Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 6 Yang Qilong Reminiscing about Old Events Before the Temple
Zakharov giggled and said, "If my guess is right, you still have people in the court!" His ghostly smile actually made Monk Jin shudder: he only had contacts with Ge Li, the governor of Jiangnan, and he was faintly acquainted. Yue Yue heard that Suo'etu and Ge Li had a dispute with Ming Zhu because of the crown prince.

"Mr. Zhu, you touched me—no, you moved God!" Zakharov sighed, with green light in his eyes, "Different interests, but the same goal. I can help you, the Orthodox Church Envoy Mr. Roman Mashka—a mixed race—has been lurking in Jinling for 20 years—for you, I decided to use him to cooperate with your plan. I will send you another pistol, and there is no better one in the world Weapons. You probably won’t refuse to accept it like you refuse gold, right?” Monk Jin raised his hand and said, “Thank you, Your Excellency.

... A gust of wind blew over, and Monk Jin shuddered before realizing that he was sitting in front of the Tianwang Temple in the east of Congzhong Town next to the Handan Ancient Road.The hazy moonlight coated the surrounding scenery with mercury.Things that happened not so long ago suddenly seemed very distant.He listened to the movement around him, and found that a person in the East Wing was sleeping soundly and snoring.This person's surname is Gao, and he is a poor man who went to Beijing to take the exam.There is another one living in the west wing, a novice who was taken in by Monk Jin three years ago. He is commonly known as Yu Yishi. He has a hard work in an iron cloth shirt. , Shaved his hair and became the apprentice of Monk Jin.Monk Jin has more than [-] black shops in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the guys are his gangster friends.Monk Jin was about to get up and go back to the monastery when the door of the west wing creaked open.Yu Yishi came out with his jacket slanted, staggered to the back of the hall, slammed like an upside-down Luliang bottle, went back to the room with his shoes on, turned his face to see Monk Jin sitting in front of the steps, rubbed his sleepy eyes, He asked vaguely: "Monk Tangtou, it's late at night, are you still meditating?"

"It's not meditation," Monk Jin said with a smile, "I somehow missed the sleepy head tonight and couldn't sleep anymore. First, Mrs. Han Liu over there cried miserably, and later I saw her go to Huangliangmeng to offer incense to Lu Zu. I won’t be back sooner or later, don’t tell me something happened?”

This Mrs. Han Liu is a famous capable woman. She has a young son in front of her who is seriously ill. She has seen all good doctors and used all kinds of expensive medicines, but they are not effective.This shrewd and capable old lady was also in a mess, and went to Huangliangmeng to pray to God every night.

"Consumption, it's useless to ask the ancestor of the Nine Heavens to Smite Demons!" Yu Yishi said, and pushed the door to go in to rest.Because the silver was buried in the back garden of the Han family, Monk Jin went to Huazhai several times and wanted to go in, but he was blocked from the door. He wanted to order Yu Yishi to visit Huangliangmeng. Woke up by them, he asked through the window: "Monk, who is sick?" Then there was a rustle, and he got up and came out.Monk Jin greeted him hurriedly, clasped his hands together and said, "It's a crime to disturb the layman, Amitabha Buddha!"

The man who came out was Gao Shiqi, a poor man from Qiantang. He was extremely intelligent since he was a child.Hearing that there was a patient, Gao Shiqi came out, straightened his six-in-one felt cap on his head, tucked the flowered cotton wool into his robe, and tightened a tattered long belt, laughing Said: "I was worried that I had no money for wine, and suddenly reported that someone had sent money! Tell me, who is sick, take me to see!"

"Mister Bamboo Strips!" Yu Yishi in the west room chuckled, "Are you Hua Tuo, Bian Que, Zhang Zhongjing, or Li Shizhen?" Gao Shiqi said: "The layman is proficient in the art of Qi and Huang. The poor monk took you to the Han family. Master Han has a glimmer of life, and it is also a good deed of my Buddhism. Good!" Then he went to hold the lamp to lead the way.

Han's Mansion is on the side of the post road turning north from the east of the town, and the two of them arrived in a short time.But the housekeeper at the door refused to let them in, crossed his hands, raised his face and said, "You golden monk is so clueless, it's midnight, is it time for alms? Come tomorrow!"

"This is the doctor." Monk Jin apologized with a smile, "I know that the people in the house are uneasy, so I recommend him to see the young master." "That's not okay." The housekeeper glanced at Gao Shiqi and said firmly, "—— That’s not my old lady coming back! Tell her yourselves about it.”

The two looked back and saw a row of lanterns on the east road. When they got closer, they saw a dozen donkeys riding long tails, surrounded by a white-haired old lady coming slowly.The old lady put her legs on one side, turned her body to the door, came down quickly, threw the reins to a servant, glanced at Gao Shiqi, and asked, "Ma Gui, what's wrong?"

"Amitabha, the old benefactor is blessed!" Monk Jin hurriedly stepped forward to appease his head, and said, "I have never given my greetings! Monk visited at night, not for the sake of fasting, knowing that the young master is not well, so I recommend this Mr. Gao to treat illnesses..."

"Ma Gui, it's too cold, I asked someone to accompany the two girls to Huangliangmeng, and send a cotton jacket to the beggar. It's so cold—it's in the broken pavilion next to the big pond behind the temple, listen? "Speaking, he took another look at Gao Shiqi, and said slowly: "Mr. Fang in Handan City saw it later today, and he is no longer useful. Let's invite monks when you are in the dojo!" steps.

"Hahahaha..." Gao Shiqi suddenly burst out laughing.

The old lady Han stopped and didn't move, she turned her face and asked, "What's so ridiculous?"

