Chapter 808: Sima Guang fell ill

Although the main development direction of this plague is fever, high fever, nonsense, and eventually death from respiratory failure, it is actually very different. The symptoms of each plague and the actual medication are different.

Because in traditional Chinese medicine, when it comes to summer temperature, it actually includes several acute infectious diseases of Western medicine, which are easy to get sick after the flood. For example, dysentery, leptospirosis, Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, etc. These diseases can often be summarized in traditional Chinese medicine by summer temperature, and targeted drugs are used for differentiated treatment.

It is precisely for this reason that for the same treatment of summer temperature, each Langzhong will have different medications for each symptom, and even the same prescription will have different compatibility. This shows the level of Langzhong.

For the patient, it's a matter of luck. If you meet a good Langzhong, you can recover, and if you meet a quack, even if the condition is not serious, you are likely to die eventually. And many of these so-called quacks are even regarded as famous doctors in ordinary times. It's just that when it comes to treating this particular disease, they may lack the means.

One of the people who encountered this kind of unfortunate thing was the famous Sima Guang.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were originally friends. Because of Wang Anshi's change, the two had diametrically opposite attitudes towards the change, Sima Guang resolutely opposed the change, and went toe-to-toe with Wang Anshi.

Because Wang Anshi received the resolute support of Song Shenzong and implemented the reform, Sima Guang was excluded. Therefore, he retired to Luoyang and compiled the "General Guide to Governance". After the book was compiled, Song Shenzong was very happy and recruited him to Beijing to inquire about the book. Therefore, when Bianliang, Tokyo, suffered a catastrophic flood that had not been seen in a thousand years, this honest and erudite old loyal minister was in the capital. After Song Shenzong browsed Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian", he praised it and awarded Sima Guang a bachelor of the palace.

In a way, this position is actually more of an honor. Because it was the equivalent of the emperor's adviser to the emperor, and it was a favor that the emperor used to his hard-working ministers. It was impossible for Song Shenzong to give Sima Guang the ability to prevent the implementation of the change, so he only gave him this glory.

Because Sima Guang is not a relative of the emperor, of course he is not qualified to live in the imperial city, but he still lives in his own house in the capital. When the flood entered the city, the servants of the family found him in time and immediately moved him and his family to the top of the castle tower, saving his life, and only returned home after the water receded.

When he returned home, he found that his study with thousands of books had been soaked in the flood, and tens of thousands of precious books had become puddles of rotten paper. Immediately fainted several times in pain, but fortunately, his "Zizhi Tongjian" had been sent to Song Shenzong for review and did not stay at home, which allowed this huge work to be preserved.

Sima Guang was heartbroken for his book collection, and after reluctantly accepting this fact, he began to do his best to recover the loss. All he had to do was sort out the books that had been soaked in the murky river.

Those that cannot be restored can only be discarded, and those that can barely see the handwriting are used to dry and flatten. The books are soaked in muddy water and carefully washed with clean water before being dried. He didn't worry about letting his servants do it, these books were his treasures. He has to do it himself, and all the books are cleaned and dried by himself. That's why I get muddy water all over my body every day.

It was precisely because he was in this polluted environment for a long time that he unfortunately contracted the heat as a result.

On this day, Sima Guang was sorting out his books, and suddenly felt dizzy.

At first, I thought that I had been squatting for too long, so I bent down and put my hands on my knees, wanting to wait for the dizziness to pass before continuing to be busy. But the dizziness became more and more serious, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person pounced, fell forward and fell to the ground. Seeing this scene, the two servants hurriedly stepped forward to help Sima Guang up.

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "I'm fine, let's continue to ......"

The servant cautiously let go of his arm, but with this release, Sima Guang's entire body immediately collapsed and fell to the ground again. The two servants hurriedly helped him to sit down on the soft couch beside him, and one of them hurried to invite the old lady over.

After the old lady came, she saw that Sima Guang's old face was burning red, and she immediately panicked, and reached over and touched his forehead, as if she had touched a soldering iron, and she was even more frightened, and hurriedly asked the two servants: "What's the matter, master? Why is it burning so badly?"

The two attendants were very alarmed, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, "I saw that the old man looked wrong before, but I didn't touch his forehead, and I didn't know that the high fever was like this." I advised him to rest, but he refused, and just now he was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground. ”

The old lady hurriedly instructed the servants to carry Sima Guang to the bed on a soft couch, and immediately went to ask for a doctor.

What a person Sima Guang is, he is a pillar of the country, the emperor's minister of the humerus, of course, he must send the best imperial doctor to come to diagnose and treat. Therefore, it is the emperor's imperial physician who is dispatched, the head of the imperial physician, and the imperial physician of the king.

Imperial Doctor Wang rushed to Sima Guang's house, and after some examination, he comforted the old lady and said, "Don't worry, there is no big problem." Lord Sima is overworked, it often rains these days, the weather is cold and uncertain, and he is infected with wind chills. With Xinwen Jie Table such as Qianghuo, Fengfeng, Bupleurum and Pueraria Pueraria, you can recover with up to two doses. ”

After hearing this, the old woman was a little relieved and thanked her repeatedly. Imperial Physician Wang wrote a prescription, said goodbye and left.

