In the Sweet Dew Hall.
Li Er, who was originally full of doubts, couldn't help but become hesitant after hearing Li Zexuan's solemn explanation. However, he didn't give in easily. "Brat, you're using your master as a scapegoat again. Why did Spiritual Master Lingxu accept such a wicked disciple ~?"
Li Zexuan almost vomited blood. He thought to himself, wasn't I forced by you ~? If you were slightly more cultured, would I have to "fight" like this?
"Your Majesty, I was originally pure and kind. However, I entered the big vat of corruption that is the imperial court! However, I absolutely have a pure and innocent heart towards Your Majesty and my master! "
Li Zexuan played a slick trick and said.
This time, it was Li Er's turn to vomit blood. "Brat, what do you mean? Don't tell me that my court has polluted you ~? "
"Cough cough ~! I definitely didn't mean that! "
Li Zexuan shook his head and cupped his hands. He flatly denied, "I only meant to say that surviving in the imperial court is far more complicated than what I learned in the mountains. I still have many things to learn ~!"
Li Er glanced at Li Zexuan and said unhappily, "You're so glib-tongued at such a young age. You've ruined the integrity of a loyal official ~!"
Li Zexuan didn't care. He never wanted to be a loyal official. It was too tiring. He also didn't want to be a sycophantic official. It was too smelly! He only wanted to live happily and freely!
"Your Majesty is right! I will definitely remember it in my heart! "
Looking up and seeing Li Er's face of disbelief, Li Zexuan could only change the topic. He said, "Your Majesty's previous concern, other than the effect of locusts, was that locusts couldn't be eaten by ordinary people. If this' Meteoric Success' was made from flour, even if it couldn't cure the illness, Your Majesty wouldn't blame me ~!"
In fact, it was true. Li Er knew clearly that his family's disease, Qi disease, could not be cured. After knowing that his meteoric rise was caused by locusts and that it could not help Changle's illness, Li Er was furious. But what he was really angry about was that his daughter had suffered so much. She ate locusts but could not be cured! If Meteoric Rise was made by something slightly more normal, Li Er might not be so angry!
"As for the effects of the locusts, my master came across it by chance during his medical practice. He didn't leave behind any medical books or notes. Moreover, Priest Sun isn't in Chang 'an right now, so I can't immediately prove the effects of the locusts to Your Majesty! However, I can guarantee that the locusts are not disgusting insects. Their meat is very delicious and has high nutritional value. It is comparable to black chicken and bird's nest! Words have no proof. I just happened to bring some of the Soaring Meteoric Success that the Academy made this afternoon! "
Speaking of this, Li Zexuan took out an oil paper package from his arms and opened it, revealing the golden Soaring Meteoric Success inside.
Li Er stared and said, "Why do you bring these things with you?"
Li Zexuan replied, "Your Majesty, since I invented the way to eat locusts, I usually bring some with me. When I am hungry, I can eat it as a snack. It is very delicious! Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. Seeing such delicious food, I can't hold back! "
After saying this, Li Zexuan apologized to Li Er. Then, he "couldn't wait" to grab a piece of Soaring Meteoric Success and put it into his mouth. He deliberately chewed it until it was crispy, causing the palace maids and eunuchs outside to blush with shame!
"Oh! It's really delicious! Your Majesty, do you want to try it? "
Li Er was frowning when Li Zexuan handed over a piece of Soaring Meteoric Success and asked.
"Scram!"
Even though Li Zexuan looked like he was eating very happily, Li Er couldn't help but feel nauseous when he thought that this thing was made by locusts. He then angrily said,
"I, will take my leave!"
When Li Zexuan heard this, not only did he not feel ashamed, but he also felt like he had been pardoned. He immediately took the opportunity to take his leave.
Li Er waved his hand in annoyance and didn't want to bother with Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan bowed and slowly left the hall.
"Retch, retch!"
Li Zexuan quickly walked out of the Imperial City and immediately scurried to a corner and retched.
The heavens took pity on him. This was the first time he had eaten such disgusting things like locusts in his previous life. Although he knew that locusts had many benefits for the human body, although he had made a solemn vow in front of Li Er just now and acted beautifully, when he actually ate locusts himself, he still couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Cough, cough. His performance in front of Li Er just now was just an act. What about bringing Soaring Meteoric Success with him every day as a snack? These were all lies. The reason he brought a bag of Soaring Meteoric Success today was because Changle had secretly informed him in the morning and he had prepared it in advance to deal with Li Er ~.
Therefore, the cause of these twists and turns was Changle, but the person who helped him through these difficulties was still Changle ~!
Sigh, I've finally gotten rid of Old Li! But in the end, it's still because there are too few medical books in this era that specifically introduce medicinal herbs. This led to the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Department not to recognize the magical effects of locusts! It seems that when Old Sun returns to Chang 'an, it's necessary to ask him to compile a medical book similar to the Compendium of Materia Medica ~!
After calming down his tumbling stomach, Li Zexuan thought silently in his heart.
In fact, there were many medical books that could be used in the Tang Empire, such as Shennong's Materia Medica, Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases, Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, and the Thousand-Gold Prescription that Sun Simiao might have started writing. These medical books could be said to have built a more complete medical system, but there were still certain limitations!
Because the starting point of these medical books was to prescribe medicine for diseases. Overall, their contents were mainly prescriptions for various diseases. But there were millions of diseases in the world, how could they cover all of them ~? Therefore, at this time, a medical book was needed to find another way to improve the current medical system.
The Compendium of Materia Medica was a peerless book that was compiled in the style of "categorizing categories". It was different from the previous medical books in that it introduced prescriptions by categorizing the herbs in the world into categories.
Li Shizen used about 27 years and after three rewrites, it was finally completed in the sixth year of the Wanli Era. There were more than 1.9 million words in the book, containing 1,892 types of medicine, 11,092 medical prescriptions, and 1,160 beautifully drawn illustrations. It was divided into 16 parts and 60 categories. It was a comprehensive collection of traditional Chinese medicine from the Han Dynasty in ancient China. It was a systematic summary of Chinese medicine before the 16th century. It was known as the "Magnum Canon of Oriental Medicine" and had a great impact on modern science.
In his previous life, although Li Zexuan did not read the Compendium of Materia Medica, he had read part of it. The medical effects of locusts were what he read in the Compendium of Materia Medica in his previous life. Now that he had abnormal mental strength, if he seriously recalled, he could still recall some of the contents.
