Prequel: The Widow Has a Disease Chapter 41, Pu Miao Visits
There is a Ming doctor Pu Miao in the more land, who can live and die, flesh and bones, and the world is afraid of it.
It is rumored that thousands of people who are dying have been able to prolong their lives through Pu Miao, but this is just a rumor, and Pu Miao himself has not admitted it.
The credibility of the rumors is not high, and everyone in the world knows that Dr. Pu Miao died one by one.
In the past, the emperor of Dali was only forty years old, and he was critically ill. Pu Miao entered the capital and began his path of medical sainthood.
The specific treatment process is not known to the world, only that Song Ko, the mother of the country, gave Pu Miao platinum and sent him for twenty miles.
Zhao Tianzi's condition improved, and he enshrined Pu Miao as a medical saint, and he wanted to worship Pu Miao as a doctor. Pu Miao refused, and became famous for a while. However, in just half a month, Zhao Tianzi died and Pu Miao disappeared for more than ten years. Ten years later, Pu Miao was born again, shuttling between rivers and lakes and temples.
In the fourteenth year of King Lihe, the conflicting Wu Yue broke out the battle of Huiji, and the king of Wu was Su Du and defended the important town of Huiji. Yue General Chun defeated several generals of Wu in a row, and trapped Wu Wang Nai in Huiji.
The country can not be without a king for a day, the temple of Wu State supports Gongzi Zhaolin as the king, and Gongzi Zhaolin sent troops to relieve the siege of Huiji to welcome the old Wu Wang Naisu back to China.
In the fifteenth year of King Lihe, the old Wu Wang Naisu was critically ill and asked Pu Miao for medical treatment. Pu Miao took the pulse of Naisu and made sure that there was no big problem, but Gongzi Zhaolin called Pu Miao a quack doctor and sent him away.
Three days later, the old Wu Wang Nai died of exhaustion, and the son Zhaolin ascended the throne.
Practicing medicine twice, once to kill the emperor of Dali, and once to kill the princes, the people of the world no longer dare to believe in his name as a medical saint and call him a quack. When the countries heard that Pu Miao had traveled, even if they were critically ill, they were afraid to avoid him, so how could they dare to ask him to practice medicine.
The medical saint Pu Miao, the world is afraid of it.
Pu Miao's last medical practice was in the winter of the 23rd year of King Lihe, and Dali Taibao and Zhongshan Prince Kuang were critically ill.
It's not that someone asked Pu Miao to practice medicine, but that Pu Miao happened to be in Yanzhou and took the initiative to ask for his life. Zhongshan's son Tang rewarded him with ten gold and only let him leave. Pu Miao didn't leave, insisting on seeing a doctor for Zikuang.
At this time, the prince of Zhongshan, Kuang, had only half a breath left, and he was dead, so Zitang agreed to Pu Miao.
Sure enough, a quack doctor is a quack doctor, and after his treatment, Zikuang only survived for two months, and he still died.
The quack doctor Pu Miao was so famous that Song Xiao heard that Pu Miao was in Luoyi, and hurriedly ordered someone to give money to repatriate him.
In the first battle of Fuling, the country of Tongjiang won a tragic victory, and Jiang Wangshu, the Hou of Tongjiang, was struck by lightning, and his life and death were uncertain.
Ba Chuang led the light cavalry to escort Jiang Wangshu back to the capital, and asked Taibu Baliang to save people.
Ba Liang took Jiang Wangshu's pulse, although there was still breath left, it was already invisible. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Wangshu described it as withered, like coke.
Thunder and lightning is the will of heaven, this blow down, not to mention the appearance, that is, the internal organs have been shattered, and it is already created to have a glimmer of life.
"Brother, how's it going?" Ba Chuang didn't care about changing his clothes, he was covered in blood, his face was scabbed, and he looked embarrassed.
"Chuang, unless there is a god and man to save him, he has no power to return to heaven." Ba Liang sighed, "There's nothing I can do. ”
The temple of Da Fang, from the king of the fang to the kings and scholars, arrived one by one, and happened to see Ba Liang shaking his head and sighing.
When Ri Qin Boxian heard the bad news, he almost fainted, and Ba Chuang hurriedly supported him.
