Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"In the imperial city, outside the palace, the area is open and the air circulates quickly, so adults are generally not affected. In the palace, as I have deduced before, it is not a big problem even if you stay in the palace during the period of not being in the middle of summer or during the heating period. But it is not allowed for children, especially infants and pregnant women."

"Although this experiment has only lasted for half a year, based on this result, if we continue to live in the Forbidden City, the number of offspring will begin to decrease from the beginning of this generation of the emperor's grandson, and it will be difficult for the next three or four generations to have offspring, and there is a high possibility that there will be no offspring after that."

"Moreover, this is irreparable. The organs were already damaged in the womb. Even if the imperial physicians in the palace have other options, they can't turn the tide."

"As for the elixir of immortality, the alchemists in the mansion have been thinking about it."

"After the pill is made, the toxicity will be reduced. Because cinnabar replenishes qi, the person who takes it will have a good complexion and a rosy face. The so-called longevity may just be that some people have a long life span and happened to take the pill. Moreover, the people who take the pill are either rich or noble, and they are not prone to die early. If they take too much, their bodies will become diseased, and after death they will be golden and stone-colored and not easy to rot. If the news spreads, people will believe in longevity and immortality. As for those who died from taking the pill, who still remembers it?"

Wen Beijiao continued to provide additional explanations.

King Zhou's palace employed many doctors to compile prescription books.

Also, because the King of Zhou also studied Taoism, the number of alchemists was greater than that of doctors.

The old doctors were all very experienced, and the alchemists were even more knowledgeable.

Once these records of the experimental results were brought out for discussion, everyone came to the same conclusion.

"Let me think about it."

Zhu Di's mind was a little confused.

He even had some doubts about whether he was worthy of his position.

How could something like this happen?

It took the whole country ten years to build the Forbidden City!

This was just a coincidence. Several large logs used in the main halls were obtained, and the large stone in front of the halls was also found successfully.

The construction of the imperial city in the capital took more than ten years.

How many decades are there in this lifetime?

When half of his body was about to be put into the coffin, it was discovered that he and his entire family had already moved into the coffin!

Who did he offend???!!!!

As for taking pills, he has done it before!

He even built a golden palace in Wudang Mountain because of this. Really, I am about to cry because of my own stupidity. . . .

"Go on."

Seeing that Wen Beijiao pursed his lips as if he had something to say, Xu gestured.

"Yes, Madam, there is something unrelated. I want to keep this place and continue the experiment."

Wen Beijiao knew that this was not the time to talk about it, but he was so excited to see the prey that he couldn't help himself.

"Tell me about it."

Xu encouraged.

"I often hang out with alchemists and doctors. Sometimes, the orthodox prescriptions of alchemists are similar to those of doctors. I have benefited a lot from reading them. I have read a lot of Taoist books in my spare time in the past six months. For example, the book Baopuzi by Ge Hong, the little immortal included in the Emperor's Yongle Encyclopedia, is very well written. But Mr. Ge has another book that is even more worth reading. I hope the court can collect more books by Taoist predecessors."

Wen Beijiao gestured to his little doctor and presented a book.

"'Emergency Prescriptions for the Elbow'? Medical skills? Is the young immortal a doctor?"

Xu took it, glanced at the name and asked.

"If Mr. Ge had not been obsessed with alchemy, he would have been a master of medical skills passed down from generation to generation."

Wen Beijiao's face was full of admiration.

"Emergency Prescriptions for the Elbow", as the name suggests, is a wonderful prescription for emergencies.

It records many small methods to temporarily stabilize the condition during acute attacks, including prescriptions and acupuncture techniques.

It also describes and records in detail the symptoms of each stage of smallpox, scrub typhus, beriberi and chiggers.

Ge Hong was a person from the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

However, the symptoms of smallpox were recorded in detail, and the wording was very accurate.

[Sores appear on the head, face and body, and soon spread all over the body, resembling burns, all covered with white pus, and appear as soon as they break out. If not treated immediately, the serious cases will often lead to death. After being cured, the spots on the sores turn purple and black, and take a year to disappear. This is a vicious and poisonous gas, called a gull sore.]

Although there is no record of treatment methods, it also means that people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty had already begun to study smallpox.

Wen Beijiao felt that if he read more Taoist books, he might be able to find more discoveries made by his predecessors.

Moreover, some of Ge Hong's brilliant ideas in the book also provided Wen Beijiao with a new idea.

Ge Hong thought that after being bitten by a vicious dog, the patient could use the head of the biting dog to treat the vicious dog disease, and he also had actual treatment examples. Although it was not successful and the patient died, at least the patient's life was extended for many years.

This was like opening a door for Wen Beijiao to find a new way out.

People who practice medicine have no resistance to this.

If canine disease can be treated with the brains of vicious dogs, then by analogy, what about smallpox, which is so terrifying?

Is it possible to use the pus from the abscesses on people who have been sick for treatment?

Based on this, Wen Beijiao went through all the classics of all dynasties.

This method of curing smallpox was actually tried and successfully done as early as the Song Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, but no specific method has been passed down.

Wen Beijiao wants to give it a try.

Monkey-like people, there are also ready-made people in this yard.

"Mr. Wen is righteous!"

Xu stood up and bowed solemnly to Wen Beijiao.

Anyone who dares to face smallpox, an epidemic that ordinary people try to avoid, is a hero.

"I dare not accept the gift from the Queen!"

Wen Beijiao was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Yes, Mr. Wen. The people of the Ming Dynasty are so lucky to have a doctor like Mr. Wen! Mr. Wen, do whatever you want. I will give you two children later. If you need anything, just ask them to go to the palace and ask the Crown Princess. Don't follow the slow rules of the court."

Xu helped Wen Beijiao up and gave him instructions directly.

"Mom, why don't we change the location? Let's do it in the suburbs of Beijing."

Zhang Xin suggested.

People are always careless sometimes.

Just now King Zhou said that the monkey in the experiment escaped and ate the peaches.

It would be a disaster if a monkey infected with smallpox ran away, because the botanical garden is just behind the imperial city, and there are so many ordinary people outside the imperial city.

"Xin'er is very thoughtful. Your Majesty, please make a place for us."

Xu nodded and turned to look at Zhu Di.

"This is easy. When we get back, we'll see where there are fewer people."

Zhu Di couldn't be sure at this moment, so he just nodded in agreement.

[Small science: The earliest successful case of smallpox vaccination: During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, several children of Prime Minister Wang Dan died of smallpox. When he was old and had a son, he asked a Taoist priest from Mount Emei to vaccinate his son to prevent smallpox. Twelve days after the vaccination, the pox had scabbed over. However, this is a secret method of Mount Emei, and there is only a record of the event, not the method of vaccination.]
