Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 101

"The beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold.

The problem of writing letters in the army is really not a small problem.

The soldiers with broken bones were waiting in line obediently. Without military orders, this would not have been possible. "

In the wing room of the medical hall, Fang Chongyong let Anaye massage his arms and wrists while feeling emotional, and he was so tired that he lay on the bed and almost fell asleep.

These Tang army wounded were from Chishui Army, Dadou Army, and part of the Ganzhou Frontier Army, with only four or five numbers.For these people to obey orders, it can only be done if they are willing to actively cooperate.

There were bursts of soreness and numbness in the arms and wrists, and Fang Chongyong was so happy that he almost groaned.

It must be said that Anaye's massage technique was very clever, which made Fang Chongyong feel confused.

"The imperial court divided medical skills into eight subjects, physical therapy (internal medicine), sores and swellings (surgery), children's (pediatrics), ears, eyes and teeth, keratosis (or moxibustion), acupuncture, massage, and cursing.

I think you are at least very skilled in treating sores and swells and massage, your father's medical skills are not simple. "

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but ask tentatively.Anaye's medical theory is very poor, and some aspects are not as good as her own.But the practical operation is very skillful, obviously there are expert guidance and even hand-in-hand teaching.

"I don't know those things. I learn what my father taught me. But you wrote letters to the wounded soldiers, which surprised me.

Many of these wounded soldiers can no longer go to the battlefield, and farming can only be counted as half of the labor after returning to their hometowns. What's the point of buying the hearts of these people? "

Anaye was born in Liangzhou City, and has seen and greeted all kinds of people since she was a child.Her thinking is not only immature, but very precocious.

Anaye had already understood the behavioral logic that the rich and powerful must ask for what they want when they are courteous.

Isn't Fang Chongyong writing letters to these wounded soldiers just to buy people's hearts?Otherwise, my hands are numb from writing, is it just because I'm cheap?
"Life is not about doing business, how can you be so fussy about gains and losses.

These wounded soldiers were the lucky ones who fought to the death with the Tubo people and survived the catastrophe.When we were chatting in Liangzhou city, they were working hard on the plateau.

How big a deal is it to write a letter home to these people?Do you have to calculate so clearly?
You are used to paying money for medicine in the medical clinic in Liangzhou, but you haven't learned the essence of your father's heart as a doctor and parent.

The world outside is so chaotic, and when interacting with people, they always think that the money and the goods will not be owed to each other, can they live in that day? "

Fang Chongyong acted like a little adult, and began to teach Anaye a lesson.

"You don't understand!"

Anaye sighed: "Many of them don't even know the words, or can only write their names. It's enough to honor their ancestors to have a powerful person like you write a letter to them."

Her words were full of sourness, like a housekeeper.It seemed that Fang Chongyong's life and death had been forgotten, but in fact, it had nothing to do with her, a native girl from Liangzhou with blood from the Western Regions.

"Am I a powerful person?"

Fang Chongyong asked with a surprised look on his face. These words really frightened him. He had always felt that his style was quite low-key.

"Otherwise? Who would believe that a nine-year-old deputy envoy of the Baiting Army is not a dignitary? You wouldn't say that you took this position after fighting for the rest of your life, would you?

Xin Junshi has knife wounds all over his body, do you, a half-grown child with thin skin and tender flesh, have any? "

Anaye rolled Fang Chongyong's eyes, then walked to the table and poured him a cup of sanle syrup for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.

The price of Sanle pulp from the Western Regions (mainly Dunhuang) is much lower than that in Chang’an because of the origin of the raw materials and the distance.And the raw material does not use grain, so it is very popular and widely respected in the Hexi Corridor.

The merchants and travelers who were exposed to the scorching sun during the day went to the restaurants in Liangzhou City at night to have a pot of Sanlejiang, which is refreshing and relieving the heat. The sweet and slightly intoxicating taste is indescribably delicious.

