However, Lu Jinping really has no research on Chinese medicine. That prescription was just a coincidence, and he knew that the knowledge of Chinese medicine involved was actually very basic knowledge in later generations, so he could understand it. If he really wants to encounter such a tricky real case, Lu Jinping has self-knowledge, and it is impossible for him to be cured by traditional Chinese medicine.

What's more, he really had never heard of such a bizarre case as the letter said that he suddenly grew old and died of old age soon. Therefore, he couldn't think of any way to solve such a tricky case, so naturally there was no way to help this imperial doctor.

Of course, he wouldn't say bluntly that he couldn't be cured and that his medical skills were not enough, so he made an excuse and said: "This strange case, judging from the description itself, can't be understood clearly, and it must be examined in person!" Imperial Doctor Zhang is the head of the Tai Hospital, if you lead the team to personally diagnose the patient, you will definitely be able to find a way, I can't do it behind closed doors here. I don't want to influence your thinking, or after you go down for a consultation, if you have any questions, we can talk about it when you come back. I originally wanted to go with you, and I was still interested in this as well, but now I am too busy with official business to get out. ”

As soon as Imperial Doctor Zhang heard this, he knew that Lu Jinping was deliberately shirking, but he didn't refuse directly, and he gave himself a little thin face, and he hugged his fists with some sincere fear and said: "Lord Wang, I really ask for advice, of course, it is still the old rules, and I will not let the prince help in vain." To tell you the truth, there are still strange things in this case, and I didn't say it in the compromise, but let me tell you the truth, the wife of Lingzhou Thorn Shi also contracted this strange disease and quickly grew old. And this Cao Thorn Shi Rong guarded the northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, and led the local soldiers and civilians to resist the many southward invasions of the Turkic iron cavalry, and had quite a lot of military achievements. The emperor appreciates him very much, especially the crown prince. So. After the emperor heard that his wife also had this strange disease, he sent the old man to lead a team to go down for treatment. ”

Lu Jinping now understands that the important task that Imperial Doctor Zhang said this time came from the emperor's attention to the generals guarding the border passes.

The main threat of the Tang Dynasty from the north was the Turks, and the Turkic cavalry was extremely powerful, covered by the vast and vast desert depth. Taking advantage of the speed of cavalry long-distance raids, they often hit and leave, causing great losses to the border towns in northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty army entered and suppressed, if the troops were too strong, the Turkic cavalry often avoided the battle, and the Tang army could not stay deep in the uninhabited desert hinterland for a long time, and could not find the Turkic army to fight a decisive battle and could only retreat. So the Turkic cavalry invaded south, which gave the Tang Dynasty a headache.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty mostly adopted the method of attaching equal importance to the Turks. These measures played a very important role, at least to ensure that the Tang Dynasty did not engage in a long-term struggle with the nomads from the north in the early days of the founding of the country, as the Han Dynasty did, which seriously depleted the national strength.

Although the imperial court was very flexible in strategy and achieved good results, border defense was also crucial, because a strong border defense was the iron fist that blocked the Turkic invasion of the south. It made it impossible for the Turks to invade the Tang Dynasty on a large scale and plunder. Therefore, the general who guards the northern frontier is the most relied on by the imperial court to serve as the right-hand man in the future.

At this point, Cao Jianshi is one of the important commanders who guarded northern Xinjiang. And he happened to be guarding the main passage through which the Turks most often invaded the Tang Dynasty, that is, the great bend of the Yellow River.

Of course, the town guard generals in such a dangerous position were treated well by the imperial court, so that they could serve the imperial court desperately. Now the wife of this important general is suffering from a strange disease, and this is a good opportunity for the imperial court to win people's hearts. Therefore, the emperor sent the most capable general of the Tai Hospital led by his personal imperial doctor to treat it.

Of course, this Imperial Doctor Zhang knew that this time he had a great responsibility, and if he couldn't cure this wife of Cao Tingshi, it would not be able to achieve the purpose of giving favors to the generals of the frontier guards as the emperor hoped for. Therefore, after receiving the holy decree, he pondered for a long time, and decided to come to Lu Jinping for advice.

Last time, he relied on Lu Jinping's prescription to cure the queen's illness. Although Empress Wei was later killed by Li Longji, but. His medical skills impressed the imperial family, and it was because of this that he was able to escape the fate of being killed as a henchman of the Empress and stayed, and continued to serve by the Emperor's side.

But now, seeing Lu Jinping's euphemistic refusal, he couldn't help but be a little anxious. He had a deal with Lu Jinping and tacitly agreed that he would not beat around the bush and have a direct showdown.

