The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 81

After Zhang Zhou's words fell, Zhu Youtang didn't say anything yet, but Dai Yi and Xiao Jing on the side reacted more.

Dai Yi hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, you have such a good prescription, you should bring it out earlier. This is related to the affairs of Jiangshan Sheji."

This seems to be expressing to Zhu Youtang.

Your Majesty, if you are embarrassed to say, let us slaves speak for you. If you are embarrassed to ask for medicine, we will ask for you.

"What are you in a hurry for?" Zhu Youtang rolled his eyes at Dai Yi, then winked at Mou Bin and the others, and Mou Bin hurriedly led them downstairs.

Jin Yiwei is not qualified to attend the event involving the emperor's childbirth.

"Bingkuan, I'd like to hear what you think. But don't force it. I know my physical condition. In recent years, I have indeed been worse than before."

It seems that Zhu Youtang is not very confident about having a son.

Zhang Zhou nodded.

He has more confidence in his heart.

This involves several prerequisites for his proposal.

The most important point is that he cannot be held accountable by the emperor because his so-called "good prescription" has no effect.

Not to mention the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is put in later generations, any disease does not mean that it can be cured by medicine. The most important principle for treating the emperor is that no fault is merit.

If nothing is done, then who would dare to diagnose and treat?

This is also the reason why successive generations of emperors in Ming Dynasty had medical accidents.

"My minister's medicine is only for His Majesty and Empress to recuperate."

Zhang Zhou is relatively straightforward.

Zhu Youtang said: "Earlier, the imperial hospital also prescribed medicines for me to recuperate, but it had little effect, and then... oh! I don't care if I don't mention it!"

What happened later, not to mention Zhang Zhou, knew that Li Guang must have administered the medicine later, and the effect was still "excellent".

However, Li Guang's medicine only solves the "symptom" problem, and does not cure the "root".

Light has hardness, but no quality, can it work?
You just want to be a masculine man, and don't produce seeds, which is no different from a mule.

"Your Majesty, my minister's prescription may be different from the one provided by the Imperial Hospital," Zhang Zhou said.

"Oh?"

Zhu Youtang became interested.

Dai Yi asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, do you mean to make alchemy?"

Zhang Zhou looked at the past, Dai Yi's smile was full of anticipation, but it was also obviously worrying.

This is probably the reason why the palace people love and hate him. They want him to share the emperor's worries, but also fear that he will become the second Li Guang...

"Your Majesty, I have always said that I don't know how to make alchemy. Even if I give your majesty prescriptions, the medicines used are those that can withstand scrutiny and will not use potentially toxic drugs. Your Majesty can find someone from the Imperial Hospital to verify this. ..."

Zhu Youtang nodded: "I believe in you."

It is useless to believe that once he becomes the second Li Guang, Zhang Zhou won the Jinshi examination and becomes an official, he will not be able to play happily with civil officials, and he will not be able to integrate into the circle of literati at all.

"The minister will list down what he knows when he turns back, for His Majesty's reference."

……

……

Zhang Zhou didn't rush to list the prescription directly.

First of all, he needs to confirm a few things...

The first thing is that the brothers Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong were indeed born of Empress Zhang, not that these three children were born of others as mentioned in "Zheng Wang Yaoyan".

This is to prove that Zhu Youtang and his wife are not infertile, even if one of them is infertile, it will not work.

In this day and age, it is almost impossible for Zhang Zhou to cure infertility.

He is not an old Chinese doctor, besides, an old Chinese doctor is just bragging. Is infertility so easy to treat?

Are they going to be test-tube babies?

The second thing is to make sure that Queen Zhang did not have any major problems when she gave birth to Zhu Houwei...

This is to determine the root of the problem, in Zhu Youtang.

This has to mention a book, which is "Liang Peng Gathering Experience and Divine Prescriptions" written by a person named Sun Wei during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The most amazing thing about this book is that it uses folk Compiled by many verified prescriptions, it talks about actual combat rather than theory. Many of the prescriptions have been passed down to later generations, so that many traditional Chinese medicine preparations that are popular in later generations are "developed" based on their prescriptions.

Among them is the ancient famous prescription "Diliwan".

It can be used for Zhu Youtang.

In addition, many traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in later generations will also use many prescriptions for conditioning women, including "uterine cold"... This kind of prescription is very common in later generations, and most women will use it when preparing for pregnancy.

Although most of these traditional Chinese medicines have no direct effect, they can still be used for long-term conditioning. Anyway, this kind of IQ tax must be paid if it is not paid these days.

What else could it be?

Even if he refines a few more medicines similar to nitroglycerin, they won't be used to give birth, and Zhang Zhou won't be able to make a certain kind of small blue pill...

It's rare for the emperor to believe it, so try it, it will be the best, if it doesn't work, it will be the same.

Li Guang's pills have always been fooling people. If it weren't for the fire, wouldn't they have always been favored by the emperor?

If the first two are met.

That Zhang Zhou still has a certain degree of confidence, because Zhu Youtang and his wife once gave birth to three children, but due to some factors, their physical condition is not good, but the couple is only 27 or [-] years old...still at the peak of childbirth Expect.

Why are you powerless?

It is possible to cure infertility, but those who have given birth will not be able to grow during the peak childbearing period?
The main thing is to cure... Your Majesty, your fault?
……

……

"Bingkuan, I wanted to talk to you about rebuilding the Qingning Palace. The bidding proposal you proposed is very good. I went to the Zhang family's mansion to see it, and I can't explain it in words."

There is no in-depth discussion on the matter of having a child.

Zhang Zhou said that he had to go back and solve it slowly, and Zhu Youtang also understood that he should not rush for a while.

We should also talk about "business".

