Yandu.
Central North Sea.
"Dr. Liang, didn't you just give the Grand Secretary a follow-up examination yesterday? Why are you here again today?"
Hua Zhen stood in front of the door, looking at the old man in front of him with a slight surprise.
The old man smiled and said, "Your Excellency's condition is unstable and needs to be monitored closely. As long as Your Excellency is in good health, it's alright for me to come a couple more times!"
Hua Zhen nodded. "Please wait a moment while I go in and consult with the Grand Secretary!"
In fact, Liang Zhenhua had always been the Grand Secretary's attending physician. He was a prominent figure in the Imperial Medical Academy.
But in this sensitive period, Huazhen has to be careful.
After he finished speaking, he turned and went into the house.
At this moment, the Grand Secretary was processing official documents.
"Your Excellency, Physician Liang has arrived. He was here just two days ago. Also, those families just finished their meeting, and he suddenly came to visit. I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
The Grand Secretary smiled and said, "I'm an old man with bones like this, why would I be afraid of being harmed? Even if someone wants to harm me, can I hide from them forever?"
"Let him in!"
A moment later, Liang Zhenhua was invited in.
"Old Liang, didn't you just come by the day before yesterday? We even played a game together. What, are you itching to play again? Want to challenge me to a game?" the Grand Secretary said with a smile.
Liang Zhenhua smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are too kind. You are so busy with important matters, and playing chess is just an occasional pastime. How could I dare to take up your time? I just feel that the prescription I gave you last time was a bit inappropriate, and I would like to have another diagnosis so I can give you a different prescription!"
The Grand Secretary nodded and extended his hand, saying, "Then you can have it!"
Liang Zhenhua nodded, then sat down and took the Grand Secretary's pulse.
For a full five minutes, he kept his eyes closed.
But Hua Zhen, standing to the side, could clearly see that his hand seemed to be trembling, and his hand subconsciously gripped the Tang sword at his waist.
After a while, Liang Zhenhua finally withdrew his hand, then picked up paper and pen and wrote down a prescription.
The Grand Secretary took it and glanced at it, then glanced at Liang Zhenhua. "It seems to be no different from last time, except for one more medicinal ingredient!"
Liang Zhenhua smiled, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It is a little bit off, but that's how traditional Chinese medicine is. Sometimes, if one ingredient is missing, the effect may be greatly reduced!"
The Grand Secretary nodded in agreement, “Yes, Chinese medicine not only has very strict requirements on dosage, but also on the properties of the medicine. It is divided into Yin and Yang. If the Yin and Yang are not properly matched, it is very likely to cause serious damage to the five internal organs!”
“There was a young fellow who gave me a book before he went south. It was about the relationships between the interaction of Chinese medicinal herbs, and he told me to read it carefully. There was a section called ‘Eighteen Incompatibilities’ and ‘Nineteen Antagonisms’.”
"These two main points explain the incompatibilities in the use of traditional Chinese medicine. The 'Eighteen Incompatibilities' mainly lists three groups of incompatible drugs, while the 'Nineteen Antagonisms' mentions ten pairs of drugs that should not be used together!"
The Grand Secretary pointed to the name of a medicinal herb and said, “The prescription you wrote references the Da Huo Luo Dan formula and Ren Shen Zai Zao Wan, etc. They cannot be used with Chuan Bei Pi Pa Lu or Tong Xuan Li Fei Wan, otherwise they will cause certain damage to the five internal organs. Although the dosage is not large, healthy people will not have any major problems after taking it, but those with underlying diseases, such as an old fellow like me, may very well go to see Marx after taking two doses of the medicine!”
brush!
Cold sweat suddenly streamed down Liang Zhenhua's temples.
He stared wide-eyed, feeling incredulous.
Such profound medical principles of traditional Chinese medicine are not understood by most TCM graduates. I never expected that the Grand Secretary, an old man in his seventies or eighties who is busy with government affairs all day, would know so much about TCM.
Canglang!
Hua Zhen suddenly drew his Tang sword and instantly held it against Liang Zhenhua's neck.
"Liang Zhenhua, how dare you plot against the Grand Secretary!"
thump!
The chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy could no longer contain himself and knelt on the ground, motionless.
"Your Excellency, spare my life! I... I had no choice! They've taken control of my family. If I don't do what they say, they'll kill my entire Liang family! Waaah, I really have no other option!"
Liang Zhenhua knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
"Still trying to argue? Believe me, I'll bring you to justice right now!"
Hua Zhen was furious.
To plot against a Grand Secretary is an unforgivable crime.
Fortunately, before Marshal Lin went south, he had foreseen some things and left some medical principles for the Grand Secretary, and fortunately the Grand Secretary read them carefully.
Otherwise, if Liang Zhenhua's prescription is used, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Alright, Hua Zhen, Doctor Liang was forced into this situation, so don't scare him!"
At this moment, the Grand Secretary spoke up.
Even if someone wanted to harm him, his smile remained as kind and approachable as ever.
"But Elder..."
Before Hua Zhen could say anything more, the Grand Secretary waved his hand and said to Liang Zhenhua, "Brother Liang, get up, the ground is cold!"
"Your Excellency, you...you don't blame me?" Liang Zhenhua remained motionless.
Because he knew he had committed a capital offense that would result in the execution of his entire family.
The Grand Secretary shook his head. "What's wrong with protecting your family? The biggest mistake those people made was instilling in the people the idea that the country comes first, then the family! That's pure bullshit! Without these millions of small families, where would the big family come from?"
"I have done nothing to benefit the country. As long as there is even one person in the world who suffers, it is my dereliction of duty, Pang Wensheng!"
"Because I am the head of this whole family!"
"Your Excellency, you really don't blame me?" Liang Zhenhua's eyes were red. He really didn't know what to say.
