Chapter 294 Divine Doctor Zhang Zhongjing
Han Zhan quickly ordered Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, immediately send someone to ask the officials who were traveling with him, is there a person named Zhang Ji?"
"Zhang Ji?" Huang Zhong was stunned when he heard this name, and then asked back: "Is the lord talking about the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing?"
When Han Zhan heard that Huang Zhong actually knew Zhang Zhongjing, he showed a surprise expression on his face. He hurriedly asked, "Has Han Sheng heard of this person?"
"That's right, the last general knows this person." Huang Zhong nodded and said, "Several years ago, there was a famous doctor Chen Huai in his seventies in Nanyang. He felt that there was no successor in his medical skills, so he became depressed. The local doctors had all gone to see him, but the result was even worse. After Zhang Zhongjing learned about this, he recommended himself to Chen Huai's house to treat him.
Zhang Zhongjing checked the condition and was diagnosed with the disease of Shen Huai, so he immediately prescribed a prescription, using one pound of grains and noodles, making it into a pill, applying cinnabar on the outside, and asking the patient to eat it.
Chen Huai felt funny when he saw this prescription. He specially ordered his family to hang the pills made of grain noodles under the eaves, pointing at the pills when they meet everyone, and taking the opportunity to ridicule Zhang Zhongjing.
When his relative came to see him, he pointed to the pill and said, "Look! This is the prescription that Zhang Zhongjing prescribed for me. Who has ever seen grains and grains cure diseases? A joke! It's a huge joke!"
When a friend came to see him, he pointed to the pill and said, "Look! This is the prescription that Zhang Zhongjing prescribed for me. Who can eat five kilograms of noodles in one meal? It's so funny! It's so funny!"
When a fellow doctor came to see him, he also pointed to the pill and said to them: "Look, look! This is the prescription that Zhang Zhongjing prescribed for me. I have been practicing medicine for decades and have never heard of this prescription...'
He only thought about this matter being ridiculous, and he threw away all the worries and thoughts. Before he knew it, his worrying disease was cured without hesitation.
After learning about this, Zhang Zhongjing visited again to congratulate him on his recovery from his worries. At this time, Chen Huai learned that the prescription Zhang Zhongjing prescribed for him was a right medicine and was specially used to treat him. In order to thank Zhang Zhongjing for his kindness in his treatment, Chen Huai taught him all his life's learning."
After listening to Huang Zhong's story with interest, Han Zhan was about to ask the other party whether this was a real thing or a folk rumor. But then he thought that Huang Zhong was from Nanyang. He knew that such a thing was normal, so he would not use any rumors to make him happy. As soon as Huang Zhong finished speaking, he quickly ordered: "Han Sheng, I think that only this miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing can treat the typhoid fever of the daughter of Lu Zhou's family. You can quickly ask the officials who accompany him to see that he can be in it."
Huang Zhong knew that Xiao Zhouping's condition was critical and did not dare to neglect, so he hurried to search for it. He came to the place where officials lived and asked a person who looked like a minor official: "I dare to ask this brother, I wonder if there is a man named Zhang Ji among you?"
The little official knew Huang Zhong. After hearing his question, he quickly bowed and replied respectfully: "Report to General Huang, Mr. Zhang is still here half an hour ago."
When Huang Zhong heard what the little official said, he couldn't help but be ecstatic. It seemed that his tone was really good. Zhang Zhongjing was indeed among the officials accompanying him. He quickly grabbed the little official's arm and asked excitedly: "I wonder where Mr. Zhang is now?"
The little official looked around and pointed to the east, saying, "Mr. Zhang saw that someone among the people had been infected with a disease after a long journey, so he went there to only take a diagnosis and treatment."
After Huang Zhong thanked the minor official, he quickly walked towards the direction he pointed. After walking about a hundred steps, he saw a long queue outside the door of a tent. He came to the end of the line and asked the elderly person standing at the last: "Brother, what are you doing here?"
When the people saw a general wearing a helmet and armor asking him, they were startled at first. After seeing clearly the person who was Huang Zhong, they replied respectfully: "Report to General Huang, the villain heard that there was a miracle doctor named Zhang here for consultation. He was feeling a little uncomfortable, so they came over to take a look."
After Huang Zhong confirmed that Zhang Zhongjing was in the tent, he quickly walked towards the tent. He came to the tent and saw a table inside with paper and pen on the table. Zhang Zhongjing was sitting behind the desk and was taking his pulse. In order not to disturb the other party's medical treatment, Huang Zhong stopped and stood outside the tent and waited patiently.
