Chapter 7 The Divine Doctor Enters the Palace
After just one treatment, Li Hong found that his body had undergone some wonderful changes, the inflammation deposited in his body seemed to be much less, and his spirit was much better than before. When he woke up in the morning, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort. He knew that it was Sun Simiao's treatment that had an effect, to be precise, after Sun Simiao taught him a mantra for breathing and breathing yesterday, he practiced for two hours at noon and evening yesterday, and his body had changed today.
In addition to being happy, Li Hong decided to take Sun Simiao into the palace today to treat Gaozong.
When Gaozong finished the morning court, it usually arrived at three o'clock, and Li Hong and Sun Simiao came to the front hall of the Linde Hall of the Daming Palace at noon.
At this time, Gaozong, who had just descended from the court, was already very tired, and he was resting on the couch. Empress Wu did not go to Zichen Hall alone to deal with government affairs today, but served by his side.
"See the father and the queen mother!" Li Hong walked into the Lin De Hall and saluted Gaozong and Empress Wu.
Because Gaozong was too tired, he just waved his hand and did not speak. But Empress Wu stared at Li Hong curiously, and asked softly, "Hong'er!" No need to be polite. Why did you come to the Lin Tak Temple? ”
"Queen Mother, yesterday the famous doctor Sun Simiao invited by the sons from Zhongnan Mountain arrived in Chang'an City, and today I came to the Linde Hall specifically for him to come to treat my father." Li Hong respectfully explained to Empress Wu.
"Famous doctor?" As soon as Gao Zong heard that Li Hong had asked a famous doctor to treat him, he seemed to be in a lot of energy, and said, "Is it Sun Simiao that you told me last time?" ”
"Yes. It was Sun Simiao that the son told his father last time. Li Hong nodded, and saw that Empress Wu was staring at him with a puzzled expression, so he briefly introduced Sun Simiao's situation to Empress Wu and Gaozong, and told the two of them that Sun Simiao had diagnosed and treated him yesterday and that he looked much better today.
After Empress Wu and Gaozong listened to Li Hong's words, they moved their eyes to Li Hong's face, and their eyes suddenly lit up, because they both found that Li Hong's complexion today was much better than the last time they saw him.
His eyes are clear, and there is a healthy look between his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect this Sun Simiao's medical skills to be so clever?" When Gaozong saw Li Hong's changes, he was amazed, and said to Empress Wu, "Empress, since this Sun Simiao has such a brilliant medical skill, let him diagnose and treat me!" ”
Empress Wu looked a little displeased, but she didn't object, but nodded slightly, "Hong'er, let Sun Simiao treat your father!" ”
"No!" Li Hong bowed down and whispered a few words to a small chamberlain in the Linde Palace, and the little eunuch received the order, and immediately withdrew from the Linde Hall in small steps, and came back again to follow Sun Simiao.
Sun Simiao followed the little eunuch into the Linde Palace, and bowed to Gaozong and Empress Wu.
"Sun Zhenren doesn't need to be polite!" Gaozong said in a flat tone, and moved his gaze to Sun Simiao, and Empress Wu also looked at Sun Simiao carefully as soon as he stepped into the hall, and they saw Sun Simiao's immortal style and bones, and the demeanor of a worldly master, they no longer doubted what Li Hong said.
"Hong'er said that Sun Zhenren's medical skills are superb and can cure all kinds of diseases, so my disease will be Lao Sun Zhenren!" Gaozong said politely. He has always been very easy-going with people, and rarely shows the domineering spirit of the emperor.
Sun Simiao bowed slightly and said, "Let the old man take the pulse of His Majesty first!" ”
Gaozong nodded slightly.
At this time, the chamberlain on the side understood, and quickly put the pulse pillow sewn by the brocade on the table, and Gaozong put his right hand flat on the pulse pillow.
Sun Simiao put three fingers on Gaozong's right wrist, and after a long time, he finished diagnosing his pulse and began to ask Gaozong about some symptoms of wind attacks.
