Chapter 177 Sun Simiao
Sun Simiao is a famous doctor in the world and is now over 70 years old. But some people say that he is more than 70 years old, and may even be one hundred years old. However, this matter is no longer verified. Some people asked him that he only said that he was born during the Datong period of the Western Wei Dynasty. Based on this, his age is between 70 and 80 years old, so it is generally accepted by the world.
It is rare for people to be over seventy years old.
With just one sentence, we can know how difficult it was to live to be seventy in ancient times. In the social environment of the Tang Dynasty, people could call themselves "old man" after thirty-five, and living after 50 can be called longevity. People who live after 70 are rare and are regarded as auspicious by the world.
Just by living to the age of seventy, the people of the people have already respected him as gods. A very simple truth is that in such an era where even a cold can die, without being skilled in medical skills and good at health preservation, how could they live to the age of seventy?
But in fact, people do not know that Sun Simiao's medical skills were not talented, but that he became a doctor after a long time of illness. He was weak and sick in his early years. In order to save his life, his parents almost lost all their wealth. He also knew the pain of a person getting sick. Therefore, when he was very young, Sun Simiao decided to study medicine.
Sun Simiao was a young man and was able to recite thousands of words every day when he was seven years old. Dugu Xin, the minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, attached great importance to him and called him a "saint child". Dugu Xin was Dugu Xiude's ancestor, and his daughter was Empress Dugu of Emperor Wen of Sui.
Sun Simiao had a deep friendship with the Dugu family.
For many years, Sun Simiao has been traveling around to practice medicine. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain and wrote medical books "Qianjin Yaofang" and "Qianjin Yifang". In this era when his shoes were treasured, Sun Simiao was one of the few enlightened people. His medical books were worth a thousand gold, but he was never stingy. As long as he studied medicine sincerely and had the fate to meet him, he would take out the medical books for others to copy, and he would not have the status of a master or apprentice. His intention was to let his medical skills be passed down to the world and save more patients.
However, copying is still very slow after all, and it cannot achieve the effect he wants. Therefore, he has been looking for faster ways to spread his medical books and benefit more people.
This time when he came to Chang'an, Sun Simiao received a letter from Dugu Xiude. Dugu Xiude invited him to come because of Li Shimin's request. Since Empress Changsun gave birth to Li Chengqian, she has suffered from a strange brain disease. After winter every year, she will have frequent attacks, and she will have a splitting headache and will not be at peace all night. She is looking for Sun Simiao to diagnose and treat this disease.
In fact, this is not the first time that Li Shimin issued an order to summon Sun Simiao. It’s just that he had been writing books in Taibai Mountain before, and no one knew his whereabouts. Even the Dugu family had lost contact with him and could not contact him. According to folks, he was already dead. This time he was found because a man who copied his medical books and presented them to the Imperial Hospital. He learned that Sun Simiao was still alive and had just lived in seclusion in writing books over the years.
Li Shimin knew about the friendship between Dugu's family and Sun Simiao, so he issued an order, and at the same time asked Dugu Xiude to write a letter begging Sun Simiao to come to Chang'an. At the same time, through the person who presented the book, Li Shimin learned that Sun Simiao wanted to let medical books spread to the world, so Dugu Xiude wrote in the letter that Li Mu invented printing. Even if Sun Simiao was a paranoid and looked down on the imperial power and wealth, he would come to Chang'an in order to spread his medical books.
Sure enough, Sun Simiao came. He received a letter and imperial edict from Luoyang. He came to Chang'an along the way from Luoyang. He walked for almost half a month.
There is no way. Everyone knows Sun Simiao's reputation. When they go to the same place, local gentry and gentry came to seek medicine for treatment. Sun Simiao's doctor was kind-hearted and never refused when facing these people who seek medicine. When they arrived, they would have to wait for a day or two. It was half the time that was expected.
Sun Simiao arrived the afternoon of the previous day. As soon as he arrived, he was invited to the palace to treat Empress Changsun. Yesterday, he had just given medicine to the palace and was blocked by nobles from all walks of life. He rented a house on the edge of the west city, so when Li Zhien bought it, he heard that Sun Simiao was here.
This is because Li Mu paid the money and attracted a lot of attention. Otherwise, more people would come to see him for treatment, but even so, the surroundings of the house he rented were covered with carriages. Most of them were nobles. Between his life and dozens of stakes of money, nobles must value their lives more. Sun Simiao missed it this time, and maybe he would never encounter it in his life. After all, not everyone can live to be seventy years old like him.
When Li Zhien found the place, he faced such an embarrassing situation. There were too many people and the alleys were blocked. If he was lined up according to this line, it would probably not be the turn for three days.
