Chapter Thirty: Power Overwhelms People
The Imperial Doctor's surname is Xu, and is affiliated with the Imperial Doctor's Office. The Imperial Doctor's Office is similar to a hospital specializing in the royal family. Of course, the emperor also sent doctors from the Imperial Doctor's Office to treat close ministers, and the Imperial Doctor's Office is managed by Taichang Temple. It has "one chief, two people, two doctors and hundreds of others."
Doctors were a very respectable group in ancient times. In ancient times, scholars often said, "If you don't be a good minister, you will be a good doctor." "The best doctor will treat the country, and the next is the doctor." These remarks compare the important officials of the country with the doctors who saved the world.
Perhaps there was an example of an emperor killing the imperial physician with anger in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but before the Song Dynasty, it was not the emperor who had the final say in the world, but the emperor and the literati and officials ruled the world together. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang did not believe this sentence, so he was miserable and was overthrown by the literati class monopolized by the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong geniuses.
The doctor who knows how to study and prescribes medicine is naturally a member of the literati and doctoral level, let alone the imperial physician orders of grades!
So at this moment, the Doctor Xu was ashamed of being poor in medical skills, but he was not afraid of the consequences of not curing Li Ke.
In ancient times when medical treatment was extremely underdeveloped, it was common to die a son. Song Shenzong of the Song Dynasty gave birth to fourteen sons and eight died. No one was required to be cured?
Hearing Li Yuan's words, "Can you see?", Doctor Xu was slightly stunned and looked up at Li Yuan in surprise. The royal family has always had weak family affection. For the third son of the emperor, Li Ke, Li Shimin, the biological father, has rarely seen him...
Every emperor basically has a ruthless personality, which is very consistent with the standards of scumbags in later generations, except for Emperor Xiaozong of Ming, after all, he only has one wife.
"If your Majesty wants to see it, you are not right, but I am afraid that the King of Han will suffer from an epidemic..." Doctor Xu gritted his teeth, sighed, and said, "The epidemic is often reported in medical books, and autumn is the season when it turns from warm to cold..."
The King of Han was named Li Ke. Li Ke is not the familiar King of Wu that later generations. It was not until the eleventh year of Zhenguan that he changed his title to King of Wu.
"The epidemic is over? Concubine Yang and the third prince are really poor..." A concubine sneered.
"How could the third prince be so smart? Why did he suffer from this terminal illness? If he gets into this disease, he will have no way to survive. Concubine Yang's life is so hard."
"A child of seven or eight years old in my hometown was replaced by an epidemic, killing a family of five. Finally, the county government burned clean."
......
When I heard the concubines' words becoming increasingly ugly, they sounded at first glance, which was caring and considerate, but the tone of the speech was without exception, and they were gloating. The city gate caught fire and the city was not panicked.
Changsun Wugui's phoenix eyes were slightly angry, his pretty face was tense, and he finally couldn't bear it and shouted: "Shut up"
He married into the Qin Prince's Mansion at the age of thirteen and has been a wife for so many years. How could he be able to be kind and not break up?
Under Changsun Wuque's majestic gaze, the concubine of good deeds was boring, and covered her red lips with a small ball of fan, curled her lips, and soon became silent.
"Doctor Xu, please continue to say, is Ke'er suffering from an epidemic? Is there any way to treat it?" After Changsun Wugui scolded the concubines, he was very careful when he heard the words of Doctor Xu. If he grasped the word "fear", it would mean that it was possible, but not necessarily.
Doctor Xu held Chang Ran, frowned and loosened his brows, licked his dry lips, and said, "Go back to the Queen, I am not an exaggeration. Ordinary people usually take a decoction and sweat after resting for a few hours. The disease will be cured by most of the disease, but the third prince has been slow to get high fever. According to previous cases, if the decoction does not work, it will be almost an epidemic."
"And the most contagious thing about this epidemic is the elderly and children. The Supreme Emperor is old. Even if the children and grandchildren are in love, they should not ignore their safety."
Changsun Wugui nodded in agreement and said softly: "What Doctor Xu said is reasonable, father-in-law, this matter is indeed harmful to you, so my wife will go and see it on your behalf..."
But before Changsun Wugui finished speaking, he heard a sneer of "hehe".
The sound is long and lasting.
"Doctor Xu, I have read basic medical books in the past. I will not agree with what you said." Li Yuan said lightly.
He had read books for a few years in his previous life, and was weak and sick, so he had a few colds every year, and he had a deeper understanding of the cold after one or two times.
Colds are divided into common colds and influenza. The scientific name of common cold is upper respiratory tract infection. There are many reasons: cold, climate mutations, excessive fatigue, etc., which may cause the bacteria to reproduce rapidly in the nasal cavity. Because the mucosa secreted by the mucosal glands of the respiratory tract contain lysozyme, which can kill bacteria. Therefore, under stimulation, a large amount of mucus secreted and a nasal snot is produced.
Influenza is not an ordinary bacterial infection, but an influenza infection, similar to SARS virus.
Influenza viruses are the culprits that caused the epidemic. Li Yuan did not believe that there was a way to treat this disease in ancient times. The only way to deal with it was to isolate and burn to avoid more people from being infected. In his previous life's memory, Li Ke did not die prematurely, so he said this sentence with confidence:
"Dr. Xu judged that Ke'er had an epidemic because he failed to reduce his fever. However, what I saw in medical books is that strong people often get cured in one or two hours. It is common for weak people to suffer from wind and cold for several days. Doctor Xu, this is a misdiagnosis!"
When Doctor Xu heard this 'paradox', his beard was trembling. If an ordinary person had already left and cursed, he was the emperor in front of him. He had no choice but to suppress his temperament and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have been practicing medicine for 43 years, and there are no less than a thousand cases of typhoid fever. If... I have never heard of such a theory, I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is this medical book?"
Of course, Doctor Xu had never heard of modern medical theory. Li Yuan felt like a mirror in his heart. Since ancient times, most doctors have read the script, and the things left by his ancestors have not improved at all. They are all accumulated through experience.
But experience cannot be eaten as a meal, nor can it be subject to scientific consideration. Of course, Li Yuan did not belittle traditional Chinese medicine, but Chinese and Western medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages. Have you seen someone who has a cold in the future who went to traditional Chinese medicine for treatment?
Moreover, Doctor Xu also had selfish thoughts. Even if he exaggerated Li Ke's condition, he would not be too angry with him if he died. After all, medicine will not kill anyone!
This is something that everyone knows. Li Yuan exposed it nakedly. Where can I put Doctor Xu’s face? How can I stay in Xinglin in the future?
So Li Yuan said: "I can read this medical book casually, but I can't remember the name. But I don't joke, do you think I'm lying to you?"
Doctor Xu didn't dare to answer, this was a dead word. To say that he believed was to smash his own sign, and to say that he didn't believe was to smash the emperor's sign. He didn't dare to do anything! So his face turned red and blue, but he had no choice but to feel a lot of grievances, he would have to put him in his heart.
