My father is Jiajing

Chapter 263 Sensible Si Hua

Emperor Jiajing, along with a small team of guards, took advantage of the cover of night and quietly went to the Xishan Divine Pharmacy in the western suburbs of the capital.

When he arrived here, Zhu Zaigui had already left the Shenyao Institute with Meng Chong, Si Hua and others, and then went to Jinshan according to the order of Emperor Jiajing to pay tribute to his two brothers who died young: Prince Aichong Zhu Zaiji and Prince Zhuangjing Zhu Zaizhen.

Speaking of these two brothers who died young, Zhu Zaigui's heart was full of emotion.

It is not known whether this is due to the backward medical conditions in ancient times or there are other conspiracy theories.

In any case, in Zhu Zaigui's inherent impression of history, when a dynasty reaches its middle and late stages, the emperor will always die out for various reasons, which will in turn affect the survival of the dynasty, as if it was really God's will to destroy it.

So when Zhu Zaigui came to Jinshan to pay homage to these two brothers whom he had never met, Zhu Zaigui couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether many of his children would die in the future due to various reasons?

When he thought of this, Zhu Zaigui's mood became bad, as if his future child would really die young.

After all, in the world before Zhu Zaigui traveled through time, the premature death of a child was a rare accident.

No matter how ordinary a family is, as long as they are not extremely unlucky, their children can almost grow up safely unless they have congenital diseases or encounter accidents such as sneaking out for wild swimming.

But in the Ming Dynasty today, these children seem to be as fragile as porcelain dolls. If you are not careful, unpredictable accidents may happen, causing people to regret.

It seemed that the death of children in this era was as common as everyday occurrence, but Zhu Zaigui found it difficult to accept it.

After Zhu Zaigui finished paying homage to Crown Prince Ai Chong and Crown Prince Zhuang Jing, he said to Meng Chong who was following him, "Go back and tell Doctor Li to recruit some doctors who are good at pediatrics to the medical college. Study and learn according to the newly established new medical system to see if we can train a group of professional doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating pediatric diseases."

"As for money, this king will not be stingy. As long as the funds are approved by this king, they can be directly approved."

Although Zhu Zaigui didn't know much medical knowledge, he still had some basic medical knowledge.

Therefore, we have some confidence in guiding great figures of the time such as Li Shizhen to study the development and response of pathology in a microscopic and precise direction.

After all, the cornerstone of modern medicine is to rely on precise pathological research, combined with precise drugs and pharmaceuticals, to truly achieve the right medicine for the right disease, so that more diseases have more accurate treatment plans and drugs.

Although Traditional Chinese Medicine has a long history, the fluctuations in its prescriptions and medicines are too great. Even the most skilled doctor cannot accurately control the dosage of the medicines he prescribes to the gram.

Moreover, most half-baked Chinese medicine practitioners are still stuck on the theoretical basis of the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", which is similar to the cultivation of immortals.

We are still emphasizing such mysterious classical medical theories as qi and meridians, and interpreting the health changes of the human body with the philosophical thinking of yin and yang and the five elements.

But sometimes, in some situations, doctors are not given any time to think about qi, meridians, and the issues between yin and yang and the five elements.

But once some diseases come, they cannot be cured by just talking.

Moreover, even after a thorough examination, the symptoms are confirmed and a prescription is given, some medicines still require how long to be boiled over low or high heat, how many bowls of water to boil, etc. This type of medical treatment may be effective in health care or chronic disease conditioning, but if it is used for some more difficult and rapid acute diseases, the patient may be dead by the time the medicine is boiled.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui's current requirement for Li Shizhen is to let him complete a magnificent transformation in traditional medicine and explore modern medicine that is more accurate and more in line with practical significance.

Once he or his disciples can really blaze a new trail on this path, there will probably no longer be such ridiculous disputes between Chinese and Western medicine, but only progress and development in the same vein.

Therefore, before traveling through time, Zhu Zaigui looked down on some people who were extremely obsessed with a certain medical method. For example, some people who believed in traditional Chinese medicine would not use any Western medicine to treat their illnesses; and some people who believed in Western medicine would not use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate their health when they were weak.

Therefore, when dealing with so-called traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, Zhu Zaigui always adhered to the creed that a reliable doctor is a good doctor. If it is unreliable, even if it says it is amazing and can make you immortal, it is still rubbish. It is even more nonsense to say that one medicine can cure all diseases!

If there really was such a medicine in the world, many doctors and hospitals would probably be unemployed and close down. However, doctors and hospitals are still extremely busy and hardworking, which shows that there is no miracle medicine that can cure all diseases in the world.

If there is, he is a charlatan. If you believe it, then you are a complete idiot!

After coming out of the Royal Cemetery in Jinshan, Zhu Zaigui breathed a sigh of relief. Although the scenery of the Jinshan Cemetery was also very beautiful, it was still a bit gloomy and made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Zaigui raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the magic medicine in the distance and asked, "What do you think your majesty is feeling now? Just now when I was offering sacrifices, I seemed to vaguely feel a seismic movement. I guess this time, the two immortals Lei Dezi and Nuo Dezi must have increased the amount of the magic medicine and gave your majesty a big surprise!"

Meng Chong hummed and replied, "Your Majesty must have been shocked and speechless for a long time. The power of the magic medicine explosion yesterday has made me feel palpitations. Especially when the ground shook just now, I almost ran away."

Zhu Zaigui smiled and said, "Look at how capable you are. But the fact that you can think this way shows that this magic medicine is powerful. Otherwise, why would it make you want to run away? Let's wait here for His Majesty's order."

Zhu Zaigui and Meng Chong arrived at a royal garden near Jinshan, where Zhu Zaigui quietly waited for the order of Emperor Jiajing.

After all, Emperor Jiajing did not let him return to Beijing directly, but only asked him to come to Jinshan to worship. This was obviously to comply with the prophecy of "two dragons never meet" and to stagger his itinerary with that of Emperor Jiajing.

Now that the worship was over, Zhu Zaigui certainly couldn't just pat his butt and leave. Otherwise, when Emperor Jiajing's decree came to look for him again, he would be gone. That would be very embarrassing.

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Zaigui was naturally happy to leisurely enjoy the scenery in this royal garden and experience the aristocratic enjoyment of a noble family.

At this time, Si Hua also obediently served tea to Zhu Zaigui and rubbed his shoulders, appearing very shy and gentle.

At the same time, during these few days, Si Hua also truly felt Zhu Zaigui's strength and indifference, as if his every word and action carried incredible power, directly controlling the life and death future of everyone he saw.

Therefore, with such a feeling, Si Hua couldn't help but imagine how tall a mountain the future Prince Yu would be, and what a brilliant life she would have under the protection of this mountain!

So at this moment, Si Hua couldn't help but feel that she was luckier than she had imagined, otherwise how could she be chosen to go to Prince Yu's Mansion and become Prince Yu's female instructor?
Although it was Prince Yu who taught her most of the time, she was not stupid. She could feel that Prince Yu was so fond of teaching her because her appearance was just in line with his aesthetic standards, not because he really liked her.

Therefore, Si Hua never dared to take advantage of her favor and could only serve Zhu Zaigui carefully, hoping that after Zhu Zaigui's wedding, he would still show her a little favor and make her future more promising.
