With the Imperial Palace Imperial Bodyguards opening the way, Sun Simiao had a smooth journey from Pang De to the front of Taiji Palace. Sun Simiao was already advanced in age, plus he had cured Empress Zhangsun, this was the highest preferential treatment that Li Shimin could give Sun Simiao.
"Doctor Sun, please." Pande bowed.
Sun Simiao nodded. After getting out of the car, he strode into Taiji Palace. However, he discovered that Taiji Palace was already filled with civil and military officials. Furthermore, the entire Taiji Palace was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Almost all the civil and military officials were standing together. Opposite them was a lone Mohist.
"Doctor Sun!" The civil and military officials saw Sun Simiao coming in and couldn't help but respectfully greet him.
No matter how much they coveted the True Medicine of Azure Dragon, no one dared to offend Sun Simiao, the most skilled doctor in the Tang dynasty. Everyone was mortal and would get sick sometimes. Maybe one day they would come to him and beg for his help.
Sun Simiao nodded and returned the greeting. With his current status and achievements, he wouldn't be rude even in front of His Majesty.
"Well, since Doctor Sun is here, you can start!" Li Shimin saw Sun Simiao coming and waved his hand.
The Imperial Physician stood out from the crowd and said, "The Green Dragon True Medicine is the blessing of the millions of people of Great Tang. Marquis Mo, please don't keep it to yourself. Consider the lives of the people in the world and offer up the formula of the Green Dragon True Medicine. Only then can more people be saved!"
It was reasonable to say that the Imperial Institute of Medicine was the holy land of medicine in the world. However, the emergence of Mo Hospital directly put the Imperial Institute of Medicine in an extremely embarrassing situation. Whether it was the Crown Prince's foot disease, the Empress's Qi disease, or the Retired Emperor Li Yuan's stroke, they were all diagnosed and treated by Mo Hospital. The imperial physicians were only assistants, which made the imperial physician extremely embarrassed.
Especially with the emergence of the True Medicine of Azure Dragon, Mo Hospital's prestige reached the peak. If the Imperial Institute of Medicine couldn't have the True Medicine of Azure Dragon, it wouldn't be long before there was no need for it to exist. This was also the reason why the imperial physician spared no effort to obtain the True Medicine of Azure Dragon.
"Yes, countless people in the Tang dynasty die of illness every year. If the True Medicine of Azure Dragon can benefit the world, it will be the gospel of the world!" An Imperial Censor stood out and said.
Linghu Defen also stood out and said, "The True Medicine of Azure Dragon is so miraculous, but the daily production is extremely limited.. if it can produce more, it will be a peerless weapon to the Ministry of Rites... use it to open a path in the Western Regions and establish good relations with the nobles of the Western countries. and make friends with the nobles in the Western countries. and establish a good relationship with the nobles in the western countries countries... Which country country in the Western Countries is not the Tang dynasty?".....
The Imperial imperial's's's The The Medicine of the dynasty dynasty '.................... of it, raised raised raised is... Sun. Once the Tang dynasty used the True Medicine of Azure Dragon to control the life and death of the nobles in the foreign countries, the Tang dynasty would be unstoppable in the Western Regions.
Morton couldn't help but look coldly at Linghu Defen. Linghu Defen had gone to such great lengths to obtain the True Medicine of Azure Dragon for the Ministry of Rites. It was likely that he had ulterior motives. If the Ministry of Rites had many True Medicines of Azure Dragon, Linghu Defen would have easily obtained one for his mother.
Only now did Sun Simiao understand what the Imperial Censors were trying to do. They were trying to force the Mo Family and the School of Medicine to hand over the True Medicine of Azure Dragon.
"The House of Mo loves the world with impartiality. This philosophy is admired by the world. If Marquis Mo is willing to announce the formula of the Green Dragon True Medicine to the world, wouldn't it be in line with the House of Mo's philosophy?" Du Yan stepped out and echoed the crowd, using both the carrot and the stick.
The Imperial Censors spoke up one after another. Some praised the Mo Family, some stated their strength, some pleaded for the sake of the world, and some bluntly said that the Mo Family was blinded by greed.
After all, the True Medicine of Azure Dragon was a peerless weapon that could determine the life and death of countless people. If it was only in the hands of the Mo Family, no one would be safe.
"You are not ordinary people. You are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court. This is how you act. When you see something good in someone else's house, you want to snatch it. How is this any different from bandits?" Meton looked at the Imperial Censors with a mocking expression.
