Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Chapter 101 The evil recipe: let the officials play Cuju (page 12)

"Mr. Fan, I can't do it anymore!"

In the imperial garden, Zhao Xu held his stomach and said with a painful expression.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He serves as Zhao Xu's medical officer and is mainly responsible for improving Zhao Xu's symptoms of weak bones. Today is his first day as a medical officer. Anyone who doesn't know better would think that Zhao Xu is going to be a master. Have you gone west?

"Today the official only ran 500 steps! An ordinary young man's body can at least run a thousand steps in one stick of incense to be considered healthy. There are even good runners who can run eighty miles in more than an hour. "Fan Zheng said helplessly.

Running is just the most common form of physical exercise in later generations. Zhao Xu did not even meet the physical examination standards in primary and secondary schools in later generations, let alone the marathon long-distance runners in later generations.

Zhao Xu had only run a few hundred steps, but he already looked like he was about to die, which shows how weak his body was.

"Mr. Fan, I am an emperor, and I don't need to march or fight, so it's okay if I don't run!" Zhao Xu waved his hands, unwilling to run anymore.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng sighed leisurely and said: "The body is the capital of reform, and health is the greatest wealth in life. Officials and families are the masters of the world, and the world's most beautiful women can be harvested at will. I am afraid that this kind of body has more than enough ambition but not enough strength." "

"Nonsense, my body is very strong!"

When Zhao Xu heard this, he jumped up and said, "I can run another three hundred steps, no! One hundred steps!"

When Zhao Xu staggered through the last hundred steps and almost fell to the ground, the eunuch on the side quickly brought a soft stool for Zhao Xu to rest.

"Absolutely not! Do not rest directly after strenuous exercise, otherwise it will cause sudden death. You need to walk slowly for a period of time to slow down the body's heartbeat before you are safe." Fan Zheng hurriedly advised.

"Ah! Why is there such trouble!" Zhao Xu said dissatisfied.

"When the late emperor died, Wang Anshi's reform came to an abrupt end. The emperor wanted to revive the Song Dynasty, and he didn't want to make the same mistakes again!" Fan Zheng encouraged from the side.

Zhao Xu stood up helplessly, walked slowly in a circle, and then slowly recovered, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that running to keep fit is not suitable for me."

Fan Zheng advised: "Guan, running is a whole-body exercise. It can fully mobilize breathing, heartbeat, and blood, which is of great benefit to the body."

Zhao Xu wiped the sweat from his head, shook his head and said: "No, this method may be effective for other people, but it has no effect on me. I can't run at all!"

"Can……!"

Fan Zheng wanted to persuade him again, but Zhao Xu countered by saying, "Mr. Fan is a doctor. Since this prescription is not suitable for me, why don't you change the prescription until you find a way to strengthen your body that is suitable for me."

Fan Zheng was choked immediately and said helplessly: "In addition to running, doctors also have push-ups. This method mainly exercises the strength of the upper limbs, abdomen and waist."

At the moment, Fan Zheng showed Zhao Xu a few push-ups easily.

"Ugh! I can't hold it up!" Zhao Xu tried, but his face suddenly turned red, and he finally gave up.

Fan Zheng did not give up and continued to demonstrate pull-ups and sit-ups...

However, as Zhao Xu tried one after another, he failed one after another. In the end, Fan Zheng's face turned dark.

"The miracle doctor Hua Tuo has an integrated technique called Five-Animal Play: One is tiger, the second is deer, the third is bear, the fourth is ape, and the fifth is bird. It is also used to remove diseases and sharpen hoofs and feet for guidance... …….”

After that, Fan Zheng showed off Fan Tuo's Five Animal Plays one by one.

Zhao Xu had just started to imitate, and laughter immediately came from the front. Two heads poked out from the chrysanthemum bushes, pointing at the two people who were imitating the Five Animals Opera.

"Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, come here!" Zhao Xu was greatly embarrassed and said angrily.

Behind the flowers, Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji, who was sitting in a wheelchair, came laughing and joking.

Zhao Ji was sitting in a wheelchair specially made by the traditional Chinese medicine hospital and said with great joy: "Brother Huang is so funny, the tiger he imitates looks like a cat."

"There are bears and monkeys, too funny!" Zhao Bai snickered while imitating Zhao Xu's funny look.

Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said: "What do you know? This is Fan Tuo's magical skill of Five Animals. After practicing it, you can prolong your life and strengthen your body. What are you doing here?"

Zhao Ji raised the Cuju in his hand and said: "The emperor's fracture has not healed and he cannot play Cuju, so I asked the ninth brother to accompany me around. I didn't expect to see the emperor practicing Wu Qin Xi here."

Zhao Xu's face darkened, he glared at Fan Zheng and said, "This Five Animals Play may be useful, but it damages my reputation and is not suitable for me either."

Fan Zheng looked at the Cuju in Zhao Ji's hand and thought: "Wei Chen has found a way for the officials to keep fit. I believe the officials will like it this time."

"I will trust you one last time, what will it be this time?" Zhao Xu gritted his teeth.

"Cuju!" Fan Zheng said confidently.

"Cuju!"

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, and his heart suddenly pounded. He was also a young man, so he didn't like to play Cuju. However, as an emperor, he was very strict in his discipline and had no chance to play Cuju.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, Cuju can keep running. It has both physical confrontation and intelligent games. It can exercise the body and is very interesting. This is probably the most suitable way for officials to exercise."

"Yes! Brother Emperor, let's play Cuju together! It's so fun. After the eleventh brother injured his leg, there was no one to play with me." Zhao Bai cheered.

He had no playmates at all in the palace. He could only play with Zhao Ji on weekdays. However, now that Zhao Ji had fractured his bones again, he had no playmates again. How could he miss this great opportunity.

"Okay, just play for a while!" Zhao Xu finally couldn't hold back his excitement and reluctantly agreed.

………………

"Oh!"

Zhao Xu fired a powerful volley, and the ball drew an arc and hit Feng Liu's eyes.

"Come in, come in!" Zhao Xu was very excited. At this moment, he had been running for half an hour, but he didn't notice any fatigue at all. You must know that he was out of breath after running 700 steps just now.

"Zhao Ji, how do you play Cuju? If it were me, I would have won a long time ago." Zhao Ji said anxiously from the side, sitting in a wheelchair and unable to play.

Zhao Bao was dissatisfied and said: "I didn't have good eyesight before, but now I can see clearly. Give me a kick."

As a result, Zhao Bai used too much force and kicked the Cuju away, landing in front of a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes.

"Ah! Imperial Grandmother!"

Suddenly the three brothers were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"The king of a country is dignified, but two princes are playing Cuju like urchins in the market. What a shame!" Empress Dowager Gao angrily scolded.

"Grandmother, please forgive me, grandson..."

Zhao Xu was about to bow his head and apologize as usual, when he saw Fan Zheng standing out from the crowd:

"I would like to inform the Queen Mother that Cuju is a good prescription for strengthening the body prescribed by the ministers."

"There is no doubt that the good prescription is the evil one!" King Yong Zhao Hao stepped out from the crowd and accused Fan Zheng.

"It's a waste of the Queen Mother's trust in you. You secretly play tricks on the instructor's house. You are simply audacious. I have never heard that Cuju can cure diseases if you don't do your job properly."

"Emperor Grandma, Cuju is not a delinquent job. There are portraits in the palace. Emperor Taizu also likes Cuju and often plays Cuju with his ministers." Zhao Ji mustered up the courage to retort. He loved Cuju most in his life and could not tolerate the emperor's uncle being so disparaging. Cuju.
