Chapter 355: Medicinal Wine and Thunder Fordii
In Cao Wei's bedroom, a royal doctor was giving him moxibustion, only to see that Cao Wei's exposed leg joints were red and swollen, and the burning moxa pillars were placed on the acupuncture points on his legs, but this did not seem to relieve his pain, Cao Wei's face that never changed color even in the face of thousands of enemy troops, but now there is no trace of blood, his forehead is also covered with cold sweat, and his clenched teeth also let out painful moans from time to time.
Rheumatism is a disease that is sometimes good and bad, especially when it is greatly affected by the weather, when it is not serious, this disease will not even have a big impact on people, but if it is attacked, the joints of the whole body are sore, especially some large joints are even more painful and unbearable, and some serious patients, even the bones of the joints will be deformed, which can be said to be very terrifying.
Li Zhang and Cao Yu stood aside and quietly watched the imperial doctor's moxibustion, with the burning of the moxa pillar, it finally relieved the pain on Cao Wei's legs, but this method treated the symptoms but not the root cause, so after the imperial doctor put away the tools, he told Cao Wei to pay attention to rest again, and then he went down to decoct the medicine.
"Let Li Zhang, you see you laugh!" Cao Wei's illness at this time was also relieved a lot, and his face finally had a little blood, and he smiled at Li Zhang apologetically, he called Li Zhang's name, but in fact, he didn't treat him as an outsider, in fact, a scene like healing usually doesn't let outsiders in, but he let Li Zhang come, so it can be seen that Cao Wei almost regards Li Zhang as his son and nephew.
"Uncle doesn't have to be like this, do you feel better now?" Li Zhang also changed his title very knowingly.
"It's better, but the joints of my body still feel like I've been cut with a knife, especially in my legs, and sometimes I really want to cut my legs with a knife, so that it can feel better." Cao Wei was lying on the bed at this time and said helplessly, he was a hero in his life, but he didn't expect to be tortured by this kind of illness when he was old.
Seeing Cao Wei's painful appearance, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, he knew some medicine for rheumatism, but it was Western medicine, there was no medicine in the medicine box on the plane, and even if there were, it was now expired, but then he thought of the medicine and wine he brought, so he immediately said: "Uncle, I got a secret recipe, which is said to be very effective for this old cold leg, and I also brought the medicine, do you want to try it?" ”
Hearing Li Zhang's words, Cao Wei also showed a look of embarrassment, after all, how can medicine be taken indiscriminately? However, at this time, Li Zhang hurriedly explained again: "Uncle, don't worry, this medicine is not eaten, but a kind of medicinal wine, which only needs to be applied to the joints." ”
When Cao Wei heard Li Zhang say this, he couldn't refuse his kindness at the moment, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you for your kindness!" ”
At the moment, Li Zhang asked people to bring the medicinal wine he brought, but Cao Yu was still a little uneasy, not that he didn't believe Li Zhang, but that he was worried that if this medicinal wine had any negative effects, it would only make his father more painful, so he proposed to let the imperial doctor take a look, Li Zhang was not sure about the medicinal wine, so he immediately agreed.
After a while, the old imperial doctor who went to decoct the medicine was invited in, and Li Zhang also handed him the medicinal wine, and told him the formula, but the old imperial doctor also nodded after hearing it and said: "The medicinal materials used by Du Wei are very symptomatic, just soak the medicinal materials in the wine and apply them to the body, this is the first time I have heard of this usage, especially the taste of this wine is so strong." ”
Not only did the old imperial doctor smell it, but Cao Wei's father and son were also really frowning at the smell of this medicinal wine, if it was just the smell of wine, the key was that after some medicinal materials were soaked, they exuded all kinds of strange smells, which really didn't smell very good.
"Since Imperial Doctor Huang has said so, then I'll try!" Although Cao Wei felt that the taste of this medicinal wine was unpleasant, he still nodded, so Cao Yu took matters into his own hands, poured the medicinal wine into the palm of his hand according to Li Zhang's words, rubbed it hot, and then wiped it on the joints of Cao Wei's legs.
At first, Cao Wei was nothing, but slowly he felt that the place where the medicinal wine was smeared was warm, and even the previous soreness was greatly relieved, which made him also overjoyed and exclaimed: "It works, I feel much more comfortable!" ”
Hearing Cao Wei say this, Li Zhang was also relieved, it seemed that this medicinal wine was really effective, and Cao Ma screamed in surprise, and then hugged Li Zhang and kept patting his back to thank him, but almost strangled Li Zhang.
