Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Eternal Evil Arts—Foot Binding
Soon, Fan Zheng put a plaster cast on Zhao Ji's fracture.
Looking at the fast-hardening plaster bandage, which perfectly fixed Zhao Ji's fracture, even the imperial physician Ling Chaoyuan couldn't find any fault with this party.
Zhao Ji solved his worries, and said in a good mood at the moment: "Doctor Fan, what do you want this king to do, just say it bluntly, even if it is to raise pigs like Brother Jiu, of course, it is best to let this king go to Keju, in the future, this king will be good, organize Keju every day, and ensure that the business of your traditional Chinese medicine hospital will prosper." ”
His Royal Highness King Duan laughed, I hope there is no suffering in the world, and I would rather put medicine on the shelf. Chinese medicine hospitals are places to treat patients, and they do not want business to prosper. Fan Zheng shook his head.
"I hope there is no suffering in the world, and I would rather put medicine on the shelf and produce dust." Zhao Li, who was extremely studious, couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and was once again moved by Fan Zheng's talent.
"Fan Lang is a Chinese medicine practitioner who is benevolent, I admire it very much, but you have healed the eleventh brother's bone injury, which is really a great achievement, what do you want, even if you say it bluntly, I will not hesitate to reward." Zhao Xu pointed out.
He knows what Fan Zheng's biggest heart problem is now? As soon as Fan Zheng opened his mouth, he directly made the final decision, directly gave Fan and Li marriage, and completely drew Fan Zheng to his side.
Empress Dowager Gao naturally knew Zhao Xu's purpose, but Fan Zheng had just healed her grandson, and she was inconvenient to object, so she could only acquiesce in the matter.
Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but this time, Fan wants the Empress Dowager to pay for the consultation fee later." ”
"Huh?"
Empress Dowager Gao was furious when she heard this, she didn't expect that she had already acquiesced to the official family's compensation for Fan Zheng, and he didn't know what to do, so he wanted to let herself bow to him personally.
"Then you say, what reward do you want for you?" Empress Dowager Gao said coldly.
"Now His Royal Highness King Duan has been spared the suffering of foot disease, and there are countless women in the world who are suffering from foot disease! Even if medicine is ten times more sophisticated, it will be difficult to cure. Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"It's coming! The evil recipe is coming! Zhao Yan exclaimed in his heart, he was extremely familiar with this sentence, and when Fan Zheng asked him to raise pigs, he started with such words.
"Women in the world suffer from foot diseases? Is this true? Empress Dowager Gao exclaimed, she is the empress dowager, but the lord of women in the world, and she was shocked when she heard this.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Yes, if it is said that His Royal Highness King Duan's fracture left a foot disease is an accident, and there can be medical skills to treat it, but it is a man-made disaster that has caused countless women's foot diseases in the world to be bound by evil techniques, even if the medical skills are ten times better, it is still difficult to cure the foot disease caused by foot binding." ”
"Foot binding?" Empress Dowager Gao was stunned, she didn't expect that the foot disease she said turned out to be foot binding, she was a woman, so she naturally knew about women's foot binding, and even some women in the palace were foot binding.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, if the feet of women in the world grow normally, they are about six inches and three to seven inches, and six inches is already a small foot, but no matter how big or small the foot is, as long as the normal growth will not affect life, but now Kaifeng City is prevalent in foot binding, which is wrapped layer by layer through external forces, hindering the natural growth of the foot, squeezing the normal bones together, making the foot deformed and broken, and making every step of the woman who binds the foot like torture, only for one purpose - three inches of golden lotus!" ”
Although everyone present had not experienced the pain of foot binding, they couldn't help but sweat just by listening to what Fan Zheng said.
"You said that the three-inch golden lotus is a foot disease?" Empress Dowager Gao said with a strange face.
Fan Zheng nodded heavily and said: "Now that all the imperial doctors are here, the Empress Dowager can personally inquire whether such feet can be called foot diseases if they can grow at least six inches, but they are squeezed to three inches, they can't run, they need to be supported when they walk, and their bones are dislocated and deformed. ”
At that moment, Empress Dowager Gao swept her eyes to the group of imperial doctors, and all the imperial doctors were silent, after all, Zhao Ji's accidental injury and slight misalignment of bones may lead to foot disease, not to mention this kind of bone crack, which is simply a foot disease within a foot disease.
Chao Yuan was unconvinced: "Foot binding is indeed called a foot disease in the eyes of medicine, but this is a social custom, and it is done voluntarily by women, and doctors can't do anything about it." ”
"Voluntarily?" Fan Zheng sneered, "Fan has never heard of a normal person who is willing to harm himself, and it is not caused by secular prejudice or unhealthy trends. ”
"Fan Langzhong can't veto the world's foot-bound women because of his own concepts, Chao heard that the Chinese medicine hospital defines foot-bound women as disabled, which is probably prejudice." Chao Yuan sneered.
