Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 362

Long Aotian raised his head, glanced at Wang Ping'an, then at the noble lady on the ground, said oh, "I haven't finished the proof test yet, can't I wait any longer?"

Wang Pingan said: "Brother Long, today's work is over today, and the identification of symptoms can be left to tomorrow, and there is still time!" He pointed to the noble lady on the ground, and said: "This lady's life is in danger. Just in time to save lives and heal the wounded, since she is here, you and I have no reason to sit idly by, imagine if Sun Zhenren was here, he would not agree, right?"

It's not easy to mention others, but when Sun Simiao was mentioned, Long Aotian suddenly became excited and said: "Yes, if my mentor is here, he will definitely treat this woman. That's good, then let's compare with this lady." Bar!"

Weng Siguang let out an ah, never imagined that his wife would be used by the two great medical experts in the capital for a competition, he felt a little trembling, fearing that something might go wrong, he said: "I don't know how the prince wants to compete, but don't be a bitch." Nai's body is testing the medicine, she can't bear to toss about it!"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Brother Weng, don't worry, you won't torment your wife."

Long Aotian glanced at Weng Siguang, but said: "I usually don't treat people like you, but today is an exception, why are you so wordy!"

Weng Siguang's expression changed, and he thought to himself: "Qingqinger is not your wife anymore, it's easy for you to say it!"

Long Aotian took out a small flat box from his bosom, opened the lid, revealing a ball of thread inside, he took out the ball of thread, and said: "I'll use the hanging thread to check the pulse, come see her doctor!"

The eyes of everyone upstairs are shining brightly. Diagnosing the pulse with a silk thread is an extremely profound medical skill. I only heard about it in the past, but I didn’t have the chance to see it. Unexpectedly, I saw it in the medicinal food workshop today. It was still a disciple of Master Sun. Implement it yourself!

The imperial physicians also have bright eyes. They often have to go into the palace to see the concubines. There are many inconveniences. Although many of them claim to be able to diagnose the pulse with silk threads, in fact, whether it is true or not , that's two words.

Many imperial physicians have a good relationship with the eunuchs in the palace. Before treating the concubines, they bribed the eunuchs and found out about the concubines' condition from the eunuchs. When the thread is used to diagnose the pulse, the prescription is prescribed according to the symptoms.

"Knowledge" and "proficiency" are two completely different things. In the imperial hospital at this time, there is not a single imperial physician who is really proficient in pulse diagnosis with silk thread, and they are all called.But they absolutely believed that Sun Simiao knew how to diagnose pulse by hanging silk, because Sun Simiao had indeed used silk to diagnose pulse and treated the late Empress Changsun.If the master knows it, then the apprentice should also know it, so when Long Aotian took out the thread ball, all the imperial physicians were overjoyed.

When the imperial physicians downstairs heard the news, they immediately put down the patients in their hands, and they all rushed upstairs, wanting to see how Long Aotian used the silk thread diagnosis method.

Sweat appeared on Wang Ping'an's forehead. He raised his sleeve and wiped it, thinking: "This time, he is really inferior to him. No matter how good he is at thread diagnosis, he just takes the thread ball and immediately It proves that his medical skills are better than mine, and I don't even understand how to hang silk!"

Long Aotian slowly unfolded the ball of thread, this thread was different from ordinary thread, it looked like a very special kind of silk, probably the so-called sky silk, it was thin and somewhat transparent.Long Aotian pinched the thread and stretched it lightly, the thread bounced slightly!

The imperial physicians exclaimed in unison, looking at this thread without looking at anything else, it is a rare treasure, such a good elasticity, rare in the world!

Wang Pingan suppressed his surprise, swallowed, and said, "This ball of thin thread was taught by Master Sun?"

Long Aotian nodded and said: "Yes, it was taught by my benefactor." Seeing Wang Pingan's eyes showing envy, he sent the thin thread forward and said, "Do you want to see it?"

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed. Of course he wanted to see it. He didn't have the opportunity to have such a magical medical technique like thread diagnosis before, so he didn't want to. But now that he has the opportunity, if he didn't want to study it, he would be too stupid!
Seeing Wang Pingan stretching out his hand, wanting to take the thin thread, Long Aotian took it back again, shook his head and said: "Although this is a treasure passed down to me by my teacher, it's okay to show it to you, but you don't care about it. Diagnosing the pulse with silk is a trivial skill, so you don't need to look at the thin thread!" He retracted his hand, and the thin thread was taken back by him.

Wang Ping'an stopped in mid-air, it was as embarrassing as it could be, he said that he didn't want to compete with Xuansi to diagnose the pulse, but Long Aotian didn't care about anything else, but he cared about medical skills, so he used his words here It's up!
Long Aotian said to Weng Siguang: "Please tie this thread to your wife's wrist, I want to measure her left hand Chi pulse!" He said and handed over the end of the thin thread.

