Chapter 61: Du Ruhui's Illness
Since the beginning of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Lai Guogong Du Ruhui's health has deteriorated, and he has submitted a resignation letter half a year ago, applying for old age.
Li Shimin sympathized with Du Ruhui and happily approved Du Ruhui's resignation, and every three or two days, he would send a doctor to diagnose Du Ruhui.
It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, after experiencing the hot and cold conversion of summer and autumn, Du Ruhui still fell irrepressibly, and now he can only rely on the prescriptions prescribed by the Tai Hospital and a large number of rare medicinal materials rewarded by Li Shimin, but if he can't be diagnosed and treated in time, maybe he can't survive this winter.
After more than two years of absence, Li Kong's mentality was somewhat emotional, including vicissitudes and helplessness.
But more is happy, the current Chang'an City is more lively than three years ago, the number of people is obviously a lot more, all the way, the bustling figure accompanied by laughter and laughter far away, the Tang Dynasty, which has been quiet for three years, has finally completely entered a period of calm.
Laiguo Mansion, when Li Kong came here, countless people were standing in the courtyard anxiously, among which Fang Xuanling's expression was the most sad, after all, the two met in the weak crown, and then jointly assisted Li Shimin to set the country, and was called 'Fang Mou Du Xuan', not a brother is better than a brother.
At this time, the old friend ran out of oil and the lamp dried up, and Fang Xuanling's mentality can be imagined.
In front of Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin looked at the room in front of him with a heavy face, and several palace ladies ran around in a cold sweat, or boiling medicine, or carrying water, or picking up medicine, and so on.
Seeing this situation, Li Kong knew that if he couldn't survive today, this Tang Lai Guogong would completely pass away.
Taking a deep breath, Li Kong tidied up his clothes, walked in front of Li Shimin, hugged his fists and said: "Cao Min Li Kong, I have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe!" ”
Li Shimin's hand paused, and looked at Li Kong with a slightly complicated face, when he threw Li Kong to Changle County with what Li Kong said, although after more than two years, he no longer had any angry thoughts, but there was an extra emotion called guilt.
Not only did Li Kong help him Li Shimin train a very good prince, but also helped the Tang Dynasty to enrich the treasury, the most important thing is that the condition of the eldest grandson Empress is basically no longer in attack under the prescription prescribed by Li Kong, and her complexion and spirit are several times better than in previous years.
Is Li Kong anti-hearted? In the past, Li Shimin would be suspicious, but now ...... He didn't think so anymore, after all, if Li Kong really had a rebellion, he wished that his Li Shimin's house would be as chaotic as possible.
After a long time, Li Shimin said: "You go in and have a look, try your best...... If you can't do anything......"
Li Shimin didn't say the latter words, but the choked tone made Li Kong's heart shake, of course, this is why he would be willing to help Li Shimin, counting through the history of five thousand years, and Li Shimin is not without an emperor who values love and righteousness, but Li Shimin is definitely the best in this regard.
In a word, with such an emperor, you don't have to worry about when your head will be gone, steadfast!
In response, Li Kong turned around and walked towards the room.
In the room, several imperial doctors were busy, the sweat on their heads had begun to drip down, although they were not members of the royal family in front of them, they knew very well Du Ruhui's status in Li Shimin's heart, if Du Ruhui died, the people in charge of treatment would definitely not be much better, maybe they would die.
Li Kong coughed, interrupting these people's train of thought, and when they saw Li Kong, a trace of doubt appeared in their eyes at the same time.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about Lai Guogong's illness, let's go out!"
Li Kong's words were like a heavenly sound, and several imperial doctors were like amnesty, although I don't know why Li Kong said this, but Li Shimin was standing outside, since the young man in front of him could make Li Shimin agree, he must have extraordinary ability.
And one of the people who knew Li Kong took the lead in walking up to Li Kong, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Li Gongzi, so ...... Next is the son of Lao Li, I'm ashamed! ”
Li Kong smiled and shook his head, and then walked in front of Du Ruhui, which was different from what he saw two years ago, Du Ruhui at this time really meant that he was a little tired of oil, his face was pale, and he was emaciated with dry bones, and it was not an exaggeration to describe him as thin as firewood.
The beard and eyebrows fell out a lot, even the hair on the top of the head began to fall out, the sunken eye sockets were tightly closed, and the unsteady breathing was like it would break at some point.
Stretched out his hand and turned Du Ruhui's hand over, he didn't go to Du Ruhui's pulse, but grabbed his fingertips and looked at it, then opened Du Ruhui's eyes, and finally simply lay down on Du Ruhui's heart and began to listen.
In this way, after a quarter of an hour, Li Kong gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, fortunately, Du Ruhui was just overworked, which caused his heart to be angry, plus someone may have done something to make him angry, and finally all converged to the heart veins, blocking the flow of qi and blood.
In modern parlance, it is a lack of cardiac motility, resulting in a decrease in blood supply, which is commonly known as myocardial infarction.
There is no way to treat this disease in this era, not because the medical means cannot be achieved, but because they cannot find the disease, this disease not only needs to dredge the meridians, but also to improve the blood supply capacity of the heart, compared with the former, the latter is the most important.
Moreover, the current Du Ruhui's heart veins have been dredged by those too medical acupuncture techniques, and only the last bit is left, as long as the blood supply can come up, those blood qi can penetrate the blocked place.
"If only there was a quick-acting heart-saving pill now!" Li Kong muttered to himself in a low voice, and then shook his head with tears and laughter, a little self-deprecating, although the quick-acting heart pill can make Du Ruhui better, but it has a great drawback, that is, the heart will be very fragile in the future, and if you are a little angry, you may collapse the atrium and die directly.
Looking at Du Ruhui lying on the bed, Li Kong stretched out his hand and gently started an irregular massage near Du Ruhui's heart, and said in a low voice: "Although your son and I don't deal with him, and I don't look down on him, you really can't die now, whether it's for Your Majesty or for the entire Tang Dynasty, so, take out your belief in survival, I can help you, it's really not much!" ”
It seemed that after hearing Li Kong's words, Du Ruhui's face became a little red, and as Li Kong's massage speed became faster and faster, his expression began to slowly recover.
This situation lasted for a whole hour, and then Li Kong sat directly on the edge of the bed, glanced at Du Ruhui, who had recovered a little, smiled bitterly, and said: "Fortunately, your desire to survive is quite big, and then you only need me to massage you ten more times, supplemented by cardio-hematopoietic medicine, you should be able to recover slowly, but the so-called illness is like a mountain, if you want to recover completely, you have to recuperate for at least two years......
Du Ruhui moved his hand, although the movement was very subtle, Li Kong still saw it, smiled faintly at Du Ruhui, supported his body that had already lost his strength, and slowly walked outside......
