Song Yi

Chapter 307
Du Wenhao was very surprised. When he saw Hui'er a few days ago, he was still worried, but now he became cheerful and lively.Seeing Hui'er walking out of the door with a slight limp in her legs and feet, Du Wenhao said: "Your legs look much better, you should walk more slowly, it happens that the weather is always rainy these two days, so your feet must not catch cold. "

"Okay, Master Du." Hui'er glanced at Du Wenhao, and hearing his words of concern, she couldn't help but blushed slightly, and turned away slightly.

Sima Guang was in better spirits, and walked a few steps in the room with difficulty. He was a little out of breath. With the support of his son, he returned to the stool in front of the bed and sat down slowly. This was Xue Feier's nurse's request. Activity.

After Du Wenhao checked Sima Guang's pulse with his wrist, he said with a smile, "Master Sima recovered very quickly, without any worrying complications. This is due to the fact that Master Sima has always been in good health, rarely gets sick, and is full of righteousness."

Sima Guang was a little proud, stroked his beard and said, "Hehe, thanks to brother Du's ingenious hand rejuvenation, this makes the old dead tree sprout."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Du Wenhao said again: "My lord's disease cannot be completely cured by a single operation. Afterwards, I need to take medicine strictly according to the doctor's orders. There is a medicine produced in Tubo called Cordyceps sinensis. It is very helpful for my illness, but this medicine was not sold in Song Dynasty, so I have already reported it to the emperor, drew a picture, and planned to send people to the border of Tubo to buy it. If possible, I will send people to Tubo to buy it.”

After hearing this, Sima Guang couldn't help but burst into tears, struggled and knelt down, facing the direction of the palace, kowtowed in tears: "The emperor's kindness to this old minister has really broken the old minister to pieces, and there is no way to repay it..."

His son Sima Yong and daughter Hui'er also knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and then helped his father up.

Sima Guang wiped away his tears, cupped his hands to Du Wenhao and said, "Thank you brother Du for your dedication to diagnosing the old man, and the kindness of rebuilding, I will always engrave it in my heart!"

Du Wenhao smiled: "Your Excellency, you are being polite. Speaking of which, I really have something to ask for in a lowly position. Please give me your advice."

Sima Guang laughed: "Brother, if you think highly of me, brother, don't see others like that in the future. You can call me an adult and a villain, but call me brother. How about we forget the year?"

"I dare not take it seriously." Du Wenhao smiled and cupped his hands.

"What do you dare to do? You saved the old man's life and tried every means to find a good medicine for the old man. The old man is very grateful. Moreover, the old man has long heard that Brother Du has a kind heart and treats every patient with love. No matter rich or poor, high or low, the old man has always admired such a benevolent doctor who can help the world. If you think highly of this old man, you can call him an old brother;

Du Wenhao laughed, stood up and slammed on the ground: "Since that's the case, I'd rather be respectful than obedient, Brother Sima!"

"Hahaha, that's right, brother Du has a question, but it's okay to say, brother will definitely say everything he knows, and he can say everything!"

"Well, it's like this, the emperor has ordered to suspend the implementation of most of the reforms..."

"What? What did you say?" Sima Guang was surprised and delighted, stood up abruptly, pulled his abdominal wound, and let out a cry, Hui'er hurried forward to help him sit down slowly.Sima couldn't care less about the wound, and asked anxiously, "Is what my brother said true?"

"Hehe, I don't dare to make fun of this kind of thing, little brother."

"Haha, hahaha..." Sima Guang covered his stomach and looked up to the sky with a long smile, old tears filled his eyes again. "The emperor's sage! The emperor's sage...! Hahaha"

Hui'er was also very happy for her father, she glanced at Du Wenhao, and whispered to Sima Guang: "Father, don't be too happy, Mr. Du is still waiting for you to ask you to advise me."

"That's right!" Sima Guang stopped laughing, covered his stomach with one hand, stroked his gray beard with the other, and said, "Brother Du, please forgive me for being too excited and losing his composure."

"Hehe, my brother is concerned about the country and the people, and his love is deep, so he forgets himself. I admire him very much."

"Okay, stop bragging about brother, what do you want to ask?"

"The way to govern the country." Du Wenhao smiled.

