Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Chapter 230 Don't dare or can't

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Emperor Jinglong had just come down to court, and instead of returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he went to the South Study Room of the Outer Court.The servants of the Shangshan Supervisor had been waiting for a long time, and after receiving the news, they hurriedly brought the meals to the South Study Room, which filled the table.

Lan Xi's legs were weak from hunger, but Emperor Jing Long was not in a hurry to move his chopsticks.Lan Xi endured the hunger and persuaded: "My lord, it has been nearly four hours since the fifth watch, so let's eat while it's hot, the body of the dragon is important."

An imperial guard outside the hall kowtowed to invite the saint.The emperor sent him in and asked, "Where is the man?"

The guard replied: "After the court meeting, there was a crowd of people. I chased Master Su across the Jinshui Bridge, and he ran towards the carriage. I was about to pass on the emperor's order, but was stopped by the guards of His Royal Highness King Yu, and he was messing around. Wait for the minister to get rid of it." After leaving them, Master Su's carriage has already disappeared."

The emperor asked again: "Where is King Yu?"

The guard replied: "Looking at it from a distance, it seems that His Royal Highness Prince Yu has also boarded Lord Su's carriage."

The emperor pondered for a moment, and waved his hand to signal him to step back.

Lan Xi looked at the emperor's face, and flattered her, "The emperor wants to call Su Shaoqing, so this servant will send someone to Su's mansion to pass on the word of mouth."

The emperor shook his head: "Sending someone to Su's mansion and calling him into the palace is too much noise."

Lan Xi was still thinking about the big noise. The emperor summoned his courtiers, so who else should be avoided?But Emperor Jing Long got up and said: "I will go out for a while, and I will share this table with you."

Leaving the palace?Lan Xi hurriedly followed.Emperor Jing Long turned his head and glanced at him: "You don't have to follow. Let people prepare the carriage and choose two guards who are cautious in their work to be the driver."

Lan Xi had no choice but to take the order and go down to make arrangements.

Not long after, an extra-large carriage drove out of Donghuamen and headed towards the east of the city.

The streets of Weishi are relatively spacious, and it takes only half an hour to go to Huanghuafang.Wearing casual clothes, the emperor ate a few pieces of snacks with tea in the carriage, and then lay down on the low couch behind the screen for a while to doze off, and the colic pain in both sides of the occiput was greatly relieved.

Recently, he seemed to have gotten used to the occasional headache, as long as it wasn't a piercing pain, he could keep his expression on his face, and even the palace servants who were serving him couldn't see the clue.

After he tidied up his appearance, the carriage also stopped, and the guards brought a stepladder and placed it under the door.

The car door opened, and the emperor had just walked down two steps when he suddenly held onto the door frame.The guard thought that the step ladder was not stable, so he quickly reached out to help.But the emperor took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, covered his mouth and nose, and said in a deep voice, "You guys will wait here."

Then he turned around and went back to the car.

The two imperial guards looked at each other.One of them sniffed the air vigorously, and said suspiciously: "I didn't smell any peculiar smell... Ah, could it be that the stinky tofu stall across the street is too smelly, I'll ask them to move it."

The guard went to drive away the vendors.Another guard looked at the gate of the courtyard not far away, and the words "Su Mansion" were written on the lintel.He knew that this was the mansion of Master Su, You Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he also knew that Emperor Taizu liked to visit the residences of his courtiers privately, but he seldom did so today.As for why he made an exception this time, no matter how curious he was, he would never ask.

The emperor closed the car door tightly before taking off the veil.He touched the handkerchief, and his fingertips touched a little warm moisture. He couldn't help frowning, with a dignified expression, but his eyes seemed a little dazed.

The outlines of everything in front of him melted, and only existed in the form of light and shadow, light and darkness, making his sight seem to penetrate the world and enter another world in the dark.

The emperor closed his eyes and stood quietly for a long time.When he opened his eyes again, the shapes and colors of the world emerged from the ink and wash again, and he looked down at the faint red blood stains on the brocade handkerchief in his hand.

There was a mirror in the carriage, and it was nailed to the back wall of the washbasin stand. The emperor walked over, stared at himself in the mirror carefully, and finally wiped off the blood under his nose with a brocade handkerchief dipped in clean water.

He folded the brocade handkerchief and put it in his arms, turned around and walked to the car window, opened the curtain and said to the guard: "Go to Mingshifang, Mr. Yingxu's medical hut."

The Su Mansion is in front of it, but you can't enter through the door, so you want to change lanes?The two guards didn't dare to ask any more questions, they jumped onto the carriage and drove the carriage to Mingshifang in the south.

