Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 289 Dingchuan Decoction

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "I have praised your stinky feet once, and you let me praise you for the second time. You don't thank me at all, and you still let me tie a hemp rope around my waist!"

He said: "Master Li, last time I pressed your feet and legs, it was a method, and today it is also a method, and the effect is good. But have you noticed that you press your feet and legs yourself? It’s inconvenient, and you have this disease, you always suffer from it, it’s impossible that I happen to be by your side every time, don’t you think so?”

Li Ji nodded his head. As soon as he didn't suffer from the pain, his brain became more flexible, and he said, "So you are teaching me how to save myself if I encounter such a thing in the future!"

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "Teachers dare not say, students dare not teach Mr. Li anything, just discuss with each other, make progress together, make progress together!"

Li Ji laughed heartily and said, "Progress? This old man can improve, but what about you, go further, and plan to be equal to the old immortal Sun Zhenren?"

Here we go again, why are you always so eccentric!Wang Pingan laughed dryly and said, "Last time I asked Mr. Li, you have a prescription, which is very effective in curing your disease, but according to the students, it may not be true, you still always get sick!"

Li Ji's face darkened, and he wanted to refute, but he couldn't refute.This Wang Ping'an is right, why is my disease not good? At the beginning, the emperor got sick with the same symptoms. After taking the medicine, the disease gradually recovered, but it was his turn. Drinking was like drinking for nothing. not good!

Li Ji suddenly thought, is it because my body is better than the emperor's... No no, the emperor's dragon body is strong, how can I be better than his body, I should be weaker than his old man!

So since I am weaker than the emperor, should I increase the dose?Otherwise, I will give it a try, take a few more doses, a serious illness needs strong medicine, maybe drink a few more doses at a time, the disease will be cured soon, just like the emperor healed so quickly!
Sun Simiao had never seen a doctor for Li Ji, but Li Shimin had a good prescription. Seeing that Li Ji's disease was "exactly the same" as his symptoms, he kindly gave the prescription to Li Ji. Now that Sun Simiao is not around, Li Ji couldn't ask a doctor, and he refused to ask Wang Ping'an, so he thought wisely and wanted to increase the dose of the medicine and take it to see the effect!
Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second!As a general, not admitting defeat is a good quality, and only by not admitting defeat can one win a battle.Li Ji, as the most capable military general in the Tang Dynasty at this time, is sure to have arrogance in his heart. Although he does not know medical skills, he has a problem, that is, the more others practice, the more unconvinced he is!

The higher Wang Ping's medical skills were, the more Li Ji refused to ask him. Wang Pingan was not Sun Zhenren.
Look at Wang Ping'an, the benevolence of a woman with a head, who can like him, is the same as a woman with a head like the prince... The prince is still very strong, and it was all brought down by Wang Ping'an!

Because Li Ji was "forced to volunteer" and took the blame for Wang Ping'an, he has always been worried about it. Although deep down in his heart, he knew that Wang Ping'an was a pretty good person, but he refused to admit it and insisted on belittling him. If you don't sneer at him, he won't be comfortable!
Li Ji said: "Your medical skills are still very good, but I don't need you to flatter me. Next time I get sick again, you can go as far as you can. Don't come to me to show off your medical skills!"

After a pause, he coughed, and said again: "You applied the needle just now, and the old man saw it. The needle is still in place. You bring the needle, and the old man will teach you how to do it!"

Wang Pingan was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little dazed, Li Ji also used needles?But since he knows how to use needles, why didn't he use them before, and he waited for me to use them up before he said?He handed the Seven Star Needle to Li Ji, wanting to see how Li Ji used the needle and how he could teach him how to do it!
Who knows, Li Ji took the seven-star needle, put it in his arms, looked up at the scholars and common people around him, stood up, and shouted: "What nonsense are you waiting for? Do you still want to quit?"

Scholars and common people quickly shook their heads, who dares to make any more noise, it will drive you to death, if something happens to you, everyone will be unlucky!

Li Ji snorted, and said: "There is no danger in this diagnosis, everyone, just don't worry, don't be afraid. Fear is of no use, you have never had smallpox, now you are afraid to quit, if you really get smallpox in the future , wouldn’t it be regrettable, it’s better to participate in syndrome differentiation now, with Ping’an’s little genius doctor taking care of him, the chance of surviving is better!”