"What? You're an imperial doctor, why are you asking this? Could it be that you're tired of treating illnesses and want to change your career?"

"Hehe, I don't have such extravagant hopes, but I just heard that brother Sima is writing a masterpiece called "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", which starts with King Weilie of Zhou and goes down to the Five Dynasties, judging the merits and demerits of history, so I came here to ask for advice. "

Sima Guang was stunned for a while, and said cheerfully: "That's right, brother, I am writing such a book, but I haven't decided on the name yet. Brother, you actually praised this book as 'Tong Jian of Zi Zhi', It’s really an honor. I don’t dare to be called an old man with this name.”

Only then did Du Wenhao recall that the title of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" was named by Sima Guang after Song Shenzong praised it after it was completed.The book is not yet finished, so the name naturally does not exist.He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I heard that my brother's book reviews the history of more than 1000 years and judges the way of governing the country. Although I am a doctor, I want to know a thing or two. I wonder if my brother will teach me?"

Sima Guang was very happy, stroked his beard, and began to talk about his book, commenting on the gains and losses of the rulers of the past dynasties in governing the country. His wounds are still not healed, and it is a bit difficult to speak, so the words are very brief, which is good. In this way, it took two hours to evaluate the kings of the past dynasties.

Du Wenhao listened with great interest, but after listening to it, he was still at a loss as to how to write. If Sima Guang's method was copied, Song Shenzong would not be easy to be deceived, and he would immediately notice it, because Sima Guang's views written in the book, only I'm afraid it has been reported to Song Shenzong long ago.Plagiarism does not work.

He began to ask some targeted questions about how to manage money and how to manage administration.Sima Guang is also like a treasure trove, and Du Wenhao really benefited a lot by sharing them one by one.The two chatted until midnight.

The light rain was still falling outside, the door curtain was lifted, and Pang Yuqin came in: "Sir, it's late at night, let Master Sima rest early."

Du Wenhao stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother Sima, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!
"Hehe, I didn't expect Brother Du to be interested in discussing the strategy of governing the country. He really is a formidable young man."

Du Wenhao left and went back to the house with Pang Yuqin.

Yingzi helped Du Wenhao take off his clothes and belt, and brought water for washing his feet.While washing Du Wenhao's feet, he saw his silly expression and didn't know what he was thinking, so he giggled and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? Why did you become an idiot after talking to Master Sima all night?"

Du Wenhao just hummed, but he still hasn't woken up from his thoughts.

Pang Yuqin hissed, and said in a low voice: "Don't disturb your young master's thoughts, he is thinking about something."

Yingzi stuck out her tongue and continued to wash Du Wenhao's feet.

After washing his feet, Yingzi held the soles of his feet and massaged the acupoints on his feet. Du Wenhao finally recovered from his contemplation and said with a smile, "Yingzi's massage techniques are much better than before."

"Hee hee, practice makes perfect, it's all taught well by the young master."

"Then do you know why you need to massage the acupoints on the soles of your feet?"

"The young master said that there are six major meridians on the feet of a person, connecting the liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys, running through the blood and meridians of the whole body, and mediating the functions of the internal organs. Therefore, stimulating the acupoints on the soles of the feet can promote blood flow. Hehe, yes Bar?"

"Governing the country? The young master is a doctor, and it is enough to cure the disease. Master Sima and the others are the ones who govern the country."

"Now I can't only know how to treat diseases, but also need to understand some principles of governing the country. This is the emperor's request."

"Ah?!" Both Pang Yuqin and Yingzi were taken aback, "The emperor wants you to rule the country?"

"It's not anymore. The day before yesterday I told the emperor some ideas about governing the country. The emperor was a little interested and asked me to write a policy for governing the country to him. He wanted to see if I, a good doctor who treats diseases, have any good strategies for governing the country."

Pang Yuqin said: "No wonder you have been chatting with Master Sima about governing the country since you came back, so that's how it is."

"Yeah, unfortunately, I chatted with him all night, but I haven't been able to write yet."

"how?"

"What he said is very reasonable, but it is all his thoughts. If I copy it to deal with the emperor, I will definitely be seen through, because the emperor is very familiar with his views on governing the country, and is very concerned about the book he is writing. Therefore, if he uses his thoughts on governing the country, the emperor will only say that I am copying others, and there is nothing new."

