Chongzhen Chat Group

While he was talking, he saw an old man with a white beard being helped out.

After seeing the men who were confronting each other at the door, they all became respectful and moved out of the way.

This old man was Chen Shigong. There was a big commotion at the entrance of the village because of his affairs, and the other party was his in-laws, which made him a little uneasy. He was afraid that the conflict would hurt someone, no matter which person it was, it would not be good. So I insisted on coming out. As a result, before he reached the door, he heard something that surprised him.

Although his voice sounds a bit young, this man seems to be very knowledgeable about surgical techniques. Moreover, the most important thing is that this person has an obvious inclination towards surgery, which makes him feel like a close friend.

Therefore, he hurriedly came out to meet him. I just didn't expect that after seeing this, I found out that it was a young man, and I couldn't help but froze there.

Chinese medicine is no different than Western medicine, it relies on experience. Therefore, generally speaking, older Chinese medicine practitioners are the doctors with better medical skills! As for his young age, not to mention that he is definitely not a doctor with excellent medical skills, at least in general understanding, he is in line with the principle of "having a hairless mouth but not being able to do things".

Emperor Chongzhen knew from the name they called the old man that he was Chen Shigong, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Because this Chen Shigong is really too old, his beard and hair are completely white, and he is older than Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong and others in the court.

At this age, it seems impossible for him to come out of the mountain.

Thinking this way, I felt a little disappointed in my heart, but it didn't show on the surface. Considering his age, he cupped his fists and saluted, "But Doctor Chen in person?"

I used to call Chen Ruoxu, but I felt that I was too old to call him in person, so I changed my name.

After hearing this, Chen Shigong nodded and said, "I am an old man. I wonder who this young master is?"

"My surname is Zhu!" Emperor Chongzhen replied, "I came here because of his reputation. I want to discuss surgery with Dr. Chen and make some efforts to improve Ming Dynasty's surgical skills!"

"That's so loud!" The person on the woman's side couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when they heard that neither side seemed to take them seriously, and immediately began to sarcastically say, "Don't you really think that you can still survive after being disemboweled, right?"

Some women shouted to Chen Shigong: "You thought you were Hua Tuo, and now you have killed our Linger, what do you think we should do?"

"Let's go to the county government office and let the county magistrate make a fair judgment!"

"..."

After hearing this, Chen Shigong felt that he was wrong after all and apologized. He first said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I'm really sorry, little friend. There is something going on in Zhuangzi. It's not suitable now..."

Emperor Chongzhen was a little unconcerned. The woman had no responsibility for this matter. If she got married at such a young age, didn't she know that giving birth to a child would mean going to hell?

He immediately got off his horse and said to Chen Shigong: "That's it. The reconciliation between you two is to let the juniors handle it. Doctor Chen, please!"

Between the words and the words, it makes people feel faintly, as if he is the master here.

Emperor Chongzhen's actions surprised both men and women. The woman's face was a little ugly. Just when she was about to say something, a Jinyiwei captain got the instruction and stepped forward, showed his badge and said: "Jinyiwei is on duty!"

If it's someone from the county government, or maybe the county official comes in person, after saying this, neither the man nor the woman will necessarily give up. But once the Jinyiwei waist card is revealed, there is no reason to argue, not to mention that what Emperor Chongzhen just said was also for their own good.

In desperation, the woman's people couldn't help but look at each other, and no one dared to disobey Jin Yiwei's instructions.

The man was happy. If this matter could be resolved properly, it would be in their best interest.

Chen Shigong quickly clasped his hands and saluted, "Chen Shigong, a common man, I have met you, sir!"

I don't know the official position, but I think he must be a high-ranking official in Jinyiwei, so it wouldn't be wrong to say so.

Emperor Chongzhen immediately smiled slightly and said: "You're welcome, let's have a good chat. I hope Dr. Chen can give me some advice."

Don't mention Jin Yiwei's identity on the surface. Chen Shigong is sincerely grateful to him for solving the current matter, and naturally he is ready to talk endlessly.

After arriving at Zhuangzili, Emperor Chongzhen asked, and Chen Shigong answered, which made Emperor Chongzhen understand a lot at once.

