Chapter 1989 Doctors treat people, patients suffer from heart


    Jingzhou.


    Xiangyang.


    Spring should be lively and bustling, so Xiangyang has gradually become bustling and bustling...


    Some things can be covered up, and some things, even if they are covered up, will still show their legs.


    Liu Biao''s illness is that his horse''s legs are exposed, black with hair, at least three.


    Although Zhang Ji can use acupuncture to unblock the blood and activate the veins, and stimulate Liu Biao''s internal functions, the so-called medicine stone must naturally take medicine first, especially for the elderly like Liu Biao, it is impossible to use acupuncture for all of them. No medicine at all.


    So, the more times, the more it will be clear. After all, things like acupuncture and moxibustion can be used repeatedly. Naturally, these medicinal materials need to be used once and consumed once...


    『Excuse me sir, XX…」 Halfway through speaking, Liu Biao coughed twice, 『How many days does XX have? 』


    Zhang Ji looked at the needle in his hand, and did not look at Liu Biao. After the silver needle was pierced, he said slowly: "The body of the emperor is weak in the internal organs. You should rest more inside, worry less and anger outside. Warming, tonifying and nourishing yin, eliminating pathogenic factors and strengthening the body, can also prolong life...』


    『... You should focus on recuperating, worrying less and getting angry...』 Liu Biao lowered his eyelids and repeated in a low voice.


    Zhang Ji nodded, "Exactly. 』


    Liu Biao fell silent.


    Old people like to be quiet. This is mostly caused by the body. One is that the energy cannot keep up, and the other is that even if the heart is more than enough, the strength is not enough. But how could Liu Biao calm down?


    In these years, in which year Liu Biao was able to be quiet?


    Jingzhou is like a low dark river, invisible but turbulent, with countless eddies, if you are not careful, you will be swallowed in it, and then there will be no bones left.


    After Zhang Ji''s diagnosis and treatment, he cleaned up and left.


    Liu Biao looked up at the sky after someone sent Zhang Ji away.


    If there is a BGM at this time, it should play "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years".


    It can be said that any person in power, after taking a high position, will inevitably have such thoughts. If he can borrow a few more years, let alone five hundred years, fifty years, or even five years...


    Before, Liu Biao used himself as bait to catch Jingxiang, because Liu Biao still thought he could do it at that time. It''s like most people still feel that they are in good health when they are sixty years old. How can they be different from young people?


    But the next year will not be as good as the next year. These days, Liu Biao really feels that he is not good enough.


    When sitting, the legs are cold, as if the feet are placed on ice cubes. Even if they are covered with a heavy fur, they will still feel cold, and they will feel a slight chill, spreading from the legs and feet, over the knees, Climb up the thigh, invade the waist and abdomen...


    Sometimes, Liu Biao couldn''t help but look down at his feet, wondering if he was already standing in the underworld, which is why he was so cold. If you move, you won’t feel cold anymore, but your lungs can’t stand it, and when you move a little, you’ll cough, and your chest and throat will be whirring, as if a broken bellows is plugged in. If you can’t breathe for a while, you will He was so suppressed that his complexion turned purple and he almost fainted.


    There is also back pain, which seems to remind Liu Biao all the time that your time is running out...


    So now Liu Biao dare not talk about his body anymore, because this time, he knows that it is really bad.


    But Liu Biao still wants to live.


    really want.


    The more he felt the approach of death, the stronger Liu Biao''s desire to live.


    Not only for myself, but also for my children.


    Sometimes, Liu Biao would carefully summarize and think about a series of things after he arrived in Jingzhou, whether he did not do well, or that place was delayed, so Jingzhou is like this today. Can''t go up, can''t go down...


    But the problem is, there is no such thing! Liu Biao did not rest for a day, nor did he slack off for a day!


    When he first arrived in Jingxiang, Liu Biao had only two or three entourages, and he didn''t have a single soldier on his hands. He borrowed from the local nobles in Jingzhou and swallowed up the chief thief, so that he could have some family fortune. Is there a waste of time in this? No.


    Later, he married Cai''s family and got Pang''s family. Using Kuai''s family and Huang Zu''s was the only way to truly gain a firm foothold. When the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao actually didn''t have much control. If it wasn''t for the support of the nobles in Jingzhou, Liu Biao''s orders would not even be able to go out of the government office. Therefore, Liu Biao didn''t want to raise his troops to gain righteousness. leave.


    Then the Alliance of Disputes and Dong fell apart. Sun Jian coveted the land of Jingzhou and acted as Yuan Shu''s running dog, and the war continued. In the end, Yuan Shu was defeated, but there was another storm in Nanjun, and he was busy suppressing the rebellion. After Nanjun was pacified, he looked back and saw that Fei Qian had already established himself in Guanzhong, and Cao Cao had established a foothold in Yuzhou...


