In the spring of the sixth year of Guangxu (1880), China and Russia regained Yili, Xinjiang through negotiations. The relationship between the two sides is tense and the situation is critical. However, Empress Dowager Cixi was ill and ignored the political affairs, and doctors continued to treat her, and her condition never improved.
The earliest record of Empress Dowager Cixi's illness was Wang Wenshao, Minister of Military Affairs. In his diary on February 2 (1March 2), he said:
Empress Dowager Cixi bowed in silence, and Empress Ci 'an was present when she was summoned. I looked at the prescription in a hurry and told me the symptoms. Thinking about covering the edge hurts the spleen, and both sleep and diet are damaged, which makes it more and more untenable.
In Weng Tonghe's later diary, Cixi also appeared? Insomnia at night, less diet, sallow complexion and dry mouth? ; ? If you walk too much, you will be afraid and feel empty. ,? Respiratory depression, shoulder pain, poor diet, chronic deficiency of both heart and spleen? ; ? Talking too much will make you tired, eating too much will make you dull, and walking too much will make you astringent? ; ? Blood phlegm? ,? Loose stool is weak? Wait for the content. On the eighth day of February, Weng Tonghe wrote in his diary:
Since the second day of junior high school, I have been called to work, all in the royal curtain of the Empress Dowager Ci 'an, which has been established for more than ten years.
The busybodies among the court ministers began to plan to invite outside folk doctors to treat Cixi. At that time, Zuo Shu's son Zhang Zhidong first put forward in a secret letter to the military affairs minister Li Hongzao:
Xi's illness has not recovered, so he can't rely on medication. Can you call some good doctors to Beijing to prepare for the consultation? He will arrive in ten days, and now it is even more difficult to take Shangyi as the strength. Etiquette is close, and this move seems to be often taken care of.
Fei and Ma Peizhi, both from Changzhou, are quite famous in Jiangnan, and Weng Shuping knows them all.
Cheng Chunzao, an Anhui native, is now a well-known doctor in Hubei Alternate Road and Hubei Salt Road. Last winter, Li Furen was seriously ill and recovered after taking medicine. Besides, the effect is much better. Gu listed several people. Besides, if there are celebrities, it doesn't hurt to call a few more. During the Qianlong period, Xu Ling's fetus went to Beijing twice to diagnose the disease of palace, and Hui Xi's medical record was very detailed. So is this story.
During the Qing dynasty, foreign dynasties rarely intervened in palace affairs. Although Empress Dowager Cixi's illness and medical records were released to upper-level officials in a small scope, no one could tell the truth. Zhang Zhidong dares to talk to Li Hongzao. It was his pure and fearless temper and whimsical plan that expressed his bold loyalty to the imperial court and his concern for the health of Empress Dowager Cixi. It is not clear how this matter works in the high-level of Qingliu and officialdom, but in the end, it is another Qingliu Baoting. Who? Would you please call the Chinese and foreign ministers to visit famous doctors and ask them to accompany them too much? . Many people are worried about Bao Ting's suggestion. Baoting said,? State affairs are out of your control. ? Play, with the consent of the queen mother herself. Rethink the imperial edict:
The minister of military affairs issued an imperial edict:
Shuntianfu University Zhili Governor First Class Su Yibo Li Liangjiang Governor Liu Huguang Governor Li Si Liangjiang Governor Jiangsu Governor Wu Anhui Governor Yu Jiangxi Governor Li Zhejiang Governor Tan Shandong Governor Zhou Shanxi Governor First Class Wei Yibo Zeng Hunan Governor Tu Hubei Governor Peng Hunan Governor Li Chuanyu Nursing Jiangsu Governor Chief Secretary Tan:
Guangxu six years (13 July) on June 7th, imperial edict. Now, Empress Dowager Cixi has paid tribute to Kang Yi and Zhao Yu Zhuang Cheng, and the sacred bow of Empress Yu Zhuang Cheng is not safe. It has been more than a few months, and Imperial Hospital has been treated repeatedly, but it has been unsafe. I'm sure there are many mainlanders who pay attention to the meticulous pulse diagnosis of Qi and Huang, and have extended their visit in detail with the prefect. If they have any real understanding of their medical reliability, they will be sent to Beijing with officials, gentlemen and the people, and the officials of the same hospital will be led by the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have a detailed look and explain their instructions. People from Jiangsu and other provinces came to Beijing by boat for speed. Tell Shun Tianfu about it, and let Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi, Li, Wu, Tan, Zhou Hengqi, Tu Zongying, Peng Zuxian and Li tell Tan Peijun. I admire this! Send the letter as required.
