Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

With the imperial court's endorsement, medical students recommended from various places began to come to Beijing one after another. The first to arrive were medical students from various prefectures and counties in Beijing and Henan.

When Xu Chunfu was happy, he directly took all these people to the Yitong Hall and said, "I will screen them in advance for you."

Zhang Jiebin hid for a few days and returned to Yiyitang after receiving the imperial court's endorsement.

I was particularly happy to see a group of young medical students, and he introduced them in a cheerful voice: "Hello brothers, I am Zhang Jiebin in Xiashanyin. From now on, we may be brothers in the same discipline. Please give us your advice!"

Seeing Zhang Jiebin's enthusiasm, Xu Chunfu also said: "You are all young talents and rising stars in our medical field. You might as well get to know each other first and live together for a while in the future."

When everyone heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, but no one stood up first. At this time, a young man wearing a student uniform came out, and I saw that this man had a somewhat elegant temperament.

"Zhao Fengxiang, nicknamed Yu Bo, lived in Xixiong County. He was a young scholar, well versed in hundreds of schools of thought, capable of poetry and painting, and had a slight reputation. He was a doctor and had not yet started. This time he learned that Tai Hospital was enrolling students, so he came here to study.

, I would like to ask all the Fang family for your help in the future.”

As soon as Zhao Fengxiang said this, everyone was in an uproar, especially Baoding Mansion and its surroundings, they were even more excited.

"Did you hear that right? I, a talented scholar from Baoding, have also changed to study medicine?"

"I heard that he failed the exam last autumn, so I declared that I would no longer take the exam. I thought he would be in love with the mountains and rivers, wandering in the clouds and wild cranes, but I never thought that we would meet here today."

"My dear, the world has changed, and doctors have become so popular."

"This is the glory of our Baoding, and our medicine in Baoding is destined to flourish!"

Medical students from other prefectures were also shocked by everyone's comments. How could such a young scholar give up the scientific examination after just one try? How could this not raise eyebrows?

Zhao Fengxiang smiled indifferently, extremely free and easy, and didn't care about other people's opinions. A person next to him stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Brother Yu Bo, I have been passionate about Yixue since childhood, and have a relationship with Taoism. I joined the Taoist sect last year. You can also call him

For Danyazi."

Zhang Jiebin's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had not been shocked when he heard that he had abandoned Confucianism and pursued medicine. After all, it is very common to change majors in old age.

He personally also abandoned the military and Confucianism to become a doctor, but when he heard that he was related to Taoism, he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart. He was also related to Taoism, and he also liked the Book of Changes.

"Brother Yu Bo, what a coincidence. I also like Yi Xue and admire Taoism. One day I might be able to call you Taoist brother!"

Zhao Fengxiang cupped his fists and saluted, indicating that they knew each other.

The man from before continued: "My name is Wang Tingfu, from Anzhou, Xiangsheng."

Everyone was in an uproar again. Xiang Sheng was a member of Fuzhou County, commonly known as Juren. One was not enough, so there were two more. The key was that they were both from Baoding Prefecture.

"There are only a dozen prefectures and counties in Baoding, right?"

"It seems to be three states and seventeen counties."

"The number of people who can enter the school is no more than twenty in a big mansion, and no more than fifteen in a large state or county. If there is a lack of talent in the local area, there are only four or five people."

"There are only 320 people in this group. They are so young and have passed the exam ten times. How can they win the exam? Why give up this great future?"

"If I were a medical student, why should I study medicine? Even if I get to the 7th or 80th grade, I still have to pass the exam!"

No one understands why the two of them gave up their great future. In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that everyone has their own ambitions.

"I'm from Huolu County, Cui Yuanyu." When Cui Yuanyu said this, he didn't know how to introduce himself, so he shook his head and went down.

"Cui Yuanyu of Huolu County?" Wang Tingfu recited it again and asked: "I wonder who you are, Young Master Cui Yingqi?"

Cui Yuanyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said helplessly: "It's the ancestor of the family!"

These four words were like thunder, exploding in everyone's minds. Young Sima, a high-ranking member of the Ministry of War, was such an extraordinary person, and his grandson actually came to study medicine.

Cui Yuanyu clasped his fists and retreated to a corner, trying his best to hide his body behind others. But no one would look down on him at this time.

Next, another person stood up and continued to introduce: "My name is Tang Xinglu, but I don't dare to compare with the previous brothers. My ancestor was a disciple of Mr. Hejian, and my Tang family has only produced doctors for generations."

This time is different from the previous surprise, everyone is envious. This is the heir of the Hejian School!

Although four hundred years have passed, the north and south have "changed their offensive and defensive positions". The north seems to have exhausted its spiritual energy, has lost its former glory, and is inferior to the south.

But when it comes to the four great medical schools of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, who doesn’t admire the doctors in the world? The four great medical schools are passed down from generation to generation, originating from Hejian and originating from Hejian. They have left behind good stories for the ages.

