Volume 5 False Myth 27, Nursery Rhymes Show Prestige
History commented that Murong Ke can treat things with humility, consult the good way, and deal with talents, so that people do not exceed the position, because Chen Caozhi is a Jin envoy, and he came here inexplicably, Murong Ke has doubts, so he said to test Chen Caozhi, to see how Chen Caozhi responds, and when he finds out that Chen Caozhi is indeed worthy of his name, he has a splendid chest, Murong Ke immediately changed his face, and was very respectful to Chen Caozhi, the two of them discussed both history and current affairs, and the more they talked, the more they talked, the more they integrated, during which Murong De came in and presented a letter to Murong Ke, and Murong Ke showed the letter in front of Chen Caozhi to watch, This is the news that the Yan State sent back in Chang'an to send back the Jin envoy Chen Caozhi in the Qin State, Fu Jian and Wang Meng both wanted to keep Chen Caozhi in Chang'an, but Chen Caozhi resolutely refused-
When Murong Ke read the letter, Murong De talked with Chen Caozhi and asked his disciple Shen Chiqian how his condition was. Chen Caozhi: "Epilepsy is a lifelong disease that does not heal, Chiqian must take Wushisan all the year round, and the Wushisan improved by my teacher Mr. Zhichuan has no other troubles, but after taking it, you can't eat hot food, you have to drink cold wine, and you don't like to be quiet, which may be a disadvantage." β
Murong De said with a smile: "Five stone scatter is worth a lot of money, which is difficult for a poor family to bear, but Wu Xing Shen is a rich man in Jiangzuo, how can he care about this!" β
Chen Caozhi said: "Speaking of this, I think of an interesting anecdote, the Nandu family is scattered, the noble ministers and wealthy families take more stone medicine, all called stone hair, need to be scattered, there are sick fever, non-rich people, Yiyun service stone fever, when people are more suspicious of its fraud as a rich body, there is a person in Jiankang Qingxi door to lie down, like a turn to call the heat, to be watched, the companion is strange, and the report says: 'I stone hair. The companion said, 'When will you take the stone, and now you will get the stone?' He said: 'I had a stone in the rice in the city yesterday, and I will eat it today'. β
Murong De slapped his palms and laughed, Murong Ke also smiled, put away the letter, and said: "The wind of Wu people being dispersed is so prosperous! β
Chen Caozhi said: "Before the troubled times of Shi Zhao, wasn't it popular in the Central Plains to be dispersed, such as the Cui family and the Pei family, which are also dispersed so far." β
Cui's, Pei's, Du's, and Wei's are the big families who stayed in the Central Plains and did not cross to the south, and the Murong clan deliberately wooed these Han people, and married these Han people with the nobles of the clan, and the Xianbei nobles were also proud of wearing Hanfu and speaking Chinese, and the Northern Wei Tuoba clan 50 years later was even more forbidden to speak Xianbei language, all copied the Han system, and even the Xianbei surname was changed to the Han surname, which was completely sinicized, which shows that the Xianbei people have a strong inferiority complex for the Han people culturally-
Murong Ke nodded and said: "In today's Yecheng, there are not only Han people who are scattered, but also many Hu people who are dispersed. β
Chen Caozhi said indifferently: "Wushi Powder is a powder for typhoid fever, which can not only cure typhoid fever, but also has miraculous effects on many miscellaneous diseases. β
Murong De said: "Chen Xima is a master of Ge Xianshi, and his medical skills are exquisite, my fourth brother has relapsed with old sores recently, and his health is not good. β
Chen Caozhi's official residence was the crown prince's horse, and Murong De was commensurate with the official position of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was a tribute to Chen Caozhi.
Chen Caozhi glanced at Murong Ke, who was extremely tall, and said, "The old sores in the past are probably not the main cause of King Taiyuanββ"
When Murong Ke heard this, he shrugged his eyebrows, looked at Chen Caozhi, and said in a respectful tone: "Please ask Chen Xima to treat Xiao Wang." "Murong Ke has a hidden disease, he is deeply worried, Chen Caozhi's words hit his mind, if Chen Caozhi can really cure him, it is not too much to pay 10,000 gold.