After the woman finished her illness and came out of the tent, Huang Zhong stepped into the tent. When the people outside the tent saw a general walking into the tent first, they felt dissatisfied, but they did not dare to complain casually, so as not to cause unintentional disaster to themselves.
Hearing heavy footsteps, Zhang Zhongjing heard a military general. Only when a person wearing heavy armor walked, the footsteps were so heavy. Therefore, he asked without raising his head, "Where are you in trouble?"
Huang Zhong quickly bowed to the other party: "I have met Mr. Zhang."
When Zhang Zhongjing heard that the person who came was actually Nanyang accent, he couldn't help feeling friendly and quickly raised his head. After he saw that it was Huang Zhong, he quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "It turns out that General Huang has arrived. I have never been to welcome him. Please forgive me."
After the two fellow Nanyang villagers chatted for a few words, Huang Zhong directly explained his purpose: "Mr. Zhang, Huang is here to ask you to see a patient at the order of his lord."
Hearing that Huang Zhong came on the order of Han Zhan, Zhang Zhongjing restrained the smile on his face and said lightly: "General Huang, you must have seen how many people are waiting for treatment outside the tent. How could I leave many people behind for a relative of the Jizhou Governor?"
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Zhongjing finished speaking, Huang Zhong actually laughed: "Mr. I misunderstood. The person who asked my lord to treat me was not his family, but the granddaughter of the Taifu Lu Kui and the granddaughter of the Great Master Zhou Huan whom Li Guo killed when he conquered the capital."
"It turns out to be the loyal descendant," Zhang Zhongjing still admired Lu Kui, Zhou Huan and others who died with Wang Yun and others. He learned that he was their descendants, so he was naturally obliged to ask, "I don't know where the patient is now?"
Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing agreed, Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel secretly happy and hurriedly said to him: "Sir, please follow me."
Zhang Zhongjing followed Huang Zhong out of the tent, looked at the long line, and hesitated for a moment. Then he bowed to the anxious people and said, "My fellow villagers, Zhang is going to visit a patient first. Please wait here. At most half an hour, Zhang will come back." After saying this, he turned to Huang Zhong and said, "Let's go."
Huang Zhong led Zhang Zhongjing to the carriage of Zhou and Xiao Zhouping of Lu. He stopped and said to Zhang Zhongjing: "Mr. Zhang, the patient is in the car. Please go to treat him by yourself. Huang must go back and report to the lord immediately."
Zhang Zhongjing got on the carriage, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage. Seeing the Lu Zhou family holding Xiao Zhouping tightly in his arms, he said kindly: "I'm the doctor who invited the Jizhou Mu to treat the little girl!"
When Lu Zhou found that Xiao Zhouping was infected with typhoid fever, she immediately felt that the sky had fallen. In order not to lose her daughter, she took the lucky mentality and asked the soldiers who guarded her to ask Han Zhan for help. She thought that the other party had no time to care about a small person like her, but she didn't expect that in less than a stick of incense, even the doctor who treated the disease was invited. She hurriedly bent over to Zhang Zhongjing and said gratefully: "I'm working hard."
After Zhang Zhongjing took the pulse for Xiao Zhou Ping, he couldn't help but frown. He already knew that the child was infected with typhoid fever, and there was no good treatment for this medicine. He could only do his best to prescribe a decoction for her. Whether it could be cured depends on her personal luck.
Just as Zhang Zhongjing was prescribing the prescription, he suddenly felt the carriage shaking. Then someone lifted the curtain from outside. He heard a voice asking, "Doctor Zhang, here?"
Zhang Zhongjing felt that the voice was very familiar. When he turned his head, he found that it was Han Zhan. Because there was not much space in the carriage and it was difficult to get up and salute, he sat in the carriage and bowed to Han Zhan: "Zhang Ji has met the governor of Jizhou."
"No gifts, no gifts." Han Zhan waved his hand to Zhang Zhongjing, then sat beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Zhang, I wonder if the child's condition is serious?"
Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said to Han Zhan: "Governor of Jizhou, please forgive Zhang for being a little unfamiliar with his knowledge. If you want to cure the child's illness, you will not be able to do so. Zhang is now prescribed a dose of medicine. Whether it can be cured depends on the luck of the child."