"Taifu, mourn." Uncle Taishi Qingxian has always been at odds with Ri Tan Boxian, and the two have been-for-tat in the court many times, and now Uncle Qing knows that Ri Tan Boxian is sad in his heart, and he comforts him.
"I'll go to the Taibao, the Taibao has excellent medical skills, he can save Jiang Hou." Ba Chuang was a reckless man, wiping his tears while running out, funny and more sad.
Zhigui Bachuang, with a prominent identity and strong military force, has always had no one in his eyes, but he respects Jiang Wangshu who was born in a reckless manner very much, and only thinks that he is invincible, Jiang Hou can be an enemy; The battle he can't fight, Jiang Hou can fight.
The old lady Bao Qizi had already left the capital and returned to the mountains and forests, and Ba Chuang had to go to Wuling alone.
Ba Liang had no choice but to give Jiang Wangshu some herbs, and the rest of the people left, only Taifu Riqin Boxian was still guarding.
Ri Qin Boxian was guarding Jiang Wangshu's bedside, looking in a trance. In his life, although he was an official to the third duke, he failed completely.
He lost his mother at the age of five, his father at the age of twelve, his wife at the age of thirty, the eldest daughter Ritan Xiaocui died in Lidu at the age of forty-five, the only son Ri Qin Sang died in the battle of the Western Frontier at the age of fifty, and the young daughter Ri Qin Duruo died in Bayang at the age of fifty-two.
Xiang Xi asked Taishi Qing to discuss the matter, three kilometers from the big fang, Xiang Xi trusted the most, that is, his uncle Xiang Qing, no matter how big or small, asked him for advice one by one.
"Fan Di has gathered troops and intends to recover the land in Qianzhong, and the second battle has frustrated the sharp spirit of the Chu people and regained all the lost territory." Uncle Qing said.
"Uncle Qing," Xiang Xi frowned, and said what was on his mind, "If Jiang Hou dies, what if the Chu army comes again?" ”
The people who govern the army of the state are all called Zhigui, and there are only Jianghou Jiang Wangshu, Shuli Xinggong Palace Master Fan Di, Bachuang in the west, and Acacia in the south.
The famous man of the country, only the Marquis of Jiang, so the minister Xi named him the Marquis of Zongjiang, otherwise he only relied on the strength of the Japanese and the virtuous people to disagree with the public, and the other three clans did not nod, how could Jiang Wangshu be the marquis?
"King, the matter has come to this, and I have no choice but to resign myself to fate. Chu Guowu Shengfu is also uncertain about life and death, as long as the husband dies wrongly, Fan Di and Ba Chuang will be able to settle down. Uncle Qing comforted him, but his words were so weak that he didn't even believe it.
The country of Chu is vast and has many people, and has iron-smelting skills, so how can the soldiers in the army be better equipped than the country of Zong? Moreover, the Chu people in the east have repeatedly disturbed the border, and the state of Fang has been defeated again and again. In the battle of Fuling, if it weren't for Jiang Wangshu's fight to the death, it would be inseparable from his husband's mistake, I am afraid that Fuling would be in danger.
If Fuling is lost, the Chu people can drive straight in, and it is difficult to protect the Mandarin capital, and it is difficult to protect the national Zuo of the Mandarin State.
Jiang Wangshu started from the grass, won every battle, and finally became a marquis, which can be described as a national warrior.
Originally, Jiang Wangshu was trying his best to persuade Uncle Qing to persuade her, but Xiang Xi, who had always been obedient to her, finally agreed.
Uncle Qing felt a little guilty, he was always suppressing Jiang Wangshu, cutting his military power, and making a fuss about the marquis, which was just a false position.
However, the great citrus countryman, only Jiang Wangshu is alone. There is a marquis of Jiang in the west, and the Shu people flee from the wind; In the battle of Bayang, Jianghou defeated Sima Hao Meng of Qiguo; In the first battle of Fuling, Jiang Hou and the current martial saint made a mistake, and they were not up or down.
