Volume 1 Chapter 7 The Doctor Enters the Palace
With just one treatment, Li Hong found that his body had undergone some wonderful changes. The inflammation deposited in his body seemed to be much less, and his spirit was much better than before. After getting up in the morning, he felt indescribable comfort. He knew that it was Sun Simiao's treatment that had worked. To be precise, after Sun Simiao taught him a recipe for breathing and breathing yesterday, he practiced for two hours yesterday at noon and at night, which made his body change today.
While happy, Li Hong decided to take Sun Simiao to the palace today to treat Emperor Gaozong.
When Emperor Gaozong finished his morning court, it usually took three o'clock in the Si hour, and Li Hong and Sun Simiao came to the front hall of Linde Hall in the Daming Palace at noon.
At this time, Emperor Gaozong, who had just left the court, was already very tired, and he was leaning on the couch to rest. Today, Empress Wu did not go to Zichen Temple to handle government affairs alone, but served him.
"See the father and mother!" Li Hong walked into Linde Hall and polite to Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu.
Because Emperor Gaozong was too tired, he waved his hand and did not say anything. However, Empress Wu stared at Li Hong curiously and asked in a gentle tone, "Hong'er! No need to be too polite. Why are you here in Linde Palace?"
"My mother, yesterday my son-in-law came to Chang'an City from the famous doctor Sun Simiao, invited by Zhongnan Mountain. Today I came to Linde Hall specifically to ask him to treat his father." Li Hong explained respectfully to Empress Wu.
"Famous doctor?" When Emperor Gaozong heard Li Hong invited the famous doctor to treat him, he seemed to be much more energetic and said, "Is it Sun Simiao you told me last time?"
"Yes. It's what my son told his father last time." Li Hong nodded and saw Empress Wu staring at him with confusion. He briefly introduced Sun Simiao's situation to Empress Wu and Emperor Gaozong, and then treated Sun Simiao yesterday. He said to the two of them.
After hearing Li Hong's words, Empress Wu and Emperor Gaozong moved their eyes to Li Hong's face. Their eyes suddenly lit up because they both found that Li Hong's complexion today was much better than when they saw him last time.
His eyes are clear and there is a healthy look between his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect that Sun Simiao's medical skills were so brilliant?" Emperor Gaozong was amazed after seeing Li Hong's changes and said to Empress Wu, "Empress, since Sun Simiao has such excellent medical skills, let him treat me!"
Empress Wu looked a little unhappy, but she did not object, but nodded slightly and said, "Hong'er, let Sun Simiao treat your father!"
"No!" Li Hong bowed and whispered a few words to a little eunuch in Linde Hall. The eunuch took the order and immediately stepped out of Linde Hall. When he came back again, he followed Sun Simiao.
Sun Simiao followed the little eunuch into Linde Hall and bowed to Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu.
"Minister Sun doesn't need to be polite!" Gao Zong said in a plain tone, then turned his gaze to Sun Simiao. Empress Wu also looked at Sun Simiao carefully as soon as he stepped into the hall. When they saw Sun Simiao's fairy-like and his demeanor as a paranormal, they no longer doubted what Li Hong said.
"Hong'er said that Sun Zhenren is excellent in medical skills and can cure all diseases. Then my illness will be hard for Sun Zhenren!" Gao Zong said politely. He has always been easy-going to others and rarely shows the fierce and domineering spirit of an emperor.
Sun Simiao bowed slightly and said, "Let me take your pulse first!"
Gao Zong nodded slightly.
At this time, the eunuch beside him understood and had quickly placed the vein pillow sewn by Jinxiu on the table. Emperor Gaozong placed his right hand flat on the vein pillow.
Sun Simiao placed three fingers on Emperor Gaozong's right wrist. After a long time, he finished his pulse and began to ask Emperor Gaozong about some symptoms of the wind attack.
Emperor Gaozong did not hide anything and told Sun Simiao truthfully about his pain and feelings.
