(721) False Words, Rockery
- On the night she came out of the secret passage, the illness of the second prince Wang Hong was a little strict. It's just that he has been plagued by deficiency since he was a child, and he has become accustomed to or developed a kind of patience, if it weren't for the excessive discomfort of his body, he wouldn't have seen anything abnormal on the surface.
Until the light of day outside, on the couch with a silk tent in the inner room of the dormitory, the people who fell asleep last night still did not move at all.
The palace maids knew that His Royal Highness had left the palace yesterday evening and returned tired, so no one went to visit him in the morning. When Concubine De came last night, she also said that the prince didn't have to get up early to ask for peace in the past few days.
Although the palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace are highly respected by the lord, some rules are not required to be done, but because of this, all the servants in this prince's residence are more considerate of the master's wishes, rather than just forcing them to maintain them just to abide by the rules.
Even if Concubine De didn't come last night, there would be no palace maid to disturb the prince today. Even if there were, the servant who went would only enter the inner chamber gently, and if the master did not respond, he would gently retreat, as if he had never been there.
However, something like this, which has been done many times in the past, has an accident today.
The second prince, Wang Hong, slept until noon, and still did not make the slightest movement to get up, which was a bit strange from the perspective of the servants of Huayang Palace.
All the servants know that His Royal Highness the Prince is a very diligent person, only saying that reading in the morning and reading at night is a compulsory thing to do every day after getting up and before going to bed, and it rarely stops. Yesterday, His Royal Highness stopped reading at night because he was unwell, and he also stopped reading in the morning today, which is a matter of common sense.
But His Highness never got up so late, and even when he got up, he couldn't do much, and most of the time he spent himself in a quiet and quiet place or reading a book or playing chess and playing the piano, but when he could sit, he would never be happy to lie down.
You can still do something while sitting, but you can do something when you're lying down. There was a time when His Highness used to say this.
When several palace maids in Huayang Palace gradually realized a feeling of unease, after a little discussion, they finally couldn't help it, without the permission of His Royal Highness the Prince. When they opened the silk tent, they were immediately frightened by the prince's pale but somewhat weirdly flushed face.
Although these servants all knew that the prince they were waiting for was a very patient person, from a certain point of view, this was actually a master who was not very easy to serve. Because his pain cannot be expressed in time, and by the time he can no longer bear it, the sickness that often plagues him has often reached a point of collapse.
It was also because of the second prince's weak physique that Huayang Palace chose a location closer to the Taiyi Bureau at the beginning of the new repair, but on the way to the Taiyi Bureau, several palace maids only felt as if they had run hundreds of miles in a row. There is already some weakness in the bones of his legs.
And looked at the gate of the Taiyi Bureau, which was not a few steps away in front of him. That last bit of travel was for them. It's like stepping on a ladder above the clouds, and it's rare that you can't even take half a step.
※※※※※※
Knowing that the second prince's condition was repeated, three imperial doctors came to the Imperial Medical Bureau together.
According to the usual practice, the prince was in poor health. It is not necessary to mobilize so many doctors in the Tai Medical Bureau at once. Compared with the previous dynasty, the Taiyi Bureau in the new dynasty is very staffed. There are only nine main imperial doctors, and three more were removed three years ago for some reason, and they have not been filled in since, so there are only six people on the post in the list of nine doctors. These six people perform their own duties, and the daily workload is quite large.
Unlike other officials, medical officers do many things that cannot be done verbally. At most, the students and medicine children in the Taiyi Bureau can do some things to catch medicines, boil them, and deliver medicines according to prescriptions, and as for the patient's pulse, complexion, and other problems, the medical officer needs to visit them in person.
Let's just go to General Xuanwei's mansion. A round trip plus the time spent on diagnosis and treatment can occupy more than three hours for an imperial doctor, which is almost equivalent to using half of the time that an imperial doctor is on duty in a day. The old general made outstanding achievements on the battlefield in his early years, participated in an important step in the founding of the Southern Zhao Dynasty, and recurred from his old wounds. One of the nine doctors sent by the emperor is a full-time cooker, and in the past few days, there are actually only five imperial doctors in the Imperial Doctor Bureau.
