Chapter 175 Total Solar Eclipse

(Many thanks to ‘Wandering Years’, ‘Local Muge’ and ‘Lonely Hero’ for their generous support and monthly ticket support.)

Of course, for Wang Junlin, this is the most basic medical knowledge, but for the doctors of this era, especially Sun Simiao, a miracle doctor who is proficient in medical skills, it is a cross-era progress, or it is an opening.

A completely different world of medicine.

Therefore, when Sun Simiao saw it, he forgot to eat and sleep day and night. After Wang Junlin arranged for the maid to change tea and water in time, and provided the food on time, he ignored it.

Wang Junlin understood Sun Simiao's reaction very well. If he didn't have a research spirit that forgets both things and himself, how could he achieve such great achievements? This is a typical outstanding characteristic of researchers.

As far as Wang Junlin knew, it was more than 1,100 years before people had a simple understanding of bacteria, and it was more than 1,400 years before medicine entered an era with well-documented evidence.

In this current era, the most common method used by Western witch doctors to treat patients is bloodletting. Many Western ethnic groups have bloodletting when they have colds, fevers, or gastrointestinal problems...

Comparatively speaking, the medical skills of the Eastern Chinese people are better, but the medicine of the Sui Dynasty is also very good, whether it is the "Huangdi Neijing" or other medical works, such as "Zuo Zhuan" records medical and medical treatment in the first year of Zhaogong.

The medical theory of the Marquis of Jin when diagnosing diseases: "There are six qi in the sky, which give birth to five flavors, five colors, five sounds, and six diseases. The six qi are: yin, yang, wind, rain, darkness, and brightness. Yin is also

Excessive cold disease, yang exogenous heat disease, wind erogenous terminal disease, rain erogenous abdominal disease, dark erogenous disease and confusion disease, clear erogenous disease, and heart disease."

The only thing that allowed Wang Junlin to form a certain medical system theory was the "Pulse Classic" compiled by Wang Shuhe of the Western Jin Dynasty. It has ten volumes and ninety-seven chapters. This is also the first existing special book on pulse theory in the history of Chinese medicine.

A summary of the knowledge about pulse theory in Chinese medicine for more than three thousand years. The opening chapter of "Mai Jing" clearly states that "the pulse is subtle and its body is difficult to distinguish" and "it is easy to understand in the heart, but it is clear under the finger". "Mai Jing" is precisely aimed at these

It is difficult to compile and summarize.

In addition, Wang Junlin classified these as philosophical works rather than medical works.

Generally speaking, medicine in this era is actually an empirical study. A doctor accidentally cured a patient with a certain method one time. Then, when encountering such a disease again, he will continue to use the last treatment method, or treat another patient.

Naturally, everyone is happy when the medicine is cured. However, due to differences in symptoms or experiences, many times the disease cannot be cured, and the patient can only be considered unlucky...

Sun Simiao is obviously the most famous and outstanding empirical doctor in this era. According to Wang Junlin's estimation, this person should have learned almost all empirical methods so far, and has a large number of equally precious prescriptions in his hands.

Therefore, when Sun Simiao came into contact with this field that was slightly related to surgery for the first time, the latter was naturally shocked and curious. And when he encountered the book "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases" while reading

After being puzzled by Wang Junlin's explanation in a few words, and discovering that the pharmacology described by Wang Junlin was more reasonable and more enlightened than "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases", Sun Simiao looked at Wang Junlin as if he were looking at a monster.

Feeling that Sun Simiao's attitude toward him was quietly changing, Wang Junlin was very happy. He secretly planned to find an opportunity to shock the other person, directly subverting his madman's idea of ​​pursuing immortality and ending his love for ghosts and gods.

This thought made him devote himself to medical research.

Of course, in the end, this person will study medicine with Wang Junlin. For this reason, Wang Junlin also secretly worked hard and tried hard to recall all the medical knowledge he had mastered for later generations.





What was somewhat beyond Wang Junlin's expectation was that the case of Yang Su's assassination of Wang Junlin using a military weapon ended up being left unsolved.

The reason for this is that I don't know what kind of methods Yang Su used. Three of the six living survivors died before testifying, and the remaining three actually retracted their confessions on the spot in front of Manchu Wenwu and Yang Jian, and then committed suicide on the spot.

Such a result made Wang Junlin's wariness level against Yang Su rise again. Wang Junlin, Shen Guang and others speculated that there was someone from Yang Su in the Hou Guanfu, and his status was not low.

Of course, after this incident, Yang Jian's fear of Yang Su will definitely become deeper. Yang Guang needs Yang Su's support now, but when he becomes emperor in the future, he will definitely be as eager to deal with Yang Su as his father, and compared to Yang Jian, he will definitely

More decisive and ruthless.





Wang Junlin originally planned to not help each other, but to wait for the prince Yang Guang who was on the surface and the deposed prince Yang Yong to fight fiercely around possible rumors after the solar eclipse. He was waiting for an opportunity to take action to gain some benefits. But when Yang Lihua sent

The Nighthawk envoy told him that Wang Junlin's thoughts changed after he was assassinated by the Eight Ox Crossbow on the street a few days ago, most likely by someone belonging to the deposed prince Yang Yong.