The medicinal wine is for external use, and the medicine decocted by the imperial doctor is taken internally, and the two are not in conflict, while Cao Wei was drinking the medicine, Li Zhang pulled the Huang imperial doctor aside and said again: "Huang imperial doctor, I heard that Lei Gongteng has a miraculous effect on the old cold legs, I don't know if you have any in this medicine?" ”
"I've heard people say before that Du Wei understands medical skills, but now it seems to be true." Imperial Doctor Huang couldn't help but stroke his beard when he heard Li Zhang's words, "Although Tripterygium Wilfordii has a miraculous effect on the old cold legs, this thing is highly poisonous, so we don't dare to use it more, for example, in my medicine, although there is a little Tripterygium wilfordii, but it also adds a lot of antidotes. ”
"I know that Tripterygium wilfordii is poisonous, but as far as I know, the poison of Tripterygium wilfordii is generally concentrated in the inner and outer layers of skin, as long as these two layers of skin are removed, its toxicity will be greatly reduced, I don't know if Imperial Doctor Huang knows?" Li Zhang spoke again at the moment, this thing was also found by him from the information, in fact, there was Tripterygium wilford in his medicinal wine, but he found that the Tripterygium wilfordii bought from the pharmacy had a highly poisonous skin, so he also personally handled it for a long time before he dared to use it.
"And this method?" Imperial Doctor Huang really didn't know that in fact, the thunder wilfordii they were using now was indeed skiny, which also made it extremely toxic, so they didn't dare to use it more.
"This is indeed true, if Imperial Doctor Huang doesn't believe it, you can go back and test it, Tripterygium wilfordii has a miraculous effect on old cold legs, and increasing the dosage may be able to cure this disease." Li Zhang spoke again at the moment, of course, he can't guarantee whether it can be cured, after all, the disease of old cold legs is the most difficult to eradicate, but it is definitely no problem to alleviate the condition.
Imperial Doctor Huang also hurriedly wrote it down at the moment, after all, the medicinal wine that Li Zhang brought just now was more useful than his moxibustion, and he seemed to be very clear about the use of Lei Gongteng, which made him secretly wonder, could it be that they had really used it wrong before?
Originally, Li Zhang came to discuss martial arts with Cao Wei, but Cao Wei's rheumatism attack, and after drinking the medicine, he soon felt a little sleepy, so Li Zhang had to tell the other party to rest well, and then came out with Cao Mata.
Cao Yu and Li Zhang haven't seen each other for several years, so they immediately asked people to prepare a banquet, and then the two sat opposite each other and began to talk about some old things, mainly some things when they were in Gyeongju, and Li Zhang also inquired about the recent situation of Jinshan and Di Qing, although they also had occasional correspondence, the content of the letter was limited after all.
Jinshan has now become the most famous wealthy merchant in Gyeongju, backed by the big tree of the Cao family father and son, and the people on the official face do not dare to embarrass him, and Jinshan has the means and ability, and the border city is built by him for Li Zhang, now he is mainly a middleman, buying silk and porcelain from the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, and then exchanging furs, meat, horses, etc. with foreign tribes, of course, in private, Jinshan also does some dishonorable business, such as helping the Great Song army deal with some spoils.
Di Qing has also been promoted to the battalion commander, and there are five hundred soldiers under him, this is not Cao Yu's care, but Di Qing fought bravely, and made great contributions several times, if it wasn't for him to use military merits to atone for the crime, maybe the position would be higher, even Cao Wei was full of praise for Di Qing, thinking that this young man would definitely become a generation of famous generals in the future, and I can't praise Cao Wei's vision here, whether it is Li Yuanhao or Di Qing, he sees people very accurately.
"How is the Musketeer Army, I heard that you guys are out again some time ago?" Li Zhang asked again at this time, he had been paying attention to the movements of the musketeer army, but he didn't know some secrets in the army.
"The northwest is very peaceful now, since the last war almost wiped out the party, no one dares to make trouble in our Great Song Dynasty, but some time ago the Tubo people in Xizhou were in turmoil, we were transferred to quell the chaos, and the Tubo people who fought in the first war fled in despair, but unfortunately the court didn't let us chase any further, otherwise maybe we could beat Longyou down!" When Cao Mata said the end, he couldn't help but slap his thigh with hatred.
After Liu E took power, he had a relatively conservative attitude towards the military and politics, and politically he mainly let the whole country recuperate, after all, Zhao Heng was too troublesome before, which greatly damaged the vitality of the country, and the military was also more conservative, as long as the enemy did not violate the border, as for opening up the territory and expanding the territory, Liu E had no idea about this at all.
"The court is indeed more conservative, maybe there will be changes in the future." Li Zhang also sighed at the moment, in fact, not only Liu E was conservative, but the ministers in the court were also very conservative, especially many civil officials were worried that if they fought a war, they would make the generals bigger, so they were also restrained everywhere, and they did not give the generals a chance to expand their territory at all.
"I hope so, but our northwest is pretty good, Brother Huyan is even more idle in Hebei, I heard him say that the Liao State has been in civil strife in the past few years, and there is no time to go south, so their Hebei Musket Army can't even find the opportunity to fight, so they can only practice desperately." When Cao Ma mentioned Huyan's trustworthiness, his face also showed a bit of schadenfreude, although the two of them were good friends, but they were both generals of the musketeer army, so they naturally had a comparative mind, and now it was obvious that he had the upper hand.
Li Zhang also knew the situation on Huyan Shouxin's side, because Huyan Shouxin wrote back to complain, but if the Liao people didn't go south, he had no choice.
"By the way, Brother Li, you asked me to pay attention to the situation on the party members' side, and there was a news from there recently, which made me feel a little uneasy." At this time, Cao Yu suddenly thought of something, and spoke again at the moment. <