"Wang, Jianghou Ji people have their own heavenly help." Uncle Qing comforted. Uncle Qing didn't know that he had seen Jiang Wangshu burned to charcoal before, and his life was slim, don't say Ba Liang, even if Qi Zi came, he couldn't save Jiang Wangshu.
Two days later, Ba Chuang drove and Qi Zi returned to the capital.
Qi Zi had just left the capital and was about to go back to the old place of Wuling to retire, but halfway through, he was stopped by a grizzled man.
Qi Zi thought it was a strongman who asked for money, so he asked his entourage to give him two arrows and told him to get out, but who would have expected that this strongman didn't know what to do and refused to leave.
Qi Zi was angry and asked his entourage to beat the strongman away, but the entourage did not move, saying that this was not a strongman, but a strong man.
Ba Chuang came to chase Qizi from the capital, did not eat or drink, quickly whipped up, and when he caught up, he was almost out of breath, his throat was hoarse, and he couldn't say a word.
Qi Zi ordered his entourage to feed him water, Ba Chuang drank two sips, took the entourage of the car, pushed Qi Zi into the car, and personally drove back to the capital.
"Ba Chuang, I have made up my mind." Qi Zi thought that it was King Zhi's intention and wanted to invite him back, but he hurriedly defended.
Ba Chuang ignored him, and the whip struck the horse, and the horse was frightened, and stepped up his horse's hooves, all the way back to the capital.
"Ba Chuang, stop, let me down." Qi Zi was angry, how could this reckless man not know what to do.
Ba Chuang finally relented and shouted, "Jiang Hou is dying, you go with me to save people."
As soon as he returned to the capital, Ba Chuang hurriedly led Qi Zi straight to Ba Liang's residence. Qi Zi already knew all the way that Jiang Wangshu had a wrong battle with his husband, and he didn't blame Ba Chuang for being reckless.
Jiang Wangshu was lying on the bed like dead wood, with little life. Qi Zi checked Jiang Wangshu's pulse, rolled his eyelids, and touched some acupoints, his face was solemn.
"Taibao, how's it going?" Ba Chuang looked at Qi Zi and asked.
Qi Zi didn't bother with the salutation, and replied: "Old decay is at a loss."
Ba Chuang was so anxious that he was about to shout, but Ba Liang hurriedly stopped: "Taifu has just rested, you go and wash your face first."
Ri Qin Boxian was in a light sleep, and when he heard Ba Chuang shouting, he opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked at Qizi, he was overjoyed, and asked, "Wu'er Wangshu is still alive, right?"
Qi Zi and Ri Qin Boxian have worked together for many years, and the two are constantly interactive, and now they suddenly have a feeling of sympathy for each other.
There is no greater sorrow than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.
Qi Zi was afraid that Ri Qin Boxian would be sad and angry, and he didn't want to tell him the truth, so he persuaded: "Jiang Hou is still saved, you go and rest first, don't wait for Jiang Hou to wake up and you will be sick in bed again."
Ri Qin Boxian was in tears, and Qi Zi said that if Wangshu was still saved, then he would be saved; Qi Zi asked him to rest, then go and rest first, and when he woke up, Wangshu would be fine. Ba Liang took the initiative to give up the bedroom in the inner room to Ri Qin Boxian, and after Ri Qin Boxian fell asleep, he discussed with Qi Zi how to save people.
A carriage came from the direction of Jiangcheng and was stopped by the guards. The young man driving the car reasoned with the guards, and the old man in the car shouted: "I am a medical saint, from the state of Chu, to meet the king of the fang."
"Which healer?" Zhigui Acacia happened to be riding by, and heard the old man in the car talking about Da Li Yayan, so he also asked back in a half-baked Yayan.
"Yue Guo Pu Miao." The old man in the car replied.
Acacia laughed and asked: "It turned out that the Son of Heaven was a doctor who didn't dare to come out for ten years, who do you want to heal when you come to the capital?"
"I traveled in Wuling, and I heard that Jiang Hou was in danger, so I came to save people." Pu Miao got out of the car and saluted Acacia.
Acacia saw Pu Miao's face clearly, fairy wind bones, dressed in sackcloth, if there is no precedent for treating the dead, it is in line with the image of a medical saint.
