Chapter 12 Section 12

This is something that the Empress Dowager Cixi felt deeply rebellious about, since she was ill, it was not suitable for her. In addition, Prince Gong Fujin died of illness, and the feelings of sister-in-law added to the sadness.Because of these unresolved sorrows, the symptoms that were slightly improved, suddenly recurred, and I couldn't get out of bed. The imperial physician Li Deli asked for the pulse, and the pulse he gave was: "Deficiency of both Qi and blood, unrecovered heart and spleen, imbalance of nutrition, intermittent heat in the waist and legs, bloody phlegm in the morning and evening, lack of food and shortness of breath." After reading the prescription, the memorial office was all worried, and sent Fujin to the palace to treat the disease that day.

"To recuperate, to recuperate, you must rest!" Empress Dowager Cixi said to Empress Dowager Ci'an who was sitting in front of the sick bed: "This messy situation, how can I calm down?" Empress Dowager Ci'an was clumsy with words and didn't know how to comfort her, so she said anxiously: "We have to find a way. I don't think Li Deli can do it!" It just so happened that Bao Ting had a memorial, suggesting that all provinces send orders to visit famous doctors and recommend them to come to Beijing.First of all, I am afraid that this will make too much noise, arouse suspicion from the outside world, and affect the situation, so I really can't care about it at the moment.The Empress Dowager Ci'an obtained the consent of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and sent a five-hundred-mile urgent court letter, secretly instructing the governors of each province: "Instruct the ministers of military affairs, etc.: It has been several months since Empress Dowager Cixi Duanyou Kangyi Zhaoyu Zhuangcheng is in debt .Diejing Tai Hospital, it has been recuperated, but it is not yet safe. There are many people in other provinces who pay attention to Qihuang and fine veins. I wrote to the governor of the government, etc., to extend the visit in detail. , That is to say, send staff to Beijing, and the Minister of the Interior will lead the officials of the Tongtai Hospital to inspect it in detail and make a request for an order.

Jiangsu and other provinces lacked people to consult and send, so they came to Beijing by ship in order to speed up. " As for the secret decree for seeking medical treatment, Li Hongzhang, who was near Gyeonggi, was the first to receive an imperial edict to sponsor Xue Fuchen, the former Jidong Daoist in Shandong; then Zeng Guoquan, governor of Shanxi, recommended Wang Shouzheng, the current county magistrate of Yangqu County, Shanxi; Wu Yuanbing, governor of Jiangsu, sponsored Ma Wenzhi, a famous doctor in Changzhou.When Li Hanzhang, the governor of Huguang, and Peng Zuxian, the governor of Hubei, arrived, Xue Fuchen was also the sponsor.

So a decree was issued and a call was made.Xue Fuchen arrived in Beijing on June 23, before the emperor's longevity.Because the decree stated that "the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the officials of the Tongtai Hospital will conduct a detailed inspection", the accompanying personnel directly led Xue Fuchen to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was received by En Cheng, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the same family of Empress Dowager Cixi. Xue Fuchen is a third-rank suit, and when he went up to the hall, Li Deli, who was a fourth-rank suit, was sitting majestically, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Encheng was polite, calling him "Mr. Fuping" and introducing them to each other.Li Deli was "jealous of each other", and Xue Fuchen felt wronged. Both of them felt bad, but of course official etiquette must be taken care of, so they both greeted each other with smiles. "Mr. Fuping is from a noble family in Wuxi." Encheng said to Li Deli, "The medical skills are excellent, I think you have always heard of it?" Li Deli has naturally heard of it, and he knew his name as early as more than ten years ago.Xue Fuchen is Xue Fucheng's elder brother. He was a candidate in the Shuntian Township Examination in the fifth year of Xianfeng.

At that time, the bloody battle in the southeast was in full swing, and he could not return to his hometown. His father, Xue Xiaofan, lived in Dangzhou County, Hunan Province. .Not long after Ding You, and misfortunes never come singly, when Xue Fuchen traveled thousands of miles to the funeral, he suddenly got the news that Wuxi had fallen, and his mother fled in a hurry.So the funeral was rough, and I trekked from time to time. I found my mother in Baoying County, which belongs to Yangzhou Prefecture, settled the family affairs, and went to Beijing repeatedly to be an alternate in the Ministry of Industry.

