Chapter 47 The Emperor's Father Contracted an Illness
In Changxin Palace, he sat with Lu Hou for half an hour, and after talking for half an hour, the prince got up and made a statement to Lu Hou and retreated, just walked to the door of the palace, and he passed by in a panic outside the door A small palace person, out of breath, came in breathlessly and reported that it was bad news from the Liyang Palace, the Emperor suddenly contracted a wind disease, and could not speak for a while, and the emperor had already summoned the Qin Imperial Physician and the Song Imperial Physician to rush to the Liyang Palace. And the emperor himself had a lot of things at hand, so he hurriedly dismissed all the ministers who were discussing the government, put on a thick robe and took a few eunuchs and hurried to Liyang Palace.
Hearing that the Emperor Taishang suddenly fell ill, Empress Lu gasped, his face changed greatly, usually the Emperor Taishang's body was tough and healthy, and he often stayed with his old neighbors who moved from Peixian County to play cockfighting, and play games. Empress Lu also went to Liyang Palace once a month ago, worshiped the Emperor Taishang and chatted with him very well, and the Emperor Taishang did not have any signs of illness. Now that he suddenly said that he had a wind disease, Lu Hou felt that it was very sudden. It happened that the prince had not left, so Empress Lu took the prince and hurriedly went to Liyang Palace.
As soon as I entered the Liyang Palace, I saw the eunuchs and palace maids running all over the courtyard to serve tea and water, and none of them dared to slack off. In the hall, before approaching the inner hall, I already felt that the atmosphere was extremely serious, standing in a double row of palace people and eunuchs waiting, from behind the curtain came the sound of the emperor moaning in pain, and quickly walked inside to see that the imperial physician Qin was taking the pulse of the imperial emperor with a solemn face, and the emperor Liu Bang sat in front of the imperial couch with a worried face, his expression was nervous and serious, and the forehead lines were squeezed one by one, and with the change of the expression of the imperial physician Qin, it changed more or less deeply. Imperial Physician Qin finished taking the pulse, put the Emperor's hand firmly on the quilt, and got up with a slightly solemn face, Liu Bang hurriedly asked the Emperor Taishang's condition.
Imperial Physician Qin arched his hand and said, "The Emperor Taishang is infected with wind paralysis, also known as line paralysis, and this disease mostly occurs in the elderly. The wind, cold and dampness are mixed, and they are paralyzed, and the winner of their wind is paralysis. The symptom of wind paralysis is that the skin is painful, and the hands and feet are not followed, so the emperor will cry out for pain. ”
Liu Bang didn't understand medicine, no matter what he did, he just asked the emperor if he could get better. Imperial Physician Qin was not sure, and asked several eunuchs and palace people who served the emperor's diet, what was the emperor's diet in the past three months or even half a year, and what kind of exercise did he have? The palace people answered one by one, the most important thing is that the emperor has eaten very little, is tired, has insomnia and dreams, sometimes feels nauseous, and has had three or four nosebleeds in the past three months. Imperial Physician Qin synthesized these symptoms as a treasure, straightened them out in the abdomen, and then said to Liu Bang, "The Emperor Taishang's righteous qi is weak, the external health is not solid, the viscera is dysfunctional, and the wind is self-generated, resulting in poor flow of qi and blood, paralyzing the meridians of the limbs and joints. The minister will prescribe some medicines to dispel wind and cold, and warm the meridians, which should not be too much of a problem. ”
After hearing this, Emperor Liu Bang exhaled a little relaxed, waved his hand and asked Imperial Doctor Qin to hurry up and prescribe a prescription. Liu Bang hurriedly came to the couch to wipe the cold sweat left by the pain for the gray-haired old father on the couch, took his father's shriveled hand and instructed, "Don't worry, the imperial father, the imperial doctor said that your illness is fine, and the son will ask someone to serve the imperial father well." ”
The Emperor Taishang's cloudy old eyes closed slightly, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open.
