Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 182: Like a Treasure

After the founding of the Daqi Dynasty, the first director of the Imperial Medical Bureau was Old Man Yun.

After he retired, the position of the dean was taken over by his eldest disciple Ouyang Ming.

The two generations of imperial physicians of the Cheng family were inferior to them.

Ouyang Ming is now old and has long considered retiring.

If Ouyang Ming, the chief judge, retires, the new chief judge will most likely be chosen between Cheng Chong, the left judge, and Zhong Hui, the right judge.

Zhonghui was selected from the public to join the Imperial Medical Bureau because of his outstanding medical skills.

On weekdays, he only treated nobles in the Imperial Hospital and didn't care about anything else.

Therefore, he has neither family background nor power to support him.

Cheng Chong is different. He has the Cheng family behind him and is currently favored by the empress dowager. His medical skills are also top-notch among all the imperial doctors.

Therefore, Cheng Chong felt that he was the only one who could be the new dean.

However, there have been rumors recently that Ouyang Ming wants to promote his own family members to the top.

Cheng Chong, who was originally full of confidence, could no longer sit still.

After all, although the Imperial Medical Service was affiliated with the Taichang Temple, it served the royal family and had basically no presence in the court.

Matters like the appointment of the head of the court are very likely to be decided by His Majesty with just a word. It is not at all like the appointment and dismissal of officials in the six ministries, where the officials of the three provinces and six ministries have to propose candidates, discuss them, and then submit them to His Majesty for decision.

His Majesty's health has been taken care of by Ouyang Ming over the years, and His Majesty has great trust in Ouyang Ming's medical skills, not to mention that he also studied under Grandpa Yun.

If Ouyang Ming really says a few good words for his family member in front of His Majesty, he can recommend his family member to replace the position of Dean.

Then it is not impossible for someone from the Ouyang family to compete for the position of dean.

Seeing that he was about to get the position of dean, Cheng Chong suddenly had a rival, and he was furious.

Just at this time, Yun Gansong handed him a letter, wanting to ask him to meet.

Cheng Chong originally didn't want to pay attention to him.

The relationship between the two in the Imperial Hospital was not bad, but it was not good either.

Unexpectedly, Yun Gansong said that he had the medical notes left by Mr. Yun and was willing to give them to Cheng Chong. Only then did Cheng Chong find time to meet Yun Gansong outside.

Cheng Chong was certainly not stupid enough to think that Yun Gansong asked him to meet just to give him Mr. Yun’s medical notes.

But he originally thought that Yun Gansong wanted to use this book of the deceased doctor's notes to ask him to help him return to the Imperial Hospital.

Unexpectedly, Yun Gansong asked for revenge on Yun Fuling.

Cheng Chong thought about it and felt that this was not strange.

Yun Gansong has fallen to his current state all thanks to Yun Fuling. It would be strange if Yun Gansong didn't hate Yun Fuling to death!

Cheng Chong also had his own plans in mind.

Isn’t it because of the Yun family’s status in the medical field that Ouyang Ming can have his current status?

If he could embarrass Yun Fuling at the Xinglin Conference and make the Yun family no longer qualified to be the leader of Xinglin, then the Cheng family could take advantage of the opportunity.

Once the Cheng family replaces the Yun family, it will in turn help him take the position of the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The two people, each with their own ulterior motives, immediately hit it off and reached a cooperation.

After getting Cheng Chong's assurance, Yun Gansong pushed the medical book in front of him.

Cheng Chong got the medical book and immediately started flipping through it impatiently.

In addition to some wound suturing techniques, medical books also record some extremely bizarre medical concepts.

For example, blood transfusion, cesarean section, etc.

From today's perspective, these methods of saving lives seem like sorcery. They don't seem like ways to save lives at all. They are more like killing people.

But Cheng Chong felt like he had found a treasure.

When he was out for training in his early years, he met a deceased doctor.

It was also at that time that Cheng Chong became interested in Dr. Shang.

Seeing that the deceased doctor was doing various cutting and suturing experiments on rabbits and other small animals, Cheng Chong had an idea. He thought that the human body might also be able to be sutured and regenerated like rabbits.

It’s a pity that the Cheng family advocates the orthodox way, and inferior medical skills like those of Doctor Shang are not allowed in the Cheng family.

Cheng Chong could only study it secretly.

Until some time ago, he heard that someone had cut open the stomach of a dying person in Jiangzhou.

The person who had his caesarean section not only did not die, but was saved.

He immediately sent someone to Jiangzhou to inquire in detail.

After some inquiries, I found out that the dying person was the young master of Prime Minister Lu's family.

The one who performed the abdominal surgery to save the patient was Yun Fuling.

Cheng Chong was shocked, but he became even more enthusiastic about the art of the deceased doctor.

He thought of the time when Emperor Taizu was conquering the world, when Old Man Yun was serving as a military doctor in the army. His medical skills in the treatment of the wounded were unmatched in the world.

Yun Fuling's laparotomy technique might have been passed down from Grandpa Yun.

Moreover, Mr. Yun might have left behind some medical books, and the medical techniques recorded in the books must include more than just laparotomy.

Cheng Chong has not yet figured out how to make friends with Yun Fuling and get the medical book on Shang Yi left by Grandpa Yun from her.

Unexpectedly, Yun Gansong came to the door first.

He also claimed that he had the medical notes left by Mr. Yun.

It was because of this letter from the deceased doctor that Cheng Chong was willing to meet Yun Gansong.

Unexpectedly, he made the right choice this time. Yun Gansong really had the medical notes left by Mr. Yun.

But after flipping through a few pages, Cheng Chong discovered that the ink on the medical book was very new and did not look like an old book.

Moreover, this medical book is only a dozen pages long and is obviously incomplete.

When Yun Gansong heard Cheng Chong's question, he did not try to fool him with words, but directly and generously admitted it.

"Yes, the notebook I gave you is not the original one left by Mr. Yun."

Seeing Cheng Chong's expression change when he heard this, Yun Gansong waved his hand and continued, "Don't worry."

"Although this is not the original, it is real. I just copied it by hand."

"The originals left by the old man, of course I want to keep them as a family heirloom, how can I just give them away."

"It's very good to give you this manuscript."

Cheng Chong's expression eased slightly when he learned that although the letter was a handwritten copy, the contents were real.

“Is there something missing here?”

Yun Gansong didn't expect Cheng Chong to see it, so he nodded and said frankly: "The book I gave you only has the first half."

"When you have done what you promised me, I will naturally give you the other half with both hands!"

Seeing that Yun Gansong still had a trick up his sleeve, Cheng Chong was angry but could do nothing about it.

He gritted his teeth and carefully wrapped the half-volume of the medical practitioner's notes in his hand with cloth again.

"If you dare to play tricks on me, my Cheng family will make sure that Yun Gansong has no place to stand in Daqi!"

Hearing Cheng Chong's warning words, Yun Gansong cupped his hands and said sincerely, "I am sincerely cooperating with Doctor Cheng. How could I be playing around?"

Cheng Chong said nothing more. He took the cloth bag containing the doctor's notes and left the box.

Yun Gansong looked at his back, his eyes were gloomy, and a hint of fierceness flashed across them.

How dare you threaten him!