When the carriage disappeared at the end of the street, a group of guards in brocade clothes turned around from the corner where it was parked, followed by an ordinary carriage, and stopped at the gate of Su Mansion.Su Yan jumped out of the car first and took a few breaths of fresh air.

He turned his head and said to Prince Yu and Shen Qi who were flirting with each other in the carriage: "Go to the living room to discuss in detail, and bring that sword."

It was getting dark, Chen Shiyu packed up the prescription records on the consultation table, and ordered the drug boy to close the door.

The medical hut was closed early today, because he promised his wife that he would drink the full moon wine from relatives' children.The lights in the house were blown out one by one, and Chen Shiyu was about to leave with the emergency medicine kit on his back when he heard a knock on the door.

The drug boy said loudly: "The doctor has something to do, I won't see a doctor tonight, please come back tomorrow."

The knock on the door was still ringing steadily but firmly.

The drug boy was a little angry: "I said that I don't see a doctor or an injury, why don't you understand?"

"Okay, stop screaming, maybe you are seriously injured, and saving people is like putting out a fire, so it doesn't matter if you go back later." Chen Shiyu patted the little drug boy on the head, and walked over to open the door himself.

The wooden door opened with a "squeak".The room was dim, and the eyebrows of the man standing outside the door were sunk in shadows, and only two hazy yellow lights vaguely illuminated his outline.Chen Shiyu saw that the other party was standing tall and straight, and his breathing sounded even and steady, not like a wounded person, so he said politely: "My guest, I have something urgent to do. The medical hut will be closed, please come back tomorrow."

Two guards with lanterns came out from behind the man, just about to yell at him, but the man stretched out his hand to stop him.

The man reached out and took off the hood of the cloak, and called out in a low voice: "Mr. Ying Xu."

The voice was quite familiar, Chen Shiyu saw the other person's face clearly through the light, and the medicine box in his hand fell to the ground with a bang: "The emperor..."

The man nodded slightly: "Go in and talk."

The master's doctor didn't leave, and neither could the medicine boy, who was muttering and grinding herbs in the yard.Two guards with knives stood outside the closed door, with serious faces and vigilant eyes.

The clinic room was brightly lit, and the two sat opposite each other.

After Chen Shiyu's pulse diagnosis, he carefully checked Emperor Jinglong's eyes, ears, mouth and nose. Finally, he asked for a blood-stained handkerchief, identified the color, and smelled the smell.

He occasionally went in and out of the palace, and he heard palace people talk about the emperor's chronic headache, but the emperor did not order him to treat him, and there were many experts in the imperial hospital, so he didn't take the initiative to ask for it.

This time the emperor came to the medical hut at night in disguise, which was really beyond his expectation.Chen Shiyu vaguely realized that the emperor did not want to be known about his condition by the people in the palace, including the imperial physician.

Emperor Jing Long briefly described the latest new symptoms, and asked: "Suddenly black and invisible objects appear in front of my eyes, and suddenly they are clear as usual. What is the reason?"

Chen Shiyu twitched his beard and pondered for a moment, then replied: "It seems to be an eye problem, but Cao Min carefully checked the emperor's eyes and did not find any symptoms of disease. Then it is more likely that it is caused by a head disease."

"Then what about the unexplained bleeding in the nose, which was also caused by the head disease?"

"It's possible. It's spring now, with a lot of rain and humid weather, basically no bleeding due to dry nasal passages. And judging from the pulse condition of the emperor, the yin and yang in the body are balanced, and the yang qi is slightly exuberant, but not to the point of excessive anger." , and it is unlikely to cause nosebleeds. Cao Min thought about it, and there is a speculation, I don't know if it is right or not."

The emperor smiled: "Let's talk, I'm not someone who shies away from medical treatment. I can trust Mr. Yingxu's character and medical skills."

Chen Shiyu cupped his hands to thank him, and said just now: "Caomin dare to ask, to what extent has the emperor's headache deteriorated?"

The emperor sighed: "I have been suffering from headaches for several years. From two or three times a year to two or three times a month, decoctions, acupuncture, moxibustion... I have tried all the treatment methods proposed by the imperial physician, but still There is no cure. Not only have the attacks been frequent recently, but the pain has also become more intense, especially after exertion or emotional ups and downs."

Chen Shiyu persuaded: "The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and overwork will damage the vitality. According to the internal medicine, the human body emphasizes the unity of man and nature, and the five movements and six qi are in harmony to be healthy. "

The emperor asked back: "What about surgery?"