From the imperial edict, we can clearly see the trace of Zhang Zhidong's secret letter, which proves that Li Hongzao communicated with the military minister according to this suggestion, and also reflects that Empress Dowager Cixi is tired of the treatment of excessive medication and is willing to listen to the opinions of private doctors. Therefore, Xue, an alternate road in Shandong, was recommended by Li Hongzhang, governor of Zhili; Wang Shouzheng, the county magistrate of Yangqu County, Shanxi Province, recommended by Ceng Guoquan, governor of Shanxi Province; Ma, a local employee of menghe town, Wujin County, Jiangsu Province; Jiangxi Provincial Governor Zhao Tian; Yin Xuebaotian, Governor of Zhejiang Province; Zhong Xueyou, a teacher from Chun 'an County, Zhejiang Province; And Li, governor of Hunan province. In addition, Pan Ti, the former governor of Hubei registered by Ding You, was also recommended to be released on parole for medical treatment, but he refused to get sick after arriving in Beijing.
Xue Qing Daoguang was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province in the 12th year (1832). He was the eldest brother of Xue Fucheng, a diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty. I was very smart when I was a child, and I could try to write articles at the age of seven. I am older and have a good knowledge of history. Daoguang was a scholar in 30 years, and Xianfeng won the second place in Shuntian Township Examination (1855) in five years. Later, he served as Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Industry in Beijing. In the eighth year of Xianfeng, due to the death of his father, the coffin was returned to Li. In the tenth year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army conquered Wuxi, and he went to work for the shogunate of Li Hongzhang. Later, he was appointed as an alternate magistrate and went to Shandong to fill the vacancy. When the Yellow River gap flooded, Shandong Governor Ding Baozhen knew that he was good at water conservancy and asked him for help. He is stationed in Hou Jialin, managing the overall situation and organizing migrant workers. After 45 days of emergency rescue day and night, he blocked the gaps everywhere and saved one million yuan. Because of his meritorious service in river management, he was transferred as an alternate Taoist priest to fill Taiwulin Road in Jidong, Shandong Province. Xue taught himself medical books for five or six years and was proficient in all kinds of medical books.
Wang Shouzheng, born in Qiantang (now Hangzhou), Zhejiang Province, was born in Daoguang for nine years (1829). Ancestral home in Anhui, with a county donation order from gongsheng, which means it is used in Henan. Ten years of Tongzhi granted Shanxi Yuxiang County Order, and twelve years transferred Pingyao. In Guangxu 34, there was a drought in North China, and it traveled thousands of miles. Wang Shouzheng is famous for his disaster relief and is appreciated by Ceng Guoquan. Where there is a great disaster in Shanxi Province, everything we do for disaster relief depends on it, right? That? Shanxi people, scholars, farmers and businessmen are all ignorant? . In the fifth year of Guangxu, Yangqu County was transferred.
Ma, whose name is Pei Zhi, was born in Wujin, Jiangsu Province in the 25th year of Jiaqing (1820). His grandfather, Ma Shengsan, whose real name was Jiang, studied medicine, so he took his surname with his teacher and was famous for his medical skills at that time. Ma Wenzhi attacked all the students when he was young. He studied family medicine. He studied medicine with his grandfather 16 years, and then learned from the academic experience of Wang Jiufeng and Fei, becoming a generation of doctors with the deepest attainments, the best operating skills and the greatest influence in the Ma family. The world calls it? Good surgery, famous internal medicine? . In Zhang Zhidong's secret letter to Li Hongzao, he was recommended to write? Ma peizhi? .
Xiang, the word Deyu, was born in Yuan Xian, Taiping County, Anhui Province. He has worked as a county magistrate, secretary, inspector, prison officer and a skilled doctor in Gao 'an and Anren counties of Jiangxi Province.