It turns out that TCM surgery has been developing in Ming Dynasty. Wang Ji's "Surgical Theory" and Xue Ji's "Surgical Essentials" etc. all provided Chen Shigong with experience and increased his knowledge, allowing him to go further in surgery.

He boldly rectified the shortcomings of current surgeries that rely on family skills and abandon internal treatment, and instead "regular treatment methods include acupuncture, arsenic, arsenic, sutures, etc., causing patients to suffer and not treat them according to conventional methods." He put forward the new ideas of "paying equal attention to both internal and external" and "removing toxins first", combined with his own rich surgical clinical experience, and wrote the book "Surgery Authentic".

After saying that, he also asked someone to take out his own book "Surgical Authenticity" and show it to Emperor Chongzhen, and explain a few things by the way. Emperor Chongzhen did not know that if history developed according to the original development, Chen Shigong would become the founder of the "Authentic School", the largest school in the history of traditional Chinese medicine and surgery.

After casually browsing, Emperor Chongzhen discovered that Chen Shigong had done research on amputation, removal of nasal polyps, tracheal suturing, removal of foreign bodies in the throat, and the treatment of hemorrhoids using dried hemorrhoid powder, dried hemorrhoid nails, and suture-setting methods. Even the description and prognosis of breast cancer seem to be comprehensive, specific and realistic.

This discovery made Emperor Chongzhen a little happy. While he was watching, he saw Chen Shigong taking out two more books and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Sir, please read these two books by Xiyi. The common people feel that they are both true. This time, there is also a reference for caesarean section. The theory of the human body in these two books. Speaking of which, our Ming Dynasty’s specific understanding of the structure of the human body is not as good as that of the Western Yi.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen took it and took a look. Sure enough, it was a book by Xiyi. One book was titled "Taishi's Introduction to the Human Body" and the other was "The Illustration of the Human Body". While listening to Chen Shigong's story, he read these two books.

"Taishi's Introduction to the Human Body" is divided into two volumes. The first volume discusses anatomical knowledge such as bones, tendons, skin, flesh, veins, and blood; while the second volume discusses the sensory system, including vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and movement. , language and other aspects of knowledge. As for the book "Human Body Diagram", it focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the pulse, heart, stomach, large and small intestines, gallbladder, spleen, male and female vulva, uterus, etc. These two books complement each other and can be regarded as two introductory books on anatomy.

According to Chen Shigong, these two books were introduced by Deng Yuhan, a missionary from the West, and translated into drafts together with Li Zhizao, an official of the Ming Dynasty. They were finally compiled and published by Bi Gongchen, another official of the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but secretly write down the names of these two people.

But Chen Shigong was still sighing: "The customs of the Western Yi are different from those of the Ming Dynasty. If our Ming Dynasty has this condition, the common people believe that with the talent and knowledge of the doctors of the Ming Dynasty, if we really do it, we will not be better than the Western Yi in this regard." Yi Cha!"

Although what he said was not very clear, Emperor Chongzhen could understand that what he said was that in the Ming Dynasty, dissecting the human body was not accepted by the Ming Dynasty, or the Chinese people since ancient times. It is precisely for this reason that China has not made much progress in anatomy. At most, like Chen Shigong and others, they would operate on the outside of the human body. As for the internal structure of the human body, little is known about it. Generally speaking, it is relatively rough and cannot be as detailed as in Xiyi's book, which has detailed descriptions of various human organs.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He could tell that, at least for Chen Shigong, he was inclined to do human anatomy experiments. It's just that I don't dare because of traditional Chinese customs. If he hadn't seen the two books passed down from Xiyi, he might not have dared to perform this operation of caesarean section to retrieve the child.

With this in mind, he asked: "As Dr. Chen said, if our Ming Dynasty liberalizes human anatomy, the imperial court will explicitly allow it to be done in accordance with appropriate principles. What do you think?"

For now, in Chen Shigong's eyes, Emperor Chongzhen is a royal guard. The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers and can represent the emperor's wishes to a certain extent. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he heard it, and said quickly: "Sir, ordinary people can guarantee that countless people will benefit from it in the Ming Dynasty!"

