Someone asked, there was a taste of the opposite of quinoa in the article, what is this?

This fine pungent is actually the leaf of 'Aristolochia'...... 'Aristolochia', which is a medicine in the Wujin Dan prescribed by Sun Dasheng to King Zhu Zi.

It is said that this is the case, and it is impossible to tell the king that it is actually horse urine...... Neither can the white dragon horse's!

Aristolochia, also known as water horse fragrant fruit, snake ginseng fruit, triangular grass, autumn wood incense pot, is named because its ripe fruit is like a bell hanging under the horse's neck.

But you know what?

Strictly speaking, only the fruit of the 'Aristolochia' plant is qualified to be called 'Aristolochia'.

Its root can be used as medicine alone, called 'green wood incense', while the stem is called 'Tianxian vine', and the leaves are called 'fine xin', and the effects of these four Chinese medicines can be different.

The same example is 'Yin Chen'.

This plant takes its leaves into medicine, the young leaves are called 'Yin Chen', and the old leaves are called 'Artemisia annua'.

That's right, it's the Artemisia annua that Dr. Tu Youyou won the award, and its root is the famous 'Banlan Root'.

It's a treasure.

Remember the URL mom

This is the reason why Chinese medicine sometimes gives people a rather chaotic feeling: a whole 'aristolochia' (rhizome, leaf fruit) is called 'aristolochia'.

Taking out the fruit alone is also called 'aristolochia'.

A whole 'Yin Chen' is called 'Yin Chen', and a few young leaves are also called 'Yin Chen'.

On this point, I have consulted relevant information and consulted some old Chinese medicine practitioners.

Finally, the consensus view is that this should be caused by the confusion caused by drug procurement.

This is because the fruit of 'Aristolochia' can be easily confused with the fruit of other plants (e.g. 'Spice fruit').

Therefore, when a pharmacy purchases medicinal herbs from a wholesaler, it is necessary to buy a whole plant of 'Aristolochia' so that you know what you are buying.

Even if you only need its fruit, you'll have to buy a whole plant!

If you buy the fruit alone, it is easy to be confused with other medicinal materials purchased in the same batch.

Giving a patient the wrong medicine is a fatal mistake.

As for whether this will be a loss...... If you think too much, as long as the pharmacy takes out the 'aristolochia' that you bought and dismantles it separately, you can sell 'Aoki incense', 'Tianxian vine' and 'fine spice'.

Of course, these are all extensions.

As readers, you only need to remember that the most basic unit of Chinese medicine is 'taste' and not a plant!

If a recipe uses a whole 'Yin Chen', it has to be counted as a three-flavor Chinese medicine (young leaves, old leaves, and roots)!

The unit that is one level larger than the "flavor" is called the "fang", which is a mixture, or mixture, formed by a number of flavors of traditional Chinese medicine in different quantities and dosages according to a specific combination law.

Units that are one level larger than 'Fang' are called ...... Dan, pills, powder, soups, sticks, ointments.

This is a series of proprietary Chinese medicine mixtures differentiated according to the form of the proprietary medicine.

For example, 'Five Tiger Pills' is a large pill, 'Black Chicken Baifeng Pill' is a small pill, 'Wuhou Xingjun San' is a pack of medicinal noodles, 'Suiyuan Zaoyi Soup' is a pot of medicinal soup, 'Wounded Tendons and Bone Patches' is a plaster, and 'Honey Lianchuan Bei Loquat Cream' is a bottle of viscous liquid ointment.

Now the question is, what is the difference between this 'pill, pill, powder, soup, paste, ointment' and the 'formula' mentioned above?

Answer, these 'pills, pills, powders, soups, pastes, ointments' have one or more flavors than 'prescriptions' and there are several medicines that are not recorded in the prescription!

For example, 'honey refining Chuanbei loquat ointment' is an ointment formed by boiling raw honey and Chuanbei loquat paste together.

In fact, the cure for cough is still the Chuanbei loquat paste inside, but the taste is better when mixed with honey.

But you have to remember that 'Honey Refining Chuanbei Loquat Cream' and 'Chuanbei Loquat Cream' are not the same Chinese medicine!

So the precautions after taking the medicine are also different!!

