At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 422
Jiao Xin already knew that the person in front of him was King Zhou of the Ming Dynasty, so the injury on his head was for nothing.

However, he was not angry, so what if you are the prince, I am the imperial physician!

Healing diseases and saving lives is my old profession. You, a prince, are not enjoying the glory and wealth at home, why come here to mess around?
What's more, I am an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to be in charge of miasma in Dongxiang. Why should I listen to you?
The king of Zhou smiled faintly and said, "Isn't that the imperial doctor Jiao? This king would like to ask for advice. According to what you see, how should this pestilence be eradicated?"

Jiao Xin knew that if he offended Lord Zhou, there would be no good fruit to eat, but with the arrogance of a scholar welling up in him, he didn't care much.

Anyway, I have already offended, even if I apologize now, it may not be of any effect.

Just go head-to-head, at least you can't lose in your field of expertise.

Maybe Prince Zhou was overwhelmed by his own talent, so the matter of Cai just now will be forgotten...

"It is recorded in Waitai Secrets that miasma and malaria are divided into two, which are actually the same, or cold first and then hot, or hot and then cold. The Lingnan rate is called miasma, and the general name of Jiangbei is malaria. .”

While Jiao Xin was talking, he felt a stream of blood flow from his forehead, so he stretched out a hand to hold his scalp.

"Malaria can be divided into ovale malaria, vivax malaria, and three-day malaria. These days, the lower officials have visited the folks and observed that the symptoms of the people here are mostly chills, headaches, high fever, and then severe anemia. This is vivax malaria. "

"In the "Su Wen" records, the Yellow Emperor asked Qi Bo, saying: Husband's malaria is born in the wind, why is it sometimes covered? Qi Bo replied: The house of Qi is deep, the inside is thinner than Yin, Yang Qi is alone, and Yin evil is inside It is said that Yin and Yang cannot compete with each other, it is done in time."

The King of Zhou was a little impatient to hear this, so he asked: "I have said so much, and it is all about the doctor buying a donkey. This king only asks you, how to treat this disease?"

Jiao Xin put on a proud attitude, and continued: "There are many ways to treat malaria. The Bupleurum Guijiang Decoction in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" uses Bupleurum and Scutellaria to reconcile the exterior and interior. Guizhi, dried ginger, and licorice Warming the yang and strengthening the pathogenic factors, trichosanthum pollen and oysters dissipating stagnation and softness, you can add Shuqi or Changshan to dispel pathogenic factors and cut off malaria."

"The mountain miasma and malaria prescription recorded in "Waitai Miyao" is boiled soy sauce, ground rhinoceros juice and taken, and the pueraria root juice is added in time. Its big heat is as big as Zixue as two jujubes, and it is drunk with water , and cooking Huanglong soup is also good, each can take three or two liters."

"There is also Dachaihu Decoction, two and a half qian of Bupleurum, three qian of rhubarb, one qian of Citrus aurantium, two qian of red peony, two qian of scutellaria baicalensis, two qian of pinellia, one dose of Shangzuo, two bells of water, five pieces of ginger, and one red date. Flakes, decocted for [-] minute, and taken far away. It can cure typhoid fever that persists for more than ten days, with stagnation of pathogenic heat, body heat and irritability, speech delirium, constipation, and tingling pain around the navel."

After Jiao Xin finished reciting the medical book, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he continued: "As for the Artemisia annua that His Highness just mentioned, according to the records in the book "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", Artemisia annua has the effects of reducing deficiency fever, cooling blood, relieving summer heat, and treating malaria. , Xiaguan dares to ask, is Your Highness going to make Haoqin Qingdan Decoction?"

The king of Zhou was noncommittal to this sentence, and asked instead: "Do you still know Haoqin Qingdan Decoction?"

"That's natural!"

The complacency on Jiao Xin's face became more and more obvious, and he shook his head and said, "This Haoqin Qingdan Decoction is made of Qinghao Naoqian half to two qian, Danzhuru three qian, fairy pinellia half qian, and red poria cocos three qian Qingziqin half to three qian, raw aurantium husk half to half, Chen Guangpi half to half, jasper powder three qian, decocted in water.

King Zhou nodded and said, "You are good at reciting books, but you don't know how to do medicine?"

Jiao Xin didn't hear the sarcasm in these words at all, and continued to show off: "Haoqin Qingdan Decoction can cure Shaoyang and Sanjiao dampness and heat stagnation, stagnation of qi, nausea in the chest, and cold and heat like malaria. The miasma and plague that came to Dongxiang is also suitable for the disease, but now the people in Dongxiang have been infected with the disease, so I don’t know how many medicinal materials His Highness has prepared, and how many people can be cured?”

"If I remember correctly, His Highness just ordered people to buy Artemisia annua. Could it be that other medicinal materials have been prepared properly? Right now, there are not one thousand sick people, but eight hundred. I don't know His Highness... How many have you prepared?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

King Zhou burst into laughter suddenly, and everyone present was at a loss.

Qiu Yuan thought that the king of Zhou was being squeezed by Jiao Xin and didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Physician Jiao, don't be rude to Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Jiao Xin became even more arrogant, and said: "The Emperor Meng did not give up, and sent me here to eliminate the pestilence..."

"Just you?"

Before Jiao Xin could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by King Zhou, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Anyway, I am also an official of the imperial court, a doctor of the eighth grade, and a special envoy sent by the emperor. Even if you are a vassal, if you don’t give me face, you should give the emperor and the court face, right?

King Zhou stepped forward and said, "Since the emperor sent you to eliminate the miasma, why don't you tell me, what have you done?"

Jiao Xin blushed immediately, and distinguished: "The medicine prescribed by the lower officials is effective, but... the common people walk around with each other, repeated infection, it is difficult to cure..."

King Zhou sneered and said, "In this way, the imperial hospital can only memorize books. This prescription and that medicinal material are memorized fluently. They really want to cure diseases and save lives, but they are helpless."

"I... the next officer..."

Jiao Xin didn't know what to do for a moment, his forehead twitched, and he said, "Could it be that Your Highness has some good strategies?"

The king of Zhou solemnly said: "It's just miasma and plague, and Artemisia annua is enough."

Hearing this, Jiao Xin showed a haughty expression on his face again, and said: "Although Your Highness's Haoqin Qingdan Decoction can drive away cold and eliminate malaria, the officials think that the effect of this prescription is not as good as that of Dachaihu Decoction, and the dosage is huge. If you want to cure millions of people at the same time, where can you buy these many medicinal materials?"

"Who told you to use Haoqin Qingdan Decoction?"

"Didn't Your Highness say to use Artemisia annua..."

"This king was talking about using Artemisia annua, but he didn't mention Haoqin Qingdan Decoction!"

Jiao Xin was a little puzzled, and said: "Your Majesty is stupid, please tell me clearly!"

King Zhou said: "You imperial physicians have a set of prescriptions on your back. I would like to ask you, have you used all those prescriptions? How effective are they? Just now you mentioned Shennong Materia Medica, Suwen, and typhoid fever. On the secrets of foreign affairs, is there no other way to get rid of malaria in the world?"

The arrogance on Jiao Xin's face gradually disappeared, but he still insisted on saying: "The descendant has three generations of imperial physicians, and he has read medical books since he was a child. Miasma and malaria are not difficult diseases. These prescriptions are enough. "

King Zhou shook his head helplessly, and said: "The "Behind the Elbow" written by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recorded five common prescriptions for treating cold, fever and malaria. I don't know?"
