Chapter 618 Half a Bottle of Vinegar "I'll take my leave first and go back to prepare the medicine right away." Zuo Shaoyang stood up, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Is Ma Zhou the prime minister?" When he participated in the imperial examination, Ma Zhou was next to Zuo Shaoyang, because there was no The stove made his fingers stiff from the cold, and he could not hold a pen or write an answer sheet. He was so anxious that he cried. It was Zuo Shaoyang who gave him a stove, and the two became friends. Later, Ma Zhou was hired as the vice president of the Barefoot Foundation. After Zuo Shaoyang left the capital, the two lost contact. The emperor shook his head sadly and said: "Ma Qing did a great job with the Barefoot Foundation. I admire him very much and made him the prime minister. But he died of illness last year and he was still talking about you before he died." Zuo Shaoyang couldn't help but be stunned. , I didn¡¯t expect that during the fifteen years of my absence, my poor friend Ma Zhou also passed away. Sighing, he picked up the consultation box and left the palace. Outside the door, Queen Changsun and others were waiting. When they saw Zuo Shaoyang, they all came up to him with concern in their eyes. Zuo Shaoyang said: "The emperor's illness is very critical and he must receive correct treatment as soon as possible. I will go back and boil the medicine now and come to deliver it to the emperor twice a day. The emperor has agreed that I will boil the medicine and give it to him directly. Others don't want it. Intervene. In addition, I have agreed with the emperor to stop taking all the imperial elixirs and other medicines. I hope the emperor has already agreed. Being able to supervise the emperor is related to the safety of the emperor's dragon body, which is not a trivial matter." Queen Changsun and others nodded frequently and asked: "Is there anything wrong with the imperial elixir?" "The emperor's illness was caused by these elixirs. Yes, do you think there is any problem?" Everyone looked at each other, and they did not believe that there would be any problem with the elixir made by the national master. But after hearing the miracle doctor emphasize so much, they all nodded in agreement. Zuo Shaoyang also asked Eunuch Luo to give the emperor the raw egg whites and other therapeutic items he usually eats. Then, the emperor called Eunuch Luo in and asked him to arrange guards to protect Zuo Shaoyang and the Zuo family. Eunuch Luo hurriedly called the Ouchi guards to make arrangements. During this period, Zuo Shaoyang told his apprentice Du Ming to take good care of the emperor. When the emperor's condition stabilized, he would visit his wife and several junior brothers and sisters at home. The guards moved very quickly. Five guards with high martial arts skills would disguise themselves as servants and follow Zuo Shaoyang for personal protection. In fact, the ambush guard Luo Gonggong made other arrangements. With these five guards, Zuo Shaoyang rode on the donkey, swung his little whip, and left the palace gate. Zuo Shaoyang rode his donkey home. Zuo Gui's father and others came over to ask how the situation was. Zuo Shaoyang naturally wouldn't say anything about the emperor's physical condition. You can't talk nonsense about it. When designing the drug store, a three-suite pharmacy with one light and two dark was designed for Zuo Shaoyang. There is a special medicine cabinet for common medicines, as well as new medicines that were only available after the Tang Dynasty that he planted in his back garden and in Hezhou. At the same time, there is also a room specially used for decoction, with casseroles and fires available. The other is a fully equipped processing room. Zuo Shaoyang arranged for two of the five guards to be responsible for guarding this specialized pharmacy. Because from now on the emperor will be dispensing medicine here. You have to make sure nothing goes wrong. The pharmacy door is usually locked, and he is the only one who holds the lock. Zuo Shaoyang picked the medicine and boiled it alone in the house, then put it in a sand jar. Under the protection of the remaining three imperial guards, he rode a donkey back to Li Shimin's palace in the palace. After giving Li Shimin the medicine himself, Zuo Shaoyang left the palace and returned home. Many relatives and friends, including Mr. Qiao, Qiao Guan, Zhu Medicine Cabinet, Shopkeeper Bao, Qu Ming, the Qu family, the Zhen family, etc. learned that the Zuo family had returned to the capital and came to visit. After fifteen years, Zuo Shaoyang's original anger has subsided a lot, and he can understand the helplessness of these people who were far away from their own families in trouble, so he also came out to say hello. Master Qiao is already old, Qu Xing is even more dim-sighted, and Qiao Guan has become a member of the Ministry of Justice. During the conversation, I learned that the old miracle doctor Xu Yinzong had passed away. The old miracle doctor Zhen's brothers have also passed away one after another. Zhen's Medical Clinic is now in charge of Zhen Quan's eldest son, Zhen Xuan. Zhen Quan¡¯s great-granddaughter Zhen Yao is already married. Peng Bing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, suffered from hemiplegia due to a stroke a few years ago, and now he has returned to his hometown to recuperate. Zuo Shaoyang¡¯s top pick, Qu Ming, got the emperor¡¯s appreciation last time because he brought Zuo Shaoyang in to resolve the crisis of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and has been promoted to the sixth