The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 14 Life is full of myths

Chen Jingke was not surprised at all when he received Zhu Yuanzhang's summons, but he did not feel happy either. On the contrary, he felt very complicated inside.

This journey will lead to a one-way road with no way to retreat. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and be shattered into pieces.

The greatest danger did not come from political opponents, but from Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

There was a saying circulated on the Internet in the past life that the official dogs of the Hongwu Dynasty did not do anything. This statement can be said to have said everything.

But he knew better that he had no choice.

From the day he unveiled the Emperor's List, there was no other way to go.

Chen Yuan and Feng didn't know this. They were very happy to see their son summoned by the emperor again.

Guangzong Yaozu.

Du Tongli and others were also very happy. They had been friendly to the Chen family before, and they had formed a friendship, which might be useful one day.

Chen Jingke didn't waste much time. After tidying up a little, he followed the chamberlain into the palace.

"I've met your majesty, I've met your empress, I've met my great-grandson."

"Exemption."

After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Xiongying said impatiently before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything:
"Mr. Chen, thank you for saving me."

Chen Jingke quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. This is what ordinary people should do. And my purpose of saving you is not simple, so I really don't dare to thank you so much."

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what happened, but he still said seriously: "You saved me no matter what, how can I forget the grace of saving my life."

Chen Jingke wanted to say something else, but Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently:

"Okay, just accept the thanks from our dear grandson. If you are really serious, just contribute more to the court in the future."

"Yes, follow His Majesty's will."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I called you here to see the queen..."

He told Ma Xiuying about her leg cramps: "Do you have any idea?"

Chen Jingke asked carefully about the details of the cramp before saying:

"Doctors say that there are various qi in the human body to maintain life. If the qi is harmonious, the body will be healthy. If the qi is imbalanced, various diseases will occur."

"The cramps in your legs and feet are caused by a lack of Qi called 'calcium'."

“The lack of this Qi can lead to muscle spasms, skeletal pain, twitching of hands and feet, etc. It can also cause bones to be brittle and easily broken.”

"If young children lack this energy, they will suffer from short stature, rickets and other symptoms, which may be life-threatening in severe cases."

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and asked: "Is it possible to replenish this energy?"

Ma Xiuying also looked at him anxiously.

Chen Jingke nodded and said confidently: "It can be supplemented. If other qi are missing, I may not be able to, but I happen to know how to supplement calcium."

Ma Xiuying was overjoyed. This new life did not disappoint me.

Zhu Xiongying also said happily: "I knew Mr. Chen would have a way."

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more delighted and urged: "Then what are you waiting for? Prescribe the medicine quickly."

Chen Jingke wrote down the prescription and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang: "This is a tonic that can be taken all year round. Your Majesty and your grandson can also take it."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the prescription and looked at it, and his brows immediately wrinkled: "Young man, don't lie to us. What kind of calcium can this vinegar and egg shells supplement?"

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying took the prescription and looked at it with doubts.

You are so high-minded, but the tonic turns out to be vinegar plus egg shells?

Chen Jingke smiled slightly and explained: "Everything in the world is composed of qi. It is not surprising that egg shells contain calcium."

"It's just that the calcium in the eggshell is condensed together and cannot be absorbed by the human body. You need to use something else first to draw out the calcium."

"Vinegar is frozen in an ice cellar, and the ice crystals condensed are the essence of vinegar, and the vinegar essence can draw out the calcium from the egg shell."

"Just taking this medicine will not fully exert its effect. People taking the medicine need to eat more animal livers." "You need to be exposed to the sun for half an hour every day, and you can fully absorb it with the help of the power of the sun."

"This method was created by ancient alchemists. It has always been regarded as a secret method and has never been revealed to others. I also accidentally obtained it from ancient books."

It was the essence of vinegar, the power of the sun, and the ancient alchemist. Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying didn't know how powerful it was.

I don't dare to underestimate this medicine anymore.

Zhu Xiongying was even more excited. Dr. Chen was indeed very powerful. He knew all these secret techniques.

Chen Jingke was speechless. As expected, without learning mathematics, physics and chemistry, life would be nothing but myths.

It’s just a simple calcium acetate, the most common calcium supplement drug in the past life.

The purpose of basking in the sun is to synthesize vitamin D and help absorb calcium. The same principle applies to eating animal liver.

But if he really explained it like this, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be suspicious.Now that they were wearing the alchemist's skin, they were convinced.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not believe Chen Jingke's words, and later went to Tai Hospital with the prescription.

Needless to say, the result was that a group of imperial doctors were confused.I understood every sentence, but together I had no idea what they were talking about.

They know that eating animal livers can cure diseases, and it is not uncommon for doctors to cure diseases by basking in the sun.

But vinegar essence and egg shell calcium supplement are simply unheard of.

However, when they learned that Chen Jingke had entered the palace and took over the treatment of the queen, all the imperial doctors were overjoyed and finally got rid of this burden.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that so many imperial doctors could not understand, but he was not angry, but felt a little more confident.

How can anyone understand the secret method of replenishing qi?

Chen Jingke examined Ma Xiuying again, carefully asked about her physical changes before and after taking the medicine, and then prescribed a new medicine.

In addition, she was also asked to try donkey hide gelatin.

Donkey-hide gelatin was highly controversial in previous lives. Some people thought it was an IQ tax, while others regarded it as a miracle drug.

Chen Jingke is a doctor himself, so he is not that extreme.This medicine does have certain uses, but it is far from as magical as those people boast.

It is a tonic, and for healthy people, it is an IQ tax.

But it still has a certain effect on the elderly with serious nutritional losses.

In his previous life, he often prescribed this kind of medicine and bought that kind of solid donkey-hide gelatin for only 500 yuan a month.

Of course, if the patient still has no effect after taking it for a month, it means it is not symptomatic and the drug will not be prescribed again in the future.

To put it bluntly, recuperation means constantly trying various mild tonics until the body is well nursed back to health.

There is no panacea in the world, let alone the so-called magic medicine. The best way is to see a doctor when you are sick.

Afterwards, he checked Zhu Xiongying's body again and said, "My grandson has just recovered from a serious illness. His body is still relatively weak, so he should not be too tired."

"But don't lie down all the time. Walk around outside more, which is helpful for recovery."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't you need to take medicine?"

Chen Jingke shook his head: "It's the medicine that's poisonous. My grandson is growing up, so it's best not to use medicine if possible."

"Food supplements are the best way for him. Eat more good ones, which are more effective than drugs."

Zhu Xiongying was also very happy, not because his illness was cured, but because he no longer needed to take medicine.

That stuff is extremely painful and unpalatable.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very satisfied and suddenly felt that it was right to summon Chen Jingke into the palace.

But this is not enough, he must be kept in the palace.But if you want him to stay in the palace, you must have a name.

Thinking of this, he said: "You are very good. How about I make you the Royal Physician of the Taiyuan Hospital, with an official rank of [-]th grade, specializing in treating the Queen and the Grandson?"
