Chapter 34 The Sick Tiger Qin Shubao

Chapter 34 Sick Tiger Qin Shubao

Chang'an City.

Wannian County, Yongxingfang.

Zhuquemen Street East Third Street from North Third Street.

Here is close to the imperial city, where honorable relatives gather.

Princess Qin’s eldest son’s maiden family is also in this square.

North of the west gate of the square is the residence of Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yi State in the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. Cheng Yaojin came on horseback with Wu Huaiyu, and took Huaiyu in without waiting for the door to inform him. The servants of the Qin family were not surprised.

Strange, send someone quickly to report it.

"Uncle Bao,"

Cheng Yaojin went straight to the front hall. Qin Shubao was lying on the couch crookedly. When he saw him rushing in, he thought something big had happened, "Yizhen, what happened? The Turks broke into Guanzhong?"

As he spoke, he sat up and said, "Get my armor and prepare your horse. I'm going to fight against the Turkic barbarians."

Tangerine peel can also regulate qi, prevent stagnation of the replenished qi, and remove liver fire.

Huaiyu took his pulse, checked his tongue, tongue, etc., and asked about his physical condition, the medications he was taking, and his reactions.

"I often feel dizzy, lose my appetite, eat less and have loose stools, lack of energy, and even feel flustered and short of breath. I also have dry mouth and tongue, thirst and irritability..."

However, Qin Qiong, the cavalry chief of the Prince of Qin's palace who had always been Li Shimin's most trusted general, was responsible for staying behind during this critical battle. In addition to Qin Qiong's serious illness and weakness, it was also related to his hesitation in this matter.

It can be seen that Qin Qiong is very tall, probably taller than Cheng Yaojin, more than eight feet tall, but now she is so thin that she only has a thick frame and her clothes are hanging loosely on her body.

When the body recovers slightly, then replace it with a prescription that soothes the liver, nourishes blood and regulates qi, and slowly recuperates. The most important thing for Yi Guogong's body is to rest, especially his mind."

It's hard to compare the bravery of a good man to his former glory.

When Qin Qiong abandoned Wang Shichong and joined Li Tang in front of the battlefield, Li Yuan was very moved. He also tried to win over Qin Qiong, a brave general in the world, and rewarded him. He even said that you had come to me regardless of your wife and children, and had made great achievements. My flesh can be used by you.

If I give it to you as a gift to your ministers, how about your children’s treasures?

You can remove the Ligusticum chuanxiong and add a little tangerine peel to it. The tangerine peel is gentle and not so strong. Moreover, the tangerine peel can remove the greasy and stagnant nature of the rehmannia glutinosa. This way it is easier to digest when it enters the stomach and will not increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Yi Guogong used to often

Loose stools and abdominal distension are also caused by this medicine.

His wife and concubines did not understand how to use ginseng soup as a tonic and kept giving him ginseng soup, which made the situation worse.

During the Battle of Baibi, Hedong, Qin Qiong defeated Yuchi Gong and Song Jingang for Li Yuan, and regained the foundation of Hedong. Li Yuan not only gave Qin Qiong the national pillar, but also directly rewarded him with 100 kilograms of gold and 6,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors.

Huaiyu asked him to tell him the prescription he had taken recently. Qin Qiong told him that the prescription included ginseng, atractylodes, poria, licorice, angelica, rehmannia root, astragalus, tangerine peel and schisandra and more than a dozen medicinal ingredients. The imperial doctor said that this prescription was warming and tonic.

It has the function of regulating Qi and blood, regulating deficiency and nourishing the heart.

Whenever he went on a campaign with Li Shimin, if there were any generals in the enemy formation who dared to show off their strong soldiers and horses, or who dared to show off in front of the formation, Li Shimin would ask Qin Qiong to take action.

With this arrangement, not only did the Prince of Qin's Palace have only 800 guards available at the time, but also to ensure the secrecy of the operation. Li Shimin could not bring too many people to the Xuanwu Gate at that time, so he could only hide most of them in the Prince of Qin's Palace first, and wait until

After starting, rush over.

"Yi Guogong has a pale tongue with white coating, a weak and rapid pulse, dry mouth and tongue, and is irritable when he is thirsty. My nephew concluded that Yi Guogong's condition is due to many injuries from years of fighting, excessive bleeding, and now he is anemic.

The disease is caused by a deficiency of both Qi and blood. If what I expected is correct, the prescriptions used by Yi Guogong before were supposed to be prescriptions for nourishing blood and replenishing Qi. He may even have used prescriptions for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. I should take ginseng, deer bark, donkey-hide gelatin, etc.

, especially ginseng, should be taken all the time.”

Li Yuan even often invited Qin Qiong to the palace for banquets, and frequently rewarded Qin Qiong with gold vase, silver vase, slaves and miscellaneous gifts.

