Chapter 30: Power oppresses
The imperial doctor's surname is Xu, and he is subordinate to the Imperial Physician's Office, which is similar to a hospital dedicated to the imperial family, and of course, the emperor also sent physicians from the Imperial Physician's Office to treat close ministers, and the Imperial Physician's Office is under the management of the Taichang Temple. There is a set of "one person, two people, two main medicines, and hundreds of doctors." ”
Doctors were a very respectable group in ancient times, and scholars in ancient times often said, "If you are not a good person, you are a good doctor." "The first doctor heals the country, and the second heals the people." Such remarks compare the important ministers of the society with the doctors who hang the pot to help the world.
Perhaps in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were examples of the emperor dying the imperial doctor with a rod in anger, but before the Song Dynasty, it was not the emperor Lao Tzu who had the final say, but the Son of Heaven and the scholars ruled the world together. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not believe this sentence, so he was saddened and overthrown by the Guanlong nobles and the scholar class monopolized by the Shandong scholars.
Lang Zhong, who can read and prescribe medicine, is naturally also a person who belongs to the first level of scholars, not to mention the high-grade imperial doctor!
Therefore, at this moment, Imperial Doctor Xu only had the shame of not being able to do his medical skills, but he did not feel the slightest fear of the consequences of not being able to treat Li Ke.
In ancient times, when medical treatment was extremely underdeveloped, it was even more common for a son to die young, and Song Shenzong of the Song Dynasty gave birth to fourteen sons, eight of whom died young, and he didn't see which crime could be cured?
Hearing Li Yuan's sentence "Can you see it?" At these words, Imperial Physician Xu was slightly stunned, and looked up at Li Yuan in surprise, the royal family has always been weak. For the third son of the emperor, Li Ke, Li Shimin's biological father has seen very few times...
Every emperor is basically a ruthless personality, which is very much in line with the standards of scumbags in later generations, except for Ming Xiaozong, of course, after all, he only has one wife.
"If Your Majesty wants to see it, there is nothing wrong with it, but Weichen is afraid that the King of Han is suffering from an epidemic..."Imperial Doctor Xu gritted his teeth, sighed, and said: "The epidemic in the medical book mostly occurs in autumn, and autumn is the season when it turns from warm to cold..."
King Han is Li Ke's title, and the current Li Ke is not the well-known Wu Wang Ke in later generations, and he will change his title to become King Wu in the eleventh year of Zhenguan.
"Plague? Concubine Yang and the three princes are really fatal..."A concubine sneered.
"What a smart child the third prince usually is, how did he suffer from this terminal illness, if he gets this disease, there is no way to live, Concubine Yang's life is really bitter."
"In my hometown, there was a seven or eight-year-old child who was infected with the epidemic, killed a family of five, and was finally burned clean by the county government."
......
Hearing the words of the concubine became more and more unpleasant, at first glance it sounded concerned and considerate, but the tone of the speech was without exception, it was all schadenfreude, the city gate was on fire, and the city was not panicked.
The eldest grandson Wujian phoenix's eyes were slightly angry, his pretty face was tense, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Shut up"
Married into the Qin Wangfu at the age of thirteen, and has been a wife for so many years, how can it be possible with only kindness and no means?
Under the majestic gaze of the eldest grandson, the concubine of good things was bored with herself, covered her red lips with a small fan, pouted her small mouth, and soon fell silent.
"Imperial Doctor Xu, you continued, is Ke'er suffering from an epidemic? Is there a way to heal? "After the eldest grandson Wujian reprimanded the concubine, he listened to Imperial Doctor Xu's words very carefully, and grasped the word 'fear', which means that it is possible, but not necessarily.