Of course, the emperor also knew that the daily workload of the Taiyi Bureau had almost doubled due to the excessive downsizing of personnel, so a decree had been issued a long time ago. Even if the imperial relatives are transferred to the imperial doctor, they can only go to one person at a time, and there is no hard limit on the number of companions of the students.
In fact, the emperor would draw up such a will, not only in order to reduce the burden on the Imperial Medical Bureau. For most diseases, these doctors who can be promoted to the rank of nine doctors are enough to deal with it alone, and there is no need for multiple medical consultations. In addition, for ordinary cases, if there are a few more doctors involved in the treatment, there may be differences of opinion that are not beneficial to the treatment.
The nobles who lived in the orderly and stable Kyoto were sick for nothing more than that-for this, even the imperial doctors had their own records, and they were often invited to go by a certain prefecture as if they were in a hurry, and the causes and doctors prescribed were actually the same old as if they were in a certain prefecture -- and not everyone was like the one who played with fire three years ago, who was obviously extremely calm, but at the slightest move, he put his life in half of it.
Today, in order to diagnose and treat the second prince who lives in the palace, the three imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau were mobilized at once, and almost all the main doctors in the bureau were consumed, not only because His Royal Highness's condition had indeed changed quite severely, but also because two of these three people had been involved in the diagnosis of His Royal Highness before this. For the sudden aggravation of His Highness's injuries, these two people cannot escape their responsibilities.
But to be specific, there should be a third person like the imperial doctor who can't escape his responsibilities like these two, and it is likely that he will bear the heaviest responsibility for this, but he didn't come over.
The imperial doctors in the Nine Doctors of the Taiyi Bureau are roughly the same, and if you want to say the difference, the main reason is that the field of expertise is slightly offset. For example, these doctors have all learned the ability of silver acupuncture points, but if you want to say that the real master, it is also a Chinese physician whose ancestors have specialized in the knowledge of meridians and acupoints in the human body for five generations. And if you want to talk about the use of herbs in medicine, Doctor Hua is difficult to compare with the imperial doctor surnamed Chen who added "monkey grass" to gold sore medicine.
The method of adding "monkey grass" to the gold sore medicine has saved the lives of many soldiers. "Monkey Grass" does have an excellent effect on accelerating the healing of trauma, and the faster the wound heals, the more you can avoid the danger of injury deterioration.
As for the adverse effect of this herb on causing human body heat, how can the soldiers on the battlefield have so much consideration, and the soldiers with strong physiques can directly ignore this discomfort.
The words of the imperial doctor who was invited to Huayang Palace last night could not be regarded as interceding for Imperial Doctor Chen, and the safety of using "Monkey Pucao" was not allowed. It is true that it has been indirectly tested with the bodies of thousands of soldiers, and there has been no problem. As for how there was a problem with the use of the second prince, the root of the problem should not be on the medicine, but in the negligence of Imperial Doctor Chen.
Yesterday evening, he should have considered that this prince's physique was too weak, and he had to be cautious about using drugs that were slightly more irritating to his body. He missed this, not only because most of his attention was on the emperor at that time, but also because he had not considered the slightest risk of "monkey grass" for a long time.
For pharmacology, each effect has its own considerations. The law of existence cannot be denied because of man's forgetfulness. And for the sake of this little bit can be ignored pharmacology. Imperial Doctor Chen may not be able to escape responsibility.
But I'm afraid only the second prince knows it in his heart. What is the real reason why his injury got worse overnight.
From a big point of view, Imperial Doctor Chen and "Monkey Pucao" are innocent.
※※※※※※
Except for Imperial Doctor Zhao, who had been mainly responsible for treating the sword wound on the second prince's hand a few days ago, and the Imperial Doctor Feng who came last night. The third one who came with him was the Hua Imperial Doctor, who was good at acupuncture.