Huaiyu had heard about this famous name for a long time. God of Doors, he would put it on the door every year, especially the first male protagonist in the romance stories of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the loyal and courageous Qin Er Ge, the number one in Shandong.

The hero, riding on both sides of the Yellow River, beat the six prefectures of Shandong with his mace. That yellow gelding horse and that tile-covered gold mace were Huaiyu's number one idol when he was young.

Even the mansion in Yongxingfang, which covers an area of ​​dozens of acres, was gifted by Li Yuan. Many honorable ministers and princes, such as Cheng Yao, Jin, Fan Shixing, etc., all lived in Xicheng. However, Qin Qiong gave the mansion to the root of the imperial city.

And a hundred pounds of gold is worth tens of thousands of pounds.

He made great achievements when he first came to invest. Li Yuan directly gave him two large silver vases filled with jewels.

The clearing of blood stasis and blood was too strong, and the qi was broken. The qi was replenished too much, and the yin was deficient. Now both qi and blood are deficient, and the body is too weak. The more replenishing it is, the worse it will be.

Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, and Cheng Yaojin on the side also looked over.

Cheng Yaojin waited for him to look around and ask questions, then asked impatiently, "How was it?"

Qin Qiong is very polite.

Although the combination of the four herbs is a good prescription for nourishing blood, Ligusticum chuanxiong ascends and descends to the sea of ​​blood. Ligusticum chuanxiong has the properties of dispersing and dissipating, and has the characteristics of consuming qi. Doctors call it blood-stimulating. For people who are particularly weak, taking it can cause qi-breaking damage to the body.

.

"Yi Guogong, these two prescriptions do have the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis and warming and replenishing qi and blood. Yi Guogong's body did have blood stasis before, resulting in deficiency of both qi and blood. Use the first prescription to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis first.

, then nourish the blood, and then switch to a prescription to warm and nourish qi and blood, regulate deficiency and nourish the heart."

"Then Erlang hurry up and prescribe a good prescription!" Cheng Yaojin said quickly.

"Then Erlang can prescribe a medicinal diet and a prescription to soothe the liver, nourish blood and regulate qi." Cheng Yaojin asked with his hand in hand.

This statement means something.

"Your master is definitely a real Taoist master. Well, it seems that I am too arrogant. When I went hunting with His Majesty in Bailuyuan, Your Majesty gave me a village. I have never had time to go there. This time I went to live in Sanyuan.

Let's do it for a while, it just so happens that Erlang's family is also in Miyuan. Then we will be neighbors and you will be my companion."

At this time, Huaiyu faintly reminded Qin Qiong not to think wildly, and that was why.

Eating ginseng can cause gum swelling and pain, eating astragalus can cause nosebleeds, and eating deer bark can even cause hair loss.

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward to support him, "The Turkic wolf cubs were blocked outside Xiaoguan by Li Yaoshi, and now they are still plundering Longyou. Li Youliang has closed the city in Liangzhou and cannot leave. Chai Shao is unable to support his army alone, so he has to retreat."

In the Longguan area, His Highness is mobilizing troops and generals. Please rest at home and don't worry."

The complexion is sallow, the voice is low, and the patient is short of breath and weak.

The idea was right, and the two prescriptions sounded good, but why did Qin Qiong become even sicker?

"It is my honor to have the opportunity to listen to Duke Yi Guo's teachings."

Qin Qiong nodded, "It seems that Wu Erlang has indeed learned a lot of skills. What he said is accurate. My health has become worse and worse in the past two years, especially this year. I have become weaker and weaker. Your Majesty and the King of Qin often give me medicine, ginseng, deer bark, donkey hide gelatin

I was also given a lot of bezoar, musk, etc., and the prescriptions prescribed by several imperial doctors were exactly what Wu Erlang said, and my wives and concubines also kept making ginseng tea for me to drink."

"Although ginseng and cinnamon are said to nourish qi and nourish the spirit, it is not advisable to eat too much. Now, the main thing is to calm the liver and strengthen the stomach. Once the liver fire is calmed, it cannot suppress the earth. If the stomach qi is not diseased, use medicinal diet instead. The diet can also nourish people.

Qin Qiong heard that the call was not from Turks, so he sat back and leaned there, "How many doctors have looked at my body, and His Highness also gave me many precious medicines, but they are all useless. I know my disease myself, and I

During his life as a soldier, he went through more than 200 battles, large and small, and was seriously injured many times. He lost several bushels of blood before and after, so how could he not get sick?"

I used to have a 10-gauge belt, but now I am so thin that I look like a man.

Li Yuan was indeed very good to Qin Qiong. He only surrendered to Tang Dynasty in the second year of Wude and was directly appointed as the general manager of the Qin Palace. In the third year of Wude, he was granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom. In the fourth year of Wude, he was granted the title of Lord Yi.

