Chapter 39 Chapter 238 Miracle Doctor Bian Que

When Yan Ying passed away, some were sad and some were happy.The happiest people besides the Tian family are the Jin people. "Hey, the state of Qi is even worse now." Zhao Jianzi, Marshal of the Central Army of the Jin State, said happily that the weakening of the strength of the State of Qi is conducive to the expansion of the Zhao family to the east. It's a pity that after a few days of unhappy, Zhao Jianzi fell ill, and the illness was not serious.How light is it?After being unconscious for five consecutive days, he was about to follow Yan Ying. The Zhao family was in a panic, but Dong Anyu was not yet in despair.

As the saying goes: there is no unparalleled road. At this time, someone came to report that the famous doctor Bian Que was practicing medicine here, so you might as well invite Zhao Jianzi to see a doctor. "Please." Dong Anyu ordered, Zhao Jianzi was seriously ill, and Dong Anyu was in charge of the Zhao family.He has also heard of Bian Que, and it is hard to say whether he is as godlike as in the legend, but now, he has no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Bian Que invited them soon. When Bian Que arrived, everyone invited him into the ward and came to the sick bed.

"Please stay away," Bian Que asked. Dong Anyu waved his hand, everyone went out, only Dong Anyu and Bian Que were left in the room. Bian Que sat down beside Zhao Jianzi and gestured for Dong Anyu not to speak. Dong Anyu stood behind him and watched quietly. Bian Que stared at Zhao Jianzi's face for a while, and there seemed to be doubts on his face. After that, Bian Que lifted Zhao Jianzi's quilt, gently pulled Zhao Jianzi's hand out, and placed it on his lap.Afterwards, Bian Que put the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand on Zhao Jianzi's wrist lightly, then raised his head, as if he was listening to something.

After a while, Bian Que nodded, let go of his hand, stood up, and walked out. "Sir, I want to ask first, what are you doing with your hand on the Lord's wrist?" Dong Anyu first wanted to clarify this matter, and he felt a little strange. "Qiemai, there is a pulse at this position, and through Qiemai, one can detect the patient's physical condition." Bian Que said.It turned out to be pulse cutting. "Historical Records": Bian Que is the one who speaks the pulse of the world today.What's the meaning?The patriarch who uses the pulse to diagnose diseases is Bian Que.

"Then, what did you get out of the pulse?" Dong Anyu asked eagerly. "The pulse is normal, so don't worry, it's okay, just treat it as a deep sleep, and you will wake up when you should wake up." Bian Que said easily, clapped his hands, and then said: "Qin Mugong once fell asleep in one breath. Seven days later, when I woke up, I said to Gongsun Zhi and Gongzi Zhen: "I had a long dream, and I went to God. God told me that the state of Jin would be chaotic, and then it would dominate, and finally it would be divided." Later This is exactly what happened. Marshal Zhao should be in the same situation as Qin Mugong, and he will sleep for another three days at most, and when he wakes up, he will definitely say that he had a big dream."

Dong Anyu was considered a learned man, but he had never heard of the story of Qin Mugong, so he thought about it and said: "Sir, since we have said that, we are relieved. However, just in case, please stay a few more days , and wait for the lord to wake up." What Dong Anyu meant was that he was worried that Bian Que was a liar, and if he couldn't cure himself, he said these words to deceive others, and in the end the treatment was delayed. "Okay." Bian Que readily agreed, such a case is rare, and he would like to see how Zhao Jianzi wakes up. In a blink of an eye, two and a half days passed.

"Wow." Zhao Jianzi yelled, opened his eyes, and sat up straight. Dong Anyu, Bian Que and others were chatting outside, when they heard Zhao Jianzi shouting inside, they hurried in. "Master, are you awake? You finally woke up." Dong Anyu was both happy and scared at the same time, wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, with tears in his eyes. "An Yu, what's going on here?" Seeing Dong Anyu crying and laughing while he was on the bed, Zhao Jianzi was a little confused. "My lord, do you know how many days you slept? Seven and a half days, we were all anxious to death. When we saw you wake up, can you not laugh? Can you not cry? Hahahaha." Dong Anyu laughed loudly, Tears were also squeezed out.