"Eh!" The faces of the Imperial Censors immediately turned red. Although they were talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, they had subconsciously neglected a big premise. That was, the True Medicine of Azure Dragon belonged to the Mo Family. They were using the Mo Family's things to pretend to be generous. If they had a formula that could make a fortune today, they probably wouldn't be willing to announce it either.
"Divine Doctor Sun! You pity the state of the universe and the fate of mankind. I'm afraid you also don't want to see the people of the Tang dynasty leave in pain because of a lack of medicine. "Linghu Defen turned to Sun Simiao and pleaded.
Sun Simiao couldn't help but fall into a dilemma. As the School of Medicine, he naturally hoped for an endless supply of True Medicine of Azure Dragon. That way, no matter how many patients there were, the School of Medicine could easily treat them.
For the School of Medicine to be where it was today, the Mo Family had contributed greatly. In addition, the True Medicine of Azure Dragon was developed by the Mo Family, so all the medicine was controlled by the School of Medicine. The School of Medicine owed the Mo Family a great debt. If he were to stab the Mo Family in the back now, it would go against medical ethics.
Sun Simiao thought for a moment and said, "The True Medicine of Azure Dragon has just been developed. It's normal for it to be scarce. Moreover, the Mo Family has been working hard to expand production. This Old Man believes that it won't be long before the True Medicine of Azure Dragon can be mass-produced and the people of the world can be treated."
"Mass-Produced!" The Imperial Censors couldn't help narrowing their eyes.
They had all heard that the price of the True Medicine of Azure Dragon was five hundred copper coins per vial. If the Mo Family mass-produced the True Medicine of Azure Dragon and supplied it to the entire country, it wouldn't take more than a year for them to become rich enough to rival a country. No one would be willing to see such a powerful Mo Family.
"How much manpower and resources does a mere Mo Family Village have? Even if the medicine produced could be supplied to Chang 'an, it would already be pretty good. What about Luoyang? Jiangnan? Or even Lingnan? Could it be that the Mo Family can supply all of them? Moreover, how could anyone be able to afford the sky-high price of five hundred copper coins per vial? "Du Yan shook his head and said.
"Merton, please put the common people of the world first! Make the True Medicine of Azure Dragon's formula public. This way, all the doctors of the world will be able to cultivate the True Medicine of Azure Dragon. Not only will the common people be treated, the price will also be greatly reduced, benefiting the world. "Kong Yingda stepped forward and said.
Although the Confucian School was the head of the hundred schools of thought, if the Mo Family really controlled the True Medicine of Azure Dragon, with a divine medicine like the True Medicine of Azure Dragon, in a life-threatening situation, the Mo Family would surpass the Confucian School in the near future.
The Minister of War, Hou Junji, jumped out and said, "It is said that the True Medicine of Azure Dragon has miraculous effects on external injuries. Who knows how many soldiers have been injured in battle? If there is enough True Medicine of Azure Dragon to treat them, it will be a blessing for the entire army."
The militarists were also determined to obtain the True Medicine of Azure Dragon. If they had the True Medicine of Azure Dragon, the militarists would have no worries in future battles. Even if some of the generals had a good impression of Meton, they couldn't help but sigh when it came to the future of the militarists.
"Merton, please put the common people of the world first and make the formula of the True Medicine of Azure Dragon public!" The Imperial Physician's face was full of righteousness as he confidently requested.
Meton saw that the officials were pressuring him and sneered, "Isn't that simple? The formula of the True Medicine of Azure Dragon is the Azure Dragon Fungus. This fungus can be found in all the tailors in Chang 'an City. If you are interested, you can refine it yourselves. "
The Imperial Physician's face immediately turned awkward. How could he not have thought of this idea? He had already secretly cultivated the Azure Dragon Fungus, but he had no idea how to refine it and had no idea where to start.
Moreover, the Imperial Physician wasn't the only one who had secretly cultivated it. Even the other officials who had medicine shops under their names had secretly ordered people to copy it. After all, the huge profits involved were obvious. Unfortunately, they had all thought too simply and returned empty-handed in the end. Thus, everyone worked together to force the Mo family to hand over the formula of the True Medicine of Azure Dragon.
The Imperial Physician was unwilling to give up, "What the Old Man is talking about is not the Azure Dragon Fungus, but the method to refine it!"