For example, after drinking 'honey refining Sichuan shellfish loquat paste', you must avoid it.

Especially don't eat green onions, otherwise you will wait for your stomach to be upset...... Because green onions are anti-honey, it is nothing more than poison that does not kill people, but only diarrhea.

As for the 'Chuanbei loquat paste', it doesn't matter, if you love to eat green onions, you can eat it well.

Well, to this extent, it can be explained why Liu Zhaoxuan used such a method of going back and forth to 'commit suicide'.

It has been explained in the article that when someone reported to Emperor Jiajing that there was 'Hu Seng offering immortality', Liu Zhaoxuan could no longer leave the palace with Hu Seng as originally thought.

Now Hu Seng can only decide whether to stay or stay by Emperor Jiajing, Liu Zhaoxuan said that it doesn't matter, he has to think of another way to leave.

Some people may want to ask, that little yellow door can leave the palace with Liu Zhaoxuan's waist card, so why didn't he just run by himself?

Because Liu Zhaoxuan is the head of the Danfang, the pill he refined is exclusively for Emperor Jiajing to take alone.

If he had a different intention to poison Emperor Jiajing, it would be difficult for anyone to stop him in time!

He Liu Zhaoxuan belongs to the leadership of the core department, and his every move must be monitored by the factory guards directly under the emperor's direct jurisdiction, and his whereabouts must be reported from time to time.

It's easy to get out of the palace during the day, but if you don't return to the palace before dusk, there will be dozens of brocade guards everywhere to arrest him.

As a eunuch with too obvious external characteristics (a thin voice and no beard), Liu Zhaoxuan had little chance of evading the arrest of the Jinyi guards.

Therefore, the key to whether Liu Zhaoxuan can leave the palace is Emperor Jiajing.

As long as the emperor is willing to let Liu Zhaoxuan go, the brocade guard will naturally be lazy to pay attention to him.

So can Emperor Jiajing let Liu Zhaoxuan go? No!

Even if Liu Zhaoxuan died, the Jiajing Emperor, who was furious because he had no elixir to take, would definitely arrange for the imperial doctor to investigate the cause of his death.

Only when Liu Zhaoxuan died because of 'trying erysipelas', could Emperor Jiajing bury him because he was grateful for Liu Zhaoxuan's loyalty.

Since the emperor characterized Liu Zhaoxuan's death as a 'loyal martyr', the Jinyi guards naturally would not risk offending the emperor's rebellion and privately investigate the real cause of Liu Zhaoxuan's death.

In this way, the little yellow gate that was sent out of the palace by Liu Zhaoxuan could escape the surveillance of the Jinyi guard.

The chamberlains at the level of chief steward had to be ordered twice a day in the morning and dusk, and the little eunuchs were not among them (there were too many to order).

The little eunuch can go out on business, but when he returns, he must show the warrant issued by the chief of the chamberlain to return to the palace.

In this way, the Jinyi Guard, who was busy with affairs (mainly responsible for monitoring the civil and military ministers in the city), was likely to not notice a small yellow door that had gone missing.

Even if you can notice it, it will definitely be ten days later (the time away from the palace is far beyond the scope of reasonable business trips).

At this time, Xiao Huangmen had already gone away incognito, how to track it down?

Now the question is how to get the Jiajing Emperor to believe that Liu Zhaoxuan was 'tried to be killed in the line of duty'.

To be honest, it's not easy!

First of all, Liu Zhaoxuan is a generation of famous doctors, and this 'poisonous' elixir is still supervised and refined by himself.

A famous doctor doesn't know whether the prescription he prescribes is poisonous, who will believe it?

Second, the pill that Liu Zhaoxuan took must be the pill that has passed the poison test of cats and dogs.

It is obviously unreasonable that an elixir that even cats and dogs can't poison can poison a generation of famous doctors.

Third, it is necessary to give unmistakable feedback to Emperor Jiajing through the mouth of the post-mortem imperial physician that Liu Zhaoxuan died of which ingredient contained in the elixir, so that the emperor will believe that Liu Zhaoxuan died because of 'testing erysipelas'.

The cause of death is unknown or the poison cannot be found, but it cannot be explained!

Therefore, the pill itself is poisonous, and this situation is basically not to be considered.