"I laugh at the ridiculous person, I laugh at the pitiful person!" Gao Shiqi raised his face to the sky, and said coldly, "There are many unfilial sons in the world, but unkind mothers are rare among my students. Today is an eye opener!"

It was probably the first time for Han Liushi to meet such a person. She was startled for a moment, and there was a smile on her face. In an instant, there was a light of hope in her eyes, and she became friendly: "Maybe it's because my old lady's eyes are distracted. You don't look like a doctor, but you look like you are rushing to take an exam—where are you from, have you read medical books?"

"Three tombs and five classics, eight questions and nine hills, and hundreds of schools of thought, all of my students are familiar with it! The way of medicine is the ultimate skill!" Gao Shiqi put his hands in his torn sleeves, and said, "The patient has breath in the body, and it is all It can be cured, whether it succeeds or not depends on the fate of heaven, and whether it will be cured or not depends on people. You don't even know this reason, not only do you have no motherly heart, even the way of being a human being is unjustifiable." After saying that, he was about to walk away. .

"Mr. Gao!" Han Liushi suddenly called out.Tears kept rolling in her eyes, but she restrained them from dripping out, "Is there any mother who doesn't feel pain? Ever since Chunshang, my silly son got this symptom, and he hired countless famous doctors. Splashing it on the beach is useless. Today, people are about to lose their breath, and they asked for Lu Zu's lottery and said, "The heavenly noble star is in Tai Sui, so don't offend me." It's not that my wife doesn't understand, what can I do about it? ?” She choked up and wiped away her tears, then said, “Sir, since you said so, and you are a great person, maybe you are a noble star, so my son’s disaster star should be retired...” After she said that, she moved her hands and asked Gao Shi Qi went in, but told Ma Gui: "Pay two taels of silver to the house, take a piece of silk and donate to the monk, so that I can send him back to the temple."

Gao Shiqi was also afraid of the delay, the patient swallowed his breath and didn't dare to take any more medicine, so he followed Liu in with his torn robe in one hand.He left a golden monk outside the door, took the silver and left in a daze.

Han Liu's son, Han Chunhe, had already passed out of phlegm, and he lay upright on the bed, his face was as green as white with incense ashes, his belly was swollen like a drum, and the bed was raised up.Gao Shiqi didn't care about watching the tea and chatting, first opened the patient's eyelids to look, then pinched Renzhong acupoint, then lifted the quilt and thumped the patient's knee twice, but there was no response.After pondering for a moment, he sat on the edge of the hospital bed, stretched his legs, pulled Han Chunhe's skinny arm and closed his eyes to check the pulse. Then he stood up and said with a sigh of relief, "Please talk outside."

Everyone went out of the vestibule to sit down, old lady Han touched her knees and sighed: "Everyone looks like this, how can they speak differently!"

"It's different." Gao Shiqi said, "Your son can hear us talking inside."

"Really!" Han Liushi was so excited that his body moved, his eyes jumped suddenly, "So he still understands in his heart!"

"Your son's illness was misunderstood by quack doctors, do you know?" Gao Shiqi said in a serious tone, "Looking at the pulse condition, the three parts on the left are as thin as gossamer, and the right one is throbbing. The root cause of the disease is not serious, but it is a stagnation of liquid dryness and qi—I don’t know what kind of anger, or something urgent—as a result, Dongmu Huowang took advantage of Zhongtu and seriously injured his stomach. He must not be able to eat and even drink water. Vomit—don’t be in a hurry, listen to me. You don’t need to look at the prescriptions given by the previous imperial physicians, you will know that they all use spices and other medicines, which proves that they are treating according to the syndrome of Qi accumulation, but they don’t know that this is abandoning the basics and attacking the bottom line. It turned out to be a medicine for tigers and wolves. The yin liquid dries up day by day, so that the liver and intestines are not smooth, and the yang qi is even more trapped. This is more and more calamity, more and more calamity..." He shook his head and said, Han Liushi I was so anxious that I stopped: "Isn't that what Mr. said? It's all right! I don't understand the rest of the words. You just say that it can be cured but not cured!"

Gao Shiqi pondered for a while, and replied: "I dare not speak big words when I'm this kind of person. The disease can still be cured—" He stood up, dragged his broken shoes and walked away After taking two steps, he said to himself: "I'll try to use the medicine of sweetness and slowness. Well, the husband's yin soil likes softness, and sweetness can be quick. Yes, first treat the liver and then the stomach!" Han Liu saw that he was so knowledgeable, He was so prudent, his face glowed with joy, seeing the ginseng soup brought by the girl, he hurriedly held it himself, and said: "Sir, just use the medicine boldly—it's so cold, quickly bring a stove for Mr. Gao, and ask someone to prepare a table! "Gao Shiqi pondered for a while, then went to the front of the table and wrote the prescription.

When Han Liushi took it and looked at it, it was:

Small bupleurum two cents licorice four cents white peony root one or two two flowers five cents Yinqiao three cents Tongcao one cent silver silk grass one cent pea one cent red bran five cents
Decocting in a rapid fire and adding half a liang of old wine as a primer

They are all medicines that are always kept at home, so I can't help being startled.Looking up at Gao Shiqi, he only smiled and said nothing.Han Liushi hurriedly called people to "decoct the medicine", while Gao Shiqi had already started chewing in front of the banquet, Han Liushi sighed softly and sat on the sidelines, waiting quietly for news.

When the sky was twilight, Gao Shiqi was drunk from eating.A servant ran out from inside and shouted happily: "Old lady, the young master hiccupped and farted a lot, and woke up!"
