Li Chengqian said: "It is said that it is a big hospital's method, and this cannot be kept secret. Li Ke will definitely go to thank the big hospital, and the matter will be revealed. Alas, don't say it, it's really a difficult thing to do. ”

The two brothers really couldn't think of a better way for a while.

In the end, Li Chengqian said: "Fifth brother, it's still the same old saying, eldest brother believes that you have a way, so I'll leave this matter to you to solve." Ha ha. ”

With Li You by his side, Li Chengqian felt that life was very comfortable.

After Li You left, Li Chengqian suddenly thought of a question, Li You would leave Chang'an in a short time and return to the Northwest Road, and he wanted to suggest that Li You stay in Chang'an.

In this matter, he wanted to ask for the opinions of his confidants, so he sent someone to find Zhang Xuansu, and he wanted to ask for his master's opinion first.

Qi Wangfu.

Li You returned to the Qi Palace, and Sun Simiao was already waiting in the guest room.

Sun Simiao, the old immortal, has already seen through the red dust, and he basically has no desires. But even if they are immortals, they will have something that interests them.

Sun Simiao, who is obsessed with writing "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", is bound to have a prescription for treating such a big illness as the plague. He came early in the hope that Li You could find a cure for the plague from the parchment scroll.

Li You asked people to bring the parchment scroll, he pretended to be serious and flipped through it for a while, and said in surprise: "Oh, there is really a cure for this plague." ”

Sun Simiao asked eagerly, "Your Highness, come and hear it." ”

Li You said: "This plague is called malaria, which is caused by mosquito bites, and the main symptoms are chills, first chills at the ends of the limbs, and chills on the back and whole body. Goosebumps on the skin, cyanosis of the lips and nails, chills naturally stop, and body temperature rises.

After the cold sensation disappears, the complexion turns red, the cyanosis disappears, and the body temperature rises rapidly, usually the more significant the chills, the higher the body temperature......"

Li You said that different malaria parasites can cause different diseases such as vivax malaria, malaria malaria, falciparum malaria and terranium ovale.

He prescribed the corresponding prescription:

Traditional Chinese medicine 1, small chaihu soup plus or minus: 12 grams of bupleurum chinensis, 12 grams of skullcap, 12 grams of banxia, 7 grams of Changshan (fried in wine), 7 grams of grass fruit, 7 grams of licorice, 3 slices of ginger, 3 jujubes. If the surface is really cold and even less sweaty, add 7 grams of cinnamon branches, Qianghuo, and parsnip, and if you are thirsty, add 12 grams of kudzu, dendrobium, and smallpox pollen, and add 7 grams of green skin, atractylodes, and magnolia bark.

Chinese Medicine II.

……

Then, Li You also talked about the methods of daily conditioning.

If Sun Simiao got a treasure, he asked Li You to read it slowly, and he wrote it down.

After the record was completed, Sun Simiao carefully took the prescription into his arms. He said with great anticipation: "Your Highness, the old man has a request, and I hope His Highness can agree. ”

Li You's heart moved, and he thought of a way to solve his problem. He asked, "Sir, please." ”

Sun Simiao said: "The old man wants to go to Linyi Country in person to help those Tang Army soldiers treat this plague. In fact, he wanted to test the cure for this plague on the ground.

The main reason why Sun Simiao wanted to ask Li You was that Empress Changsun was not in good health now. It seems that it is inappropriate for him to leave Chang'an at this time as a recognized famous doctor. However, he also knew that his stay in Chang'an would have any effect on Empress Changsun's illness. That's why he made a request to Li You.

Taking advantage of Sun Simiao's request for himself now, Li You said: "Sir, I am indeed a little embarrassed by your request. However, it is not impossible to solve it. I also have something to ask for, and I hope that my husband will agree. ”

Sun Simiao was very happy when he heard that Li You agreed to go to Lingnan by himself. And he always thought that he owed Li You a lot of favors, and he was very happy to help Li You.

He said: "It doesn't matter if Your Highness has any requests, as long as the old man can do it, he will definitely do his best." ”

Li You gave the credit for dedicating the method of curing the plague and let Sun Simiao fall under his name.

"This?" Sun Simiao hesitated.

Being able to treat malaria is a great contribution for the benefit of the country and the people, and it will go down in history. The imperial court will definitely present awards for this matter, which is a big move.

Sun Simiao himself is indifferent to fame and fortune, he is reluctant to show his face, not to mention this thing that takes credit from others, he is even more unwilling to do it.

Seeing Sun Simiao's hesitation, Li You said: "Sir, in fact, the invention of this prescription is not my credit, it was recorded by my predecessors on the parchment scroll.

What's more, whether this method is feasible or not requires you to conduct clinical trials in the field, and then adjust and enrich the prescription according to the effect of the treatment.

At the same time, the officers and men of the Don Army and the common people were treated, which in itself is a credit to you.

From that point of view, you were the real hero of the plague, and you deserved it at the time. ”

When Sun Simiao heard this, he was a little moved.

Li You continued: "Old man, you are indifferent to fame and fortune and have a noble character. However, caring too much about fame is also a shackle to your behavior, or a form of pursuing fame and fortune.

Since you are indifferent to fame and fortune, why do you care who will receive this credit? ”

Li You's words moved Sun Simiao, and he suddenly felt that he was indifferent to fame and fortune, but in fact, he still cared about his reputation in his heart. This in itself is indeed a kind of inability to think about, which shows that I still have the idea of pursuing fame and fortune in my mind.

He thought that he was already close to 100 years old, why couldn't he think about it? What's more, look at His Royal Highness King Qi who took the initiative to give up such a great credit for the benefit of the court. This realm seems to be superior to oneself.

Thinking of this, Sun Si stood up, bowed down and said, "Old man is ashamed, thank you for your highness's guidance." The old man figured it out and was willing to take this credit for His Highness. ”

Li You hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. doesn't have to be polite, if you want to say thank you, I still have to express my gratitude to the old gentleman on behalf of the imperial court." ”

Sun Simiao was eager to save people, and he said that he wanted to set off immediately.

Li You said: "Sir's heart to save the country and the people is admirable, so I will go into the palace to ask to see the queen and explain to her the reason why Mr. left Chang'an." ”

Li You immediately entered the palace, first went to see Li Chengqian, and explained the situation to him. Then the two came to the Lizheng Hall together and explained the situation to Empress Changsun.

Li You said that Sun Simiao had already taken care of the various conditions of Empress Changsun's body and wrote detailed precautions. Li You will stay in Chang'an until Li Shimin returns, and come to take care of Empress Changsun when she needs it.

Empress Changsun heard that Sun Simiao was going to the frontier to treat the soldiers who had contracted the plague, and she immediately agreed to this request.

Empress Changsun smiled: "You'er, now you can't leave Chang'an no matter what." The envoy sent by the Ministry of Rites has already gone to the Great Food Country, if you leave, what should the bride do when she comes back? ”
