Listening to the silent words, Lu Bing suddenly smiled and said, "Let me tell you something, this matter is extremely secret, and almost no one knows about it." ”

Shen Mo said: "I know a lot of secrets, and I won't be able to sleep well." ”

"That's why I have to talk to you." Lu Bing smiled and said, "Do you know why Your Majesty didn't name King Jing's son?" ”

"I don't know." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "How do I know about the royal affairs." ”

"If you don't have a name, you can't enter the genealogy, and you can't be regarded as a recognized son." Lu Bing said in a deep voice: "Although the emperor has cultivated the way of heaven and has already looked down on family affection, it is the first time that he has treated King Jing so harshly. ”

"Why is that?" Shen Mo finally couldn't help but ask: "How can I say that he is also the only heir of the third generation, this is a great thing for the royal family." ”

"Yes, it was originally a great thing, and Your Majesty was very happy," Lu Bing said: "But because of a person's words, all of a sudden has changed." ”

"What words are so powerful?" Shen Mo asked softly.

"That sentence is a very common proposal, but it is just to ask for the honorific title of the late Concubine Lu Jing." Lu Bing said softly: "But it is this sentence that makes King Jing's son disgusted by His Majesty." ”

"Why is that?" Silent for a moment, he didn't react.

"Hehe, Concubine Lu Jing was born in the first month of last year," Lu Bing smiled faintly and said: "King Jing's son was born in May this year, what do you say is the problem?" ”

"During the period of filial piety, the ...... of sex" Shen Mo finally understood.

"Not bad!" Lu Bing nodded and said: "Your Majesty was aroused, pinched his fingers, and found that King Jing did not forget to sleep with his wife during the period of filial piety for his mother, and he couldn't help but be furious, and naturally he didn't have a good impression of this grandson." Said with a smile: "But fortunately, Your Majesty is only this grandson, so he can't be killed with a stick, so I will do cold treatment first, and then look at it later." ”

Shen Mo understood what Lu Bing meant, and said softly: "Senior brother is saying that His Royal Highness King Yu's top priority is to give birth to a son, so that he can come from behind?" ”

"Exactly." Lu Bing nodded and smiled.

"Last question, who told Your Majesty about this?" Shen Mo asked softly, "Why didn't you hear any wind at all?" ”

"It's Elder Xu Ge," Lu Bing didn't sell Guan Zi, and said lightly: "Your master is a master of heavy swords without blades and great ingenuity, so learn more when you encounter problems." ”

"It's him......" Shen Mo couldn't help but whisper. Shen Mo knew that Xu Jieshen was proficient in the art of power and scheming, and he was old in the way of vertical and horizontal, so it was no surprise that he could come up with such a countermeasure. What surprised him was Xu Jie's attitude, all along, in his heart, Xu Jie's image was not glorious, he felt that this person was too forbearing, too selfish, not responsible, unwilling to stand up for anyone, just bent on keeping his official position, waiting to participate in Yan Ge Lao's memorial service.

Something like this that offends people, Shen Mo won't think of Xu Jie's head if he wants to break his head, but Lu Bing won't lie to him, so Shen Mo can't help but secretly wake up to re-examine this cabinet deputy assistant, and more importantly, reposition the relationship with him.

Coming back from Lu Bing, Shen Mo wanted to educate his two precious sons well, but the nobles were busy, and Feng Bao from Yuwangfu came, saying that the prince hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him very much.