Xue Baotian, a native of Dingyan Town, Rugao, Jiangsu Province, was born in the 20th year of Jiaqing (18 15). His great-grandfather Xue Meiyuan was a famous doctor in the early Qing Dynasty. During the Qianlong period, he went to Yizhou in his 80 s and cured the illness of Emperor Qianlong. Father Xue Yincha is also a national player. Born in such a Huang Qi family, was Xue Baotian born? Being able to live in the world written by Huang Qi has its own mystery. . During the reign of Daoguang, was he Ming Jing? Ren shangyuan county? At the age of forty-six, he was appointed as Yun Yin (a small official in saltworks) and assigned to Zhejiang as a backup. During his stay in Zhejiang, because the elites all knew his excellent medical skills, they all asked him to treat the disease, so his reputation was greatly improved and he was asked to treat the disease. Heel to heel? . As a result, it became famous in Hangzhou, and the big house was valued by Yin Liao.
Zhong Xuefu, whose real name is Chang Ting, is from Zhongjia Village, Changming Township, Qiantang, Zhejiang. When I was a teenager, I studied Confucian classics and minored in medicine. In the first year of Guangxu (1875), he was awarded the secretariat of Ningbo. Zhong Xuefu treats people's diseases in his spare time and has many curative effects, so his medicine is quite famous. He read widely all his life and was good at learning two Song Dynasties. Doctors with excellent medical skills, in particular, make good use of ancient prescriptions and use less harsh drugs, which often cure the disease.
Lian, the word, was born in Qiantang, Zhejiang, and was a famous doctor, Lian Baoshan. With excellent tributes, it is more beneficial to the government that officials go to Hunan magistrate and officials go to Wugang. Get a family heirloom and be good at medical treatment.
Cheng Chunzao, formerly known as Li Fen, was born in Yandao, Hubei. As early as June of the first year of Guangxu, Li Hongzhang's mother was infected with summer disease. Quite dramatic? , which is by Cheng Chunzao? Wonderful rejuvenation? . At the end of the year, Li Hongzhang mentioned this matter in a letter to Ding Richang, the governor of Fujian? Has Jia Ci taken Cheng's tonic, which is effective and has been cured? . In another letter, also called mom? I recently took Cheng's pill prescription, but I didn't do anything about expectoration. According to Li Fen's letter, I am really glad that my roots have been cut off. . In the spring of two years, I recommended it to Shen Baozhen, Governor of Liangjiang. If you have a cough, you should consult an alternate doctor in Hubei, and you will recover completely? . Soon, Shen Baozhen wrote back to Li Hongzhang, informing him? When Li Fen came here, she asked for a consultation, saying that the disease could not be cured. What a good doctor? . Later, Shen Baozhen mentioned it several times in his letters to friends. Cheng is a native of Zhejiang, very talented and dangerous. ? Li Fen is very talented in observing a bloody person. His brother never looked at him, but he accepted it twice, and his heart was extremely moved. ? Obviously, he is also a famous healer in officialdom.
From the above list, we can also see that most of the doctors who were recognized for their superb medical skills were actually knowledgeable officials, not professional practitioners. China's traditional medicine is a philosophy of the highest level, which is connected with the literati who are officials.
* * * The doctor Xue came to Beijing for the first time and felt his pulse on June 24th. Wang Shouzheng was the second to arrive. Please feel the pulse on June 30th. They formed a team with Li Deli, Zhuang Shouhe and Li Dechang, and collectively treated Empress Dowager Cixi every day. Xiang is the third to arrive in Beijing. Later, Ma arrived in Beijing on July 20, and went to the palace for diagnosis for the first time on July 25, a whole month later than Xue. The rest of the doctors arrived in August to join the expert group.
There are many doctors and different opinions. Empress Dowager Cixi separated doctors, only announced three or four doctors to go to work for collective consultation every day, and changed their numbers the next day. Xue Baotian later recorded: the Ministry of the Interior, Shi Zengzeng? When the imperial edict was delivered, doctors from all provinces arrived, and there were many people, so they listened in different classes, which was not slightly different because of the advantages and disadvantages of medical methods. When the preacher enters the palace, don't the preacher wait in the inner palace? . As a result, doctors have different opinions every day. Open three parties a day:? A Xue, Wang, is still warming up; A horse, sweet; A cure too much, bitter cold. ? Empress Dowager Cixi has blood foam in her throat from time to time. She asked why, but the doctors had different opinions. Empress Dowager Cixi asked them to write their opinions in writing. On this day, Weng Tonghe said in his diary: Send out the theories of three doctors, Li Deli, Xue, Wang Shouzheng and Ma, and give them to the king. Li and others have been talking about this sticky throat syndrome for several years, and it is difficult to get rid of it at the moment. It seems that spicy heat is not suitable. Xue and Wang Shouzheng said that the lungs are full of qi, but sometimes they are caused by dirty qi (neither is cubic). Ma mainly chose a branch argument that drugs do not need bitter cold and sweet cold, but they also failed to make it clear. ? The wife asked Weng Tonghe what he thought, but Weng Tonghe was not familiar with the medicinal properties.