Chen Caozhi said: "I am not a person who practices medicine, and I have no freedom, how can I be in the mood to treat the king." β
The brothers Murong Ke and Murong De glanced at each other, both smiling, and Murong Ke said: "Chen Xima couldn't heal Xiao Wang when he was in my Yan Kingdom, and he won't have the opportunity to ask for advice when he returns to the country in the future." β
Murong Ke indicated that he would repatriate Chen Caozhi and the others to return to the country, of course, not immediately, but only when he managed to disintegrate the Qin-Jin alliance, so he was willing to give Chen Caozhi this promise.
Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "King Jinkou Yuyan of Taiyuan should do his best to heal the king. Sitting across from Murong Ke, taking a pulse for Murong Ke, concentrating for a long time, he slowly asked: "How is the king's diet recently, could it be that the amount of eclipse has increased compared to the past?" β
Murong Ke nodded and said, "What Chen Xima said is extremely true, Ke's appetite increases, his body is emaciated, and his spirit is not good. β
Chen Caozhi asked: "How much thirst and urine?" β
Murong Ke's expression was solemn and he responded, "Yes." β
Chen Caozhi said: "This is clearly diabetes, which was known as the disease of thirst in ancient times, but diabetes is not completely equivalent to thirst, there is a difference, this disease will cause impotence." Said: "This thirst-quenching disease also, the king is overworked, the kidney yin deficiency, the pulse is weak, and the "Difficult Scripture" cloud: "Those who damage their lungs benefit their qi, those who damage their hearts adjust their camps, those who damage their spleens adjust their diet, suitable for their cold and temperature, those who damage their livers are slowed down, and those who damage their kidneys benefit their essence, and this method of treating damage is also", the king is weak in the liver and kidneys, and taking Wushi San should have an immediate effect, as for the old sores that do not heal for a long time, this is also because of the disease of thirst, the symptoms of thirst disappear, and the old sores are also recovered. β
Chen Caozhi immediately wrote a hand, there are purple quartz, white quartz, red stone grease, stone stalactite, stone, and some other auxiliary drugs, Chen Caozhi's five-stone powder recipe is indeed improved, the toxic stone sulfur is replaced, replaced by stone, and there are some herbs that have a little effect on diabetes, Murong Ke takes this powder, at first he will feel that the condition has been alleviated, and the five stones have an aphrodisiac effect, for Murong Ke, who is only forty years old and has a group of wives and concubines, can be described as a long drought and sweet rain, and he will think that Chen Caozhi's medical skills are like gods, The real illness will attack after half a year, maybe Murong Ke's physique is extraordinary, but it will inevitably attack in a year at most, and he will not be able to afford to be sick at that time-
Chen Caozhi said: "The king can hand over this prescription to your Guotai Hospital for consideration, and if there is any improper use of medicine, you can add or subtract it as appropriate." β
Murong Ke thanked Chen Caozhi and ordered someone to solemnly put away the five stone scattered formulas, no matter how wise the great man in history is, he will be confused when he is riddled with illness.
At this time, it was reported that Shangshu Zuo Cheng Shenshao came from Yecheng to deliver the decree, and Murong Ke went to greet the decree and asked Murong De to accompany Chen Caozhi.
Chen Caozhi's original heart was finally let go at this moment, Duan Zhao did not disgrace his mission, Yecheng nursery rhymes have been spread to the palace of Yan Kingdom, and the edict that came at this time must be to summon Murong Ke back to Yecheng.
