Liu Xie was surprised and even a little uneasy about Ji Zhen’s confidence.
Confidence is a good thing, but I am afraid it is blind confidence.
Ji Zhen was also a close minister. When he saw Liu Xie's expression, he knew that Liu Xie was worried and quickly explained.
"Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for 18 years and have been the Imperial Physician Order for seven or eight years. I have seen no ten or eight times. I have witnessed the major epidemics in the second year of Guanghe and the second year of Zhongping. I have witnessed them myself.
It was during those major epidemics that I had made minor achievements and was promoted to the Imperial Physician Order. As Your Majesty just said, the symptoms of those Hu Shangs were very similar to those of the early 2nd year of Zhongping.”
"Isn't that very dangerous?" Liu Xie became nervous again.
The epidemic in the second year of Zhongping was very terrifying in his impression. At that time, "he" was only five years old and was still with Empress Dowager Dong in Nangong. Every time someone came from outside the palace, he would feel nervous.
Ji Zhen smiled and shook his hand. "Don't worry, even if the epidemic is on the rise, it will not be too serious. The reason why the epidemic in the capital was serious was that there were many people in the capital and there were close contacts. Especially those students
, do not study hard and travel around, causing the epidemic to get out of control. The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and every household is herding cattle and shepherding herding sheep, which is difficult to cause attacks.”
After hearing Ji Zhen's explanation, Liu Xie felt relieved.
"Even if this is the case, you cannot take it lightly."
"What Your Majesty said is so much, I will deploy personnel and prepare medicine." He thought for a while and said, "I may not be able to serve Your Majesty these days, so let my minister Yoshimoto stay with Your Majesty. He is very knowledgeable about medical principles,
If there is any abnormality, he can also deal with it in time."
When Liu Xie heard the name Yoshimoto, he moved slightly.
In the late Jian'an, the last blow of loyal ministers in the Han Dynasty on Cao Cao was Jiben, one of the participants, and he was the Imperial Physician Order at that time.
"When will the son come here?"
"I just arrived for half a month and have been learning the golden creation technique with Hua Tuo." When talking about his son, Ji Zhen showed a gratified smile on his face. "This son has been good at medical skills since he was a child. Before, the ministers did not let him study medicine, so he secretly did it.
If you learn, I have no choice but to do anything. Your Majesty summoned the doctor and I let him come."
Liu Xie also laughed.
Before, doctors were one of the craftsmen and had a low status, so few people were willing to learn. Since accepting Xun You's suggestion and changing the doctor to a doctor, the status of doctors has increased, and there have been many more people willing to study medicine.
As for the current population of northern Xinjiang, there is no shortage of doctors, only medicinal materials.
"What medicinal materials are needed? Report a list immediately. I will order someone to send them to Hedong with a quick horse."
"Which." Ji Zhen responded, took out the paper and pen from the medical box he carried with him, wrote a list and handed it to Liu Xie.
Although Ji Zhen was very confident, Liu Xie did not dare to be careless and strictly remained in isolation.
As Ji Zhen said, the northern border is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not difficult to cut off the transmission path. Apart from being unable to inspect everywhere and meet ministers, Liu Xie's life was not affected much.
But he couldn't contact outsiders, and suddenly he was free from his busy schedule, and Liu Xie was a little uncomfortable.
Yoshimoto, who just joined the service, suggested that he practice some guidance techniques to strengthen his physical fitness and regulate his body and mind. Regardless of whether he is infected with an epidemic or not, his body is strong and his mood is peaceful, he is always beneficial and harmless. The so-called solid foundation and strong energy, and external evil does not enter, compared to
Your own righteousness, medicine is just an auxiliary object, and acupuncture is just an emergency means.
He strongly recommends the Five Animal Show that he just learned from Hua Tuo.
Yoshimoto stood up just now, with a medium figure, a good appearance, and a little bookish. He spoke very seriously, staring at Liu Xie with bright eyes, forgot that as a minister, he could not look directly at the emperor's rules.
Pei Jun couldn't see it and scolded him. Then he realized and quickly apologized.
