Chapter 12: Leaving the palace and trapped in the capital

The poem says:

Li Mingfeng returned to his hometown and only looked after sick children and old people without bullying.

When I look at the capital and miss the wise disciples, I don't know that the disaster is coming from Xiaoqiang.

Talking about the old miracle doctor Li Ming, early on the second day, under the escort of Eunuch Liu, the chief eunuch of the Procurement Office, and Magistrate Luo, he was sitting in an eight-carry sedan given by the emperor, with a 16-pound gong in front of it, and 24 government officials holding it high.

Holding a big flag, six young eunuchs rode behind to escort them. It could be said that they walked along the official road, crossed the Lugou Bridge, and headed towards Liangxiang County.

There were people standing around who were watching the fun, and everyone was talking. Some people said, "Brother, look at this scene, you don't know who the big shot is going to Liangxiang County. What the county boss did is 4

It's a small sedan, but now I'm riding in a big sedan with eight lifts, and you can see that this sedan is different from ordinary official sedans, it seems to have a royal style, is it some prince or princess who wants to go to a good hometown?"

Another said, "You can really be ridiculous. Our current emperor is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Those princes and princesses travel on horseback. Where have I seen the emperor's princess and young princes riding in sedans? These are used as sedans.

Yes, they are all civil servants of the Han people, but I have never heard of them.

Who is going to travel to Liangxiang County? Look at this formation, this official must be a big one. With 16 pounds of gongs to clear the way and 24 big flags, it can be said that he is a high-ranking minister. Is there any official who will return?

Are you worshiping ancestors in Liangxiang County? I haven’t heard that Liangshan County produced such a big official?"

Another person said, "Both of you are just guessing. The person sitting in this sedan chair is someone I know. Someone in our family is an official in the court. There was a plague in the palace some time ago, and it was this old miracle doctor who was sitting in the sedan chair."

After he was cured, in order to commend the merits of this old miracle doctor, the Long Live Lord gave him an eight-carriage sedan chair and asked the eunuch in charge to

Escorts must be ordered to pick up and drop off all states and counties passing by. The people in this sedan are neither dignitaries, princesses, princes, nor ministers, but ordinary people who provide medical consultations to us people.

Old miraculous doctor Li Ming, I dare not say anything about others, but this old miraculous doctor should be the one who should make this sedan chair."

As everyone listened, they puffed up their chests with pride. A country doctor who usually treated the common people was rewarded by the emperor with an eight-carriage sedan chair. He returned to his hometown in glory, and was welcomed and escorted by the great gentlemen. It was really

It gave us common people a prestige, so everyone applauded vigorously in unison. This applause alarmed Mr. Liu.

Manager Liu said to Magistrate Luo next to him, "Master Luo, if you hadn't introduced the magical legend of Divine Doctor Li to me last night, I would still be surprised at the reaction of the people today. Now it seems that Divine Doctor Li is a well-known person in western Beijing."

After a moment of commotion, the people turned to him

He was so polite. With so many official sedans coming and going, when had he ever won such warm applause from the people? It seems that Dr. Li is really a prodigy. He has such a high prestige among the people, which also shows that the Liao Kingdom is peaceful and peaceful.

Huang En is so powerful."

Magistrate Luo said to Mr. Liu, "Mr. Liu, Dr. Li has been practicing medicine in the west of Beijing for so many years. In this land and water in the west of Beijing, there is no one in any village or town who has not sought medical treatment from him? Dr. Li's methods are so miraculous.

, I don’t know how to save it.

How many lives have been saved, and how many people's illnesses have been cured? Among the people around them, there are countless people who have received the favor of Divine Doctor Li. They heard that Divine Doctor Li returned to his hometown in such a glorious way, which ordinary people are not happy?

?”

Manager Liu continued, "Lord Luo, even if you serve as a county magistrate or a magistrate, you won't be so popular with the people. As the ancients said, if a scholar is not a good minister, he can be a good doctor, and he must be a capable minister and good minister.

