When the ink was dry, Qin Shi Huang carefully folded the exercises and put them away closely, and the two of them sat down to drink tea again, and the slightly depressed atmosphere was instantly much more relaxed.

"I just advised Aiqing to abstinence, self-cultivation, and self-cultivation, I think so, and I will inevitably follow Aiqing's method in the future.

"Abstinence is not desireless, Your Majesty is as good as you like, don't be greedy too much, but the minister said that His Majesty's harem has countless beauties, desire for abstinence, restraint is only one of them, the best way is out of sight is pure......"

"What does it mean to be out of sight?" The First Emperor was intrigued by this new word.

Lao Tzu said: The five colors make people's eyes fascinated. But if you can't see with your eyes, it will be naturally pure, Your Majesty took the beauties of the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang, built hundreds of palaces to raise them in the harem to pamper entertainment, but Your Majesty has limited energy after all, how can you be pampered, these so-called beauties of the Six Kingdoms, may be the concubines of the six kings, or the princesses of the kings of the Six Kingdoms, since Your Majesty broke Zhao, many women have been in Qin for nearly 20 years, and under the passage of time, the original young beauty has long been gone, and Your Majesty has also become a middle-aged man with low energy from the original prime of life, And these harem women, there is not one in a hundred who can be favored by His Majesty, and many of them have never been seen by His Majesty until now, so the minister thinks that it is better to raise these old and decrepit daughters in the palace, it is better to be dismissed and return home, so that His Majesty's eyes can be clean, and at the same time, he can also win the gratitude of the people of the land of the Six Kingdoms......"

"And in this way, the cost of the harem will also be saved a lot, and the perfume that makes His Majesty have a headache can also be solved, even if the perfume production is difficult and the output is not high, but the minister can also meet the supply, so that the harem concubines are bustling and make His Majesty worry and difficult to solve!"

Qin Shi Huang's eyes were a little misty as he held the teacup, and his face twitched slightly from time to time, as if he was struggling violently in his heart.

At the beginning, he was ambitious to sweep the six countries, in order to express the humiliation of the conqueror, and at the same time show his domineering and powerful, and there is also the Shang and Zhou Dynasty to conquer the enemy is to take his wife and children as slaves, Qin Shi Huang took the harem of the kings of the six countries and the princesses who have not yet married and even the daughters of the nobles back to Xianyang.

And in order to accommodate these women, Qin Shi Huang built a lot of buildings, not only every time a country was broken, he would build a palace in imitation of the king's palace, but also would choose the beautiful and delicate ones for the beauties he brought back to build a dormitory, so at present, inside and outside Xianyang City on the north bank of the Wei River, there are not only the magnificent palaces of the Six Kingdoms, but also hundreds of concubine palaces connected by layers of corridors, some of which Qin Shi Huang did not go to see after repairing, and those so-called concubines, he has never been pampered, and the reason for doing so is only for show, indicating his majesty and domineering conquest of the Six Nations, and making the civilians of the Six Nations submit to this coercion.

But time has changed, most of the beautiful women of the Six Kingdoms at the beginning are now old and decrepit as Chen Xu said, and they are no longer more than ten years old, but in order to support these women, most of the Shaofu's annual expenses are spent in the harem, and it is only then that the construction of the library this time can't even make up 10 million dollars.

And the appearance of perfume, but also let the emperor feel a huge pressure, in order to get perfume, many concubines and palace maids in the harem will inevitably try their best to get, these expenses, after all, will still be from the treasury of the Shaofu, so that the cost of the palace will be even more stretched.

"Out of sight is pure...... Out of sight is out of sight ......"

The First Emperor sat on the big chair and kept whispering this sentence, and after a long time, he stood up and gently slapped his waist a few times and said: "Aiqing is reasonable, streamlining the harem can indeed make me worry a lot less, but I still need to think about it carefully, and then summon Aiqing into the palace in a few days to discuss this matter!" ”

"Your Majesty, is it because of your back?" Chen Xu also stood up.