Weng Siguang hurried forward to take the thin thread, returned to his wife's side, took his left hand, but stopped, raised his head and said, "May I ask Mr. Long, where is Chimai?"

Long Aotian frowned, and said: "Why don't you even know where Chimai is? It's next to Guanmai."

Weng Siguang almost stopped crying, where is Guanmai?

Wang Pingan said: "You want to ask where Guanmai is, right? Actually it's next to Cunmai, let me show you!" He stood up, came to Mrs. Weng, picked up the thin thread, I squeezed it, but I didn't feel what kind of material it was.

He said: "The Cun pulse is closer to the wrist, it is side by side with it, it is here, this is the Guan pulse, and then you look at the place separated by three fingers, it is the Chi pulse!" He said, pointing to the position of the Chi pulse Weng Si widely read.

Tying the thin thread to Mrs. Weng's left wrist, Wang Pingan glanced at Weng Siguang who was full of nervousness, and said, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Long's medical skills are still very good. Because your wife can't urinate, and the left-hand ruler vein It is the kidney and bladder, and the bladder is where urine is stored, so it is absolutely correct to tie this thin thread here!"

Wang Pingan is not a talkative person, and he will not explain how to take the pulse with a person who is completely ignorant of medical skills. He takes advantage of the time of talking to feel the vibration brought by the thin thread. He also tries to diagnose the pulse with a thread. See what kind of pulse this thin line will bring.

Weng Siguang oh oh twice, said: "Sure enough!"

Long Aotian snorted, but said: "This is considered clever? It's just a pulse, do you think I don't even understand this?"

Wang Pingan tried the thin thread, but felt nothing, felt a little disappointed, stood up, returned to the chair, and waited for Long Aotian Xuansi to diagnose the pulse.

Long Aotian stretched the thin thread straight, and then threw off his sleeve to cover his hand holding the thread, so that Wang Pingan could not see how he was pinching the thread.

Wang Pingan snorted, thinking: "This man is really small!" The surrounding imperial physicians were also very disappointed. I really didn't expect that Long Aotian covered his hands with his sleeves, and didn't show his skills, even if he wanted to learn a trick secretly. !
There was no sound in the room, everyone's eyes were fixed on Long Aotian's sleeves, if the eyes could be focused, then I believe Long Aotian's sleeves could catch fire!

After a while, Long Aotian exhaled and said to Weng Siguang: "It's fine, you untie the thread and return it to me!"

Wang Pingan couldn't bear it any longer, and let out an exclamation. Following his exclamation, all the imperial doctors in the room let out a sound of horror. It was done so quickly, what a miracle!
The number of pulses is a very particular thing. Li Shizhen in Ming Dynasty once summed up 28 kinds of pulses, including floating pulse, sinking pulse, sliding pulse, late pulse, counting pulse, astringent pulse...etc.

For example, the floating pulse, if you put it more vividly, it’s like a piece of wood floating in the river, if you press the piece of wood with your hands, you will find it is very elastic, but if you press down hard, the piece of wood will sink. , this feeling can be used to describe the floating pulse.

Another example is the Shenmai, the Shenmai are like sand in the water, they are all at the bottom, if you want to find the Shenmai, you have to follow the meridian and pinch the bones to get it.

These two pulses are just opposite.

Another example is Huamai, the ancients said that it is like a ball moving on a plate. If it is easier to understand, take a plate, put glass balls in it, and then shake the plate. The feeling on the plate is similar to the feeling of Huamai.

Most people with a lot of phlegm will show a slippery pulse. In general, except for special circumstances, the pulse of pregnant women is mostly slippery. If the doctor sees too many medical records, he can tell whether the pregnant woman is pregnant with a boy or a girl.

There is also the late pulse, which means the pulse is particularly slow, and most people with this pulse feel cold and cold; while the counting pulse is particularly fast, and those with this pulse usually have heat in the body; the stagnant pulse is the feeling of feeling Relatively sticky, figuratively speaking, it is like scraping bamboo with a light knife, just like scraping bamboo with a small knife.

There are so many pulse conditions, each of which is different, and you can feel them all with a thin thread. Such an ability, if not a divine skill, is almost a divine skill!
Wang Pingan took a deep breath, looked at the other imperial physicians, and saw that everyone was like him, with expressions of envy and surprise on their faces.

Weng Siguang groaned again, and said, "That's the number, don't you want to hang out for a while?"

Long Aotian said: "Your wife is in very good health, but she can't urinate, it's not a serious problem, it doesn't take a long time to wait, return the thread to me!"