Apparently, because Wang Junlin had a good relationship with Jin Wang Yang Zhao, Yang Yong thought that the former was probably from Yang Guang's family, so he wanted to kill two birds with one stone, killing him and putting the blame on Yang Su. Wang Junlin had some vague guesses before.

, but because of the complicated forces in the capital, we are not sure.

"Shen Guang, please personally deliver this letter to Yang Zhao." Wang Junlin wrote in the letter that he had calculated that there would be a total solar eclipse in the next few days, and speculated that there might be rumors that were unfavorable to Queen Dugu.

As long as he tells Yang Zhao this information, Yang Zhao will naturally tell Yang Guang. As for whether he will tell Yang Jian, it depends on Yang Zhao's state of mind, and Yang Guang will naturally remember his huge favor. As for Yang Guang

There is no need for him to get involved in how to deal with it.

Facts have proved that although Yang Zhao is fat, his mind is not weak at all, and he also knows that the emperor's grandfather Yang Jian does not fully agree with his father Yang Guang's becoming the prince, so he just told Yang Guang.

Yang Guang reacted quickly and fiercely. He secretly summoned Si Tianjian for questioning. The latter naturally looked confused. The only person in history who could predict the total solar eclipse in advance was the famous astronomer during the reign of Emperor Taizong Li Shiming of the Tang Dynasty.

, mathematician and Taoist Li Chunfeng. The little-known Si Tianjian of the Sui Dynasty who was waiting to die naturally did not have this talent.

In order to prevent Si Tianjian from leaking the total solar eclipse, Yang Guang acted extremely decisively and ruthlessly, and directly sent people to create an accident, which silenced Si Tianjian forever.

Then, Yang Guang personally came to Wufu Tea House to have a confidential talk with Wang Junlin. After receiving further confirmation from Wang Junlin, Yang Guang looked extremely gloomy and began to secretly make preparations in advance.

The burial was carried out on the second day. The day before, Yang Guang secretly sent people to damage several places in the mausoleum in order to postpone the burial date. This was to prevent the burial day from happening during a total solar eclipse. In that case, even if no one deliberately

Spreading rumors will also make people think of many bad things about Queen Dugu, which can be extended to the fact that Queen Dugu strongly advocated the abolition of the crown prince.

It is a pity that both Yang Jian and most of the important officials in the court still insisted on being buried on time for some other reasons. When Yang Guang was depressed, he could only hope that the total solar eclipse would not come, even if it did occur, it would not be possible.

Don't show up on the day of burial.

However, when it comes to things in this world, what we fear most will always happen.

Queen Dugu was buried and at the moment when the coffin was closed, people saw a dark shadow first appearing on the west side of the round face of the sun. The shadow gradually expanded, and the sun turned into a crescent shape. The dim light seemed to be coming at dusk.

"This... this is the Tengu Eclipse Sun." Outside the mountain mausoleum, when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the royal family followed Yang Jian to pay homage to Queen Dugu for the last time, a minister suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked up and their expressions changed greatly.

Yang Guang's face was so gloomy that he could shed water. At the same time, he was secretly lucky that he had known about it in advance and made some preparations, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Hurry up, it's the evil dog that turned into the mother of Mulian to eat the sun. Everyone hurry up and beat the gongs and drums and use the utensils around them to make noise, so that the dog will spit out the sun that day." Some ministers shouted in panic.

In fact, without waiting for the ministers to call out, the officers, soldiers, servants, and petty officials inside and outside the mountain mausoleum had already spontaneously made their voices heard in various ways, and bravely "battled" against the tengu transformed by the mother of the eyes.

Within and outside the capital, as long as the total solar eclipse covered the area, local officials and people reacted faster, holding various pots and pans, burning firecrackers, and shouting at the darkened sun.

When a total solar eclipse occurs, it has actually become a custom for the people to make various noises to drive away the Tengu, thus saving the sun. It is the same as drinking realgar wine and planting dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival.

But for the court and the royal family, if this kind of thing happens at some special times, it will be extended to national affairs.

The ministers of China's feudal dynasty seemed to have a talent for linking the visions of heaven and earth with the emperor, queen, and national events. The sun in the sky has not yet been completely darkened, and the total solar eclipse has not yet completely occurred. Ministers have already

The appearance of the total solar eclipse is connected with the burial of the Queen today, and it is definitely not a good thing. After all, it is not a good sign for the Tengu to eat the sun.

Not long after, the sky turned completely dark, as if the power of night had fallen, stars appeared in the sky, the temperature dropped rapidly, birds returned to their nests one after another, chickens and ducks hurriedly returned to their nests... It was like the end of the world, and some people experienced a total solar eclipse for the first time.

Inexplicable panic arose in the hearts of the people.

Nearly half of the civil and military officials at the scene were looking at the sky and at the giant coffin where Queen Dugu was half-buried. They gradually began to talk about it. Yang Jian's face was uncertain. But some officials were staring at Yang Guang, as if waiting to cooperate with the other party.

act.

After a few minutes, the western edge of the sun began to show a glimmer of light, as if morning was coming. At the same time, chickens croaked and birds began to make noises, until the sun gradually regained its brightness and the whole earth became a joyful world again.