Imperial Physician Qin prescribed a good prescription and handed it to Zhan Shi of Liyang Palace, mainly a prescription for living meridians and channels, and instructed Zhan Shi to give the Emperor more food about chrysanthemums, wolfberries, animal liver, etc., to eat less greasy things, eat more light diet, exercise more appropriately, try to keep a happy mood, and keep warm from wind and cold. Liu Bang was afraid that they would forget, so he asked the eunuch to write down the things that Imperial Physician Qin had instructed one by one to prevent mistakes. After Zhan Shi got the prescription, he hurriedly called someone to boil the medicine.
Empress Lu came to the bed, inadvertently and the emperor's eyes met, the two of them were calm and indifferent, there was no more verbal exchange, Liu Bang gave up his position, and Empress Lu knelt in front of the couch to comfort the emperor, "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the daughter-in-law will take care of you." Your favorite grandchild will also go out of his way to take care of you. After speaking, he asked the prince to come over and kneel in front of the emperor's couch, "Grandpa Huang, I'm Ying'er, you'll be fine." The crown prince Liu Ying took the hand of the emperor and patted it gently, bending to give the emperor a clean and innocent smile. The Emperor Taishang was so anxious that he couldn't speak, and his eyes were slightly closed, so as to signal to Empress Lu and the prince, and the prince dragged the quilt up. The emperor's right hand swayed in the air, signaling the palace people to help him both up. Fang stood up, Mrs. Bo came in with Liu Heng in a hurry, and when they met, they first gave the emperor and empress a vegetarian salute, and Empress Lu helped her up. Bo Ji pulled Liu Heng and walked quickly to the Taishang Emperor's bed, greeted the Taishang Emperor with concern, and saw that the Imperial Physician Qin had not left yet, so he anxiously asked the Imperial Physician Qin about the Taishang Emperor's condition, and after getting a good recuperation, he put down the stone hanging in his heart. Liu Heng also knelt on the ground and held the emperor's hand, his voice was slightly immature but very sensible, "Grandpa Huang, I am Liu Heng, Heng'er has taken care of Grandpa Huang for a lifetime." A few tears broke out of the corners of the emperor's eyes, and he couldn't speak, but he moved his hand as hard as he could, and smiled stiffly at the petite and sensible Liu Heng.
Bo Ji was afraid that what he did would be hated by Empress Lu, so he was terrified and immediately glanced at Empress Lu respectfully, and got up and respectfully shook Empress Lu on the spot. Empress Lu replied indifferently. The two of them saluted each other, Liu Ying bowed his hand deeply to Bo Ji on the spot, performed the etiquette of seeing the elders in the next life, and exclaimed, "Liu Ying has seen her mother." Bo Ji hurriedly told the prince to get up quickly. Liu Ying smiled and pulled up Liu Heng, who was kneeling on the ground, dusted off his knees and said, "Brother Heng, you're here." ”
"Brother Liu Heng has seen the prince." Liu Heng hurriedly put aside the hand held by the prince, took three steps back, bowed deeply to Liu Ying respectfully, and made a respectful salute, which made Empress Lu like Liu Heng.
"The son has seen his father." After Liu Heng saluted the prince, he came to Liu Bang and bowed down to make a big salute. The young age, thin body, respectful etiquette, and humble words also made Liu Bang look at Liu Heng differently, and felt that Liu Heng was more quiet and rarely steady, and more intelligent and energetic than the prince. I haven't seen Liu Heng for nearly a month, but I don't know that the fourth son of the emperor is becoming more and more well-behaved and sensible, Liu Bang leaned over and touched Liu Heng's little head with a smile, praising him for understanding etiquette, and then inadvertently met Bo Ji's indifferent and calm eyes, Bo Ji nodded to him, and without waiting for Emperor Liu Bang to return, he shifted his attention to the emperor, making Liu Bang feel more indebted to Bo Ji at this time. Liu Bang knew Bo Ji's heart, so he had no choice but to smile awkwardly.
