Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 123 I’m tired and sick ([-])

The "Mr. Danxi" mentioned by Zhu Gaoxu was Zhu Zhenheng, a famous medical scientist from the Yuan Dynasty and a native of Yiwu, Wuzhou. Because there was a beautiful stream named "Danxi" in his former residence, scholars respected him as "Danxiweng" or "Danxiweng". Mr. Xi".

Zhu Zhenheng's medical skills were superb, and his clinical treatment effect was as good as that of a drumstick. There were many cases of patients recovering immediately after taking the medicine without the need for further consultation. Therefore, people at that time also praised him as "Zhu Yi Tie" and "Zhu Banxian".

Together with Liu Wansu, Zhang Congzheng, and Li Dongyuan, he was listed as the "Four Great Masters of Jin and Yuan Dynasties" and occupied an important position in the history of Chinese medicine.

Dai Sigong, also known as Yuanli, was Zhu Zhenheng's true disciple.

During the Hongwu period, Dai Sigong was recruited by the imperial court as an eighth-grade imperial doctor and awarded the official position of "Digonglang".

Because he was very effective in treating diseases, Zhu Yuanzhang valued him very much and once sent him to cure the paraplegia of Jin King Zhu Fan.

Historically, in May of the 31st year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was ill for a long time and could not be cured. He was angry with the imperial doctor and ordered the arrest of the medical officer. He only comforted Dai Sigong and said: "You are a benevolent and righteous man, don't be afraid." After Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, many Attending doctors to cure crimes, only promoted Dai Sigong to be the envoy of the imperial hospital.

It can be seen from this that Dai Sigong's medical skills are by no means inferior to Zhang Yixian.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was ill, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di used to go to Zhang Yixian because Zhang Yixian knew a lot of inside information, such as Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen's chronic illnesses, and also knew about Zhu Yuanzhang's illness.

Zhu Di was unwilling to use Zhang Yixian because he didn't want the other party to know about his hidden illness, so he replaced the imperial physician with Dai Sigong, the director of the imperial hospital.

Taiyuan Hospital has envoys, judges and officials responsible for management, and the remaining imperial doctors and medical doctors are responsible for specific operations, among which the imperial doctors also assume some management functions.

The hospital envoy, also known as the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, is the highest official of the Taiyuan Hospital. There is one person. The official position ranges from the third grade to the fifth grade, and changes in different periods.

There are two deputy chief officials appointed by the court, but the number of officials is uncertain.

Anyone who can make a court judgment is a member of a very senior medical family.

As for those who are qualified to serve as hospital envoys, they must not only be proficient in medical skills, but also be able to figure out the thoughts of the superiors.

Dai Sigong, now 76 years old, is such a highly observant and highly respected medical master.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard that it was Dai Sigong, whom he had met several times, he asked: "What did the envoy Dai say about my father's condition?"

"Envoy Dai said that I have been ill for nearly ten years and it is unlikely that I will be cured. Since I have three sons and five daughters, I am relieved."

Zhu Di did not feel sad about his hidden illness at all. Instead, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu meaningfully and said, "Envoy Dai suggested that I give your boy some more concubines to expand our family as soon as possible."

Having said this, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu and asked, "You married the princess five months ago. Why haven't you seen any changes in her belly?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, my son has been busy with government affairs in the past few months. He will take time to spend more time with Mr. Li in the future."

"It seems to me that you are sick from exhaustion. I need to find Dai Sigong to take a look at you."

Zhu Di said with a pun: "Go and find the envoy Dai Yuan!"

"My child, please leave." Zhu Gaoxu bowed.

Since Taiyuan Hospital is not in the palace, Zhu Gaoxu had to leave the palace if he wanted to go to Taiyuan Hospital to find the older Dai Sigong.

In normal times, the hospital envoys and judges should lead their affiliated medical officers, each of whom is on duty in groups according to the department they specialize in. The order is changed, and they are waiting for summons at any time, which is called "Shizhi".

Among them, those who are on duty in the palace are called "gongzhi" and are on duty in the imperial pharmacy and various waiting rooms outside the palace.

Those who are on duty in the outer court are called "sixth duty" and are assigned to the outer duty room.

Although the sun was beginning to set at this time, it was July and there was still at least an hour before dark.So, Zhu Gaoxu changed his clothes, called Wei Xian and Zhao Junchen, took a dozen guards, got on the carriage and rushed to the Taiyuan Hospital in two quarters of an hour.

"Meet Your Royal Highness."

After Zhu Gaoxu entered Taiyuan Hospital, many medical officers and doctors on duty quickly came to greet him.

"Exemption."

When Zhu Gaoxu saw that there was no silver-haired Dai Sigong among the crowd, he asked, "Is Ambassador Dai here?"

An imperial doctor who was nearly fifty years old replied respectfully: "Prince, the hospital envoy often lives in the backyard after retiring due to his old age. However, after he retired today, he was invited to the academy by Dr. Mei from Jinling Academy." Gone to teach."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked sideways at Zhao Junchen next to him and ordered: "According to my instructions, go and bring back Ambassador Dai personally."

After Zhao Junchen took the order and left, he turned back, looked at the imperial doctor who had spoken just now and said, "Who are you?"

The imperial doctor with a few strands of silver hair in his temples replied respectfully: "I am Jiang Yongwen, the real person of Yi in Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture. Two years ago, I was elected as the imperial physician by the emperor after being recommended by the envoy Dai Yuan."

After hearing what Jiang Yongwen said, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but take a high look at him, and immediately ordered: "Lead the way, I will go to Dai Yuanshi's residence to have a look."

"Yes." Jiang Yongwen said respectfully.

The backyard of Taiyuan Hospital is a general term. In fact, except for the first courtyard that is entered, it is considered the front yard, and the second and third courtyards that are behind it are considered to be the backyard.

Its vast area far exceeded the area of ​​an ordinary county hospital in later generations.

Strictly speaking, Taiyuan Hospital is not a large-scale comprehensive clinic dedicated to treating the royal family, but a medical institution with its own system involving medical administration.

In addition to being responsible for reserving doctors, the Taiyuan Hospital also reserves medicinal materials. It has three subordinate organizations, namely the "Crude Medicine Library" which is responsible for storing and managing medicinal materials, the "Taiyi Bureau Cooked Medicine Institute" which is open to the public and is a sales place for finished cooked medicines. The "Royal Pharmacy" for medical medication.

In addition, the hospital also has a teaching hall, where imperial doctors and officials with excellent academic performance are selected to teach, and both junior doctors and medical officers' children are sent to study.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu followed Jiang Yongwen for a long time, twisting and turning, before arriving at Dai Sigong's residence.

"You take people to guard here, and I'll go in and take a look."

Zhu Gaoxu ordered Wei Xian.

Then, he stepped forward and pushed open the door of the side room where Dai Sigong lived, and stepped in.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Gaoxu smelled a hint of medicinal smell with a burnt aroma.

The layout of this side room is relatively simple. When you enter the main hall, you will see the living room with two sets of chairs facing each other. On the wall in front of the hall hangs an ink painting of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, taking pills for a tiger. On the right and left of the painting are a couplet. Upper and lower lines.

On the left side facing the hall is a library separated by bookshelves as partitions, and on the right side is a clean and simple bedroom.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the library and flipped through a few books aimlessly. Then he walked alone to the chair in the hall and sat down, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Nearly two-quarters of an hour later, Wei Xian's loud voice rang in his ears.

"Envoy Dai Yuan, His Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you for something. He has been waiting for a long time."
