Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 215 Miracle Doctor Dai Sigong
"Your Highness is absurd. The minister is just doing his best. Ahem..." Ru Taisu replied a little bluntly.He first intended to use impeachment to deprive Hu Weiyong and other forces around Zhu Su, so as to make a name for Prince Zhu Biao.

However, now that Hu Weiyong has already been imprisoned in Beijing, his highness was entrusted by the prince to go to Su Song on behalf of the prince, as if he was a brother and friend.Instead, he became a villain who sowed discord.

The natural demeanor is a bit unnatural.

"I wonder how Mrs. Ru's condition is?" Seeing Ru Taisu's discomfort, Zhu Su turned to the doctor who was brewing medicine under the window.

The doctor had a kind appearance, his beard and hair had white silk, and he seemed to be in his prime.Seeing the royal robe on Zhu Su's body, he was not as frightened as ordinary people, he stroked his beard calmly and replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, Ru Yushi just feels cold occasionally, just need to rest for a while, and you will be fine." It's all right."

"Rest for a while...is it..." Zhu Su repeated what the doctor said, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Seeing Ru Taisu, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Before he had time to think about it, Zhu Su continued, "As an imperial official, Ru Yushi worked so hard that he got sick. It is said that Mr. Wen said that he also treated the victims of the disaster here."

"I don't know how sick the victims are? How many people are sick?"

Hearing that Zhu Su asked about the disaster victims, Ru Taisu, Wei Guan and the doctor all looked solemn.Compassion appeared on the old doctor's face: "Your Highness, thank you. There are many people who are sick here, and the situation is not optimistic."

"Although the old man let the victims smoke the mosquitoes, flies and poisonous insects with wormwood and sulfur, many people either contracted the cold, or had unbearable abdominal pain..."

"Is anyone infected with the epidemic?" Wei Guan, the prefect of Suzhou, asked anxiously.

"I've never been infected with the epidemic..." said the old doctor.Before Wei Guanshu could breathe a sigh of relief, the old doctor continued to say, "Although I'm not infected with the epidemic now, I once diagnosed and treated the 'big belly disease' that was popular in Jiangnan during the Yuan Dynasty."

"There are a few people here...the symptoms are similar to those of the patients who will suffer from the 'big belly disease'!"

"Ah!" Wei Guan exclaimed, almost falling to the ground.

What is "big belly disease"?The scientific name in later generations is called "schistosomiasis", which is a difficult disease caused by parasites.Affected patients often have abdominal distension, such as pregnancy.Therefore, it was called "big belly disease" in Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

At that time, we didn't know where the parasites came from, nor did we know how the pathogens spread. Therefore, it was often difficult to prevent and control them. Once discovered, a major epidemic would often be set off.

If the "big belly disease" arises in Suzhou City, it will be worse for Suzhou City, which is suffering from internal and external troubles!
"The old man has isolated him for the time being, and tried his best to diagnose and treat it... But if it is really a big belly disease, Your Highness, two adults, please make a decision early..." The old doctor said with difficulty, his tone full of helplessness.

"After all, big belly disease... is difficult to prevent and cure. If the disease breaks out, it will easily spread to the whole city..."

He didn't finish the sentence, but everyone present understood the meaning of the words.What he meant was that if these people were really suffering from a big stomach disease, they would have to cut off their wrists and send these people out of the city to give up completely.

Ru Taisu, Wei Guan, and even Yao Guangxiao and Luo Guanzhong behind Zhu Su were also silent.These refugees can only survive in the city. If some of them are sent out of the city, how can their relatives and family members be willing?

At that time, even if there were high-ranking officials living and eating here, I am afraid that the fragile tranquility here would not be able to be suppressed.If the disaster victims in the city are in turmoil, the city of Suzhou will inevitably be in chaos, not to mention there will be thieves and bandits who don't know where they are hiding...

"Hmm. I know the general situation." Zhu Su rubbed his chin through the mask, and couldn't help giving the old doctor a high look.Although this doctor is just a doctor, he understands the importance of the overall situation and knows how to not stick to the benevolence of women. He advised the magistrate and Xunhe Yushi to be prepared for a strong man to cut off his wrist... Just based on this alone, it is known that he is not an ordinary doctor. He is a benevolent man who truly cares about the world.

It is even higher than that of Lao Li from the Tai Hospital.

Moreover, according to what he said, he had diagnosed and treated schistosomiasis in the Yuan Dynasty.You must know that this kind of "schistosomiasis" is also called "poor disease", and it is mostly only suffered by the working people at the bottom.It is not profitable to diagnose and treat this disease.It is another kind of epidemic disease. Ordinary doctors heard about it and ran away early in the morning. He has actually diagnosed and treated it, which shows that he has a kind heart and rich experience.

"Can the old man tell you his name?" Zhu Su asked respectfully.

"I don't dare to be a big name. The old Zhejiang Dai Yuanli." The old doctor replied.

"But Zhu Danxi's disciple, Mr. Suzhai Gongdai?" Before Zhu Su could respond, Yao Guangxiao came back and asked respectfully.Seeing Zhu Su's puzzled face, Yao Guangxiao immediately explained Zhu Su's doubts: "This Mr. Dai is a younger brother of the famous doctor 'Danxi Weng'. !"

"Ah! Could it be that you are Dai Sigong?" Zhu Su suddenly woke up.

Dai Sigong!The most famous imperial doctor in the Hongwu period!In the history of Lao Zhu's super long standby time, this imperial doctor Dai contributed a lot.With Lao Zhu's temperament of killing imperial doctors at every turn, the current Li Yuanzheng is always in awe of Lao Zhu's dragon power.But this Dai Sigong often talks and laughs happily with Lao Zhu, and is even introduced as an old friend by Lao Zhu.

According to historical records, in the 31st year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu was ill and could not be cured for a long time. He ordered the arrest of the medical officer, but only comforted Dai Sigong and said: "You are a benevolent and righteous person, so don't be afraid." He is still reused.This shows how much he attaches importance to Dai Sigong.After Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, he arrested the doctor who treated Lao Zhu, but Dai Sigong was not only not guilty, but was promoted to the imperial hospital envoy.

It spanned three dynasties, and even after Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, it also gave him more courtesy.Dai Sigong resigned from office, but Zhu Di recalled him to Beijing to serve.

Throughout his life, he cured Zhu Yan's paralysis and also cured Zhu Di's "sickness in the chest". As the most respected imperial doctor, he even cured Zhu Yuanzhang's many diseases several times.After his death, Zhu Di personally wrote a sacrificial oration for the doctor and sent someone to offer sacrifices.

He is also well-known in the Chinese medicine circle of later generations. His teacher Zhu Danxi is known as "Zhu Banxian", which is comparable to the later Li Shizhen.Dai Sigong, Zhu Danxi's beloved disciple, is even rumored to have grown out of blue.

When Zhu Su was in the palace before, he wondered why he couldn't find this genius doctor in the imperial hospital, but he didn't expect it to be here.Old Li is old and obsessive, and he is not very interested in the medical knowledge that Zhu Su intends to instill.But if this miracle doctor Dai...

Maybe, I can help him improve his medical skills, relieve the cloud of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao's untimely death, and even promote the development of the entire medical field of Ming Dynasty!