rank of Living Room Master. Qiu Yihu, who was ranked second on the list, became a ninth-grade assistant teacher at the Imperial Medical Office with the help of Qu Ming. Although Zuo Shaoyang, the only one in the Three Tripods, is now a commoner, both of them know that Zuo Shaoyang is the emperor's favorite, the uncrowned king, so Baba came to curry favor with him. Father Zuo Gui is very happy. The more people come, the happier he is, because he is now a third-grade official. He never dreamed that one day he would?Becoming such a high-ranking official, even though he was just a casual official with no position, no rights and only salary, had made him unable to sleep for several nights in a row. Now relatives and friends come to visit, and their flattering words are endless, which makes him smile even more. Zuo Shaoyang opened the drug store early the next morning. The opening of the drug store was different from other businesses. There were no lights and decorations, and no fanfare. Nor do they invite friends to hold banquets to celebrate. Just clean the house and put up a plaque. A few children had already cleaned the drug store. Early that morning, they followed their father to open the door, and it was considered open for business. Of course, the lintel is still empty, waiting for the emperor to write a plaque. Among the seven children of the Zuo family, the eldest son Zuo Wenning, the eldest daughter Zuo Wenzhi, and the third daughter Zuo Wenxue do not study medicine. The other four are studying medicine. Zuo Shaoyang assigns tasks, and the second son Zuo Wenjing and the legitimate son Zuo Wenyuan stand. The medicine cabinet is responsible for picking medicines. His youngest son Zuo Wenshan sat with him for consultation. The second daughter, Zuo Wenxi, took prescriptions and mainly looked at gynecology. His concubines Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan were his surgical assistants and were responsible for arranging the surgery. Zuojiaxin Guizhitang's facade is not very big, but there is a dedicated inpatient department at the back, which is something that other pharmacies and medical clinics do not have. In addition to the common medicines, the medicine cabinet in the drug store outside also has a special medicine cabinet that contains Zuo Shaoyang's new medicines. The medicines were kept in a separate room. Guizhitang opened its doors without notifying anyone. It was opened quietly, so no one except the neighbors knew about it. It has been fifteen or sixteen years since the Zuo family left the capital. Zuo Shaoyang's fame was also created at Southeast Medical Center and Barefoot Medical Center. Guizhitang had never opened, so few people in the capital knew the name of Guizhitang. In ancient times, when communications were underdeveloped, the spread of news was also difficult. It was very slow, so when it opened in the morning, it was almost noon, and no one came to see a doctor. ??The neighbor of Zuo¡¯s family came to help with the opening. This neighbor actually came to visit. He hadn¡¯t seen the door open for fifteen or six years. Now it has finally opened. Come and see the excitement. The neighbors are two middle-aged people. Fifteen years ago, they still remembered the scene when the Zuo family was taken away by the government. Of course, they didn¡¯t know what happened afterwards. They thought the Zuo family had suffered a big ordeal, and they sympathized with it. They came over to take a look. Look. Zuo Shaoyang was very happy. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so he quickly personally greeted the old couple to sit down and chat. The old man¡¯s surname was Li. The old couple used to be neighbors of the Zuo family. They knew that Zuo Shaoyang used to be a medical doctor, and later became a doctor at the Imperial Medical Office. Later, he opened a barefoot medical clinic to treat the poor for free, but later he got unlucky. , the family was locked up by the government, and although they were later released, Zuo Langzhong was imprisoned, and no one knows what happened after that. He must have been in trouble for many years, so he kept persuading Zuo Shaoyang, saying that there were many unsatisfactory things in life, and now that he opened a drug store, he would slowly make his family prosperous. The old woman just squinted her eyes and said little, but her face was full of smiles. Zuo Shaoyang was very moved. He looked at the old lady's eyes, stroked his black beard and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with your eyes?" Old lady Li and his wife had known Zuo Shaoyang's family for more than ten years. She is still very young, and the child is already over ten or twenty years old, so it is absolutely right to call her sister-in-law. He hurriedly agreed: "Yes, in the past two years, my eyes can't see clearly. It's better in the house. But when I go out in the sun, my eyes can't be opened. They feel dry and astringent. I've seen many doctors but they can't see clearly." " Zuo Shaoyang said: "If my sister-in-law is willing, you can let my son take a look at it for you. His medical skills are pretty good. " Mrs. Li said hurriedly: "Okay, we are here to take a look at this eye disease. "Yes. Let's take a look." Zuo Shaoyang waved his son Zuo Wenyuan over. There were no other patients in the pharmacy, and several children gathered around to watch the excitement. The second son Zuo Wenjing saw Zuo Wenshan seriously checking his pulse and looking at his tongue, so he smiled and said: "Do you need to look at it? It's obviously wind and fire. Just use clearing heat and purging the