In the fifth year of De's reign, Liu Heitai was given a lot of gold and silver.

Later, when I grew up, I realized that it was a romance story, but I also read in history books that Qin Qiong was also a brave cavalryman with thousands of troops and horses, who could seize the heads of enemy generals as if they were in a bag. He once defeated countless warriors with Zhang Xutuo, the most powerful general in the late Sui Dynasty.

A thief, who later joined Wagang, became a real hussar general and general of the Five Tigers. Later, he joined Li Tang and became the general manager of the cavalry army in the Qin Palace of Li Shimin, commanding the black armor cavalry.

To put it bluntly, it is a deficiency that cannot be replenished.

Qin Qiong patted him and said, "You and I hit it off as old friends and we are very destined, so don't be so polite. From now on, you can just call me uncle, and I will treat you as my nephew."

And Duke Yiguo's house also prepares extra ginseng soup every day, which is a good intention but a bad thing.

"First soak raw gardenia in water and drink it to clear the triple burner and balance the accumulated warm energy in the body."

"When my nephew was studying Taoism with his master in Mount Zhongnan, he once sent me sixteen words, "Accommodate things as they come, but not welcome the future. I was not mixed at the time. I am no longer in love with the past. Now I send it to Duke Yi. It is important to take good care of your health first."

.”

First nourish yin with medicinal food.

Qin Qiong used top-grade ginseng given by Emperor Li Yuan and King Qin Li Shimin. But the better the ginseng, the greater the backlash if used incorrectly.

Wu Huaiyu suggested giving your body some rest time first.

So when Li Shimin was about to launch a mutiny, Qin Qiong was a little hesitant. Although he eventually wore armor and followed the rebellion despite being sick, he took the initiative to guard the Qin Palace and protect Li Shimin's wife, children, and children on the grounds of his health, instead of following the rebellion.

His defeated general Yu Chigong also went to Xuanwumen, and even more so, he took Li Yuan into a dragon boat in the sea pond with a spear.

"Then what's the way to make up for it?"

Qin Qiong sighed even more when he mentioned this past incident. Back then, he and Cheng Yaojin planned to abandon Zheng and join the Tang Dynasty. They also arranged for someone to take his wife and children and leave quietly. In the end, Qin Qiong's wife and children were chased by Wang Shichong. So Li Yuan later said:

Qin Qiong said that you were very moved to come to me regardless of your wife and children.

But I never thought that what appeared in front of me now was a skinny, sick man.

Shu Bao responded to the order, leaped on his horse and charged forward with a spear. He was sure to stab the crowd, and the men and horses were able to defeat him!

How brave and majestic such a true general must be against ten thousand enemies. Cheng Yaojin has always been Qin Qiong's good partner. When he saw Lao Cheng's sumo-wrestling build before, Huaiyu thought Qin Qiong must be so tall and majestic.

.

"You need to clear out the triple burner first. You can't eat ginseng anymore. Stop for a while."

In the early Tang Dynasty, various colors were awarded to meritorious officials. Each ten-level unit included two pieces of silk cloth, two pieces of silk, two pieces of damask, and four pieces of mandarin. Ten pieces of miscellaneous colors far exceeded the money of ten pieces of silk. In the early Tang Dynasty, one piece of silk was worth three pieces.

For more than a hundred dollars, three horses are worth a lot, and six thousand pieces of miscellaneous colors are worth at least several thousand dollars.

Then I changed to the second prescription, and I must have understood the situation, but the second medicine mainly uses ginseng. Although this medicine has a neutral nature and flavor, it is warm. Taking the warm medicine for a long time will damage the yin. This is exactly

Dry mouth and tongue, thirst and irritability are the causes of symptoms.

The prescription I took before was made from rehmannia root, angelica root, peony root, Chuanxiong root, etc., which the imperial doctor said can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Duke Yi's body is too weak, which leads to yin deficiency and excessive fire. Yin should be nourished to reduce fire. Ginseng is a good thing to replenish qi, but excess qi is fire. The fire at this time is strong fire, which is a pathological fire. Zhuang is a pathological fire.

Fire-eating Qi will make people excited and irritated, and the body's vitality will be consumed more. If you take ginseng, it will add fuel to the fire and deplete the Yin Qi even more."

On that day, Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father. Yuchi Gong not only shot Yuan Ji with an arrow, but also took Li Yuan from his palace to a dragon boat in Haichi with a bloody horse, and forced him to issue an edict to hand over power to Li Shimin.

.

"It's the medicine that's three-part poison. The weaker your body is, the less you can take too many medicines. Now Duke Yi's body can't withstand the attack of all kinds of medicine, and his body is too weak."

