Chapter 131 The House of Ice Cutting, No Cattle and Sheep
Li Qing reviewed the medical books left by his master bit by bit, and then made some modifications to the previously planned treatment plan.
After confirming again and again that it was correct, I felt confident.
"Three qian of angelica root, two qian of chuanxiong, three qian of white peony root, three qian of rehmannia glutinosa, 10 qian of dangshen, 5 qian of angelica dahurica, 9 qian of tangerine peel..."
Li Qing has more than twenty kinds of prescriptions this time, all of which are nourishing herbs with mild medicinal properties.
The reason why I didn't give Empress Ma nourishment before was because she was too weak at that time and couldn't take supplements. But after this period of cultivation, she can now take supplements.
This is also the last card that Li Qing can play. The next time Queen Ma fails to make up for it, the deadline is approaching.
After finishing the work, it was already dark.
The next stage of treatment will begin tomorrow, so Li Qing no longer had any romantic thoughts and had a good night's sleep.
The next day.
At dawn, Li Qing put on his clothes and when he came to the yard, Wan Ling had already prepared breakfast.
"Sir, please go back to work after breakfast." Wan Ling came over with her sleeves rolled up, "My servant steamed the meat buns. I went to buy some pickles yesterday, so I can make porridge."
"Getting up so early?" Li Qing was surprised.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to wipe off the flour on the tip of her nose and joked, "She has become a little cat."
Wan Ling said softly, her face flushed, "If I don't serve you, sir, I will naturally have to make up for it elsewhere."
"Uh... you're still young..." Li Qing didn't know how to answer the question, so he picked up two meat buns and said, "I'm going to get busy."
Looking at Li Qing's leaving figure, Wan Ling pouted her little mouth, looked down, couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and sighed to herself:
"Sir, what he said is that it is indeed a little smaller. Compared with the two sisters, it is indeed a lot worse."
She was a little annoyed, but this was not what she wanted to grow up to. She stretched out her hand to shake it and muttered: "It's not as good as her sisters, but it's not bad, right?"
…
Qianqing Palace.
Li Qing handed the prescription to the serving little palace maid, and then took out the wooden box left in the palace, "My Lady, we are about to start acupuncture. The first few injections will be a bit painful."
"It's okay." Queen Ma took a breath and relaxed herself, "Let's get started."
Li Qing first gave her acupuncture using the previous treatment method, and then said, "My Lady, it's time to prick her back."
"Yes." Queen Ma turned over and comforted, "Don't be nervous, just relax."
"Hey." Li Qing smiled, picked up a silver needle, and stabbed it accurately on the second lumbar spine through the clothes.
This is the Mingmen point, and acupuncture stimulation can effectively promote blood circulation, regulate heart and kidney function, and balance yin and yang.
Li Qing gently twisted the silver needle, and a flash of pain immediately appeared on Queen Ma's face, which gradually worsened.
After a while, Li Qing stopped twisting the silver needle, picked up another one and stabbed it at Shenshu point.
The kidney is the foundation of the body, and the strength of the kidney qi is directly related to disease and aging. Acupuncture at this point can replenish the kidney element.
Next is the Zhishi point, which also has the effect of strengthening kidney yuan, replenishing essence and replenishing qi.
Later, there are Weizhong point, Chengshan point, Taixi point...
Two-quarters of an hour later, Li Qing pulled out all the silver needles, sterilized them, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Acupuncture was not an easy job. A few mistakes in position and depth could lead to an irreversible situation.
"Are you ready?" Queen Ma asked.
Li Qing nodded, "It will take some time to cook the medicine. How about I play a song for the empress?"
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Li Qing walked aside, took off the banjo, plucked the strings, and quickly got into the mood.
Acupuncture combined with the resonance of piano music gave Queen Ma a sense of transparency, as if the huge boulder pressing on her body was being lifted little by little.
Half an hour later, the palace maid came in with the cooked medicine and carefully fed it to Queen Ma.
As soon as Li Qing finished playing, he realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was standing behind him at some point, "Wei Chen..."
