My father is Jiajing

After the little episode with Wu Liuqi ended, Huang Jin asked Wang Guang to continue taking him into the laboratory area to find Li Shizhen.

The reason why the laboratory is heavily guarded at this time is not only because the things being tested here are dangerous, but also because there are many Japanese pirates here.

Although there are both dead and alive Japanese pirates here.

But it can't be made known to everyone, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will arise.

Therefore, letting the Beijing troops guard here is also to prevent some unnecessary problems and disputes from arising.

After entering the experimental area, Huang Jin did not look around or ask too many questions. Although this was his first time here, he knew very well what was going on here.

At first, he didn't understand why Zhu Zaigui would spend a large sum of money to buy living Japanese pirates, but with the rapid progress of human medicine at the Medical Academy, Huang Jin gradually understood.

It turned out that these Japanese pirates were test subjects purchased by Zhu Zaigui for Li Shizhen and his team.

Wang Guang led the way in front, and was carefully paying attention to Huang Jin's reaction. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart that if Huang Jin saw something interesting in the experimental area, should he tell Huang Jin in detail?
But along the way, Huang Jin never showed any curiosity, nor did he ask any more questions about what was happening here.

This also made Wang Guang admire Huang Jin's determination and depth.

You have to know that this place is extremely mysterious to many ordinary people.

Many people, after arriving here for the first time, will surely look around even if they don’t dare to ask questions.

There are very few people like Huang Jin who follow Wang Guang without looking around, without asking a single question or even looking at him more.

Soon Wang Guang took Huang Jin to a more inner laboratory area.

"Father, my master is here. You can go in after changing into a set of disinfected protective clothing according to the rules here."

When Huang Jin saw a sign that read "Virus danger, entry and exit prohibited" he gave up the idea of ​​going in to see Li Shizhen.

Huang Jin said: "I'm waiting in the waiting room next to me for Doctor Li to come in and out. We dare not go into such a place. If something is not done well and something bad is contaminated and brought back to the palace, we will be guilty of a great sin."

When Wang Guang heard what Huang Jin said, he immediately replied, "Eunuch, you are so righteous! I will go find Master right away."

After saying that, Wang Guang hurried into the laboratory. After going through several layers of disinfection and protection, he finally got in.

At this time, Li Shizhen was like a "Frankenstein". He was looking meticulously at the test subject behind the glass wall in front of him.

"Increase the dosage a little more and record the reaction."

After Li Shizhen said this, the experimenters inside immediately followed his instructions, increased the dosage of the medicine a little bit, and injected another shot of a drug of unknown composition into the skinny Japanese pirate tied to the iron bed.

After the injection of the drug, the skinny Japanese pirate who had originally had no reaction suddenly reacted strongly. His body began to tremble violently and he began to foam at the mouth.

Soon, in less than a cup of tea, the skinny Japanese pirate was silent.

Li Shizhen looked at this phenomenon and couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, this medicine is still not right. We need to continue to adjust and purify it. Check this pirate again. If he is not infected with the virus, send him to the dissection room to give those newbies who have never seen blood a taste of meat. Let them see what the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys inside the human body look like."

"If anyone ever draws a diagram of the human body in the future and uses that kind of approximate shape, I will personally cut him open and let him draw according to my heart and liver!"

When Li Shizhen said this, the other doctors and students who were participating in the experiment were also frightened.

They never dreamed that the once amiable and serious Doctor Li would become so crazy and cold-blooded, and even start doing such horrific things!
Moreover, under Li Shizhen's strong pressure, all other doctors or students who wanted to enter the laboratory to study or conduct experiments had to cut their hair and not let their hair grow longer than their ears.

When this was first implemented, many people were reluctant to do so, believing that their bodies and hair were given by their parents and they should not damage them.

However, after learning and gaining a deeper understanding of the new medical system created by Li Shizhen, they no longer insisted.

Because they also deeply feel the difficulty of growing long hair and the problem of bacteria that are easily bred in long hair.

So, gradually, all the doctors and students who could accept Li Shizhen's new medical system had short hair. As for the long hair they showed when going out, they were actually wigs, and they were woven on the hats, not really pinned on their heads.

Otherwise, it would be better not to cut your hair short if you put such a thick wig on your head.

Moreover, in order to promote the germ theory they have discovered, they have begun to promote the benefits of short hair and frequent hair washing in magazines led by the Academy of Medical Sciences.

So over the years, some industries with high requirements for hygiene conditions have gradually begun to accept this theory.

Otherwise, they are also worried that what they make will not meet the standards.

At the same time, I am also worried that I might get sick due to unhygienic hair growth.

But there are exceptions. For example, some men and women who love beauty are unwilling to cut their hair.

And even if they need a haircut, they are only those working in a niche industry. For the vast majority of ordinary people, they would rather buy two more bars of soap and wash their hair and body more often than think about a haircut.

After all, tradition is not something that can be changed in a short time.

Just after Li Shizhen finished saying this shocking statement, Wang Guang also came in.

Wang Guang came up to Li Shizhen and whispered, "Master, someone is coming from the palace."

Li Shizhen originally wanted to give a few more words of caution to the doctor students who were doing the experiments with him.

But when he heard Wang Guang say that someone was coming from the palace, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

Li Shizhen then said to the crowd: "You discuss and summarize with each other first, and we will discuss it together later."

After saying this, Li Shizhen left with Wang Guang.

The people who were still here at this time couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Li Shizhen leaving. This shows how much prestige Li Shizhen had in the eyes of everyone.

After Li Shizhen and Wang Guang walked out of the laboratory, Li Shizhen asked, "Who is the person from the palace?"

Wang Guang replied, "It's Eunuch Huang Jin."

When Li Shizhen heard that it was Huang Jin, his face suddenly became serious.