Shen Mo had no choice but to leave his son to see King Yu, and when he arrived at the ground, Prince Yu was really very affectionate, and let him eat fruits, and let him use snacks, and finally asked Ai Ai: "Mr. Shen, when will that Imperial Doctor Li arrive?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Mo patted his forehead lightly and said, "Oh, I almost forgot about this stubble when I entered the tribute courtyard." Then he said: "Imperial Doctor Li has already entered the customs, but his temperamental prince also knows that no one can rush it, and he can't be anxious, but sooner or later, it will be these days, he will definitely come to see me." ”

"That's good, that's good." King Yu said: "As soon as Imperial Doctor Li arrives, tell me as soon as possible." ”

"Of course." Shen nodded silently and said, "Lord Wang, please rest assured." According to the report of the guards he sent to Li Shizhen, Dr. Li had arrived in Tongzhou, and he would come to Beijing after tomorrow, but he didn't dare to guarantee that Li Shizhen would come to Yuwang's mansion, so he had to meet him first, persuaded him, and only dared to give Yuwang a letter in silence...... Otherwise, King Yu would definitely not be able to bear it, and sent someone to invite him, according to Li Shizhen's stinky temper, it is estimated that he will immediately turn his face and leave...... Before dark the next day, Li Shizhen really arrived, and Shen Mo personally greeted him in front of the city gate and took him directly to his home...... Li Shizhen said, let's stay in a hotel, but Shen Mo resolutely refused: "You are the great benefactor of our family, if you let you live outside, we will really die of shame." ”

Li Shizhen didn't eat him, and sneered: "I'm afraid that I will live in your house, and I will be sold by you and kept in the dark." ”

"Absolutely not." Shen Mo shook his head vigorously and said, "What does Sir think of me as someone?" I'm not that kind of person. ”

"You are." Li Shizhen said succinctly: "The thing I regret the most in my life is dealing with you bastard. He resolutely said: "It's okay to go to your house to sit, but I still have to stay in a hotel." ”

Shen Mo was not annoyed, but just grabbed Li Shizhen's horse reins tightly and led him to the house.

Ruohan in the house had already been opened, and greeted the door for the first time, and the couple invited Li Shizhen into the hall and enshrined him as the upper seat, and asked Aji and Shifen to kowtow to Li Engong for them, and apologized: "If it weren't for the dignity of the court, this gift should not be replaced by the children." Saying that, Shen Mo gave the two dolls a look, and Aji and Shifen ran to Li Shizhen in a hurry, shouting loudly.

Li Shizhen likes children very much, and the two dolls are really cute, so she can't put it down, and her always serious face also blooms with a knowing smile.

The silent heart also let go, and sat under Li Shizhen, only Ruohan served tea and water on the side, and there was no one to serve. If it were someone else, he would definitely be flattered, saying something like 'how can he work his younger siblings', but Li Shizhen accepted it calmly, just bowed his head and played with the two children, ignoring the silence.

He hugged the two little dolls to his lap and said with a smile: "Oh, the little guy is really heavy, it's just two little chubby duns." ”

Aji stared at Li Shizhen for a while, and said, "Li Dada, you are not a good boy. ”

Li Shizhen sweated, and said with a smile: "Little ghost, what's wrong with me?" ”

Aji stretched out his little finger, poked Li Shizhen's abdomen and said, "You are so thin, you must be a picky eater." ”

Shifen also nodded and said: "It's still so dark, I must always go out to play at noon, my mother said, I want to take a nap at noon, and I will get tanned if I go out to play." The two children persuaded him very seriously: "Mom said, disobedient children are not good children, Li Dada, you should be obedient." ”

Li Shizhen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, gently pinched the tender cheeks of the two children, and smiled at Shen Mo: "Sure enough, it is a dragon giving birth to a dragon, and a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix, at first glance, it is the seed of the two of you." ”

Ruohan smiled apologetically: "It's really embarrassing for us to be negligent in discipline." ”

Shen Mo nodded and said: "But what they said is right, Mr. is indeed much thinner than he was a year ago, and I think you have suffered a lot of sins for the sake of the Compendium of Materia Medica." ”

Speaking of his career, Li Shizhen came to the surname, nodded with emotion: "Although I have made plans to face difficulties, I really didn't expect that the power of heaven and earth is so great." He recalled: "The wind and snow outside the gate are so strong that when the wind blows, you can't see anything." As long as there is a crack on the body, and it is not tightly wrapped in a leather jacket, the wind will get in and blow on the body like a knife, which is heart-rending and painful! ”

Aji and Shiyi listened attentively, and whispered, "Is it more painful than Daddy's spanking?" ”

Li Shizhen smiled when she heard this: "Almost." The two children showed frightened expressions, and finally knew how strong the wind and snow in the northeast were.