After hearing this, Sun Simiao fell into deep thought. After a while, he said in a heavy tone, "Your Majesty's disease is born from the innate world and cannot be cured by medicine!"
Since Emperor Gaozong suffered from wind disease, he has been looking for many famous doctors to treat him, but there has never been any cure. He originally did not expect much from Sun Simiao, but now he has not been disappointed when he heard Sun Simiao say this.
"However, I have prescriptions that can alleviate Your Majesty's illness and relieve the onset of the disease." Sun Simiao said again, "It's just that Your Majesty needs to insist on taking medicine for a long time before it will be effective."
It can relieve his pain and relieve the onset of the disease. This is already a natural sound for Emperor Gaozong today. Therefore, he asked Sun Simiao to prescribe a prescription and asked the Imperial Hospital to decoct the medicine for him.
After Sun Simiao wrote the prescription and handed it to the eunuch beside him, Emperor Gaozong, who was overjoyed, began to reward him with a lot of gold, silver and money.
Sun Simiao did not refuse.
Just when Emperor Gaozong was about to grant Sun Simiao the imperial physician order and asked him to serve in the Imperial Medical Office, Li Hong suddenly asked, saying that he was going to ask Sun Simiao to go to the East Palace to correct it with him, and supplement and regulate medical works. The high school and Wu Hou looked confused. Li Hong told them that he wanted to correct it, supplement and regulate medical works.
After hearing this, Emperor Gaozong didn't say anything else, but his face was a little unhappy.
Because Li Hong was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would share more government pressure in the future to check and balance the power of the Empress Wu. But now he is not doing his job and editing medical books, how can he be happy?
It was just because Sun Simiao had just finished treating him and prescribed another prescription that could be effective for his condition. If he scolded Li Hong in person, he seemed to be a little disgusted with Sun Simiao's face, so he remained silent, but stared at Li Hong tightly, trying to see something from Li Hong's eyes.
Li Hong knew what Gaozong was thinking, so he didn't dare to face him anymore and lowered his head a little aggrieved.
Empress Wu, who was standing beside him, his eyes lit up when he heard Li Hong say this.
Li Hong was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and was very favored by Emperor Gaozong. In October of the third year of Longshuo, he ordered the crown prince Hong to inspect various departments and submit matters in Guangshun Gate every five days. Li Hong could make a judgment on his own as long as the minor matters were relatively small.
Therefore, Li Hong has a lot of say in the court now. If Li Hong continues to develop like this, as he grows up, he will sooner or later share the power in his hands.
This is something that Empress Wu didn't want to see.
Now Li Hong is not doing his job properly to compile any medical books. Isn’t it true that she wants?
Empress Wu said happily: "Your Majesty, since Honger has this idea, we should support him. Besides, he corrects, supplements and regulates medical works. Isn't it just to work with Sun Zhenren to find a prescription for how to cure your wind disease in ancient medical books? How can we let him down on his filial piety to you?"
With Empress Wu supporting Li Hong, Emperor Gaozong was a little helpless. He withdrew his gaze and asked, "What do the ministers in the Eastern Palace say?"
"They don't know medical skills and are not ready to participate, but they are willing to recommend talents in this field to their ministers." Li Hong knew that Emperor Gaozong had already let go, so he immediately replied.
"Since you have made a decision, I will not say anything anymore." Gao Zong thought for a moment and said, "I will allocate 100,000 guan from the national treasury. As for the personnel you need to correct, supplement and regulate medical works, you can recruit yourself! However, don't let your father down this time."
There was something unspoken in Gaozong's words, but he was a little disappointed with Li Hong's decision.
But now Li Hong could not think of anything else. Gao Zong agreed to his request. He was already very happy and hurriedly bowed to thank him.
Empress Wu was very satisfied with Li Hong's approach, and she was not willing to fall behind and said she was willing to allocate 50,000 jin of money to Li Hong. At the same time, her eyes looked at Li Hong much softer than last time. (To be continued)