It's better to be a good doctor who saves people from fire and water. Look at the majesty of Dr. Li. Not only is Huang Enhao rich in rewards, but he also returns to his hometown in glory. It's really enviable."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the border between Liangxiang and Wanping counties. They saw that Liangxiang County was also led by the magistrate. A group of people had already lined up in the pipeline to greet them. They saw eight large sedan chairs being escorted by Manager Liu.

, as they filed in, Mr. Yang, the magistrate of Liangxiang County, hurriedly came forward to greet them.

He took care of Mr. Liu's luggage, and then kowtowed to Mr. Luo, the prefect of Luo. Mr. Liu stepped forward and scolded, "Bold Liangxiang County, after seeing the official sedan gifted by the emperor, you didn't hurry up and salute Divine Doctor Li. Are you going to let me

Shall I punish you for your crime of deceiving the emperor?"

As soon as he heard Manager Liu's reprimand, Mr. Yang, the magistrate of Liangxiang County, woke up immediately and hurriedly kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to the eight-carriage sedan. This gift from the emperor was as if he was personally present. How dare you neglect it?

Okay? A seventh-grade county can only salute a common man.

The old miracle doctor Li Ming was sitting in the sedan chair and was not aware of the situation outside, because without his words, the farewell procession did not stop. However, the prefect Luo went back as soon as he arrived here, and stepped forward to say goodbye to Manager Liu.

Master Luo, the prefect, bowed his hands to Manager Liu and said, "Eunuch Liu, my subordinates have been sent here by order. From now on, Liangxiang County will escort the old miracle doctor home. I will say goodbye."

Manager Liu also bowed to Mr. Luo on horseback and said loudly, "Mr. Luo, I'm sorry that I'm busy with official duties and it's hard to keep me here, so I'll say goodbye." Then he rode his horse and moved forward.

Mr. Yang, the magistrate of Liangxiang County, saw that the send-off team did not stop at all, but walked towards Niuquan Village as usual. He quickly got on the green-clothed sedan with four seats, and ordered the three groups of government officials, officials and

The servants trotted all the way to follow the team.

The farewell team was still huge, heading towards the old miracle doctor Li Ming's clinic and Niuquan Village. The old miracle doctor Li Ming, who was sitting in the sedan, really didn't care about this at all, and was not moved by the glorious return to his hometown.

He was complacent because his apprentice was still in the palace and still uneasy.

What happened to Li Deren in the palace? Listen to me and tell you slowly.

Accompanied by Yuan Guixiang, Li Deren was still patrolling around the palace. Because the old genius doctor Li Ming was excusing the imperial doctors in the Jinluan Hall, the people in the imperial medical team were now very polite and caring, so they were cooperating with him.

The treatment was also very active, and everyone showed their talents and put all the money they had accumulated into it.

All the medical skills were poured out, and all kinds of Chinese medicine preparations, soups, pills, and powders were used. Those eunuchs and maids who were sick recovered quickly, and were then confined to various palaces.

When going out, concubines, eunuchs and maids in the palace are not allowed to visit even if they are not sick.

On the 10th day, all those who had contracted the disease had recovered. Li Deren asked Yuan Guixiang to ask the emperor for an order, and then with the emperor's approval, Li Deren was released from the palace.

Before leaving the palace, Yuan Guixiang asked Li Deren, "Sir, this is a great achievement of yours. Don't you want a reward from the emperor?"

Li Deren smiled and said, "The emperor wants to make me a master, but my master has already declined. As a young apprentice, how can I still ask for a reward from the emperor? But I still want to ask for something from the adults."

After spending more than ten days together day and night, Yuan Guixiang, the chief eunuch, has taken a new look at Li Deren. Although this young doctor is much younger than him, he admires him from the bottom of his heart. First, he admires his courage to accept the imperial treatment by himself.

one plague, the other is

I admire his medical skills. He can tell that this is an epidemic in just a few words. If someone at such a young age can do this, will he be able to do it again in the future? What I admire most is that he treats all the eunuchs and maids who are sick, and he can be said to treat them equally.

Even among the princesses, she is neither humble nor arrogant.

When Yuan Guixiang heard what Li Deren said he wanted to ask for, he smiled and said to him, "Sir, do you regret it?"