"Hahahaha, that's how it is. But let me tell you where I have been these seven days. I had a long dream, and I dreamed that I went to God." Although Zhao Jianzi hadn't eaten or drank for seven and a half days, he was still in good spirits: "God is very He entertained me warmly, and let the gods accompany me to eat, drink and play, and listen to the music in the sky. , was shot to death by my arrow again. God was very happy and gave me two lunch boxes. I saw my son Wu Shi beside God, and God gave me a foreign dog, saying that he would give him Wu Shi when he grew up. God He also told me that the state of Jin is almost doomed, only the fifth monarch is left, and our Ying surname is about to rise."

Zhao Jianzi said while Dong Anyu memorized it. "Hey, who is this?" After talking for a long time, Zhao Jianzi realized that there was a stranger in the room. "Ah, this is the genius doctor Bian Que. We were going to make arrangements for the lord's funeral. Thanks to him, he came and told us that the lord is fine. It was just a long dream. What a genius doctor." Dong Anyu hurriedly said Bian Que introduced it to Zhao Jianzi and explained Bian Que's diagnosis in detail. Zhao Jianzi couldn't believe it, so he reluctantly said thanks. Therefore, if a person sleeps for seven days in a row, he must have gone to see God.If it exceeds nine days, then stay with God forever.

At this time, the family brought up the food, and they hadn't eaten for seven days, so they knew that Zhao Jianzi must be very hungry.Zhao Jianzi was really hungry. Seeing the delicious food, he couldn't help but want to eat it. "Wait a minute, take these meals away." Bian Que spoke, and everyone was a little surprised, not knowing what he was going to say. "Marshal Zhao has not eaten for seven days, and his stomach and intestines are already stuck together. If he eats too much suddenly, his stomach and intestines will rupture. Now it is only advisable to drink a small amount of gruel, five or six meals a day, but a small bowl each time. Until After you have a bowel movement, you can slowly increase the amount, and you must return to a normal diet after three days."