"I don't have time to wait, and I ask my son to take me to see Jiang Hou." Pu Miao saluted again.
Acacia has ordered someone to ask for instructions from the king of the orange, Pu Miao is notorious, he does not dare to release people without the permission of the king of the orange, if he is on a business trip, he can't explain.
Lovesickness is not in a hurry, Pu Miao is so anxious that he wants to wear it. Finally, someone came to report, saying that the king of Fang invited the doctor to go, and Acacia personally led Pu Miao to see how he healed Jiang Wangshu.
Jiang Wangshu, Jiang Wangshu, he has heard enough of this name, what Liangzhou is invincible, what country is unparalleled, and what is the world's shocking guest.
As soon as Pu Miao arrived at Baliang's residence with Acacia, King Fang and Uncle Qing arrived. Acacia pouted, Jiang Wangshu was a dying person, so that the temple of the fang country was so moved, how could he not be jealous.
But let you Jiang Wangshu Liangzhou be invincible, let you and Wu Shengfu fight inseparably, there is a quack doctor Pu Miao today, and you can't be healed?
Pu Miao didn't meet King Citrus, he walked straight to Jiang Wangshu's bed, first investigated Jiang Wangshu's complexion, tongue coating, whites of eyes, and injuries, and nodded in his heart.
"King, this is called hope, look at the complexion." Qi Zi explained.
Pu Miaogao glanced at Qi Zi, and then knelt down in Jiang Wang's comfortable mouth to listen to the heartbeat, nodded a little, and the appearance of Chengzhu in his chest made Acacia feel that this quack doctor was still pretending.
"King, this is called smelling, hearing is heard." Qi Zi explained again.
King Fang only nodded, Jiang Hou is a big matter, and he is a layman who does not intervene. Regardless of whether this Pu Miao is a quack doctor or not, he can only treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor, after all, it is rumored that Pu Miao can live and die people, flesh and bones.
Pu Miao took the pulse for Jiang Wangshu again, this king of the orange understands, it is called cutting, and he is looking at the pulse.
"All the internal organs have been shattered," Pu Miao sighed, "but there is still a glimmer of life." ”
Qi Zi gave a salute and asked, "Is Jiang Hou still saved?"
"You quacks can't survive tomorrow," Pu Miao stroked his beard and said, "But with me, even the dead can be brought back to life." ”
Acacia thought that this Pu Miao had a good nature, but his medical skills were not good, and this time he was completely classified as a quack. It's just a shame, Jiang Wangshu's injury, not to mention his quack doctor Pu Miao, even if there is a medical saint in the world, he can't save it.
Xiang Xi Zou frowned, and suddenly felt that it was a big mistake to invite Pu Miao into the city, I was afraid that Jiang Hou's last chance of life would be folded in his hands, so he planned to chase people out.
Qi Zi has served the king of the orange for many years, and he is not weak in observing words and expressions, but seeing that the face of the king is not good, he arched his hand and said: "Wang, Jiang Hou is injured, Ba Liang and I are helpless, rather than this, why not let Mr. Pu give it a try?"
Pu Miao didn't raise his head, handed Qi Zi a piece of cloth, and called: "Boil a jar of water, and then take these medicinal materials."
Qi Zi accepted the cloth, glanced at it cursoryly, and handed it to Ba Liang.
When King Fang saw that Qi Zi had interceded for Pu Miao, he had no choice but to nod.
"You all go out, the old man will perform the art of returning to the sky." Pu Miao issued an eviction order, leaving only the young man who was driving.
King Fang and a group of people had no choice but to go out, Jiang Hou's injury was probably difficult, I only hope that this quack doctor Pu Miao will not treat the living to death.
Ba Liang was busy, ordered someone to boil water, and went to fetch medicinal materials in person.
It was getting late, Pu Miao didn't open the door, and everyone didn't know. Wang Xiangxi has been guarding the door, if Jiang Hou is out of the pool later, this quack Pu Miao Xiu wants to walk out of the door.
"Wang, I'll go and see what this quack doctor is doing." Acacia said.
