Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 178 Miracle Doctor Zhang Zhongjing (please subscribe)
Huang Zhong’s son?
Anyone familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that the veteran Huang Zhong had no heirs until his death in his seventies, and the old man was alone.

However, the information Liu Ming had in his previous life revealed that Huang Zhong once had a son, but he died young due to illness, and Huang Zhong never gave birth to another child.

"Huang Xu?" Liu Ming pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Huang Zhong is very brave and brave. If he can treat his family well, it may help him abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side." Xi Zhicai suggested.

All the civil servants and generals present had experience of Huang Zhong's bravery. He had fought against Lu Bu and Zhang Fei. He was proficient in swordsmanship and unique in his archery skills. If he could recruit him, he would be of help in pacifying Jingzhou.

From Liu Ming's perspective, we know more about Huang Zhong. One of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty in the novel can still fight in battle at the age of seventy, which is rare in ancient times.

Huang Zhong is now in his prime, and should be at the peak of his military power. It would be a pity if such a good general cannot be recovered. If he follows Sun Jian wholeheartedly in rebellion, then that's it. Now that his son is in Nanyang, then he will always have to Give it a try.

Liu Ming nodded and said: "I implement benevolent policies and have the virtue of living well, so how can I ignore death and not save him? Is there a good doctor in Nanyang?"

"There is a miracle doctor in Niyang County, named Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing." Kuai Liang said, "His medical skills are extremely good. He was just promoted as Xiaolian last year, but he does not want to be an official. He travels around to practice medicine, but I don't know if he will come back now."

"Zhang Zhongjing?" Liu Ming was shocked. This man's reputation was really great. His achievements in typhoid fever can be said to have benefited people for thousands of years, and he was revered as a medical saint by later generations. He didn't expect that he was now in the hometown of a medical saint, so I suddenly became interested.

"How old is this miracle doctor now?" Liu Ming asked curiously.

"More than forty years old." Kuai Liang replied.

Liu Ming chuckled lightly and couldn't help but secretly complain about the inspection system of this era. In this era, there is an age limit for promoting filial piety and integrity, and one must be over forty years old.

In this era, people's life expectancy is generally not long, and they cannot serve the court in their prime years. It is really a waste of talents and is seriously detrimental to the rejuvenation of the official team.

Of course, it may be a good thing for Zhang Zhongjing. He has been obsessed with medicine over the years, practicing medicine and saving people. Not only has he accumulated fame for himself, he has saved many patients from their illnesses, but it has also laid the foundation for his lofty status in the history of medicine in the future.

From the perspective of Liu Ming, the ruler, it is imperative to reform the imperial examination system. Improving the imperial examination is equivalent to handing over the pipeline of talents to wealthy families, and it is impossible to serve the country at the best age.

He had already made preliminary plans in his mind to implement the imperial examination system after the country was initially settled. Although he could expect to encounter resistance, he had to implement it in order to stabilize the country.

"Tomorrow, we will send someone to Nieyang County to check and see if Dr. Zhang has returned." Liu Ming ordered.

"According to the order." Kuai Liang agreed, then turned around and said to an official beside him, "Zhengfang, tomorrow you will go to Niyang in person to see if Divine Doctor Zhang is here."

"I understand." The official known as Zhengfang agreed.

Right? Liu Ming suddenly felt that this title was very familiar, so he asked: "This is..."

"This is Li Yan and Li Zhengfang, an official of the Nanyang Prefecture." Kuai Liang introduced, "Zhengfang is quite talented, but he is still young and has no formal honors or official positions. Zhengfang, I have never seen him before. His Majesty."

Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, saying: "Li Yan, a common man, pays homage to Your Majesty."

Li Yan? !
Liu Ming carefully measured the person who was kneeling. He was indeed a young man, with a dignified appearance, less than twenty years old, and he looked very capable.

Li Yan, in the novel, was a talented person with both civil and military skills. He was Liu Bei's lone and important minister. His abilities were not to mention, and according to Ji Liang, he was quite talented. For such a young talent to be buried in the governor's house running errands and doing odd jobs, it was indeed Some of them have lost their talents. If they are well cultivated, they may become the pillars of the country in the future.

"Very good. After Zhang Zhongjing treats Huang Xu, you bring him to me. I want to meet this miracle doctor." Liu Ming said.

"I obey." Li Yan agreed.

"Stand back." Liu Ming waved his hand.

Li Yan saluted again and retreated behind Kuai Liang.

There was nothing to say all night. On the morning of the next day, Liu Ming was listening to Kuai Liang's introduction to the situation in Nanyang and the entire Jingzhou.

Although he collected a lot of information about this era in his previous life, most of it was rough and even inaccurate. Since he was going to march into the entire Jingzhou next, it was necessary to understand the situation here in detail.

The local Kuai Liang is undoubtedly the best person to communicate with.

When Kuai Liang saw the opportunity to show off his talents to His Majesty, he naturally spared no effort in describing everything the Emperor wanted to know.

