Volume 1 Chapter 7 The Doctor Enters the Palace
After just one treatment, Li Hong discovered that some wonderful changes had taken place in his body. The inflammation accumulated in his body seemed to be reduced a lot, and his spirit was much better than before. After getting up in the morning, he felt an indescribable feeling of comfort.
He knew that Sun Simiao's treatment had an effect. To be precise, after Sun Simiao taught him a breathing formula yesterday, he practiced it for two hours at noon and evening yesterday, and his body became what it is today.
change.
In addition to being happy, Li Hong decided to take Sun Simiao into the palace today to diagnose and treat Emperor Gaozong.
When Emperor Gaozong finished his morning court session, it would usually be three quarters past four o'clock. Li Hong and Sun Simiao came to the front hall of the Linde Hall of the Daming Palace at noon.
At this time, Gaozong, who had just left the court, looked very tired and was resting on the couch. Empress Wu did not go to the Zichen Hall alone to handle government affairs today, but stayed by his side.
"See the Emperor Father and the Empress Mother!" Li Hong walked into the Linde Hall and saluted Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu.
Because Gaozong was too tired, he just waved his hand and said nothing. But Empress Wu stared at Li Hong curiously and asked softly, "Hong'er! No need to be polite. Why are you here at Linde Hall?"
"Mother, the famous doctor Sun Simiao invited by me from Zhongnan Mountain yesterday arrived in Chang'an City. I came to Linde Hall today specifically to ask him to diagnose and treat my father." Li Hong explained to Empress Wu respectfully.
"Famous doctor?" When Emperor Gaozong heard that Li Hong had invited a famous doctor to treat him, he seemed to be much more energetic and said, "Is this the Sun Simiao you told me about last time?"
"Yes. It's the Sun Simiao whom I told my father last time." Li Hong nodded. Seeing Empress Wu staring at him with a puzzled expression, he briefly introduced Sun Simiao's situation to Empress Wu and Gaozong, and then
He told them that Sun Simiao had treated him yesterday and that he looked much better today.
After listening to Li Hong's words, Empress Wu and Gaozong turned their eyes to Li Hong's face. Their eyes suddenly lit up because they both found that Li Hong looked much better today than the last time they saw him.
His eyes are clear and clear, and there is a healthy look between his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect that Sun Simiao has such excellent medical skills?" Gaozong was amazed when he saw Li Hong's change, and said to Empress Wu, "Queen, since this Sun Simiao has such excellent medical skills, let him diagnose and treat me.
Bar!"
Empress Wu looked a little unhappy, but she did not object. Instead, she nodded slightly and said, "Hong'er, let Sun Simiao diagnose and treat your father!"
"No!" Li Hong bowed and whispered a few words to a young eunuch in the Linde Hall. The young eunuch accepted the order and immediately exited the Linde Hall in small steps. When he came back again, he was followed by Sun Simiao.
Sun Simiao followed the young eunuch into the Linde Hall and bowed to Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu.
"Master Sun, there is no need to be polite!" Gaozong said in a calm tone, and then turned his eyes to Sun Simiao. Empress Wu also looked at Sun Simiao carefully as soon as he stepped into the hall. They saw that Sun Simiao had an immortal demeanor and was out of this world.
With the demeanor of an expert, I no longer doubt what Li Hong said.
"Hong'er said that Sun Zhenren has superb medical skills and can cure all kinds of diseases, so my disease must be solved by Sun Zhenren!" Gaozong said politely. He was always very easy-going in dealing with others, and rarely showed the domineering and domineering attitude of an emperor.
Sun Simiao bowed slightly and said, "Let me feel your Majesty's pulse first!"
Gaozong nodded slightly.
At this time, the chamberlain on the side understood and quickly placed the beautifully sewn pulse pillow on the table. Emperor Gaozong placed his right hand flat on the pulse pillow.
