"Don't squeeze in the back!"

"Keep all in one position, whoever rubs back and forth, the master and him are not finished!"

"That's it, don't think we're if we don't bring them!"

Wuying Palace, as the power center of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally handled the government affairs palace, but at this moment, it was crowded, hundreds of people lined up, waiting to come forward.

In the hall, Zhu Di sat behind the dragon case, with a chair in front of him.

Those in line included soldiers, officials, and eunuchs.

When they lined up in front of Zhu Di, Wang Yan next to them would beckon them to sit down, stretch out his hand in front of Zhu Di, and he would personally check the pulse of these eunuchs, officials and soldiers.

"Your Majesty, the slave has a stuffy nose and runny nose, and she also sneezes, coughs, and has a sore throat."

"Hmm...... You are evil and upright, I will prescribe you a mulberry chrysanthemum drink. ”

As the emperor who went on the horse to kill the enemy and dismounted to rule the country, it was not easy for Zhu Di to understand music, and at this moment he was incarnated as an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he was not smiling to diagnose the pulse of these palace officials and slaves.

The patient who passed through his hand would walk aside, and then the imperial doctor of Tai Hospital and the doctor of Yingtian Hospital would check the pulse successively, confirm that it was correct, and then let it go.

If Zhu Di misdiagnosed, then they saluted respectfully, asked Zhu Di to diagnose the pulse again, and told Zhu Di the difference between the two pulses.

Taught by two of the world's top doctors, Zhu Di gradually mastered the trick.

This is the first time that the officials and soldiers of the outer court have seen the emperor diagnose people's pulses, but even if they have never seen it, they can feel that he has put a lot of effort into Zhu Di.

In other words, the first place where he first diagnosed the pulse was not in the outer court, but in the inner court.

"His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ......"

When Zhu Di was busy diagnosing his pulse, hurried footsteps and surprised singing sounded, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and walked into the Wuying Palace, and came to Zhu Di's dragon case with a fierce momentum.

Zhu Di was just about to greet him, but he didn't want Zhu Gaoxu to ask directly: "What's wrong with my mother?" ”

"Your mother? She's fine. Zhu Di replied in surprise, I have to say that he pretends to be very similar, but in the face of Zhu Gaoxu, who knows this history, his acting skills are very clumsy.

"Except for my mother, I can't think of anyone who is worthy of my father's personal learning of medicine."

He looked at Zhu Di directly, Zhu Di stopped talking when he heard what he said, and finally sighed: "Your mother suffers from milk rock ......"

"Milky Rock?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at the doctor from Yingtian Hospital who got up on the side.

The doctor also knew that His Royal Highness would ask, so he explained: "The milk rock, high at the top and deep at the bottom, is like a cave, and the bones are tired, cracked like a blind eye, which is green, and the head is clustered, each showing a tongue, the poisonous root is deeply hidden, and the hole is perforated, and the men are more likely to occur in the abdomen, and the women are more likely to be in the breast...... Also known as cancer. ”

The doctor's words made Zhu Gaoxu's heart sink to the bottom, he only knew that Empress Xu died early, but he didn't expect that Empress Xu was suffering from this disease.

This was the first time he had heard of the condition of "cancer", and he didn't know what the difference was between it and cancer in later generations, so he nervously asked, "What is the cause?" ”

"Milk rock is mostly caused by depression and anger hurting the liver, thinking hurts the spleen, so that qi stagnation and phlegm condensation. Or Chong Ren's second meridian is out of balance, and qi stagnation and blood coagulation are born. The doctor replied respectfully, but Zhu Gaoxu couldn't sit still at all after hearing it.

These descriptions are the same as the causes of breast cancer in later generations, so doesn't that mean that breast rock is breast cancer?

Zhu Gaoxu only felt that the blood rushed to his brain, but he still forced himself to ask calmly: "Can it be cured?" ”

His tone was a little heavy, and everyone around him could hear it, but the doctor replied nervously: "There are two treatments, one is the traditional internal medicine method, taking the Divine Effect Kulou San, or Milk Rock Fang, or Xi Huang Pill, or Xi Huang Pill and Heru Tang Jiawei alternately in the morning and evening. ”

"The other way is that you taught us the surgical method...... Amputate. ”

"Bastard!" Hearing that the knife was going to be used, Zhu Di scolded loudly, and the doctor quickly closed his mouth, obviously mentioning this method to Zhu Di a long time ago.

