Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 993

Qin Qiong is ill.

Numerous old injuries and old diseases left over from years of war relapsed, and the illness came like a mountain, and the whole person fell ill on the couch all of a sudden, unable to get up.

The envoy sent by the emperor from Luoyang to Songzhou was originally to worship Qin Qiong as the deputy marshal of the Helong army, and let him go to Qinghai to take over from Hou Junji and preside over the Qinghai Pingtuyuhun campaign.

The position of Grand Marshal was reserved for Cheng Qian, who nominally assumed command, but actually handed over to Qin Qiong to lead the army.

For this reason, the emperor also specially added the title of Prime Minister of Pingzhang Military and State Affairs to Qin Qiong, but Qin Qiong couldn't even stay at the hotel to greet him.

The envoy hurried back to Luoyang to report to the emperor.

"Shubao has only been away from Beijing for half a year. When we parted earlier, I saw that he was still in good health."

Li Shimin sighed deeply. Qin Qiong's injury problems became more and more serious before, and he deliberately forced Qin Qiong to stay in Beijing for two years, just to let him adjust and recuperate.

In the two years in Beijing, although my health didn't get better, it didn't get worse either. Why did it become so serious so soon after I returned to Songzhou.

"Call the Imperial Physician!"

The Shang Medical Bureau, the Shang Food Bureau, the Imperial Medical Bureau, etc., all the medical institutions enshrining famous doctors, Li Shimin sent people to call those famous doctors to come.

Let the envoy carefully describe Qin Qiong's current physical condition to them, and a group of famous doctors listened to the envoy's knowledge and came to prescribe Qin Qiong's prescription, which is really difficult for these everyone.

However, these famous doctors have actually shown Qin Qiong before, knowing that Qin Qiong is due to old injuries from the war, especially the serious problem of blood loss.

Previously, Qin Qiong ate some folk remedies given by Qin Lang, various prescriptions for nourishing blood and nourishing qi, and the effect was indeed good after eating. These prescriptions surprised the censors, and carefully asked Qin Lang for advice.

It has also been verified now, and many new prescriptions have even been formulated based on Qin Lang's prescriptions. Before Qin Qiong returned to Jiannan, Li Shimin specially asked the imperial doctor to prepare many medicines and bring them back.

"Earlier, Shubao was fine after taking the prescription prescribed by Qin Lang, but now he collapsed after taking the medicine prescribed by you?"

The imperial doctors felt that they were wronged. They carefully verified and improved Qin Lang's prescription for nourishing blood and nourishing qi, and the effect was indeed very good. Qin Qiong had taken it for almost two years before, and it was not bad.

As for the materials used, it is even more refined. For example, ginseng only uses old ginseng from Baishan in Liaodong, at least a century-old ginseng. They are all tribute from the Mohe people in Baishan in Liaodong, and the emperor specially took them out from the palace.

In addition, astragalus, donkey-hide gelatin, velvet antler, etc., use the best materials, and the compatibility and dosage of various materials are very careful.

An old imperial doctor with a gray beard bluntly said that Qin Qiong's current condition is not caused by taking bad medicine. The prescription is fine, no matter Qin Lang's prescription, their prescription, or even the prescription Qin Qiong took the first time, there is no problem. The prescriptions are all good prescriptions, and one is better than the other.

"Qin Taibao relied on these precious prescriptions to renew his essence. Taibao's body lost too much energy and blood. When he was younger, he was stronger and had the ability to make blood, barely nourishing. But the older The older you are, the more harmful your old diseases will be, and the older you are, the more old diseases you have, and the body's own hematopoietic function is getting weaker and weaker, so relying on ginseng and astragalus alone is just a drop in the bucket!"

This old imperial doctor is enshrined in the Shangyao Bureau, and he is the most skilled in the Yaoshang Bureau, and the Shangyao Bureau is the highest official medical institution in the Tang Dynasty. The Imperial Medical Office is just an institution under the Taichang Temple. It is in charge of teaching, cultivating and managing medicinal materials for medical students, but there are not many famous doctors in it.

Li Shimin could only believe what the old priest said.

"Is there no other prescription? Shubao is the founding hero of our Tang Dynasty, and he has made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty. I fought side by side with Shubao back then. Shubao's big spear and my long bow are invincible. Unstoppable, invincible!"

"Shubao is still very young!"

······
Sitting there, the emperor fondly recalled the glorious days of the golden and iron horse that once fought side by side with Qin Qiong, looking down upon him.

"No matter what, you all have to cure Shubao!"

·······
This is a worry for a group of imperial doctors.