Li Deren said, "Mr. Yuan, please have mercy, my medicine box is now empty, and I don't have a penny in my hand. I still need to rely on my craftsmanship to return to my hometown, but what should I do if I don't have medicine in my hand?"

What? So I hope that the boss will give me a reward, that is, let me go to the Tai Hospital, fill my box, and tell the Tai Hospital about the medicine I choose. You, the old man, will definitely help me with this, right?"

Yuan Guixiang looked at Li Deren with strange eyes and thought, why can't such a shrewd doctor not do this?

What about something simple? If he opens his mouth, I would dare to make the decision for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he doesn’t want a penny, he just wants to fill his medicine box, and he has to rely on himself

His craftsmanship returned to his hometown, which has to be admired.

Yuan Guixiang accompanied your people to the Imperial Hospital. When he spoke to the imperial doctors in charge of the Imperial Hospital, these imperial doctors were also stunned. They quickly opened the medicine box and let Li Deren choose. After a while, he took the little

The small medicine box is filled to the brim.

Li Deren smiled with satisfaction and said to Yuan Guixiang, "Master Manager, you have to send me out of the palace, otherwise the eunuch guarding the door won't let me out."

Yuan Guixiang accompanied Li Deren to the palace gate and said goodbye to him.

Li Deren said goodbye to Yuan Guixiang. After leaving the palace, he carried a small sample box on his back, shook the leader in his hand, and walked in the streets and alleys of the capital, preparing to seek medical consultation.

Just as I walked into a courtyard, the sound of a bell summoned a child from inside.

The child looked at Li Deren with wide eyes and said, "Sir, my little mother is sick in the house. Please take a look at her quickly."

Li Deren agreed, followed the child into the yard, and then walked into the house. He saw a middle-aged woman lying on the kang, her face was sallow, and she looked like she was in pain.

Li Deren quickly put down the medicine box, took out a cloth bag from the medicine box, and placed it on the edge of the bed. The woman lying on the bed put her hand on the cloth bag, and Li Deren began to diagnose her pulse.

After his pulse was healed, Li Deren opened the medicine box again, took out the needle pack from the box, made some preparations, and then inserted a few silver needles into the middle-aged woman's head, and inserted needles into the cavities of her hands.

A silver needle was pierced on each side of her head, and she pushed several silver needles on her head with her hands. The middle-aged woman took a long breath and shouted loudly, "Oh, it hurts me so much."

"

The middle-aged woman sat up from the bed with a bang. Her face had turned rosy. When she saw Li Deren giving her acupuncture, her mood slowly calmed down and she said softly, "Doctor, did our young master call you over?"

Are you here to treat me? Thank you very much, but I have something to ask of you, and I don’t know if you will agree to it or not.”

Li Deren said, "Auntie, I am a doctor. If someone is sick, I can help take a look at it. I can't help with other things."

The middle-aged woman said slowly, "Doctor, our eldest wife is sick. We have gone to many doctors but can't see her. It would be great if you could help take a look."

Li Deren continued, "Auntie, I don't think you have any illness. You are just depressed in your chest. It seems that you have blood stagnation. After a few injections of mine, you are completely healed. Is it because of your aunt's illness?

Are you in a hurry?"

The middle-aged woman said, "Doctor, you are absolutely right. As long as you take good care of my wife's illness, I won't have any illnesses at all. Okay, okay, I'll take you there now."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she got off the kang, put on her shoes, and took Li Deren with her. She turned left and right in the alley and came to the back door of a deep house. She knocked on the door and a maid opened the door. The middle-aged woman took Li Deren in.

After entering the big courtyard, we walked a few times among the difficult paintings and came to a large and spacious house. The middle-aged woman said to Li Deren, "This is it."

Suddenly, a woman's howl came from the yard. The sound of pain was heartbreaking and shocked your people. You just walked into the house cautiously with the middle-aged woman, and saw a woman with disheveled hair, using a man's hand.

The voice said, "Well, you are an adulterer and a whore. Not only did you kill me, but you also took away my property and my woman. Where are you going? Wait until I seek revenge on you."

As he said that, the woman with disheveled hair rushed over like someone here.

Exactly: when he practices medicine, he travels to thousands of homes, and strange things happen one after another.