After Bian Que's words, everyone suddenly realized. Now, Zhao Jianzi had to look at Bian Que with admiration. "Sir, your medical skills are so good, why don't you leave and stay in Jin State, and I will give you 40,000 mu of land." Zhao Jianzi wanted to keep Bian Que, and he offered a high price. "Haha, Marshal, if I love money, I won't come out to practice medicine. If I stay anywhere, I won't be able to eat enough, so I won't know the Marshal. I accept the Marshal's kindness, but I still have to swim." Go around the world and treat people all over the world. If the marshal needs it, just send someone to find me at any time.” Bian Que declined. He didn’t like to stay in one place and enjoy the life of a rich man. Difficult cases. Speaking of which, Bian Que is still a donkey friend. Bian Que's real name is not Bian Que. His original surname was Qin, and his first name was Yueren. He was an immigrant from Zheng State in Bohai (now Renqiu, Hebei).Bian Que's life experience seems more complicated, his ancestors must be from the state of Qin, maybe his mother was from the state of Yue, so he was named Yueren.His father was obviously from the state of Zheng. He himself was born in the state of Zheng, but later immigrated to the state of Qi. Therefore, Bian Que has concentrated the characteristics of east, west, north, south. When he was young, Bian Que went from Zheng State to Qi State to work, and ended up working as a foreman in an inn here in Bohai.There was a resident named Changsang Jun. Bian Que felt that this person was unusual, so he took special care of him.Mr. Changsang often came to stay at the hotel, and ten years later, Mr. Changsang invited Bian Que out to chat on this day. "Ah Bian, I think you are kind and smart. I have a secret medical prescription handed down from my ancestors. I am old and have no children, so I am going to pass it on to you. Don't tell others." Mr. Changsang Sure enough, he is a person with knowledge, and he wants to pass on the secret recipe handed down from his ancestors to Bian Que. "That's great, thank you very much, I will definitely not tell anyone." Bian Que was overjoyed. Being a doctor is of course much better than working for others. So Changsang Jun took out his secret recipe and gave it to Bian Que, and then taught him the technique of pulse diagnosis.When Bian Que fully mastered the medical skills, Mr. Changsang left and disappeared afterwards. Since then, Bian Que has traveled around the world to diagnose and treat patients.Bian Que's medical skills are not limited to a certain aspect, but very comprehensive.In Handan, where the status of women is relatively high, Bian Que focuses on gynecology; in Luoyi, where the elderly are respected, Bian Que focuses on facial features, because most of the elderly are not functional; Focus on pediatrics.Wherever you go, change your medical focus according to local customs. Now that we have talked about Bian Que, let me talk about ancient Chinese medicine by the way. Chinese medicine begins with Shennong tasting a hundred herbs.Shennong is the ancestor of Chinese medicine, and acupuncture was invented by Fuxi earlier.When I arrived at Bian Que, I had a pulse again.The real system of Chinese medicine was not until the appearance of the "Huangdi Neijing" and "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" in the Han Dynasty. There are mainly the following types of TCM theories. The theory of yin and yang: "The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine" says: "Life has form and cannot be separated from yin and yang." From the perspective of physiology and pathology, normal physiological activities depend on the coordination of "yang qi" and "yin essence" in the human body. , when Yin and Yang become partial prosperity and partial decline, one will get sick.As far as diagnosis and treatment are concerned, the correct diagnosis must first distinguish between Yin and Yang. Five Elements: The Five Elements Theory is applied in Chinese medicine and has very important value.This is the change law of birth and restraint, which is widely connected with the five internal organs and six internal organs of the human body to form a theoretical system that guides medicine and clinical practice.For example, wood restrains soil and connects the five internal organs, the liver belongs to wood, and the spleen belongs to soil, so the liver can restrain the spleen, and the spleen is often treated together with the liver and spleen, so there is a principle of "supporting the soil and restraining the wood". Meridian: Meridian is a theory that studies the functions of the meridian system of the human body and the relationship between the internal organs.Meridians are the backbone of the meridian system, called meridians, which mostly run through the deep part of the human body; collaterals are the branches of the meridians, which connect the whole body like a network, and run through the superficial parts of the human body.The meridians are composed of: the main meridian, the eight extra meridians and the collaterals, the twelve meridians, and the twelve muscle meridians.Among them, the twelve regular meridians and the eight extra meridians are important components of meridians. Internal organs: It is the general term for the internal organs of the human body.The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are called the five internal