Song Yi

Chapter 233 Sanqi Stewed Old Hen

Chu Chang, the Imperial Physician of War Trauma Department, said happily:

"Qibaosan! I know that this is a gold-chuang medicine! It is a hundred times stronger than any previous gold-chuang medicine. On the Xixia battlefield, our wounded soldiers used this Qibaosan. Lives have been saved, this Qibao powder has saved many lives!"

The rest of the imperial physicians didn’t know much about Qibaosan. Panax notoginseng hadn’t realized its medicinal value in the Song Dynasty, so the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital didn’t know about it. But Chu Shang, as the imperial physician of the War Wound Department, of course knew, listen to his praise Without stopping, all the imperial physicians also looked sideways.

The money is not accepted and he said: "My master's Panax notoginseng is really a good medicine to stop bleeding, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling, stop bleeding and relieve pain, and has done amazing things repeatedly!"

Envoy Zheng moved his face and said: "So that's the case, please ask Mr. Du to point out these Sanqi folk prescriptions."

In the imperial hospital, Du Wenhao and Qian Bushou had the purple goldfish bag bestowed by the emperor, and Qian Bushou used loess soup to cure the terminal illness of the Ninth Prince, which was highly valued by the emperor. Naturally, no one dared to object to what he said.

Now even Zheng Gu, the chief dean of Taitai Hospital, has said so, and of course no one else has said anything. They all looked at Du Wenhao and waited quietly for his next words.

Du Wenhao said: "Panax notoginseng is my unique blind medicine. My prescription is to use Sanqisanqian. After smashing it, add an appropriate amount of salt to a three-jin old hen, add water to steam and stew for an hour, and drink the soup. Just eat meat."

"Sanqi plus old hen?" Envoy Zheng and the others looked at each other, wondering if such a simple prescription could cure the empress's illness?
Du Wenhao said: "Sanqi nourishes qi and nourishes blood, promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis and relieves pain. Hen can nourish qi and nourish blood, which is very effective in treating metrorrhagia. However, many good medicines that the empress dowager took did not work, so my prescription I’m afraid it’s only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Use it first to stop the bleeding, and then find out the reason why the metrorrhagia medicine doesn’t work. What do you guys think?”

Except for the money not accepted and approving, all the imperial physicians looked at the envoy Zheng Gu.Wait for his instructions.

Zheng Gu pondered for a moment, since Chu Chang, the imperial physician of the Department of War Traumatology, has said that the Jinchuang medicine made of Panax notoginseng is effective in treating blood disorders, which means that Panax notoginseng has medicinal value in clinical practice, and the old hen is even more There is nothing to say, just use Panax notoginseng and old hen, although it is a folk recipe, it should not be a big problem.

Anyway, Du Wenhao is serving the doctor in the harem, he made up his mind, everyone is just helping to figure out a solution, everyone has credit for the cure, and there will be no big trouble if it is not cured, after all, this medicine has been practiced and applied by Qibaosan Yes, take ten thousand steps back, even if something goes wrong, the main responsibility is on Du Wenhao's shoulders, so Zheng Gu gritted his teeth, decided to take a risk, and said with a smile:

"Okay, Master Du's prescription is simple, but it's unknown if the folk remedies have miraculous effects in treating serious illnesses. Even if you don't know the root of the symptoms, if you can treat the symptoms, it will be a miraculous achievement."

Now that Zheng Gu has said so, who else would dare to object, they all echoed and nodded in agreement.

Du Wenhao said: "That's good, ask the attendant from the Royal Medicine Academy to accompany me back, bring the Sanqi powder, stew the old hen and give it to the empress. After the metrorrhagia stops, I will carefully consider how to cure the root cause."

The Imperial Medicine Institute is a specialized institution in the imperial palace that is responsible for the procurement, processing and storage of prohibited Chinese medicines, and has a number of servants.

After the Tai Hospital is below, it must be sent to the Royal Pharmacy Institute for preparation.

Du Wenhao sent someone to call two servants from the Royal Medicine Academy, and followed him back to the Wuweitang to get the medicine.

Du Wenhao is now a sixth-rank official of the imperial court and has his own official sedan chair, so he no longer needs to ride a donkey.

Sitting in the official sedan chair, I flickered back to Wuweitang.

In order to keep the trade secret, the Sanqi was ground into powder, took a bag, and handed it to two servants of the Imperial Medicine Academy, who carefully put the medicine into the medicine box, and went back in a sedan chair.

There are many patients in Wuweitang, and there are many patients that Yan Miaoshou and Hantou can't handle, waiting for Du Wenhao to deal with.

Of course, Du Wenhao was not only busy with affairs in the palace, he still had to take care of the affairs of his own pharmacy, so he would not go to the Imperial Medical Bureau in the afternoon, but sat in the pharmacy for consultation.

While Du Wenhao was busy in the back hall, a patient in the front hall had an argument with Yan Miaoshou.

This man is tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, a head taller than Yan Miaoshou, he has to bend slightly when entering the door, his arms are very long, a bit like a gibbon.

The man was sitting near the door, leaning his head on the pillar beside the door, covering his abdomen with his hands, frowning, waiting in line to get a number to see a doctor.

There were a lot of people that day, and the front hall was very noisy. Finally, when it was the bamboo pole's turn to watch, he was a little exhausted and was on the verge of falling.The guy in charge of taking care of him hastily stepped forward to help him over, and sat down at Yan Miaoshou's desk.

Yan Miaoshou saw that the figure was long and thin.His face was pale and looked very haggard, and he raised his face and asked:
"Brother Tai's complexion is not good, where is it uncomfortable?"