His current surgical skills have saved many people in Jiangnan from many diseases. As one of the most authoritative people in TCM surgery, his views have a certain degree of authority and can make people who know and have heard of him more convinced.

The reason why he said this without any scruples was not only the impact of what had just happened, but also the fact that he felt that his time was running out, so he was willing to cut himself off and say things to his face that he had not dared to say before.

According to the original history, Chen Shigong died in this year at the age of eighty-two. But now that Emperor Chongzhen suddenly visited and solved one of his biggest worries, he probably wouldn't have any problem if he lived longer.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, and immediately said: "Okay, in that case, you take the lead in contacting other famous doctors, and write to the court, asking the court to allow legal dissection under appropriate conditions for medical research! How about it?"

If famous doctors from all over the country jointly proposed this matter, it would have a different prestige than if he himself directly ordered it to be done, and the effect would be much better.

When Chen Shigong heard this, his face showed joy, and he nodded quickly and said: "The common people should obey the orders, but...but the common people are old, and if they contact famous doctors from various places, they don't know what year or month they will be able to complete this matter in their lifetime. "

"You don't have to worry about this, I will ask the Jin Yiwei to help you." Emperor Chongzhen heard this and said without thinking, "As long as you give your name, the Jin Yiwei will come to your door with your letter and ask them to sign it."

He thought about it, and then used Chen Shigong as a point to recommend other famous doctors. With Chen Shigong's letter and Jin Yiwei's personal visit, it is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Those famous doctors are also more able to accept human anatomy than ordinary people, so I believe there will be no problems. Then we will recommend more famous doctors from other famous doctors and ask Jinyiwei to send people to do this. There will definitely be no problem in one year.

Chen Shigong naturally thought of something similar. Knowing that with the help of Jin Yiwei, there would basically be no problem in this matter. He was overjoyed immediately, stood up quickly, solemnly bowed his hands and said: "Your Excellency is so considerate of the people, it is really a blessing to the people. !”

After receiving the notification from the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "This is what the court should do."

After he finished speaking, he thought of the other matter and felt that it would be best to leave the two masters alone. He then said to Chen Shigong: "There is another matter that requires you to join other famous doctors in writing to the court to jointly promote innovation."

Chen Shigong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he quickly came to his senses, thinking that this matter was probably similar to human anatomy, and it was all a good thing. Thinking like this, he replied respectfully: "I wonder what it is? As long as ordinary people can do what they can, they will do their best!"

At this moment, outside the lobby, outside the door guarded by the Jinyi guards, Chen Shigong's family looked there with joy, and they happened to be seen by Emperor Chongzhen. This is a family's place. Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry anyway, so he said to the outside: "What can I do?"

When the imperial guard outside saw the emperor asking questions, he stepped aside and allowed the family to enter the lobby.

The man first bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, and then reported with joy that with the coordination of Jinyiwei, the woman's side had agreed to reconcile and there would be no further trouble.

This matter is naturally a good thing for the Chen family. After hearing this, Chen Shigong naturally thanked Emperor Chongzhen again.

After Chen Shigong's family left, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "I want to talk about another thing, which is related to this. Dr. Chen knows that when our human bodies are mature and we reach the age where we can get married and have children, we usually How old are you?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Chen was silent for a moment, and then said with a little hesitation: "But if a woman has her menstruation, is it enough for a man to have a wet dream?"

"Theoretically speaking, if a woman is menstruating and a man has nocturnal emissions, it is indeed possible to have a child. However, this is not the best age for childbearing!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and immediately replied seriously, "Generally speaking, ten Before the age of eight, both men and women are still growing, and their physical development is not yet mature. If they are allowed to get married and have children early, it does not matter whether the children born at this time are the smartest, because women do not have mature bodies yet. It is difficult to ensure that women can safely pass the test of childbirth. Therefore, the current agreed age for marriage and childbirth is too early."

As far as today's Ming Dynasty is concerned, the crowning ceremony of adulthood is held between the ages of twelve and fifteen for men. This is for the royal family, but for the people, it is later. After the age of fifteen, it depends on the conditions. At this time, the common age for marriage was sixteen for men and fourteen for women. Of course, in fact, there are some people who get married, both high and low. The Chen Shigong family's was a little early, which is why this tragedy happened.