organs; the small intestine, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, bladder, and triple burner are called the six internal organs.The internal organs and the six internal organs each perform their duties and correspond to different symptoms.The Sanjiao is not an independent viscera body, but is divided into three parts according to the location and function of the viscera: the heart and lungs are the upper energizers, the spleen and stomach are the middle energizers, and the liver, kidneys, large and small intestines, and bladder are the lower energizers. Correspondence between man and nature: To keep healthy and avoid diseases, one must follow nature, adapt to the four seasons climate and the rhythm of day and night, so as to maintain the coordination of the inside and outside of the human body.Otherwise, you will get sick.Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment not only grasps the occurrence and development of the disease, but also pays attention to the influence of external factors in the natural environment on the patient. Before Bian Que, there were famous doctors and physicians in Qin State. If Bian Que's ancestral home in Qin State is added, it can basically be said that Qin State was the leader in the medical field at that time. Bian Que finally did not stay in Jin, but came to Qi.Qi Huanhou, the king of the state of Qi, heard about Bian Que's medical treatment for Zhao Jianzi, so he sent someone to invite Bian Que to the court as a guest. In other countries, of course this face must be given.Therefore, Bian Que went to court to see Marquis Huan of Qi. The two sat down, and just after exchanging greetings, Bian Que's face suddenly changed, and he said, "You have a small disease between the skin, if you don't cure it, it will enter the blood." "Hahahaha, sir, you are just joking. Look at me, I am in good health and eat delicious food. How can I be sick?" Marquis Qi Huan laughed. He is in good health. The two chatted for a while, and Bian Que left. "Doctors are like this. In order to make money, they call no patients sick." Qi Huanhou said to the people around him. "That's right, the doctor wants everyone to be sick." The people around him echoed. Five days later, Bian Que went to see Qi Huanhou again. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Your disease has invaded the blood vessels. If you don't treat it, it may go deep into your body." Bian Que said to Qi Huanhou as soon as we met. "Stop talking, I'm not sick." Qi Huanhou was a little unhappy. Bian Que was a little embarrassed, struck up a few words, and left. Five days later, Bian Que went to see Qi Huanhou again. "Oh, it's not good. Your illness is already in the stomach and intestines. If you don't cure it, it will penetrate deeper into your body." Bian Que's expression was a little exaggerated. Qi Huanhou ignored him, thinking that this must make me sick? With his hot face on his cold butt, Bian Que walked away in a hurry. Five days later, Bian Que went to see Qi Huanhou again.This time, after seeing Qi Huanhou, Bian Que's face changed drastically, and he turned and left without saying a word. Qi Huanhou originally waited for Bian Que to say that he was sick, and then scolded him severely and deported him.But this time, Bian Que didn't speak, and you didn't speak, I still want to hear it.So Qi Huanhou sent someone to catch up with Bian Que and asked him why he turned around and left. "Since you are asking, let me tell you the truth. At first, when the disease was in the skin and flesh, the effect of decoction and medicine ironing could achieve the purpose of curing the disease; later, the disease was in the blood, and the effect of acupuncture and stone needles The purpose of curing the disease can be achieved; after the disease is in the stomach, the potency of the medicinal wine can achieve the purpose of curing the disease; and now the disease has entered the bone marrow, even the God in charge of life has nothing to do, so I no longer ask for his treatment. " Bian Que said to the visitor. Five days later, Qi Huanhou's illness began to attack, so he sent someone to summon Bian Que, but Bian Que had already fled Qi.Soon, Qi Huanhou died of illness. This story was first seen in "Han Feizi", but it is not Qi Huanhou, but Cai Huangong, and it is Qi Huanhou in "Historical Records".In fact, there was neither Duke Huan Cai nor Marquis Huan Qi in history.Therefore, the authenticity of this story remains to be tested. However, this story contributes an idiom: avoiding diseases and avoiding doctors. Fleeing Qi State, Bian Que decided to go to Qin State, firstly to return to the country of his ancestors, and secondly to have some academic exchanges. All the way to the east, I came to the state of Jin again, and saw the land of Guo (now Sanmenxia, ​​Henan), which was not far from the state of Qin. The surname of the doctor in Guodi is Han, and he belongs to the Han family.Bian Que knew that the relationship between the Zhao and Han families was extraordinary, so he decided to pay a visit to the doctor's mansion in Guodi and rest at the mansion for a few days.At that time, in the state of Jin, officials from all over the country were called Marquis, so the official in Guo was also called Marquis Guo, and the eldest son of the family was also called Prince. When he came to the gate of Guohou's house, he saw that the gatekeeper