What medicine does the king and his ministers have?

"Your Majesty, you can't!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

"We'll try it in the future!"

The situation of the generals is actually not very good.

Only those like Dian Chu, who had rough skin and thick flesh, and Gan Wenjin, who lived in the sea, were immune to mosquito bites, while others suffered a few bites.

Especially Li Jingji, his nose was bitten by an unknown mosquito and became swollen.

Originally, the combination of facial features was somewhat graceful, but now she is on par with Wei Jishu.

Under such a severe situation, if someone wanted to taste the herbs to test the medicinal properties of Jiaozhi herb, the soldiers would naturally be happy.

But if this person is the emperor, then even if he is secretly happy in his heart, he will still say anything to dissuade him.

However, Liu Ke was extremely stubborn. He grabbed a handful of dry unknown herbs and spoke in a very calm tone, but with a strong will that could not be doubted:

"When I was among the people, I drank dew when I was thirsty and ate grasshoppers when I was hungry. What haven't I eaten?"

“Can’t you eat this herb?!”

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be moved.

Li Jingji's stubborn nose even shed tears.

Your Majesty was so poor when he was among the people. During the years when he and Wei Jishu were Taoist priests, they lived in poverty and did not eat grasshoppers!

Chen Fujia, who was forcibly captured by Dian Chu, lost a little weight. Although he kept having vomiting and diarrhea, his brain was still functioning well.

Even if the emperor wanted to conquer Jiaozhi for the sake of his soldiers, he would not be so unwise.

Tasting herbs is risky!

The emperor is also a human being, even though the people say that he has destiny in him, and he is also said to be a saint and emperor who enlightened the Tao in the forest, but after all, he is a body of flesh and blood.

Although the emperor was good at fighting and wise and mighty, he was not invulnerable to all poisons!

After tasting Baicao, whether it tastes good or not is secondary. What if it is poisoned and something goes wrong?

Then don’t they have to be buried together?

Chen Fujia knew in his heart that the emperor should just talk and express the idea of ​​​​"wanting to taste a hundred herbs for the soldiers."

This can stabilize the morale of the troops, and secondly, it can also stimulate the doctors to speed up the process of identifying herbal medicines.

Isn't this the same as when Cao Hou cut off his hair and replaced him as the head?

Those in power are good at playing with people's hearts.

However, these idiots in the camp did not understand the emperor's profound intentions at all. Loyalty means loyalty, but they are stubborn.

Do you really think the emperor is the same as you big-headed soldiers?

At this time, someone had to set up a platform to give the emperor a step down.

So Chen Fujia held his swollen face and said intermittently:

"Your Majesty has this intention, and I know it, but your Majesty's body of millions of dollars must not take such risks."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

With Chen Fujia taking the lead, many soldiers also understood.

They accepted the emperor's wishes, but they really couldn't do such a thing!

Even if they haven't really tasted the herbs, with the dignity of a country's king, they can say such words, they still feel that this expedition is worth it.

So all the soldiers also responded to Chen Fujia:

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

Liu Ke glanced at Chen Fujia, who was supporting his sick body and looking somewhat complacent.

Good guy, he finally made up his mind and stretched out his feet to explore the edge of the wave. Chen Fujia was so nervous that he almost took back his stretched out feet.

If he didn't have the destiny of [Poison Resistance], he wouldn't dare to do things like tasting herbs, which would most likely cost him half his life!

After making up his mind again, Liu Ke suddenly asked an irrelevant question:

"What are kings and ministers?"

Chen Fujia was startled.

Is the emperor trying to use the hierarchical position of "lord" and "minister" to say that those in higher positions should not easily take risks and step down?

"Jun"

Before Chen Fujia could quote the classics, Liu Ke interrupted him:

"A Dian, throw Chen Qing back to the camp to rest. He is sick and his brain is not working well."

Dian Chu pulled Chen Fujia up. It seemed that the carrot was of no use.

Chen Fujia returned to the camp in confusion. As soon as he lay down, he felt his head was drowsy and he simply fell asleep.

"What are kings and ministers?"

This time Liu Ke looked directly at Xia Buju.

Xia Buju was stunned and frightened.

He is just a doctor, neither a general nor a soldier, so why ask him?

Even if we quote from classics, we are also quoting from medical books!

Wait for the medical book?

Xia Buju was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, bowed, and took a peek at the emperor's expression. He felt that it was nothing serious, so he said cautiously:

"This "jun" is the main drug in the prescription. It is a drug that can play a major role in targeting the main cause and main symptoms of a disease."

"That's what the "Nei Jing" says: The person who treats the disease is called the king."

Liu Ke nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Xia Buju took a deep breath and encouraged himself. Although he didn't know what the emperor meant, he quoted the medical book correctly.

"The Nei Jing also says: A person who assists the emperor is called a minister."

"This minister refers to the medicine that assists and enhances the effectiveness of the "king medicine"."

"For example, the cinnamon twig in Ephedra Decoction is an auxiliary monster that helps Ephedra to sweat and relieve the symptoms, so it is a ministerial drug in Ephedra Decoction."

When it came to medical books, Xia Buju was quite handy. Seeing that the emperor's face had become more appreciative, he became more confident, his spirit was shaken, and he continued:

"In addition, there are "zuo" and "envoy"."

"Under the minister's name, it is called "adjuvant", and an adjuvant medicine is a compound medicine that is close to the minister's medicine."

"In addition to assisting the role of the monarch medicine like the ministerial medicine, it can also assist the monarch medicine in relieving some secondary symptoms."

"And this "Shi", from the meaning of the word "Shi", Shi medicine is the most important medicine in a prescription."

"It is also said in the "Nei Jing": The minister's medicine is an envoy. From this we can see that the envoy's medicine is an auxiliary medicine for the minister's medicine."

Xia Buju felt a little proud in his heart. Although the emperor knew about the "monarch and ministers" in medical science, he didn't know about the "assistants and envoys"!

"Well said, Xia will not receive a salary increase."

When the words came to his lips, Liu Ke suddenly paused, and then continued slowly: "Additional salary of three stones."

Xia Buju thought that his salary would be increased, but he was very happy.

When I heard it, it was only three stones?

Which court kills two stones with its salary?

Liu Ke glanced at him and squeezed the unknown herbal medicine in his hand. To taste the herbs, I have to taste them myself. It’s good that I didn’t give you any discount:

"From the perspective of medical books, in order to cure diseases, we must have the four medicinal materials of "lord, minister, assistant and envoy"."

"This "jun" is the main medicine, and other medicinal materials are just supplementary."

"If you don't include "lord" in the prescription, no matter how many "ministers, assistants, and envoys" you put in, they will just be auxiliary medicines."

"How to cure the disease?"

"It is said that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, but isn't this Shennong one of the Three Emperors?"

Liu Ke lowered his head slightly, then raised his head, looked in all directions, and then said:

"You officers and men are going out to protect the people of Qiongzhou from war."

“People farm and pay taxes for the prosperity of the country and the court.”

"I am the country, so I should do something."