However, at this time, Lu Jinping is no longer the young man who was eager to step into the career to show his talent, he is now a prince, it can be said that he wants to be windy and rainy, what else can tempt him? Therefore, after listening to Imperial Doctor Zhang's words, Lu Jinping couldn't help but smile faintly, shook his head and said: "No need, I'm really busy, I really can't take a break, and since the matter is very important, I can't make any moves at will, so as not to mislead you." ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang smiled, lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, you haven't heard about the benefits of going to Lingzhou this time, don't be in a hurry to refuse, maybe you will be interested after listening to it." ”

Speaking of this, seeing Lu Jinping shaking his head, it seemed that he was still refusing, and he didn't dare to delay, so he preemptively said: "That's the case, General Cao led the army to a decisive battle with the Turkic army a few years ago and captured the daughter of the Turkic Khan. This woman's martial arts are very strong, so the master is bold, so she is a little light on the enemy, and the lone army went deep into the ambush of Cao Tingshi and was captured alive. This woman is not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely beautiful, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to fall into the country and the city. After General Cao caught him, he originally wanted to negotiate with the Turkic Khan, use it as a weight, and force the Turkic Khan to promise not to invade the south again in his lifetime, so he returned his sister to the Khan. ”

Although the khan doted on his daughter very much, and tried his best to rescue her back, he couldn't accept the conditions offered by Cao Tingshi, so he was deadlocked, but because his daughter was controlled by General Cao, he did not invade the Lingzhou Mansion guarded by Cao Tingshi in recent years. If Lord Lu can go to Lingzhou to cure General Cao's strange illness, he can take a look at this extremely beautiful Turkic princess by the way. If the prince likes it, he might as well marry the princess on the side. The old man can also say a few words beside the emperor to promote this marriage. ”

"In this way, the prince not only has a princess who is as beautiful as a fairy, but also can marry the Turkic Khan, and the two sides will turn hostility into jade silk, isn't this a good thing to kill two birds with one stone? To tell you the truth, you don't know the beauty of this woman, if you really see it, you will definitely agree very happily. Because, she is really so beautiful, everyone who has seen her says that the word sinking fish and geese is for her. ”

Lu Jinping's biggest headache now is women, there are enough women around him now, what does beauty mean? Beauty is only a decade or so, and it will eventually become yesterday's yellow flower. And the women around him are not super good-looking, so why bother to marry a Turkic and Turkic princess and become a victim of harmony? Lu Jinping was not yet interested in using marriage as a pawn to consolidate imperial power.

Imperial Doctor Zhang saw that the corners of Lu Jinping's mouth showed disdain, and he was about to shake his head to refuse, he knew that he couldn't step out of this woman's beauty with an empty mouth, and he had to see it to make him tempted, and now there was no way for him to see the woman, only by thinking of all kinds of benefits could he be tempted.

So, Imperial Doctor Zhang hurriedly continued: "This Turkic princess is not only as beautiful as a flower, naturally beautiful, loved by everyone, and blooming when flowers bloom, but also has an extremely attractive trait, that is, she can spit lotus flowers in her mouth. - What I said was true, of course, not really spitting out lotus flowers, but the fragrance of her breath like lotus flowers when she spoke, refreshing people's hearts. This quality of hers is only unmatched by anyone in the world! ”

Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "It's all a legend, right?" Who can really exhale like an orchid? It's just the hearsay of those ignorant people who spread false rumors. ”

When Imperial Doctor Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. Judging from Lu Jinping's words, he is not uninterested, but he does not believe it. If he really knew that this woman really had this ability, he was afraid that he would be interested, although this legend was only his hearsay, and he had not seen this woman with his own eyes, but he had to speak well before he could arouse Lu Jinping's interest. Since everyone says so, this woman must be an extremely beautiful person, and this mouth spitting lotus flowers should not be groundless.

Imperial Doctor Zhang hurriedly smiled and said: "The prince doesn't know, this Turkic princess has a Taoist master with profound Taoism, who taught her martial arts since she was a child, and used a magical Taoist technique to temper her body, so that she has the special physique of spitting lotus flowers." ”

"Daoist? How many Taoists are really Taoist? It's nothing more than a little trick to deceive and deceive, using a small prop that others don't know about to show the so-called Taoism, but in fact, it's just to deceive the ignorant people. ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Wang, you don't know, this mage next to this Turkic princess is really a good way. This Taoist had a sarcoma on his forehead. His sarcoma is terrible, it's the legendary eye of heaven! Because he has this heavenly eye, he knows the nature of all kinds of herbs in the world, and he also prepares special pills, and after giving them to people, he has all kinds of peculiar abilities. This is well-known and well-known in the Turkic country, and he does not dare to deceive the prince. ”

When Imperial Doctor Zhang said this, he suddenly found that Lu Jinping didn't speak, but stared at him in a daze, his eyes were dripping, as if he was thinking about something, so he smiled and said: "If the prince still doesn't believe it, you can go to Lingzhou in person and find out." If this princess is really as lowly as she said, she can spit lotus flowers in her mouth and look like a fairy, then the prince will instruct her how to treat the strange disease of old age that night, and the old man will definitely do his best to help the prince achieve his wishes.