It is very difficult to fill the vacancy, because there are more and more tricks to donate officials.In order to raise military salaries, they come up with various names to appeal. Often today is the highest priority shift, but tomorrow it will fall behind.Xue Fuchen has no money to donate, so he can only wait for the vacancy to be filled, just like Li Ciming, and spends a few taels of "printed silver" every month, struggling to survive. Although life is hard, there is plenty of free time. Xue Fuchen began to dabble in medical books at this time.His nature is that he is very dedicated, doesn't care about one thing, thinks hard, forgets to eat and sleep, and insists on dissecting doubts and doubts to see clearly.Therefore, after five or six years, I have read all the medical books intensively, mastered them well, and become a famous doctor who knows everything without a teacher.

Seeing that there is no hope of becoming an official, Xue Fuchen entered the shogunate of Huguang Governor Li Hanzhang with his family friends.The governor always has several "protection cases" every year, adding a name and a few good words, and it is easy to change from a doctor to a magistrate and distribute them to Shandong. At that time, the governor of Shandong Province was Ding Baozhen, and Xue Fuchen's youngest brother, Fubao, was in Ding Baozhen's shogunate. With this origin, promotion was easy. It is Jidong Taiwu Lindao.In the early years of Guangxu, his mother died of illness. As usual, Ding You kept the system and went to Beijing after three years of service.At this time, when I couldn't fill the vacancy and was preparing to retire, I got such an unexpected opportunity.

Li Deli had seen this resume in Li Hongzhang's original performance.Although he has the foundation of juren and has been a really lacking Taoist platform, but now he is recommended as a doctor, and he has an edict to conduct an examination first, so he will do his part and you don't need to be polite. Therefore, Li Deli "asked" for medical advice as an examiner.After some cross-examination, he retreated in spite of the difficulties, because Xue Fuchen understood everything he understood, and he didn't fully understand what Xue Fuchen understood. Although En Cheng didn't know medicine, it was obvious that his eyebrows were high and his eyes were low.The person being questioned made a statement calmly, but the person who asked the question was hesitant, as if he was not sure whether he should ask or not, so the depth of the two people's stomachs can be known without asking.

"Brilliant." En Chenggong interrupted them with his hand cupped, and turned to ask Li Deli again, "Look, do you want to ask for your pulse today?" "There is no need to be urgent." Li Deli said, "Xi Sheng's condition must be explained to Xue Guan first." Therefore, Li Deli and Xue Fuchen talked about the condition of Empress Dowager Cixi again in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.I don't know whether Li Deli deliberately "hidden his secrets" or he didn't have enough time. He could only tell the symptoms, but not the name of the disease.Xue Fuchen was quite confused, so he directly asked to read all the pulse records of Empress Dowager Cixi since she became ill.

"The pulse case is at the internal affairs office. Ask for the pulse tomorrow, and it's better for you to follow up with the boss face to face." Xue Fuchen also inquired about the rules of imperial physicians asking for pulse. The pulse case was transcribed and submitted on yellow paper as usual.With such suspicion, there is nothing to talk about.Xue Fuchen then asked when he would enter the palace the next day, and he was still accompanied by the accompanying committee members, and returned to the Xiheyan Inn to rest. The committee member, surnamed Hu, was an alternate magistrate. He was good at communication and knew people very well. Li Hongzhang specially assigned him to take care of him. Be perfunctory, let alone offend the eunuchs in the palace. It is Xue’s job to see a doctor, and it’s your job to greet and socialize. If you have any difficulties, you can ask Mr. Wang for advice.” So when he returned to the inn, he asked about the process of the interview. "Hmph!" Xue Fuchen sneered, "It's really annoying! They think I'm here to steal their jobs, and they are hostile everywhere, which is unreasonable! Let's see what happens tomorrow, if they make troubles, I have to ask you to go back and report to Zhongtang, which makes me unable to do it. " "Fu Gong, Fu Gong!" Hu Zhixian hurriedly persuaded, "You must be patient, I will try to untie it. This is the number one patient in Tianzi. Fu Gong has been studying this way for 20 years. How can you easily miss the opportunity that Zhan has learned all his life?" This sentence touched Xue Fuchen's heart, and he remained silent, which meant he agreed.Hu Zhixian appeased him, but he still had to run around.I found