Although they have excellent medical skills, they don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life. Even if the King of Medicine is alive, they may be helpless.

Just as they could do nothing about Empress Changsun's condition, they also had nothing to do with Qin Qiong, who was already terminally ill.

But today the emperor was angry.

Facing these imperial doctors who said they could do nothing, the emperor was outraged.

He suddenly kicked over the imperial case in front of him, pointed at the panicked imperial doctors and cursed.

"Back then when King Jiang was suffering from acne, you said he was powerless. Prime Minister Ma Zhou suffered from thirst. You said there was no cure. The queen was suffering from a gas disease. You said it was an incurable disease. Now that Qin Qiong is sick, you said it again. Heaven is powerless!"

"What use do I want you people? Every day you brag about your superb medical skills, and you talk like crazy, you are deceiving the emperor!"

The imperial doctors all knelt down on the ground.

Even the old priest with white beard fell on the ground.

The wrath of the Son of Heaven is really astonishing, like the sky falling apart.

It is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Say, what is the prescription!"

But if anyone has any prescriptions, all the good ones have been used.

silence.

All the imperial doctors were sweating in panic, but no one dared to speak casually. After all, it was easy to make up nonsense, but it would be ineffective, and it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Aren't you all so conceited, why are you all speechless now?"

During this period of time, the Queen's condition became more and more serious. Li Shimin watched the Queen's thinner and thinner every day, and watched her forcefully smile at him, and felt uncomfortable all the time.

Even Su Shi, the princess concubine whom I personally chose for the prince, was born barren. He asked the imperial hospital for treatment, but there was no progress.

Li Shimin became more and more dissatisfied with the imperial doctors, and even blamed the incompetence of the imperial doctors for the fact that Prince Chengqian was fighting against him and ran to Longyou.

If the empress hadn't been in poor health these past few years, she could have helped manage Chengqian. In the past, Chengqian was a very virtuous prince. He respected his parents, respected his teachers, and loved his brothers. He was completely different from the rebellious appearance he is now.

If Su's illness could be cured and he could conceive a son for Chengqian, their father and son wouldn't be in trouble like they are now.

These dissatisfaction piled up in my heart, and all of them burst out today.

The emperor, who hadn't kicked the imperial case for a long time, kicked the imperial case again.

The imperial doctors were trembling and lying there, no one dared to take a breath.

"If you can't figure it out, no one is allowed to leave!"

The emperor showed a rare tyrant's temperament. Under the dragon's power, all the medical officers were trembling and sweating.

"Saint, why don't you issue an order to ask the Duke of Wei."

An imperial physician dared to speak out.

"Qin Lang? You are the most famous medical officer in the Tang Dynasty, but now you ask me to ask Qin Lang?"

"Saint, Duke Wei has met Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, and I heard that he has to be kissed by the king of medicine. The method of inoculation of acne by Duke Wei is not proof. Even the blood-nourishing formula that Duke Qi used before is also from Duke Wei. We are just following Duke Wei's prescription and making adjustments to suit Duke Qi's physical condition."

Li Shimin let out a long breath.

Gritting his teeth, "Come here, send someone to see Qin Lang in Lingnan immediately, tell him that Shubao is seriously ill, and my imperial doctors are all trash, let Qin Lang quickly find a way to get a prescription."

The servant carefully reminded the emperor.

"At Zhaijia, Duke Wei has led his troops to patrol the west. Yesterday, Duke Wei gave a memorial to enter the palace, saying that he has left Qianzhong Road and entered Yunnan Road. He is currently in the newly established Weining Prefecture, meeting Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Chumo, Zhang Shigui and the three generals will meet to declare and fuss all the barbarians in the south!"

Li Shimin patted his head.

Really confused, I forgot that Qin Lang was no longer in Lingnan, and went west to Yunnan.

I also praised him in the form I posted yesterday, and some officials who recommended him also agreed, and the requests for the establishment of the Weining Dudu Mansion, Qujing Dudu Mansion, and Yingzhou Dudu Mansion were all approved.

This will be completely forgotten.

"That's right, Qin Lang has already arrived in Yunnan, and he asked someone to hurry up and send him along the post road to Yunnan, taking the water post!"

After thinking about it, the emperor made another special confession.

Depart from Luoyang, first go to Xiangyang, then go down to Jingzhou, then go up the Yangtze River, go straight to Luzhou, and enter Yunnan through the Wuchi Road in Rongzhou. This road is basically a waterway. If the military order is delivered, it can be delivered faster.

All the imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief.

But the emperor didn't mean to let them retreat.

The emperor stared at them for a long time, making everyone's scalp numb.