Scholars and common people thought about it, and it was right, too late is worse than early, taking advantage of Wang Ping'an here, and the court paid to take care of it, if the danger is not resolved now, wouldn't it be more worrying in the future!They nodded one after another, and they stopped clamoring to quit. Although they still had their own ideas in their hearts, there must be no one making trouble today!

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Wang Pingan said in a low voice: "Master Li, don't you want to teach the students a few tricks? Why don't you teach them now!"

Li Ji squinted his eyes and snorted, "You young man, you really don't know what to prioritize. With so many things going on now, you still have the mood to learn medicine from this old man. Do you still look like an imperial court official? Tell me, do you still want to learn medicine from me?" Do you seem to be a man of great importance? Ah, talk!"

Hey - well, you have the guts, I admire you!Wang Ping'an's nose was almost out of breath, and I let you say everything, and I was the one to be scolded!Okay, just wait, you don't need to be so stinky, you will have to beg me again sooner or later.Don't think that seeing me use acupuncture means you can use it. Next time you get sick again, I can guarantee that you won't even be able to find the acupuncture points!
Wang Ping'an lowered his head and said, "The student knows he made a mistake, so he won't dare to do it again next time!"

Li Ji hummed, patted Wang Ping'an's shoulder with a smile, and said, "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about being good. You are free from illness. From now on, you should work hard and be a good person. Don't let the old man worry about you anymore!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ji flicked his sleeves and left slowly.Walking out of the yard, I touched the seven-star needle in my bosom, and thought: "This thing is good, it works, and if I get sick again in the future, I can just use it!"

Wang Pingan stood in the courtyard, looked at Li Ji's back, shook his head repeatedly, and thought: "He must have been stimulated..."

Ding Danruo leaned close to him, and said in a small voice: "Master, I see that Master Li doesn't seem to thank you very much, and even took your seven-star needle away!"

Ke Lianwu also came over, but said: "Actually, I think this Mr. Li is very grateful to the young master, but it seems that because of something, he feels uncomfortable, so he refuses to express his gratitude!"

Wang Ping'an snorted, and said, "What's the matter with him, making him uncomfortable?"

At this time, Di Renjie also came over. He saw the situation just now, and said with a smile: "It's not a relative, but he has to take risks for the eldest brother and bear the responsibility. He doesn't count his meritorious deeds, but runs away if he has done something wrong." No, whoever changes it will feel unhappy!"

Wang Pingan touched the hemp rope in his waist, thinking: "No wonder, he is so interested in me tying hemp rope, so it's because of this!"

The two little girls turned their heads together and looked at Di Renjie, thinking in their hearts: "Is what Xiao Di said true? If it is true, then he is quite accurate at judging people! Oh, what we usually think, he will not Can you see it too?"

Wang Pingan went back to his room, wrote a prescription for Li Ji, and wrote a prescription for treating asthma.Asthma is a disease that is very difficult to treat, but Chinese medicine is still very capable in this regard. As long as you persist in taking the medicine, you can effectively control the probability of the disease!
When he was giving Li Ji the needle just now, he had taken the pulse for him, and based on Li Ji's usual symptoms, it can be concluded that it is asthma, which is certain. As for the type, it can also be concluded that it is the asthma type.

For this type of asthma, according to Li Ji's symptoms, the more effective prescription is suitable for each person. It is a prescription collected in the medical book "The Wonderful Prescription for All Living Beings" edited by Zhang Shiche in the Ming Dynasty, called Dingchuan Decoction.There are several types of Dingchuan Decoction, and this is one of them.

Ephedra, skullcap, mulberry bark, northern almond...

Wang Pingan wrote out the prescription, thought about it, and decided to use addition and subtraction instead of the original prescription. He changed a few medicines and copied the prescription again.He raised his head and saw Di Renjie beside him, so he asked, "Do you know if Master Li has any symptoms of constipation?"

Di Renjie grinned, shook his head and said, "Where do I know this, I guess if I ask him, he won't tell me!"

Wang Pingan put down the prescription again. If Li Ji is constipated, he needs to add Huang Huang. If he is not constipated, then adding this medicine will not work. He has to figure it out!
He said: "Brother, I have something to do for you. I've spent more time wandering around Mr. Li these few days. When he goes to the latrine, you follow him to see if he has symptoms of constipation!"

Di Renjie grinned and said, "Brother, what do you think of this, do you want me to listen outside?"

"He is getting old, and he needs to save face. We are juniors and we can take care of him, so let's take care of him as much as possible!" Wang Pingan said.