a friend from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and sent three red envelopes with bank notes inside, one big one was one thousand taels, and the other two small ones were two hundred taels.The younger one was sent to the caretakers of the inner court of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the eunuchs in the palace, Su La, and the older one was a tribute to Li Lianying, the chief executive of Changchun Palace. Early the next morning, Hu Zhixian accompanied Xue Fuchen to the gate of the palace, and someone was already there to welcome him.He brought Xue Fuchen into the court room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and saw that besides Li Deli, there were two other officials of the fourth and fifth ranks. After asking each other for advice, they realized that they were also imperial physicians, one was Zhuang Shouhe and the other was Li Dechang. Then, En Cheng also arrived, and hurriedly said: "Let's go! The superiors are calling." So Encheng led the way, Xue Fuchen was a Taoist of the third grade, so you don't need to be polite, followed closely behind, followed by Li Deli and others, walked along the shady place at the base of the wall of Xierchang Street, and went straight to Changchun Palace. It was the first time for Xue Fuchen to enter the deep palace, and it was also the first time to meet with the Empress Dowager. He was unavoidably trembling, and the weather in June 20th, even though it was eight o'clock in the morning, was very hot. Drenched.How can I diagnose the pulse with a calm heart?Thinking about the seriousness of the matter, he didn't hesitate to take the liberty, and said to Encheng two steps forward: "Master En, can you rest for a while, let me calm down and ask for pulse again?" "This..." Encheng replied hesitantly, "I can't follow orders, the superiors are waiting." Xue Fuchen had no choice but to try his best to breathe evenly, and followed into Changchun Palace. "Is this Master Xue?" A eunuch came up to meet him, pointing at Xue Fuchen and asked Encheng. When En Cheng confirmed it was correct, the eunuch led Xue Fuchen into the small room beside the hall, and En Cheng followed him.Before he could sit still, the bamboo curtain was lifted, and a tall eunuch walked in, with his head held high, En Chengxian greeted him with a smile.Of course Xue Fuchen guessed that this is Li Lianying, who is known as "Skinny Plum". "Hello, Mr. En!" Li Lianying greeted, pretending to greet her. "Lianying!" Encheng hurriedly supported him, and took advantage of the situation to hold his hand and asked, "How are you doing today?" "I'm in good spirits today. I heard that the person recommended by Li Zhongtang has arrived, and I've asked him several times." Then, he asked again: "This is Mr. Xue, right?" "Yes." Xue Fuchen agreed, "I am Xue Fuchen." "Master Xue, please come here, I have a few words to ask you." Pulling Xue Fuchen aside, he took care of him quietly, and he had to be careful in what he said. If he saw something, he had to be cautious. He also said that he would take special care of the person recommended by Li Hongzhang, and told Xue Fuchen not to be afraid. Although Xue Fuchen was an upright person, he had a general understanding of the situation in Beijing and knew that it was not just the power of a thousand taels of red envelopes, but Li Hongzhang must have gone the other way, so he would say such "self-sufficient words".With such powerful Austrian aid, there is no need to worry about Li Deli making troubles, and my heart is much more relaxed. After this period of ups and downs, it was equivalent to taking a good rest, Xue Fuchen's heart has settled down, and he followed En Cheng to meet. After the ceremony, he knelt down and waited for questioning. "Did you learn your medical skills from others, or did you read books and meetings by yourself?" Empress Dowager Cixi said in a low voice. "I have also consulted many famous doctors. However," Xue Fuchen replied, "I still have a lot of experience." "There are many schools of medicine, which school did you learn from?" "At first, I admired Huang Yuanyu. This man is from Shandong. He lost one eye because of a mistake in a quack doctor. He studied medicine angrily. He regarded himself very highly and indeed had insight. vitality." "Oh," Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "Have you seen a gynecologist?" "I have seen a lot." Xue Fuchen replied: "I am in Beijing, in Hubei, and in Shandong, serving as an official. If relatives, friends, and family members are sick, please ask me to see them." "So, you have a lot of experience." Empress Dowager Cixi said happily, "Check the pulse carefully for me, and treat it as you want, there is no need to be taboo." "yes!" The Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to want to ask something, but Li Lianying stopped her, "Buddha rest, please talk more." He bent his knees, raised his hands