Chapter 20 Native Penicillin

"This is Tianning Temple?" Princess Anqing in front of Tianning Temple. Mao Xiang took the brocade guards to surround Tianning Temple several times.

The war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was also a kind of destruction to the Buddhist temples everywhere.

Tianning Temple is no exception.

Today's Tianning Temple is in tatters. The eyes are full of wild grass. In the temple, there are only a dozen monks, big and small. A few old monks, and a few small novices.

Mao Xiang said: "There should be no second Tianning Temple in Changzhou. ”

Princess Anqing flicked her skirt, and someone immediately lifted a chair up, and Princess Anqing sat in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace. More than a dozen monks were brought over.

Princess Anqing said, "Which of you is the abbot?" ”

An old monk said: "The poor monk Fang Jue is the host of Tianning Temple, I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess is here, what are you doing?" ”

Princess Anqing said: "Looking for medicine." ”

The old monk was cautious and said with doubts: "Looking for medicine? ”

Princess Anqing leaned forward slightly and said, "Looking for medicine." Do you have any medicine here that is used to treat fever because something is moldy and grows green hairs? ”

The old monk Fang Jue said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, there is indeed a medicine in the temple, but we don't know too well how effective it is. ”

Princess Anqing said, "Then take it out." ”

The old monk Fang Jue went down with a few small novices, and after a while, the old monk Fang Jue brought a small jar the size of a fist and presented it to Princess Anqing.

Princess Anqing opened it and found that there was a jar of juice inside, and it smelled musty. Princess Anqing's expectations for the panacea were all shattered. Still, she believed in her husband.

A few days later, this jar of mustard stew appeared in the Qianqing Palace.

The old monk Fang Jue talked eloquently in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "According to ancient legends in the temple, this thing is called Chen Mustard Stew, first collect a large number of mustard greens, and put them in many large clay jars. Expose the tank to the open air day and night, and take care to protect it from rain. After sun exposure and night dew, the mustard greens became mildew, until they grew three or four inches long with green mold. Then the clay jar is sealed and buried in the soil, and the jar is opened after ten years. At this time, the mustard greens in the vat have completely turned into water, and the long mold hairs that were long before burial are gone, and they are what they are now. ”

"In times of peace and prosperity, this thing is often found in temples. It's just that the world was initially decided, and what can be used in the courtyard today is only a few altars. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Xu Zheng." ”

Xu Zheng immediately stepped forward and said, "The slave is here." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Find a feng shui treasure outside Nanjing. Order to build a Medicine Buddha Temple. Master Fang, "

Fang Jue said: "The old monk is here. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This Medicine Buddha Temple, let the master preside. Please also ask the master to be merciful, this kind of elixir needs to be made more. ”

Fang Jue had been carried away by joy, and a secret recipe was exchanged for a temple outside Nanjing. It's a great deal.

Fang Jue clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the old monk will follow His Majesty's benevolent heart, widely use medicine, and spread His Majesty's compassion to the world. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang gestured slightly to Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng had a very good look at it, and asked Fang Jue to go down.

For a time, in the Qianqing Palace, there were only three people left: Zhu Yuanzhang, He Xi, and Princess Anqing.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "This thing is the so-called panacea?" "In his mind, it's just a jar of liquid that doesn't know what. Not clean at all.

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, I have only heard of this thing, but I have never seen it. Your Majesty, do you remember penicillin? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I know, it was written in that booklet of yours. ”

He Xi said: "I don't know how to make modern penicillin, and even if I know how to make it, it can't be made in this era." However, this drug is local penicillin, but there are many impurities and many side effects. But maybe it's the best thing to do. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the altar again, not knowing how to describe it. Said loudly: "Xu Zheng." ”

Xu Zheng immediately ran in from outside the hall in small steps.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You take this to Jinyiwei and let Mao Xiang test the medicine." Be careful, this medicine is not in large amounts. I will find out as soon as possible, what is the effect of this medicine? ”

Xu Zheng immediately said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Anqing, you go and accompany your mother, let her eat well and exercise well." ”

Princess Anqing said, "Yes." ”

Princess Anqing knew that the following things were not what he should know.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at He Xi and said, "Are you ready?" ”

He Xi took a deep breath and said, "Ready." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay, set up the Wenhua Palace." ”

-------

The Wenhua Hall is where the prince reads. It is also the place where the prayer feast is held.

