Volume 7 Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, the boy is raising his sword Chapter 261: Is the name of the genius doctor in vain?
Xiao Yuanche, Zhang Shennong and Guo Baiyi came outside.
Zhang Shennong then raised his hands to everyone and said slowly: "Prime Minister, I have just checked Su Ling's condition clearly. Medical Officer Ding and other experts have made a good judgment. This disease must be a plague."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Since Doctor Zhang is so sure, he can't be wrong. But since it is a plague, why haven't we and most of the generals in the camp contracted the disease? What will the general in the camp eat?
, the drinks are the same, and I, Guo Baiyi and Su Ling have frequent contact, shouldn’t I be the first to bear the brunt?”
Zhang Shennong pondered for a while and then said: "If we follow what the Prime Minister said, there should be no problem with the food, grass and drinking water in the army, but I wonder if Su Ling has ever eaten or drank anything other than normal diet?"
Hearing this, Guo Baiyi suddenly said: "By the way, I heard Su Ling say that he went to a remote place in the city almost every day to eat pasta from a noodle stall, and also drank the fake stall owner's own brew.
He went to drink wine almost every day. Even on the days when Fang was ill, he insisted on going if he could move."
Hearing this, Zhang Shennong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Pasta and wine are extremely common things. If there is really a problem..."
He suddenly paused, cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuanche and said: "Prime Minister, you should send someone to look for the noodle stall and the owner of the noodle stall in the city to see how he is doing now!"
Xiao Yuanche nodded hurriedly and shouted towards the door: "Come here, go to the noodle stall that Su Changshi often goes to in the city and see how the stall owner is doing. After you investigate, come and report to me...
..”
Someone had already answered the call, got on his horse, and rode off quickly.
Everyone sat in the courtyard, waiting for a reply.
Zhang Shennong took out a piece of paper from his arms and let Xiao Yuanche read it first. He saw that the paper listed some medicinal materials, but it was a prescription.
"Miracle doctor, who is this?..." Xiao Yuanche said a little puzzled.
"I have lived among the people for a long time, traveled to various places in the Jin Dynasty, and encountered many kinds of plagues, so I have a lot of experience in them. This recipe is a recipe I drew up based on many years of experience in treating plagues. Just now Su Ling has already
I have seen it, and I believe that the symptoms of the soldiers in the Jiuzhang military camp are more or less the same as Su Ling, so I secretly thought that this method should be the right solution." Zhang Shennong said firmly.
Xiao Yuanche nodded, handed the prescription to Ding Yan and said, "You guys should take a look and learn it carefully..."
Ding Yan and others looked ashamed and hurriedly took it with both hands. The eleven people gathered together and looked at every medicine on the prescription carefully. However, the medicinal materials listed on the prescription were:
6 taels of ephedra (removed from knots), 2 taels of cinnamon twigs, 2 taels of licorice (broiled), 40 almonds (peeled and sharpened), 3 taels of ginger (cut), 12 jujubes (broken), gypsum (crushed)
, wrapped in cotton) as big as a chicken.
After Ding Yan and others looked at it, they discussed it in private, and then handed the prescription back to Zhang Shennong. Ding Yan said, "I wonder what the prescription prescribed by Master Zhang is called?"
Zhang Shennong lightly twirled his beard and said: "This recipe is called Daqinglong Decoction, and it is a good recipe for treating plague!"
Ding Yan nodded, but still asked with doubts: "The student is confused, could I trouble you to clarify my doubts?"
Zhang Shennong knew that although Ding Yan and these imperial doctors were quite polite to him, they also kept their posture very low. Ding Yan had just called himself a student, but they looked down upon each other, especially those in the medical field.
Ding Yan and the ten imperial doctors were all royal doctors, and Ding Yan was the chief medical officer of the Jin Dynasty. He was somewhat arrogant, and they would never treat a folk doctor with as much respect as they did in their words and deeds.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shennong smiled faintly and said: "Doctor Ding, you're welcome. You are the chief medical officer of our Dajin Dynasty, and you are unparalleled in skills. You are already too old to say that you are a student. If you have any questions, Dr. Ding, it doesn't matter.
We can all discuss it together and learn from each other's strengths, so that this unwarranted plague can be quickly quelled."
Ding Yan nodded and said in a louder voice: "This recipe is called Daqinglong Decoction, but the root ingredient of the recipe is ephedra. We also have a recipe based on this herb, and even more so.