When Lu Zhou heard Zhang Zhongjing say that he was not able to cure Xiao Zhou Ping's typhoid fever, he immediately sobbed. Han Zhan was confused and thought that Zhang Zhongjing, who wrote "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", could not cure his child's typhoid fever. This is a fantasy.
A little doubt came to his heart. Is the person in front of him really the saint of medical saint Zhang Zhongjing? But soon he overturned his doubts. He remembered that there were more than 200 people in Zhang Zhongjing's family, two-thirds of whom died of typhoid fever, which led to Zhang Zhongjing's efforts to develop a way to treat typhoid fever. Could it be that he came to this era too early, so that Zhang Zhongjing had not made any achievements in curing typhoid fever?
Thinking of this, he decided to use the common sense he knew to help Xiao Zhou Ping. So he asked Zhang Zhongjing tactfully: "Mr. Zhang, what is the pulse of the child when you were diagnosed and treated?"
Zhang Zhongjing casually said: "If there is no sweat and the pulse is floating and tight, it is undoubtedly typhoid."
As soon as Zhang Zhongjing finished speaking, Han Zhan quickly searched in his mind for the medical skills he had seen. Fortunately, after traveling through time, his memory became particularly good. He could basically recall the books he read in the past, including the prescription for typhoid fever. He coughed and said to Zhang Zhongjing: "Mr. Zhang, I believe that Mahuang Decoction can be used to treat the child."
"Mahuang Tang?" Zhang Zhongjing widened his eyes in surprise when he heard Han Zhan say this.
Han Zhan is a thorough layman in medicine. He can only remember a few prescriptions, so he pretended to say: "You can use four medicines such as ephedra, cinnamon twig, almond and licorice, decocted in water to take it. It can cure symptoms of chills and fever, headache and body pain, no sweating and wheezing, thin and white tongue coating, floating and tight pulse."
For a miraculous doctor like Zhang Zhongjing, Han Zhan's prescription made him feel lit up. He quickly bowed to Han Zhan and said, "I didn't expect that the Jizhou Mu was still proficient in the art of Qihuang. Using this prescription, the child will definitely be cured. Zhang will go back to decoct medicine for the child and say goodbye!"
After Zhang Zhongjing left, Han Zhan saw Lu Zhou looking at him with a startled look, and smiled and said, "Lu Zhou, don't worry. When Mr. Zhang boils the medicine, the child will be cured after taking two doses of medicine."
Lu Zhou put Xiao Zhou Ping aside, bowed to the carriage, and said in a crying voice: "Mr. Ting is unforgettable to me, mother and daughter. I will definitely be a cow and horse in the next life to repay Ting's great kindness."
Han Zhan waved his hand to Lu Zhou and stood up and left the carriage. On the way back to the tent, he thought to himself: "Since Zhang Zhongjing has no good treatment for typhoid fever at this moment, should he hand over the several prescriptions he remembered so that he can save more people?"
Back in the tent, he ordered people to take paper and pen and write on paper all the Guizhi Decoction for treating stroke, Mahuang Decoction for treating typhoid fever and Daqinglong Decoction. He originally wanted to write a few prescriptions in "Compendium of Materia Medica", but he was worried that it would arouse Zhang Zhongjing's suspicion, so he had to give up.
After the prescription was written, Han Zhan immediately sent someone to give it to Zhang Zhongjing. Zhang Zhongjing, who was ordering someone to decoct medicine, couldn't help frowning after seeing the prescription Han Zhan gave him. From Han Zhan's performance on the carriage just now, he knew nothing about the treatment. If he rashly used this prescription, what should he do if he was cured?
Just when Zhang Zhongjing was planning to burn this prescription, he suddenly thought that he was decorating medicine for Xiao Zhouping and asked the child to try the effect of this medicine later. If it can really cure the child's typhoid fever, it proves that there is a master behind Jizhou Mu. If there is a chance, he must be shameless and ask Jizhou Mu to recommend it on his behalf.
After the decoction was ready, Zhang Zhongjing immediately ordered someone to send it to Xiao Zhouping, and he continued to stay in the tent to diagnose the people. After he had finished treating all the patients, more than an hour had passed. He packed up his things and stood up to head towards the carriage where the Zhou family in Lu was.
Just as he walked to the carriage, Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the carriage, exclaimed in surprise when he saw Zhang Zhongjing's arrival, then got off the carriage, quickly came to Zhang Zhongjing, knelt down and kowtowed to him, and said, "Thank you, my daughter, after taking the medicine sent by my beloved, her body heat has subsided and she is sleeping soundly."