    It’s not that Liu Biao is unambitious, and it’s not that he has been waiting for the Sun family to make trouble before passively coping with it. Liu Biao also secretly sent troops into Yuzhang, planning to give Sun a monkey to steal peaches, but was slapped back by Sun Ce. Liu Biao even kept an eye on Jiaozhou and sent Wu Ju to Cangwu County to confront Shi Xie.


    There are also small actions such as Yizhou, etc., all of which show that Liu Biao is not without ambition.


    『Oh…』 Liu Biao sighed, 『If Liu Xuande had...ε=(ο｀*))) Oh…』


    At the beginning when the Cai family targeted Liu Bei, Liu Biao didn''t stop him and pretended not to see it. In fact, he had already planned in his heart that if the Cai family killed Liu Bei, he could take revenge for Liu Bei, and then accept Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Get rid of Cai Mao...


    If it can be achieved, then I have Gan Ning in the navy and Zhang on land, so the great cause can naturally be displayed in a grand way! It''s a pity that Liu Bei seemed to see through, and then he naturally closed the Zhang Zhang and became wary of himself. In desperation, he instructed him to follow Liu Qi to Sichuan.


    In a trance, Liu Biao suddenly remembered the first time he saw Hussar General Fei Qian...


    『If you want to achieve a great cause, you can do three things. ’Liu Biao suddenly smiled wryly, that’s right, in fact, Fei Qian said what to do back then, but as for himself, ‘I haven’t cleaned my face completely, I haven’t strengthened my body, I haven’t prepared my energy yet...the prescription has been opened, but a certain person hasn’t. Use it all, what can I do...what can I do for it...』


    『Come on! ”Liu Biao took a deep breath, trying to straighten his waist, and said, “Go and pass on the second son! 』Although I made a mistake, I have gained these experiences after all, and these experiences may allow my children to avoid some detours, stand higher and walk faster than myself!


    Liu Cong is here.


    In fact, Liu Cong doesn''t like coming here, just like he doesn''t like reading scriptures either. There is always a faint smell here, or something else, which makes Liu Cong feel uncomfortable, just like the scriptures are basically boring, not as interesting and fun as warm and fragrant nephrite.


    It''s just that Liu Cong can pretend.


    So Liu Cong stepped forward respectfully, first expressed his concern about Liu Biao''s health, and then asked Liu Biao why he called him over.


    Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong, took a slow breath, pointed to the side, and asked casually, "What were you doing just now?" 』


    『Go back to your father...』 Liu Cong said, 『The child is reading a book...』


    『Oh, what book have you read? ’ asked Liu Biao. She is full of makeup and powder, without the smell of ink scrolls, how can she be reading a book?


    During this period of time, Liu Biao''s body has been ups and downs, good and bad. Of course, most of the time is relatively bad, so there is basically no time to take care of Liu Cong. Now that Liu Cong still talks about reading, naturally I want to ask a few more questions.


    "This..." Liu Cong rolled his eyes twice, "My child is watching Zuo Zhuan..."


    『Zuo Zhuan is good...』Liu Biao nodded, approving Zuo Zhuan, 『…Yan Zi stood outside Cui’s gate. The man said, "Are you dead?"...What is the meaning of this? 』


    "what? ’Liu Cong froze for a moment, ‘My child, this, that...haven’t read this far yet...’


    Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong, and was about to say something, but coughed, and then the affected area on his back was also painful, which made Liu Biao give up his original idea of ??investigating Liu Cong''s knowledge. After breathing for a while, he said, "Forget it." It''s gone...Go back and take a good look...I called you here today because my father has some insights, and I will pass it on to you...』


    "Entering Jingzhou for my father, I will be a wealthy family, and I will be defeated by a wealthy family..." Liu Biao''s voice was hoarse and low, "Borrowing the power of Jingxiang''s wealthy family, I was able to get between Jiang and Han for my father, but I also lost my lightness. Forget it, you haven''t got a good talent..."


    Liu Biao thought of Fei Qian, thought of Huang Zhong, thought of many people, couldn''t help but close his eyes, sighed, gasped a few times, "...remember, if you are rich, you can live, but if you are poor, you will die together!" 』


    If it weren’t for the support of the wealthy family, Liu Biao would not be able to gain a firm foothold in Jingxiang, but it was precisely because the wealthy family blocked it, so no matter what Liu Biao did, it was actually lacking, and he did not fall to the bottom. Fei Qian once said that he needed to "clean his face", but Liu Biao only "cleaned his face" at the level of the Jingxiang gentry, and did not make the lower class feel any changes, because the people who collected taxes and supervised labor were still the same people. , the original family...