excess." Zuo Wenxi shook his head and said: "I don't think so, if It's so simple. Other doctors have already cured it. Haven't you heard that the old man has been cured by many doctors?" "Then what do you think it is?" Zuo Wenjing was not convinced. "According to me, the old man's body and bones are weak. He should replenish his qi and blood. If his qi and blood are replenished, his eye disease will naturally be cured!" Zuo Wenjing said to his father Zuo Shaoyang: "Dad, which one of us is right?" Zuo Shaoyang smiled but did not answer, and looked at his legitimate son Zuo Wenyuan: "What's your opinion?" Zuo Wenyuan saw that Zuo Shaoyang's expression clearly did not agree with the two opinions, so he smiled and said: "The old man's disease is really weird. It looks like wind-fire eye, but it is really too simple. Other doctors should be able to cure it, but if it has not been cured for many years, it must not be the cause of wind-fire eye. " After Zuo Wenshan's examination, Zuo Shaoyang decided. After asking the other three children to check their pulse and tongue, they said: "NowWhat do you think? " The three of them all realized that Zuo Shaoyang disagreed with their views, so they couldn't say it anymore. The youngest son Zuo Wenshan pondered for a moment and said: "The old man has a yellow complexion and poor physical condition. His white eyes are slightly red but not swollen, and his pulse is off. Weak, this is not an acute wind-fire eye, which cannot clear away heat and purge excess, nor can it replenish qi and blood, but an imbalance of overall nutrition and health. The disharmony of qi and blood affects the eyes, causing the eyes to malfunction. " Zuo Shaoyang nodded slowly: "Wenshan looked at it carefully and found the cause of the disease very accurately. What medicine should be used? " " Guizhi soup! Zuo Wenshan said slowly. Hahaha Zuo Wenjing and Zuo Wenxi both laughed, but Zuo Wenyuan, the legitimate son, did not laugh. Although he was ready to laugh at first, the moment he laughed, he saw Seeing the look of approval in their father's eyes, Zuo Wenjing and Zuo Wenxi immediately stopped smiling, but Zuo Wenjing laughed so hard: "My father admires you so much, but you don't bring glory to my father, - everyone knows Guizhi. The soup is used to treat Taiyang stroke syndrome, but you use it to treat eye diseases, which is really pretentious. Hahaha." Zuo Wenshan didn't laugh or feel ashamed. He just sat there quietly. Zuo Shaoyang waited for them to finish laughing before asking: "Tell me, Guizhi Decoction, in addition to treating Taiyang Stroke Syndrome, Where else can it be used? " Zuo Wenjing thought for a while and said: "It can also be used to express symptoms of persistent sweating and unresolved symptoms. Zuo Wenxi said: "I remember it seems that it can also cure the disharmony between the camp and the guards." "Very good!" Zuo Shaoyang nodded, "Wenshan has already said before that the old man's disease cannot clear away heat and relieve excess, nor can it replenish qi. Blood, because the old man's disease is caused by imbalance of overall nutrition and blood, which affects the eyes. Therefore, using Guizhi Decoction is the most basic and commonly used prescription. Your grandfather used it. You are famous for being good at using cinnamon twigs. This is where our name Gui Zhi Tang comes from. However, you two have not even understood this basic prescription. You have learned without thinking. A half-full bottle of vinegar makes a ding-dong sound. It requires hard work. Ah." Zuo Wenjing and Zuo Wenxi blushed and lowered their heads. At that moment, Zuo Wenshan prescribed medicine. Mrs. Li only took three doses of medicine, and her eyes returned to normal. Everyone said that Zuo Langzhong's youngest son was amazing. He was only ten years old and his medical skills were already as good as gods. Zuo Shaoyang originally told Emperor Li Shimin that his medicine shop would be opened on the third day, but he opened it on the second day. On the third day, Eunuch Luo came with the royal band beating gongs, drums, silk and bamboo to present the plaque, but he saw Zuo Shaoyang. There were already people in the pharmacy asking for help, and they were very surprised. Without explaining, Zuo Shaoyang brought a ladder and asked his two sons to carry the "Guizhitang" plaque written by the emperor and hang it on the lintel of the medicine shop. A few days after the opening, the number of patients coming to Guizhitang for medical treatment began to increase. After all, Zuo Shaoyang was once famous throughout the capital, especially for his thoracotomy and laparotomy healing techniques, and the aconite tablets he prepared, which have been widely used. Once it was known that his family opened a medicine shop and he sat in the hall for consultation, and the emperor personally inscribed the name on the plaque, the news spread like wings. It spread from ten to ten, and the number of people who came to see him doubled. Soon I had to get a number and queue up. Except for Zuo Shaoyang, who prepared medicine for the emperor twice a day and delivered it to the palace, he spent the rest of the time sitting in the hospital for consultations. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and after only taking the medicine for half a month, Emperor Li Shimin's illness had fundamentally improved. His illness was caused by poisoning, and Zuo Shaoyang had more than 20 years of experience in treating lead and mercury poisoning. Doctors with medical experience are still very confident. ro [Chapter 618 Half a Bottle of Vinegar - Lover's Pavilion ]! !
