The next day was the day when Zhang Zhou led his troops to the expedition, and the emperor would personally go to Deshengmen to serve Zhang Zhouyang, but he did not let the minister go with him.

Zhu Youzhu knew that these ministers looked down on Zhang Zhou, and when the court was in the morning, the people who were going to go on the expedition, including Zhang Zhou, did not appear in the court, and even Zhu Hui, the new chief military officer of the Xuanfu Army, was not listed, so that Wenchen wanted to find someone who was angry, and he didn't know who to start.

After the court meeting ended, Xie Qian was going back to rest last night, and Li Dongyang explained to Liu Jian that Zhang Zhou was going to treat his son's illness.

Li Dongyang can hide it from the government and the opposition, but he feels that he shouldn't hide it from Liu Jian now.

"Uncle Zheng's illness has been haunted for a long time, and it is understandable to ask Bingkuan for a consultation. What's more, it was ordered by His Majesty. Between Liu Jian's words, he agreed with Li Dongyang's choice under such circumstances.

Li Dongyang said helplessly: "I never want to be an outsider, and it is difficult to say clearly." ”

What does he mean, how embarrassing would it be if this kind of thing was known to others? On the one hand, he looked down on Zhang Zhou, saying that Zhang Zhou was a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, and everything that treated the emperor was a fallacy to confuse the public, but now he is looking for your son to treat his illness...... You're playing with this double standard.

Liu Jian said: "Seeking a doctor does not involve personal grievances, nor does it involve court disputes, so why worry about criticism from others? Your Majesty has granted you leave, and you don't have to stay here, but you can go back to your home to visit. ”

Liu Jian seemed to support Li Dongyang very much, and asked Li Dongyang to go back and have a look.

After hesitating, Li Dongyang nodded in acceptance.

Let his son find Zhang Zhou for treatment, he is always at ease, since some things may be known sooner or later, he will not hide and avoid it so much, he should face it or face it.

……

……

Zhang Zhouzheng took Zhang Lun to treat Li Zhaoxian.

The choice was not in public, but in a private house in the south of the city that Dai Yi was looking for, close to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and Li Dongyang's mansion in Beijing was in Dashi Yongfang, not far from the Jinyi Wei Yamen.

Li Zhaoxian didn't know who treated him that day, although he gave birth to a willow, but the condition has not reached the point where the skin is ulcerated or even the nose and eyes are rotten, but there are red spots like prickly heat on his body, even the people sent to him by the Li family are a little evasive about him, obviously people in this year also know that this is an incurable disease.

Through the gauze curtain, Li Zhao stretched out his arm first, but Zhang Zhou did not diagnose him in the usual way.

"Your Excellency's illness has reached the second stage, from the superficial surface, it has begun to penetrate deep into the skin."

Zhang Zhou followed the customs of the locals, and the treatment techniques he used were all commonly used by ordinary doctors, with a little metaphysical meaning.

But there was nothing wrong with his words.

Li Zhaoxian's illness has reached the current point, and the symptoms have begun to spread to the whole body, which is very different from the initial local symptoms, and with the appearance of systemic symptoms, some internal symptoms such as fever, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms will also follow, and Li Zhaoxian no longer has the good spirit when he first got sick.

As the spirit is broken step by step, the next step is for the illness to continue to worsen, and finally to the point where the whole body festers, and finally die in pain......

Li Zhaoxian asked, "Then this gentleman, can I still be saved from my illness?" ”

Anyone who has a terminal illness, even if he knows that his death is only a matter of time or time, still hopes to be cured, because there will always be news that some incurable diseases have been cured in the world, giving people the illusion that they can survive.

The two of them are separated by a gauze curtain.

Zhang Zhou felt that it was a bit awkward to speak like this, so he pointed to the curtain, and then someone from the Li family came over and removed the curtain between the two sides.

"Huh?"

When Li Zhaoxian saw Zhang Zhou's true face, he was still a little confused.

No matter how you look at it, Zhang Zhou is not like the kind of famous doctor who hangs the pot to help the world, he doesn't have that kind of old-fashioned style, and even has a kind of smile on his face, giving people the illusion that he is laughing, and the ...... standing next to him It turned out to be Jinyiwei, and a half-grown young man was staring at him with puzzled eyes, as if to say, how did you get this disease? Why don't I understand?