    As for "strengthening the body" and "gathering momentum", the same is true. Liu Biao established the Taixue, but he only paid attention to those who were already famous, but did not pay attention to the less famous but talented people and offshoots. Many things are floating on the surface, not sinking, so Liu Biao has gone wrong and slowed down the path that should have been correct.


    Now, Liu Biao can''t wait to give Liu Cong all his insights, but after all, he has been ill for a long time, and when he speaks, he coughs and wheezes, intermittently, and somewhat confused, Liu Cong opened his eyes wide , seems to be very focused, listening very attentively, nodding from time to time to echo, indicating that I heard, understood, understood...


    Liu Biao was suffering from illness. After receiving Zhang Ji''s acupuncture medicine stone, the extra energy he gained was quickly consumed, and he became a little uncomfortable. In order not to expose his ugly face, he had no way to study Liu Cong. After listening for a few minutes, he let Liu Cong go down first.


    Liu Cong returned to his courtyard, Little Cai quickly stepped forward to help Liu Cong change his robe, and asked softly, "My lord father called you, but what''s the matter?" 』


    『Well... nothing important...』 Liu Cong said indifferently, "It''s just some old tunes..." Why does father Liu Biao always mention some past events? It''s been four years since Taixing! What''s the point of talking about Zhongping and Yanping all day long?


    It''s really nagging and long-winded...


    So boring.


    …o(￢￢￢)o…


    But said that Zhang Ji was escorted by Liu Biao''s guards, and went round and round back to the City Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.


    Well, I heard that after Fei Qian built a hundred medical clinics in Chang''an, Liu Biao also built one, so he put Zhang Ji in it openly, and it was convenient to cover up his illness.


    As soon as Zhang Ji walked into the hospital, he heard an angry roar from inside the hospital: "Bold madman! He even uttered lies! Could it be that we are nothing! 』


    Zhang Ji frowned, turned around the screen, and saw that some people had already gathered in the courtyard. Standing at the top is a "famous doctor". It is said that he has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods and shake the world. He is also surnamed Zhang and a famous businessman.


    Standing in front of the famous doctor Zhang Shang, kneeling under the steps is a student studying. Zhang Ji had met him a few times, and knowing that his parents died of the disease, he determined to study medicine. His experience was somewhat similar to Zhang Ji himself, so he paid attention to it, and sometimes gave advice.


    But just because Zhang Ji called this student, it doesn’t mean that Zhang Ji will accept him as an apprentice. After all, doctors in the Han Dynasty were very cautious when accepting apprentices. It is also common to inspect the conduct of apprentices for more than ten years. Virtue is always the focus of inspection, sometimes even more important than talent.


    『In the medical clinic, there are so many talented people, when will it be your turn to speak nonsense? Ok? Zhang Shang pointed to the student who was studying, frothing, "I asked you to cut and grind the medicinal materials, but to make you clear the nature of the medicine!" Practicing medicine in the future, knowing the principles of medicine, will not delay the illness and kill people! You actually ignored our good intentions, uttered wild words, judged and complained! How reasonable is this? ! 』


    『When we practice medicine, we all need to know the properties of medicines before we can prescribe the right medicine to cure diseases. When we were studying medicine, we made medicines by ourselves, worked hard, and never dared or complained! It should be known that medical affairs are life-threatening! 』


    『Where do you complain? As the saying goes, a snake swallows an elephant, how big is it? If you are talented, you will have a day to practice medicine! Since you are now ordered to concoct medicinal materials, it is because your talents are insufficient and your medicine is inferior! How dare you speak nonsense about medicinal materials and criticize other things! ? 』


    『Physicians, medical talents are of course important, but medical ethics are even more important! When Zhang Shang saw Zhang Ji coming, he became more and more excited, and his voice became a little louder, gesticulating, intentionally or unintentionally pointing at Zhang Ji, "How can it be an act of clinging to the powerful and powerful?" People of my generation, when doing things and doing things, should be aware of their duties, and should know what kind of person they are! How can you overstep your resentment and utter arrogant words? ! 』


    Everyone also looked at Zhang Ji.


    Zhang Ji frowned slightly.


    It’s like one mountain can’t accommodate two tigers, there are two "Doctor Zhang" in the medical clinic, sometimes it is an embarrassing thing...


    Zhang Shang was very famous before, and of course he also had some medical skills, otherwise he would not be famous, but in front of Zhang Ji, it was not enough to see. So Zhang Shang was recruited into the medical center and thought that he would be able to make a fortune, but he was blocked by Zhang Ji in front of him, and he ate several times in a row. flare up.


    In Zhang Shang''s eyes, it is obvious that this person is close to Zhang Ji...