"Not only have I been restless lately, but I have often been awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, my back is often sore, and I haven't gotten better after taking some medicines, it seems that I am indeed old!" Qin Shi Huang sighed.

"Your Majesty is concerned with state affairs, and you have to review a lot of chapters every day, which is a disease of lumbar muscle strain caused by sitting for a long time, taking medicine can not have obvious effects, and there is a method of massage, let the doctor help massage and dredge the muscles and veins every day, and eliminate the symptoms of low back fatigue can be seen immediately!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Aiqing really has this method?" Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed.

"Hehe, this method is simple, but it needs to be proficient in acupuncture points and familiar with the muscles and veins to have an effect, and the method of massage has long existed, the Yellow Emperor's internal scripture is called massage, Your Majesty can call two imperial doctors to come, and the minister can simply demonstrate it for His Majesty!"

"Okay, Aiqing, wait a minute, come on, go to the Imperial Medical Department and summon two imperial doctors who are proficient in acupuncture points and tendons!"

"喏~"

The people of the palace outside the door took the order to go, and Chen Xu also accompanied the emperor to say some health care methods such as simple massage, acupuncture, and foot bath in later generations.

After a greeting, Chen Xu said that the emperor's lumbar muscle strain can be supplemented with massage to alleviate it, Zhou Jiong and the two imperial doctors did not refute after listening, one of the imperial doctors named Du Gui even nodded again and again and said: "Neijing Su asked the clouds: the shape is frightened, the meridians are blocked, the disease is born from inhumanity, and the treatment is massage, mash wine." Your Majesty's disease is just as Zuo Xiang said, it is caused by sitting for a long time caused by poor blood in the waist and hips, massage acupoints to dredge the tendons and veins, will definitely relieve His Majesty's low back discomfort, I have heard for a long time that Zuo Xiang is proficient in medicine, today I can see the method of massage in Zuo Xiang, and we can increase a lot of knowledge! ”

"Exactly, please also demonstrate it to Zuo Xiang, I will treat it according to the law in the future, and diagnose and treat His Majesty!"

"Zuo Xiang will see how I should cooperate!"

In the sound of the two imperial doctors patting their ass, Qin Shi Huang was also slightly excited.

Chen Xu's magic he knows, massage is not a new medical term, but massage is rarely used in daily treatment, now the most used by doctors is according to Bian Que's four methods of looking, hearing, asking and cutting, through decoction to diagnose and treat diseases, and occasionally use needle stones.

Traditional Chinese medicine has four major medical techniques: acupuncture, moxibustion, and medicine. The origin is very early, and the treatment methods are also different, but the study of pathology is similar, and the most commonly used on weekdays is to prick needles and take medicine, and the head and burn have become an adjuvant treatment method.

At present, Daqin is in the beginning of the rise of the profession of doctors, various medical theories and treatment methods are far less mature than the traditional Chinese medicine of later generations, and it is still in the stage of exploration and transformation, even if it is the imperial doctor in the palace, many of them are Fang Dao warlocks, and there is no fully mature medical and theoretical system, the five elements, yin and yang, gods and ghosts, and witchcraft are all mixed together, although so, there are still many people with excellent medical skills, such as Xu Fu and Zhou Jiong, etc., but all people who are familiar with medical skills have a common characteristic, That is, to be very familiar with the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body, because this is the basis of TCM treatment.

A group of people surrounded Qin Shi Huang into the inner room, ordered the charcoal stove to be raised in the room, and the kang was also lit, and after the temperature in the room rose, Chen Xu asked the emperor to take off his coat and lie on the kang, and briefly demonstrated the massage method of the waist and back, Zhou Jiong and the two imperial doctors instantly understood the principle, but the faces of the three were extremely strange.

Chen Xu was still unconscious, and while gently massaging and massaging the emperor's body, he explained the effect of this simple massage.

"Well, comfortable, Aiqing is massaged like this, I feel very relaxed!" Qin Shi Huang lay on the kang, humming with a comfortable face.