You can only find a way to find a way from those drugs that are not toxic in the first place, but are only poisonous when they are encountered together, such as licorice and gansui.

In this way, Liu Zhaoxuan picked the Chinese medicine of 'quinoa' in the 'Eighteen Antis'!

(Quinoa, peony, ginseng, sand ginseng, salvia, sophorrhizae, sophora radix)

This is because the Chinese medicine 'quinoa' is an emetic that doctors always prepare to avoid acute drug poisoning when they try the medicine themselves.

Originally, the dose of the drug was small, and it also went through the animal drug test.

If it still doesn't feel right, then quickly pour a few sips of wine mixed with quinoa powder to induce vomiting.

Only by taking these three measures can the impact of drug poisoning be reduced to a safe and controllable range.

Therefore, as soon as the imperial doctor in charge of the autopsy saw the flask that had fallen to the ground at the scene, and there were still some residual wine with the taste of 'quinoa' in the pot, he immediately thought that Liu Zhaoxuan and Hu Seng were trying the medicine.

Why don't you have a pot of 'quinoa' wine at hand that you spit out when you drink it?

Under the inducement of this thought, the imperial doctor in charge of the autopsy will go to check the prescription of the newly refined batch of pills in the imperial pill room.

Then he would find that none of these prescriptions were highly toxic, and there were no drugs that could be used as anti-drugs against 'veratrol'.

Obviously, this is also in line with Liu Zhaoxuan's identity as a famous doctor of his generation.

Although the imperial doctor didn't find anything on the prescription, he would definitely not taste this batch of pills again.

Right now, there are two ready-made counterexamples of failure lying on the ground, what is he not thinking about to take these pills?

But in this way, there is no way to communicate with the emperor: "What does it mean that Liu Danshi may die of pill poisoning?" Is this batch of pills for me poisonous?

Is it that he, Liu Zhaoxuan, has a different heart, and is so mad that he poisons the pill, or is there someone who wants to murder me in private? ”

Therefore, the imperial doctors who are suffering from being unable to reply to the doctor, at this time, most of them will check those drugs that are in the prescription although they are in the prescription, such as the honey in the 'honey refining Sichuan shell loquat ointment', to see if there is any problem with these medicines!

However, upon such an investigation, the imperial doctor will be surprised to find out.

It turned out that when the miscellaneous servants of the Yudan room were using a mold for Hedan (Hedan, using a certain liquid mixed with medicinal noodles to knead into a ball in the mold), they put it into ginseng soup made of ginseng, that is, ginseng soup that would attack with quinoa wine and poison people!

There is no problem with its practical ginseng decoction to combine the pills.

It is also good to be able to use the ginseng soup that greatly replenishes the vitality to replenish the body of the Jiajing Emperor who took the elixir, anyway, the emperor will not drink the quinoa wine used to induce vomiting.

The key is not to use ginseng soup to combine those pills that need to be tested by the human body!

If the drug tester is in a hurry to be poisoned, he picks up the wine jug and pours it on his neck, and it will be a ball!

At this point, there is no way to investigate the matter.

In order to clear up their own involvement, those Huangmen who are in charge of Hedan will definitely insist that Liu Zhaoxuan did not make it clear that he could not use ginseng soup Hedan.

In fact, Liu Zhaoxuan did not make it clear to those little yellow men that this batch of pills could not be used with ginseng decoction.

This is to deliberately make outsiders think in this direction, what really poisoned him and Hu Seng was quinoa and fine spice mixed in wine.

Ginseng soup will indeed attack with quinoa, but no one knows whether a dose of ginseng soup like Hedan can attack with quinoa to the point of poisoning a person; No sane doctor would do such a pointless experiment!

In the end, the imperial doctor could only deduce himself (in fact, it was a brain supplement) that 'Liu Zhaoxuan was negligent for a while when he tried the pill, and drank the veratrol wine by mistake, and only then did he die because of the attack on the salvia soup and the vernoa'.

This is Liu Zhaoxuan's cleverness, except for putting a flask with quinoa wine at the suicide scene (no one else can smell the fine pungent wine), everything else is actually made up by the imperial doctor's own brain...... No one would take the initiative to question their own conclusions after a series of analytical judgments, right?

Speaking of which, I might as well tell one more interesting fact about aristolochia.

