Chapter 59: Zhongjing's sigh
"Let's continue to discuss how to deal with this plague!" Lu Zhi interrupted everyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yes, the most important thing now is how to deal with the plague, you must know that this is Luoyang, if the plague spreads, then the consequences will be very serious.
If it's lucky, maybe it's a punishment or something, if it gets too serious in the end, I'm afraid it's still easy to say if you don't report your official position, and if you lose your life, then it's really nothing.
So even if Miao Tong and others from the Tai Hospital look at Xin Yue unpleasantly, they can only hold back.
Xin Yue also noticed the hostility of Miao Tong and the others towards him at this time, but he didn't take it to heart, these people are just strangers, maybe there will be an intersection after this time, not necessarily!
"Lord Lu, I don't know how the epidemic is now?" Xin Yue only knew that there was a plague, but he didn't know how serious the situation was, so it was better to ask first.
Hearing Xin Yue ask about the epidemic, and it happened that this was also something that everyone just wanted to discuss, so Lu Zhi first told everyone the first statistics, "The plague was discovered last night, and today it was confirmed as a plague, but fortunately, the imperial court acted quickly, and immediately sent troops to block the place where the epidemic occurred, that is, the three streets to the west from here." Twenty-three people have been confirmed to be ill, 62 others are suspected to be infected, and a total of 764 residents in several streets are prohibited from staying at home. ”
Then Zhang Zhongjing suddenly added: "I checked on those patients before, and found that most of them had symptoms of hot and thirsty, headaches, retching and mania, dizziness, and missight, and in severe cases, vomiting blood and convulsions of limbs. ”
Hearing Zhang Zhongjing's diagnosis, Xin Yue and everyone were confused, where did he know the description of so many symptoms from later generations, and the most contact was what bacteria, viral infections and the like, of course, I also knew about the symptoms of Chinese medicine, but most of them were about bruises and sprains, after all, Xin Yue studied Chinese medicine so that injuries in the wild could be treated at any time, and he didn't know much about plague and the like.
However, listening to Zhang Zhongjing's description, Xin Yue still vaguely remembered that such symptoms were somewhat similar to being infected by the warm virus, but he didn't dare to say whether it was Xin Yue or not.
Although the other Miao Tong and a few people could understand, they didn't dare to say anything, their usual job was to manage medicinal materials or something, and they didn't understand anything about curing diseases and saving people. Miao Tong didn't understand a few people, let alone Lu Zhi, he only had to prick up his ears and listen.
Finally, Zhang Zhongjing concluded: "I judge that this plague is caused by the invasion of the internal organs by the poisonous and evil qi of the epidemic, and the external channeling of the muscle surface, and the burning of qi and blood. ”
Hearing that Zhang Zhongjing even found the cause of the disease, isn't it easy to treat?
So Lu Zhi happily grabbed Zhang Zhongjing's hand and asked, "Is there a treatment plan?" ”
I saw Zhang Zhongjing think about it for a while and said, "I have a side that I may be able to try." ”
"Then take it out quickly!" Miao Tong and the others, who couldn't wait for a long time, hurriedly shouted, you must know that the medicinal materials are in their hands, and they naturally have the right to speak at this time, but they don't dare to be presumptuous with Lu Zhi here.
Xin Yue knew that since Zhang Zhongjing had a prescription, it would definitely be impossible to convey it casually, otherwise if he made a mistake, it would cause human life, so Xin Yue came to Lu Zhi and suggested to Lu Zhi: "Lord Lu might as well ask someone to prepare pen and ink, so that Brother Zhang can write out the prescription so that it is convenient to catch the medicine according to the prescription." ”
Lu Zhi listened to Xin Yue's suggestion, so he hurriedly asked someone to prepare pen and ink and blank bamboo slips.
Xin Yue didn't know that his little suggestion offended Miao Tong and the others again, they didn't want Zhang Zhongjing to write a prescription, so that they could do tricks and embezzle when they dispatched medicinal materials, and now that they had a basis, then they wouldn't dare to act blatantly.
Where did Xin Yue think that he would get a small suggestion that blocked other people's financial routes, making Miao Tong and others hate themselves even more, but if they knew, Xin Yue would do the same, and he might have to do it even more, after all, Xin Yue hated these officials who made disasters and fortunes the most, and there were many such things in his previous life, but he was reported by everyone in various ways, so such unhealthy tendencies gradually decreased, and he didn't expect to encounter them again when he came here.
However, it is destined that Xin Yue doesn't know now, and his attention now is on Zhang Zhongjing's prescription.
I saw what Zhang Zhongjing wrote: six coins of raw gypsum, two coins of Zhimu, one and two coins of boiled licorice, and three coins of japonica rice.