Just when Li Zhien was anxious and helpless, Dugu Jiu jumped onto the wall on the shaft of the car. Today, Li Mu was at home, and Dugu Jiu didn't have to protect him. He heard that he wanted to hire a doctor for Li Mu, so Dugu Jiu followed him.
Before Li Zhien could ask, Dugu Jiu had already jumped off the wall. After a while, he jumped back.
"What did you do?"
"Please ask for a doctor." Dugu Jiu said coolly, without explaining much, and signaled the groom to turn the front of the car and go to the other end of the house.
These two houses are connected to the ridge, and the other end is also a house with a door connecting the middle. When you go around to the other end, it happens to be the side door of the empty house next to the house rented by Sun Simiao, which is quiet and uninhabited.
The carriage waited for a while, and the door opened. An old man with white hair and beard came out of the door. He was next to him a young man in his twenties, carrying a medicine box in his hand, and it looked like he should be his apprentice.
Although Li Zhien had never seen Sun Simiao, he could guess who he was when he saw him. He quickly got out of the car and saluted respectfully, "I've seen a miracle doctor."
Sun Simiao was thin, but his eyes were vigorous, and he could see that he was in good spirits. He reached out to help him and smiled and said, "No need to be polite, I already know your purpose. Treatment is important, let's go now."
"Please get in the car with a miracle doctor."
When Li Zhien came, he had already prepared two carriages. Although Sun Simiao was seventy, he didn't need anyone to help him, so he got on the car by himself. His apprentice followed him. Li Zhien looked at Dugu Jiu in confusion, but he knew that this place was not the time to ask in detail, so he got on the car. The two carriages turned around and headed straight to Zhulu Hou Mansion.
Li Mu didn't sleep all night, and slept until the afternoon. Anyone who had survived the night knew that he would not relieve fatigue during the day, and he would be tired no matter how he sleeped. Li Mu felt the same way, and opened his eyes but was unwilling to get up. Suddenly he felt that there seemed to be someone next to him who sat up and punched him...
The fist stopped a little inch away from Sun Simiao. He looked at Sun Simiao, and Sun Simiao looked at him with a smile. The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Hara Zhulu wakes up?"
"Old man, who are you? Why... how do you get into my dormitory?" Li Mu felt incredible. Where did the guards in this mansion go? He actually let an old white-bearded man sneak in!
Li Mu pulled his neck and shouted, "Are there any breathing? What's going on!"
Li Zhien heard the sound in the outer room and hurriedly ran in and said, "Master, don't panic. This is Doctor Sun, I'm here to treat you!"
"Sickness?" Li Mu was confused and said, "Where did I get the disease? Who asked me to ask... Wait, who do you think he is? Sun, the miracle doctor... Sun Simiao?!"
"My husband must not be so rude." Bai Qiaoqiao came from the outer room with a bowl of steaming 'Cola' soup and delivered it to Li Mu's lips, saying, "Dr. Sun is highly respected and over 70 years old. How can you be so old and young? Come on, drink this bowl of soup and medicine quickly. You will be cured after drinking it."
Li Mu was still in a daze. He watched Bai Qiaoqiao bring the medicine over. Somehow, he remembered a clip from "Water Margin" that he watched when he was eight years old. Pan Jinlian brought the poison to Wu Dalang, and what he said seemed to be the same. Dalang, drink this bowl of medicine, and he will be cured after drinking it.
After drinking, he became cold!
No! Li Mu subconsciously responded like Wu Dalang and shouted: "I won't drink, I want to see my brother Wu... Big guy! Xiaojiu, where did he die? What's the situation!"
Li Chongyi came in from outside, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Boss, let's drink it, sister-in-law has been waiting for a long time."
Dugu Jiu also said behind Li Chongyi: "Brother, let's drink it soon."
"Why did I drink it!" Li Mu was so angry that he cursed, looked at Qiaoqiao with tears in his eyes, grabbed her hand, and said, "Madam, why is this? Why do you want to poison your husband to death!"
"Ah?" Bai Qiaoqiao was stunned and frowned and said, "Husband, why do you miss me so much? This is the medicine prescribed by the miracle doctor. I went to get the medicine myself. I came back and boiled it for two hours to treat you. How could I poison you? You are my husband!"
As she said that, she put down the bowl, raised her hand and shook it in front of Li Mu, and said, "Husband, are you dreaming again? Haven't you awake yet?"
"I..." Li Mu looked at the soup in the bowl and cried, "Madam, don't lie to me, this is not a medicine. Look at what color it is, it's black... Do you have a good look? You want to poison your husband, you..."
Sun Simiao laughed out loud. Li Mu heard the voice and glared at him, saying, "You old man is so bad. I used to respect you. As expected, it's better to meet than to be famous. You are such a person!"
"Oh? Zhulu Hou has heard of me?"
