When Zhang Chao finished disposing of the two black sheep in the Imperial Hospital, the Royal Hospital also continued to open. The patients who came to see the doctor every day were full, and later the imperial doctors of the Royal Hospital also rotated twelve hours a day, striving to ensure the needs of the people near Chang'an to seek medical treatment. However, these people's gratitude to Li Yuan has also skyrocketed, and many people have begun to praise Li Yuan, the emperor, for doing a good job. And this royal hospital has indeed won a lot of popular support for Li Yuan, so that Li Yuan, the emperor, is also very satisfied. As for the Imperial Hospital, they can also rely on the income of the Royal Hospital to maintain their own operations, and they do not need to rely on Emperor Li Yuan to allocate funds, and even the Imperial Medical Department actually turned losses into profits, but was able to feed Li Yuan's private small treasury in small amounts. Li Yuan received a part of the feedback and returned to his small treasury, which was enough to make Li Yuan extremely happy. Not only was it not able to make money, but it was also able to lose money, but it was able to make money, but instead fed back its own small treasury, which made Li Yuan feel that the financial pressure had been reduced. This is equivalent to Li Yuan getting rid of a burden, and then he has more financial resources.

And for this imperial doctor to go out to treat the people, those officials really can't say anything, because who is not sick. How can people not get sick if they eat whole grains, so they also know that they can't block the financial path of the hospital, otherwise in the future, the doctors will deliberately leave you a hand when you see a doctor, then you will be miserable. So no matter who it is, don't offend the doctor, I'm afraid there will be serious consequences if you offend the doctor. As for Zhang Chao, he is also sitting firmly in this Imperial Medical Office.

"Master Zhang, I encountered a very tricky thing just now, I don't know what to do?" Immediately a doctor said.

"What's the problem?" Zhang Chao asked.

The imperial doctor immediately said, "Master Zhang, in fact, it was after yesterday. Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De of the palace asked me about something, and both concubines hoped that I could help them solve the emperor's illness. ”

"The emperor is sick? Isn't his wind chill just right? Why are you sick again? Zhang Chao asked.

"This disease is not so simple, Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De consulted me, the emperor's ability to favor the concubine has been getting worse and worse recently, so that the two queens. The women of the palace were not very satisfied. So they want to ask the emperor if he is ......"

Zhang Chao didn't expect that it would be this problem. This problem is really a big problem, it turns out that Li Yuan is old and can't let him be in the room. Things above let the after. The women of the palace are satisfied, and every time they can't get up. And Li Yuan, a man who is already in his fifties, must have gradually faded in his abilities. But many of those concubines are very young people, and there must be a lot of needs in this regard, and Li Yuan, a middle-aged and elderly person, of course, can't meet them. But in the back. There could be no other men in the palace, at most there were only some eunuchs, so they could only hope that the imperial physician could improve the emperor's male abilities and make them more comfortable.

"Could it be that later it was rumored that Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu had some unclear relationship with the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji, could it be that this historical statement is true? Could it be that they are dissatisfied with Li Yuan's ability, so they also have a leg with his son, not only for their future status treatment, but also to satisfy their physical needs? Zhang Chao couldn't help but mutter.

And Zhang Chao immediately asked: "Didn't the emperor find you imperial doctors to solve it?" ”

"No! If it weren't for Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu, we wouldn't know yet! If the emperor doesn't come to see us, what can we do? What's more, this disease is not good-looking, and the emperor is not easy to say! The Imperial Doctor said.

Zhang Chao also nodded, this kind of disease is really hard to say. Even in the 21st century, when a man's ability to become such a man declines, it is not easy to say. After all, if this ability declines, I'm afraid it will be laughed at. Li Yuan, the emperor, I'm afraid it's not a good feeling now. Every day when he returned to the palace, he was probably very powerless to face those young concubines, and he and the concubines were not there for fun, maybe they were coping with each other. He sowed seeds in the concubine, perhaps just for a royal duty, and he had long since lost the pleasures of his youth.