Anaye served so diligently, it was obvious what she wanted to express.She even knew very well what unspeakable things would happen with this half-old child in the future.

Her father made this clear and clear.

She needs a Chinese surname, and she cannot be called Ana Ye in front of outsiders.

She also needs to go to Chang'an to learn medical skills to make a living.

She is a vine, no matter how enchanting it grows, it still needs a strong tree to rely on.

Anaye vaguely felt that her father's attitude towards her was strange, but she didn't think too deeply about it.

"Let's go. Now that you have some rest, you have to go do some serious things."

Fang Chongyong sat up from the bed and prepared to go out.

Anaye sighed quietly and followed the other party.But what she didn't expect was that the "serious matter" Fang Chongyong said was to go to her father, Medical Officer Li, and send a note.

It was a prescription Fang Chongyong "created himself".

……

This is the pharmacy of the medical center, and there is a smell of traditional Chinese medicine everywhere. Specifically, it is a mixture of various smells, but people's noses can't smell anything.

Doctor Li lit the oil lamp, screened Anaye away, and didn't even look at Fang Chongyong who was sitting opposite, his eyes were only on the prescription in his hand.

"This prescription is a good medicine to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality."

Doctor Li put the note on the table and said with emotion.

As a former personal aide to the royal family and vassal, his task is to protect the health of the palace staff.There are too many Mr. Nan Guo in the Imperial Medical Office, who only write books and say that they have no actual combat experience.

But Dr. Li is not that kind of person. Instead, he has very rich medical experience and a solid theoretical foundation.

Normal Chinese medicine prescriptions can be seen to be good or bad.Good medicine needs to constantly adjust the proportion of the formula, but an experienced medical officer can spot the random prescription at a glance.

"Where did Xiao Langjun get this recipe?"

Doctor Li asked in a deep voice.

"I got it in a dream, so I only know the formula, not the proportion. The pharmacology is said by monarchs and ministers. It seems that there is no shortage of this prescription. Doctor Li thinks it is possible to adjust a prescription?"

Fang Chongyong asked calmly.

The prescriptions that have been passed down for hundreds of years are good things that have withstood the practice test of countless people for a long time. It would be strange if something goes wrong.

"What's the use of calling it out?"

Doctor Li did not let go, looked at Fang Chongyong with burning eyes and asked.He is lame, but not blind.

"What the saint in Chang'an needs...doesn't need to be explained clearly, right?"

Fang Chongyong pointed to the top of his head with his index finger and said.

"I understand. Anaye, you will take her to Chang'an to learn medical skills in the future, right?"

"Yes, I will also let her meet her biological father."

Fang Zhongyong nodded cautiously.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

Doctor Li sighed, but shook his head, and flatly refused:

"Anaye's mother was buried in the courtyard of the pharmacy. She is just a poor person who is greedy for vanity. I am not her husband, but a medical officer in the mansion of King Li Yi of Xin'an County.

When Shibao City defeated Tubo, Anaye's mother was the lead dancer at the celebration banquet.

King Xin'an, who was over sixty years old, drank too much, and then...had a romantic time with Anaye's mother here in Liangzhou City.Later, I was crippled because my legs were injured during the match against Tubo, so I had to stay in Liangzhou City to recuperate from my injuries, so I took care of Anaye's mother, who was pregnant at the time, for King Xin'an.

Later, she died in childbirth, and I didn't want Anaye to go to see King Xin'an, who is now nearly eighty years old.

Even if you find it, what's the point?I'm afraid he doesn't remember what happened back then.

So, please let her study medicine well so that she can stand on her own. Don't talk about her biological father, let alone go to King Xin'an. "

Doctor Li, who has always been known for his toughness, does not change his face even if his legs are disabled. At this moment, he actually showed a begging look, which made Fang Chongyong unbearable.