seemed very unhappy. "Please report, just say Marshal Zhao's friend Mr. Bian Que is visiting." Bian Que said to the gatekeeper. "I'm sorry, the master doesn't see any guests." The gatekeeper said coldly. "why?" "Because the prince is dead." "Dead? How did he die?" Out of a doctor's instinct, Bian Que blurted out. "I heard that it was because the blood and qi flowed irregularly, and the yin and yang were intertwined and could not be ventilated. They suddenly convulsed, foamed at the mouth, injured internal organs, and passed out to death." The gatekeeper said. "When did he die?" "It's been less than half a day since the cock crowed." "Is it buried yet?" "Not yet." The janitor replied impatiently, thinking that this person probably sold coffins. "Please tell Mr. Guo that I am Bian Que, and I once treated Marshal Zhao. I heard that the prince is dead, and I can bring him back to life." "Blow it?" Of course the gatekeeper didn't believe it. He looked at Bian Que sideways and said, "I heard that in ancient times, there was a doctor named Yu Xun who didn't use decoction, medicinal wine, needles, meteorites, or guiding stones to treat diseases." Using methods such as massage, medicine ironing, etc., you can know the location of the disease as soon as you untie the clothes for diagnosis. Follow the acupoints of the five internal organs, then cut the skin and dissect the muscles, dredge the meridians, ligate the tendons, press and treat the brain, touch the dead, and clear the body Diaphragm, cleansing the intestines and stomach, cleansing the five internal organs, cultivating essence, and changing the expression. If the master’s medical skills can be like this, then the prince can be regenerated; if you can’t do this, but want to make him regenerate, that is fooling the common people.” "Alas." Bian Que sighed towards the sky, thinking that this is not for curing diseases, it is clearly for killing pigs. "The treatment methods you mentioned are like looking at the sky from a bamboo tube, and looking at the patterns from the gaps. The treatment methods I use don't necessarily need to cut the patient's pulse, check the complexion, listen to the voice, and observe the patient's posture and expression. Tell where the cause of the disease is. Knowing the external manifestations of the disease can infer the internal cause; knowing the internal cause of the disease can infer the external manifestations. The disease in the human body will be reflected from the body surface, and it can be diagnosed accordingly For patients thousands of miles away, I have many ways to make decisions, and I can’t just look at the problem from one angle. If you think what I said is untrue and reliable, try to go in and see the prince, and you should hear ringing in his ears and see Until the wings of the nose flutter, and touch the pussy along the legs, it should still be warm." "Ah, really?" The gatekeeper was dumbfounded after hearing Bian Que's words. He didn't dare to say any more at that time, and hurried in to report. After hearing what the gatekeeper had said, Mr. Guo rushed out to welcome him. First, he had heard of Bian Que’s name a long time ago. Second, Bian Que was a guest of Zhao Jianzi. Third, the most important point was that he saw the rescuer. The hope of living son. "Mr. Bian Que, I have heard you famous for a long time. My whole family is very grateful to you for saving my son." Seeing Bian Que, Mr. Guo seemed to see a savior, and shed tears as he spoke. . "Don't worry, your son's illness is what people call 'corpse kick'. It is because Yang Qi is trapped in the Yin meridian, and the meridian Qi entangles and impulses the stomach. The meridian is damaged and the meridian is blocked. Therefore, the yang meridian descends, the yin qi rises, and the yin and yang qi converge and block each other, making it impossible to flow smoothly. The yin qi goes up in the opposite direction, and the yang qi has to move inward. If you are blocked, you cannot be dispatched by yin qi. There are veins that isolate yang qi above, and sinews that destroy yin qi below. Such destruction of yin qi and isolation of yang qi will cause people's complexion to decline and blood vessels to become chaotic, so people will lose their health. Quiet as if dead. The prince is not actually dead. Those who block the visceral qi due to yang entering and attacking yin can be cured, and those who block the visceral qi when yin enters and attacks yang are bound to die. These situations will all suddenly occur when the five internal organs are in reverse. Excellent Doctors can cure this disease, but poor doctors will make patients dangerous because of confusion." Bian Que explained a medical theory, and Mr. Guo kept nodding, but he didn't understand at all, and said in his heart, "Don't talk, let's do it quickly." Bian Que entered Prince Guo's room, Prince Guo lay motionless on the bed, Bian Que observed for a while, cut his pulse again, nodded, and confirmed his diagnosis. Later, Bian Que asked his student Ziyang to sharpen the needle stone and inject a needle at Baihui Point. After a while, Prince Guo opened his eyes and woke up. Guo Jun was stunned and surprised. Afterwards, Bian Que asked the student Zibao to prepare medicine ironing that can penetrate into the body for five minutes, and then mixed and decocted medicine with eight reductions, and ironed it alternately under the two