Sun Simiao put three fingers on Gaozong's right wrist. After a long time, he finished diagnosing the pulse and began to ask Gaozong about some symptoms of wind disease.
Emperor Gaozong did not hide anything and truthfully told Sun Simiao his pain and feelings.
After hearing this, Sun Simiao fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty's illness is congenital and cannot be cured by medicine!"
Ever since Emperor Gaozong suffered from wind disease, he has sought out many famous doctors for diagnosis and treatment, but there has been no cure. He originally didn't have much expectations for Sun Simiao, but now that he heard what Sun Simiao said, he didn't feel much disappointed.
color.
"However, I do have a prescription that can alleviate your majesty's pain and relieve the onset of the disease." Sun Simiao said again, "It just requires your majesty to insist on taking the medicine for a long time to be effective."
It can relieve his own pain and relieve the onset of the disease, which is the sound of nature to the current Emperor Gaozong. Therefore, he asked Sun Simiao to prescribe the medicine and asked the Taiyuan Hospital to boil the medicine for him.
After Sun Simiao wrote the prescription and handed it to the chamberlain on the side, Gaozong, who was overjoyed, began to reward him with a lot of gold, silver and money.
Sun Simiao did not refuse.
Just when Emperor Gaozong was about to appoint Sun Simiao as an imperial physician and let him serve in the Imperial Medical Office, Li Hong suddenly sent a petition saying that he was going to ask Sun Simiao to go to the East Palace to work with him to revise, supplement and standardize medical works. High School and Empress Wu
With a look of confusion on his face, Li Hong told them that he wanted to revise, supplement and standardize his medical writings.
After hearing this, Gaozong didn't say anything else, but his face was a little unhappy.
Because Li Hong was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was the one who would share more of his government pressure in the future in order to check the power of Empress Wu. But now he was compiling medical books without doing his job, how could he be happy?
Just because Sun Simiao had just diagnosed and treated him and prescribed an effective medicine for his condition, his idea of reprimanding Li Hong in person seemed a bit disrespectful to Sun Simiao, so he remained silent and looked closely at Li Hong.
Staring at Li Hong, trying to see something in Li Hong's eyes.
Li Hong knew what Gaozong was thinking, so he didn't dare to look at him directly and lowered his head a little aggrievedly.
When Empress Wu heard what Li Hong said, her eyes lit up.
Li Hong was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Gaozong was very fond of him. In October of the third year of Longshuo, he ordered Crown Prince Hong to inspect the affairs of various ministries in Guangshun Gate every five days. Li Hong could be authorized to do anything as long as it was relatively minor.
Judge for yourself.
Therefore, Li Hong now has a great say in the court. If Li Hong continues to develop like this, as he grows up, the power in his hands will be divided sooner or later.
This was something Empress Wu did not want to see.
Now Li Hong is compiling some medical books without doing his job. Isn't that what she wants?
Empress Wu was full of joy and said: "Your Majesty, since Hong'er has this idea, we should support him. Besides, he corrects, supplements and standardizes medical works. Isn't he just trying to find out in the ancient medical books with Sun Zhenren how to do it?"
Any prescription for curing your ailment? He is so benevolent and filial, how can we live up to his filial piety towards you?"
With Empress Wu supporting Li Hong, Gaozong was a little helpless. He withdrew his gaze and asked, "What do the ministers in the East Palace say?"
"Because they don't know medical skills, they are not prepared to participate, but they are willing to recommend talents in this field to their ministers." Li Hong knew that Gaozong had relented, so he immediately replied.
"Since you have made a decision, I will say nothing more." Gaozong thought for a moment and said, "I will allocate one hundred thousand dollars from the treasury to you. As for the personnel you need to revise, supplement and standardize medical works,
, just recruit yourself! But don’t let my father down this time.”
There was also an overtone in Gaozong's words, which was that he was a little disappointed with Li Hong's decision.
But now Li Hong could think of nothing else. Gaozong agreed to his request. He was already overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed to thank him.