Hua Shixian shared more than a dozen thin silver needles to puncture, and the needle application time was a little long. The two palace maids standing at the door from a distance quietly glanced at each other, and saw that the prince was still lying on the couch in a coma, with so many sharp needles standing on his back, which made the palace maid look frightened and frightened.
The palace maids only thought it was an embroidery needle, and each one was as painful as a thorn in their fingertips, and their hearts felt a pang of guilt. His Royal Highness the prince suffered this kind of suffering, most likely because they did not serve well. They have the leniency that their masters usually treat them, and after this incident. I don't know what kind of punishment will come.
Imperial Doctor Zhao and Imperial Doctor Chen, who were standing in front of the couch, had both learned the art of silver needle acupuncture, although they were not as proficient in this way as Hua Shixian, but with the essentials of this kind of medical skill they mastered, of course, they knew that the silver needle accurately pierced the acupoint, and there would not be any obvious pain. It's after some injections. The acupuncture array began to work, mobilizing the body's qi and blood, and at that time, whether it was comfortable or painful, it was really going to be revealed.
So although they didn't think like those palace maids, and they wouldn't feel terrible because of a few more stitches on the prince's back, but when Hua Shi finished his idle stitches, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
When he pulled out the last three silver needles, Hua Shixian's hand paused slightly, he looked sideways at the two colleagues with slightly condensed eyes, and asked hesitantly: "Wangwen and Ask are one, do you need to inquire about the matters of the Second Highness?"
The two imperial physicians, Zhao and Feng, were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then Imperial Physician Feng asked quickly: "What, what does Doctor Hua mean is that whether His Royal Highness is awake or not at this time is under your control?"
There was actually no malice in Imperial Doctor Feng's words, with his many years of experience in working with Hua Shixian, Hua Shixian said this at this time, which was indeed easy for him to understand.
"I have already crossed the acupoint with a silver needle to force the qi and blood meridians, and the high fever on the body of the Second Highness has gradually subsided. After that, if you carefully regulate it with a decoction, this body temperature can be stabilized. Hua Shixian sighed when he said this, and then continued: "His Royal Highness has been burning all night, although he is lying down, he is actually in pain all the time, and he cannot be regarded as resting. At this time, this hot heat is suppressed, so that you can have a moment of real leisure, and it is of course best not to disturb him at this time. But...... Looking at this matter from my experience in diagnosis, I always feel that there is something strange about His Second Highness's illness, so I think you should ask him so that you can not delay the accurate preparation of the decoction. ”
Imperial Doctor Zhao, who had been mainly silent since entering Huayang Palace, opened his mouth and asked, "Why did Doctor Hua say this?" What exactly do you think is weird?"
"There was no rain in Kyoto last night, but the soles of His Highness's boots were stained with some fresh mud. Don't be surprised, sometimes it is necessary to understand the daily activities of a patient in order to treat a patient accurately, and it does not depend entirely on medical theories. Hua Shixian paused slightly, and then continued: "Second Highness's injury is aggravated, and at this time, you and I can discuss whether it is the cause of the 'Monkey Pucao', or some other reason."
The two imperial doctors, Zhao and Feng, gradually understood. At this time, Hua Shixian still remembered in his heart that he would try his best to exonerate Imperial Doctor Chen who did not come, or find a reason to reduce his responsibility. The two imperial doctors first expressed their kindness and gratitude to Hua Shixian for this, but they didn't know what they thought of, and soon they became slack again.
Hua Shixian had already said in advance, and it was best for the prince who had just subsided to be disturbed and continue to sleep for a while without being disturbed, but the two of them knew it, but they still had to disturb, and it seemed that this was a bit of a selfish attempt to ignore the patient.
But it's one thing to have such concerns, and Hua Shi's words can also be counted as doctor's orders. For example, the reasons for the aggravation of the prince's injury. If it weren't for the trigger of "monkey grass". It's for some other reason. Next, the details of the two imperial doctors Zhao and Feng may change a little.
There was only a moment of silence, and Imperial Doctor Zhao, who was mainly responsible for treating the second prince's hand injury in the past few days, nodded his head.
