Gao Pragmatic is now quite allergic to the word princess, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with these two words at all, and he doesn't want to have any relationship.

In his opinion, the little princess wrote love poems the year before last, which is nothing more than that the little girl has never seen any man, and suddenly saw a person who everyone praised, and subconsciously had some good feelings, in fact, this hazy feeling is not love at all, it is better to be regarded as an adolescent impulse.

Besides, if you take 10,000 steps back and say, what's the use of even if it's really love? She is a princess, and she is a person who aspires to be a zaifu, and the political system and pattern of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not tolerate the appearance of a concubine.

Moreover, the princess may be interesting to him, but he has not meant anything about the little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old the year before. Even now, because he hasn't seen him for more than two years, the Zhu Yaoyao in his mind is still the half-grown girl who looks quiet and harmless to people and animals.

If there is any outstanding impression, it is nothing more than that this little girl has very few words.

Other than that, I really can't remember anything.

Zhu Yijun was also a little embarrassed, and he didn't even know what to say, so he walked ahead with a stinky face.

Gao Pragmatic walked behind him with a helpless face, and after a while, he suddenly felt that Zhu Yijun's movements were a little wrong, looked carefully, and suddenly asked out loud: "Your Majesty...... How have you been feeling any lately? ”

Zhu Yijun suddenly froze in front of him, turned his head, and asked, "What?" ”

Gao pragmatic looked at his right leg and asked, "For example, leg disease, foot disease?" ”

Zhu Yijun's face changed slightly, and finally sighed: "That's not to talk about, it's just that when the sky changes, whether it is rainy and sunny, or sunny and rainy, there will be leg pain and even cramps, and there are toes, sometimes they will be swollen...... I often wake up in the middle of the night. ”

Gao was shocked, he remembered that there was a saying in later generations that the bones of Emperor Wanli showed that he had a serious leg disease, so the corpse in the coffin was left leg straight and right leg curled.

Gao Pragmatic had also believed this statement in his previous life, but soon after he crossed over, he knew that this statement was seriously problematic - this pose was posed after death, and the name was "Seven Star Burial".

The regulation of this funeral should be that the top of the head is facing west and the feet are facing east, and the whole is supine, but the position of the limbs is very distinctive.

The head is on its back to the sky; The right arm is bent upward, and the right hand is placed next to the face, holding his cheek; The left arm is bent downward, and the left hand is placed on the lower abdomen, and if you believe in Buddhism, you can also hold a string of prayer beads in your hand, and if you believe in the Tao, you can hold a dust.

The legs are also different, the left leg is normally straight, the right leg is bent outward, and the two feet are facing outward.

This regulation is the "Seven Star Burial", that is, the whole person is in the style of the Big Dipper, and the Wanli bones unearthed in Dingling in later generations are basically this regulation.

In fact, the burial style of the two queens who were buried together in the Dingling Tomb at that time, Empress Xiaojing and Empress Xiaoduan, was not an ordinary supine. Empress Xiaojing was similar to Emperor Wanli, with her lower limbs bent, her left arm bent and drooping, her hands on her waist, and her right arm bent upwards, with her hands next to her head. Empress Xiaoduan's left arm is the same as that of Empress Xiaojing, but her right arm is vertically downward, and her feet are overlapped.

But why is there a difference?

It stands to reason that the three burial postures should be the same, probably because of the bumps in the transportation process after the bodies were placed in the coffin, which led to the difference in posture at the end.

Because it is recorded that the road from the Forbidden City to Dingling was relatively long, the rope carrying the coffin was broken several times, and a corner of the coffin also fell to the ground and there was a bump, so it is not surprising that there are different postures.

From the perspective of regulation alone, Empress Xiaojing's posture should be the original posture, because on the whole, her entire body is like the form of the Big Dipper in the sky.

Why did the emperor and queen of the Ming Dynasty have such a funeral pose?

For later generations, the Big Dipper is nothing more than the most common constellation in the sky of the Northern Hemisphere, the bucket handle points to the North Star, which is very ordinary, and adults teach children to recognize the stars in the sky, many of which start from the Big Dipper.

But in fact, the Big Dipper has always been valued by the Chinese people in ancient times, many ancient Chinese feng shui, celestial phenomena, are closely related to the Big Dipper, and even each star has been given a name, the body is Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, the handle is Yuheng, Kaiyang, Shake Light, the direction and operation of several stars, for the ancients, have a very important symbolic meaning.

What's more, the Big Dipper is also given political significance. The ancients believed that the emperor's residence was facing the Ziwei Star in the sky - this is why the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties was called the "Forbidden City", and the Big Dipper belonged to the Ziwei Star Wall in the star theory, that is, the counterpart of the emperors in the sky, and they lived near the Big Dipper in the sky.

In this case, the emperor and queen should be buried in the shape of the Big Dipper, so that it will be easier for them to walk to the edge of the pole star, and provide a more convenient passage to the emperor in the sky after death.

However, this emphasis seems to have started in the Ming Dynasty. The filial piety mausoleum where Zhu Yuanzhang was buried, although the underground palace was not excavated in later generations, but from the perspective of the above-ground buildings, it is not like the general cemetery is straight and symmetrical, but curved and not in a straight line.