Gaozong did not hide it at all, and told Sun Simiao the truth about his pain and feelings.
After Sun Simiao listened, he fell into deep thought. After a while, he said in a heavy tone, "Your Majesty's illness is innate, and it cannot be cured by medicinal power!" ”
Since Gaozong suffered from stroke disease until now, he has found many famous doctors to diagnose and treat him, but there has been no cure, and he originally didn't have much expectations for Sun Simiao, but now when he heard Sun Simiao say this, he didn't have much disappointment.
"However, the old man has a way to alleviate His Majesty's pain and alleviate the onset of his illness." Sun Simiao opened his mouth again, "It's just that Your Majesty needs to insist on taking medicine for a long time to have an effect." ”
Being able to relieve his own pain and the onset of his illness is already a natural sound for the current Gaozong. Therefore, he asked Sun Simiao to prescribe medicine and asked Tai Hospital to decoct medicine for him.
After Sun Simiao wrote the prescription and handed it to the attendant on the side, Gaozong, who was overjoyed, began to reward him with a lot of gold, silver and money.
Sun Simiao did not refuse.
And just when Gaozong was about to appoint Sun Simiao as the imperial physician and let him serve in the imperial physician department, Li Hong suddenly asked for it, saying that he was going to let Sun Simiao go to the East Palace to revise, supplement and standardize medical works with him. High School and Empress Wu looked puzzled. Li Hong told them about his idea of revising, supplementing, and standardizing medical works.
Gaozong didn't say anything more after hearing this, but his face was a little displeased.
Because Li Hong is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is the one who will share more of his government pressure in the future, so as to check and balance the power of the Empress Wu, but now he is not doing his job to compile medical books, how can he be happy in his heart?
It's just that Sun Simiao has just finished treating him and prescribed a prescription that can be effective for his condition, if he reprimands Li Hong in person, it seems that he doesn't mean to give Sun Simiao face, so he is silent, but stares at Li Hong tightly, wanting to see something in Li Hong's eyes.
Li Hong knew what Gaozong was thinking, so he didn't dare to face him anymore, and lowered his head a little aggrieved.
When Empress Wu on the side heard Li Hong say this, her eyes lit up.
Li Hong is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Gaozong is very favored, and in October of the third year of Longshuo, he ordered the crown prince Hong to inspect the affairs of various ministries in Guangshun Gate every five days, and as long as the relatively small matters are authorized Li Hong can make his own decisions.
Therefore, Li Hong now has a lot of say in the court, if Li Hong continues to develop like this, as he grows up, sooner or later he will share the power in his hands.
This is what Empress Wu does not want to see.
Now Li Hong is compiling some medical books without doing his job, isn't it just what she wants?
Empress Wu said with joy in her heart: "Your Majesty, since Hong'er has this idea, we should support him, and besides, he corrects, supplements, and standardizes medical works, doesn't he just want to find out with Sun Zhenren how to cure your wind disease in the ancient medical books?" He is so benevolent and filial, how can we live up to his filial piety to you? ”
With Empress Wu supporting Li Hong, Gaozong was also a little helpless, he retracted his gaze and asked, "What do the ministers of the East Palace say?" ”
"They are not ready to participate in it because they don't know medical skills, but they are willing to recommend talents in this area to their sons." Li Hong knew that Gaozong had relented, so he immediately replied.
"Now that you've made up your mind, I'm not going to say anything more." Gaozong pondered for a moment and said, "I will allocate 100,000 yuan from the treasury to you, and as for the personnel you need to revise, supplement, and standardize medical works, you can recruit them yourself!" But don't let your father down this time. ”
There was also an extraneous voice in Gaozong's words, that is, he was a little disappointed with Li Hong's decision.
But where can Li Hong think about anything else now, Gaozong agreed to his request, and he was already happy in his heart, so he hurriedly bowed down to thank him.
And Empress Wu was very satisfied with Li Hong's approach, and she was not far behind and said that she was willing to allocate another 50,000 yuan to Li Hong. At the same time, her eyes when she looked at Li Hong were much softer than last time.
