the Xianmao Medical Center was a Minzhuang who was responsible for cleaning up the garbage, and was carried to the Yangxianmao Medical Center by several other Minzhuang with a door panel and placed on a small bed.

After Yang Xianmao's examination, it was found that he was significantly different from the ordinary summer temperature. The patient's neck, armpits, and groin were palpable with obvious lumps, and the pulse was strange and disorganized. It is neither floating nor sinking, neither slow nor hurried, and the veins on the right are more chaotic than those on the left. And the patient is extremely tired and thirsty, and the bones are aching all over the body.

According to the new disease that is different from the ordinary summer temperature, Yang Xianmao adjusted the medication in a targeted manner. Treat with detoxification and blood activating decoction. But he still felt relieved, so he said to the few people who sent him: "This disease is very strange. If he doesn't get better after taking my medicine, or if his condition worsens, he will be sent to him for treatment immediately, and don't delay, even if it's late at night, just come to me. Remember. ”

Several people agreed and carried the patient away.

After the patient left, Yang Xianmao was always uneasy. I can't figure out how there can be such a messy pulse. What kind of disease was this? Was it a variant of a new plague? That was what he feared most.

In the middle of the night, Yang Xianmao was woken up by the maid. Because I had been told last night that once a critically ill patient came to the emergency department, the man on duty could not deal with it, or he was obviously a summer temperature patient, so he was called up.

It is not uncommon for Yang Xianmao to treat diseases late at night, almost every night, sometimes receiving patients one after another, he often has to treat until dawn, and then practice medicine normally, and there is not much time to rest. Fortunately, his body has been tempered by the true fire of yin and yang. This continuous fatigue battle is not exhausting him.

After the maid woke him up, she told him that the people who had come today had come to see the sick with them.

Yang Xianmao was shocked. I got up immediately, hurriedly got dressed, and walked quickly to the lobby of the medical hall.

Several people looked at him anxiously, and an older one stepped forward and said, "Sir, he has become more and more powerful after taking the medicine." The whole person began to talk nonsense, and the lumps in the armpits and groin of the neck had ruptured and flowed yellow water. He shouldn't be called to him, and his body is still convulsed, what should I do?"

Yang Xianmao immediately leaned over to censor it, and sure enough, as the people said, he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart. Because the medicine he used before was specifically used for this disease, but it had no effect.

Although the targeted treatment of headache and head and foot pain is ridiculed, when the cause is unknown, this targeted treatment can only be carried out, and at least the symptoms can be relieved. But now there is no relief at all, but it is aggravated.

After repeated consideration, Yang Xianmao was finally diagnosed with heat poisoning into the pericardium. On the basis of the original recipe, raw bamboo leaf heart, raw lamp heart, skullcap, gardenia, wheat winter, lotus seed heart, and yuan ginseng heart were added to remove pericardial heat poison.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was still not enough, so I immediately added rhubarb, pu nitrate, and citrus aurantium shell to remove the patient's intestinal and abdominal heat and poison.

After adjusting the medication in a targeted manner, he immediately instructed the medicine boy to grab the medicine and decoction, and at the same time said to a few people who were sent: "His condition is extremely critical, I suggest that you do not carry him away, just put him here for observation, I will adjust the medication at any time according to the condition, and rescue him if necessary." ”

A few people nodded in agreement. After talking, it was learned that they were actually villagers from the neighborhood, who had come to the city to work, and were finally blocked in the city by floods, and their family members were unknown outside the city.

This time, Yang Xianmao did not go back to sleep, but sat on the edge of the bed and watched the medicine boy take the medicine to the patient, and then waited on the side.

In the meantime, two more patients knocked on the door for medical attention. Yang Xianmao was surprised to find that one of the patients had a similar condition to the patient he was currently treating. For example, small bumps were also found in his neck and armpits, but they were relatively small, with slight pain in his head and body, and a low-grade fever. These symptoms have never appeared before Yang Xianmao's diagnosis and treatment of summer temperature. And now I have met two people with the same condition.

Yang Xianmao's heart tightened, because the patient who came before had a very rapid progression. I have fallen into a deep coma, and I can't call it, and I don't feel the same way. In the second half of the night, the condition worsened and he began to have convulsions all over his body. There is a large purple-black mark on the groin, and it quickly spreads to all parts of the body, and the painful* sound is terrifying.

After Yang Xianmao's treatment, he found that he was already in extremely critical condition, and he was about to be in both yin and yang. Yang Xianmao immediately adjusted the medicine again, adding antelope horn and rhinoceros horn. But as soon as the prescription was written, the patient swallowed his breath before the medicine boy could grab the medicine.

Yang Xianmao looked at the corpse with a heavy heart, and after a while, he called aside the parents of the other patient who had been left behind, and said frankly: "His illness is very similar to the patient who died, and I have no way to treat it." So, I suggest you take him back and prepare for the aftermath. ”

Yang Xianmao was telling the truth, and he didn't want to give the patient's family an unrealistic hope. To tell them the truth, maybe they can choose whether to take the patient back to do the funeral according to the situation, and explain his last words, after all, his condition is still relatively mild, and in the first half of the day, he is likely to fall into a coma.