The last time Huang Jin came to ask for medicine, he had already roughly described the situation of Emperor Jiajing, and he also prescribed some medicine for the symptoms, but he also knew that his medicine could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After all, Emperor Jiajing had been taking the "magic pill" for so many years. When he was in his prime, he could bear it, but now Emperor Jiajing is almost sixty years old. How could he still withstand the erosion of the "magic pill" at this age?

So, at this moment Li Shizhen also felt that the problem was a bit serious.

But he couldn't tell such a confidential matter to anyone, even his closest disciple, so he couldn't reveal even a single thing.

Otherwise, if they accidentally angered Emperor Jiajing, they would all lose their heads, and even Zhu Zaigui would not be able to save them.

Li Shizhen said seriously: "I know about this matter. You don't need to follow me later. I can handle it alone."

When Wang Guang heard what Li Shizhen said, he was slightly stunned, but then he felt that this seemed to be a good idea.

After all, such big shots are really dangerous. Only if you can flatter the right person can you have a bright future. But once you say something wrong and flatter the horse's hoof, the danger is self-evident.

Wang Guang said: "Disciple understands."

Li Shizhen walked quickly, and when he got outside, he saw Huang Jin standing in the waiting room.

Li Shizhen quickly stepped forward again and bowed to Huang Jin, "Greetings, eunuch."

Huang Jin looked at the energetic Li Shizhen and said with envy: "Doctor Li is still as elegant as ever, and he is becoming more and more like a great doctor."

Li Shizhen said modestly: "You are too kind, sir. I am just lucky to have some medical skills and health preservation experience."

Huang Jin laughed and said, "This is not a fluke. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there are not many people whose medical skills can surpass yours. And even if there are, they are probably some fake ones who like to play tricks to gain fame."

Li Shizhen felt quite proud when he heard Huang Jin praising him like that.

After all, over the years he has used the new ideas inspired by Zhu Zaigui to open up some medical fields that he had never thought of before, and he has achieved some results in these new fields.

If we really want to say who can match his medical skills, it is probably only Wan Mi Zhai.

This guy is not much inferior to Li Shizhen, but his research direction is different from Li Shizhen. Wan Mizhai is more inclined to theoretical creation and pediatric research.

Therefore, these two people can be regarded as the twin stars in today's medical field.

After Huang Jin and Li Shizhen finished their pleasantries, he asked, "Doctor Li, do you have anything to say?"

Li Shizhen said quickly, "Yes, yes, just go to my office. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission."

Huang Jin heard this and hummed with satisfaction, "Then I'll go to your office and bother you for a while."

Li Shizhen immediately waved her hand and gestured, "Please come this way, sir."

Then Li Shizhen led Huang Jin to his office in the experimental area.

After arriving here, Huang Jin also looked around. It was indeed very quiet, and Li Shizhen's office was indeed unusual. It was even more horrifying than the torture chamber of the East Factory.

Not only is there a skeleton made entirely of white bones standing nearby, but there are also a number of various human organs soaked in glass jars.

If Huang Jin had not been well-informed and had not been on the battlefield and experienced the tragic scenes of blood and flesh flying everywhere, he would probably have been frightened to death.

Huang Jin looked at these things and asked curiously, "Are these all from the Japanese pirates?"

Li Shizhen hummed, "Most of them are from the Japanese pirates, and a few are from special patients."

After hearing this, Huang Jin was secretly shocked and couldn't help but sigh for these "poor" Japanese pirates.

However, when he thought about the crimes committed by these Japanese pirates on the southeast coast and their contributions to the medical school, Huang Jin felt that this was the fate they deserved.

Huang Jin said: "I really can't imagine it. If this happened in the past, it would be a horrifying and terrifying thing. If a timid person came into your place, he would probably be scared to death!"

Li Shizhen smiled embarrassedly, "At the beginning, I was also very resistant, but as the research deepened and the number of studies increased, I gradually changed my mind. If you want to save lives, sometimes you have to use some extraordinary means. Otherwise, you will always fall into the trap of the experience summarized by the predecessors' research to diagnose and treat patients."

"Now that we have these studies, we can more clearly verify many diseases that we thought of before but could not confirm. In this way, not only the efficiency of curing diseases and saving lives has been greatly improved, but also many new drugs and new diagnostic methods have been born."

"So, in a word, this is all thanks to the prince's guidance. I am just continuing to move forward along the path that the prince pointed out to me. Even if no one dares to do this after me, at least my decades of hard work and experience can provide new references for future generations."

After listening to Li Shizhen's words, Huang Jin nodded in agreement.

Li Shizhen was able to achieve this, his sacrifice and perseverance were truly extraordinary.

Otherwise, if his unorthodox and horrific practice of using living people to study and treat diseases were to become known to the world, he would at least be sentenced to a felony of exile three thousand miles away.

After all, this method is still unacceptable to most ordinary people.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go if Li Shizhen’s current efforts are to be accepted by the general public.

However, now is not the time to worry or discuss this.

Huang Jin said: "His Majesty intends to summon you to the palace to discuss Taoism. Please prepare yourself and come back with me. I have prepared a Taoist robe in the carriage. Remember to change into it when you enter the palace. Do you understand?"

Although Li Shizhen was reluctant to do so, he still agreed for the sake of Emperor Jiajing's health and for the Ming Dynasty to have long-term stability.

Li Shizhen said, "Everything is subject to the instructions of the father-in-law."

Huang Jin hummed, "Okay, make arrangements now and follow me."

Li Shizhen paused and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it now."

After saying that, Li Shizhen hurriedly left his office, went to find Wang Guang to explain some things, and then found another disciple named Pang Xian to explain some things. After that, Li Shizhen took the things he needed for his medical consultation and set off with Huang Jin.