"My mother's breast cancer, is it early, middle, or advanced?" While taking a deep breath and asking, Zhu Gaoxu did not forget to add: "Does the hospital have other successful cases?" ”

"Judging from the report of the female doctor's illness, it should be between the early and middle stages, and if you don't interfere, it will fester, and it will fester, and finally ......."

The doctor didn't dare to say the latter words, but everyone knew what they meant.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, the doctor continued: "The four hospitals in Jilin, Yingtian, Shenyang, and Liaoyang have treated breast cancer, stomach cancer, eye cancer and other diseases, most of which use traditional treatment methods, and only a few times are surgical methods for advanced use, but the effect is not obvious, and most of the patients have not survived for a year after surgery. ”

Cancer, even in its early stages, is a serious overweight for the medical conditions at this time.

Perhaps because of this, Zhu Di taught himself medical skills, because he didn't believe that his sister Xu would die of breast cancer.

"How long can my mother live with conservative treatment?"

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, I don't know how many times he walked into the Wuying Hall and took a deep breath.

"If the cancer cells of breast cancer have not spread, they can live for about five to ten years, and of course there are longer, but doctors in hospitals in Jilin and other places have only heard about it, but they have never seen it with their own eyes."

"Five to ten years ......" Hearing this sentence, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but recall the scene of the exchange of letters between himself and Empress Xu in his early years.

He admitted that he had been avoiding Empress Xu and avoiding the two of them from meeting alone, because he was worried that Empress Xu would find out that he was not the former Zhu Gaoxu.

It's just that after so many years of getting along, no matter how much he avoids it, Queen Xu always exists in her life.

She is now not only the mother of her predecessor, but also her own mother in this world.

As a son, how can he watch his mother die......

"With traditional treatment first, and then expedited the construction of the Cochin Hospital in Thang Long City, Annam, you know what to do."

Zhu Gaoxu stared at the doctor, and the doctor raised his hand when he heard this: "The minister is clear." ”

"Go ahead and do it." Zhu Gaoxu turned around, looked at Zhu Di and instructed the doctor.

Soon, the doctor got up and walked out of the Wuying Palace, and Zhu Di also looked at Zhu Gaoxu worriedly: "What's the use of you letting him go to Jiaozhi to open a hospital?" ”

"There are men and women, and if there are barbarians with breast cancer, they can be treated with surgery to increase the doctor's experience in breast cancer surgery."

Zhu Gaoxu said, Zhu Di was silent for a moment, not knowing if this method was useful, but it was better than no hope.

"Let's all step down first."

Wang Yan saw that something was wrong with the father and son, and immediately dismissed the officials and eunuchs in the palace who were waiting to see a doctor.

It's just that their departure also took away the fact that Queen Xu suffered from breast cancer.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu didn't have the heart to intercept the news, because they both knew that the news couldn't be stopped.

After everyone left, Zhu Di sat back in his place.

He lowered his head, and he lost the heart of the other day to conquer Tatar in the north.

"The matter of the Northern Expedition to Tatar, let it go a little."

After a while, Zhu Di slowly spoke, but the content made Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Yan feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Di's willingness to shelve the matter of the northern expedition to Tatar is enough to show what the situation of Empress Xu is now.

"I'm going to see my mother." Zhu Gaoxu turned around to leave, but Zhu Di didn't stop him.

It was only after he left that the team inside and outside the Wuying Hall lined up again.

Even though there is a double affirmation of the imperial doctor and the doctor, Zhu Di still does not believe that breast cancer is incurable.

Zhu Gaoxu went to the Qianqing Palace, and when he walked into the palace, Empress Xu was sitting quietly on a chair in the hall, holding an embroidery needle in her hand, slowly embroidering.

