Chapter 85: The Death of Emperor Liao
"Quacks! Quack! In the imperial tent, Yerod Guang was angry every day, and under his scattered head, his face was a little deformed, which was a painful distortion, and he smashed a bag of "ice packs" that had no cold on the ground, his eyes were full of tyranny, and he stared at the two medical officers kneeling in the tent: "Besides this useless water bag, you can't think of any other way?" ”
During this period of time, even Yelu Deguang, who had different medical theories, realized that there was something wrong with his body. Originally, it was just hot and unbearable, he just thought that he was not accustomed to the climate of the Southern Dynasties, and he was not accustomed to the water and soil, but with the passage of time, he was also called a military medical officer for treatment, but unfortunately not only did not get better, but intensified day by day, and when he arrived in Luancheng, Yelu Deguang was already a little exhausted.
The disease of Jerod's light, manifested, is the "disease of cold and heat", which is extremely hot and cold. The medical officers he found were all Hu doctors, and in order to solve the problem of his "internal fire", he mostly adopted the traditional Khitan treatment "ice compress".
Basically, it gathers cold ice between the chest and abdomen, hands and feet, and heart and armpits to cure its fever. However, this practice can cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and can relieve the pain for a while, but it is difficult to eradicate, and it has great side effects. By this time, Jerod's illness had worsened, and it was getting worse at a rapid pace.
In such a situation, Yelu Deguang was naturally furious, while the two Khitan medical officers were a little helpless. The method of "ice compress to reduce fever" is the experience of the Khitan doctors and the common people who have summed up the struggle against this naturally caused fever disease for many years, and it has always been useful, and it is not surprising in the Southern Dynasty......
In the face of Emperor Liao's reprimand, the two medical officers were very frightened and at a loss, only knowing that they had been accused again and again, admitting that they were incompetent.
"Rubbish! What's the use of keeping you? Yelu Deguang's murderous intent was very heavy, his reddened eyes did not blink, and he ordered the guards in a solemn tone: "Pull out the camp gate and behead!" ”
The two medical officers were not given a chance to plead at all, and of course, it was useless to beg for mercy. Soon, the two medical officers were killed.
People were killed, but Yelu Deguang's illness was not alleviated in the slightest, lying on the couch, gradually feeling faint and hot, in order to suppress the high fever of the body, he had to continue to use the useless "ice pack".
Still at the suggestion of an attendant, Yelu Deguang decided to try Chinese medicine. In the army, there were many imperial doctors who were originally in the Biangong Palace, and soon found an old Chinese doctor.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one, the imperial doctor is very old, and at first glance he is the kind of doctor with rich "clinical experience". After hearing about Yerod's light, under the strict supervision of the guards and close ministers, he gave Yerod Guang a few injections, which was actually relieved.
Lying on the Hu bed, Yelu Deguang's "moaning" sound was much more comfortable, there were a few silver needles on his bare back, crazy night sweats on his head and body, he tilted his head and squinted at the imperial doctor who was prescribing medicine to him, and praised in his mouth: "But a few stitches, it has such a miraculous effect, this acupuncture technique, so magical?" Your surname is Wang, right, I must reward you heavily! ”
The old imperial doctor cautiously thanked him, not daring to be careless at all, and before entering the account, he really saw the two pools of blood in front of the imperial camp. The Liao Emperor on the couch is now a tyrannical lord.
While respectfully handing over the prescription to the ministers, the old imperial doctor said to Yelu Deguang: "Your Majesty's fever and illness are all caused by emotional stimulation and poor qi, depression and heat, plus not accustomed to the heat of the Central Plains, and the external feeling of boils, so there is this disease." In front of the medical officer, ice compress was used to reduce fever, which had a slight effect, but the ice poured the muscles and bones, so that the evil qi lurked inside, and the evil had no way out, and the disease lingered. ”
"The old decayed silver needle acupoint, a little relief of its suffering, still need medicine to recuperate. Next, Your Majesty should not think too much, worry, be tired, and be angry, well......" After a slight hesitation, the old imperial doctor glanced at the beautiful maid waiting by the side, and added: "It's best, stay away from women......"
After listening to the old imperial doctor's words, Yelu Deguang directly retorted: "I can listen to you for the rest." Only this woman is inappropriate. ”
Hearing Yelu Deguang's reasoning, the old Chinese medicine doctor was very interested in not speaking, he said those two words more, but he just did his duty and took his life. As for persuading this Liao Emperor, he didn't have such troublesome thoughts.
Carrying the medicine bag, he walked out of the tent, and when he stepped out of the tent, the old imperial doctor breathed a heavy sigh of relief, looked back, showed a little inexplicable color on his face, and shook his head and retreated. Then he went and received the reward, but this time he did not need to go back to the place where he was messy and pickled, but found him a small tent to rest in the nearest place, so that he could be summoned at any time.
On Yelu Deguang's side, after some diagnosis and treatment, the fever gradually resolved, although he still felt that there was heat poison in his body, it was not as difficult as before. The energy is back to its best in recent times.