"Ugh……!"

Zhugan let out a long sigh first, then pointed to his abdomen and said weakly:

"The pain from the heart to the lower abdomen is severe. It hurts for a while and then stops. I can't bear the pain. I heard that Dr. Du in your hall is skilled in medicine. Could you please show me? The consultation fee is not The question is, as long as Dr. Du can cure me of this disease, I will have more silver rewards!"

After that, he took out two ingots of silver from his bosom, a total of 20 taels, and put them in front of Yan Miao's hands.

Yan Miao glanced at the silver, smiled faintly, and pointed to the notice board on the wall:
"Brother, you underestimate our Wuweitang. You can't let my master see a doctor with a lot of money. Even if you are penniless and find our Wuweitang, we will definitely not sit idly by. You can ask Inquiry, my grandparents donated money to treat diseases, but if you want to spend money on treating minor illnesses, you can't."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else." The bamboo pole was a little embarrassed, pulled the silver back, put it in his arms, cupped his hands and said: "My illness is really weird, and I guess others can't cure it, so I beg your respected master to come out and help Let me see, okay?"

"I'm really sorry, brother. Because there are too many patients, they all want to see my master. Many diseases are not serious problems. In this way, the patients who really need my master's careful diagnosis and treatment are delayed, and the master is now It's already been judged by the imperial hospital, and the affairs in the palace are also very busy, so there is really nothing more to do.

Therefore, a rule has been set, except for critical and urgent diseases, all other diseases must first be diagnosed and treated by our front hall. "

"My disease..., to be honest, you really can't cure my disease!"

"Isn't it just a stomachache, what can't be cured!" Yan Miao opened the folding fan with a clatter, turned to Hantou and said, "Junior Brother, tell this brother what is going on with this abdominal pain!"

"Yes!" Hantou came over, coughed lightly, shook his head and said:
"The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine says: 'When the age is too old, rain and dampness prevail, kidney water is affected by evil, and people suffer from abdominal pain.'

"Lingshu. Five Evils" says: "The evils are in the spleen and stomach, if Yang Qi is insufficient, and Yin Qi is excessive, it will cause borborygmi and abdominal pain in the cold." '

"Su Wen. Ju Pain Theory" also says: "The cold air is between the intestines and stomach, under the original membrane, the blood cannot be scattered, and the small collaterals cause urgency, so it hurts."The hot air stays in the small intestine, causing pain in the intestine, and the heat and thirst will cause the hard and dry air to come out, so the pain will block the passage. '

"On the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases" Fu Yun: "Anyone with acute pain in the abdomen, there is a disease here."Due to the deficiency of the viscera, the cold qi stays between the intestinal and gastric membranes, gathers and persists, and the righteous qi and evil qi compete with each other, causing pain.

"Nei Jing" even said: "...'"

Zhugan stared at Hantou with wide eyes, and was dizzy when he heard him drop the medical bag. He was happy to see him chanting, but he couldn't finish it for a while, so he stammered and interrupted:
"Okay, this... I don't understand what you're saying, but my stomachache... you really can't cure it!"

Yan Miao closed the folding fan with a clatter, and smiled faintly:
"Brother, I'm not waiting to show off, but since you don't believe in our medical skills, I can talk about the principles of treating abdominal pain and let you hear whether I can cure abdominal pain. ——The disease of abdominal pain, the pain on the navel belongs to the Taiyin spleen, Pain in the left and right sides of the lower abdomen belongs to Jueyin liver, and pain in the center of the umbilical abdomen belongs to Shaoyin Chongren. The causes include qi stagnation, blood stasis, cold, irritation, deficiency, excess, insects, food, etc..."

"Well said!" Zhugan's eyes lit up, he stroked his palms and said, "My pain is because of the bugs!"

Yan Miao sized him up and down: "Bug? Hehe, brother, this year is Guigeng?"

"Thirty to five!"

"Hey, there are worms in the stomach, usually children. Yan has been practicing medicine for so many years, and he has never heard of a 35-year-old man who needs to be wormed."

"I didn't lie to you, it's really a bug..."

"Okay, what is the cause of your abdominal pain can only be determined by the doctor. If you are sure, you can just prescribe medicine to kill insects. Why come to Wuweitang to see a doctor? So, if you can trust me , Du will give you a medical examination, if you don’t believe me, brother can go back to get medicine to kill insects, or ask someone else to be wise. How about it?”

Zhu Gan smiled wryly and shook his head: "Okay, if that's the case, please ask the doctor to treat me."

After that, put your hand on the pulse pillow.

Yan Miao checked the pulse with a bowl in her hand, looked behind her tongue, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be nervous, it's just that your Qi is not smooth, and you can cure it with the prescription of accumulating Qi."

After all, he wrote the prescription with a pen and handed it over to the cabinet to pick the medicine.

The man kept sighing, listlessly carrying the medicine prescribed by Yan Miao, shaking his head and walking away.

Du Wenhao finished examining and prescribing the prescriptions for those patients who could not be handled by the front hall. He heard Lin Qingdai in the back hall ordering the servants to pack the car. He was a little curious, and went into the back hall and asked:

"Sister Qingdai, where are you going?"

"Guo Zhuang buys medicine, and some medicines are almost used up."

Guozhuang in the west of the city is the distribution center of medicinal materials in Kaifeng. Many people here are engaged in the business of medicinal materials, and many people also practice medicine, and they are well-known far and near.

Du Wenhao said: "It's just right, I've always wanted to go to see that Guozhuang, but there is always no time, it's rare that I'm free today, so I'll go with you."

Lin Qingdai blushed slightly, glanced at him, and nodded in agreement.