Two other relatively important medicinal materials are added, namely ginger and jujube. However, the prescription we prescribed is called ephedra decoction. However, in terms of the dosage of the main drug ephedra, we only use three ounces of ephedra. Why do lay people use ephedra?
But the amount used was a full 20% more, as much as six taels?"
A thin imperial doctor on the side also stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Medical Officer Ding asked a good question. We also have the same doubts. The purpose of ephedra is to relieve symptoms and induce sweating. Three ounces is enough, not to mention Su Changshi."
, down to ordinary soldiers, they all suffer from cold and hot, sometimes cold sweat, sometimes hot sweat, even if they don't use this product, they are already sweating, so we even consider reducing the dosage of this ephedra, but look at Zhang Jushi's Daqinglong
Soup, but he did the opposite, not only used ephedra, but also increased the amount of medicine to six taels. Could it be that Layman Zhang still doesn't know the condition of Su Changshi and the soldiers?"
The imperial doctor's last rhetorical question was obviously somewhat sarcastic.
Guo Baiyi knew what these imperial doctors were thinking. He glanced at Xiao Yuanche calmly, and saw that Xiao Yuanche's eyes were slightly closed, as if he didn't pay attention to what they said.
Guo Baiyi instantly understood that Xiao Yuanche also intended to test Zhang Shennong's methods.
Therefore, both of them pretended to be confused and remained silent without saying a word.
How could Zhang Shennong not know the thoughts of everyone present? He glanced at the imperial physician, smiled faintly and said: "Oh, I wonder what I call this master with great skills?"
Hearing this, the imperial doctor suddenly raised his hands in the air and said with a somewhat showy look in his eyes: "My mentor is a famous doctor from Yi'an, and Huang Judao is my mentor."
Hearing this, Zhang Shennong still smiled lightly and said: "It turns out that Huang Judao is your master. That's not surprising. Huang Judao has indeed made some achievements in the field of medicine. He can also be called a famous doctor in Yi'an. It's just that this person
The use of medicine is too conservative, and only seeks no results, but no mistakes. But doctors save people, save lives, and cure diseases and relieve misfortunes! If all the doctors in the world have such thoughts as him, how can the patient's disease be cured? Since it cannot be done
It’s all good, how can you say it’s saving people? Isn’t it just harming people by being gentle?”
Zhang Shennong's words were gentle and indifferent, but his words were soft yet strong, and he even pointed out that Huang Judao's point of view was the inaction of a quack doctor.
Hearing this in the ears of the imperial doctor, how could he not be angry? If not in front of Xiao Yuanche, seeing that Xiao Yuanche admired Zhang Shennong very much, he just snorted and did not have an attack.
Zhang Shennong still smiled lightly and said: "Everyone, I have just seen Su Ling's situation, and he is my apprentice. How can I let go of any detail? What Doctor Ding and the imperial doctor just said is true.
Ephedra soup does not cause sweating
Three ounces of medicine for relieving symptoms is enough to induce sweating. Why did I increase the dosage of medicine when I knew that Su Ling and the soldiers were sweating profusely? The reason is because of the gypsum I added. Everyone, the wonderful use of gypsum,
I’m afraid I don’t understand it very well!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eleven doctors headed by Ding Yan cupped their hands and said, "Please give me some advice from layman Zhang."
Zhang Shennong was not polite, and said loudly: "The use of ephedra is quite limited. I think you all know it. If the pulse is weak, sweating and windy, people should not take it. Taking it will make the muscles and muscles tense. This is
Inverse. So when you see Su Ling and many soldiers sweating,
Su Ling also had a weak pulse, but I added the dose of ephedra. If you are suspicious, it is normal. But please think about it, if a person sweats normally, will he become weaker? Or when a person has a high fever.
, if you happen to sweat all over, will you still have body heat and fever?"
"Of course there won't be any more fever? Because you are already sweating and the fever will relieve the symptoms, so the fever will subside!" Ding Yan said hurriedly.
Zhang Shennong nodded and said, "What Medical Officer Ding said is exactly what happened. This is an ordinary situation. But what I want to ask is whether Su Ling or the soldiers sweated so much, but did they ever suffer from aversion to fever?"
A little less?"
"This..." Ding Yan and others were startled.
After a long while, Ding Yanfang said: "This is not the case. Although they are sweating heavily, their fever symptoms have not been relieved at all."
