Chapter 39 The Body Is the Capital of Revolution

Princess Chai couldn't understand what kind of connection would be between treating her brother's illness and transporting eels from the beach to Fangzhou, which was incompatible with the wind and horses.

Looking at Princess Chai's confused look, Shi Wei's originally solemn expression became relaxed.

He said slowly: "This eel is also called white eel. It is cooked and eaten with wine, but it has the miraculous effect of killing insects, curing corpses, curing qi, strain, and nourishing the body. Therefore, this eel is the prescription for treating tuberculosis prescribed by the Xiaguan for King Zheng."

In fact, this prescription for treating tuberculosis has been recorded in traditional Chinese medicine books "Taiping Shenghui Prescription" and "Compendium of Materia Medica".

However, these two books were written in the middle of the Song Dynasty and the other in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, few people naturally heard of them.

Like an ordinary doctor, even if the patient is diagnosed with tuberculosis, he may not be able to think of a radical cure for eels.

Therefore, when everyone heard that King Chai had tuberculosis, they actually did not give much hope for whether it could be cured. Now when they heard that Shi Wei gave out a dose of a strange eel recipe, everyone was naturally surprised by the strangeness of Shi Wei's medical skills.

Princess Chai could not understand the medical theory that Shi Wei said, but she firmly believed that Shi Wei had excellent medical skills. Now that she had prescribed the prescription, she dared not hesitate. She immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to Bianjing to ask for help from the emperor.

This eel is a saltwater fish that must be caught by the sea. Fangzhou is located in the inland western part of the empire. In such an era when transportation is underdeveloped, the people and officials here have never eaten eels, not to mention that most people have never heard of it.

If an ordinary person suffers from tuberculosis, even if a doctor can prescribe this prescription, he may not be able to get the sea fish that can only be found thousands of miles away.

Chai Zongxun was much lucky, and it was precisely because of his extraordinary identity that he saved his life.

Only Zhao Kuangyin's order to use the state machine a little, let alone the eels in the sea, even the lobsters in Australia, would do their best to send them to the mountains from thousands of miles away.

Just when Princess Chai wrote a letter and was about to send her confidant to Bianjing, Shi Wei shook his eyes and led Princess Chai to a quiet place.

Seeing that he was speechless, Shi Wei whispered: "Princess, please remind the sender of the letter not to go on the east road we came when we came, but to go west to Hanzhong first, then to Chang'an north, and then to the east through Luoyang to Bianjing."

"Why? In this way, wouldn't it take a big circle and wasted a lot of time on the road in vain?" Princess Chai was unable to understand Shi Wei's intention for a while.

Shi Wei looked around and lowered his voice, almost whispered: "The King of Zheng is sick, I suspect that the Gan Magistrate in the previous period was interfering with it. If I took the original shortcut, I am afraid that the messenger would have an unexpected accident on the road. If this is the case, it would be the real delay of Zheng Wang."

"You mean the surname Gan..." Princess Chai Bing Xuehui was so concise that she immediately understood Shi Wei's hint and screamed without realizing it.

Shi Wei quickly raised his index finger to his mouth, signaling her not to speak out, and reminded her: "This is the boundary of Fangzhou. It is not advisable to alert the snake in advance. Everything will be returned to Bianjing and report it to the emperor before making a determination."

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress local snakes. Princess Chai will not understand this principle. After hearing Shi Wei's advice, she temporarily suppressed the suspicion and anger in her heart. She followed Shi Wei's advice and explained to her confidant servant.

The servant was very capable of doing things. Following Shi Wei's instructions, he disguised himself and spared a big circle. It took more than half a month to arrive in Bianjing.

During this period, Shi Wei fully demonstrated his medical skills, used acupuncture and prescribed medicine, and did his best to delay the worsening of Chai Zongxun's condition.

When Zhao Kuangyin, who was in Bianjing, received a letter of help from Princess Chai, he immediately issued an order to catch and transport the life-saving eel for Chai Zongxun.

However, Zhao Kuangyin was also smart and refused to use the manpower and material resources of the Song Dynasty. He handed over this decree to Lu Duosun, who was sent to the Southern Tang Dynasty again, and asked him to tell him to Li Yu to do it.

Last year, Lu Duoxun went to the Southern Tang Dynasty to persuade Li Yu to come to the court in Bianjing but failed. When Zi was furious today, he had the idea of ​​using troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After Wei and Fan Ruoshui offered a plan to go up the floating bridge, Zhao Kuangyin issued a secret order to the Song army in Jingxiang area and ordered the local navy to conduct a bridge building.

However, Zhao Kuangyin had a glimmer of hope for peaceful recovery of Jiangnan Shangbao, so in early spring, Lu Duosun was sent to the Southern Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, he persuaded Li Yu to surrender, and on the other hand, he also took the opportunity to investigate the Southern Tang Dynasty.

As soon as Lu Duoxun took out Zhao Kuangyin's order, Li Yu naturally did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly sent orders to the prefectures and counties along the coast of Southern Tang, urging local fishermen to go out to sea to catch eels, and then work hard to transport them to Fangzhou with thousands of mountains and rivers.

A month later, the Song Dynasty sent dozens of tanks of eels to the Zheng Wang Mansion without spending a person or a dollar.