At this time, the court was influenced by Chonghou's signing of the Sino-Russian Ili Treaty. Clean stream? Severely criticized Li Hongzao and Zhang Zhidong. A pile of manpower is mainly to kill Chonghou and cancel the contract. Russia threatened to send warships to China if China killed its envoys and abrogated the treaty. Left main battle, Li Hongzhang, who handled westernization, was cynical? Zuo Shuai fought in the main battle, advocating a group of scholars and corrupt officials, boasting nonsense and disregarding national security. It's its west road dispatching, but, er, what's the certainty? ? Lan Shu (Li Hongzao) did not understand westernization. The leader was clean, and he took advantage of the situation to attack the city. With one move, the DPRK became a fire and water. ? Or say? Talk about soldiers with people you don't know. No wonder right and wrong are reversed? ,? People who hold national plans do not put in such efforts on weekdays, but talk about war in vain. Isn't national affairs a joke? ?
Advocating diplomatic means to break it. The discussions between North Korea and China were inconclusive.
Zhang Peilun compared this argument with the treatment of Empress Dowager Cixi. He privately commented:
Now the DPRK is very frightened, but it is regrettable that the main battle and the main battle are still inconclusive. Li Xiang (Hong Zhang) has no news. What about Haiphong? The group of doctors gathered under the pavilion and had different opinions. Recommended by Xue Zhili and Wang Shanxi, warm tonic, cooling agent for cure too much, and nourishing by horse doctor in Jiangnan. These people were treated like sages governing the country at that time.
How can we treat diseases with such arguments and such respective statements?
Zhang Peilun and Li Hongzhang once argued about which doctor's medical skills were better and more reliable.
Guangxu seven years (188 1 May 4th) on April 7th, Zhang Peilun wrote to Li Hongzhang:
Has Changchun Palace (Empress Dowager Cixi) seen much Eucharist recently? I don't know if I changed my diet by steaming bones. Li Fen (Cheng Chunzao) said that the disease should not be cooled down, but should be treated with drugs.
Li hongzhang replied that day:
Changchun takes reducing fever as the essence, adding sweetness and cooling is still self-sufficient for the time being. The fever can be returned or not. I have informed the doctor and tried my best. Li Fen said that it is not appropriate to look at the mud. Wang Ling (Shouzheng) is even more unconscious.
On the eighth day, Zhang Peilun replied to Li Hongzhang:
Yesterday, Dr. Chen Zhi advised him to be cautious. Xue () and Wang (Shouzheng) have the same differences, but there is nothing to show. A long-term fever can't be put down, but a quick rest is not perfect. In this case, it's hard to be caught off guard. Not a good doctor, but a good doctor. There seems to be no need to mention Xue's words to emphasize. Rong rewelding is crazy and straight, so he dares to argue.
Li hongzhang reply again:
After a long period of hot compress, the dosage of Rehmannia glutinosa and Lycium barbarum bark gradually decreased, but Wang Ling banned it by speculation, which was really ignorant of medicine. I don't know why the outside world believes this. Fu Ping (Xue) doesn't want to take out what he has learned to gain public opinion, but just learn from others. Respect imperfection, what is perfection? People who are not familiar with this matter may not say it for nothing.
Li Hongzhang has his own vision and information sources among doctors. Zheng, a writer of literature and history, recorded that he had read Xue's letter to Shen Nenghu, director of China Merchants Shipping Association, in early August of Guangxu six years. The letter mentioned:
The horse has been accompanying and taking the pulse several times. There is no need for further consultation at present, but the title must be listed on the prescription head. Xue Baotian and Zhong Xuefu, recommended by Zhejiang Province, just arrived today, and the sacred bow has been nine tenths of an hour. I want to give it a prescription. However, Yuan recommended Wang Ling, which is a very useful helper for my brother. Others, such as Shi Lian (Zi Hua) recommended by Xiang and Cheng Chunzao recommended by Xian Shuai, will arrive in a few days. In a word, this time, I tried my best to avoid the big crime, but I actually offended the doctor so much that I offended all the famous doctors in the world.