However, there was also a hint of worry in his words. The Kuai family's properties are spread all over Jingzhou. I hope that the imperial army can pursue Sun Jian as soon as possible and completely eliminate this force from Jingzhou, lest the other party knows that Kuai Liang has defected to the imperial court and will attack the Kuai family. The clan takes revenge.

At this moment, a scout came to report that Sun Jian had spent the night in Xinye County last night.

Xinye, isn’t that the place where Liu Bei made his fortune in history? But for Liu Ming now, it is just an inconspicuous small county town and does not need to be taken seriously at all.

"Your Majesty, please send the Heavenly Army to hunt down Sun Wentai as soon as possible." Kuai Liang suggested.

Liu Ming looked at Xi Zhicai next to him. Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "What Prefect Zirou said is absolutely true."

"Send Gao Shun, Xu Chu, and Zhou Cang to meet me." Liu Ming gave the order, and the flag officer immediately went out to deliver the order.

During this gap, Li Yan walked in and said, "Your Majesty is so blessed. Doctor Zhang just came home yesterday, and the common people have asked him to diagnose and treat Huang Xu."

"Oh, can Huang Xu's disease be cured?" Liu Ming asked.

Li Yan reported back: "Doctor Zhang said it can be cured, but it will take about half a year of conditioning to recover."

Liu Ming nodded. If Zhang Zhongjing could cure Huang Xu's disease, he could still use this to recruit Huang Zhong.

At this time, Gao Shun, Xu Chu, and Zhou Cang walked in, all equipped with armor, and they all saluted Liu Ming.

"I found out that Sun Jian stayed in Xinye last night. I sent the three of you to lead 5,000 troops to Xinye to capture Sun Jian." Liu Ming ordered, "Sun Jian has become a lost dog. You can keep chasing him unless he escapes to the other side of the Han River. , otherwise you can act cheaply.”

"Yes!" The three of them were overjoyed and all accepted the order.

"I will send you another guide." Liu Ming said with a smile, "Although Li Yan is not a scholar or martial artist, he is quite talented and famous, and he is a local from Nanyang. It is most suitable for him to be your guide. "

When Li Yan heard that the emperor assigned him another task, he was immediately overjoyed. Although he was just a guide, it was a task given by His Majesty the Emperor, and its nature was different. He hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. The grassroots people are willing to do their best to suppress the rebellion.”

"Prefect Zirou praises you for your talent." Liu Mingdao, "I believe that real gold needs to be tempered by fire, and talented people also need to train in many ways. You can learn to improve your talents while being a guide. If If you have real talent and knowledge, I will use it in an unusual way. ""Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Li Yan saluted again and then left happily with the generals.

Kuai Liang looked at Li Yan's back with an envious expression. This young man's opportunities were really great. He didn't know why His Majesty thought so highly of him just after meeting him for the first time. Was it just because he praised him so much? Known for his talent?

But this is fine. In the future, if Li Yanruo really becomes famous, he will still have to thank me, Kuai Liang, for my support.

"Let Doctor Zhang come in," Liu Ming said.

Soon a dusty middle-aged man walked in. He was in his forties, with a weathered face but a rosy complexion. He was carrying a medicine box behind him. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Zhang Zhongjing, a common man, pays homage to your majesty."

Liu Ming stood up, helped him up with his own hands, and said, "Please get up, the miracle doctor."

Kuai Liang felt a little strange when he saw Liu Ming's behavior. Although Zhang Zhongjing was hailed as a miracle doctor by the people, he was only a doctor after all, and his social status was not high. He was incomparable with those celebrities who were famous in the field. He didn't expect that His Majesty would actually do it in person. Get up and help each other.

He also had to stand up.

Zhang Zhongjing was also flattered. He traveled around practicing medicine. Although he was grateful from many people, he also suffered a lot of criticism, including various difficulties from the government. Therefore, even though he had been promoted as filial and honest, he was unwilling to become an official and chose to continue practicing medicine. Save people.

Because he is disappointed with the current bureaucracy and does not want to jump into this disappointing dye vat, and as far as he understands, the source of pollution in this dye vat is the court, the palace, and the emperor.

The emperor summoned him today. Although he didn't dare not come, he was also very reluctant.

He never expected that His Majesty would leave the table and help him up with his own hands.

"Thank you for your hard work, the miracle doctor." Liu Ming said with a smile, "Hurry and pour some tea for the miracle doctor."

Immediately, a servant came forward to set the tea table and pour a cup of tea. Liu Ming motioned for Zhang Zhongjing to take a seat and said, "Miracle doctor, please take a seat."

Zhang Zhongjing was at a loss. He felt that he was neither standing nor sitting. He had nowhere to put his hands. His face was full of panic. In the end, he only squeezed out a few words: "Your Majesty, sit down first."