up flat, and pretended to hold things up, "Let Xue Fuchen take a pulse." !" So the Empress Dowager Cixi raised her right hand, and Li Lianying put her hands on the tea table, put her hands on the coffee table, put a small yellow satin pillow on it, covered it with a square of yellow silk, and then gestured to Xue Fuchen. Xue Fuchen kowtowed his head and got up, bowed his head and walked quickly for a few steps, knelt down to feel the pulse of Empress Dowager Cixi, pressed his right hand and left hand, kowtowed and said: "Your servant is bold! Look at the jade color." Empress Dowager Cixi didn't understand and asked Li Lianying, "What did he say?" Li Lianying didn't understand either, but he could guess, "Xue Fuchen wants to see Buddha's face!" He said. "Oh, yes!" Empress Dowager Cixi said again: "Open the curtain over there." Hearing this, Xue Fuchen kowtowed again, and when he stood up, the curtains on the east side had been raised, and the Empress Dowager Cixi's face could be seen very clearly. So Xue Fuchen looked up, but saw Empress Dowager Cixi's complexion was sallow, and her eye circles were blue.She was born with a long face, and because of her thinness, her cheekbones appeared higher, and her pair of piercing eyes gave her a majestic appearance.Xue Fuchen couldn't help but lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him. "Look at me, what is the disease?" "Look, smell, ask, cut" four words, Xue Fuchen already has three words, although what he heard is not true, but with only his three fingers and a pair of eyes, he is very good. The Empress Dowager Cixi went through a serious The blood collapse, but the medicine failed to treat the symptoms, and the weakness was extremely weak.Fortunately, I met myself, and now I can cure it, and it can be cured. Otherwise, those imperial doctors will still "cure the head for the headache, and treat the foot for the foot pain". . It's just that there are various reasons for blood collapse, and Li Deli never mentioned the word "Blood Leakage". I wonder if there is any taboo in it?Thinking of Li Lianying's warning again, he was even more afraid to tell the truth.After a little thought, she replied: "The empress dowager's disease lies in the liver and spleen. When the liver is hot, the gallbladder is also hot, so you can't sleep at night, and if the spleen doesn't work, the stomach will go against you, so you won't have an appetite." "What you said makes sense." Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "How should I treat it?" "The main thing is to subdue the adversity and balance." Xue Fuchen was afraid that the Empress Dowager Cixi would not understand the meaning of these four words, so he changed the saying, "It is necessary to invigorate the spleen and stop vomiting, so that the empress dowager can appetize." "That's right," the Empress Dowager Cixi praised deeply, "I can't stand what to eat and what to spit up. Go down and prescribe a prescription!" So Li Deli and others went on to ask for pulse.Xue Fuchen was led to the court room of the House of Internal Affairs to write pulse records and prescribe prescriptions.He concentrated and meditated, using pinellia, dried ginger, Sichuan pepper, longan, five-flavored leaves, and bamboo leaves as a guide.After writing, it is transcribed on yellow paper in a pen and post style, and it is immediately put into a yellow box and presented to the imperial court. Half an hour later, I saw Encheng coming with a yellow box, and asked as soon as they met: "Master Xue, your prescription does not match what you said in the previous recitation!" "Oh!" Xue Fuchen was a little nervous, "Master En, please tell me clearly, why is it inconsistent?" "You said that the empress dowager's liver is hot, and her gallbladder is also hot. How do you use hot medicine? Sichuan pepper, dried ginger, what hot medicine!" I see!Xue Fuchen felt relieved.He replied calmly: "Ginger has a wide range of effects, and can reconcile various medicines. In ancient prescriptions, almost all Xuantong tonics use ginger. It is combined with Pinellia, and it is the most important anti-vomiting agent. Sichuan pepper can pass through the triple burner, induce righteousness, and conduct heat. Going down. And it doesn’t matter if there are bamboo leaves as a primer.” Although he spoke clearly and logically, En Cheng just shook his head, "Master Xue!" He lowered his voice and said, "It's your first time working in the inner court, I'm afraid you don't understand the rules here, good medicine is another matter if it is bad, you can't It’s clear to praise and criticize. Some people say this prescription is too hot, and you say it’s okay, but after taking it, there are other problems, who can take responsibility?” Xue Fuchen understood that it was Li Deli and the others who were playing tricks.So he asked calmly: "Then, please ask Mr. En for instructions, what should I do?" "My boss told me to make