Imperial Doctor Xu helped Chang Ran, his brows were furrowed and loosened, he licked his dry lips, and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the minister is not alarmist, usually ordinary people go down with a decoction, rest for a few hours, and sweat, this disease is half cured, but the third prince has a high fever that does not go away, according to the case control in previous years, if the decoction does not work, it will be an epidemic nine times out of ten." ”
"And the most contagious of this epidemic is the elderly and children, the emperor is very old, even if the children and grandchildren are touching around the knee, but they must not disregard safety."
The eldest grandson nodded in agreement, and said softly: "What Imperial Doctor Xu said is reasonable, father-in-law, this matter is indeed harmful to you, and my daughter-in-law will go to see it on your behalf..."
But before the eldest grandson finished speaking, he heard a sneer of 'hehe'.
The sound is long and enduring.
"Imperial Doctor Xu, I have read basic medical books in the past, and I don't dare to agree with what you said." Li Yuan said lightly.
In his previous life, he had studied for a few years, and he was frail and sickly, so he would catch a cold several times a year, and he had a deeper understanding of colds.
Colds are divided into common cold and influenza. The scientific name of the common cold is upper respiratory tract infection, and there are many reasons, such as cold, climate abrupt change, excessive fatigue, etc., which may lead to the rapid reproduction of germs in the nasal cavity, because the mucous membrane secreted by the mucosal glands of the respiratory tract contains lysozyme, which can kill germs, so under stimulation, a large amount of mucus is secreted, and nasal mucus is produced.
Influenza, on the other hand, is not an ordinary bacterial infection, but an influenza infection, similar to the SARS virus.
The influenza virus is the main culprit of the epidemic, and Li Yuan does not believe that there is a way to treat this disease in ancient times, and the only way to deal with it is to isolate and burn to prevent more people from being infected. In the memory of his previous life, Li Ke did not die young, so his sentence is justified:
"Imperial Physician Xu judged that Ke'er had a plague based on the fact that Ke'er's typhoid fever had not subsided, but what I saw in the medical book was that a strong person with a strong body often got better in an hour or two when he suffered from wind cold, and it was common for a weak person to suffer from wind and cold for several days. Doctor Xu, this is a misdiagnosis! ”
Imperial Physician Xu's beard trembled when he heard such a 'paradox', if it was an ordinary person, he would have left with his sleeves and scolded non-stop, but it was the Emperor Taishang in front of him, so he had no choice but to suppress his temperament, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been practicing medicine for forty-three years, and there are no less than 1,000 cases of typhoid fever, such as... I have never heard of such a theory, and I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is this medical book? ”
Of course, Imperial Physician Xu has not heard of modern medical theories, Li Yuan's heart is like a mirror, since ancient times, most of Langzhong has been reading from the book, and the things left by the ancestors have not improved at all, and they are all based on experience.
However, experience cannot be eaten as food, let alone scientific scrutiny. Of course, Li Yuan is not belittling Chinese medicine, but Chinese and Western medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages. Have you ever seen a person in later generations who went to Chinese medicine for a doctor with a cold?
Moreover, Imperial Physician Xu also has selfish intentions in his heart, that is, he exaggerates Li Ke's condition, and if he dies at that time, he will not be too angry with him, after all, medicine doctors don't die!
This is something that everyone knows by heart, and it is exposed naked by Li Yuan, where will Imperial Doctor Xu's face go? How will you mix in the apricot grove in the future?
So Li Yuan said: "I read this medical book casually, but I can't remember what the name is." But you don't joke, do you think I'm lying to you? ”
Imperial Doctor Xu didn't dare to answer, this is dead talk, to say that to believe is to smash his own signboard, to say that if he doesn't believe it, to smash the emperor's signboard, he doesn't dare to do any of it! So his face was red for a while, blue for a while, but no matter how many grievances he had, he had to press it into his own heart.
"I'm sorry, Jun Father (Dad) is so shameless and uses power to oppress people." Li Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, of course he knew how many catties and taels he had, if he really told Imperial Doctor Xu about medical theories, he could say that he would die, but he was a little good, he was the father of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to stand up to him, at least not on the surface!