Weng Siguang quickly agreed, untied the thin thread from his wife's hand, put it away carefully, and returned it to Long Aotian.Long Aotian glanced at Wang Ping'an and said, "It's you!"

Wang Pingan smiled at him and said, "Can I borrow this thread from my younger brother?"

Long Aotian rolled his eyes and said: "No borrowing!"

Wang Ping'an grinned, okay, the answer is so refreshing!He stood up and said to the crowd: "To be honest, I am also very proficient in the medical technique of thread diagnosis, but unfortunately today, I forgot to bring the thread, and Brother Long is too small to borrow it! I have no choice but to use the usual method to give Mrs. Weng my pulse!" After speaking, he sighed and came to Mrs. Weng again.

Everyone watching the excitement upstairs said: "Your Majesty Wang is very skilled in medicine, so naturally he can diagnose the pulse with a silk thread."

The imperial physicians grinned, thinking: "I've never seen you take the pulse by hanging silk, I guess you probably don't know how to do it!"

And Ouyang Li, the two little girls, and Di Renjie all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Long Aotian didn't borrow, otherwise he would have made a big fool of himself today!

Wang Pingan picked up Mrs. Weng's hand. He also counted the chi pulse with his left hand. After counting for a while, he picked up his right hand and counted again.He heard a snort from behind, which was Long Aotian's sneer, he was laughing at Wang Ping'an's superfluous, one-handed pulse signal, why both hands, it can be seen that Wang Ping'an's medical skills are actually not very good!
But Wang Pingan ignored it, didn't even look back, after taking the pulse, he looked at Mrs. Weng's face again, and saw that she was a little confused, showing symptoms of confusion.He said: "Brother Weng, let me look at Madam Weng's tongue, is it alright?" He asked whether men and women should kiss or not, but before Weng Siguang could answer, he pinched Madam Weng's mouth to look at the tongue coating .

Long Aotian said from behind: "It's really unnecessary... No, it's unnecessary, it's a waste of time!" He wrote a prescription with a pen and threw it aside, which means that you have the time to see a doctor , My prescriptions are all ready, if you use them to decoct medicines now, maybe your illness will not be cured, and the medicines will be served!

Wang Pingan ignored him, and after looking at the coating on his tongue, he asked Weng Siguang again, "How long has your Madam been suffering from this disease?"

Weng Siguang said: "Several days!"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "What do you mean by a few days? Three days is a few days, and ten days is also a few days. If you can't urinate for ten days, then you don't need to worry about this disease. There is nothing you can do if the gods come!"

Weng Siguang hurriedly said: "It's been three days, today is the third day... half!"

Wang Ping'an said, "What did your Madam eat before she got sick?"

Weng Siguang said: "I ate roasted rabbit meat, and mustard cakes, and drank a lot of wine!"

"Mrs. Zun's body is actually very healthy. I think she just can't urinate. Before she got sick, did she ever do any activities, such as running?" Wang Pingan asked again.

Weng Siguang made a sound, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, but not running, but hunting on horseback. She and a few good friends took servants out of the city to hunt. Now the autumn is crisp and the wild animals are fat. It is a good time for hunting. Time. They didn’t catch any big prey that day, but they only caught a few hares, roasted them outside the city, and ate the mustache and wine they brought with them, and then they came back to the city, and then they got this disease!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Long Aotian behind him, and everyone looked at him together. Seeing Long Aotian's face full of embarrassment, he stretched out his hand to take the prescription he wrote just now, and took a pen to correct it, as if he was adding or subtracting medicine. !

Even people who don't know medical skills can understand that this is the wrong medicine!

Wang Pingan looked back at him, and said in his heart: "If you don't see a doctor carefully, there is no reason not to make a mistake. What if you can diagnose the pulse with a thread, it's better than I can't!"

Turning his head, he asked again: "But the horse that has been riding for a day?"

Weng Siguang nodded and said, "Yes, it's almost a day. I've never ridden for so long before."

Wang Pingan stood up and said: "Okay, I'm optimistic about it too." Back at Long Aotian's table, he sat down and said: "Brother Long, one patient can't take the medicines of both of us at the same time. Serve yours, or mine first?"

Long Aotian thought for a while, and said: "Let's compare it first!" He shook the prescription in his hand, and said: "My prescription is a water diuretic, decoction for a quarter of an hour, and after feeding the patient, two It takes a quarter of an hour to take effect, so it takes a total of three quarters of an hour!"

The imperial physicians stood up in unison, and it took three quarters of an hour to see the effect, so this prescription is quite remarkable!
Wang Pingan nodded and said, "Good recipe, but can it be less than three quarters of an hour?"

Long Aotian snorted, and said: "I can't! It's unreasonable, it may take less than three quarters of an hour to cure her illness, you should prescribe a dose and come out to see!"