Pang Yuqin nodded, and said: "You must write something new, and the emperor has never seen it before, so as to attract his attention. Moreover, these must be familiar to you."

"I'm familiar with it? Then the only way is to cure the disease."

Yingzi said happily: "That's right, young master, why don't you use the principle of treating people to treat the country? Healing the disease is the same as governing the country!"

Du Wenhao's eyes lit up: "That's right! Govern the country with the idea of ​​curing diseases! This is a new idea. I'm afraid few people have thought about it like this, and the emperor must have never seen it. Let me compare some of my ideas with some of Lord Sima's. Thinking, using dialectical theory to explain. Perhaps new ideas can come out!"

Yingzi blushed, lowered her head, feeling elated.

Du Wenhao put his socks on again, pulled his shoes, walked to the desk, picked up his pen and started writing.With the idea of ​​writing, I naturally know how to write, and I write like a dragon and snake, and start writing eloquently.

Pang Yuqin and Yingzi didn't dare to interrupt, Yingzi poured the water for washing his feet, Pang Yuqin made him a cup of strong tea, Yingzi brought another red candle, and then the two daughters sat aside, each working as a maid, and accompanied Du Wen Hao.

Du Wenhao stopped writing, occasionally stood up and walked around a few times, then sat down and continued to write until the fifth watch, and then he wrote more than ten pages of "blog articles" crookedly based on medical principles and governing the country.Satisfied, she took off her clothes and fell asleep with Pang Yuqin in her arms.

After only sleeping for a few hours, it was dawn, and Du Wenhao got up early because he had something to worry about.

The day was still cloudy and rainy.

Xue Fei'er cooked the breakfast herself and brought it back. Seeing Du Wenhao's bloodshot eyes and looking very tired, she felt distressed and pouted, "Your Majesty, I know that you will be busy with Master Sima's illness at night. How could this person order you to come into the palace during the daytime?" Pang Yuqin pouted her lips with a look of reluctance.

Du Wenhao wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "I don't have many things to do in the palace, such as being loyal to the emperor. Fei'er, Sima Guang's wife is an outsider. What can we do?" Help, you go and have a look, although he has sons and daughters to take care of him, but Hui'er's foot has not healed yet, Sima Yong is a man after all, there are some things that are not thoughtful..."

"Okay, okay, I get it," Xue Feier saw that Du Wenhao had finished his breakfast, and said, "Hurry up, go early and come back early." Xue Feier stuffed the umbrella without waiting for Du Wenhao to finish speaking. into his hands, and sent him to the gate to get on the sedan chair.

Du Wenhao stretched out his head: "Then I'm leaving, you must remember..."

"Worry! Remember it, giggling..." Xue Fei'er smiled coquettishly, waved to Du Wenhao, motioned him to leave quickly, and then turned to Sima Guang's ward after watching Du Wenhao go out the door. go.

After Du Wenhao entered the palace, he came to the Hall of Qinzheng. The emperor was going to court. He heard Eunuch Ning say that there was urgent military information.

Du Wenhao harbored his own strategy of medicine and governing the country, and sat in the apse waiting to serve the doctor.

Until the afternoon, the emperor didn't even come out to eat the imperial meal, and ordered someone to send it to the Palace of Qinzheng, where it seemed that the research continued uninterrupted.

In the afternoon, the rain still didn't stop, sometimes big and sometimes small.Du Wenhao sat in the room blankly, feeling a bit stuffy, so he opened the door and came out, went down the steps, braved the drizzle, walked to a gazebo in the garden, sat on a stone bench, and asked the little eunuch to bring a cup of strong tea.He only slept for a short while last night and was very tired. He originally wanted to sit here and drink a sip of Longjing, but before the tea was served, he fell asleep on the stone table exhausted.

"Master Du, Master Du..."

The voice seemed to come from the sky, Du Wenhao opened his eyes hard, and saw a head in front of him in a trance, with a sound, Du Wenhao almost jumped up.

"Master Du, did I scare you?"

Du Wenhao took a closer look, and it turned out to be Eunuch Ye in Concubine Zhu De's bedroom, looking at him with a kind smile on his face.