    Zhang Ji stepped forward, looked at the boy kneeling in the courtyard, and asked, "What did you say?" 』


    『Such arrogant people actually say that our medicinal materials are harmful! Everyone here, who has not been immersed in medicine for ten or twenty years, and no one has said that the medicinal materials are wrong, but you know it? It''s ridiculous, ridiculous! Young people, know your own abilities! Don''t blame others all day long, and grandstanding! 』Zhang Shang raised his eyebrows, raised his nostrils, and shook his beard.


    『What did you say? 』Zhang Ji ignored Zhang Shang and asked again.


    『I...my servant...』 said the young boy, 『Tell me, tell me...there may be something wrong with this batch of cinnamon...I''m afraid it can''t be used as medicine...」


    『Is there a problem with cinnamon? 』Zhang Ji frowned. Cinnamon is a commonly used medicine with many indications.


    『Haha, ridiculous, ridiculous! Zhang Shang said with a big laugh, "We have all practiced medicine for a decade or two, yet..."


    『Take it and have a look. 』Zhang Ji interrupted Zhang Shang''s words.


    "Wei..." The young man tried to stand up to get the medicinal materials, but his blood was blocked after kneeling for a long time, he staggered and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Zhang Ji helped him, and then he stood firm, moved his legs and feet a little, and then Bring some "cinnamon" to come.


    Zhang Ji frowned, flipped through "Cinnamon", and smelled it again, then snapped off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth...


    『There is a problem...this is "Yin Xiang"..." Zhang Ji spat out the residue, glanced at Zhang Shang, and said, "It looks like cinnamon, but it''s not cinnamon..."


    "what? Zhang Shang was taken aback for a moment, then he also walked down the steps, took the remaining piece from Zhang Ji’s hand, sniffed it, broke off a piece and threw it into his mouth, and then slowly froze...


    After a while, Zhang Shang suddenly threw "Cinnamon", or Yin Xiang, on the ground, and said loudly to the young disciples: "No matter what the medicinal materials are, in the medical hall, apprentices are not allowed to discuss medicine indiscriminately. This is the rule." ! rule! If everyone is like you, if you act, you will judge the teacher falsely, otherwise, what is the proper way to talk about the lord? How decent! Whether these medicinal materials are true or not, you are only an apprentice, so you can say for sure? Young people, study with an open mind, do things with heart, and don''t worry about the rest! Don''t need to say too much! Missing you today has not caused a big mistake, so I don''t blame you, and I can do it myself! Do it for yourself! 』


    After speaking, Zhang Shang threw up his sleeves and left.


    When everyone saw this, they also dispersed.


    Zhang Ji turned his head to look, but saw Cai Guanshi, who was in charge of purchasing medicinal materials, bowed his head and left among the crowd. Before leaving the yard, he seemed to cast a sinister look...


    Zhang Ji couldn''t help but jump in his heart.


    『Doctor Zhang...』 The young boy was at a loss and looked at Zhang Ji.


    Zhang Ji sighed in a low voice, then patted the young man on the shoulder, and said, "This place...you probably shouldn''t stay for a long time, pack your bags and leave quickly..."


    『Doctor Zhang! I... I am really studying here...」


    Zhang Ji stopped, turned his head slightly, "Go, go! After finishing speaking, he ignored the young disciples and left too.


    The young boy watched Zhang Ji go away, and then looked at the piece of Yinxiang on the ground. He couldn''t help standing still for a while, Fang muttered to himself: "I, I... Am I wrong? I... where did I go wrong again...」


    A lamp is like a bean.


    Zhang Ji sat in front of the desk, pondered for a long time, finally picked up the pen, and then dropped it like a heavy weight. When the thick ink is on the paper, it will penetrate the back of the paper!


    『Every time I look at the diagnosis of the Yue people in Guo, and look at the beauty of the Marquis of Qi, I can''t help but sigh at his talent! It is strange that people living in the world today have not paid attention to medicine and studied alchemy. The first is to cure the diseases of the emperor and relatives, the second is to save the poor and the poor, and the middle is to protect the body and live long, so as to support their lives. But in the pursuit of glory, following the powerful and powerful, earnestly earning money, only fame and fortune are the business, adorning the last, ignoring the basics, glamorous on the outside and haggard on the inside. If there is no skin, how will the hair be attached? 』


    Zhang Ji wrote this, took a breath, and let it out slowly, his gaze shifted slightly. On one side of Zhang Ji’s writing scroll are some prescriptions and summaries of Zhang Ji’s patients, and on it are the prescriptions of the patients Zhang Ji has recently treated. Among the prescriptions, there is the word “cinnamon” !


    Zhang Ji closed his eyes and sighed.


    Perhaps, it''s time for me to leave...