In the two days after camping in Luancheng, due to the aggravation of his illness, Yelude had to go to the women's sex. But this improved slightly, but Kexin couldn't help but become restless again, he was not duplicitous, he was really as he said in front of the imperial doctor.
......
Especially in the case of fever, the consequences can come quickly and be severe. That night, Yerod suddenly vomited blood and went into shock, passed out a coma, and in a short time, he was dying. was so shocked that the chickens and dogs jumped, and hurriedly invited the old imperial doctor, and after some laborious rescue, he finally pulled Yelu Deguang back from the line of life and death.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that Jerod woke up from his coma. Extremely weak, tilting his head, his dizzy eyes could see a vote of Khitan nobles, ministers, and generals who knelt down from the front of the bed to the tent......
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! When he saw that Jerod had woken up, a group of men stepped forward on their knees, calling excitedly, and showing great loyalty.
The scene was a little chaotic, but it was only under Yelu Ruan's scolding that it quieted down. For the first time, Jerod felt that his body was so weak, and he was so heavy when he moved. It used to be hot, but this time, now it's full of cold feelings, and the seeping coolness continues to invade the skin, and I can't help but shiver.
Looking at this scene in front of the royal couch, Yelu Deguang had a feeling of seeing through everything at this time, and his eyes stayed on Yelu Ruan for a moment. Raised his hand with difficulty, and scolded the ministers coldly: "What are you kneeling here for?" I feel a little sick, and it's a big problem. All of them are for me to retreat and calm the hearts of the army! ”
"Yes!"
The ministers retreated, their expressions varied, and Yelu Ruan and a few people inevitably showed a little strangeness on their faces. Yelu Ruan's heart was a little turbulent, and in the short time that Yelu Deguang was in a coma, he became the backbone of the whole army. He had also asked the imperial doctor, and the emperor's illness was a little difficult.
Everyone knew that Yerod was sick, but no one thought that it would worsen in these short three or two days, and even almost died. It can be said that the illness comes like a mountain.
On Yerod's side, after retiring from the ministers, he could no longer hide his weakness. Although, his sickness and weakness have long been revealed. At this time, Yelu Deguang's face was full of old age, but his eyes were still sharp and terrifying, but he was like a tiger with its fangs removed.
After resting for a long time, until evening, Jerod was strangely better, and his body slowly regained his energy, like a pool of sweet spring poured into the parched earth. But Yerod Light felt a palpitation inexplicably.
Previously, Yelu Li Hu, the emperor's younger brother who stayed in Beijing, sent an envoy to the south to inquire about the matter, but did not reply. Yerod Guang felt something at this time and summoned several courtiers.
"Send an envoy back to Beijing and report to the emperor's brother! Recording! The lamp had been turned on in the tent, and Jerod leaned back on the pillow, and said slowly in a sickly voice:
"At the beginning, 200,000 soldiers descended to Du Chongwei and Zhang Yanze, and went down to Zhenzhou. and into the Bian, depending on the officials and subordinates of the province, when the talent of the person is appointed. Although the subordinates exist, the officials are abolished, and after the chicks fly, there are empty nests. After a long period of chaos, once it is here. Where the thieves are settled, the soil work is endless, and the people are unbearable when the salary is not paid. Hedong has not yet returned to his fate, and the chieftains of the West Road are also attached to the party, and they have been thinking about it all night, and the art of making it is only to push the heart of the bureaucrats, the military situation of the peace association, and the three of the people. Now there are seventy-six places to Shunfan, and the households are one hundred and nineteen hundred and eighteen. Non-Bianzhou is hot, the water and soil are difficult to live in, and it takes a year to stop, and peace can be caused by the palm of your hand. And change the town to Zhongjing, in order to prepare for the tour. If you want to cut down the east of the river, don't try to do it. That's how it goes. ”
"Your Majesty!" After the record, Zhang Li and other courtiers bowed down directly, crying: "Please take care of your body!" ”
Yelu Deguang's reply faintly has a taste of explaining the aftermath. Ignoring the men, he waved his hand and motioned for them to stand down.
Later, when he ate a little food, he vomited it all, and Jerod was a little anorexic. He was ordered to be carried out of the tent, shrunk into a chaise longue, and looked up at the inky night.
It had been a long time since he had admired the night sky so seriously, and the stars came into view, and Jerod's light was scattered, and his eyes gradually became blank.
"Today, what day and month?" Yerod asked suddenly, his voice muffled.
"Back to Your Majesty, April 17." The chamberlain replied.
"That's it for a month. The world is impermanent, and that's it. ”
"At the beginning, I said to Jin Chen, I know everything about China! Now it seems that on the other day, I am afraid that people will laugh at it. ”
"Liu Zhiyuan is lucky, the southern expedition to destroy the Jin, but this person is cheaper! If not, it would not be possible to have today. ”
"I don't know, if I can go back to Beijing, do I want to ......die like my eldest brother?"
He whispered in a voice that no one else could hear, and blew the cold wind, but his mind was not clear, and slowly, Yerod's eyes were closed.
It took a long time for the inner servants to find out that Emperor Liao had collapsed. Just like in history, sudden death, sudden death!