Liu Xie smiled and said, "In front of the doctor, all living beings are equal. If the emperor gets sick, he will die if he doesn't treat him. He hopes that he can hear, ask and feel the truth, but how can he diagnose the disease?"
Although Pei Jun was unhappy, he still retreated.
Yoshimoto was very embarrassed and dared not speak anymore.
"How to practice the Five Animal Show?" Liu Xie took the initiative to break the silence.
Seeing that Liu Xie was calm and he was not angry, Yoshimoto also let go of his psychological burden and taught Liu Xie to practice the Five Animal Play.
The five animal plays are divided into five styles: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird, and two movements in one style. There are ten movements in total. They are not complicated, but the effect is excellent.
Yoshimoto said this, and Liu Xie listened so.
The Five Animal Show has a great influence in later generations, but Liu Xie has never practiced it.
Before traveling through time, he had not reached the age of health preservation. After more than a hundred years of lows, the Chinese civilization had not yet recovered from the suppression of Western civilization and was on the road to revival. In the eyes of many people,
Traditional Chinese medicine is still pseudoscience, at least not mainstream science.
Although Liu Xie is not that extreme, he is also doubtful about the mysterious and mysterious theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
As for now, he is also extremely alert to the rise of metaphysics, and is even a little too sensitive.
He always believed that not to mention practical studies like medicine, even theoretical disciplines like philosophy, as long as they are separated from practice and become metaphysics, they can become chicken soup for the soul at the least, and at the worst, they can be not far from cults.
The metaphysical symbol of traditional Chinese medicine is the written text of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic.
Liu Xie had never studied medicine or read the "Huangdi Neijing", but he had a basic concept. The "Huangdi Neijing" is definitely not an ancient book in the pre-Qin period. Although many of the contents in the book had been formed in the pre-Qin period, they were integrated together.
It was not too early to become a must-read sacred book for traditional Chinese medicine, and it was probably the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Just as Taoism appeared in the second half of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is also a strong Taoist thought in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic".
Liu Xie asked several people, including Hua Tuo and Ji Zhen, who didn't know what the "Huangdi Neijing" is, but when it comes to "Lingshu" and "Su Wen", they all knew it, and they could even recite it.
A few articles.
Liu Xie didn't know whether the content they recited was consistent with the "Huangdi Neijing" in later generations, but he had already heard a lot of Taoist flavors.
He doesn't like this trend very much, but he also knows that it is unreasonable to force it to remove it.
The most appropriate way is to guide.
Just as he was idle, Liu Xie considered how to guide Taoism, add something to it, consolidate the foundation, and lead Taoism to science.
To put it carefully, among the five so-called religions in later generations, Taoism is actually the closest to science.
Otherwise, alchemy would not have become a pioneer of black gunpowder.
Liu Xie remembered the Yellow Turban Army again and the alchemists in the Yellow Turban Army. He was eager to gather those people together, carry out some ideological transformation, form his own Royal Academy of Sciences, and refine the gold and stone of Chinese civilization.
Liu Xie summoned Cai Yan and discussed with her the idea of summoning the alchemists from all over the world.
Cai Yanhui was wise and understood what Liu Xie meant at first. "Is Your Majesty planning to melt the skills of all crafts into one furnace and create a new learning?"
Liu Xie was very satisfied. After all, he was a scholar and his words were of high prominence.
“Is it feasible?”
"It works, but not now."
Liu Xie was stunned. "Why?"
"No money." Cai Yan said: "Take alchemy refining as an example, when you raise a furnace and refining alchemy, you burn all the money. Does Your Majesty have so much spare money?"
"Well……"
"But Your Majesty can start by reciting books. First, collect theories of various schools, identify them, verify their authenticity, remove the deformity, and preserve the essence. Choose the ones that are available and see their profits first. As long as it is profitable, it will naturally become a trend in time."
Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan in surprise. "It's not easy to be able to say profitable from your mouth."
Cai Yan smiled embarrassedly, but still felt righteous. "Your Majesty is not aware of how many people are obsessed with building bridges to be named marquis. It is beneficial to the country and the people, so why not do it?"