Liu Ming smiled and sat down. After Xi Zhicai and Kuai Liang took their seats, Zhang Zhongjing put the medicine box aside and took his seat carefully, but his body was straight and he did not dare to sit down.

With Liu Ming's current status, it is quite easy to recruit someone. He only needs a look or an action to complete it. However, his search for Zhang Zhongjing is not just about making friends with this miracle doctor so that he can see a doctor.

He knew that there were many celebrities in this period who died young, which was directly related to the underdevelopment of medicine in this period. Although there were miracle doctors, there were too few miracle doctors and they could not provide such rich medical resources.

For example, Xi Zhicai around me is one of the representatives who died young.

He wanted the humble profession of being a doctor to flourish and become a respected profession.

"May I ask the miracle doctor, how is Huang Xu's condition?" Liu Ming asked.

When Zhang Zhongjing saw the emperor asking him, he hurriedly stood up to answer.

Liu Ming smiled and pressed down with his hand, and said: "The miracle doctor doesn't have to be formal, just sit down and talk."

Zhang Zhongjing looked at Kuai Liang again, and Kuai Liang smiled and said: "Your Majesty asks you to sit down, just sit down and answer the question."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for asking." Zhang Zhongjing then knelt down again and said, "The condition is very serious, but after the grass people applied the medicine, there is no serious problem. It only takes about half a year to recover completely."

"What kind of disease requires half a year of treatment?" Liu Ming couldn't help but ask.

"The grassroots asked the patient in detail and found that this was the root cause of the disease since he was a child." Zhang Zhongjing said, "Huang Zhong only had one son, and his family was more marginalized in the Huang family. He wanted his son to get ahead, so he forced him to practice martial arts since he was a child. It's just that Huang Xu's bones have been weak since he was a child, and he couldn't bear the high-intensity physical exercise, so he got sick frequently and had poor immunity. He was infected with wind and cold some time ago, so he was bedridden and even in danger of his life. "

"Is it wind cold or typhoid fever?" Liu Ming suddenly asked. He knew that Zhang Zhongjing's main medical accomplishment was typhoid fever. He accumulated all his knowledge in his life and later wrote "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", which is an important guide for the treatment of typhoid fever and can be said to be a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine.

The injury is somewhat contagious and can be easily cured in later generations, but in this era it is serious and can easily kill someone.

Zhang Zhongjing was startled and said in surprise: "Your Majesty also knows about typhoid fever?"

Liu Ming smiled and said nothing, because it would be easy to reveal the truth if he spoke too much.

Zhang Zhongjing pondered for a while, then finally made up his mind and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that it is indeed typhoid fever. Because it is contagious to a certain extent, the common people dare not speak out."

Kuai Liang became nervous when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said: "Bold Zhang Ji, what are your intentions in coming to see your majesty just after you have been exposed to typhoid patients! Your majesty, please take Zhang Ji down and torture him to see if he is a traitor to Sun Jian." The assassin sent!"

Zhang Zhongjing was so frightened that he immediately stood up and knelt on the ground, saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The common people came here on orders and do not dare to show any disrespect. Please tell me clearly!"

Liu Ming smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't panic. Since Dr. Zhang can cure typhoid fever, what else do I have to fear? Besides, I brought you here, so how could you be an assassin? Don't make a fuss, Zirou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhongjing wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat back carefully. Kuai Liang covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and stared at Zhang Zhongjing warily.

"There are also doctors with excellent medical skills in the palace, but they are still unable to cure typhoid fever." Liu Ming continued, "It can be seen that Mr. Zhongjing's medical skills have surpassed that of my doctors."

Liu Ming praised him first to reassure him, and then continued: "There are many people in the world who want to ask for doctors, but it is a pity that there are not so many people with medical skills like Mr. Zhongjing. I often worry about it day and night, and I don't know how to do it. Just now When I saw Mr. Zhongjing, I suddenly had the idea to open a hospital funded by the imperial court. "

"Caomin have only heard of academies, what is a hospital?" Zhang Zhongjing asked puzzledly.

Xi Zhicai and Kuai Liang also looked over. They didn't know what the hospital was.

"It's similar to an academy." Liu Ming explained, "Mr. Zhongjing is the dean. He can recruit many disciples, and at the same time, he doesn't delay in treating patients and saving people. Isn't it wonderful?"

Zhang Zhongjing suddenly became excited after thinking about it. Among their usual practices, they also included recruiting disciples. However, after several years of investigation, they slowly taught the true teachings, and finally they inherited the mantle. Such inheritance is too slow and the scope is too large. narrow.

If, like the academy, you accept apprentices, and the apprentices continue to accept apprentices, wouldn't your disciples and disciples be spread all over the world?

"In the future, there will be many doctors in the world, all of whom will be born under your name. Their names will go down in history and their fame will last forever." Liu Ming encouraged, "The most important thing is that my disciples will be spread all over the world, and the people of the world will benefit from it. Their merits are comparable to those of the ancient sages!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhongjing fell to the ground and burst into tears.
