Chapter 993: Ginseng
"Does the colt have a way to hang his life? That's great! When Sun Simiao heard Li Xiu's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, if it was someone else, he might still be a little suspicious, but he believed in Li Xiu's words very much, although Li Xiu's medical skills were completely different from him, but they would work wonders every time.
"It can't be said to be a prescription for hanging your life, it's just a special medicine, I'll let you take a look!" Li Xiu spoke again, and after speaking, he went out and ordered someone to go to his carriage and take his medicine box from the car, because he had heard that Empress Changsun was critically ill, and Li Xiu also hoped to help, so he brought the medicine box over, and there were some precious medicinal materials in it.
After a while, Li Xiu's medicine box was sent over, and then I saw him take out a long box from the medicine box, and when he opened it, he revealed a medicinal herb that looked like a human body and was full of roots underneath, which was the ginseng known as the king of herbs in later generations.
"Ginseng?" When Sun Simiao saw the ginseng in the box, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The use of ginseng in traditional Chinese medicine is very early, and there is a record of ginseng in the "Shennong's Materia Medica", but for a long time, although ginseng is a valuable medicinal material, it is not particularly valued, at least there is no status in later generations, until the Ming Dynasty, ginseng is regarded as the "king of herbs", and the efficacy is constantly excavated, resulting in the soaring price of ginseng in Liaodong, and North Korea is taking Korean ginseng as a tribute, which has caused the myth of ginseng, which has been passed down to later generations.
"Yes, it's ginseng, and this is still an old ginseng from Liaodong, even if it doesn't have a thousand years of growth, there are still hundreds of years, and it's the most suitable for hanging your life!" Li Xiu opened his mouth at this time.
This ginseng was given to him by Su Dingfang, it is said that he snatched it from Goguryeo, although in this period of the Tang Dynasty, ginseng is not as famous as later generations, but it is also a very valuable medicinal material, not to mention that the shape of this ginseng looks very human-shaped, which is also extremely rare in ginseng, so he gave it to Li Xiu as a gift, and was treasured by Li Xiu.
"Ginseng can also hang your life?" An old imperial doctor said in disbelief at this time, "The old man remembers that there is a record in the "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra", saying that ginseng is the main tonic of the five organs, has the effect of calming the spirit, calming the soul, stopping palpitations, removing evil spirits, brightening the eyes, and being happy and intellectual, but it is not said that it can hang his life? ”
This old imperial doctor's medical skills are exquisite, and he is second to none among the imperial doctors, and he opened his mouth to tell the record in Shennong's Materia Medica, which also caused other imperial doctors around to nod their heads, and then looked at Li Xiu suspiciously, after all, they all know ginseng, and some people have even used it, but they have never used ginseng to hang their lives.
"Ginseng can indeed hang people's lives, I can guarantee that!" Li Xiu is very sure that there are countless legends about ginseng in later generations, the most famous of which is that ginseng can hang the breath of a dying person, so that the other party can confess his last words, and the medicine of later generations has also proved that ginseng does have a miraculous effect on dying patients, and even ginseng can be made into injections for the first aid of patients.
"I believe in the pony, so I use this ginseng, but I don't know how to use it?" Sun Simiao made a decisive decision at this time, knowing Li Xiu for so many years, if he was not sure, he would never take it out, so Sun Simiao chose to believe him.
"Slice and decoction!" Li Xiu immediately said, in fact, the fastest and best effect is intramuscular injection, but unfortunately there is no condition at all now, it can only be used orally, and it should also have an effect.
When Sun Simiao heard this, he immediately took the ginseng, and then asked people to boil the medicine, as for the ginseng, he personally handled it, and it was not until this time that Li Xiu knew that the ginseng slices could not be sliced with a knife made of metal, but with a bamboo knife, otherwise it would affect the effect of the ginseng, which made Li Xiu also feel eye-opening.
After a while, the ginseng soup was fried, but those imperial doctors didn't dare to send it, it is estimated that they still have some faith in the ginseng, and they are afraid that if something happens to them, they will also take responsibility, which makes Sun Simiao also a little angry, and he wants to take the medicine himself and send it in.
However, at this time, Li Xiu took the medicine first and said: "Daochang Sun, I brought the medicine, why don't we send it in together!" ”
"Good!" Sun Simiao trusted Li Xiu 100%, and immediately nodded and agreed, so Li Xiu took the medicine, and the two went inside one after the other, only to see Li Shimin sitting on the edge of the bed with a sad expression, holding Li Zhi and his son who were crying in his arms, Li Tai and Li Zhen and others stood by the bed with tears, and the eldest grandson Wuji also hid next to him and secretly wiped his tears, while Li Chengqian was still standing there staring at the eldest grandson queen in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking?
"Why are you here?" Li Shimin saw Li Xiu and Sun Simiao come in together at this time, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then sighed and asked.
"Your Majesty, the concubine brought a medicine to make the queen wake up temporarily, and now the medicine has been decocted, so the concubine personally sent it!" Without waiting for Li Xiu to speak, Sun Simiao explained for him.
Hearing Sun Simiao's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Xiu again, and then asked in a low tone, "Are you sure?" ”
"If nothing else, it should be able to bring the queen to her senses!" Li Xiu nodded with great certainty.
Li Shimin's trust in Li Xiu is no less than Sun Simiao's trust in Li Xiu, and when he heard his words, he immediately stood up and took the medicine with his own hands, and then asked people to help Empress Changsun's and feed her spoonful by spoonful.
The effect of this old mountain ginseng from Liaodong is indeed strong, not long after Empress Changsun drank the ginseng soup, I saw that she was really awake, and her face was a little more bloody, and even when she saw Li Shimin and a few children beside the bed, she said in a somewhat weak voice: "Your Majesty, why are you all here?" ”
Li Shimin didn't expect Empress Eldest Sun to wake up so quickly, and he didn't react for a while, and when he heard her words, he stepped forward excitedly and said, "Guanyin, you finally woke up, I ...... I ......"
When he said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but choke up and couldn't continue, his eyes became red, and he said that men don't flick when they have tears, but if it really comes to the sad place, which man can do it?
Empress Eldest Sun had just woken up and didn't know her situation, but when she saw Li Shimin's expression and looked at the children around the bed, she seemed to understand something all of a sudden?