Looking at this recipe, Xin Yue couldn't help but be surprised, this, isn't this the recipe in Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" in the future? Although Xin Yue couldn't remember all the contents of "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", when he saw this prescription, Xin Yue still remembered that this was the famous "White Tiger Soup" Chinese medicine prescription in the Treatise on Typhoid Fever.
Knowing that Zhang Zhongjing wrote the famous "White Tiger Soup", Xin Yue couldn't help but have an idea, thinking of another recipe related to White Tiger Soup in the "Warm and Hot Sutra Explanation" written by Shen Hanqing, a late Qing Dynasty physician he had read in his previous life, and couldn't help but stop everyone who was about to take Zhang Zhongjing's prescription to grab the medicine, and then said: "Wait a minute, I have a little addition, I don't know what Brother Zhang thinks?" ”
"You say." Zhang Zhongjing doesn't mind, for him, it is a happy thing to be able to get people to point out his shortcomings.
With Zhang Zhongjing's consent, Xin Yue didn't twist, and said: "I think Brother Zhang's recipe is indeed a good prescription for warming the fever epidemic, but I think if you add 1 yuan of rhino horn, 5 points of cimicifuga, 6 yuan of fresh land, and 3 yuan of black ginseng, it may have a better effect on people who are already sick." ”
When Zhang Zhongjing heard Xin Yue's words, he didn't rush to make a judgment, but thought about it carefully, and then took back the bamboo slip, supplemented what Xin Yue said, and signed Xin Yue's name, and then said: "Just do it according to the Xin County Order, the recipe of the Xin County Order is indeed more effective." ”
Xin Yue saw that Zhang Zhongjing only signed Xin Yue's name, but not his own, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Zhang, this recipe was thought of by you, how can you only sign my name?" ”
Zhang Zhongjing raised his hand to stop Xin Yue, and then said: "The Xin County Order doesn't have to be like this, I don't care about the fame, and the name of the Xin County Order is better." As he spoke, he glanced at himself and Miao Tong and the others next to him meaningfully.
Xin Yue understands now, it turns out that Zhang Zhongjing is also an understanding person, he knows that if this prescription is effective, then it will inevitably be used by Miao Tong and others in the end, maybe a few people will harm Zhang Zhongjing in order to compete for merit, so the name of Xin Yue is used to avoid such a thing, anyway, Xin Yue is also an official of the imperial court, and with Lu Zhi as the backing, a few people dare not do anything to Xin Yue. Knowing Zhang Zhongjing's thoughts, Xin Yue didn't refuse, but thought in his heart that he didn't expect to have such a big love with Zhang Zhongjing when he met for the first time, and he must repay it later, and it is best to bring Zhang Zhongjing back to Qingzhou.
In the end, Lu Zhi instructed people to grab the medicine according to the prescription shared by Zhang Zhongjing and Xin Yue, while Xin Yue continued to think about whether there was a better treatment.
At the same time, Xin Yue also suggested to Lu Zhi the measures he had implemented in the government to prevent the plague, and they were also implemented.
By the evening, the patient had taken all the medicine according to the prescription, and the effect could already be seen.
But in the end, everyone found that the prescription was indeed effective, but the effect was too slow, and the speed of treatment could not keep up with the speed of the spread of the plague.
Once again, everyone came together to figure out how to do it.
This is Miao Tong who spoke first: "I don't think there is any need to help these sick people anymore, not to mention wasting a lot of medicinal materials, it is also a hidden danger to keep them, it is better to send them to the mountains and forests outside the city and let them fend for themselves." ”
Hearing Miao Tong's words, Xin Yue gasped, this is really ruthless, although he didn't kill these people, but what is the difference between the result and killing them, Xin Yue thought, if it wasn't for the plague that happened in this Luoyang City, there are many people in the know, it is difficult to block the mouths of the people, I am afraid that the imperial court would have given up these patients a long time ago.
"No, how can we do such a thing, isn't that for them to die?" Hearing Miao Tong's words, Zhang Zhongjing excitedly objected, but it seemed that no one except Xin Yue took his words to heart, even Lu Zhi was the same, it seems that if it comes to the last moment, I am afraid that Lu Zhi will also take such a method, after all, this is the imperial city, many ministers and emperors are here, and their safety is the first priority.
Seeing Lu Zhi's expression, Xin Yue knew that if he didn't want to come up with a more effective treatment today, I was afraid that tomorrow, Lu Zhi would also choose Miao Tong's method under the pressure of many ministers.
"Alas, really, it's really ......" Zhang Zhongjing saw the faces of the others, and guessed that if the epidemic was not alleviated, I was afraid that the people in the epidemic area would not be able to escape the fate of extinction, and he couldn't help sighing.
Xin Yue knew that Zhang Zhongjing was lamenting the sadness of the fate of the sick people, lamenting that he had no better medical skills to cure everyone, and he was also lamenting this society, and even more so lamenting this calamitous nation!
