Next to Zhang Zhongjing, followed an old man who was nearly sixty years old. This man had gray hair and beard, and was dressed in simple coarse linen clothes. Although he was old, his face was rosy and energetic, and he did not look senile at all.
The old man's name was Hua Tuo, and he was also a miracle doctor in the world.
Hua Tuo looked at Zhang Zhongjing, his expression a little nervous, and asked: "Zhongjing, is King Wu easy to talk to? What if he doesn't support me opening a hospital in Nanjing to study medicine?"
Zhang Zhongjing said with a smile: "Brother Hua is too worried. This situation cannot happen. Speaking of which, you have always underestimated the princes, despised the powerful, and did not care about fame and fortune. Why are you asking again and again today?"
Hua Tuo sighed and said, "I don't like being an official, and I don't want to get involved. When treating a prince, you have to look at his character."
"The initiative lies with me."
"I have it under my control."
"Now, I have to persuade the King of Wu to allocate funds to help me build a hospital in Nanjing, and he also wants me to further study Ma Fei San, the structure of the human body, and the methods of surgery. It is shocking to the world."
Hua Tuo sighed with emotion and said: "The king of Wu may not agree that the body's hair and skin are affected by his parents. Not everyone is like you, fully supporting me and doing their best to help me collect corpses for me to study."
Zhang Zhongjing consoled him: "King Wu's vision and mind are far broader than you imagine. Take allicin as an example, have you heard of it?"
"Have not heard!"
Hua Tuo shook his head.
Zhang Zhongjing said: "We have been able to prepare allicin at any time according to King Wu's instructions. In addition, we have extracted a small amount of penicillin. This drug can be called a miracle drug."
"Penicillin has miraculous effects on many diseases, and the effects are very fast."
"Both you and I are considered famous doctors in the world, but we don't understand these things, let alone allicin and penicillin. However, the king knows everything about it. He also knows how to make it and the problems in the production process."
"Even the people who will be suitable for penicillin after it is produced, as well as the possible side effects, the king is fully aware of."
A look of admiration appeared in Zhang Zhongjing's eyes, and he said: "However, we all know that the king does not practice medicine, but the king knows it. Such a king is not anyone you know."
Hua Tuo nodded, his eyes gradually calmed down.
He is confused when he cares.
I am worried and anxious because I am too concerned about the outcome of this time.
Zhang Zhongjing continued: "Brother Hua, over the years you have been in the hospital, with the help of Wu State officials, you have been dissecting the human body and you have a good understanding of the structure of the human body."
"Under this premise, your skills are definitely capable of establishing a sect."
"I am good at treating typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, but surgery, which you are good at, is completely useless. Therefore, I support you. Such medical skills will definitely benefit the country and the people."
Zhang Zhongjing said: "As long as I am here, I will try my best to persuade the king."
Hua Tuo said: "Thank you very much, dear brother."
Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said modestly: "It's polite to say thank you. There is no need to say this between us."
Hua Tuo nodded solemnly.
While the two were talking, a chamberlain came out and said loudly: "It is announced that Zhang Zhongjing has come to the palace to pay an audience."
Zhang Zhongjing responded, looked at Hua Tuo and said: "Brother Hua, you can wait with peace of mind, everything is up to me. In addition, please believe in your Majesty."
Hua Tuo nodded again.
He stood outside the palace, waiting quietly.
He and Zhang Zhongjing have different identities. Zhang Zhongjing can go to see him directly, but he still has to wait for Zhang Zhongjing to report. But Hua Tuo is still worried in his heart, because what he has done is a treason in the eyes of many people.
of.
Hua Tuo still holds on to hope.
Once Lu Xuan gives strong support, he will definitely be able to treat more people in the future.
This is an excellent method.
While Hua Tuo was shaking in his heart, Zhang Zhongjing entered the imperial city and quickly entered the palace. He walked to the center of the palace and stood there, saluted Lu Xuan, bowed and said: "Old Zhang Zhongjing, pay your respects to the king."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Give me a seat!"
After Zhang Zhongjing sat down, he said: "Your Majesty, I am here to see you this time. I intend to recommend to Your Majesty a miracle doctor who has superb medical skills and can revive human flesh and bones."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.
Zhang Zhongjing is the miracle doctor who can give life to human flesh and bones.
There is no doubt about this.
The person recognized by Zhang Zhongjing during the late Han Dynasty was Hua Tuo in the north.
Lu Xuan had a guess in his mind and asked: "Who did Divine Doctor Zhang recommend?"
Zhang Zhongjing said: "This man's name is Hua Tuo. He is good at many medical skills. He is not only proficient in acupuncture, but also good at treating children and women's diseases. The most important point is that Hua Tuo is very proficient in the structure of the human body and is good at surgery. This
People's medical skills are quite good, please show me your wisdom."
Lu Xuandao: "Where are they?"
Zhang Zhongjing said: "Just outside the palace."
Lu Xuan ordered without hesitation: "When someone comes, send Hua Tuo an audience."
The chamberlain replied and went to deliver the order again.
Zhang Zhongjing was surprised that Lu Xuan directly announced the meeting without even understanding it, and asked: "Isn't your Majesty worried that Hua Tuo has a false reputation?"
Lu Xuan said: "Doctor Zhang is famous all over the world and is an extremely pure person. A person you recognize must have great medical skills and noble medical ethics. I believe in you."
Zhang Zhongjing was very moved when he heard this.
This is Lu Xuan's approval.
Zhang Zhongjing said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have given you the reward, but Hua Tuo's medical skills are indeed superb."
After a while, Hua Tuo entered the main hall.
This was his first meeting with Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan was about to become the emperor. Facing such a founding monarch, Hua Tuo felt a little in awe from the bottom of his heart. In addition, he now wanted to ask Lu Xuan, hoping that Lu Xuan would let him perform surgery.
The surgical operation still requires further support from Lu Xuan.
Therefore, Hua Tuo could not maintain calm.
After Hua Tuo stood still, he looked respectful and saluted: "Hua Tuo, a common citizen, pays homage to the King of Wu."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly and ordered: "Come here, give a seat to Divine Doctor Zhang and Divine Doctor Hua."
The waiter moved the seats.
Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo sat down respectively.
Zhang Zhongjing and Lu Xuan had a close relationship, and they had known each other since they were young, so everything was calm. Hua Tuo met Lu Xuan for the first time, and felt Lu Xuan's courtesy and corporal, but he was moved in his heart.
Medical people have always been ignored. Although everyone needs medical people, in fact, people who come from a noble family look down upon medical people.
Because it is not the most orthodox way to become an official.
Hua Tuo had constant thoughts in his mind, but he could only sit upright.
Lu Xuan's face was gentle and he did not examine Hua Tuo's medical skills. He asked: "Miracle Doctor Hua, Doctor Zhang recommended you just now. So, are you willing to stay under my command and serve me?"