"Hehe, I just had a nightmare just now. I'm sorry, I can fall asleep during the day. By the way, did Eunuch Ye come to look for me?" Du Wenhao rubbed his sore eyes and stretched his eyes long. Lazy.

"Our family knows that Mr. Du is tired. He told the servant when he met Eunuch Ning just now. He didn't want to disturb your rest. It's just that your wife came and said she was looking for you urgently, so the empress asked the servant to come to you."

Only then did Du Wenhao realize that he had an extra piece of clothing on his body, probably put on by the little eunuch.

Du Wenhao was surprised: "Why, Qin'er has come into the palace?"

"Well, it's at the gate of the palace. Our family happened to be returning to the palace, and we met Mrs. Zun at the gate of the palace. She said, Master Sima..."

When Du Wenhao heard this, his heart tightened. Could it be that Sima Guang's condition had deteriorated, or Qin'er would not have rushed into the palace to look for him in such a hurry: "Ah, is it possible that Master Sima's condition has returned? You should have said it a long time ago, hurry up, I'll tell Eunuch Ning first, and then I'll leave the palace right away." After saying that, Du Wenhao turned to leave.

Eunuch Ye pulled Du Wenhao back, and said with a smile: "You can let our family finish talking!"

"Talk while walking." Du Wenhao was in a hurry to leave, but when he saw Eunuch Ye pulling him, he became anxious.

"Okay, then you go to find Mr. Ning first, but don't say that Master Sima's condition is recurring, because he is fine, but his wife is ill."

"Ah? It's not Master Sima, I was really taken aback." Du Wenhao let out a long sigh and stopped in his tracks.

Eunuch Ye stepped forward and said: "You haven't finished listening to what I have to say, you are in a hurry to leave. I heard from Mrs. Zun that Master Sima is recovering very well, and he can even be helped out of bed to walk around. His wife was probably too tired, so she fell ill. It is said that Gao Tusun has been diagnosed and treated for his wife, but it didn't work."

Du Wenhao said: "Madam Sima's illness must be very special, otherwise Qin'er would not have found her in the palace, I have to go back and have a look. Anyway, the emperor has been discussing important military affairs, and it probably won't be over until dark. I'll go Talk to Eunuch Ning."

Du Wenhao found Eunuch Ning and asked about the emperor's affairs. He said that there was a lot of quarrel inside and he didn't know when it would end.Du Wenhao told about Sima Guang's wife's illness, Ning Gonggong said: "There is nothing wrong with the emperor, why don't you go back first, and come back to serve the doctor after seeing Mrs. Sima's illness. Our family is watching over here."

Du Wenhao hurriedly agreed, and hurried out of the palace in a sedan chair. Sure enough, Pang Yuqin was waiting at the gate of the palace, asked a few words, and rushed back to Wuweitang together.

Du Wenhao walked into Sima Guangguang's ward. At that time, he considered letting Mrs. Wu take good care of Sima Guang, so he set up a bed here.Unexpectedly, in order to take care of her husband, she was so tired that she fainted beside the bed.

Sima Guang was sitting on the stool beside the bed, Hui'er was kneeling in front of the bed with frowning frowns, and Wu Shi was lying on the bed with her eyes closed tightly and breathing weakly.

"Master Du, you are back, my mother..." Hui'er saw Du Wenhao enter the room, got up quickly, limped and walked to Du Wenhao's side, looked back at her mother who was lying on the bed, and hadn't said a word yet. His eyes were red, and his voice choked up.

Du Wenhao walked to the bed and sat down. Seeing that Hui'er was very sad, he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, let me see and talk."

"Yeah." After hearing this, Hui'er walked to the side and stood there.

"Qin'er, it was Madam who was diagnosed and treated by Miao Shou earlier, right?"

"Yes, someone has been sent to the front hall to call for Miaoshou, and he will be here soon."

Pang Yuqin hadn't finished speaking, but someone outside the door said loudly: "Master Zu, you are back."

It was Du Wenhao's disciple Yan Miaoshou who came in from the door.

Du Wenhao waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, and asked Wu in a soft voice: "Madam, can you tell me what's wrong with you now?"

Wu's weak voice continued intermittently: "I'm a little tired..., my whole body is hot..."

Du Wenhao carefully looked at her face, saw that her face was red and her eyes were red, and her forehead felt hot, and said: "You stick out your tongue and let me see."