Li Zhaoxian wore black gauze on his head, which was actually to prevent him from seeing the sun, and it was also because some doctors said that it was taboo to bask in the sun for willow disease.

It may be that the doctors of this era think that willow disease should be a skin disease, and most skin diseases are taboo to sun exposure, so they will have this advice.

Zhang Zhou said: "Li Gongzi, be polite." ”

Li Zhaoxian asked, "Is it Your Excellency...... Want to heal for the next? ”

No matter what Li Zhaoxian says, he is also a scholar, and he is still a student of Guozijian, but he has not been to Guozijian for more than a year, and he has been recuperating at home, but Li Dongyang still opened a book club for his son, so that he can have a symbolic job.

Li Zhaoxian is twenty-five years old, the same age as Zhang Annian, and with his experience in dealing with people, he feels that Zhang Zhou is not like a doctor.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Actually, I shouldn't tell my identity, but since Your Majesty and Ling Zun both know that I am coming, you should also guess my identity, right?" ”

"You...... Are you Zhang Bingkuan? ”

Li Zhaoxian was immediately surprised.

Zhang Zhou's name can be said to be known to everyone in the capital, Li Zhaoxian of course also knows that his illness must have a doctor who can walk the sword to treat him to have a chance, and Zhang Zhou is precisely the cow who can control the smallpox raging in this era, when he guessed Zhang Zhou's identity, he couldn't help but be excited.

It was a kind of excitement to see hope in a desperate situation, to survive in a desperate situation.

Zhang Zhou didn't answer directly, he said: "Your cause and condition are not secrets, and I don't need to give you a detailed diagnosis." I just need to prescribe medicine. ”

"Not really...... Re-diagnosed? That is to say, after taking the drug, ......"

Li Zhaoxian was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

In front of people, even in front of his father, he can pretend to be fearless, and it is rumored that when his father wrote "Today's Liu Mo, tomorrow's Flower Street." Incinerating the ointment and following the sundial, showing talent and talent" to lament that his son was sick because of looking for flowers and willows, he could also write "Today's yellow wind, tomorrow's black wind." Xie Li yin and yang, and the prince and the father" to pay tribute to his father.

The father and son sang and harmonized, and finally a white-haired man sent the black-haired man.

When it comes to the issue of life and death, when there is hope for survival, no matter how generous a person is, he will desperately grasp the life-saving straw.

Zhang Zhoudao: "The disease should be treated slowly, it is good if it does not worsen, live a few more years, and stay for the Li family, this is Your Majesty's expectation for me." Thinking about it, it's also Ling Zun's greatest hope, right? ”

"Huh." Li Zhaoxian smiled bitterly.

The son's life can't be saved, but he has to keep a grandson first...... It sounds cruel, but it also makes sense.

When Zhang Zhou said that it could not be cured, then he should be able to wait for death.

Zhang Zhou changed his words and said: "If you cooperate well, it is not impossible to live for thirty or fifty more years." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhaoxian looked over in surprise.

Before he knew it, he had been dragged by Zhang Zhou's emotions, and there was a roller coaster of ups and downs.

"You all go out, there are some things, I only tell Li Gongzi alone, others don't have to listen." Zhang Zhoudao.

Li Zhaoxian and the surrounding Jinyiwei, Zhang Lun and others were all curious.

How can this cure the disease and not let others listen to it? Does that mean...... Zhang Zhou is afraid that the secret recipe will be leaked? The secrecy of this treatment is well done.

……

……

After everyone left the room, Zhang Zhou specially asked people to close the doors and windows.

Li Zhao put his hand on the belt of his clothes and asked, "Zhang ...... Do you want to see the sick body below? ”

"Oh, that's not what it means." Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly.

What's so nice about your body with willow disease? What about disgusting people?

Zhang Zhoudao: "I let them out because the prescription I gave you is very violent, and in general...... It is to fight poison with poison, because some medicines may involve external use and privacy matters, so I will tell you separately that after you go back, you can refer to the opinions of Ling Zun or other doctors, and choose whether to use it or not. ”

"This ......"

Li Zhaoxian frowned and sighed, "Zhang Shi said, this disease is not a secret, and it has long been known to outsiders, so there is really no need to hide it so much. ”

Zhang Zhou said very politely: "You don't need to hide it, I still need it, if people know that I toss you so much, they may think that I want to abolish the public for personal reasons, and take the opportunity to retaliate against you." ”

"Huh!?"

Li Zhaoxian was stunned.