a prescription together with the three imperial physicians. You should think about it later! Li Zhuoxuan and the others are coming down soon." When Li Deli stepped back, he showed another look towards Xue Fuchen, repeatedly praising him as "brilliant".Maybe it's because he really thinks he's brilliant, maybe it's because the Empress Dowager Cixi praised him, Xue Fuchen couldn't figure it out, so he could only be humble. Speaking of Fangzi, Li Deli said: "The superiors have told me that Jiangjiao must not be used. I don't know what Mr. Fuping's opinion is?" "Cultivating vitality is the main thing. The most urgent thing is to invigorate the spleen." Xue Fuchen said, "Today's first visit, I dare not hold on to prejudice." Li Deli was noncommittal, and turned to Zhuang Shouhe and Li Dechang: "The theory of invigorating the spleen, what do you think?" Zhuang Shouhe was more sincere, nodding his head in agreement, but Li Dechang's qualifications were still low, so he didn't dare to discuss it.So the purpose of invigorating the spleen is settled. ""In this case, how about adding Pinellia to the 'Four Gentlemen Soup'? " Li Deli has been prescribing medicines for the Empress Dowager Cixi in the past few months, and has been mainly using Sijunzi Decoction. Xue Fuchen understood his intentions, one was to show that he did not miss the medicine, and the other was to see the merits of Pinellia, so that the Four Gentlemen's Decoction could benefit from it.Fortunately, this is a very royal medicine, and it is not contrary to the treatment method of nourishing vitality, just a little modification is enough. So he said: "Very good, very good. However, it is better not to use ginseng for the time being." So I prescribed the four herbs of Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Zhilicorice, and pinellia.When it was sent up, a eunuch came to pass the decree: give a table of food. Accompanied by Encheng, they ate while talking about how to be on duty. "I'm afraid Master Xue is not clear about the rules and regulations of the inner court." Encheng said. Except for the imperial physician, Master Xue was the only one recommended to Beijing from other provinces. Please discuss with yourselves and set up a charter for the time being. Wait for people from all provinces to come, and then make sense. Xue Fuchen thought to himself, even if there are two people in a shift, and they are on duty every other day, how can they be able to reap the benefits if the medicines are inconsistent before and after?Now that you have been called, you will naturally have to do your best to live up to the Lord's kindness.So he replied without hesitation: "The empress dowager's illness is not serious. As a courtier, how dare she take time off? I will just serve you day and night!" "Okay! Master Xue, I really have you." En Chengqiao raised his thumb, and then asked Li Deli: "How about the three of you?" Li Deli had a sour taste, and blurted out: "Mr. Fuping is flattering you like this, we don't dare to be lazy! Naturally, we also wait on you day and night." "That's the rule. After dinner, I will send someone to go back with Mr. Xue to pick up the luggage." After dinner, Li Deli rushed to the imperial pharmacy to monitor the decoction, and Xue Fuchen went out of the palace and returned to the inn.As soon as he was seated, Encheng arrived in a large cart with a note from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and two Suras. After meeting each other, En Cheng pulled him aside, smiled and said quietly: "Master Xue, congratulations, congratulations!" "Oh!" Xue Fuchen didn't know how to answer. "Firstly, it's Li Zhongtang's face, and secondly, it's Mr. Li's care. The superiors praised you very much and said you are loyal! However," En Cheng showed a very sincere look, "Li Zhongtang has a letter for me, and I will treat you as my own." People, when serving in the inner court, modesty is always the most important thing, so don't sweep Li Zhuoxuan's face too much." This was a good intention, but Xue Fuchen couldn't help feeling annoyed while thanking him.Consciously full of economics, without seeing the spread, now I feel aggrieved by using "fang skills" to ask for favors, who knows that I will have to bend myself to others, it is really boring to think about it. A few days later, another person recommended to come to Beijing arrived.This person was protected by Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Shanxi Province. His name was Wang Shouzheng, his style name was Zichang, and he was from Hangzhou.The Wang family started their business as a classic business, known as "Wang Wanwan".During the Qianlong period, Wang's "Zhenqi Hall" and Ningbo Fan's "Tianyi Pavilion" were two well-known book collectors in the west and east of Zhejiang. One of the most famous members of the Wang family is Wang Yuansun, whose style name is Xiaomi. He inherited the lingering charm of Qianjia, received guests widely, and liked to engrave books.This Wang Shouzheng is Wang Xiaomi's nephew, who was born in the magistrate of the donated class, distributed in Henan, made up for the real shortage, and is quite talented.Later, he was transferred to Shanxi, where he was appreciated by Zeng Guoquan. He was transferred from Yu Township, Jian County, to Pingyao, a first-class county, and then transferred to Yangqu, which is the first county of Taiyuan Prefecture and the first county of Shanxi Province. Those who are in charge of the county are really officials, and they can't do it, so it's miserable.