"This is really great. I am Shu Zhu Danxi, and I can be considered a Danxi sect; Brother Cui is from Zhending Mansion, and must be closely related to Li Dongyuan, and belongs to the Yishui sect; Brother Tang is also a descendant of Hejian, and is an authentic Hejian sect.

From this point of view, we are about to gather the heirs of the four great families of Jin and Yuan."

Zhang Jiebin is so excited. He has been studying Shu Danxi for a long time, so he is considered a comrade early.

"What's the matter? Zhang Dairen doesn't have any descendants here!" Zhao Fengxiang said with a smile. Zhang Congzheng, also known as Zihe and nicknamed Dairen, is often called Zhang Dairen or Zhang Wanqiu.

"Brothers from Henan haven't come yet. There will definitely be successors of the evil-attacking sect." Zhang Jiebin said confidently.

"Okay, please don't interrupt the guest of honor. Let's continue with the introductions!" Xu Chunfu interrupted at this time and asked the remaining people to continue introducing themselves.

At this time, a chubby young man stood up and said with a smile: "My name is Yang Jian, and I am also from Zhending Prefecture, but I am from Baixiang County, which is a different county from Cui Yuanyu."

"Aren't you also abandoning Confucianism to become a doctor?" Zhang Jiebin asked.

"No, no, my family is a horse owner, and I raise horses. I came here just to learn how to treat horses." Yang Jian still smiled, and he was very harmless to humans and animals.

But it sounds very unpleasant to everyone.

"Brother, have you come to the wrong place? This is the imperial hospital, not the imperial palace!" one person said, and then they cupped their hands and said, "I am Sun Chusheng from Weixian County, whose courtesy name is Chenduo. He has been a doctor for generations and is good at acupuncture."

/p>

"Sun made a sound, this name fits the occasion!" Zhang Jiebin said with a smile, Xu Chunfu glared at him, and he left and turned back without saying anything else.

"Of course I know this is Taipei Hospital admissions, but isn't all medicine the same?" Yang Jian said unconvinced.

Sun made a sound and said angrily: "I hope you can ask me about it, cut it and see if that beast will pay attention to you."

"The horse is psychic, why can't you ask about Qie? Every sound he makes is an answer. As for the method of cutting, although I don't know how to do it, there is more than just pulse checking. Aren't abdominal examinations and stroking all the same methods of cutting?"

Besides, if I learn pulse diagnosis well, I might not be able to apply it immediately."

Yang Jian's talk was full of longing for the future.

"You are tarnishing medicine. I am too lazy to argue with you. Let's see if you can pass the exam." Sun snorted and ignored him.

At this time, another person came out and said: "I am Xie Yannian, a native of Qixia County, and my father is also a medical practitioner."

"I've met Brother Xie, but I wonder if there's anything I'm good at?" Zhang Jiebin explained very well what it means to be a host, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.

Xie Yannian said: "Similar to Brother Chen Duo, but I am personally more interested in meridian points. I am not limited to acupuncture, moxibustion, and massage. I can do it all."

"The relationship is great, and I have met a like-minded person. Please give me some advice in the future!" Sun Chusheng was very excited and left the trouble of quarreling with Yang Jian to Guawa Island.

"You don't look down on me, do you?" Yang Jian looked at Xie Yannian and asked.

Xie Yannian said: "No, I think it's good if I have my own hobbies and pursue them because I like them."

"That's good. I also think your choice is good. From now on, we will study medicine together. I also want to ask you for advice on how to find the horse's acupuncture points!" Yang Jian said to himself, without mentioning the horse.

.

"We all ask the teacher for advice, um, yes, ask the teacher for advice!" Xie Yannian's face froze, then he said, and as he spoke, it suddenly seemed natural.

"Mr. Xu, you will be our husband from now on, right? Will you treat horses?" Yang Jian asked. At this time, he still couldn't distinguish between imperial doctors and imperial doctors, thinking that all the doctors in the imperial hospital were imperial doctors.

"I don't know how to do this. If you really get admitted, you have to explore everything on your own. However, I can help you introduce the veterinarian at the Royal Horse Prison. I can also recommend you to go there and learn." Xu Chunfu smiled and asked Yang Jian what he wanted.

I don’t want to go to the Royal Horse Prison.

Yang Jian shook his head and said repeatedly: "No, I won't go. If dad finds out, he will break my legs."

"Look at you, you're a coward, you're worthy of dealing with beasts." Sun laughed out loud.

Zhang Jiebin said: "Brother Chen Duo, we are guests when we travel and friends when we meet. As the saying goes, you rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. We should love each other and support each other."

Sun's face turned red when he spoke, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Xu Chunfu nodded secretly, generally satisfied with Zhang Jiebin's knowledge.

