Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 379

Li Chengqian also feels that the new herbal medicine is a great feat for the benefit of all mankind and the medical profession.

Li Chengqian agreed without hesitation, and asked Li Ji, Su Jing and more than 20 people to participate in the compilation of the new herb.

After two years, this new herbal book is finally published.

In the newly revised Materia Medica, there are 20 volumes of text and 1 volume of table of contents; in addition, there are 25 volumes of medicine pictures, 1 volume of table of contents; and 7 volumes of Tujing.

A total of 850 kinds of medicines are recorded in the main text, 114 kinds more than Bencao Jingjizhu.This book is based on the annotations of the Materia Medica, with additional annotations and new medicines.

The original vegetation, insects and beasts are divided into four categories: grass, wood, beasts, insects and fish, and the preface is also divided into two.

The newly added note is titled with the word "Jinan", and the small characters are written after Tao Hongjing's note.

Added medicinals are written in large black fonts, with "New Attachment" at the end.In the content of supplementary notes, most of them record the form and place of origin of the drug, and also describe the efficacy and alias of the drug.

Not only that, the book also corrects most of Dow's fallacies, providing a correct basis for later generations to identify and correct drug bases.

The newly revised Materia Medica is the first pharmacopoeia promulgated by the government in Chinese history, and it is also the earliest pharmacopoeia in the world.

Its role is great, it is obvious!It's not an exaggeration to call it a classic.

"From now on, this newly revised herbal medicine will be the standard pharmacological work to restrict doctors and drug dealers. Anyone who practices medicine and sells medicine must learn the newly revised herbal medicine, otherwise, they will be severely punished." Li Chengqian said.

This kind of medical classics with high authority and practicality naturally needs to be vigorously promoted, so that newly revised herbal medicine becomes a compulsory textbook for medical students.

After the last one was finished, Li Chengqian announced his resignation when no one played it again.

……

An off-string arrow hit a distant target and almost missed it!

Li Chengqian handed the bow in his hand to the eunuch at the side, and said to Li Ke: "My archery is getting worse and worse. Although I couldn't hit the bull's-eye before, it was not far from the bull's-eye."

"Now I almost missed the target. After a long time, I'm afraid I can't even draw the bow! It makes you laugh!"

"Brother Huang is busy with state affairs every day, so naturally there is no time for archery. After a long time without using the bow, there is nothing wrong with it being abandoned!"

"To tell you the truth! I haven't practiced riding and archery for a long time, and my skills in this area are indeed quite unfamiliar. I have been afraid to say it for fear of making my brother laugh." Li Ke said embarrassedly.

Li Chengqian laughed it off, and didn't take Li Ke's words seriously. He abandoned riding and shooting. Apart from being busy with government affairs, the biggest reason was that he had inconvenient legs and feet and couldn't ride a horse.

As for archery, he was not very interested in bows and arrows, so he didn't work hard on it, and it would naturally fall into disuse over time.

As for Li Ke, he knows that besides handling official duties on weekdays, he will spare some time to practice martial arts, riding and archery, etc.

If Li Ke wanted to say that he was not good at riding and shooting, Li Chengqian would never believe it anyway. Li Ke was the best riding and shooting among his brothers.

"Report to everyone! The Anxi Protectorate Mansion sent someone to send urgent documents for [-] miles." An eunuch trotted up to Li Chengqian and saluted.

Li Chengqian took the document with a sigh. It is really a troubled time right now, and the issue of Baekje and Goguryeo in the Northeast has not yet been resolved.

At this time, Tubo sent troops to make trouble in the northwest and wanted to occupy Tuyuhun on the grounds that the Tang Dynasty refused to make peace.

Now that the Western Regions are not peaceful, needless to say, since the documents sent by the Anxi Protectorate took eight hundred miles to expedite, it must not be a good thing.

After Li Chengqian finished reading it, he became even more furious, why all kinds of ghosts and monsters came out to make trouble.

"Brother Huang! What happened in the Western Regions?" Li Ke asked seeing Li Chengqian's angry face.

"Anxi Governor's Mansion came to report that Duman, the leader of the Sijie Department, led an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. I am so angry!" Li Chengqian said.

Si Jie, an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, dared to rebel and add trouble to him at this juncture.

What's even more hateful is that Sijie not only rebelled against himself, but also rebelled with the three tribes of Lashang Shule, Zhu Jubo, and Yebanduo, defeating Khotan.

The typical one would die if everyone dies together, and only if Mo Bei is turned upside down is he reconciled.

"The Sijie barbarians dared to act so boldly. My brother thinks that the most urgent thing is to send troops to wipe out the Sijie tribe immediately to avoid further expansion of the situation." Li Ke said.

Li Ke was deeply worried!Sijiebu rebelled, Tubo invaded Tuyuhun, and Tang sent troops to rescue Silla, all of which happened together!
Although Datang is strong and powerful, it can't stand multi-line warfare.

"It is really urgent to put down the Sijie rebellion, but I just don't know who is suitable to lead the army?" Li Chengqian said, he has several candidates in his mind, but he doesn't know who is better to choose.

"My brother thinks that General Zuo Xiaowei and Duke Xing Su Dingfang can take on this important task!" Li Ke recommended Su Dingfang to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian slapped his thigh after hearing this, how could he forget about Su Dingfang!

He is recorded in the history books as a generation of famous generals who destroyed the Three Kingdoms successively and captured their lords alive. In history, he was also the one who quelled the rebellion of his tribe.

"Why did I forget Duke Xing! Someone, quickly call Duke Xing Su Dingfang to have an audience!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The eunuch took the order and left.

Soon, Su Ding conveniently appeared in front of Li Chengqian and Li Ke.

"Veteran Su Lie pays homage to His Majesty! I have met His Highness King Wu!" Su Dingfang saluted.

"Exemption!" Li Chengqian stepped forward to support Su Dingfang and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, old minister!" Su Dingfang thanked him.

"Su Qing, the Sijie Department colluded with Shule, Zhu Jubo, and Yebanduo to plot a rebellion. I want Su Qing to fight for the Tang Dynasty to suppress the rebellion." Li Chengqian said.

Su Dingfang is now 67 years old, and he can be regarded as a long-lived person. Li Chengqian is still a little worried about whether he can do well at such an old age.

"Your Majesty has an order! The old minister should share the worries for His Majesty! It is the duty of the old minister to put down the rebellion." Su Dingfang said.

"Su Qing, you are very old now, to be honest, I am really worried about your body." Li Chengqian said.

"Hahaha!" Su Dingfang laughed loudly after hearing this, "As the saying goes: At thirty one stands up, at forty one is not confused, at fifty one knows destiny, at sixty one listens."

"The old minister is now in his sixties, but he is still in good health. He can ride a horse and draw a strong bow. Not to mention a rebellion in the Sijie Department, it is a rebellion in the entire Western Region."

"As long as His Majesty gives an order! I can put down all the rebellions, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the old minister!"

"Okay! With Su Qing's words, I don't have any worries. This time I have Lao Suqing in the fight against the rebellion. I appointed you as the pacification ambassador to lead the army to crusade against Sijie and other ministries." Li Chengqian said.

"The old minister is hereby ordered!" Su Dingfang saluted.

"Everything is up to Su Qing!" Li Chengqian said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! Wait for the old minister to return in triumph! The old minister will leave!" Su Dingfang said, saluted and said goodbye, he needed to go back and make some preparations.