Will a drug be perceived as retaliation? What about this medicine...... How scary is it?

Zhang Zhoudao: "The prescription I prescribed to you, for external use, is commonly known as mercury, and I call it mercury, and I will ...... it Apply to the affected area, but be careful, it is highly toxic and can cause many reactions when it comes into contact with the skin, so it is important to keep the application time within a reasonable range. ”

"Mercury ......"

Li Zhaoxian smiled bitterly.

How poisonous this thing is, but anyone who has read the book or has heard about it knows that if it is not to see blood and seal the throat, it will kill people.

And his small body is now thin and weak, if he uses such a fierce medicine again...... I'm afraid that I haven't been cured yet, so I was cured to death first.

He also seemed to know why Zhang Zhou wanted to put everyone back first, because this treatment method was really not something that ordinary people could use.

Zhang Zhou asked, "Can it be done?" ”

"Yes...... ......"Li Zhaoxian is not the kind of person who shy away from illness and avoiding medical treatment, he knows that he is going to die, and of course he also knows what it means to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Zhang Zhoudao: "This is just an appetizer, the next medicine I want to talk about is amazing......

Li Zhaoxian asked, "Is it more poisonous than mercury?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Zhoudao, "The medicine taken internally, commonly known as arsenic......"

Li Zhaoxian couldn't listen anymore and asked, "Sir, could this medicine be too violent?" It's not that I'm questioning the way you take medicine, it's just that I'm doubting whether I can afford it. ”

Zhang Zhou squinted at this peer and said: "Don't say anything and don't question it, even if you question it, I can only prescribe this medicine, I don't have a better way, a trace amount of arsenic can't poison you to death at one time, it depends on whether you want to die peacefully or toss alive...... No, it should be a way to die by tossing, or another way to live by tossing. ”

“……”

Li Zhaoxian was completely speechless.

Zhang Zhou's description...... It sounds scary.

If you don't treat it or choose another way to treat it, you will die, and it will be very painful, the kind of pain that tightens a little bit.

If it is to be treated, it is necessary to apply mercury externally and arsenic internally......

He thought to himself, this is really a toss-up.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Because the medicine is too violent, I asked you to go back and consider whether to use it." The usage and dosage, I listed it for you last night, as for the arsenic for internal use, after I arrive in Xuanfu, I will improve it for you a little and reduce the toxicity, so as to ensure that before you expel the disease, people have not been poisoned......"

Li Zhaoxian smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Shi, why do you have to speak so directly? ”

Zhang Zhou sighed: "No, no, no, after I entered the court, there was some misunderstanding between me and Ling Zun, and the court has always had opinions about me, thinking that I was using the art of Fang Shi to disrupt the country, if it is known that I use mercury and arsenic to cure your disease, everyone will think that I am retaliating." Then I'll say all the ugly things first, if I want to harm you, I can ignore your condition, or find some gentle medicine for you to use, let your condition deteriorate, and earn a reputation for benevolence, and I don't have to toss you like this. ”

"It's ......."

Li Zhao thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "That's right." ”

He figured it out, if Zhang Zhouzhen wanted to deliberately retaliate, watching him die would be more direct than using poison to toss him.

"As for Ling Zun...... Alas! I don't care what he thinks of me, anyway, His Majesty said, after the completion of the revision of the "Huidian", I will be promoted to be a bachelor, and now I am going to the Northwest General System to Xuanda Military Affairs, and it is not so urgent to be a bachelor, and it is not impossible to get a knighthood and be a marquis at the edge of the town! ”

After Li Zhaoxian heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

This Versailles ......

Listening to it makes people envious, jealous and hateful, at the same age, people are already the champions of the Ming Dynasty in the third and first, and they have won the trust and respect of the emperor, and their official positions are like riding rockets.

But with his experience in dealing with people, he knew very well that Zhang Zhou was not deliberately acting in front of him.

Zhang Zhou said that these have a strong purpose, that is, to tell him, or to tell the Li family behind him.

I, Zhang, are so awesome now, so I can't get along with your old son Li Ge? Do you have to torture him with poison when he is terminally ill? Just to have fun?

Li Zhaoxian said: "Mr.'s benevolence and righteousness can be seen clearly below, and he will also tell his father clearly below." ”

Seeing Zhang Zhou treating himself so "regardless of his previous suspicions", Li Zhaoxian was also a little moved, and he even began to believe that those poisons could really cure his illness gradually, or at least delay the disease, so that he could live a normal life for a few years.