On the one hand, it is to obey the topography of Meihua Mountain and adapt measures to local conditions, but more importantly, the cemetery Shinto is also shaped like the Big Dipper, which is also the only one in China's imperial tombs.

Therefore, it can be seen from the Shinto of Xiaoling that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, paid special attention to the shape of the Big Dipper and built his tomb into a curved shape, so it is not surprising that Wanli, as his descendant, was buried in the burial style of the Big Dipper.

Gao Pragmatic listened to Zhu Yijun's words, and suddenly remembered that when he returned to Beijing last year, Zhu Yijun had a suburban greeting, and Gao Pragmatic found that Zhu Yijun's right leg seemed to be a little weak, but at that time, Gao Pragmatic saw that his walking movements were quite normal, so he didn't care too much.

But now it seems that he really got sick.

Gao was serious and asked, "Your Majesty, the king is sick, and the ministers have to hear it." I don't know what the hospital says? ”

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "I don't understand very well, what is the 'paralysis syndrome', and what is 'damp turbidity', what 'spleen is unhealthy, damp and turbid endogenous', what 'damp and turbid flow injection, then the qi and blood are not smooth, and it becomes paralyzed and painful', a group of people talked about it for a long time, and I didn't understand what was going on." In the end, I was so angry that I slapped the table and asked them, only to say that this was a common disease of emperors and generals since ancient times, and there was no medicine to cure it, so they only advised me to drink less. ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned when he heard it, he didn't understand the terms of traditional Chinese medicine very well, but Zhu Yijun's disease, judging from the performance, he knew what was going on!

It's simple: gout!

The word gout is derived from the Latin Guta, which means a drop of harmful liquid that causes joint damage, and the pain is like a gust of wind, which comes and goes quickly, hence the name gout. In ancient times, gout was more common in emperors and generals, but with the improvement of living standards, gout has long become a common disease in later generations.

In his previous life, his father had this disease, and he had it when he was young, and he often woke up in the middle of the night. Gao Shicheng remembers that when he was a child, he was woken up several times by his father turning on the light, and when he saw that his father's calf and stomach cramped and he was almost out of sight - all of them were pumped near the knee joint.

Even when he was a child, he still remembered an incident of his father, when he was at his grandfather's house, his father had gout cramps one night, and walked with a limp the next day, and a colleague of his grandfather quietly asked: "Your father-in-law's leg is inconvenient?" ”

This matter, until Gao Shishi grew up, often laughed at his father.

It turned out that Zhu Yijun's so-called "foot disease" that was recorded in various history books was actually gout.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that Zhu Yijun suffers from gout. Although there is no way to completely cure gout until later generations, human understanding and control of gout is much more advanced than in ancient times, at least the following factors have a lot to do with gout: obesity, alcohol consumption, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, purines.

Well, Zhu Yijun perfectly accounted for all of the above......

The first four items can basically be visually detected, because Zhu Yijun has begun to gain weight now, although it is not an exaggeration, but he is slightly fat and fat, and he usually does not exercise, so it is estimated that he may continue to be fat in the future.

Needless to say, no one can even restrict him from drinking now - in the Ming Dynasty, he became a Ding at the age of sixteen, and he could drink alcohol when he became a Ding.

As for the diet, not to mention, Gao Pragmatism is Zhu Yijun's companion background, Zhu Yijun in addition to his father Longqing loves to eat donkey intestines and pig intestines, but also under the advice of civil officials, the market experience "frugal diet" - eating all kinds of soy products.

Wonderful, it's all a high-purine diet.

What's so ...... You don't have gout who has gout?

Now that he has figured out the reason, although Gao Pragmatic has no ability to treat this disease, which has not been cured even in the later generations, he has a solution after all, so he immediately said: "The saint has this disease, but the minister understands it." ”

Zhu Yijun's eyes widened in surprise: "You still know medical skills?" How come I don't know? ”

Gao pragmatic waved his hand and said: "It's not that I know medical skills, but I just happen to know what this disease is, when I was in Annan before, the minister once saw a Buddhist missionary - that is, the monk, who knew some medical skills, and talked about this disease with the minister, which was called 'gout' in his country." ”

"Gout?" Zhu Yijun asked, "Is there any cure?" Where is the monk? ”

"The monk travels around, and people are afraid that it is difficult to find, but he said that there is indeed no cure for this disease, but it can be improved in terms of usual diet, work and rest, which can greatly reduce the chance of onset, and can also greatly relieve the pain at the onset of the disease."

Zhu Yijun was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no cure, but when he heard that as long as he usually paid attention to his diet and work and rest, he could be greatly improved, and he suddenly became interested again and asked, "What do you pay attention to?" …… You don't want to say anything like a girl Hatsukui, I don't believe this. ”

Gao pragmatic laughed: "The emperor doesn't believe it, and the ministers don't believe it either." In fact, this method is quite simple, eat less offal and soy products, and then maintain a certain amount of exercise to avoid getting too fat. ”