In order to write the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen traveled all over the white mountains and black waters in one year. During the day, he walked on green mountains, climbed mountains, collected herbs, and made specimens; In the evening, he sorts through specimens and sorts out notes. Interviewed many local doctors, shamans, old farmers, fishermen and hunters. For many medicinal materials, he tasted them and judged the surname and efficacy of the medicine...... The hardships and sufferings are not something that the silent listeners can experience.

They just listened to Li Shizhen tell the adventure story of confronting the Siberian tigers, dealing with the Jurchens, and going up to the Long White Pond and going down to the Great Xing'an Mountains; Listen to him talk about the beautiful scenery, lush vegetation, ancient trees, wild flowers like the sea, a large forest like a treasure trove of medicines, the miraculous effect of Schisandra, and the ginseng antler ula grass...... I felt that it was very enjoyable, and the whole family was fascinated, and before I knew it, it was past the time to eat, and when I reacted, it was completely dark.

Shen Mo smiled embarrassedly: "It's so late, it's not good to go out to find a hotel again, Mr. should stay." ”

Li Shizhen snorted and said, "I fell for your annihilation plan again." ”

Shen Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Mother, hurry up and serve the food, I want to drink two cups with Mr. Li tonight." Li Shizhen had no choice, so he had to come and be safe, and he had a full meal first.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Shizhen finally couldn't help but say: "You said that you found the recipe for hemp boiling, is it true?" ”

"Ah...... Of course. Shen Mo nodded when he heard this: "Then is there any fake?" "The reason why he was able to bring Li Shizhen into Beijing was because he sent a letter to Li Shizhen, saying that he had found the legendary formula for 'hemp boiling powder'.

Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Hua Tuo's Biography contains: 'If the disease is knotted inside, and the acupuncture and medicine cannot reach it, it is ordered to boil and dissipate the numbness with wine first, and the drunk is unconscious, because the abdomen and back are broken, and the accumulation is accumulated. It means that 'Ma Boiling San' is the unique skill of Hua Tuo, a divine doctor in the Han Dynasty, and it is said that patients can be anesthetized in general to perform surgical operations, and its status in medicine cannot be exaggerated.

However, because he offended Cao Ying, Hua Tuo was arrested and imprisoned, and his "Qing Bao Sutra" was lost, and the prescription for Ma Boiling Powder contained on it was no longer known. The healers of later generations all longed for this remedy to see the heavens again, but they still could not get it after a thousand years. Shen Mo heard Li Shizhen say more than once that if he could get a way to make hemp boiling powder, he was willing to exchange everything.

Shen Mo is not a doctor, and his understanding of medical Tao is even more difficult to look at Li Shizhen's neck, but he is a little stronger than Li Shizhen, that is, he has read many books and miscellaneous, and because of his status, he has seen many rare books that ordinary people have no chance to see. At that time, when I heard Li Shizhen say, I thought that I had seen an anecdote in a certain Jin people's notebook - legend Hua Tuo's son Fei'er accidentally ate the fruit of the mandala and unfortunately died, Hua Tuo was very sad, and added several other Chinese herbs on the basis of the mandala to develop the world's earliest anesthetic, in order to commemorate his son, this medicine was named - Ma Boiling San.

Of course, Shen Mo knows this kind of anecdote, and it is okay to use it as a talking point, but he can't be gullible. But he also has an anecdote to corroborate, which he also saw from a book, and Li Shizhen must not have read it...... That is "Chinese Extracurricular Reading for Primary School Students", and he silently remembers that there was a story told in that book, which impressed him so far...... is talking about the story of Li Shizhen and the "Compendium of Materia Medica". said that once, Li Shizhen passed by a mountain village and saw a crowd of people who did not know the truth watching something. When I got closer, I saw a person in the middle who was drunk and dancing from time to time. As soon as he came forward, it turned out that this person had drunk medicinal wine soaked in mountain eggplant.