This is a very common story in today's world. Moreover, Orchid from the Western Regions has always been proud of climbing high branches and regards integrity as nothing.It seems reasonable that a young girl would fall in love with the Li family clan who is over 60 years old.

As long as you are in good health, you can play until you grow old!

This era is really a paradise for the rich and powerful. As long as you live, you can enjoy the top luxury.

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but feel sad.

"I remember that King Xin'an used a trick to capture Shibao City. The Tubo people were always unwilling to give in, right?"

Fang Chongyong didn't want to continue entangled in the topic of Anaye, he wanted to ask the parties who participated in this battle back then how the situation in Shibao City was.

"This statement is true. However, Shibao City will definitely be lost in the future, it just depends on the time. The Tibetans only need one point of strength to attack Shibao City, but we need a lot of strength to defend it.

Just like two people wrestling their arms, the strength required by both parties is different.

If the confrontation continued like this, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to maintain the balance of power, the manpower and material resources that the Tang Dynasty would have to spend would be more than ten times that of the Tubo people, and the losses during transportation of grain would be even more staggering.It depends on whether the saint is willing to continue throwing lives and wealth into this bottomless pit. "

Medical Officer Li shook his head in disappointment. He didn't think it was a smart idea for the Tang army to confront the Tubo people on the Qingtang front line.If Tubo cannot be defeated in one battle, then if such a battle continues, even if it takes 20 or 50 years, there will be no winner.

Fang Chongyong, who was not at all familiar with the history of Tangbian Town in the middle of the night, nodded slightly, and said earnestly: "Then I will leave this prescription to Dr. Li."

"It's not a big problem, have you found someone to test the medicine?"

Doctor Li nodded with a smile. To him, the matter of Anaye was the big deal, but the matter of the prescription was not.Because these medicinal materials are very common in Liangzhou when they are used alone, and their properties are very stable, but they don't know what the reaction will be when they are mixed together.

But most of them won't poison people.

Things like wolfberry, cistanche deserticola, and Cynomorium cynomorium are all common medicinal materials and even ingredients in Liangzhou.This prescription is obviously not a tiger or wolf medicine, so there is no harm in giving it a try.

"I found it, there are ten people in Baiting's army."

"Well, the trial period must be at least one month, and two months is not uncommon. Can you wait?"

Doctor Li continued to ask.

"I can wait, but it's hard to say whether the saint can wait, it's better as soon as possible."

Seeing that Medical Officer Li did not express his opinion, Fang Chongyong continued to add: "After I leave Liangzhou, Anaye will go with me. After arriving in Chang'an, I will arrange for her to study medicine at the Imperial Medical Office instead of entering the palace. How about this arrangement?"

After hearing Fang Chongyong's solemn statement, Medical Officer Li felt relieved.He looked at Fang Chongyong with complicated eyes, and finally sighed helplessly: "Be nice to her in the future. Don't be like King Xin'an, who started in chaos and finally gave up."

Men know men best.

Doctor Li understands what kind of thing rich and powerful people are.

When Fang Chongyong grows up, he will not refuse to eat the meat on his lips, and Anaye will definitely fall into the jaws of a tiger in the end.After getting along day and night, they have no relatives in Chang'an, and only Fang Chongyong can rely on them.

Even if Fang Chongyong can bear it by then, Anaye will not.

But these are the prices that this poor girl has to pay to climb up!
Life is not easy, there is never something for nothing.

In order to live a better life, Anaye must serve Fang Chongyong's daily health care in the future, use medical skills to protect her identity, and must serve as a concubine to recommend herself as a pillow mat and even have children. These are all unavoidable.

Pay the price in exchange for a better life, this is the irrefutable truth of life.

Doctor Li is very accurate at seeing people, he knows that this may be the last chance in his life to help Ana Ye get on the "right track".Otherwise, Anaye will definitely marry a so-called "well-off" military family in the future, and her fate will fluctuate with the war.