"Hahaha! Now I finally know why medical skills have stagnated, and it is the existence of quacks like you. Fan Zheng smiled angrily.
"The doctor hangs the pot to help the world, and the imperial doctor Ling, as the leader of the world's doctors, turns a blind eye to the harm of close relatives' marriage, and now protects the unhealthy trend of foot binding, and sits back and watches the women of the world artificially disabled. Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Fan Zheng, don't spew blood! Foot binding has been practiced since ancient times, and it is not the fault of the healers. Chao Yuan's face turned red, and he said angrily.
Fan Zheng sneered: "The wind of foot binding has existed since ancient times, but it is all caused by women in order to invite pets, the number is very small, the real rumor that the folk began to bind their feet in the Sui Dynasty, according to legend, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal, there are not enough men, forced to recruit women, women all over the world in order to avoid hard labor, have bound their feet to self-harm to avoid forced labor, this is foot binding is one of the evidence of foot disease. ”
Zhao Xu nodded, as an emperor, he must be proficient in history books and learn from history, the tyrant Emperor Yang of Sui is a frequent visitor who is often whipped by important ministers, so he naturally knows this record.
"And the real recorded foot binding began in the Southern Tang Dynasty after the main dancer Lady Niang, its beauty is more than able to sing and dance, Li Houzhu specially made a six-foot high golden lotus, decorated with jewelry ribbons, ordered the Lady to wrap the feet with silk, so that the feet are slender and bent to make a crescent moon, now this wind has spread from the palace to the people, foot binding has become a symbol of the status of the upper class women, so that the number of foot binding has skyrocketed, if not stopped in time, it is bound to become a prairie fire, poisoning the world's women." Fan Zhengzheng color road.
"Fan Langzhong, it's too alarmist.
However, Chao Yuan was unimpressed, after all, there were only a few people who bound their feet, and they were all voluntary, so what did they have to do with the doctor.
Fan Zheng said in a deep voice: "Caomin knows a woman, she has a proud personality but is cute, knowledgeable but dares to break through the world, and is talented from a scholarly family but does not dislike Caomin............ a doctor. ”
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, who were they naturally talking about? Now that the love between Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao is known to the world, according to common sense, Fan and Li are so in love, Li's father is hard-hearted heart should also be moved and fulfill the two, but now the marriage between the two still has no hope.
Empress Dowager Gao sighed in her heart, the matter of Fan and Li was in such an impasse, and it had a lot to do with her, she had just decided that as long as Fan Zheng spoke, she would agree to marry the two.
"However, such a strange woman, but because of secular prejudice and family pressure, she took the initiative to bind her feet, she said that men in the world love three-inch golden lotus, and the famous and noble women in Bianjing City are all bound to their feet, which is the direction of the upper class nobles." Fan Zheng continued.
Even Empress Dowager Gao nodded slightly, which was the reason why she was unwilling to take care of this matter.
"Some people may say that the grass people are meddling in their affairs, but in the eyes of doctors, the harm of foot binding is more than kissing and kissing, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and the palace is starving to death, and now the wind of foot binding has spread from the palace to the upper class women, and even the first strange woman in the ages is not immune to being affected, not to mention ordinary women, if time will definitely spread the wind of foot binding all over the world, and now the Great Song Dynasty is already poor and weak, if you lose half of the women's labor force, ............."
Empress Dowager Gao was suddenly startled, gasped, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
After all, the marriage of close relatives is a minority, and the wind of foot binding can endanger women all over the world, even if there are women from ordinary families who do not bind their feet, it may not be popular in a short time, but Empress Dowager Gao did not dare to bet, she knew the situation of the Great Song Dynasty very well, it was already stormy, not to mention the loss of half of the labor force, that is, the loss of one percent of the labor force, it was also a fatal blow to the Great Song Dynasty.
Fan Zheng bowed and said: ""The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" cloud: If you don't treat the disease, if you let the foot binding poison rage, let the women of the world be in danger, and the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, and ask the Empress Dowager to order a ban on foot binding, this is the consultation fee that the grass people need to pay. ”
"Healer!"
Everyone in the palace couldn't help sighing, looking at Fan Zheng solemnly, everyone in the world said that the evil doctor Fan Zheng loved to prescribe evil prescriptions, but they didn't know that Fan Zheng's medical skills were the art of healing ten thousand people, whether it was the method of plaster cast, or the harm of foot binding in today's statement, what he asked for was not to save one person, but to save tens of thousands of people.