"No, I don't have righteousness in my heart." Zhang Zhoudao.

"Huh?"

Li Zhaoxian saw that Zhang Zhou's way of speaking was different from that of ordinary readers, and he was almost depressed.

Zhang Zhouzheng said: "There is no doctor in the world who is willing to risk the world's scolding to treat a disease that is almost completely incurable, and to face a colleague who has never been treated with him." If it weren't for His Majesty's understanding of Li Ge's weakness, he wouldn't have sent me...... If it weren't for His Majesty's instructions, I would never have taken the initiative to undertake such a thankless task. ”

"This ...... Be. ”

Li Zhaoxian lowered his head.

Previously, he avoided Zhang Zhou.

For nothing else, Zhang Zhou's identity and status in the court are very embarrassing, and even he, Li Zhaoxian, did not look down on Zhang Zhou, a person who used the so-called heavenly machine and other things to get to power, and even regarded Zhang Zhou as a close man who brought disaster to the country and the people.

But after listening to Zhang Zhou's almost gasping words, he also began to understand Zhang Zhou's state of mind.

"Sir, you don't need to say it, it is precisely because of your benevolence and righteousness that you are so unsuspecting, in fact, the number of lives has already been set, and you don't have to be reluctant." Li Zhaoxian said.

Zhang Zhou nodded.

Zhang Zhou treated Li Zhaoxian and did not guarantee the ticket, also because he saw a kind of helplessness in Wang Yue after changing his life against the sky, and in the end, Wang Yue should go or go.

But it's not that there is no chance at all, at least Zhu Xiurong is alive and well now.

All I can say is...... Li Zhaoxian's illness is more complicated than Wang Yue and Zhu Xiurong, in other words, medicine has developed hundreds of years later, whether it is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, or antibiotics and targeted drugs, syphilis and gonorrhea are still difficult to cure, and they are still unpleasant.

Zhang Zhou is right.

The use of arsenic to treat Li Zhaoxian is more to prolong Li Zhaoxian's life, and there is no certainty that he will be cured at one time, and there is no way to make him full of children and grandchildren.

……

……

After Zhang Zhou consulted Li Zhao first, he explained the prescriptions that should be given through oral description.

In the end, even the prescription for the usage and dosage sorted out by Zhang Zhou was taken away on the spot.

Meaning...... If you want to listen to you, you will be cured, and if you don't want to listen, you will not be cured...... Anyway, I don't leave any paper evidence that I mean to harm you.

It's all up to you and your dad to choose.

When Li Dongyang returned to his house, his son had not yet returned, and after waiting for a long time, he saw Li Zhaoxian come back with brisk steps.

Li Dongyang's first thought was...... My son came back from his illness so quickly?

But when the father and son sat down and talked about the treatment alone, even including Zhang Zhou's initiative to reveal his identity and the prescription prescribed by Zhang Zhou, it was explained that Li Dongyang frowned, and he first felt a sense of anger that was fooled, and then fell into deep thought.

"Father, Mr. Zhang took the initiative to state his identity, he should be concerned about the prescription he used, which is beyond the tolerance of ordinary people, and only by telling his identity will he listen carefully."

Li Zhaoxian took the initiative to speak for Zhang Zhou.

still called Zhang Zhou "sir" in front of his father, which was also to show his trust in Zhang Zhou, and wanted to take the initiative to try Zhang Zhou's prescription to fight poison with poison.

Li Dongyang said: "What else did he say? ”

Li Zhaoxian said: "He said a lot of things, but in the final analysis, he doesn't need to take care of this matter, even if he cures his son, his father may not remember his merits." What are the three advantages and two shortcomings of the son in the course of treatment, and the father will still hold a grudge for this...... The son is willing to believe him, so he also asks his father not to mind his uprightness, so that the son can use medicine with peace of mind. ”

"No, don't ......"

Li Dongyang is not as free and easy as his son.

In the matter of treating his son, Lao Li obviously endured more than Xiao Li.

Young people don't know the importance of family incense, but Lao Li knows that the Li family's incense can't be cut off in his own vein...... He would now rather let his son slow down his illness and leave him a grandson than let his son use any poison.

Incense is Lao Li's heart knot.

Because the drug is likely to be a result...... died early, and even the hope of holding his grandson was broken.