When Zhu Yuanzhang brought He Xi over, there were already many people in the Wenhua Palace.

The crown prince, a part of the East Palace, a series of candidates, such as the Ministry of Rites, and the Hanlin Academy. They are all sitting in a row according to their positions.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, the people below saluted one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and said, "Flat." ”

The officials below got up one after another, and Zhu Yuanzhang said: "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, I ordered the old master of Song to revise the "History of the Yuan", and told the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty. However, at that time, the military affairs were in a hurry, so they could only make more than a dozen compilations, divided into the same compilation, and merged into one, among which all kinds of omissions, hanging one leak and ten thousand, I think about it now, it is indeed not in line with the face of the imperial court, and it is ridiculous for all generations. ”

Therefore, the matter of rebuilding the history of the Yuan Dynasty. I thought it was okay. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang set the tone first, and then said: "It's just how to fix it, and by whom?" I couldn't make up my mind for a while. Yes, I will invite you to come here and discuss one or two here, after all, before, the history of the Yuan Dynasty was rough, and there has already been one time, and this time the history of the Yuan Dynasty must be able to set an example. I don't want future generations to see the joke. ”

"He Xi."

He Xi immediately got up and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I heard that you have a lot of experience in historiography, and the matter of reconstructing the history of the Yuan Dynasty was also said by you first. Today, I also have you to talk about it, how do you think this Yuan history should be repaired? ”

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the history of the prosperous era is not just the history of the Yuan. The history of the Liao, Jin, Song, and three dynasties was repaired by the former Yuan Dynasty. Among them, the history of the Song Dynasty is the most complicated and messy, and it also needs to be surveyed, and the minister thinks that the revision of history is not only for the revision of history. Rather, it is to summarize the lessons of the previous dynasty and apply them to the present dynasty. And what is the most important question to think about in the hundreds of years of modern times? Why did Song die in a foreign race? Since the two emperors of Yan and Huang, China has been in constant danger, but orthodoxy died in Yidi, but only the former Song Dynasty. ”

"This is an earth-shattering event."

When Liu Sanwu heard this, he immediately frowned. I secretly said in my heart: "What a good topic." ”

It's not that Liu Sanwu used the worst mind to figure out He Xi. But the person who speaks in the court, there is a sound outside the strings, and there are strings outside the sound, and in a word, the dark tide is surging, pointing to this and saying this. It's all basic.

Originally, let's talk about the matter of repairing the history of the Yuan, shouldn't we talk about the lessons of the Yuan's death? But why did he talk about the lessons of Song death?

Liu Sanwu believes that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the lessons of the Yuan Dynasty were conscientiously summed up. Zhu Yuanzhang also proposed that Yuan Yileniency loses the world, and the wideness here refers to the fact that the leniency loses control over the bureaucrats below. This is also the theoretical basis for Zhu Yuanzhang to govern the country strictly and re-rule the country. So now, it's either nothing new, or it angers the emperor. So change it to a lesson from the death of the Song Dynasty.

To be honest, there is not much summary of the lessons of Song's death, and even if there is, it is superficial.

The Yuan Dynasty itself destroyed so many countries and did not treat the Song as orthodox. Naturally, I won't pay much attention to it. As for the death of the Song Dynasty as the demise of orthodoxy since the Yan and Huang periods, it is an unprecedented view.

And the lesson of the death of the Song Dynasty must have one thing, that is, emphasizing literature over force. There is one more, science.

It is important to know that the science and Taoism developed in the Song Dynasty actually have a name, called Song Studies, as opposed to the classics of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Sanwu can't help but think of this, what is this Song death lesson in He Ximing. Fundamentally, I want to attribute the lessons of Song Death to science, this trick is indeed very insidious and cunning. The heart is very dark.

Liu Sanwu must not let He Xi's conspiracy succeed, Song Men is a shrunken turtle. He, Liu Sanwu, is not.

But where do you start?