Zhang Shennong nodded and said: "That's it. Have you ever thought about the reason? According to the old man's opinion, although they sweat heavily, it is not a manifestation of the body's original sweating, but a symptom of the plague.
As for the symptoms, you are just confused by the appearance of this disease! And the real poison in their bodies is not actually reduced by sweating. Instead, it accumulates in the internal organs of the body, accumulating more and more, and as time goes by, it continues
As time goes by, the symptoms will become more severe."
When he said this, most of the imperial doctors were awakened by the words and kept nodding.
Zhang Shennong continued: "Therefore, they must really relieve their symptoms by sweating, getting rid of evil spirits, and expelling the plague from the body, so that their symptoms will be gradually relieved."
Another imperial doctor said: "But, just to sweat to relieve the symptoms, and ignore their weak pulse, they can no longer withstand such a large amount of sweating? By then, I am afraid that the plague will be discharged and the people will be gone!"
Zhang Shennong nodded and said in a deep voice: "This master is right to the point. The most difficult and most troublesome part of the plague is here. If you sweat to relieve the symptoms, the plague poison can be excreted, but the patient is already weak. If he sweats again,
Relieving the epidermis may make things worse, and the person may die. However, if he does not sweat to relieve the epidermis, and the plague is not eliminated, the person still cannot live. Therefore, if the dilemma is not handled properly, the success will be ruined...
.”
"Yes...yes...since Jushi Zhang understands this truth, why does he still increase the dosage of ephedra? Isn't this adding insult to injury?" After hearing what Zhang Shennong said, these imperial doctors all spoke out.
Ask questions.
Xiao Yuanche had his eyes slightly closed, and the expression on his face was unchanged. Seeing these imperial doctors acting like this, he couldn't help but slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Shennong.
Zhang Shennong, you are called a miracle doctor by the people, and you are also called "Yuan Zhang" together with Yuan Hua. Let's see how you convince them today.
Hearing this, Zhang Shennong twirled his beard and smiled lightly: "Everyone, please be patient. I have just explained why I did this. The most important thing is that my Daqinglong Decoction is better than your Ephedra Decoction."
Too much of that medicine."
"Gypsum?... Could it be that just gypsum has such an important effect?" Everyone still didn't believe it.
Zhang Shennong remained unhurried, his voice was solemn and grand, and every word he spoke was clear to the ears.
"My medical ancestors said that for all diseases in the world, if the Qi is sufficient, the disease will be in Yangming, and if the Qi is deficient, the disease will be in Taiyin. This principle is applicable to the vast majority of patients, but it does not apply to plague patients. Plague
The patient's body functions have been completely destroyed by the plague and evil spirits. It is meaningless whether the Qi is sufficient or insufficient. But the foundation of yin and yang cannot be ignored! The method of ephedra decoction is only used to relieve the symptoms and induce sweating. Chongyang also suppresses yin.
"Plague is a very complex disease, and only a single solution to the exterior will have very little effect. My Daqinglong Decoction is a way to treat both exterior and interior, with equal emphasis on yin and yang."
Hearing this, the eleven doctors carefully understood the truth behind Zhang Shennong's words.
Zhang Shennong added: "If you only increase the amount of ephedra, you will only relieve the appearance of sweating. Daqinglong Decoction is made by adding ginger and gypsum to the ephedra soup. It is a dual solution for the exterior and interior, and ephedra relieves the exterior.
For sweating, plaster clears away the internal heat, one surface and one surface, one rise and one fall, one dispersion and one collection. This is because to a certain extent, plaster restricts the strength of ephedra rising to relieve surface sweating. If there are still three ounces of ephedra, then it will relieve the surface heat.
The effect of ephedra will be weak. Therefore, the dosage of ephedra needs to be relatively increased to achieve the purpose of resolving both the exterior and interior. Also, because of the plaster, the patient will not sweat a lot and damage the root. Only in this way can yin and yang be reconciled.
Completely eliminate the plague from the body."
Zhang Shennong finally said with a smile: "Now that the plague has been eradicated, how can there be no way for the sick to recover?"
After saying that, Zhang Shennong stopped talking and looked at everyone with a smile.
The whole hospital was quiet and there was no sound. After a long time, Ding Yan took the lead and said: "Miracle Doctor Zhang is really talented and wonderful... I can't wait far away!"