Shi Wei then ordered to remove the dead eels, choose those that were still fresh, and use two kilograms of fish and two cups of wine, mix them with salt, and cook them into fish soup, and give them to King Zheng and the servants of the royal family who were infected with tuberculosis.

Although the cure medicine is no longer a problem, Chai Zongxun has been infected for a long time and cannot be cured in a day or two.

In the next two months, the Southern Tang kept sending eels to Fangzhou, while Shi Wei stayed in the Zheng Wang Mansion. Under his careful conditioning, Chai Zongxun's cough gradually stopped and he became energetic. Finally, he showed signs of a serious illness that would be cured.

Before we knew it, spring has gone and summer has come, and flowers have bloomed. Shi Wei has been staying in Fangzhou for more than two months.

Early that morning, Shi Wei woke up and took a short wash, then started exercising in the yard.

First, they jumped rope, then pulled up, and then sat ups. People passing by outside the yard, looking at the fresh scene, they couldn't help but talk privately.

Since Shi Wei treated King Zheng, in addition to maintaining daily hygiene and avoiding infectious bacteria, he has also consciously strengthened exercise to maintain a good body and enhance his immunity.

Therefore, shortly after he moved into the palace, he asked the people in the palace to invite craftsmen. Based on the pictures he drew, he made many sports facilities such as horizontal bars, double bearings, and dumbbells in the courtyard.

There was also a rope jumping era, but it was called jumping a rope, which is commonly known as jumping a rope, and it is generally only used as a game played by children during festivals.

Like Shi Wei, he jumped rope alone, and he also jumped with one foot, two feet, and two consecutive jumps. He has never seen it in the mansion before.

As for the "pull up" things, let alone. When they saw Shi Wei grabbing the bamboo slug, they couldn't help laughing. In private, they were amazed at the imperial physician with superb medical skills, but their hobbies were really special, so they prefer to "monkey tricks".

"Twenty...twenty...twenty-one...twenty-two..."

"Shi Fengyu, what are you doing?"

Shi Wei was pulling the pull-up body. As soon as his body was halfway through, a scream suddenly came from behind him. He was startled and his hands fell down with a relaxed force.

When he looked back, the man who looked at him with surprise was Princess Che.

In the past two months, Princess Chai has been focusing on taking care of her brother. It is rare to think of visiting Shi Wei today. I don’t expect that this first time I encountered Shi Wei doing that "weird" exercise.

Shi Wei pulled up the towel on his neck and wiped his sweat, saying, "The princess is doing pull-ups, why is he interested in coming to the princess here today?"

Princess Chai walked up and smiled and said, "Thank you for your careful treatment, Brother Wang's body is getting more and more energetic. Today, I suddenly remembered that I had not officially thanked Shi Fengyu, so I came here."

"This is a matter of the subordinate official, and it is really not worth mentioning. Why should the princess thank you?" Shi Wei looked humble.

Princess Che's attention could not help but turn to the horizontal bar and said curiously: "Shi Fengyu, what 'pull up' you said looks weird, but I don't know what it is for?"

Seeing that she was interested, Shi Wei said, "The princess doesn't know that the pull-up helps to exercise the muscles on her back and arms, and has the effect of strengthening the body."

Hearing his words, Princess Chai's expression became more and more strange.

She carried the bamboo slug, but said in confusion: "I only know that only martial artists will be willing to strengthen their bodies, in order to have the strength to go to battle and kill the enemy. As an imperial physician, you don't have to go to the battlefield or do hard work. You are using your own intelligence and talent, so why bother yourself like this?"

In ancient times, people were advised to be hard at the top and the lower class, and those who work hard at the bottom were hard at the same time. Those who work hard were hard at the same time were treated by people, so they did not care about physical exercise. It is inevitable that Princess Chai would have such doubts.

Shi Wei didn't think it was strange, so he explained patiently: "The princess said this is a bad thing. You need to know that the body is the foundation of human beings. It is strong and not easy to get sick, and it can prolong life. Only in this way can you have more energy and more time to use your wisdom to serve the country."

Princess Chai blinked a few times in her blank eyes, as if she could hear some tricks.

Shi Wei then said, "Take His Highness Zheng as an example. If he had spent a small part of his study time to exercise and develop a strong body, then he might not have suffered from tuberculosis at all, and he would not have had to go through so much pain."

After hearing what he said, Princess Chai seemed to have realized something.

She was silent for a while and nodded, "Shi Fengyu, what you said makes sense. From now on, I will also exercise well. Why don't you teach me these pull-ups?"

Seeing that an "ancient man" was convinced by his own ideas, Shi Wei was quite proud and agreed happily.

He first demonstrated how to do a few pull-ups, and then asked Princess Che to try it out by herself.

However, Princess Chai is already shorter than him, and her daughter is naturally weak in jumping. After jumping a few times, she can't catch the horizontal bar.

Shi Wei couldn't help but want to laugh.

Princess Chai was anxious and blushed and complained: "You are really, why are you holding this bamboo pole so high?"

Shi Wei curled his smile and bowed, "Princess, please forgive me for offending me."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Princess Chai's waist with both hands and lifted her body high with a little force.

When Princess Che reacted, the person was already in the air and her heart couldn't help but feel excited.