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a magistrate of Yangqu County named Song Quan, who often said: "If you were not good in your previous life, you will be a magistrate in this life; The first county is equivalent to the "counter" and "housekeeper" of the governor, general, and supervisor. Weddings and funerals are festive, and the first county is responsible for sending them to and welcoming them.It is not an easy task to serve the color of a nobleman. In addition to contributing money, you also have to be angry, so it is said that "the evil is full, and the provincial capital is attached to the country". However, those with long sleeves and good dancers will be able to become officials, and being the first county is a very exciting thing, so there is a first cross decree: "One is red; second is Yuanrong; third is Passepartout; Said not to be afraid of big losses; sixth said to be the best general in Go; seventh said the disciples of Liyuan to worship diligently; eighth said to dress neatly and speak calmly; ninth said to praise the Lord’s kindness and constitutional virtues; tenth said the guests were always full and the wine bottle was not empty.” Wang Shouzheng is well-equipped, plus he is proficient in medical science. He is the most capable person in Shanxi Province.Now being recommended by Zeng Guoquan to see a doctor for Empress Dowager Cixi is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune.He had already calculated that if he was cured well, he would definitely be promoted. If he didn't see it well, he might as well resign himself because it would be impossible for him to return to his post anyway. So when he was called to Beijing, he went as far as he could, with a considerable amount of luggage. When we arrived at Chongwenmen in the capital, we checked customs and collected taxes as usual.When others heard that it was "Master Wang" from Shanxi, they couldn't help but be surprised. Shanxi has experienced years of drought, so why is Wang Shouzheng's eunuch so rich?Some people said that he made a lot of money doing relief work, and some people said that he was originally a rich family, which is not surprising.No matter what, the demeanor of the angry horse in the fresh clothes and the self-satisfied demeanor are not the same as Xue Fuchen, but it is a fact that is obvious to all. After entering the city, he first went to the palace gate to pay his respects, and then received the same treatment as Xue Fuchen. He was "examined" by Li Deli in the House of Internal Affairs, and was going to enter the palace to ask for his pulse the next day. After leaving the palace and returning to the inn, Wang Shouzheng was packing presents and visiting guests separately. Zeng Guoquan wrote more than a dozen letters for him and entrusted them to the elders in Beijing to take care of them.In addition, there are two important people who must be worshipped, one is Li Deli and the other is Xue Fuchen. After inquiring, Li and Xue are both on duty in the inner court, so they won't be able to see each other today.Wang Shouzheng had no choice but to inquire about Li Deli's apartment and sent someone to post a greeting.At the same time, I sent a red envelope with "Bing Jing" written on the outside and two hundred taels of silver notes inside. Unexpectedly, when the follower posted a post and returned to the inn, the Li family sent four dishes, and then Li Deli came to pay respects.When they met and greeted each other, they were very affectionate. Wang Shouzheng made a special apology, saying that because he was on duty in the inner court, he did not visit in person, which was very rude. "Don't dare, dare not!" Li Deli clasped his hands and replied: "The inner court is on duty overnight, and there will be a day when he will be released home. Today is just my brother's turn to stop work. It is a pleasure to meet you." "What a pleasure to meet you! For twenty years, I have admired the name of 'Emperor Li' for a long time. Once the wish of knowing the thorns is fulfilled, I will truly be happy for the rest of my life. No matter what, I must ask for advice." So Wang Shouzheng left him to drink.One is for the sake of two hundred taels of silver, and the other is that he has a heart to make money so as to fight against Xue Fuchen, so Li Deli is willing to give