"Your Highness praises falsely. The minister is just doing his job. Ahem......" Ru Taisu replied a little stiffly. He first intended to use impeachment to strip away Hu Weiyong and other forces around Zhu Su, and to make a big show for the crown prince Zhu Biao.

However, now that there is a news in Beijing, Hu Weiyong has been imprisoned, but His Royal Highness is entrusted by the prince to patrol Su Song on behalf of the prince, as if he is a brother and a friend. Instead, he became a villain who sowed discord.

The natural demeanor is a little unnatural.

"I wonder how Lord Ru is doing?" Seeing that Ru Taisu was uncomfortable, Zhu Su turned to the doctor who was boiling medicine under the window.

The healer was kind-hearted, his hair was white, and he looked like he was not confused. Seeing the royal robe on Zhu Su's body, he was not as frightened as ordinary people, and replied unhurriedly: "Your Highness, don't worry, Ru Yushi only occasionally feels the wind and cold, just rest for a while, and you will be fine." ”

"Take some rest...... Is it ......" Zhu Su repeated what the doctor said, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Ru Taisu saw it, and her heart jumped for no reason.

Before he had time to think about it, he listened to Zhu Su and continued: "As an official of the imperial court, Ru Yushi worked so hard that he was sick. Mr. Wen said that he also treated the victims of the disaster. ”

"I wonder how sick those people are? How sick are the people? ”

Hearing that Zhu Su asked about the victims, Ru Taisu, Wei Guan and the doctor were all stunned. The old doctor's face showed compassion: "His Royal Highness Lao moved. The people here are sick...... There are so many that the situation is not optimistic. ”

"Although the old man asked the victims to smoke mosquitoes, flies and poisonous insects with wormwood and sulfur, many of them were either infected with wind and cold, or had unbearable abdominal pain......

"But someone is infected?" Wei Guan, the prefect of Suzhou, asked anxiously.

"Infected...... Not really. The old doctor said. Before Wei Guan could breathe a sigh of relief, he listened to the old doctor continue to speak: "Although I have not been infected with the epidemic now, the old man has diagnosed and treated the 'big belly disease' that was fashionable in Jiangnan in the former Yuan Dynasty. ”

"There are a few people here...... The symptoms are similar to those of the patient who will suffer from the 'big belly disease'! ”

"Ahh Wei Guan exclaimed in surprise and almost fell to the ground.

What is "pot-bellied disease"? Later known as schistosomiasis, it is a retractable disease caused by parasites. People with the disease often have a swollen abdomen, as if they were pregnant. Therefore, in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was called "big belly disease".

At that time, it was not known where the parasites came from or how the pathogens were transmitted, so it was often difficult to prevent and control, and once discovered, it was often necessary to set off a major epidemic.

If there is a "big belly disease" in Suzhou City, it will be tantamount to adding insult to injury for Suzhou City, which is now suffering from internal and external troubles!

"The old man has temporarily isolated him and tried his best to diagnose and treat him...... But if it's really a big belly disease, Your Highness, two adults, please make a decision early......" The old doctor said with difficulty, and his tone was full of helplessness.

"After all, pot-bellied disease...... Difficult to prevent. If the epidemic starts, it will spread to the whole city at every turn......"

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning of the words was understood by everyone present. What he meant was that if these people really suffered from a big belly, then they would have to break their wrists and send them out of the city to give up completely.

Ru Taisu, Wei Guan, and even Yao Guangxiao and Luo Guanzhong behind Zhu Su were also silent. These refugees can only survive in the city, and if some of them are sent out of the city, how will their relatives and families be willing?

At that time, there were high-ranking officials who ate and lived here, but I was afraid that they would not be able to suppress the fragile tranquility here. If there is turmoil among the people in the city, there will be chaos in Suzhou, not to mention the bandits who don't know where to hide......

"Hmm. In general, the king knows. Zhu Su touched his chin through the mask and couldn't help but glance at the old doctor. Although this healer is only a healer, he knows the importance of the overall situation, knows how to not be confined to the benevolence of a woman, and advises the prefect and the river patrol to prepare for a strong man to break his wrist...... Based on this alone, we know that he is not an ordinary healer, but a real benevolent person who cares about the world.

It's even higher than Lao Li Juewu of Tai Hospital.

And, according to him, he had been diagnosed and treated for schistosomiasis in his early years. You must know that this kind of "schistosomiasis", also known as the "disease of poverty", is mostly contracted by the toiling masses at the bottom. Diagnosing and treating this disease is often unprofitable. It is also a kind of epidemic disease, and ordinary doctors heard about it, and he fled early in the morning, but he actually diagnosed and treated, which shows that he has a kind heart and rich experience.

"Can the old gentleman tell me the daimyo?" Zhu Su said respectfully.

"The daimyo dare not be. Old Zhejiang Dai Yuanli. The old doctor replied.

"But Zhu Danxi's disciple, Mr. Su Zhai Gong Dai?" Zhu Su didn't react yet, but Yao Guangxiao behind him reacted, and immediately asked respectfully. Seeing Zhu Su's puzzled face, Yao Guangxiao immediately solved Zhu Su's confusion: "This Mr. Dai is the senior brother of the famous doctor 'Danxi Weng', and his medical skills are well-known in Jiangnan. Li Yuanzheng of Liantai Hospital is also inferior to himself! ”

"Ahh Could it be that you are Dai Sigong? Zhu Su suddenly came to his senses.

Dai Sigong! The most famous imperial doctor in the Hongwu period! In history, Lao Zhu's ultra-long standby, this imperial doctor Dai has made great contributions. With Lao Zhu's temperament of killing the imperial doctor at every turn, the current Li Yuan is often afraid of Lao Zhu's dragon power. But this Dai Sigong often chats and laughs with Lao Zhu, and is even introduced by Lao Zhu as an old friend.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu in history, Lao Zhu was ill and could not be cured for a long time, so he ordered the arrest of the medical officer, but he only comforted Dai Sigong and said: "You are a benevolent and righteous person, don't be afraid." "Still use him. It can be seen that Dai Sigong is very important. After Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, he arrested the doctor who treated Lao Zhu, but Dai Sigong was not only not guilty, but promoted him to the envoy of the Tai Hospital.

It spans three dynasties, that is, Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, and it is also a lot of courtesy. Dai Si congratulated the old man to resign, but Zhu Di recalled him to Beijing to serve in Beijing.

In his life, he treated Zhu Li's paralysis and cured Zhu Di's "disease of disease", and as the most important imperial doctor, he cured Zhu Yuanzhang's many diseases several times. After his death, Zhu Di actually wrote a memorial for this doctor and sent someone to pay tribute.

In later generations, it was also well-known in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and his teacher Zhu Danxi had the name of "Zhu Banxian", which was comparable to Li Shizhen later. Dai Sigong, Zhu Danxi's beloved apprentice, is even rumored to have come out of the blue.

When Zhu Su was in the palace before, he wondered why he couldn't find this miracle doctor in the Tai Hospital, but he didn't want to be here. Lao Li was already old and submissive, and he was not much interested in the medical knowledge that Zhu Su had deliberately instilled. But if it's this Dai Shen Doctor......

Perhaps, I can help him improve his medical skills to a higher level, solve the clouds of the early death of Queen Ma and Zhu Biao, and even promote the development of the entire Ming medical community!