If you are more careful on your side, firstly, it is for the sake of the patient's good, and secondly, you may have some suspicion of "monkey grass" after your own diagnosis and treatment. can be put aside with the guilt that Imperial Doctor Chen fell on his head for no reason.
"Monkey Pucao" has really treated many people's injuries, Imperial Doctor Chen is just negligent for a while, and the Taiyi Bureau really can't be short of doctors anymore.
"Your Royal Highness's body has been worn out a lot in the past few days, and your physical strength has been as good as before, please make a long story short." Hua Shixian instructed again, and then turned his gaze back to the silver needle under his hand, and did not see him make any more movements, in fact, he slightly changed the order of taking the needle, and gently took the last three silver needles that were tied to the important acupoints behind the second prince.
After removing the needle. Hua Shi stretched out his fingers and slowly pushed behind the back of the second prince. Soon, the flat inch between the prince's eyebrows wrinkled again, and his eyelids twitched a few times, and he opened his eyes and woke up.
The most likely reason for waking up a sleeping person, in addition to extremely strong noise. And then there's the painful feeling.
After the strange hot temperature on his body subsided, the two sickly red tides on the face of the second prince Wang Hong also faded, leaving only a pale background, he frowned and woke up, and the idiots knew how uncomfortable he would be now.
But when he saw the three imperial doctors around the bed, he suddenly cheered up again, wanting to express his usual respect for those who practice medicine and save people. But he soon found that he had no strength in his body at this time, and he wanted to break up, but in the end he could only maintain a lying position and couldn't move much.
Hua Shixian took the used silver needle and handed it to a student assistant, seeing that the second prince wanted to get up, he beckoned the two palace maids standing at the door to approach, but only helped the second prince to help him turn over. After covering the brocade quilt, he got up from the edge of the couch, stood with the other two imperial doctors, and saluted the prince who was lying on his back on the couch.
"No courtesy." The second prince, Wang Hong, didn't even have the strength to raise his hand at this time, so he could only open his mouth, and his voice was extremely weak.
His pupils turned, and he looked at the people in the inner room of the dormitory in turn, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he said again: "Which slave maid went to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and why did you want to invite three medical officers?"
The two palace maids who had served him just now and were still standing in the corner of the couch heard this, and the delicate hands in front of them couldn't help but clench, and their lips moved, but they wanted to stop talking. What Hua Shixian had just instructed the two medical officers, the two slaves and maids also heard.
It was still Hua Shixian who took a half step forward, signaling that the two palace maids could retreat, and then he bowed to the prince on the couch and explained: "Your Highness's injuries and illnesses tend to suddenly worsen, Wei Chen and the other three medical officers came together, and after some diagnosis and treatment, there are still a few questions I want to ask Your Highness, so that we can choose the medicine more clearly." For this reason, it is necessary to awaken His Highness's exhausted spirit, and ask His Highness for forgiveness. ”
"The Chinese medical officer is dedicated to thinking about the sick, what is the crime." The second prince, Wang Hong, spoke weakly, and his words became shorter, "Ask." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince...... "The first person to inquire was the chief physician Zhao, and he pondered and said, "Did Your Highness go outside last night, so you contracted the cold?"
Hearing this, Wang Hong gradually condensed his gaze, and after calmly looking at Imperial Doctor Zhao for a moment, he said at a very slow pace: "Because of the matter of Your Majesty, this palace did have some insomnia last night. Although I rested early because of physical fatigue, I was always in good spirits. In the middle of the night, Hongu got up and walked outside, thinking that he would be able to fall asleep if he was a little more tired. ”
Sure enough, as Hua Shi expected, Imperial Doctor Zhao thought silently in his heart after listening to the prince's answer. However, it was also because of the speculation that Hua Shixian had expressed, Imperial Doctor Zhao quickly asked again: "Forgive Weichen for being presumptuous." Dare to ask where your Highness has been?"