There was a faint aroma in the hall, but there was still a smell of medicine that could not be dispersed.

"Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"

Empress Xu raised her head and chuckled at Zhu Gaoxu, her smile was very kind.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, walked to the chair next to her and sat down.

At this moment, her fingertips move quickly between the needles and threads, and the embroidery needles shuttle across the cloth, stitching and threading, outlining delicate flower patterns.

Her eyes are bright and bright, like a clear spring, she doesn't look like the cancer patient Zhu Gaochu saw in film and television dramas, but the lingering smell of medicine has been reminding Zhu Gaochu that she is fighting cancer at the moment.

The room was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of embroidery needles passing through the cloth could be heard, Empress Xu was silent, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what to say.

He only felt like he was being pressed by something, heavy.

He stared at Empress Xu like this, as if he wanted to engrave every look of her in his mind and preserve it forever.

After a while, Empress Xu put down the embroidery needle, raised her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you say a word when you came?" ”

"Mother......" Zhu Gaoxu wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips.

"Go back and rest, don't worry too much about me."

She smiled kindly, and at the same time fiddled with the embroidery on her hand: "This embroidery is good, my mother has embroidered several kinds, it should be enough for the two children in your East Palace who have not yet given birth." ”

Her words made Zhu Gaoxu's heart feel more uncomfortable, but he also knew that Empress Xu didn't want to see him sad now, so he barely squeezed out a smile and said:

"The eldest brother gave me a few days ago, saying that the music class I trained him was very good, he is very comfortable now, there are many Jianghuai cuisine and Jiangnan cuisine cooks in Kunming, he can eat big fish and meat every day, without his father's chatter, even the food is much more fragrant."

"The eldest brother also said, let me say hello to your mother on his behalf, saying that he misses you very much, and the third child is the same."

Zhu Gaoxu said without saying a word, and Queen Xu looked at him with a smile like this.

After he finished speaking, Queen Xu smiled and said: "What my mother is most worried about is the problem of the three brothers, I don't worry about the third brother, I am mainly worried that you will not like the boss, or if you grow up in the future, you will not like him as an uncle." ”

"You have to protect him in the future, try not to let him be wronged, but don't indulge him either, so as not to ruin your reputation."

She seemed to be explaining something, and maybe she also knew that she had an incurable disease.

Although doctors and royal physicians say she has five to ten years to live, she knows her own body.

"You can recuperate in peace, I will find a way."

Zhu Gaoxu's nose was sour, and while comforting Queen Xu, he also got up and made a gesture to leave.

"If you don't cheer up, my dad will probably be even more depressed."

"That's right." Empress Xu smiled and nodded, and then watched Zhu Gaoxu leave the Qianqing Palace.

Leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Chunhe Palace, but he couldn't mention the mood to deal with government affairs.

The ministers of the six ministries and six prefectures asked to see each other, but they were all prevaricated by him because they were not feeling well.

Not only him, but even Zhu Di is like this.

The attitude of the father and son made the ministers notice that something was wrong, and after they inquired about the news, they understood the reason, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Empress Xu, like Empress Ma, is very sympathetic to her ministers, and often routinely persuades Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu.

For Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, the ministers may be angry and afraid, but for Queen Xu, they all admire it very much.

Not long after the news spread, Xu Huizu, Xu Yingxu, Xu Zengshou and others entered the palace to see Zhu Di, and went to the Qianqing Palace under the guidance of Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaoxu did not participate in this process, he just sat in the Chunhe Palace, and simply glanced at the music that Yisha dealt with, and lost the heart to deal with it himself.

Although it was a family matter, for him, it was more uncomfortable than the defeat of the imperial court and the failure of the implementation of the new policy.

Time passed little by little, and in the next few months, Zhu Di taught himself medical skills, and Zhu Gaoxu often ran to Jiming Temple.

Those who once trusted medical officers began to teach themselves the art of medicine, but those who did not believe in ghosts and gods began to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha.

The changes in the father and son were seen by the ministers, but no one dared to make trouble.

The anger of this father and son is visible to the naked eye, and whoever dares to anger them at this time is probably not as simple as recalling.