Di Renjie was not very willing in his heart, no matter how clever he was, he was still young and hadn't cultivated the demeanor of a prime minister.He said: "Brother, he doesn't even thank you, why do you care about him so much!"

"Brother, don't be narrow-minded, be magnanimous!" Wang Pingan said with a smile. According to history, Li Ji still has more than 20 years to live. It is certain that asthma is afflicting him, but it is not a fatal disease. , but Li Ji was the one who destroyed Goguryeo!
To avenge Zhongyuan brother, Li Shimin shouted this for half his life, but in the end Li Ji did it. No matter how you look at it, taking good care of this old man is what he should do. National affairs should be listed before private affairs. The principle that Wang Ping'an has always adhered to!

In the future, Di Renjie, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was very reluctant after accepting the task of "peeping" Li Ji, but he had nothing else to do in the village. Since the eldest brother confessed such an important task, He had no choice but to do it!

The two left the house together, and Wang Pingan went to the cowshed. In the past few days, he found that several big cows that had vaccinia were showing signs of improvement, so he wanted to collect the vaccinia pox pulp. If the diagnosis is not good, all the cows with vaccinia will be healed. Wouldn't it mean that there will be no pox paste available!
Di Renjie ran outside the courtyard where Li Ji lived, and began to observe closely.

Di Renjie had enough brains, he didn't really want to see Li Ji go to the latrine, he walked around outside the yard a few times, and then he had an idea in his mind.He left the courtyard and ran to the kitchen. He saw a soldier in the kitchen cooking mung bean soup, so he asked for a bowl, put it on a tray, and went to Li Ji.

The weather was hot, and Li Ji had just recovered from his illness. He was sitting in the room resting, playing with the Qixing needle in his hand. While recalling Wang Pingan's technique with the needle, he was gesticulating on his own arm, intending that the next time he fell ill, he would also Followed up, the method of acupuncture and moxibustion is quite easy to use.

Di Renjie came outside his room with a tray in his hand, and called, "Master Li, there is mung bean soup to relieve the heat, would you like a bowl?"

Li Ji suffers from fever and asthma, and has the symptoms of drinking, always feeling bitter in the mouth, and thirsty.As soon as he heard that there was mung bean soup, he said, "Bring it in!"

Di Renjie came into the room with mung bean soup, saw that Li Ji was carrying something in his arms, he came to the table, put the mung bean soup on the table, and said: "Master Li, this is freshly cooked mung bean soup. Drink it later."

Li Ji hummed, but without waiting for the porridge to cool, he picked up the bowl and blew on the porridge gently, it seemed that he wanted to drink it now.Di Renjie stood by and watched, blinking non-stop, and did not leave.

Li Ji glanced at him and said, "You still have something to do? Hmph, but the Wang family boy, sent you to get the Seven Star Needle back?" He was still thinking about this in his heart!

Di Renjie said with a bitter face: "The student has been feeling unwell for the past two days. Just now, I begged my elder brother, the boy from the Wang family you mentioned. He prescribed a dose of medicine for the student, but because there is no pharmacy here, he couldn't get the medicine. My elder brother said , if there is rhubarb, it will be fine, students don’t need to take medicine for this disease, just lick the rhubarb a few times and it will be cured!”

Li Ji was stunned, put down the bowl in his hand, and asked, "Do you need rhubarb? You can't pull it out when you go to the latrine?" He has been in the army for a long time, and his speech is not polite, so he just said it.

Di Renjie's face became more bitter, and he nodded, "Yes, it's very uncomfortable!"

Li Ji snorted, and said: "Your elder brother can only prescribe medicine, but he doesn't know how to keep in good health. How can you eat rhubarb indiscriminately, it will hurt you too much!"

He stood up, walked to the bed, took out a large cloth bag, opened it, and found that it was full of walnuts.He grabbed seven or eight walnuts, handed them to Di Renjie, and said, "Eat these walnuts, and you can pull them out!"

Di Renjie hurriedly took over the walnuts, put them on the tray, and asked, "Will this work?"

Li Ji grunted, shook his head and said, "It doesn't work every time, but it's better than eating rhubarb."

Di Renjie asked again: "Master Li likes walnuts? He brought so many of them!"

Li Ji tied the cloth bag and said, "I don't like to eat that much!" He went back to the table and blew porridge with a bowl.

Di Renjie went out of the house with the tray in his hand, and went to look for Wang Ping'an in the cowshed. When he saw Wang Ping'an, he said, "Brother, Mr. Li is constipated, there is no doubt about it, you can give him rhubarb!"