In the chapter "Journey to the West" "Zhu Ziguo Tang Seng on the Past Life, Sun Xingzhi Shi is a Three-fold Humerus", Sun Dasheng deliberately said that he was suffering from the disease of 'Lao Yan flying separately, and the male bird thinking of the female' in order to 'fool' the king of Zhu Ziguo, who was worried about the queen being plundered by the golden retriever.

It is cured by taking a medicine called 'Ugindan' with rootless water.

Yes, yes, yes, it is the episode in the TV series where Sun Dasheng secretly uncovered the emperor list and stuffed it into Zhu Bajie's arms, and finally plucked a few hairs and turned them into gold threads to diagnose the pulse of the king.

In the middle of this chapter, Sha Seng once secretly asked the Great Sage: "Senior brother, when did you learn medical skills?" ”

And the Great Sage replied: "My old grandson has never learned any medical skills, anyway, this medicine is like that, even if it is not cured, it will not kill people." ”

However, things are so paradoxical, so that many famous doctors in Zhu Ziguo are 'helpless' The stubborn disease came to Sun Dasheng, and he actually used a black ball made of 'horse urine, ash at the bottom of the pot, rhubarb and croton', which made the king vomit up and down, and sighed in person: "It's really much more comfortable now."

Is this gone?

In fact, King Zhu Ziguo suffers from the 'anxiety disorder' that is more common in today's modern urban white-collar workers!

Three years ago, the king's flowery wife was robbed by a monster, and this person still doesn't know whether he lives or dies!

If this is going to happen to ordinary people, then I would have resigned and found someone a long time ago.

But the king can't, 'Zhu Ziguo can't be without a king for a day', you have to be strong every day to deal with this national affairs.

However, there were some things that the king could not solve by working extra hours every night.

For example, there is not enough silver in the treasury this year, and now the salary of 300,000 taels of silver is still owed to the craftsmen who repair the city.

Now these craftsmen are begging for wages around the palace because they have no money to eat, do you care about this kind of thing?

The king of Zhu Ziguo can't ignore this kind of bad thing, but the king himself has no money to spare.

The small treasury in his hand was to be used to recruit civil warriors to save the plundered queen...... If only he didn't take money from the treasury, how could he fill it with it?

In the end, King Zhu Ziguo could only try to reduce all government expenditures, but he still couldn't close the funding gap, so the king who had nothing to do simply lay down on the bed and pretended to be sick under the pretext of being unhappy...... I'm dying, can you still come to me and ask for money?

This is the reason why Zhu Ziguo's imperial doctor has always been helpless against the 'stubborn disease' that the king suffers from: the king doesn't want to get better at all, he just wants to take sick leave in bed...... Who can wake up a person who is deliberately pretending to be asleep?

I don't know if you have noticed, but it is clearly pointed out in "Journey to the West" that when Tang monks and apprentices stayed in the pavilion, the officials in charge of the post actually told them clearly: There is no food in the pavilion these days, and if you want to eat, you will go to the street to buy rice and vegetables!

This allowed Sun Dasheng to unveil the list of emperors who healed the king on the street.

In addition to here, where else did you see Tang Seng and a few of them going to buy vegetables and cook in person?

The monks are all fasting along the way, how can there be any reason to pay for food casually?

In addition, the pavilion in the royal capital is a place specially responsible for entertaining foreign guests, and its status is equivalent to today's state guesthouse.

This inn doesn't even cook meals for foreign guests, is there anything more funny in the world?

It's not because the money in the pavilion has been misappropriated by the king.

That's why Sun Dasheng will tell Sha Seng that 'it doesn't matter if you haven't studied medicine, the king can't die anyway'.

Because of Sun Dasheng, he was sure to save the queen mother who was plundered by the golden retriever.

As long as the queen mother is rescued, the small treasury in the king's hand can take out a sum of silver to appease the craftsmen.

There is not a penny for blocking the palace to make trouble, if you are willing to disperse, you will be given ten taels of silver for dinner.

After that, the king only needs to announce a ten-day celebration party on the grounds that the queen mother has been rescued and the whole country is now allowed to celebrate

At that time, those businesses who smell business opportunities will take the initiative to fund the preparation of celebration venues and other facilities.