But he can't go and "pay public grain" with the concubine there without dying, after all, if outsiders know that his ability to "pay public grain" has gradually declined, then I'm afraid where will his emperor's face go? It was not good for him to go to the Imperial Doctor for treatment, after all, he did not want the Imperial Doctor to know that he had this problem. And this is the disease that has always made many men embarrassed to see, once men encounter this disease, they will inevitably avoid medical treatment, and do not want outsiders to know, and as a result, they will have to suffer face.

"Then what do you speculate about the cause of the emperor's illness?" Zhang Chao asked.

The imperial doctor said casually: "Actually, this disease is not complicated, it is a normal phenomenon. The emperor is old, so naturally he has kidney deficiency. Anyone who is older often has kidney deficiency, and the emperor should belong to kidney yin deficiency. The emperor was also kidney deficient, and as a result, he had to return to the palace and the concubine every day. Len, isn't this in trouble? But the emperor is still so secretive about illness and avoiding medical treatment, which is naturally getting more and more serious. ”

"Oh? You mean, you want to give the emperor a kidney? Zhang Chao asked.

"Yes, but it's not good for us to give the emperor a pulse! We don't have any good medicine to nourish the kidneys, so we can't do it! The Imperial Doctor said.

"Then do you have any Chinese patent medicine to tonify the kidney?" Zhang Chao asked.

"Chinese patent medicine, what is that?"

Zhang Chao smiled awkwardly, there is no such thing as Chinese patent medicine in this era, because there is no Western medicine in this era, and naturally there is nothing like treating Chinese medicine. However, Zhang Chao really has one of the Chinese patent medicines that tonify the kidney, and they are also very popular in later generations.

A day later, Zhang Chao was in the palace.

"Your Majesty, this is the Liuwei Dihuang Pill that I dedicated to the emperor. This Liuwei Dihuang Pill can allow the emperor to treat kidney deficiency and fatigue, and can allow the emperor to relieve the hard work of working day and night. Especially so that the emperor is full of kidney qi and can have the energy to do anything. Zhang Chao said.

"Huh? Kidney-tonifying? Li Yuan muttered a little in his heart.

Li Yuan himself knew about his current illness, which obviously meant that it was difficult for him to go to the imperial doctor for medical treatment, so he could only die to save face and suffer the crime. And now Zhang Chao actually took the initiative to send a kidney tonic medicine, which obviously made Li Yuan muttered in his heart, did Zhang Chao know his recent problem. Li Yuan was in the palace during this time, not only was he not enjoying women, but he was suffering! But he still wanted to save face and didn't dare to stop, after all, if he stopped, wouldn't it mean that Li Yuan's male ability had weakened? As an emperor who wants to save face, he naturally can't tolerate it. So he couldn't bear to go to the imperial doctor for medical treatment, and now that Zhang Chao sent it, it definitely made Li Yuan feel very surprised.

"Do you think I'm very tired?" Li Yuan asked.

And Zhang Chao then replied: "Your Majesty, now that the Tang Dynasty is about to dominate the world, so Your Majesty, you are very tired. During the day, I not only have to be busy with government affairs, but also have to work at night, which is very tiring. According to what my ancestors mentioned, there is one that the kidney is the source of all human strength, so I specially came to the emperor to tonify the kidney, and this Liuwei Dihuang Pill is a good medicine for the kidney. This Liuwei Dihuang Pill is not only a kidney tonic, but also a warm tonic, and the price is not high, even many ordinary people can afford to eat it. There are no ingredients in the tiger and wolf medicine, and they are completely normal and healthy pills. After eating, it won't take long for the emperor to improve his body, so that he can work well day and night! ”

And Li Yuan took the black honey pill and looked at it, and then asked again: "Is this really not a tiger and wolf medicine?" ”

"Really, absolutely not. If the emperor can't believe it, then the emperor and I might as well share half of it to eat, so that the emperor should be at ease, right? Zhang Chao said.

Zhang Chao took the initiative to take a medical knife and cut the honey pill in half, and then he and Li Yuan each divided half to eat. This Liuwei Dihuang Pill is a particularly popular Chinese patent medicine for tonifying the kidney in later generations, which is not only relatively inexpensive, but also has good effects, and is also very effective for many middle-aged and elderly people. In fact, when Zhang Chao was in his thirties, he often drank and went to banquets in the officialdom, and after so many "alcohol tests", his body had long been kidney deficient. So of course, he also eats Liuwei Dihuang Pill to replenish his kidneys, so he is very familiar with this Liuwei Dihuang Pill. Now they are all fried and sold to nourish the kidneys of Li Yuan, a middle-aged and elderly person, which is just right for the symptoms.