In this way, a few more were introduced, and one person said: "I am Wu Yongchang of Xingtai, courtesy name Shilong, from Shunde Prefecture. He reads and explores by himself, and likes to collect ancient medical prescriptions."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, brother Shilong. Before, you were exploring on your own, but now you have the guidance of famous teachers. Well, we also have good friends to communicate with." Zhang Jiebin said that it was a pleasure to meet him. He was too enthusiastic to be honest, but for someone who has left his hometown, he is

A great comfort.

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhang, and please take care of me!" Wu Yongchang clasped his fists in thanks and asked everyone to take care of him.

After Wu Yongchang retreated, another person came up and said, cupping his fists: "I'm Yao Hong, Juye, who loves herbal medicine and often travels to Anguo. If you have any questions about herbal medicine, you can discuss it together."

"Wow, there are so many people, and finally there is an expert on herbal medicine. I am still thinking that medicine is the weapon of the doctor. If no one studies the medicine carefully, we will have no worries. Otherwise, how can we fight a life-and-death battle?"<

/p>

Zhang Jiebin exclaimed that he had really waited for a herbal expert for too long.

Yao Hong nodded and went down without saying anything. He has been going up the mountain to collect medicines and wandering around the medicine market all year round. He is good at dealing with herbal medicine and is not very good at communicating with others.

Zhang Jiebin doesn't care either. His personality is such that he takes everything carelessly and doesn't take it to heart.

Everyone just introduced each other one by one, and soon the last person was left, and he said: "I'm here with Li Shouqin in Si River, studying the Internal Classics, Youxi Taisu."

"Brother Li, me too. I think the Nei Jing is the foundation of medicine. If you master the Nei Jing, you will also master the true meaning of medicine!" Zhang Jiebin said very excitedly. He has his own ideas about the Nei Jing, and he can't even say it for seven days and seven nights.

Finished.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Let's discuss it if we have the opportunity." Li Shouqin clasped his fists and said. There are two types of rejection and sympathy for his colleagues, and he is obviously the latter.

Gyeonggi has a total of eight prefectures, two Zhili prefectures, seventeen subordinate prefectures, and 116 counties. Nearly 500 medical students were selected and screened once among the eight prefectures and two prefectures. The top ten were retained, and one was left.

Bai. After arriving in Beijing, they were screened again, and only about forty people were left.

After everyone was introduced, Xu Chunfu arranged for his apprentices to take them to rest. The backyard of Yiyi Hall was very large. It was originally an inn for rest, but after he transformed it, it could accommodate a full 500 people.

Sometimes patients are also allowed to stay overnight. Many patients come from various prefectures and counties and do not have time to leave the city. Some of them are not allowed by their illness and can only rest nearby.

Especially after Chen Shigong came, the number of surgical operations and the degree of surgery increased significantly. At this time, the number of permanent patients in Yixitang's backyard increased from a dozen to more than thirty. This is all due to Chen Shigong.

When everyone came downstairs, the lobby was still bustling with patients coming and going in an endless stream.

After passing Chen Shigong's place, Zhang Jiebin said: "Did you see that? This Brother Chen will also be our classmate. He is so powerful that he can kill anyone who commits suicide. Do you know who his mastery of swordsmanship is?"

Amid everyone's surprise, Sun spoke up and said, "Could it be Hua Tuo?"

Zhang Jiebin nodded and said: "Yes, he is Chen Shigong, Chen Yuren, who is known as Hua Tuo, and he is from Donghai. Maybe he and I will be from the south, and you are all from the north. But the two of us will definitely be the best!

”

"Why do you see that?" Sun said in dissatisfaction.

Tang Xinglu also said: "I don't think so."

"If you have the ability, compete with me as a doctor!" Yang Jian said.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be dissatisfied, right? My brother Chen can definitely do it. If you are not convinced, challenge him!" Zhang Jiebin said hurriedly.

"It's a competition. I can't heal people, but I've never been afraid of horses." Yang Jian said, and walked towards Chen Shigong.

Zhang Jiebin quickly stopped him: "It depends on the occasion. I'm in the clinic right now!"

Yang Jian returned with a smile.

Zhang Jiebin continued to start the fight: "Don't say I won't give you a chance. Brother Chen and I, you can choose whatever you want. Let's make friends through medicine. Wouldn't it be great!"

"This is what you said. If you lose, don't say that we are bullying the small ones!" Wang Tingfu said, among all the people, his medical skills are definitely among the top five.

Everyone knows most of each other's medical skills. After all, they have gone through two selections, both written tests and practical exercises. It can't be said that they know the basics, but they can still judge who is better.

Everyone is gearing up and eager to leave and fight for three hundred rounds. We are all elites selected from more than 500 people in more than 100 prefectures, prefectures and counties, and no one thinks that they are inferior to anyone else.

But then a voice came, which shocked everyone. No one expected that he would admit defeat.

"As long as you compete, I will admit defeat."
