Chapter 15 Sun Simiao
Chapter 15 Sun Simiao
Du He is tired.
The people he is going to meet here are all his elders.
Some have good attitudes, and some have bad attitudes.
If he hadn't held the Crown Prince's order and given the Crown Prince some face, the situation would have been even more embarrassing.
“This is the last one.”
Prince of Hejian, Li Xiaogong.
Du He looked at the Prince's mansion. He had experienced all kinds of storms along the way and was not afraid at all.
However, when he went in and took a look, he was a little confused.
Good guy.
People outside say that the Prince of Hejian is extravagant, generous, and indulges in wine and sex.
Seeing it today, it is indeed true.
The singing of birds and the dancing of swallows, the playing of harps and flutes are dazzling to the onlookers.
He had just come back to his senses from the graceful beauty when Li Xiaogong called him over.
"Captain of the Imperial Consort's House, please sit down and drink and enjoy the dance first."
Li Xiaogong was drunk, his face was red, and his tone was drunken.
"Meet the Prince of Hejian."
Du He was still polite. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince. However, I have orders to follow and I dare not delay."
"I heard that the prince asked you to come. What's the matter? Tell me."
Li Xiaogong said casually, his eyes still fixed on the dancer, and he did not forget to drink.
Du He's mouth twitched. He was the Prince of Hejian and had the confidence to do so.
"The Crown Prince has ordered that the Prince of Hejian select a son to enter the Eastern Palace..."
Before Du He finished speaking, Li Xiaogong drunkenly said, "The prince wants someone."
"No problem. My second son has nowhere to go. He will go to the East Palace to take orders tomorrow."
Du He didn't expect that the Prince of Hejian would be so straightforward.
No matter it's drunken talk or regret after sobering up.
There is no room for anything.
He was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
At this moment, Li Xiaogong suddenly covered his chest with his hands, looking extremely painful.
Everyone present realized that something was wrong.
"Prince, what happened to the Prince?"
"Your Highness."
The mansion was in chaos and Du He looked confused and at a loss as to what to do.
Everything was fine just now, how come it suddenly became like this?
"You must report this to the prince."
This was Du He's only thought.
……
East Palace.
Li Chengqian is meeting with a famous doctor who will go down in history.
Miracle doctor, Sun Simiao!
This miracle doctor, who is over 80 years old, travels among the people, yet he is still strong and has a youthful face.
According to historical records, he lived to be 142 years old.
It's not about longevity, it's about longevity.
After Li Chengqian was sent out from the East Factory, he ordered Zhang Sizheng to secretly search for Sun Simiao's whereabouts. Once he was found, he was immediately sent to Chang'an with courtesy.
Today, this miracle doctor was finally invited to the palace.
"Doctor Sun, is there any chance that my leg disease can be cured?"
Li Chengqian asked.
"I need to take a look first." Sun Simiao was not overconfident. In fact, he knew what the prince was doing before he came.
However, when he met the prince, he felt a little disappointed.
Look forward to hearing and asking.
The word "looking" comes first, which is the basic skill of a doctor.
He had roughly judged that the prince was not doing well based on the fact that he was lame.
Li Chengqian lifted up his trouser legs, and Sun Simiao fumbled around for a while, his expression becoming more and more solemn and serious, and finally he sighed and remained silent for a long time. Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian felt a little disappointed.
After all, having a limp is unsightly, unsightly and bad for one's posture and figure.
But he didn't force it.
Of course it’s good if it can be cured.
If it can't be cured, he won't force it.
If there was no lame emperor, it is possible that he could be the first one.
"Good doctor, please tell me the diagnosis as soon as possible." Li Chengqian said in a relaxed tone.
"If it was earlier, I would have had some solutions, but it has become a serious disease and the leg disease is difficult to recover. I am powerless to do anything."
Sun Simiao shook his head slightly. It was really not right that a crown prince should suffer from a leg disease due to delay.
“There’s just no cure.”
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "It's okay. It's not like I lost a leg. By comparison, I don't have to use a cane to walk anymore, which is much better."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has a very open-minded personality." Sun Simiao sighed.
"Now that things have come to this, can I still indulge in self-pity and sink into despair?" Li Chengqian said indifferently.
Sun Simiao said: "But it is not impossible to improve it."
"Improvement?" Li Chengqian was stunned.
"I can use fumigation, medicinal soup, plasters, etc. to help each other improve the severity of your highness's lameness."
Sun Simiao said slowly: "It may not be as obvious as it is now. If the effect is good, it will be difficult to distinguish."
"This is a compromise. If it can't be cured, it's also a way to improve it."
Li Chengqian approved of this treatment method and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Sun to improve my condition."
"Your Highness is the Crown Prince, the heir apparent of the country, and I, a commoner, shall do my best."
Li Chengqian was in a good mood and began to ask about Sun Simiao's medical experience among the people.
"Your Highness may not see the suffering of the people, but I, the common people, can often see life and death."
Sun Simiao said with some compassion: "Some people have no medicine to cure, some people have no money to cure, and some people are seriously ill and die suddenly without knowing it."
"Others were seriously ill in bed, with no one to take care of them, and were not discovered until many days after their death."
What makes Sun Simiao worthy of respect is his medical expertise and his medical ethics.
In the early years of Zhenguan period, Li Er summoned Sun Simiao and prepared to confer him a title and an official position, but Sun Simiao declined all the offers and ran around among the people to save their lives.
Perhaps practice reveals the truth, or perhaps the increase in the number of diseases is beneficial to medical skills.
Anyway, Sun Simiao did not serve as an official in the court. He traveled among the people, accumulated valuable worldly experience, wrote books and biographies, and left behind precious medical classics, which benefited millions of people in later generations.
Li Chengqian waited until Sun Simiao finished speaking before he asked, "Sir, why do ordinary people have so much trouble with illness and just wait to die?"
"Your Highness, you don't know that a prescription of herbal medicine costs dozens or even hundreds of coins. How can ordinary people afford it?"
Sun Simiao sighed and said, "A few dozen coins may be the food rations for a family to survive. They would rather die than get sick."
“This does not include the consultation fee.”
"From your words, I heard a few messages." Li Chengqian said: "The people are very poor."
"poverty?"
Sun Simiao paused, then nodded with a wry smile, "The people are poor."
"But the Tang Dynasty is very wealthy."
Li Chengqian said: "The wealthy ones are the aristocratic families."
Sun Simiao remained silent. He traveled all over the country. Hadn't he seen the sufferings of the people along the way?
seen.
What can I do if I see it?
"Medicinal materials are very expensive." Li Chengqian said.
"Medicinal materials are rare, and things are valuable because they are rare. There is no reason why they should not be expensive," said Sun Simiao.
Li Chengqian: "The consultation fee is also expensive."
Sun Simiao shook his head: "I don't charge for consultation."
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "It seems that you are blinded by a single leaf and cannot see the big picture."
"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"
Li Chengqian was about to explain when he saw Du He coming in in a panic.
"Your Highness, the Prince of Hejian suddenly fell ill and the situation is unpredictable."
Li Chengqian's eyes fell on Sun Simiao.
What a coincidence!