At that time, the craftsmen will be busy building sheds to make money to support their families, who will continue to block the palace gates?

By the way, you should have an impression of the scene at the end of that episode, where a large group of people set up sheds on the grass and sang and danced, right? There are some things that can only be understood, not spoken.

Zhu Ziguo has to pay taxes every year, and as long as he succeeds, he will have to drag out this year's arrears for the New Year.

When the tax revenue for the new year comes up, there will naturally be money to pay the wages owed, and it is a big deal to divert it from next year's expenses.

Knowing that these two troubles could be solved by the Great Sage, how could the king not be 'sick'?

However, the king was happy, and the famous doctors in Zhu Ziguo were not happy.

They saw early on that the king was suffering from a 'heart' disease, but none of them dared to say that they could cure it, so they could only prescribe some tonic medicine at will, and they would not die anyway.

Now Sun Dasheng has slapped these people in the face, so they are about to fight back.

"I don't know what kind of medicinal materials Dr. Sun's 'Wujin Dan' will use? …… There are more than 800 flavors of this medicine, how can it be reasonable to take three catties for each flavor? ”

In fact, Sun Dasheng probably didn't plan to use the 'Wujin Dan' mixed with the ashes at the bottom of the horse urine pot to toss the king of Zhu Ziguo at first, anyway, the core crux was on the queen.

As long as the queen is saved, he can be cured without taking medicine.

After diagnosing the pulse of the Great Sage, it was said that the king was suffering from the disease of 'Lao Yan flying separately, and the male bird thinking of the female'.

The king immediately sat up from his bed and shouted, 'Is it true?'

When did the king learn his medical skills, how did he know what disease he was suffering from?

However, the monkey monkey really couldn't stand the group of imperial doctors in the harem who kept asking questions, so the great sage began to make mistakes...... Don't you want to know what's in 'Ugindan'? Okay, I'll give you something you can't guess!

In this way, the king pinched his nose and ate a stinky 'Ugindan'...... That's not all, he still has to vomit and diarrhea, and then cooperate and say that his body is much more comfortable.

If he dares to demolish Sun Dasheng's platform, Sun Dasheng will dare not save the queen: "It's a big deal, this disease is incurable, my old grandson will pack up his things and leave!" ”

But even if the king knelt and licked Sun Dasheng with all his might, there was still an undying imperial doctor who instigated the king to pour wine from the four masters and apprentices...... This is terrible, the pig teammate opened his mouth for a while, and shouted out the 'horse urine' that definitely does not belong to the category of medicinal materials!

So these imperial doctors pretended not to hear clearly, and deliberately asked: "Doctor Sun, but I don't know what kind of medicine this medicine with the word 'horse' is?" ”

The good walker is really a little anxious: "Don't hide it from you, this medicine is called 'Aristolochia'!" ”

Note! Sun Dasheng didn't say that this medicine is called 'Aristolochia', but "This medicine is called Aristolochia".

Speaking of which, the monkey monkey is really bad enough, and the 'aristolochia' here can be either one flavor (fruit) or four flavors (roots, stems, leaves, fruits), who knows which one he is referring to?

'Aristolochia' (fruit): relieves cough and asthma, clears the intestines and eliminates hemorrhoids; Tianxian vine (stem): regulates qi, dispels dampness, activates blood and dispels blood stasis; green wood incense (root): relieves qi, relieves pain, detoxifies and reduces swelling; fine pungent (leaf): dissolves cold, dispels wind, and warms the lungs.

Okay, almost half of the diseases can be cured, so what kind of disease does Sun Dasheng, your 'Wujindan' cure? King Zhu Ziguo, what kind of illness is he suffering from?

If these imperial doctors dared to continue to ask, the Great Sage would probably glare: "Okay, you imperial doctor!" You know that the root of this aristolochia is the 'green wood incense' that can detoxify and reduce swelling for Your Majesty, and you are so familiar with the medicinal properties, but why didn't you give Your Majesty medicine earlier? Could it be that he wants to drag His Majesty to a serious illness?! ”

The Great Sage's words, which imperial doctor dares to take it?

To put it bluntly, this hard 'adding' in the prescription of 'aristolochia' means that you don't ask, and you won't tell you if you ask!