According to Xue, at the beginning of Xue Baotian, Zhong, Lian and Cheng Chunzao's coming to Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi had appointed him and Wang Shouzheng as attending doctors by default, and the others were only nominal titles and prescription titles. I can't comment on whether this statement is correct, because Zheng relayed the handwritten letter he saw from his friend Peng Changqing. Judging from the daily medical prescriptions handed down by Cixi, doctors are allowed to express their opinions instead of signing their names on the consistent prescriptions. According to Weng Tonghe's observation, Empress Dowager Cixi did not actually take the doctor's prescription. I stopped taking the medicine after smelling it for a long time, and I didn't test it because it smelled warm? Later generations did not know the complicated operation behind these prescriptions, but their different views added many fresh suggestions to Empress Dowager Cixi. It is wise for this shrewd woman to listen to both. After observation, Cixi issued a decree on September 30th (165438+1October 2nd):
All the doctors returned to their original provinces, leaving Ma, Xue and Wang Shouzheng to feel their pulse as usual. Later, I was divided into two classes, one in Thai hospital and the other in Ma, Xue and Wang Shouzheng. I was admitted to the hospital for two days and got off work for one day. Qin Zun!
These three doctors, especially Xue and Wang Shouzheng, finally cured Cixi. It can be seen that Xue's statement has certain basis.
At the end of Guangxu six years, Li Hongzhang also mentioned Cheng Chunzao and Xue in his letter to Liu Ruifen:
Li Fen entered the capital this time, and she returned ahead of schedule because of the disagreement with the hospital doctors. Xue Fuping has been observing for several months, and the matter of taking medicine has been taken care of in many ways. However, Xi Sheng has been too worried and tired, but he has just recovered, but he dare not celebrate his recovery. When he heard that he had to pass the winter solstice and vernal equinox, he was taken away correctly, and the hearts of his servants could be relieved.
There has always been a saying in China that in ancient times, doctors could not look, smell, ask and feel directly because of the orderly court, so they could only fix one end of silk thread on the patient's pulse, and doctors diagnosed and treated the disease through the pulse condition at the other end of silk thread, commonly known as? Pulse diagnosis hanging silk? . I have an abstract published in Xinmin Evening News more than ten years ago, "Is it true to miss the pulse?" The author said that Shi Jinmo, one of the four famous doctors in Beijing in the old days, was interviewed and said that Shi saw a doctor quickly in the Qing dynasty royal family, and Shi said it was true. I never believed this statement. You can ask the eunuch to take a message about the consultation. Seeing, smelling and cutting all need the doctor's personal feeling. If the patient's pulse can be transmitted through a silk thread as a USB data connection line, then the ancient information transmission technology in China is really unique. If anyone dares to say that he has this secret skill today, everyone must say that he is a liar. As a result, the author of the newspaper can only excuse the ancients or the dead, and no one can verify it anyway. But Shi Jinmo's resume can still be found. Born in 188 1, 1906, graduated from Shanxi Law School, followed Huang Xing and participated in the Revolution of 1911. It is said that Shi Jinmo studied medicine with his uncle Mr. Li Keting in Anyang, Henan Province at the age of thirteen, and became famous only in the Republic of China. After he became famous, he may have seen a doctor for Xun Qing's descendants, but what about with him? Four famous doctors? In fact, this is not enough to verify the suspensory vein of the uterus. Therefore, it can only be a rumor or a mystery.
When you see the Queen Mother, you can completely see yourself and feel the patient's pulse. Doctor Ma described his first visit to Cixi and left a clear record:
Empress Dowager Cixi sat facing east, with a small chair in front and a yellow gauze curtain hanging down. Kneel, kneel and kowtow. Ask people where and how old they are. ? Wen Zhi was ordered to enter the consulting room with his knees up to the front, two small pillows in front and eunuchs standing on both sides. Open the curtain and ask for the pulse, and the left and right are like the law. ? Xiang Yun:? Two-inch pulse is weak and thin, the left side is heavy, the right side is slightly slippery, the feet are thin, the edge is stagnant and overworked, the heart and spleen are deficient, the liver qi is also abundant, the spleen meridian is wet and phlegm, and the pulse is not harmonious. When I see the valley, I feel dizzy, my brain swells, my back is sore, my limbs are weak, and my chest feels uncomfortable. My humble opinion, whether it is appropriate, beg for instructions. ? After the queen mother finished the detailed instructions, she continued to give orders and made a detailed report. When I left, I was still standing on the steps. Xue and ieee fellow came in and told them to feel their pulse and go with the East Chapel. With the intention of going into battle in person, I told the story first and determined the medicine. The draft was presented to the home secretary for the doctor to see, and the doctor was ordered to present it to the queen mother with a yellow sign. In the book Materia Medica from the New, Tai Hospital marked the drugs used with yellow paper strips, which were handed in by General Manager Li. A moment later, eunuch Li issued an imperial edict. Ma's prescription is very good. Who should I take to discuss with the minister? ? Minister's speech:? I'm not sure about the unknown medicine. I respectfully ask the holy one. ? After a while, the prison will order: Today, I still use Taiyuan's prescription, and tomorrow I will discuss it with Ma. ?