flanks. After a while, the prince was able to sit up. "It's okay, let's keep it for a while, and within a month, everything will be as usual." Bian Que said. "Plop." Guo Jun knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Bian Que, almost saying "thank you eight generations of ancestors". Bian Que stayed in Guodi, further reconciling Yin and Yang for Prince Guo, and governing both internally and externally.Twenty days later, Prince Guo's body has recovered to the same as before. Since then, Bian Que's reputation has become even louder, and there are rumors everywhere that he can bring the dead back to life. "It's not that I can bring the dead back to life. It's because he wasn't dead in the first place. All I can do is to make him recover." Bian Que said, and then concluded: "If you can know the unrevealed symptoms in advance, you can diagnose and treat them early. , then the disease can be cured, and the life can be saved. There are six kinds of illnesses that cannot be cured: being arrogant and unreasonable, one is incurable; The three are incurable; the confusion of yin and yang, the abnormal function of the five internal organs are the four fatalities; the five are fatal for those who are very weak and unable to take medicine; the six are fatal for those who believe in witchcraft and do not believe in medical skills.” "Historical Records": There are six diseases that cannot be cured: arrogance regardless of reason, one cannot be cured; If you take medicine, you will die five times; if you believe in witchcraft but not medicine, you will die six times.If there is such a person, it will be difficult to cure. After leaving Guo, Bian Que finally came to Qin. In the state of Qin, Bian Que still practiced medicine everywhere, and at the same time exchanged medical skills with colleagues in the state of Qin.At this time, the imperial physician of the State of Qin was named Li Yan, and Bian Que came to visit him.After the two had some exchanges, Li Yan knew that the stuff in his stomach was too childish compared to Bian Que, and he was very upset. "Then what, it just so happens that my lord has been feeling a little unwell recently, and I have to prepare soup and medicine, so I won't accompany you any longer." Li Yan meant to invite Bian Que to leave. "What? Can I go and have a look?" Bian Que didn't realize what Li Yan meant, but became interested in the illness of Lord Qin and wanted to go and have a look. Originally, Bian Que just wanted to treat the king of Qin, and it was also a favor for Li Yan, and had no other meaning.But Li Yan was burning with jealousy at this time, all he thought was that Bian Que wanted to grab his job. Back then, Bian Que didn't even want Zhao Jianzi's fiefdom, so how could he come to grab your position as an imperial physician? "No need, a little illness, don't bother me, sir, when I am really in trouble, I will ask you again." Li Yan refused, but his words were still polite. Bian Que didn't insist and said goodbye.From then on, he was still practicing medicine in Qin State, and never thought about the illness of Qin Guojun. It didn't take long for Bian Que to become famous in Qin State, even the king of Qin State heard about it. By this time, Li Yan was even more worried about losing his position. what to do?Li Yan thought of three ways. Method 1: Use your own relationship to falsely accuse Bian Que of illegal business operations and arrest him; Method 2: Buy Bian Que with money and ask him to leave with knowledge; Method 3: Hire gangster killers to assassinate Bian Que. Li Yan weighed three methods. The first method is highly operable, but Bian Que's reputation is too good, and he is worried that it will cause condemnation from the people of Qin. On the contrary, it was even more embarrassing.After much deliberation, there is still a way to do it once and for all. One night a few days later, Bian Que received an emergency call, saying that a child had fainted suddenly, and asked his husband to help him.Bian Que went on the road immediately, but fell into a trick and was killed by gangsters hired by Li Yan on the road. In this way, a generation of genius doctor Bian Que was killed. According to legend, Prince Guo heard that Bian Que had been murdered, so he specially sent someone to retrieve Bian Que's head from Qin State, buried it in Pengshan, the inner hill of Xingtai, Hebei, and set up a temple to worship it.Today, there are Bian Que Tomb and Bian Que Temple.It is also said that Zhao Jianzi sent someone to bury Bian Que's head.In addition, there are also tombs of Bian Que in Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi, and it is impossible to distinguish the authenticity. Bian Que is the originator of Chinese medicine.The world respects him as a miracle doctor.Bian Que created the diagnostic method of looking, smelling, asking, and feeling, which laid the foundation for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.Bian Que specializes in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, facial features and other subjects. He uses Bianstone acupuncture, acupuncture, massage, soup, hot ironing and other methods to treat diseases, and is revered as the ancestor of medicine.Bian Que is the originator of traditional Chinese medicine and the founder of TCM theory. According to "Hanshu Yiwenzhi", Bian Que wrote "Neijing" and "Waijing", but both of them have been lost.