Because of Empress Xu's illness, the temples in the capital began to become depressed.

In contrast, it is Sichuan in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River that has ushered in a vitality.

In May, after more than five months of trekking, students from outside the Guanxi began to enter Sichuan one after another, and Jianyi, who had prepared early, prepared some translations for them without any background.

Although Liaodong speaks the official dialect, the promotion of the official dialect in Sichuan has not achieved much success before, and only a few people can speak the official dialect proficiently.

In terms of language alone, the problem in Sichuan is much bigger than in Yunnan, after all, Yunnan is at least dominated by Jianghuai military households, although the Jianghuai accent is heavier, but students outside the border can also understand it, but Sichuan is not good.

At this time, the Sichuan dialect was not like the southwestern official dialect of later generations, but the Sichuan dialect with a stronger accent and many words of the official dialect of the two Song Dynasty.

As 30,000 students entered Sichuan via the Yangtze River, Jialing River, and Minjiang River, Jian Yi, as the political envoy of Sichuan, also began drastic reforms.

First of all, it launched conscription and began to build official schools in the 15 prefectures, 12 prefecture halls, 22 government offices and 126 counties.

Not long after the government posted the notice, the people spontaneously came to the county government with tools, emptied the site according to the instructions of the county government, dug the foundation, and built the official school with concrete under the command of the craftsmen.

In July, 700 government schools in Sichuan sprung up, and the county government only paid for materials to build the official schools.

At the beginning of August, 30,000 students from outside the border who had gathered in Chengdu began to travel to the county capitals under the escort of officers and soldiers.

Some of them served as officials, and some served as teachers, but most of them still served as teachers, reaching more than 16,000, and the remaining more than 14,000 were serving as officials.

In September, when winter began to begin in Sichuan, the government's notice was posted, and the officials who arrived outside the customs began to explain the content of the new policy to the people.

First, the miscellaneous items in Sichuan were abolished, and the commercial tax and land tax were paid according to the ten taxes, and private fighting was not allowed to be used, and the people were not exploited.

Second, starting in September, government schools in various localities will accept student registration, and priority will be given to children over 10 years old and under 15 years old.

Children who enter school do not need to pay tuition, but they need to pay 40 wen for books, and each family prepares paper, pen, ink, and ink.

The whole family needs to report the household registration situation and the cultivated land under their command to the officials in the county, town and village, so that they can measure and check, and finally report to the county government to issue the household registration book.

Third, the rich squires who conceal the acres of land, deceive the county government, and change the household level need to report in a timely manner, re-measure the cultivated land, redefine the upper, middle and lower household classes, and within five years of Yongle, if they exceed the time limit and conceal the report, after being verified by the officials, the acres of land will be confiscated and distributed equally to the people who have household registration books.

Fourth, people who report and conceal acres, deceive the county government, and change their household registration without authorization can get an additional 30% of the cultivated land of the reported person.

Fifth, the government is not allowed to conscript the people to serve in other places, and all conscripts can only be conscripted in their own villages and regions, and the government will pay back wages if they exceed.

Sixth, those who resist the payment of taxes and grains shall have the right to ......

When the content of the 12 new policies was conveyed to the ears of the people through the explanations of the new officials, both the common people and the wealthy felt that the government was turning a corner to collect more taxes, and there were few responders.

However, with the start of the expropriation of land in September, when the officials who arrived in various places began to use the official fighting of the imperial court to collect grain, and there was no bad habit of "drenching the tip and kicking the fire" in the past, some bold people began to take the initiative to ask the officials to measure the acres of land and liquidate the household registration.

During this period, the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan capital had been following the officials in the countryside, so that many rich squires who gritted their teeth against them did not dare to move.

Seeing that time was passing little by little, some rich peasants and small landlords with no background also began to take the initiative to accept statistics, and the data of the "Yellow Book" and "Fish Scale Atlas" of the Sichuan Political Envoy Department began to change.

The once unbusy Sichuan political envoy of Chengdu Prefecture has now become busy, and the corrected "Yellow Book" and "Fish Scale Atlas" have arrived one after another, and the sound of the hooves of fast horses has not stopped from early morning to dusk.