"Although Qin Lang is ignorant and knowledgeable, he may not have a good prescription. Don't just throw your hands away like this. Keep thinking about it. Is there a good prescription?"

The imperial physicians are suffering incomparably, if there is really a cure, there is no need to wait until now.

But the emperor is so aggressive that he doesn't even make sense, so what can they do.

A middle-aged imperial doctor couldn't take it anymore.

"Saint, I heard that there is a folk remedy that may be useful, but it has not been tested yet."

"Say!"

The imperial doctor was sweating and said, "The folk prescription mainly uses two ingredients. One is donkeys on the ground, which are slaughtered, peeled and boiled to make donkey glue, and then added... and then added..." The imperial doctor concluded He stammered and dared not speak, sweating profusely.

"Say!" Li Shimin's tone became a little more serious.

The imperial doctor's face was pale, so he had no choice but to tremble and said, "I heard that donkey skins on the ground are boiled into glue, and they are paired with dragon whiskers in the sky..."

"Dragon beard in the sky?" Li Shimin's long face was furious. The dragon could see its head but not its tail. The illusory things only existed in legends and myths. Where could he find them?

"Saint, calm down, the saint is the true son of the dragon, and the beard of the saint is the beard of the dragon!" Seeing that the emperor was furious, the imperial doctor hurriedly said.

"My beard?" Li Shimin reached out and stroked his beard.

Today's son has a beautiful beard, and the emperor's mother, the Dou family, was born in a famous family. However, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the famous families in Guanlong have basically intermarried with Xianbei people. Li Shimin's grandmother, the Dugu family, was originally from the Xianbei family.

Especially since the Northern Dynasties, Hu and Han merged, and many Hu people such as Xianbei took the initiative to Sinicize and integrate into the Han nationality.

For example, since the Northern Dynasties, men in the Central Plains have considered big beards to be beautiful, and even those men with mixed blood like Hu people tended to grow big beards.

Li Shimin's beard is very beautiful. Like the world, he also likes to comb and even decorate his beard. It is carefully trimmed and maintained, and he takes care of the decoration every day.

The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to take care of my beard and hair.

This mighty beard took a lot of attention.When Li Shimin was in command of the army in his twenties, he purposely grew his beard very long to make himself look more mature.

After becoming the emperor, his beard style changed again, making himself look more majestic.

"Cut!"

"For my general, a little beard is nothing!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he went directly to the side, picked up a pair of golden scissors for cutting candle wicks, and cut it for himself, and cut off the beautiful beard in two or three strokes.

"Is it enough? I can cut off the ones on my lips, and I still have two cheeks."

The imperial doctor swallowed, but felt very hoarse.

"Saint, in fact, the dragon's whiskers are used as a guide, you just need to pull out a few." He lowered his voice as he spoke.

The emperor's eyes showed murderous intent, his chest heaved and heaved.

It took a long time for the emperor to calm down a little.

"It's okay, send them to Songzhou as soon as possible, and keep them as spares. Songzhou and Luoyang are thousands of miles away, so it's better to keep more spares!"

A group of imperial doctors bowed their heads and dared not speak.

Li Shimin reached out to stroke his beard, but it was empty.

Touching his chin with stubble, the emperor smiled, "If I can heal a general with a handful of beards, I will grow beards in the future, and I will cut them off regularly for medicine."

"You all step back, go back and think about it again, is there any good medicine!"

A group of imperial doctors retreated sweating, and some imperial doctors who were good at maintaining health almost fainted after they walked out of the hall.

"The power of the real dragon!"

The middle-aged imperial doctor who suggested using dragon beard as medicine said with a pale face.

The other imperial doctors didn't say a word. They were all famous doctors, and they knew very well that the prescription prescribed by this colleague just now was actually nothing special.

It's just donkey glue, which indeed has the function of nourishing blood, but if it can be said to be able to cure Qin Qiong, the current situation is difficult.

But this colleague just stood up and donated the donkey glue and Longxu Fang, which saved everyone, and everyone owed him a favor, so no one would tear him down.

Maybe a dead horse can be effective when used as a living horse medicine. After all, donkey glue is really a good thing for nourishing blood. If you add some ginseng or deer grass, it can also replenish qi.

As for the dragon's beard as a guide, I hope this really has such a good effect.

"Heaven's grace is mighty!"

The imperial doctor who presented the prescription sighed again, feeling like he had escaped from death, standing here and blowing in the wind, his heart felt cold.

When he said that he used the dragon's beard as a guide, he really didn't expect that the emperor would cut off his own beard!