Meton looked at the Imperial Physician with disdain, "The True Medicine of Azure Dragon is refined from the Azure Dragon Fungus. It can't be seen with the naked eye, and the refining method is extremely complicated. It's not that I'm looking down on the Imperial Physician, but even if the Mo family gave you the formula of the True Medicine of Azure Dragon, you still wouldn't be able to refine it."
The Imperial Physician couldn't help but fly into a rage out of humiliation, angrily saying, "Mo Jiazi dares to bully me? This Old Man has practiced medicine for decades and is proficient in countless medical formulas. Other than Divine Doctor Sun, who else has this Old Man submitted to? Even if Hua Yuan was here, he wouldn't dare to boast like this."
He was able to hold the position of the Imperial Physician, so he naturally had some skills. Other than the world-famous Sun Simiao, he really didn't submit to anyone. Even Hua Yuan was defeated by him.
Meton looked at the Imperial Physician, shook his head and sighed, "You're obsessed with officialdom and have already lost the heart of a doctor. You're already a frog at the bottom of the well, but you don't know that the outside world has already made rapid progress. Medicine is no longer the era where it can be cured by a few herbal decoctions. How many people have you treated in the Imperial Physician's Hospital over the years? Even if you were to be placed in the Mo Hospital, I'm afraid you wouldn't be qualified."
Although Meton's words were harsh, he didn't blame the Imperial Physician wrongly. With the microscope and the True Medicine of Azure Dragon, the field of medicine had undergone earth-shaking changes. The Imperial Physician's previous methods had already become outdated.
Moreover, the Imperial Physician only treated people in the palace and high officials. How many patients could he treat? He couldn't compare to the experience of treating hundreds of patients in the Mo Hospital.
"Ignorant child, how dare you bully me! Doctor Sun, you're the senior of Xing Lin. You be the judge! "The Imperial Physician was furious and shouted at Sun Simiao.
Sun Simiao looked at the Imperial Physician with pity and said, "Although Merton's words are extreme, they don't make sense. True medical skills are accumulated through continuous treatment of patients. This is also the reason why the Old Man refused the imperial court's invitation. The Old Man saw your prescription and it was stable. It doesn't ask for no results, but it asks for no mistakes. Even the ordinary doctors in the Mo Hospital wouldn't be like this."
He had long been dissatisfied with the Imperial Physician. If it wasn't for the fact that his prescription for Empress Zhangsun was too stable, Empress Zhangsun's condition wouldn't have deteriorated so much.
"I …" The Imperial Physician couldn't help but feel blood rush to his head. He had been a doctor all his life and now his reputation was ruined. Didn't he want to prescribe medicine? The palace was full of high officials and high officials. If any of them had a problem, as the Imperial Physician, he wouldn't be able to escape responsibility. Over time, his prescription became stable.
"Enough!" Li Shimin waved his hand and stopped the chaos in the imperial court.
The Imperial Physician took advantage of the situation and retreated with a resentful expression.
"Merton, it's not that the officials in the imperial court are after the School of Mohism's secret technique. It's that the Green Dragon True Medicine affects the lives of the people. No matter which department, it's very useful. There are also countless people who are dying and waiting for the miracle medicine to save their lives. I can't bear to see this happen, so I summoned the School of Mohism and the School of Medicine to discuss this matter." Li Shimin said with pity.
The School of Mohism and the School of Medicine had just cured Empress Zhangsun, so he naturally couldn't snatch the Green Dragon True Medicine. However, if the School of Mohism controlled the lives of the people, it would also be detrimental to the imperial court's rule.
Meton couldn't help but fall silent. He naturally understood Li Shimin's meaning and could only explain: "The Minister just said that the Green Dragon True Medicine is too complex and requires the cooperation of the entire School of Mohism's industrial system to succeed. Even if they know the formula, I'm afraid they won't be able to refine it."
Hou Junji sneered: "What a joke! Merton is too arrogant. This Old Man has heard of a saying before, 'If you teach your disciple, you'll starve the master to death.' Therefore, when teachers teach their disciples, they'll always hold back a trick or two. Merton is the head of the School of Mohism, he won't be infected by these bad habits of the common people, right? "
Hou Junji was born in the wilderness and had a deep understanding of the common people. Naturally, he already knew about the dark side of the common people.
"Hold back!"
Immediately, many people focused their attention on Meton.