up.Drinking wine in front of the lamp, the conversation was quite speculative. Naturally, this talk has to do with Empress Dowager Li Deli's intention to betray Xue Fuchen.In front of Wang Shouzheng, he has no reservations.However, his knowledge is really limited, no more than what Xue Fuchen can perceive with a pair of eyes and three fingers. But in Wang Shouzheng, the benefit has been considerable, what needs to be understood at this moment is how Xue Fuchen prescribes the medicine? "Speaking of it, it's unique. Mr. Fuping used ginger pepper, and said it was an ancient recipe. Even Xisheng himself thought it was inappropriate, so he finally drew up another recipe." After he explained the two prescriptions that Xue Fuchen drew up for the first pulse, and the fact that he still focused on invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi in the past few days, Wang Shouzheng understood that Xue Fuchen was indeed brilliant.At the same time, it is also expected that Xue Fuchen must have known the root cause of Empress Dowager Cixi's illness, but the pulse case refused to disclose it. "Mr. Fuping first learned from Huang Kunzai, but he can get in and out, and he can get peace by studying various schools." Wang Shouzheng also said, "His learning is generally based on Dongyuan, and naturally he focuses on warming and nourishing." This is Wang Shouzheng's honesty.Li Dongyuan is one of the four great masters of Jin and Yuan. He is a son of a rich family in Hebei. , become the "warming and tonic" school, and the emphasis is on the spleen family.The Empress Dowager Cixi was ill for a long time and suffered from deficiency of both qi and blood. Starting from invigorating the spleen, the diet can gradually return to normal, nourishing the vitality and replenishing qi, and the metrorrhagia can be stopped naturally. This is an excellent cure. Therefore, Wang Shouzheng made up his mind that he had to cooperate with Xue Fuchen in order to see success.However, Li Deli's dissatisfaction with him was palpable, and his plans must not be revealed.In order to hope that this person will not hold back, he has to put in a lot of perfunctory work. It was a happy night.When he entered the palace early the next morning, the imperial chambers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs gathered together. When he saw Xue Fuchen, he was afraid that Li Deli would be suspicious and dare not be too affectionate.As soon as he asked for the pulse, he felt that Xue Fuchen was right when he started. In addition to invigorating the spleen, he also needed to moisten the lungs. At the same time, he also felt that ginseng could be used, so he prescribed a dose of ginseng and Ophiopogon japonicus, which is similar to warming and nourishing. agent. Fang Zi presented that the "grace" he received was the same as that of Xue Fuchen. He was given a table of meals, accompanied by En Cheng to finish the meal, and then moved his luggage into the inner court for overnight stay.It is an empty house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the same courtyard as Xue Fuchen, facing each other from north to south. Wang Shouzheng only sent a few medical books to the visitors, but they were all extremely refined editions.The most valuable is a Ming version, engraved in the Wanli period, which is the first edition of Li Shizhen's famous work.It turned out to be Wang Shouzheng's whereabouts, and he was by his side, but now he resolutely parted with her. Xue Fuchen refused to accept it, but Wang Shouzheng was sincere but disrespectful.The acceptance was accepted, and I felt that the boss was sorry, and wanted to make up for it, but I was by the side of the guest, and there was no way to do it, so I could only keep thanking him.Of course, with this kind of friendship, there is a feeling of hit-time. In the middle of the night, Xue Fuchen played go scores by himself under the lamp, but Wang Shouzheng came unexpectedly.This time I'm here to talk about the condition of Empress Dowager Cixi. "Mr. Xue!" He is older than Xue Fuchen, but his title is very humble. "Since the word metrorrhagia is taboo on it, it must be given a disease name." He said, "Someone asked, why is Sheng Gong so disturbed? What is the disease? Could it be? Also like that group of imperial doctors, who hesitated?" "That's right!" Xue Fuchen pondered for a while and replied, "Sickness can also be regarded as 'bone steaming'." Wang Shouzheng nodded: "That's right! I also think it can be said to be steamed into bones. With a word from Mr. Xue, it is considered an appraisal. " "Brother Zichang, you are too modest." Xue Fuchen felt slightly uneasy. "I really want to ask Mr. Xue for guidance and support." "Guide" may be a polite word, but "support" is Xue Fuchen's willingness.Therefore, on the second day, Xue Fuchen supported Wang Shouzheng's opinion and continued to use ginseng and Ophiopogon japonicus to formulate a prescription.