Compared with horses, Xue Baotian's description in his diary is also consistent:
The queen mother ordered Yu to feel her pulse first. I got up and walked to the front of the sofa. There is a yellow bedspread on the couch, and the Queen Mother sits on the couch with some small pillows outside. Empress Dowager Cixi put her hand on the pillow and stopped with Supamon, but three parts of her pulse were revealed. I knelt down with bated breath, eunuchs standing on both sides. Please go right first, then left. About two quarters, play:? Pulse rate of bow, number of left inches, left closed string; The right inch is flat, the right is weak, and the feet are not strong. Because depression hurts the liver, thinking hurts the spleen, and five emotions turn into fire, which can't nourish chong Ren, resulting in chest tightness, less sleep, less food, short spirit, and occasionally blood in phlegm, changing clothes or phlegm or knot. ?
Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Ci 'an and other family members in the palace need not feel the pulse.
However, a companion is like a tiger.
All doctors feel honored and extremely afraid to see Empress Dowager Cixi. All they want is for the empress dowager to recover as soon as possible, so that they can go home freely. Insider information is confidential and it is difficult for outsiders to know.
Xue revealed a detail in his letter to Shen Nenghu:
Xi Sheng stopped sleeping on 24th, saying that he was getting better. By July 26th, his sleeping food had actually recovered. Doctor Li Deli thinks that in this position, although the canal is not sensitive, it can always report peace with a ticket. By the early morning of the 27th, due to many efforts, one of them joined the Party and was tried by the Holy Family. Who knows that I can't sleep all night, seeing the liver wind moving, and I am afraid of the earthquake. As a last resort, I respected the precepts and wrote a prescription for repairing the soil. When I took it, my new illness was relieved and I recovered from sleep and food. After this comparison, the saints know whether it is high or low. Li was sentenced to Li Hutong by the Ministry of Punishment and received by the Minister of the Interior four times. He said that Li's medical skill is ridiculous, and his competitive spirit is no different from Xue's, so he begged for temporary forgiveness, which is true. From then on, prescriptions will be less restrictive. From 28th to 6th, it will be nine days after recuperation. In fact, the Holy One has a big appetite, and he is still dealing with urgent matters, so he is not sleepy. From then on, there will be no obstacles, as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival and as late as the Cold Dew Festival.
The medical affairs went back and forth, but Bo Xiang knew the details and told him not to tell anyone.
This Li Deli, the judge (acting vice president) of the right hospital of Taiji Hospital, is also a physician of Taiji Hospital for many years. He participated in the treatment of smallpox in the last emperor of Tongzhi. It is obvious that Empress Dowager Cixi doesn't agree with Li Deli, but he still wants to show his technical strength, and sometimes even puts all his eggs in one basket. This time, medical treatment hit a big nail. What's even more amazing is that in the process of treating Empress Dowager Cixi, Li Deli himself died suddenly and changed the child into a doctor too much. Ridley's death was also silent.
There is an interesting detail in the treatment that has to be mentioned. In the sixth year of Guangxu (1880 September 14), Ma, Wang Shouzheng and Xue Baotian were on duty. They saw Jilin General offering two branches of ginseng. The roots are one foot long, golden in color, horizontal in texture and hard in texture. Taste its beard, taste slightly bitter, gradually return to sweetness, body fluid is full of mouth, and it will melt in a moment. Is it really the top grade? . The next day, Xue, Zhong and Ma felt their pulse and decided to take Jilin ginseng to see the Queen Mother. 12, Xue Baotian, Xue, Wang Shouzheng and Ma went to work again. Xue Baotian wrote in the Northbound Diary that the diary recorded his participation in the diagnosis of the Queen Mother:
I spent a dollar on ginseng yesterday, and my spirit is very healthy. The queen mother was very happy and said:? Jilin ginseng is quite effective, and it is still used now. ? Destroy, according to the original into the royal. Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the supervisor to hold out 80 apples and handed down the imperial edict of Empress Dowager Cixi: It was planted on a tree in Changchun Palace's yard and given to all people because of its sweetness. ? Is to thank each other and take it home.