"Acacia, you just can't hold your breath, you should polish your temperament, when I'm old, Da Fang wants you to support me." Uncle Qing taught. Acacia is his younger brother and uncle of Xiangxi, but he is impatient, how can he afford to take on a big responsibility?
Uncle Qing was still teaching Acacia, the door squeaked open, and Pu Miao and the young man walked out. Without waiting for everyone to ask, Pu Miao spoke: "The old man is hungry and tired, prepare a table of banquets, and must be carved with orange trees, and then prepare a clean mattress."
Acacia has always boasted of being arrogant, this guy is more excessive than himself, he said sarcastically: "It is said that there is no merit, why don't you come to mix a mouthful of food?"
"Someone, prepare a meal for Mr. Pu, and then prepare a guest room." Ba Liang has spoken.
Pu Miao retreated, and King Citrus and his party were impatient to enter the house, only to see Jiang Wangshu sitting in the bathtub, the water vapor was thick, and the house was full of the smell of herbs.
Everyone only glanced at it cursoryly, avoided suspicion, and only let Ba Liang go in to investigate.
Ba Liang went in with a bitter face, came out expressionlessly, and said, "Jiang Hou is taking a medicinal bath, and his breath is a little stronger than before."
The king of the orange is overjoyed, I hope this Pu Miao really has the art of returning to the sky.
In the early morning of the next day, King Fang came again to know if Jiang Hou had any signs of improvement. Jiang Hou single-handedly fought the martial saint of Chu State and saved Fuling, and yesterday Fan Di came to report that the Fang army had recovered Qianzhong, and the country was overjoyed.
All of this depends on Jiang Hou.
As soon as Xiang Xi arrived, he saw Ba Liang's face was bitter, and he wanted to stop talking. Things seemed to be a little bad, and Xiang Xi waited for Ba Liang to speak.
"Wang, Jiang Hou woke up in the middle of the night and screamed, and the minister didn't sleep all night."
"Jiang Hou woke up?" Xiang Xi was overjoyed.
"Now that I'm in pain again, I'm scared all night." Ba Liang's face was as pale as a bitter melon, and his eyes were full of tears, he really didn't look like a man.
"You can rest and go." Xiang Xi rubbed his brows, he didn't think it through, Ba Liang was already timid, and it was really difficult for him to hand over such a big mess to him.
"The minister retired," Ba Liang was relieved and retired.
After a while, he came back with the mattress in his arms, but before Xiang Xi entered the house, he felt strange and asked, "Ba Liang, what are you doing with the mattress?"
Ba Liang was bitter, Jiang Wangshu was in the guest room, and the inner room was given to Taifu, and he stayed in the hall last night. Taifu left early in the morning, and he went back to the house with his mattress, wanting to sleep beautifully.
Ba Chuang received the order of the king of the fang, hurried over, just happened to bump into him, and solved the puzzle for the king of the fang: "Wang, Taibu has a habit of cleanliness, and he would rather not eat the bowl that others have eaten; He would rather not sleep on the mattress that others have slept on. ”
Xiang Xi only knew that Ba Liang was cowardly, but he didn't know that he still had this cleanliness habit, and he suddenly felt funny. Ba Liang was exposed by Ba Chuang, and he was so ashamed that he entered the house with a mattress.
The moisture in the house has dispersed, and only the smell of herbs has entered the nose. The king covered his nose and asked Ba Chuang to go over and take a closer look.
Ba Chuang is a rough man, never shy away from suspicion, looked inside and out in the past, tried to snort again, and said happily: "Wang, there is breathing."
King Fang was overjoyed, let Ba break through the door, and went to see Pu Miao in person, intending to thank him in person.
Outside the capital, a horse-drawn carriage turned from the official road into a dirt road and headed east.
"Master, where are we going?" The young man who was driving asked.
Pu Miao was drunk and muttered: "All the way to the west, across the east of Sichuan, to Emei."
The young man was puzzled and said, "Master, they all say that you are a quack, and you don't argue."
"I told you that Zi Chou has a saying, only mediocre people in the world have no blame and no reputation," Pu Miao took a break and continued, "Do you know the second half of the sentence? ”
"I don't know."
"The only holy doctor in the world is the dead and the living."
"What Zichou said too?"
"Your master said that."