Mrs. Wu stuck out her tongue, and Du Wenhao saw that the tongue coating was white and greasy.

Du Wenhao asked: "Do you want to drink water? May I ask Huier to bring you some water?"

After hearing this, Hui'er was about to fetch water when she saw Mrs. Wu shaking her head slightly: "I'm a little thirsty, but I don't want to drink...don't go get it, I'll be fine after a while..." Saying that, Wu Shi closed his eyes again.

"Mother, don't go to sleep. You have been asleep for two days. Master Du is asking you something. Don't go to sleep." Hui'er became anxious, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Du Wenhao was taken aback: "Two days? The old lady has been comatose for the past two days?"

"That's not true. The day before yesterday was alright, but it got worse last night, and I've been in a coma until now. That's why I begged Madam Zun to invite you."

"When did Miao Shou treat the old lady?"

Yan Miaoshou said: "It was at noon the day before yesterday, your master entered the palace, so you asked your disciples to see you. I saw it twice, once the day before yesterday, and once yesterday."

"How was the old lady's condition at that time?"

Hui'er said: "At first, it was just a little fever. Later, after Dr. Yan and the others prescribed the medicine, my mother sweated all night and soaked her close-fitting clothes. She couldn't close her eyes all night and was out of breath. This morning, I wanted to ask Mrs. Du to take a look, but I heard that Mrs. Du is busy in the palace today, so I wanted to wait for you to come back in the evening, but I didn’t expect my mother to die at noon. Little, no one should respond. That's why I'm in a hurry."

Du Wenhao said to Yan Miaoshou: "Miaoshou, show me the prescription you prescribed earlier."

Miaoshou took out a prescription from his bosom, and handed it to Du Wenhao with both hands.

Du Wenhao looked at it, sighed, got up, walked to the table and sat down.Hui'er walked over to grind the exhibition paper for Du Wenhao, and soon Du Wenhao wrote the prescription and handed it to Yan Miao.

Yan Miaoshou was a little surprised when he saw it, and was about to ask, but Du Wenhao waved his hand, Yan Miaoshou had no choice but to swallow his words, and went out to the front hall to get medicine.

The medicine was soon ready and delivered, and Hui'er fed it to her mother.

In the evening, Mrs. Sima's high fever finally subsided, and she regained her sobriety.

Sima Guang happily stroked his beard and thanked Du Wenhao.Sima Yong and Hui'er were also grateful.

Du Wenhao saw that Yan Miao was confused and said with a smile, "Tell me, how did you differentiate the symptoms of Mrs. Sima's disease?"

"Reporting back to the master, the disciple saw that his wife's face was red and her ears were red, and she had a high fever. The syndrome was diagnosed as warm heat. For the first time, she prescribed medicines such as Qinzhi, but the heat could not be resolved. The disciple's syndrome was also diagnosed as yin deficiency and internal heat. She prescribed Shengdi, Dendrobium and other medicines. Take cold and cool medicine, but the fever is more severe, sleepless all night, sweating and wheezing, already in critical condition, disciples and grandchildren are dull, and can't figure it out."

"Well, but have you noticed that although Madam has a high fever, she is hot but not annoying?"

Yan Miao opened her eyes wide.

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Just now I asked the old lady if she was thirsty. Although she said she was thirsty, she didn't want to drink water. It proved that it was not warm. Didn't you notice? It has been rainy these days, and there are puddles everywhere in the yard , People living in the middle of the day are most likely to experience damp-heat diseases. The old lady is not bothered by heat, she is thirsty and does not drink, and her moss is white and greasy. Containment, of course the heat cannot be relieved. Then you throw in Yin deficiency and internal heat to nourish the yin and clear the heat, which only makes the evil of dampness and heat lingering and puzzled. Clear away dampness and heat, add osmanthus and ginger to warm Yang Qi, and the heat will subside and the body will be at peace."

Yan Miaoshou suddenly realized, bowed and said, "Master Zu's wonderful recipe!"

"It's not my formula, but the syndrome differentiation cannot be limited to the disease itself. Sometimes, it is necessary to refer to the patient's environment for detailed syndrome differentiation, so as to be accurate."

Yan Miaoshou looked ashamed: "The apprentice understands."
