Chapter 74: The Monarch and the Minister

Thinking like this, she couldn't help it, and she took a deep breath for a while before suppressing the smile: "Mr. Kunwu, Emperor Xi has come to see you." ”

"The county lord doesn't need to be polite, the old decay is just a cloth cloth." There was no charcoal fire in Kungo's room, and some scattered snowflakes and bumps would drift in from time to time from the open window lattice, and the temperature inside was not much warmer than outside.

Emperor Xi looked around for a while, and sat down on his knees opposite Kunwu: "Sir, why don't you light a charcoal fire to keep warm?" ”

"If it's not cold, why do you need to be warm?" Kungo replied, dipping his right hand in some water, twisting the footer and turning the page carefully.

Emperor Xi squinted and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I didn't expect that Mr. Kunwu was still reading "Shennong's Materia Medica" now. ”

"Some medicines are used less, and over time, you will not remember the efficacy and usage. Those who study medicine should naturally always look at the new in order to bring forth the new. Kungo's eyes did not leave the book for a moment, and when he saw the places that needed special annotations, he would still hold the book in one hand and the pen in the other, and write and draw on the hard yellow paper.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Xi didn't know how to open his mouth for a while, and asked him about his travels back then, so he could only take a closer look at the notes transcribed by Kunwu.

She watched Kun Wu write down the names of several Chinese herbal medicines, but the order and dosage were a little strange, and she couldn't help asking: "Mr. Kunwu, Shennong's Materia Medica says: One hundred and twenty kinds of medicine are for the king, and the lord supports life; One hundred and twenty kinds of traditional Chinese medicine are ministers, mainly nourishing; One hundred and twenty kinds of medicine are used as assistants to treat diseases; The medication must be in accordance with the monarch's ministers. But I see that the aconite and forsythia you transcribed are all adjuvant and make it, but the amount is like a medicine, on the other hand, salvia, and schisandra, but the dose is small, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? ”

"The county lord is also involved in traditional Chinese medicine?"

"I don't know very much, but I read one or two medical books in my early years." Dixi, this is really not modest, she is really just idle and bored, she has read the Yellow Emperor's Neijing and Shennong's Materia Medica, but she didn't study it carefully, and she didn't understand it. In addition, she is a spirit, although she is born in others, there will be birth, old age, sickness and death, but she doesn't have to care, after all, Lingyuan has always existed, and changing her body is like changing a piece of clothing. As a result, she rarely pays attention to medical knowledge.

"The most important thing in Chinese medicine is the compatibility of Chinese medicine and the envoys of the monarch and the minister, which is ever-changing, but it is always changing. What is the monarch's medicine and what is the minister's medicine, there has always been no conclusion, only look at the patient's appearance, in order to determine the monarch and minister. In Shennong's Materia Medica, the medicine is divided into upper, middle and lower, which does not mean that the medicine will definitely be the king, it still depends on the situation, can the county lord understand? Kun Wu lightly ticked the names of a few medicinal herbs with a brush, and continued: "The so-called letter is better than no book, this is the truth. However, there is one point, the medicine mentioned in the Materia Medica, covering almost ninety percent of the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, only the need to treat evil diseases with evil, will appear as the king. ”

Emperor Xi only listened dizzily, nodded again and again, but actually didn't listen to a word. What kind of monarch and minister, where can she find out the door?

However, after Kungo explained this most obvious question, his thoughts obviously slowly came out of the book.

He raised his eyes, his spirit was strong, and his gaze was calm: "The county lord came to find the old man, obviously he didn't come to listen to this, what's the matter, the county lord said it was okay." ”