"Why did Doctor Zhao ask such questions?" Because what he experienced last night had to be kept secret for the time being, when he suddenly heard Imperial Doctor Zhao's inquiry, the prince's face suddenly revealed a trace of displeasure.
The question asked by Imperial Doctor Zhao was too coincidental, and it hit Wang Hong's concerns, so no matter how gentle the tone of voice used when this question was asked, Wang Hong, who was strong in his spirit, would not have much patience to deal with it.
After a pause, the second prince Wang Hong thought of the word "wind and cold" mentioned in Imperial Doctor Zhao's previous words, and vaguely realized a problem, so he made up another sentence to cover up: "Just walk around the rockery in the small garden a few times, can this also be a problem?"
The prince wasn't sure if Imperial Doctor Zhao already knew something. Therefore, his rhetorical question actually has a twofold meaning. As soon as he came to walk around the rockery a few times, he suffered from the wind cold and fell ill, which was really beyond his expectations; The second is temptation: one's own dormitory. Is there anything else that can't be held back in court?
It's just a little bit of a move. Wang Hong suddenly felt a wave of tiredness sweeping over his head like a tidal wave, and before he could hear what the medical officers were asking, his consciousness became uncontrollably blurred, and he fell asleep again.
"Your Highness?" Imperial Doctor Zhao was halfway through his speech. Only then did he suddenly realize that the situation of the prince on the couch was different. After inquiring and making sure that the prince had suddenly fallen asleep, he didn't dare to disturb it any longer, but just let out a long breath of silence.
Hua Shi, who had given the needle to the prince just now, saw this situation, so he whispered: "Your Highness is awake from the spirit, so it is easy to be distracted at any time."
The Imperial Doctor Feng, who had been invited by the palace maid last night, walked to the side of the couch and checked the pulse of the sleeping prince again, and after a moment of silence, he stood up and said to the two colleagues: "There is no doubt that it is the wind and cold. Take the medicine as it is. ”
※※※※※※
Wind chill and fever were discussed by the three imperial doctors before, and at this time, the opinions were once again unanimous. Thinking that this gentle-tempered prince has a virtuous and ruthless mother-in-law, the three imperial doctors can't help but be a little too cautious on this trip to Huayang Palace.
After preparing the medicine, it was handed over to two students to be responsible for decoction. The three imperial doctors walked out of Huayang Palace, and they couldn't help but sigh several times.
Walking in the courtyard of the gentleman planted with pine and bamboo, the palace behind is gradually covered by the shade of pine and bamboo, and in front of the winding path paved with round cobblestones, half of the rockery mentioned by the prince just now gradually appears.
This rockery was built by the defeated monarch of the previous dynasty with a lot of money, although the mountain is artificially shaped, but the essence is a whole stone that is actually moved down from the Tianmai Peak.
There is a record in the archives of the Ministry of Industry of the former dynasty, this whole solid mountain stone weighs more than 10,000 jun, 73 years ago when it was mined from the Tianmai Peak by the craftsmen, because the Tianmai Peak is extremely steep, it does not use the power of cattle and horses, and the whole process is carried by manpower, and the slave labor is used up to 1,000 people.
According to another historian's document, in the process of transporting this huge mountain rock, more than 20 slave laborers died because they stumbled and slipped down the steep rock cliff, and 14 people were disabled. In addition, when quarrying, he was accidentally chiseled through the palm of his hand with a chisel, his fingers were broken by a hammer and disabled, and he was killed by the sun and forced labor on the top of the mountain.
The number of sixty is exactly the length of the years when the last defeated monarch of the previous dynasty ordered the quarrying of stones until the death of the country.
Ironically, according to the records of the previous dynasties, the intention of the deceased monarch to pick this boulder is said to have been the result of the "Asking the Heavens" by the chief official of the Qin Heavenly Prison at that time. It is said that there is this megalith to guard the palace and protect the emperor.
Such a heavy boulder may still be able to be shaken in the slightest in the face of the change of earth cracking, but the monarch of the former dynasty did not have time to punish the chief official of the Qin Heavenly Prison for another heavy survey error.