Sure enough, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Shenshao brought the edict of the young emperor Murong Wei, and ordered Murong Ke, the king of Taiyuan, and Murong Chui, the king of Wu, to return to Beijing immediately after receiving the decree, and there were major state affairs to discuss-
Murong Ke was very surprised and asked Shen Shao: "Shen Zuocheng, what's the big deal in Yezhong?" β
Shen Shao said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Your Majesty and the ministers think that since last year, there have been many floods and droughts in the territory, and it is not suitable to use troops, so they summoned Dazai's class to return to Beijing." β
It is true that there are many floods and droughts in the territory of Yan State, but it is not the flood and drought that occurred after Murong Ke sent troops to Luoyang, there was no objection at the beginning of the army, at this time, it was only a hundred miles away from Luoyang, but he hurriedly issued an edict to the division, and something big must have happened in Yezhong, but Shangshu Zuo Cheng Shen Shao is the confidant of Taifu Murong Ping, and he can't hear any news from Shen Shao's mouth, it is certain that this matter is related to Murong Ping-
Murong Ke remained silent, calmly received the order, and just said: "King Wu is still in Yanshi, I will immediately order someone to summon him to Gong County, and then return to Beijing with Shen Zuocheng." β
Since Murong Ke agreed to return to Yecheng in accordance with the order, Shen Shao naturally had nothing to say.
At noon, Murong Ke invited Shen Shao and Chen Caozhi, Xi Bao and other envoys of Qin and Jin, Xi Bao learned that he was going to Yecheng again, it was really unpleasant, and his face was full of sadness.
In the evening, there was a secret letter in Yecheng, Murong Ke sent troops outside, how could he have no ears and eyes in the capital, and when he took a look at the letter, Murong Ke's face sank like water, his heart was turbulent, and he pondered for a long time-
At about night, Murong Ling accompanied his father Murong Chui to the Gong County Office, Murong Chui received an urgent letter from his brother Murong Ke, and rushed to it overnight, and after reading the secret letter, Murong Chui frowned, looked at the fourth brother Murong Ke, and said: "This nursery rhyme must have been secretly instigated by someone to put my two brothers to death, and the fourth brother thought that this would be someone's poisonous plan?" β
Murong Ke sighed: "The weight of the Taifu, the three lights, if it is not his own, Lingyao will be at a loss, and the corpse will be ruined!" β
When Murong Jun was dying, because the prince Murong Wei was young, he entrusted Murong Ke, Murong Ping and Mu Yugen, Murong Wei was the emperor, Murong Ke was the Dazai, Murong Ping was the Taifu, and Mu Yugen was the Taishi, Mu Yugen was beheaded because of rebellion, and now the two powerful ministers of the Yan State are Murong Ke and Murong Ping, Murong Ke is in charge of the army, although the power is important, and Murong Ping has the support of the Empress Dowager Ke Hun clan, and the power cannot be underestimated, so Murong Ke usually has great respect for Murong Ping, although he is in power, but everything must be consulted with Murong Ping, Unexpectedly, Murong Ping was still unwilling to take away Murong Ke's power-
Rao is Murong Ke is wise, and he would never have thought that the nursery rhymes of Yecheng's "Brother to Brother and Brother" and "Wu Wangxing Dayan" were from Chen Caozhi's strategy, because Chen Caozhi was still in Gongxian County at this time, and the nursery rhymes should have been circulated a month ago, so both Murong Ke and Murong Chui thought that this was the conspiracy of Murong Ping and the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun clan.
Murong Chui was silent, Murong Ling was young and angry, and said angrily: "Father, fourth uncle, the master deceives people too much, I might as well go back to the teacher Yecheng and punish the traitor and the Qingjun!" β
Murong lowered his voice and said, "Shut up, Fourth Uncle Ru has his own plans." β
Murong Ke said: "If the wall is inside, I will be humiliated from the outside, since the Taishi does not allow me, if I fight with it, the government will be chaotic, it is better for me to return to Yecheng, offer the chapter ribbon of Dazai and Da Sima, and retire from the official position, so that the country may be peaceful." β
Murong hurriedly said: "Why did the fourth brother say this, the fourth brother is the pillar of the country, the first emperor entrusted him to do the things of the Duke of Zhou, how can the fourth brother be discouraged and entrust the government to the hands of mediocrity!" The fourth brother is highly respected and virtuous, how can he be slandered by two nursery rhymes! β
Murong Ke pondered for a long time and said, "Withdraw the troops and leave for Yecheng tomorrow." β