And Li Yuan watched Zhang Chao eat half of it first, proving that there was no toxicity, so he was also very relieved to eat the other half of the pill. However, after he ate it, he didn't feel any special effect, and he was immediately a little disappointed. He originally thought that there would be some immediate effect, but now there was no effect, as if he hadn't eaten it, which made him a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, this Liuwei Dihuang Pill is not an elixir, of course it can't be immediate. However, I have already given this prescription to the medical officer of the Imperial Doctor's Department, and then they will prepare it for the emperor, and then it will be delivered every day. When the time comes, the emperor will be able to eat for about ten days in a row, and he should be able to achieve initial results. And the emperor, at your age, it is inevitable that there will be some kidney qi deficiency, so this should be eaten for a long time. This Liuwei Dihuang Pill is not only relatively inexpensive, but also can be eaten for a long time, and is an important prescription for long-term kidney tonics. Zhang Chao said.

When Li Yuan heard this, he also nodded, and then the attendants next to him had to go to the Imperial Medical Department every day to get some Liuwei Dihuang pills back, so that Li Yuan would also have to replenish his kidneys. Of course, Li Yuan is unwilling to be so deficient in his kidneys, since he has a way to replenish his kidneys, he naturally has to make up for it. Otherwise, when I go back to the palace every day, I really have more than enough strength to see those sultry concubines, and this is the most uncomfortable. Li Yuan is old, so naturally it is impossible to satisfy those women for a long time. But he avoided medical treatment, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to the doctor. And now that Zhang Chao took the initiative to send this needed thing, Li Yuan had no reason not to eat it.

Of course, the most important thing is not the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and Li Yuan also knows that the medicine of the tiger and wolf cannot be eaten. Now although the effect of this thing that Zhang Chao got is relatively slow, Li Yuan is very relieved, if it is those drugs that can make him reappear quickly and immediately, then Li Yuan is not at ease. Li Yuan is relieved that he can take this slow-tonic medicine slowly without worrying about any side effects. After all, he was an emperor, and he didn't want to overdraw his physical potential so quickly to enjoy.

"Also, Zhang Aiqing, don't talk about this matter, if you say it, then my face will be ......," Li Yuan said a little cautiously.

Zhang Chao immediately replied: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" I just saw that the emperor's hard work day and night caused a lack of kidney qi, so I took the initiative to send medicine to tonify the kidney, and the minister had no other meaning! ”

"Well, the children can be taught!" Li Yuan said.

And Zhang Chao was also a little funny in his heart, he knew that he was one step closer to Li Yuan again. After all, Zhang Chao knew a situation in the later life, and if he wanted to get closer to the relationship between people, there was a way, that is, to know each other's secrets. The two sides have a common secret, which can bring the relationship a little closer. Li Yuan's kidney deficiency can't effectively spoil the concubine, this is obviously a big secret, Li Yuan won't kill himself for this, but he doesn't want to reveal this news and make him lose face.

Zhang Chao must take the initiative to keep it secret, so that Li Yuan knows that a little secret is known to Zhang Chao, and the relationship between the two parties will be much closer in the future, so that it will not be too estranged. However, this method only works for small secrets, not big secrets. If you know a deadly secret, the first thing people want is not to keep you a secret, but to make you never able to speak. So it's best not to know what you shouldn't know, and if you know, you're afraid you'll lose your life. At present, the problem of Li Yuan's man's function is a big secret, so Li Yuan will not kill Zhang Chao for this matter, but Zhang Chao must also understand that if he says it, he will definitely make Li Yuan lose face. So don't say it, otherwise Li Yuan will definitely take revenge on himself.

In this way, Zhang Chao knew a little secret of Li Yuan, and Li Yuan must pay attention to Zhang Chao in the future, and gradually give Zhang Chao this "hush money", otherwise Li Yuan will not feel at ease.