Obviously, it was already the lunar month, but everyone in the yamen of the political envoy couldn't take a break, and worked overtime to change the past "Yellow Book" and "Fish Scale Atlas".

Sitting in front of the desk, Jian Yi held the "Yellow Book" and "Fish Scale Atlas" of Chengdu Mansion, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Although I expected that Sichuan's documents would not match the reality, I really didn't expect that the difference would be so big."

In the dim candlelight, Jian Yi laboriously looked at the book in his hand, and in the middle hall of his study, there were more than a dozen officials in their early twenties and wearing silk robes.

A servant walked into the study with the booklet that everyone had just sorted out, and happened to see Jian Yi's sigh.

After all, he had just graduated and was a teenager, so the officials said openly: "With such a big difference, the court should execute all the previous officials and rich households." ”

"That's a big deal." Jian Yi chuckled, he knew the ways of officialdom well, and knew that if he beat everyone to death with a stick, it would only provoke their resistance.

For the Ming Dynasty, population is extremely important, and Sichuan is a place where there is an urgent shortage of population.

"According to this situation, the number of mouths in Sichuan at the moment may not be less than 2.6 million, or even more."

Jian Yi sorted out the six books of Chengdu, Tongchuan, and Jiading Prefectures that had been placed on the table, and calculated the approximate population of Sichuan according to their growth.

However, this situation does not include the area of Guiyang, which is now under the jurisdiction of Sichuan, so Jian Yi rubbed his eyebrows:

"We can't get into Guiyang and the surrounding areas, and the population in the hands of those big and small toasts is probably more than the population of Sichuan, and if we can migrate half of the population to Sichuan, the situation in Sichuan will be greatly improved."

In Jianyi's view, leaving millions of people in the mountains is extremely wasteful and unstable.

Many Tusi rebelled because there was a shortage of food in the walled city, so they had to go down the mountain to plunder.

However, if the Tusi can be eliminated and the local people can be relocated to Sichuan to open up the land for farming, then the living environment of the local people can be improved, and the taxes in Sichuan can also be increased, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

But in front of this move, it is mainly those toasts.

"Why don't you give it to the imperial court and let the imperial court send troops to eradicate the toasts?"

"As long as the Tusi fall and the imperial court provides grain to help the local people open up the wasteland in Sichuan, then they will support the imperial court in a few years."

Xu opened his mouth, and his thoughts were very direct, that is, the people of the Tusi were all people who were deceived by the Tusi.

He was born in the Beishan Jurchens, if it weren't for their leader who took them out of the mountains to join Chen Chang in Andong City, then they might still be living a full and hungry life, and a winter would have taken the lives of countless relatives.

"The southwest is not better than the outside of the customs, and their strength is much stronger than outside the customs."

Jian Yi frowned and explained to the officials, and took out a map of Sichuan, pointed to the area of Guizhou and said: "There are four major toasts in this place, and there are dozens or hundreds of toasts of all sizes under the four major toasts. ”

"If they are integrated, they can completely pull out an army of more than ten or two hundred thousand to fight against the imperial court."

"If it really develops to this extent, then the imperial court will be dragged in the southwest and will not be able to withdraw."

"I heard that a few days ago, the imperial court was preparing to plan a northern expedition, and next year it will go to the West, this kind of juncture, we should not add chaos to the imperial court, we should first find out the hidden households and hidden fields in Sichuan, and divide the household level of the common people and the rich squire."

He persuaded him bitterly, but the official suddenly said: "But what if the imperial court also wants to do something to these four toasts?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jian Yi immediately frowned.

Without waiting for Jian Yi to speak, the official continued: "No matter what, I don't think it hurts for adults to be negligent, after all, His Highness doesn't like to know and not report it. ”

"Good!" Hearing what the official said, Jian Yi was also determined to test the meaning of the above.

Soon, he wrote a note, wrote down the situation in Sichuan, as well as the situation in the area of Guiyang Xuanwei Division, and handed it to the Xu officials after writing, and the Xu officials sent it to Nanjing.