If you are lucky, you can be a low-level officer in the frontier army. If you are not lucky, you will be gone in one battle.

But on the battlefield, who dares to say that he is invincible and can save the day every time he goes into battle a hundred times?

If she takes this path, Anaye is destined to end up as a widow.

"Understood, I will."

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly and said.

Facing the solemn entrustment of a physically disabled old man, it is a great humiliation to be hypocritical and pretend to be stupid.Only making a clear promise or simply refusing is what a man does.

Seeing that Fang Chongyong had completely understood what he said, Medical Officer Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Wang, please go and wait for me to study whether to add or subtract any medicinal materials to this prescription. I think the prescription is very appropriate, but there are some problems with the preparation." Not big."

Hearing this, Fang Chongyong immediately decided!

As a "health medicine", the effectiveness of the medicine is secondary. Finding ways to neutralize the toxicity of the main medicine is what famous doctors in the past have been striving for. Many people are famous in history because of a good prescription.

For Ji Ge, whether the effect is second or not is the most important competitiveness.

Doctor Li actually understood this truth after listening to a few words. He can only say that... he is indeed a health care doctor who came out of Xin'an Palace!Professionals just know the truth!
Fang Chongyong heard that this King Xin'an is now recuperating in Chang'an, and he can wield a knife and a stick in his 70s.Dr. Li's "daily health care" in the past may have contributed a lot.You must know that Xin'an Wang Li Yi was 60 years old and had been fighting in Hexi for many years. He also fought many battles elsewhere, and he may have suffered a lot of hidden injuries.

If there is no one to take care of it, it is estimated that grass will grow on the grave.

Fang Chongyong knew just from Anaye's skillful massage techniques that this doctor Li had unique skills, and that he was able to gain a foothold in the city of Liangzhou, which is full of talents, is by no means a vain name.

"Then I'll leave everything to you, the matter of the saint... Please do your best, Doctor Li."

Fang Chongyong bowed deeply to Doctor Li and saluted.

……

"Li Bai, you should step back first."

In a side hall of Princess Yuzhen's mansion, Princess Yuzhen, who was wearing a Taoist robe and dressed simply, said to Li Bai beside her.

As a special "Hanlin Bachelor", Li Bai followed Li Longji and blew "rainbow fart" whenever he was called.He has been in the palace for almost a year and has already left many poems describing palace life.This time he came to Princess Yuzhen's mansion with Li Longji.

Li Longji was called to visit his sister, but in fact he had a tryst with Yang Yuhuan. Almost everyone in Chang'an's elite circle knew about the secrets here, but everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb.

After Li Bai retreated, Princess Yuzhen crossed her arms and bowed to the Tang sage Li Longji in front of her with a worried face.

"Why is my sister so polite?"

Li Longji was shocked, and quickly supported his direct sister, Princess Yuzhen.

"Brother, there are many people outside who have a lot of criticism about my brother's removal of ashes. My sister wants to take Yang Yuhuan to the Lingdu Temple in Wangwu Mountain, Jiyuan to practice Taoism. Please help me."

Princess Yuzhen bowed deeply to Li Longji and couldn't afford to kneel.

"Oh! You! There are two of you, why are you forcing me!"

Li Longji sighed, and quickly helped Princess Yuzhen up.

The dark years in the early years of his life were spent with his brothers and sisters, so Li Longji's feelings for his brothers and sisters were far better than those of his sons who could be slaughtered at any time.

Besides, sons will usurp the throne, but brothers and sisters will not. Li Longji's emotional tendencies also have practical considerations.

"Brother, after King Shou got married, I took Yang Yuhuan to become a monk to practice Taoism. This is the consummation of merit and virtue, please complete it, brother."

Princess Yuzhen bows again.

But this time she also annoyed Li Longji.

"In this case, there is no need to mention it again in the future."

Li Longji ignored Princess Yuzhen who was kneeling on the ground and walked away directly!