However, the patient's family did not know the child's condition as thoroughly as Yang Xianmao, and they looked at Yang Xianmao in dismay.

The patient's mother said anxiously: "Sir, I heard that you are the best man in the city to cure the heat and temperature, we have just come, please be sure to save our children." ”

The patient's father also hurriedly pleaded.

Yang Xianmao shook his head painfully and said, "If I can cure it, I will definitely not stand idly by." But your son's illness is obviously not an ordinary summer temperature. Look at the patient over there, when he came in the afternoon, he was in the same condition as your son, but now he's dead. I changed my medication twice in a row to no avail. I have been seeing people for so long, and I have never encountered such a dangerous disease, please forgive me for my incompetence. ”

The patient's father cried: "We can't watch him die. Sir, please save my son, and heal him. We heard that Dr. Fei Shen of Liantai Hospital said that your medical skills are the best in the world. You can't cure it, who else can cure it?"

Yang Xianmao shook his head helplessly and said, "That's good, I'll do my best, but I don't dare to guarantee the ticket." ”

The parents quickly nodded and thanked each other.

Yang Xianmao is not in a hurry to use the medicine immediately, especially with the original prescription. He decided to inquire about the cause of the patient's illness. Perhaps a symptomatic treatment can be found from the perspective of the source of the disease.

After inquiring in detail about the patient's illness, it was learned that the patient's home was very slow to clean up the mud, and drowned dead animals such as chickens and ducks were removed from a corner of the yard.

The patient's filthy environment, coupled with the hot weather, led to the fumigation of heat poison, and the poison of the plague entered the blood vessels through the pores, causing blood to collapse, coagulate in the armpits of the neck and groin, and further lesions.

From this, Yang Xianmao concluded that this disease should be a heat poison. For heat poisoning, gypsum, Zhimu, light bamboo leaves, Lei Gong root, ground gall head, white grass root, honeysuckle, and ox side seed should be used to clear heat and detoxify.

He felt that he had figured out the cause and mechanism of the disease, and had reformulated a prescription. He said to the patient's family: "This prescription is the treatment I can think of at the moment, and if this prescription still doesn't work, I really can't do anything, I'm sorry." ”

Hearing this, the poor parents nodded gloomily, they believed Yang Xianmao's words. Now it can only be seen whether God is going to take his son away.

As a result, both Yang Xianmao and the patient's family felt desperate.

By daybreak, the poor child's condition deteriorated rapidly, and after taking Yang Xianmao's medicine, it had no effect. At dawn, he fell into a deep coma. Like the previous patient, the lumps in the neck, armpits, and groin ulcerated and flowed yellow water, forming large and rapidly spreading dark spots. The patient feels as if something in his body has torn open all the internal organs.

The parents thought of the symptoms of the previously deceased Minzhuang, which was exactly the same as their own son in front of them, and knew that their child's fate was the same as Minzhuang. Crying and crying, he carried the child home.

Yang Xianmao's mood was very heavy, but before he could come to his senses, one after another similar patients were sent to his medical center, but he couldn't do anything.

Not only his medical center, but almost all medical centers in the whole capital have received such patients, including Tai Hospital.

In addition to treating the emperor's relatives and important officials of the imperial court, there are many ordinary imperial doctors and apprentices of the Taiyi Academy, as well as some low-level officials, as well as the imperial forest army stationed in the capital.

After the flood water in the capital was discharged from the city, the Taiyi Academy did not resume normal lectures, but the students of the Taiyi Academy have reorganized themselves and participated in the treatment of the disease. Because there are more and more sick people in the capital, especially the Imperial Forest Army. It is necessary to send Lang Zhong from the Tai Hospital to take the students of the Taiyi Academy to the barracks of the Royal Forest Army for treatment.

Yang Xianmao, as a special student of the Taiyi Academy, is currently busy saving people in the medical hall, so the judge of the Taiyi Academy specifically allowed him not to be summoned to return to the team to participate in the diagnosis of the Imperial Forest Army. The other students were all recruited back to the academy, except for the two county lords, of course. Because they were auditors in the first place. Hua Youying also received the notice, and after talking to Yang Xianmao, she also returned to the academy to participate in the Imperial Forest Army's diagnosis.

The Imperial Forest Army had tens of thousands of people in the capital, and the main defense was within the imperial city. Another part was sent to the tower of the outer city to be responsible for the city defense, and participated in the flood control and flood control organized by Cai Jing.

The number of sick people in the Imperial Guards is increasing, and most of them are intestinal diseases caused by drinking unclean water or eating unclean food. For example, there are diarrhea in the stomach, some are skin diseases, of course, there are many infected with the summer temperature, and some people who are critically ill have died on the city tower before they can wait for the hospital to come to see a doctor.