For three days in a row, the horses took part in the duty. Is he? Nourishing pie? Obviously, it is the main decider of taking ginseng.
Empress Dowager Cixi, who has been ill, eats ginseng? Mental health? On this day, she sent eunuch Li Sanshun to send Mid-Autumn Festival food to her sister Fujin, the prince of wine. The eunuch failed to report to the worship room as required, and clashed with the guards at the meridian gate. Li Sanshun complained to the Queen Mother that he had been beaten and lost his meal. Cixi was furious and must severely punish the guards. This famous event in the history of the late Qing dynasty is called? Chen Geng Wumen case? Finally, it was resolved because Zhang Zhidong, the left bastard, and Chen, the right bastard, got a 20% discount. However, no one has ever noticed that the excitement and anger of Empress Dowager Cixi are directly related to her taking top-grade wild ginseng.
After Ma went to Beijing, he also met Empress Dowager Cixi. Twin sisters? Treat diseases. Guangxu six years (1September 20, 880) on August 16th, Ma recorded in his diary:
Xiaoyu, Tianming, Zhong Changting (Zhong), Xue Fuping (Xue) and Zhao Deyu () invited the pulse, discussed the cube, went to Yi Zhiren, and added Dendrobium huoense to offer it blindly. After dinner, the queen mother ordered the horse to go to the mansion to feel Fujin's pulse. Fujin is a compatriot of Cixi and a sister of Cixi, so he ordered Doctor Tong to go with Weng, the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and informed Manager Li first. I resigned as instructed and went to Baogong Building. Tightly guarded and large-scale. Wenzhi has been admitted to the clinic. He is very ill. He has been bedridden for ten years, but he ate raw rice and was unconscious. There is nothing to do after the diagnosis. Ye Gong is sure to be a cube, because he intends to add amber, dragon teeth, Ophiopogon japonicus and bamboo shavings to the diarrhea soup. Resign.
The next day, when Marvin was implanted in the palace to treat Empress Dowager Cixi, he said that Uncle Bao Fujin was hopeless. Mr. Gao, who collects horses, said: According to Ma, this treasured grandfather Fujin is the sister of Cixi. Of course there is nothing wrong, but I don't know if it's my sister or my sister. We only know that Cixi has a younger sister who married Prince Chun to be Fujin. We have never heard that another sister married Uncle Bao. Fujin? . As far as I know, there is no written record of who this Bao Gong was and what he did in the Qing court. There is no title of Prince Bao in the list of Prince's lineage in the Draft of Qing History. ?
Whether this precious grandfather Fujin is the sister of Empress Dowager Cixi has never been clear to me, but I have found two historical materials recorded by contemporary officials. One is that Weng Tonghe wrote in his diary on the sixth day of August: Lady Bagong, the sister of Empress Dowager Cixi, suffered from a wind disease, and the horse treated her, but she could not afford it. ? The other is a letter from Zhang Peilun to Zhang Shouzeng and Zhang on September 2/KLOC-0. Ma Peizhi is unlucky in medicine. Bao Gong's wife, Jing Shu's beloved daughter, and Tang Langzhong's closest relative all died in one month, and their reputation was slightly damaged, and they also declined as soon as possible. Fortunately, many people were not sent away. Those recommended by Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi have been repatriated. ? Here, it is slightly different from Bagong's name, and the date recorded by Ma Tonghe and Weng Tonghe does not correspond. However, Ma's handling of Empress Dowager Cixi's sister was obvious, and he did not hold himself accountable for the death of royalty. Cixi is generous and grateful to doctors all over the world.
The horse was scared and wanted to leave as soon as possible. /kloc-on the fifth day of October, he suddenly fell to the ground while waiting for treatment in the court room. Since then, he has been asking for leave, and the Queen Mother sent someone to visit him. In return, it is said that Ma Wenzhi was really ill and was postponed until March 26th of the following year. The Queen Mother allowed him to return to China.