The medicine was quickly caught, and the old lady decocted the medicine herself, and then asked the personal maid to feed Sima Guang to take it.

Sima Guang's already burned head was a little groggy, although he heard his wife talking beside him, he didn't have the strength at all. Feeling them bring the medicine to their mouths, they drank it with a clatter, and then lay groggy on the bed.

The old lady was undressed and kept by her side, and at dusk, she ordered the lamp to be held. After the lights were turned on, the old lady found that the flushing on Sima Guang's face was even more terrifying, and she didn't know if it was because of the light, so she tentatively reached out and touched her forehead, which was even hotter than before, and she immediately panicked. Leaned down and grabbed Sima Guang's arm, shook it lightly and said, "Master, how do you feel, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it." ”

Sima Guang didn't seem to hear it, and from time to time he screamed painfully. The emaciated cheeks are like two abysses, and they look a little scary under the light. At the same time, the old lady noticed that there was something red in his nostrils, and when she took the lantern closer, she found that there was a nosebleed.

This frightened the old lady to a loss, and hurriedly hugged Sima Guang's shoulder and shook it for a while, shouting desperately in a hoarse voice, but she couldn't call it. I was even more anxious, and quickly called the child over to see what was going on.

His son Sima Kang, daughter-in-law and children all came, shouting around Sima Guang, but Sima Guang just shouldn't, which made everyone even more panicked, and they didn't know what to do.

Sima Guang's wife, Zhang, could not have children, they had been married for 30 years, and they did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for him. In the end, the son of Sima Guang's elder brother came as the heir, inherited the incense, and named Sima Kang.

Sima Kang didn't know what to do, so he said to Zhang: "Why don't we send someone to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor?"

Zhang wept and said: "Even the judge of Tai Hospital came to see the doctor in person, and the prescription was prescribed, but it had no effect. What if you invite someone else?"

Sima Kang said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, maybe the court will not see my father's disease, and it is not known, maybe there is a way to change Langzhong." ”

The old lady had no other ideas at this time, of course, she caught everything as a lifesaver, so she hurriedly told Sima Kang to go to the Tai Hospital and ask for a doctor again.

The imperial doctor invited this time was a well-known doctor of Fei Shen.

Doctor Fei has the name of a miracle doctor in Tai Hospital, which shows the high level of his medical skills. The royal physician Wang was in a high position because of the relationship between his ancestors. In fact, the medical skills are not as good as the magic doctors.

Therefore, when Imperial Doctor Wang heard that the prescription he prescribed had no effect, and after Sima Guang took it, his condition worsened, and he couldn't help but feel very ashamed, so he sent the best doctor Fei Shen from Tai Hospital to the scene and asked him to go for diagnosis and treatment, hoping to be cured as soon as possible.

At the same time, due to Sima Guang's special status, the court judge wanted to know what prescription Dr. Fei would use to cure his illness, so Dr. Wang followed Dr. Fei to Sima Guang's house in a carriage.

After some examination, Dr. Fei stroked his beard and groaned.

The royal doctor on the side didn't dare to disturb. After a while, he finally saw Doctor Fei shaking his head, as if he had made up his mind, so he asked, "How is it?"

Of course, Doctor Fei Shen must respect the leader of this Tai Hospital in the officialdom, and the hospital sentenced the royal doctor. However, when he sees a doctor, he doesn't care what the identity of the other party is, everything is based on the principle of curing the disease. Just the facts, not the people.

Therefore, Doctor Fei said bluntly: "Lord Sima's illness is not typhoid fever, but summer temperature. You had previously used the medicines of Qianghuo, Fengfeng, Bupleurum and Gegenxin to relieve the surface, but the heat was incomprehensible, but it penetrated deep into the bloodstream, causing the patient to faint. Now it must be healed according to the heat of the summer. ”

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Wang said: "When I was diagnosed and treated before, I also felt a bit like summer temperature, not to mention that I heard that there are not a few people who suffer from summer temperature in the capital these days, and it is possible that Lord Sima has also been infected with summer temperature. But I don't think it's so coincidental, because I asked, and Master Sima never went out. After the water receded, he kept his collection of books at home. Since you haven't gone out, how can you get infected with the summer temperature?"

Doctor Fei sneered and said: "This disease is pervasive, even if you are at home, you may be infected, so why do you need to go out to get it." As far as I know, many people hide in their homes and are afraid to go out, and they are also sick. Therefore, it is too child's fun to use this point to judge what kind of disease it is. ”

When the royal court judge heard this, his face immediately became gloomy, but he didn't have a seizure, but looked at Doctor Fei coldly, and said, "Okay, then please hurry up and prescribe a prescription to treat Lord Sima!"

Doctor Fei didn't know that he had offended this immediate boss by what he had just said. He was originally a straightforward person, even if he knew that he was going to offend the other party, he would choke in his throat and not vomit unpleasantly.