Looking at the drunkard who was smiling forward and backwards, Li Shizhen fell in love, and he asked the mountain people to take him to find the kind of 'mountain eggplant', and according to the method that the mountain people said, he used it to make wine. After a few days, Li Shizhen decided to taste it with his own mouth and experience the effect firsthand, and the result was really good, and then after studying the ratio, he invented Li's hemp boiling powder with this mountain eggplant as the main medicine.

Oh, by the way, the book also said that Li Shizhen later discovered that the scientific name of this mountain eggplant is called mandala.

Linking two unreliable anecdotes, we can draw a gratifying conclusion - the main ingredient of hemp boiling powder is mandala, and the local name of mandala is 'mountain eggplant'.

But Shen Mo didn't say it at the time, because he knew that Li Shizhen would find this 'mountain eggplant' sooner or later, and he didn't want to rob this ascetic of his rare happiness. But everything proves that in the face of the temptation and pressure of reality, people's bottom line will retreat again and again until they are naked.

When King Yu urgently needed Li Shizhen to send his son, and he also urgently needed to improve his status in King Yu's heart, he shamelessly took out his future discoveries and abducted Li Shizhen, who vowed not to return to Beijing for the rest of his life, into Yanjing City.

"Say, what conditions." Li Shizhen is very aware of the silent character, that is definitely a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, and will never give him the formula easily.

Shen Mo was blushed by his straightforwardness, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Look at what you said," When facing most officials in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Mo felt that they were more obscene than himself, but in the face of this old man, he felt that he was extremely obscene.

But shame is shame, and he still has to say it, so he said softly: "What do I ask for, but since you are here, are you going to re-examine a patient?" ”

"Who?" Li Shizhen said in a deep voice.

"Lord Yu......" said silently.

"You also ran to his house?" Li Shizhen asked.

"Yes," Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "I am in the court, I can't help myself, the court asked me to go to Yuwangfu to teach, and I can only go obediently." ”

"Let's change the requirements." Li Shizhen said: "I can't see his illness. ”

"What?" Shen Mo froze for a moment and said, "Is it really curable?" ”

"It's gone." Li Shizhen nodded and said: "His disease, three points rely on treatment, seven points rely on nourishment, even if I, a doctor, do the extreme, it can only play a three-point role, he himself indulges in excess, does not know moderation, and destroys all the seven points, I am no matter how dedicated I am, what's the use?" ”

Shen Mo heard that he didn't say anything to death, so he sighed and said, "Ming people don't say dark words, Mr. Li." The inheritance of the throne of our Ming Dynasty has always been a long and long-standing heir, and now there is no son-in-law, and King Yu, the eldest son of the current emperor, is the first heir to the throne in law, which is a matter of principle, and it is related to the stability of the country...... Even the life and death of the people of Limin, I implore Mr. to go and see His Royal Highness King Yu no matter what, please believe me, he is not what he used to be now, he is in danger, and he will definitely listen to you. ”

After listening to the silent words, Li Shizhen fell into silence for a long time before asking, "Why?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Jing gave birth to a son." Shen Mo said softly: "If His Royal Highness King Yu does not improve, it is very likely that the latecomers will prevail." ”

"Oh......" Li Shizhen nodded noncommittally and said, "What do you think of King Yu?" ”

"Kindness, righteousness, kindness." Shen Mo used three words to describe King Yu, and said: "It is the Lord of Destiny who recuperates and carries on the past and forges ahead into the future." ”

"You don't have to sing high-pitched notes." Li Shizhen waved his hand and said, "You just said what he would do to the people, right?" ”

"Lightly paying for the meager endowment does not disturb the people." Shen Mo said softly, "Please trust my judgment, Mr. Li." ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Shizhen stretched out his hand and said, "Take it." ”

"What?" There was silence for a moment.

"Hemp boiling!" Li Shizhen said lightly.

"Oh......" said silently, "So, you agreed?" ”