Xue stayed in Beijing for a year. On the one hand, he treated Empress Dowager Cixi with superb skills. On the other hand, his wife and children cannot take care of them. In the meantime, the whole family was infected with the epidemic, and a daughter died unfortunately. His younger brother Xue privately complained:? Caress my brother for help, but none of my family is sick. What happened to the so-called carpenter who lacked enough beds to take care of himself? ?
The summer of the seventh year of Guangxu came slowly. Under the careful treatment and conditioning of Xue, Wang Shouzheng and others, the sick Cixi Eucharist finally recovered. On June 25th, the Qing court issued an imperial edict:
Empress Dowager Cixi supported Kang and Yu Zhuangcheng. Since last spring, the Eucharist has violated the peace and taken many measures. Now she is safe. I'm really happy. But if you think of kindness and bow, you will be reconciled. You should still take photos at any time and be lectured at night, but don't take part in coke and labor. I have no choice but to save the province. I should persuade the saints to be merciful, save when things go wrong, loosen it, raise it, and strengthen it to comfort the hopes of all the scholars in the world. Last year, Baoting invited all provinces to sponsor doctors. When sending letters to provincial governors, Baoting extended his visit in detail and was sent to Beijing. According to Li Hongzhang, Li, Peng Zuxian, Xue, Wang Shouzheng, the magistrate of a county, Ma and Tan, the secretary of Wu who went to Beijing, were ordered by the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and were sentenced to the same hospital for daily consultation. All the proposed prescriptions can be discussed carefully and a compromise can be reached. Xue, a Taoist priest in Wulin Road, Dongdongtai, Qian Shan, was given the post of Taoist priest and was named Minister of Political Affairs. The magistrate used Zhili as an alternate, and Wang Shouzheng, the magistrate of Yangqu County, Shanxi Province, wrote an inscription for the magistrate's absence and awarded him the title of salt ambassador. Zhuang Shouhe was commended by the right hospital, and he tried his best to make up the judgment of the left hospital, rewarding the top hat and Hualing with the three products. Li Dechang, a doctor with four titles, tried to make up the judgment of the hospital, and rewarded him with three titles, namely, wearing a flower feather. Doctors Luan Fuqing and Tong both tried to make up for the shortage of doctors, and were given five wearing articles. Li Tingrui, the son of Li Deli and the minister of the Ministry of War, was sentenced by the front right hospital in an attempt to make up for the shortage of doctors in this department. Xue, Wang Shouzheng, Zhuang Shouhe, Li Dechang and Ma were given plaques by letters. I admire that. Chen Cheng, Guang Shou, Shi Zeng, Bao Ting, a bachelor of cabinet, Li Hongzhang, governor of Zhili and a college student, Li, governor of Huguang, governor of Hubei, former governor of Jiangsu Wu and former governor of Jiangsu Tan, all discussed specific matters with the Ministry of Communications. Qin this!
It can be seen from this imperial edict that only Xue, Wang Shouzhong and Ma were praised by private doctors who went to Beijing. In addition to the horse, all the praised doctors (including cure too much) are in Beijing, so the army sent a State of the Union address to Jiangsu Governor Li Peijing:
The military department acts as a consultant. Today, an imperial edict was given to Ma's flat-headed party. After receiving it, give it to the employee, and it is also possible to deal with it accordingly. People who need counseling.
Xue quickly recruited into the tunnel of Zhili, and later served as the governor of Shuntian (equivalent to the mayor of Beijing), the magistrate of Zongren, and the left deputy governor of Douchayuan. He is the highest promoted doctor among you. Wang Shouzheng later served as Yangzhou magistrate, Tianjin magistrate and alternate Taoist priest. Both of them work in Beijing and Tianjin. Is it for your palace, so that the queen mother can need it in the future and make it convenient for diagnosis and treatment? Ma didn't get an official position, so he continued to practice medicine in his hometown. Is that it? Mengcheng medical college? An important representative of. Empress Dowager Cixi thanked the doctors who treated her and gave them a plaque and? Fu? Words. Xue's plaque title? Professional accomplishment? Wang Shouzheng got the inscription? Industry plays Tong Lei? (scout and tripterygium wilfordii, both legendary ancient physicians), what is the inscription that Ma Wenzhi got? The nature of business? .
?
This rare activity of recruiting folk doctors into the palace to treat diseases in history of qing dynasty has finally come to a successful conclusion.