"Massage is just one of them, with acupuncture, scraping, and cupping, Your Majesty will take turns to treat for a period of time, and the discomfort of the lower back will be greatly alleviated!" Chen Xu said with a smile as he pressed it again.

"Acupuncture and moxibustion, what kind of therapy is gua sha and fire cupping?" Not only Qin Shi Huang was interested, but Zhou Jiong and the two imperial doctors were also interested, standing next to him to observe and study, and asked questions at the same time.

"Gua sha is the use of stones and other materials to scrape the meridian acupuncture points, which can achieve the effect of activating blood and removing stasis, dredging the meridians to drive away evil spirits and detoxify, but it is best to supplement the skin with sesame oil and essential oils, although the skin pain is unbearable when scraping, but after the sha will be relaxed......"

"Zuo Xiang, how to do the fire cup?" Du Gui couldn't help but ask.

"The simplest fire pot is to use a fist-sized porcelain pot clay pot, after heating and discharging the air in it, use the principle of air pressure to adsorb on the skin, and wait for a period of time to suck out the damp and poisonous gas accumulated in the body, which is a method of internal and external treatment, very effective and very convenient and simple, the principle of air pressure have you heard?" Chen Xu looked at the three imperial doctors and asked with a smile.

"Could it be the atmospheric pressure that Hou Ye said in the Academy of Sciences?" Du Gui asked in surprise.

"Yes, cupping is this principle, this method is the most simple and convenient, but today there is no stone and fire cupping can not be demonstrated, wait a few days and I will come to the palace to treat Your Majesty, you will know at a glance!"

"Okay, I'll wait for Zuo Xiang's teaching!" The imperial doctor ordered Zhou Jiong and the two imperial doctors to hurriedly surrender their hands, but the emperor hummed comfortably and said: "Why wait a few days, Aiqing will come tomorrow, Aiqing's massage method has a degree of urgency, I feel that the whole body is Sutai, and I have the idea of drowsiness, which is really a good way to calm my mind and fall asleep!" ”

"Your Majesty sleeps peacefully, this method is simple, the imperial doctor and the two imperial doctors will look at it, the most important thing is to massage the acupuncture points, and the strength must be mastered, don't use too hard, but not too light, the force will hurt the muscle meridians, too light will not achieve the therapeutic effect, these need to be slowly explored in the process of treatment......"

"Purr ~ Purr ......"

Chen Xu was talking while massaging, and Qin Shi Huang, who was lying on the kang, actually began to snore.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is asleep, let's do it today, Ben Hou has to go back first to prepare some utensils, and tomorrow I will enter the palace to continue the diagnosis and treatment for Your Majesty!" Chen Xu stopped, and several palace people who had been standing next to him hurriedly came over and carefully covered the emperor with the futon.

"Qinghe Hou really has good medical skills, His Majesty has been sleeping restlessly recently, and he has to toss and turn on the couch for more than an hour every night to fall asleep, but I didn't expect to fall asleep peacefully in just two moments today!"

After Chen Xu left, several palace people and chamberlains who were responsible for serving the emperor stood outside the palace and whispered earnestly.

At this time, Zhou Jiong and Du Gui, who had also returned to the Tai Hospital, were also walking around and discussing in a low voice.

"Your Majesty's back is uncomfortable, it's not that I don't know how to relieve massage and relieve it, but I don't dare to do it!"

"However, in the whole world, I am afraid that only the Marquis of Qinghe can make His Majesty defenseless like this......"

"Yes, it's okay to say that the massage is the most dangerous method of acupuncture, who dares to take a few inches of gold needle to prick Your Majesty, alas, Qinghe Hou is causing trouble for me!"

"But if gua sha and fire cupping can really drive away evil spirits and pull out poison, I'm afraid Your Majesty's visceral disease will be saved......"

"Shhh

"Rest assured, we will definitely study carefully and ask for advice!" The two imperial doctors nodded hurriedly.