From Zhu Youtang's words, Zhang Zhou knew how horrible the wood and stone purchased by the Zhang brothers were.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

"If you have time to enter the palace, let Xiao Jing and the others take you to Qingning Palace to have a look. If there is anything wrong with the reconstruction, please mention more." Zhu Youtang reminded again, and left immediately.

The emperor is in a good mood.

It can improve physical fitness and have the opportunity to have children. With Zhu Youtang's dependence on people, Zhang Zhou believes everything he says now.

"Prepare for the exam carefully. I have also read the poem you wrote today. It is well written. Cheng Minzheng, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, also read it with me. He also praised you for your good learning, but it is the poetic flavor... I don't mind mentioning it. I told him Having said that, let you go back and visit him, which will help you in the coming spring. He will remind you with his heart. "

Still mention something?
Zhang Zhou thought to himself, I have become a thorn in the eyes of some scholars now, is this going to take me to the imperial prison to be whipped?
"Could it be that Your Majesty wants Bachelor Cheng to be the chief examiner for the spring next year?"

Zhang Zhou asked directly.

"Huh?" Zhu Youtang frowned.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although Cheng Xueshi is very talented and famous, he is too close to ordinary scholars. If he is the chief examiner of the general examination, he will be criticized and even slandered. This time, I will compete with others. It is too much publicity, and it is easy to be slandered... I have recently prepared for the exam with peace of mind, and I still don't visit potential examiners."

Zhang Zhou clearly told Zhu Youtang that I have been too high-profile recently, so I have to keep a low profile before the exam, so don't come to me if there are any high-profile matters.

Zhu Youtang nodded thoughtfully.

Dai Yi asked with a smile: "Did Mr. Zhang calculate something again?"

Zhang Zhoudao: "In the coming spring, there may be some disturbances. It's hard to say."

Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "It's up to you. As long as you have talents, you don't have to worry about where you go. Only those without talents will think about taking advantage of it. I like you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

"I'm gone. You don't have to take the matter between the prince and your son to heart today. I think that your son has a lot of vigor, and he will have a future just like you in the future."

"Your Majesty is wrong."

"Ah."

Zhu Youtang was in a happy mood, and he gained a lot from going out of the palace, not only exercising his body but also seeing all kinds of things in the market, and he also got a potential chance to have a baby from Zhang Zhou.

He left contentedly.

……

……

In an inn in Huanghuafang in the east of the capital, Tang Yin set up a ring early on, waiting for Zhang Zhou to compete with him.

He thought of various coping strategies.

But he waited until the inn was as deserted as tea and even all the onlookers had left before he waited for Xu Jing who had gone out to inquire about the news to come back.

Still waiting for a poem written by Zhang Zhou on the spot in the literary competition.

"Brother Bohu, this is the poem that Zhang Zhou wrote in front of everyone outside Beiyong. I have read the words. It is not a pavilion, but it is vigorous and powerful. In terms of calligraphy alone, there is still some ability. No results Before, he left in a huff. This person is extremely wild and has attracted a lot of criticism. I specially brought the poem back for you to comment on."

Xu Jing put the copied poem in front of Tang Yin.

After Tang Yin read it through, his complexion became worse and worse.

"What do you think?" Xu Jing asked.

Tang Yin covered the paper and said coldly: "I said his writing is bad, do you believe me?"

Xu Jing smiled wryly: "Bohu, no matter what, I'm on your side, I don't care if he's okay or not. Why don't you see the real chapter next year in Chunwei?"

Tang Yin jumped up and said: "My family is backward, and I once thought about planting peach blossoms in Gusu. Even after Zhongjieyuan, I also thought that I would be ranked high in the gold list in the future, and take care of it after retiring from the top. It’s a peach garden, talking and laughing with great Confucianists and no white people, but for some reason, what he wrote is the future that I was thinking about.”

"what?"

Xu Jing was very surprised.

I can understand Tang Yin's evaluation of whether this poem is good or not, but you actually said that he copied what you thought?
Even you, Tang Yin, don't follow the rules.

"He... He copied you? Bohu, have you written it before?" Xu Jing was also confused.

"I never put the thoughts in my heart into writing." Tang Yin was depressed.

"That is to say, he didn't know about it from you, so he probably has the same ambition as you, and you two cherish each other."

Tang Yin was so proud and arrogant, he immediately turned his eyes sharply.

Xu Jing could only smile wryly.

Isn't that what you Tang Yin mean?Why are you staring at me?
"Bohu, let's not mention this displeasure. I have invited a few scholars from Huguang. They are famous among the local scholars. After a competition with them, I will find a few friends to drink with. I heard that in Jiaofang Division, there are a group of singers from the south, many of them are officials, and many of them have learned poetry and books since childhood, which is just right for you."

Xu Jing's family has a great career and is very generous. He is Tang Yin's benefactor on the way to the north. Xu Jing is basically responsible for Tang Yin's expenses in the capital.

Tang Yin said: "No."

"you……"

Xu Jing was puzzled, even if you are unhappy, you can't hold back, right?Yesterday, she was still dressed in fresh clothes, talking and laughing, but today she is going to hide in the inn as a doormat?

Tang Yin looked unwilling to show weakness: "I want to prepare, and I will meet Zhang Zhou at the door!"

Xu Jing persuaded: "Bohu, what are you doing with him? He doesn't dare to compare with you. He is afraid of being compared with you. If you don't give you a chance, you won't get a good result if you come to the door. Besides, he is like this. Wild people have long been the target of public criticism, even if you don't go, there will be a lot of people looking for trouble for him."

Tang Yin acted as if there were me in this world without him, and said: "If there is no such poem, I will ignore it. But there is absolutely no room for two identical people in this world! Even if there is no good result, I will definitely go to meet it He can't!"