Although Cheng Yaojin did not understand these pharmacological things, he felt that what he said was very reasonable. Even Qin Qiong, who had been ill for a long time, found it very reasonable. He had been ill for a long time and understood his own situation very well.

I don’t know how to treat it, but I can tell that what he said is right for his symptoms.

That day, after Qin Qiong returned home, he fell ill and never got up again. He didn't know how to face Li Shimin or even Li Yuan.

During the Xuanwumen Incident a few days ago, Qin Qiong was still ill, but he also went into battle. However, at that time, he was mainly responsible for sitting in the Qin Palace with Cheng Yaojin. After the Xuanwumen launched their attack first, Qin Qiong asked Cheng Yaojin to

Jin Zai led some troops to attack Xue Wanche and other palace soldiers from the outside.

Later, depending on the situation, you can consider adding Schisandra chinensis to nourish the mind and calm the mind."

In addition to these two medicines, I still drink ginseng tea every day to maintain my health.

Huaiyu looked at Qin Qiong, "It would be best for Duke Yi to leave Chang'an and go to a quiet rural place to retreat and recuperate. Don't think too much. Too many things on your mind will consume your energy and blood."

, If you think wildly and are restless all day long, it will be equivalent to making up for the leaks here and there. More will be missed, and very little will be made up for."

"This is Ying Guogong's nephew. He has been practicing Taoism with masters in the Zhongnan Mountains. He is proficient in medical skills and can also make elixirs. I specially brought him here to show you."

Cheng Yaojin said from the side, "You may not know that Shu Bao has a son also named Huaiyu. That year we saw that Wang Shichong abandoned Zheng to join the Tang Dynasty. Wang Shichong was angry and captured Shu Bao's wife and children who stayed in Luoyang.

, it’s a pity that they were brutally killed like that, if they were still here, he should be about the same age as you by now.”

"Things come and go, the future is not welcomed, the present is not mixed, and the past is not loved." Qin Qiong murmured these four sentences and sighed for a long time.

What he said is that if Qin Qiong was sick and needed Li Yuan's meat to recover, he would immediately cut the meat for Qin Qiong to eat, not to mention gold, silver, money and silk. From now on, I will hang out with Li Yuan and we will eat well and drink spicy food together. We will be blessed.

Share.

The two prescriptions were originally correct, but they were not adjusted in time when responding to the symptoms.

The first prescription was used to relieve blood stasis and replenish blood, but it damaged Qi. The second prescription was to warm and nourish Qi, but taking it for a long time damaged Yin.

"You can eat lily and longan porridge, or you can mash raw lily, asparagus, jujube, and white tuckahoe into a puree, add milk and honey, pour it into the hole of the lotus root, steam it in a pot and eat it, or bird's nest porridge."

Although many days had passed, Qin Qiong was still in deep pain. He felt sorry for Emperor Li Yuan, and blamed himself for not living up to Li Shimin's expectations. His health was already in bad shape, and such random thoughts made his health worse.

"The problem with the first prescription is that it has been taken for a long time to weaken the qi and not properly nursed back to health. As a result, the blood is replenished but stagnated, and the blood is harmed and damaged. This leads to a deficiency of both qi and blood, but the condition is aggravated. Although Yi Guogong is still young,

However, I did suffer too many injuries and lost too much blood during the previous battles. In addition, I had symptoms of anemia, so the usage of this prescription was somewhat inappropriate.

"Greetings to Duke Yi Guo, my nephew Wu Huaiyu is a friend of Chu Mo. He once practiced Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain for nine years and also learned a little bit about medicine. If Duke Yi Guo doesn't mind, can I let my nephew take my pulse and ask for a diagnosis?

"

“As for soothing the liver, nourishing blood, and regulating qi, for the first four ingredients of the prescription, only Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica sinensis and Peony are used together, and Chuanxiong root is not used.

Although Li Yuan later specially selected a daughter from a well-known family for Qin Qiong to marry him again, and gave birth to another son, Qin Huaidao, who was also two years old, the death of Yuan's wife's eldest son and other relatives still made him depressed and aggravated his condition.

.

"Uncle Bao, this boy is quite good. Let him accompany you more in the future. If you get along well, let him be your godson." Lao Cheng laughed loudly.

Qin Qiong nodded, "Yeah, okay."

Huaiyu was stunned for a moment. Before, he was the lost second son of the warrior Ke. Now Cheng Yaojin wants him to recognize Qin Qiong as his godfather. Qin Qiong is actually willing?

Isn't this a bit too casual?

When Qin Cheng and Qin Cheng saw that he didn't follow the stick with the snake, they knelt down and called him godfather. They were a little surprised, but they were not dissatisfied. Instead, they seemed to appreciate Huaiyu even more.
