Volume 14 Chapter 31 Ask the right question
That night, Wu Xie met Liu Xing, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, at the state banquet to entertain the envoys of the Great Chu State.
This Emperor Anguo is nearly sixty years old, showing his old age, and even his body is slightly rickety. But his eyes are still very sober, not half confused, but because of the accumulation of years, he is full of wisdom, like a model of old age.
Next to Liu Xing, sat his eldest son Liu Yinyi, the prince of the Han Dynasty is twenty-six years old this year, and he is at the peak of his energy and physical strength. His eyes are bright and full of strength, and there is a faint oppression, thinking that in recent years, he has presided over state affairs under the delegation of power from his father, and has accumulated full self-confidence and majesty.
Since ancient times, any dynasty that occupies Chang'an City will not be too prosperous in terms of heirs. The same is true of the Liu family, in the past, the emperor Liu Yu of the Xingguo Dynasty only got an only son Liu Xing when he was over thirty years old, and although Liu Xing had three daughters, he only had one son - this has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that you don't have to think about what bloody dramas such as seizing the heir, and the disadvantage is that if the only son dies, the throne will be a little unstable.
But the Han Liu family has always been good friends with Buddhism, and even the famous Taihua monks of Buddhism are guarding outside Chang'an City to take care of them, even if the prince is dead, the Taihua monks have a way to help him come back to life - the only one in the land of Kyushu who has mastered the inheritance of the art of resurrection is the Taihua lineage of Buddhism, in addition, even the amazing Zhang Guangli can only cultivate this thaumaturgy by himself, but there is no way to teach his apprentices to practice.
With the care of Buddhism, the Liu family never worried about the problem of blood severance; It is precisely because of his friendship with Buddhism that the sons of heaven of the Liu family have been relatively generous in their work, and rarely kill on a large scale, and their reputation has always been very good among the countries of Kyushu.
Perhaps it is precisely because the reputation of the Liu family of the Great Han is relatively good, so the people of Dachu [fucking] are far less resolute when they fight against the Han army than they are when they fight against the Qi army.
In the previous war, the Western Army of Great Chu was defeated once the battle was unfavorable, or surrendered or fled, and there was no courage to fight to the end against the Qi army. And the common people and officials were more or less the same, in the face of the Han army, which did not have any hideous color, they behaved very cooperatively, with only some sporadic resistance.
The Liu family has spent hundreds of years managing their reputation, and this reputation has also paid them handsomely.
Sensing that Wu Xie was looking at him, Liu Xing turned his head and raised his wine glass with a smile: "Zhaoyang Wu Zhifei's good name, the widow has been like thunder since he was a child. I didn't have the opportunity to meet my predecessors in my life, and I have always regretted it. I can't imagine that now when half of my body is in the ground, it is really an honor to be able to meet my seniors!" As he spoke, he brought the glass to his lips and drank it first. Wu Xie smiled and raised his glass as a salute: "I am a person from outside the world, and my name is not worth mentioning." Along the way, I saw that the Han Kingdom was rich and strong, and it was a treasure of nature, and it really deserved to be the first of the seven kingdoms of Kyushu! As the king of a country, it is truly admirable that His Majesty has managed the country so prosperously!"
"Hehe, the seniors praised it falsely!" Probably because he was praised by a legendary figure who he admired since childhood, Liu Xing seemed very happy, "If you want to talk about the ability to govern the country, for hundreds of years, there has been no Duxiu Gong, and the widow is just comparing his works and drawing scoops according to the gourd." Being able to make some achievements is definitely not the credit of the widows, but the efforts of the ministers and the diligence of the people. The widow doesn't dare to be greedy for the merits of heaven for himself!"
Speaking of Lin Lushan, Wu Jie's smile suddenly stiffened slightly, while Lin Xiao, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but lower his head.
As the only son of Duxiu Gong, Lin Xiao did not think about becoming a generation of famous ministers and inheriting his father's glory. But he saw with his own eyes that the officials of the Great Chu State were corrupt, corrupt officials and corrupt officials emerged in an endless stream, and he saw with his own eyes how hard his father was, and he could only barely maintain the country's momentum, and he was unable to return to heaven...... But although he had long been completely disappointed in the Great Chu State, and now he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental when he heard Liu Xing, a generation of Ming monarchs known as the "Thirty-Year Son of Peace", praise his deceased father.
I am afraid that the Great Chu Kingdom is really coming to an end, and my father's life's work still failed to save the country he loved so much in the end......
Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly stiff, Liu Yin hurriedly came out to say hello: "Senior Wu, the younger generation has always been very interested in medical skills, and he has been familiar with "The Story of Tsing Yi" since he was a child, especially the "Treatise on Bacteria" mentioned by his predecessors has been studied repeatedly. But there have always been some things that are not very clear and understood, I wonder if I can ask my seniors for some benefits these days?"
The so-called Tsing Yi Ji is actually a three-volume medical book compiled by Wu Jie's father.
These three books took nearly 20 years to compile, and almost all the more common medical knowledge in Kyushu at that time was exhausted, including not only conventional medical skills, but even the witchcraft of the barbarians and the Gu art of the Miao people are explained in great detail...... Not only was it perfect at the time, but even decades later, none of the medical works on the land of Kyushu surpassed it.
The most rare thing about this set of medical books is that it is easy to understand, even a person who has no medical foundation at all, can make some simple diagnosis and treatment according to these three books, which greatly alleviates the problem of lack of doctors in Kyushu countries.
What is more precious is that it corrects many errors in common medical theory, and it also gives a detailed description and explanation of a variety of mistakes that ordinary doctors may make. In the hands of an experienced doctor, you can improve your medical skills a lot by studying this book, and you can effectively avoid misdiagnosis.
Therefore, this set of medical books is not only very popular among laymen who are interested in studying medicine, but also regarded as a treasure among insiders. So much so that although it is called "The Story of Tsing Yi", the world often calls it "Wu's Medical Codex", raising it to the level of a classic.
"Treatise on Bacteria" is a work compiled by Wu Xie in his early years, and it is also included in "Tsing Yi Ji". However, over the years, because he was busy cultivating, he had not had time to elaborate in depth on this set of medical theories that actually came from the earth, and now when he was asked by Liu Yin, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and the idea of accepting apprentices rose a little.
But Wu Xie cultivated to be profound, and this thought was suppressed by him just as soon as he moved, but persuaded with a smile: "Governing the country is far more important than saving people, if the prince can govern the country well, he is the most powerful doctor." The art of medicine is just a matter of learning, but you can't mess up the priorities because of this!"
Liu Yin hurriedly nodded in agreement, and was about to say something, but Wu Xie said: "I have a question, and I want to ask it face to face-for the strategy of the Great Chu State, I don't know who the Lu Dao came from?"
