In 1551, Li Shizhen prescribed a pair of medicine to the king of Chu, but unexpectedly, the king of Chu vomited and diarrhea after taking the medicine, and was in a hurry, pulling out his sword to cut him, who knows, Li Shizhen said: "Congratulations to the prince!" ”
The king of Chu was in his 50s, but he had a strange illness.
It is indeed strange to say that this disease abandons the delicacies on the table, and when I walk all day long, I feel dizzy, my tongue is as thick as moss, and my belly is as big as a cow......
So, he invited the best imperial doctor around him to treat the disease, and he also exhausted the "tricks", but there was no effect, and the king of Chu began to rush to the doctor, and issued a reward to find a famous doctor in the rivers and lakes, and those who cured the king's illness were rewarded with a hundred hectares of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold and silver.
As soon as the notice came out, the door of the Chu Wangfu was crowded, but the condition became more and more serious! The king of Chu sighed all day long, but he was helpless.
The next day, the housekeeper quietly said a word to the king of Chu, and the king of Chu hurriedly said: "Hurry up, please, there will be rewards for curing heals!" ”
This doctor who entered the house is "Li Shizhen".
But who knew that as soon as Li Shizhen came to the palace, he moved a stool and sat next to the king of Chu, and did not see the prince, just sat for an afternoon, the prince asked patiently, and the doctor said: "Prince, don't worry, you let me see it for a while." ”
After a while, the doctor told the king of Chu: "You have the disease of "accumulation", (in ancient times, accumulation was called cirrhosis of the liver in modern times), and after speaking, he didn't care about anything else, picked up the pen, and wrote the prescription.
This recipe is recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica": a traditional Chinese medicine prescription with the same origin as medicine and food, which has a good maintenance effect on the liver.

After reading the prescription, the imperial physician of the Chu Wangfu looked at him with incredible eyes, this prescription is clearly harmful, how can it be used to treat diseases!
"King Chu's illness can't be delayed!" Go grab the medicine. Li Shizhen shouted anxiously
Who would have thought that after the king of Chu drank the medicinal soup, the whole person vomited and diarrhea was not counted, and the person looked more wilted, the king of Chu was suddenly furious and wanted to cut Li Shizhen, but Li Shizhen was very calm at this time, and came out with a sentence: "Congratulations to the prince"
Then he said slowly, "It's right to have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, you look at the burning three incense sticks, and when it's finished, if the prince is not good, I will voluntarily sacrifice my head!" ”
Before the incense was burned, the king of Chu here felt hungry, and instructed the maid to prepare the meal, feast on it, and after a while, his stomach gradually became smaller.
The king of Chu was overjoyed to see that he had returned to normal, and he constantly thanked Li Shizhen for his admiration for the five bodies, and immediately recommended him to serve in the Tai Hospital, and rewarded Li Shizhen heavily according to the promise of the notice.
In the following decades, Li Shizhen traveled all over the country, tasted herbs, and finally completed the medical masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica", which has been passed down for centuries.