"Come out with us."
"...Okay."
The two came to the front hall one after another, and Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Is the queen's illness really as serious as you said?"
"Well, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it."
"They are just a bunch of drunkards, afraid of taking any responsibility." Zhu Yuanzhang was very irritated and paused, "Where is your master?"
"I don't know," Li Qing said, "In fact, even if he comes, he can't do much."
What he told was the truth. Of course, he also wanted to avoid causing trouble to Master.
"He is so popular among the people that he can't do anything about it?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it.
Li Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Not many people can treat patients. There is a huge difference between the good doctors they call good doctors and the good doctors in the real sense.
Besides, Master is very old, over 70 years old, where can he still get acupuncture?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, "Can you let our girl survive this year?"
Li Qing nodded: "Theoretically, it is possible, but in that case... the queen will suffer some pain, and the queen is not willing to do that.
She wanted to spend her last moments with her children and grandchildren and do the things she liked, instead of lingering on the bed until her end."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent again. The vitality in his body gradually disappeared, and he looked older.
"She has suffered enough. Don't let her suffer anymore, but... let her live a little longer."
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer condescending, and his tone was full of pleading and longing; just like a husband from an ordinary family who was reluctant to leave his wife and asked for a doctor.
Li Qing said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best."
Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing more and walked towards the inner hall.
Looking at his slightly stooped back, Li Qing sighed softly and did not follow him in. He stood quietly outside the palace for a while and left the palace.
At noon, Liu Qiang and others rushed back from Bashu.
Li Qing did not eat at home and led a group of people to the restaurant.
After having had enough wine and food, Li Qing led everyone to the Zhenfu Division and told them that the Jinyi Guards had been fully recruited. "As for me, I have to go to the palace frequently to treat the empress's illnesses and train new recruits.
I’ll leave it to you.”
Liu Qiang cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will do my best in this humble position."
"We have experience in training newcomers, just take a look, sir!" Li Yu followed.
Li Qing smiled and took out the list he had already prepared from his arms, "Liu Qiang, I have officially appointed you to the rank of Qianhu in Jinyi."
"I obey my command." Liu Qiang knelt down on one knee, his whole body trembling with excitement.
Two months ago, he was just a member of a hundred households, and now he has become a member of a thousand households. How can he not be excited? It seems that he has only been promoted one level, but the number of people under his control has increased ten times, and his power has also increased ten times.
If it weren't for Li Qing, he might not be able to sit in the position of Thousand Households even after ten years.
"Okay, get up."
Li Qing continued, "Li Yu, I will appoint you as Dai Qianhu, with a probation period of two months. At the end of the period, I will make further arrangements based on your performance."
"Yes, I humbly obey my orders."
The subtext was so obvious that Li Yu naturally understood it.
If you want to become a regular employee, work hard!
"Zhang Long, appoint you as Dai Qianhu."
"Wang Qian, appoint you as acting deputy Qianhu."
"Liu Hao, appoint you as acting deputy Qianhu."
…
Those present were the same people who had put Li Qingliao in trouble before, and they were also the most capable and senior Jin Yiwei under him.
However, under the influence of Lao Zhu, Li Qing also habitually drew a big cake that everyone could see and eat.
"The day after tomorrow is the day for the new recruits to report. Train the new recruits well and make our Jinyiwei team stronger as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir."
Li Qing looked at the energetic people and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the list. You can divide it up in advance. Don't have any opinions later. Once it's done, it's settled."
"yes."
Liu Qiang and others gathered around and divided the names according to the names on the list, one for you and one for me.
Li Qing stood up and said: "I'm tired from traveling all the way. Let's go back and rest after the distribution. Come back early the day after tomorrow. If you have any questions, tell me. There's no need to send them away."
He doesn't have time to train new people now, so he can only leave it to Liu Qiang and Li Yu.
However, as long as he firmly grasps the power of personnel, the Jin Yiwei will always be under his control.
The power of personnel scheduling is the most important thing, otherwise among the six departments, the official department would not be so aloof and overpower the other five departments.