"Surgery..." Chen Shiyu hesitated for a while, and finally decided to obey the medical profession. What should be said must be said, "Surgery regards a person as a combination of bones, flesh, marrow, tendons, blood, etc., but these parts are different from each other. It is not isolated, and it affects the whole body. Among them, the most subtle and complex, the most difficult to detect and treat is the brain."

"These words seem to be similar. I heard Qinghe say something similar." A strange brilliance flashed across the emperor's eyes, and he lowered his eyes immediately, "The hot compress and fumigation methods he offered are very effective, but they can only relieve for a while."

Chen Shiyu was even more frowning when he heard this: "Master Su is very insightful in medical theory, and he also has miraculous folk remedies. If even his methods don't work, then this disease will be even more difficult. Let Caomin tell the truth—— The cause of my grandfather's headache may not be the common wind and evil invasion, but the specific situation inside the skull is unknown. Apart from using internal medicine to continue to treat with decoction and acupuncture, Caomin has no better way. "

The emperor was disappointed in his heart, and he didn't show the slightest expression on his face. He said lightly: "In the past, Duke Cao had a severe headache. Put to death. How does Mr. Yingxu view this matter?"

Chen Shiyu was shocked, but also vaguely expected that the emperor would ask this question.He pondered for a moment, then said: "The loss of the "Qing Nang Jing" by Miracle Doctor Hua is a huge loss to my Chinese medical skills. But even if it is handed down, others may not dare to practice the treatment he dared to mention, even if they dare to practice it, There is no such ability to guarantee the success of the treatment.”

The emperor looked at him: "Mr. Ying Xu is called the 'sage of the world', do you dare not, or can't?"

Chen Shiyu bowed his hands and confessed: "The grassroots people have a bit of a bad reputation, but in fact they are not as good as Wang Hua's genius doctor. They dare not, and they can't."

The emperor was silent for a long time, his face was like a cloudless sky.

Just when Chen Shiyu was feeling uneasy, thinking that Longyan was going to be angry, the emperor suddenly stood up with a calm expression: "Since Mr. Ying Xu said so, I don't want to force others to do things wrong. This matter will stop here, and I will just pretend that I have never been here before."

Seeing that the emperor was about to walk out of the consultation room, Chen Shiyu finally couldn't help but said, "My lord, why don't you invite Mr. Su to come over, and Cao Min will discuss with him to see if we can find another way?"

"No need." The emperor paused, turned his head slightly, his tone was calm but irresistible, "I hope Mr. Yingxu will keep this matter a secret for me, and you must not mention a word in front of Su Yan, otherwise I will punish you. "

Chen Shiyu knew the weight contained in these light and fluffy words, and immediately bowed to the ground and saluted: "Whether it is out of abiding by medical ethics or following the imperial decree, the grassroots will never disclose the relevant information of the seeker. Please rest assured, the emperor."

The emperor nodded and left a sentence before leaving: "If you have any new ideas, come and see me again."

Chen Shiyu respectfully sent the emperor out, until the carriage the other party was riding in was hidden in the night, then he raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said guiltily: "I only hate that I can't heal all the people in the world because I have no good hands in my life."

Yaotong listened behind him, and said unconvinced: "The Original Meaning of Surgery written by Mr. has been cited as a classic by surgeons all over the world. If Mr.'s hands are not considered good hands, are there any good hands in the world?"

Chen Shiyu shook his head again and again: "The knowledge of medicine is like an ocean, and this old man is just a drop in the ocean."

Regarding Emperor Jinglong's illness, he really wanted to study hard and try to find a new treatment, but he also had many scruples, so he couldn't make a big deal out of it.Originally, he wanted to discuss it with Mr. Su, maybe he could have an epiphany, but the emperor strictly ordered not to disclose this matter, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

The drug boy urged: "Sir, don't go home soon, madam is in a hurry, and I will send you off again. Last time, madam asked sir to stop by to buy vegetables on the way home, but mister forgot all about it and ran to Yizhuang to dissect Wuzhu's body." , come back with a bad smell, how mad is Madam, sir, have you forgotten?"

Chen Shiyu shuddered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, remembering that there was a dead body in Yizhuang yesterday, it is said that he died of severe head disease and epilepsy.How about taking this opportunity to cut open the skull of the deceased to see what happened to the lesion in the brain?

Most of the operations he performed were between flesh and blood, and this was the first time he had a craniotomy.But his thirst for knowledge and sincerity for medical skills drove him, and he couldn't wait to close the door, and hurried into the carriage with the medicine box on his back.

The drug boy shouted from behind: "Sir, the direction is wrong! Home is here!"

Chen Shiyu said without turning her head: "You can go and accompany Madam for me, just say that the old man has something urgent to deal with, and ask my son to accompany her to drink the full moon wine!"