These eleven top doctors in the apricot world all stood up and paid homage with sincerity, saying: "We have been taught!"
Zhang Shennong then waved his hand and said: "You are ridiculous. I have only had some experience after dealing with various plagues for a long time. It's insignificant! It's insignificant!"
At this moment, horseshoes sounded in front of the door, and soon a soldier ran into the courtyard, saluted Xiao Yuanche and said, "Prime Minister, my subordinates have found out that the old man named Zhou who owns the noodle stall has not contracted the plague.
, and the body is fine..."
Xiao Yuanche nodded, asked the reporting soldiers to retreat, and then said solemnly: "Doctor Zhang, it seems that Su Ling's illness has nothing to do with this noodle stall, but in addition to the pasta from this noodle stall, Su Ling also knows
Did you eat something bad?"
Zhang Shennong also frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "I just checked Su Ling's pulse and found that the symptoms of this plague seem to be an extremely uncommon plague. The Jin Dynasty has been in existence for more than 600 years. This extremely rare disease has
The unusual plague seems to have only occurred once in the early days of the founding of the country..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanche took a breath and said, "What kind of plague is it that is so uncommon?"
Zhang Shennong did not answer, but just said to Guo Baiyi: "Jiujiu, please listen to Su Ling mention to you whether he has eaten some livestock meat that is not commonly eaten recently, such as... horse meat...
....”
Guo Baiyi shook his head and said: "I have never heard of this. It's just that one night when Su Ling came back very late, I heard him vaguely say that he had eaten delicious meat and drank some wine. When I wanted to ask again,
, he fell drunk and fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he felt unwell. At that time, we all thought it was because he was drunk the first night. Now that we think about it carefully, it should be a symptom of illness at that time.
....."
Zhang Shennong nodded and suddenly said: "Prime Minister, you should quickly check whether there are any horses missing in the stables of the military camp..."
Xiao Yuanche nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Absolutely!..." Then he said loudly outside the door: "Go tell Boning and ask him to take a few people from the Shadow Division to investigate the camp immediately.
The number of horses in each stable is checked one by one. After checking, let him report it in person! "
"Here!..."
The Shadow Department was very efficient at doing things. Not long after, Boning was seen striding in from the door, holding a person's collar in his hand. The man's body was like chaff, and he was panicked.
Xiao Yuanche frowned and glanced at this person. He saw this person dressed as a servant in green clothes and a small hat. He was a little confused and asked: "Bo Ning, who is this?"
Boning had a sinister look on his face, cupped his fists and said, "My lord ordered his subordinates to check the number of horses in each stable, and indeed they discovered a problem. This person is the horseherd in Xu Jinghu's camp. The problem lies with him, so why don't we let him tell us personally?"
Tell me."
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he looked at the horseman with a bright light in his eyes. Before he could speak, the horseman had already knelt on the ground with a thump, kowtowed, and said to spare his life.
Everyone even smelled a fishy smell. When they looked at this man, they found that his crotch was already wet.
Xiao Yuanche said coldly: "Why don't you tell me soon!"
The stable boy was trembling with fear, his hair and color changed, and he said: "There was indeed a missing horse in the stable that the villain was looking after a few days ago..."
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, the anger in his eyes already contained a bit of murderous intent and said: "Why don't you report it to the army?"
The horseman kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Prime Minister, please spare my life, because the horse is an old horse, and it is so weak that it can hardly stand up. Moreover, it is an ownerless horse. The villain can see nothing."
If someone wants it, he will tie it alone in a place without any supervision, thinking that it will not even want to move, so it must be fine. Unexpectedly, the horse disappeared a few days ago... The villain thought that the horse had disappeared.
It was a horse that no one wanted, so it wasn’t reported!”
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he suddenly scolded in a cold voice: "Let me ask you, since it is an old and weak horse, why do you bring it to the battlefield? Are you serious about raising horses? Will you lose another horse?
Reporting, dereliction of duty, what's the point!"
The stable boy couldn't say a word, he just kept kowtowing and bleeding.
Xiao Yuanche's face became even more murderous. He suddenly waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Bo Ning, take him away and chop him down!..."
When the horseherd heard this, he shouted in despair for his life.
Xiao Yuanche said coldly: "You are just a horse herdsman, but because of you, my leader Shi Dongliang has been greatly damaged. How can I spare you!..."
