Chapter 683 Sun Simiao accepts disciples
In Sun Simiao's view of medicine, Li Xiu was sitting there playing chess, but the person playing chess with him was a little strange. It was not that the other party looked strange, but that the other party was sitting in a large wooden barrel, steaming steam coming out of the barrel, and the room was filled with a smell of medicine, but it didn't smell bad, but it was a little fragrant.
"Mr. Concubine, thank you for this time!" The man in the bucket smiled at Li Xiu while playing chess.
"Du Xiang is polite. I just found that Du Xiang's face was wrong. Thanks to His Majesty's carefulness and worry about Du Xiang's body, Master Sun was able to treat you and discovered the problem. Therefore, the person Du Xiang should thank the most is actually His Majesty!" Li Xiu said with a smile.
Du Ruhui became ill due to overwork. Although he had not yet erupted, his health was in a very bad situation. Fortunately, Sun Simiao discovered it in advance and treated him personally. Now Li Shimin simply gave Du Ruhui a complete holiday, and Fang Xuanling temporarily let the government affairs take over. When will he recover from his body and when will he return to the court?
"I don't just want to thank Your Majesty, but also Master Sun. If it weren't for Master Sun's magical doctor's skill, I'm afraid my body wouldn't have improved so quickly. Now I feel much better than before." Du Ruhui couldn't help but smile again when he heard Li Xiu's words. When he spoke, he also expressed his gratitude to Sun Simiao, who was adding medicine powder to the bathtub next to him.
"Haha~, Du Xiang, you feel that your health is getting better now, mainly because your physical condition was too bad before. In just a few days, I can only temporarily stabilize your condition and prevent it from worsening. It is still far from improving." Sun Simiao also smiled and said.
"Master Sun, I know that the disease goes to the point of getting sick, but I still want to ask, when will my body recover to health?" Du Ruhui moved his body in the wooden barrel and asked. This medicine bath was only part of the treatment, and it took two hours to soak. Usually, it was boring. Fortunately, Li Xiu came to visit Sun Simiao today, so he was dragged to play chess with him.
"Du Xiang, it's not the first time you asked me this question. Didn't I say it all last time? Your disease is caused by overwork, not a day's work, and naturally it's not cured in a short time. According to my estimate, even if you recover well, it will take at least half a year to recover completely. If there are any twists and turns in the middle, it's possible even one or two years." Sun Simiao glanced at Du Ruhui helplessly at this time.
"One or two years? This... has been a bit too long? Now that the Tang Dynasty has just destroyed the Turks, the court is also at the time of employing people. I... I really can't get out!" Du Ruhui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and he looked at Li Xiu with help when he spoke, because he knew that Li Xiu was also a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty and hoped that he could think of a solution for him. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Li Xiu, the "famous doctor", was too heavy for his illness.
"Du Xiang, with your physical condition, the year of recuperation is not very long. Didn't Master Sun say just now? If your body recovers quickly, you may be able to recover from your prime." Li Xiu also smiled and said, "He couldn't help, so he could only persuade him for a few words.
Hearing Li Xiu say this, Du Ruhui had no choice. After finishing the medicine bath, Sun Simiao used acupuncture and massage to help him spread the medicinal power. This is a skill and physical strength job. Even if Sun Simiao is strong, this trick will be very tired. On the other hand, Du Ruhui fell asleep on the bed and even made a snoring sound. This is also one of the effects of medicinal power. After all, sleep is one of the best states for body repair.
Seeing that Sun Simiao was so tired that he was sweating profusely, Li Xiu hurriedly asked him to sit down and pour him tea himself. Sun Simiao took a sip of tea and sighed: "I'm so old. I still feel at ease after doing this ten years ago, but now I'm a little helpless!"
"Master Sun, your body is better than that of an ordinary young man. It's too early to say that you are old, but I think you should find a few disciples, otherwise it would be a pity if your medical skills are not passed down?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a serious expression when he said the last thing. Sun Simiao's medical skills were amazing, but he was the only one. If you could have a few doctors with good medical skills, it would be a good thing for anyone.
"Are you accepting a few disciples?" Sun Simiao was stunned when he heard Li Xiu's words. He was obsessed with medical skills and was strong in his body. He had never thought about accepting disciples. However, after Li Xiu's reminder, he also felt that he was indeed not young anymore. If he did not pass on medical skills, he would probably have no time in the future.
"It is a good thing to accept disciples, but it is not easy to find a qualified disciple. It not only requires talent, but also has higher requirements for character. After all, medical skills can not only save people, but also kill people. If you find a disciple with misbehavior, it may make him use medical skills as an evil person." Sun Simiao thought for a while before he spoke slowly.
"This is because medical skills are used to save people, and character is even more important than talent. However, character can be cultivated. For example, a child is a piece of white paper and character is not fixed. So I think Master Sun, you can choose a few children, teach them medical skills and the principles of being a human being. I believe that the disciples taught in this way will not have bad character." Li Xiu suggested again at this time.
"This is a good suggestion. Many masters like to teach their disciples since childhood. I can also try it. But where should I find those families who are willing to send their children to my disciples to learn medical skills?" Sun Simiao nodded first, and then said in distress.
"Master Sun, don't belittle yourself. Your medical skills are superb. Moreover, there are medical subjects in the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty. Many scholars also want to study medicine and get admitted to the medical subject. With your reputation, as long as you speak, countless people will definitely want to send their children to study under your school!" Li Xiu said with a smile again at this time, but there was a different meaning in his smile.
"This..." Sun Simiao showed a hesitant expression when he heard Li Xiu's words. There was indeed a medical examination in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it was definitely not comparable to the Jinshi examination, and it was even worse than the Jinshi examination. But after all, it was a shortcut to entering the officialdom, so many people were willing to take the medical examination. However, most of those who took the medical examination only regarded medical examinations as a stepping stone to enter the career path. They didn't like medical skills at all, and it was even more impossible to study them sincerely.
