Chapter Thirty-Five Medicines to Treat
Luoyang Palace was originally named Ziwei Palace and was first built in the Sui Dynasty.
During the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, the nominal capital was Chang'an, but Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was mostly in Luoyang, the eastern capital, or went out for a tour.
Yang Guang is a person who loves face. The luxury of the Ziwei Palace in Dongdu is even more than that of the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an. Unfortunately, he eventually lost his country.
Later, Luoyang was once occupied by Wang Shichong, and Ziwei Palace guided the country, and the owner of singing, singing, dancing and dancing was replaced by the Emperor of Zheng. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long and were soon defeated by Li Shimin, the Qin King of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
Xie Yi entered Luoyang Palace and saw a ruin before he walked far away. This scene appeared in the magnificent palace, with a strong sense of incongruity.
This ruin is located in the central area of the palace garden. During the former Sui Dynasty, the Ganyang Hall stood here, which was the main hall of Ziwei Palace. It is similar to the Supreme Hall of the Forbidden City in later generations, but the scale is larger than the Supreme Hall.
After defeating Wang Shichong, King Li Shimin of Qin entered the palace. I don’t know what kind of mentality he said that the Gangan Yang Palace was too extravagant, and then burned it with anger.
After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, Li Shimin regretted his impulsive behavior. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, he issued an edict to send troops to repair the Ganyang Palace in Luoyang Palace in preparation for patrol. Of course, the blame for burning the palace was also attributed to Wang Shichong.
The court officials were talking about this, and Zhang Xuansu, the minister, heard the news and wrote a letter to advise him, "The Tang Dynasty inherited the end of the hundred kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty. If Qu Feng was in trouble, he would be willing to respect him with etiquette. Your Majesty should take his body first... A Fang was formed, the Qin people dispersed; Zhang Hua came to pass, and the Chu people were separated; and Gan Yang passed the merits, and the Sui people disbanded.
If the soldiers in this palace are prosperous, they will be called rebellion... If they follow the old system, it will be the revival of the Sui Dynasty. During the five or six years, they will be dissatisfied and suddenly changed. How can they tell their descendants and spread to the world?
It means that in the early years of the country, everything is in trouble. Your Majesty, you should follow the etiquette system and take the lead in frugality. You also cited the examples of the Qin and Sui dynasties that died after great construction. Your Majesty, you cannot follow the footsteps, and you should set a good example for your descendants.
Zhang Xuansu also listed the difficulties of cutting huge trees from Yuzhang County when the Sui Dynasty built the Ganyang Hall, which cost huge transportation and spared no effort.
Li Shimin was very unhappy at the time and asked Zhang Xuansu: You said I was not as good as Emperor Yang of Sui, how about comparing to Jie and Zhou?
Zhang Xuansu is also a backbone minister who advises him, and is not afraid and speaks out loud. Li Shimin has no choice but to be a wise ruler, how can he sue the minister who advises him directly?
There was no way, and with the advice of other ministers, he found a way to rebuild the Ganyang Palace. He also pretended to give Zhang Xuansu two hundred pieces of colorful silk, and appointed him as the young secretary of the Eastern Palace and the son of the right concubine.
In Xie Yi's opinion, Li Shimin deserves this. Who made him pretend to be too pretentious? A good palace has attracted you to provoke you? I don't know what he was feeling when he saw this ruin now?
Anyway, the Ganyang Palace was never rebuilt throughout Li Shimin's life. It was not until Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, ascended the throne that a Qianyuan Palace was rebuilt on this basis.
Now Li Shimin was unwilling to accept it, so he had to change the Daye Hall behind Ganyang Hall to Zhenguan Hall to comfort himself. Of course, in this process, he gained the reputation of a wise king who was frugal and accepted advice. Perhaps His Majesty Li Er cared more about this!
The Zhenguan Palace behind is a bit similar to the Kunning Palace in the Forbidden City in later generations. It should have been the residence of the queen. However, it seems reasonable that Li Shimin brought his two children to move in. Perhaps it also means commemorating his deceased wife!
Xie Yi followed Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji, his legs trembled slightly, and the palace became wide open. He walked for a long time before he arrived at Zhenguan Palace. It was so hard.
"Go and report to Your Majesty. The young man invited by Duke Chen... the miracle doctor has arrived." Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Hejian, looked at Xie Yi with a sharp look and a little suspiciously. It is difficult for his young face to attract his attention. If Hou Junji had not been swearing, he would never believe that this person is skillful in medical skills.
"Your Majesty summons you, please come in." A moment later, the eunuch came out to pass the order. The weapons on Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji were left outside the hall. The guards stopped Xie Yi without hesitation and pointed at the pink backpack to ask for inspection.
The guards' expressions were a little unnatural, and the package was so strange that they didn't even know how to open it.
Xie Yi was very upset about treating people as thieves or assassins and said angrily: "I'll do it myself... slow down, the medicine inside is the treatment for His Highness King Jin. There are only a few pieces in the world. If it is broken..."
Sure enough, the guard immediately became much gentler. Xie Yi opened the zipper and showed that there was no sharp weapon. As for the medical equipment and medicines, the guard wanted to check it, but Xie Yi refused.
Xie Yi noticed that the guard had a gaze with Li Xiaogong beside him, and it was obvious that he had received the approval of the Prince of Hejian, so Xie Yi was allowed to enter the palace.
A middle-aged man sat on the imperial throne in the main hall, looking a little tired. When he saw everyone coming in, he immediately sat upright.
He is Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin?
It doesn't look very tall and mighty, and it's a little fatter, so it might be called "strong"; it looks average and has nothing special, but its demeanor is indeed extraordinary.
The subtle changes in every move, expression and eyes reveal a very different demeanor. Is this the so-called majesty of the emperor and the aura of domineering kings?
"See Your Majesty!" Li Xiaogong and Hou Jun gathered and bowed.
What should I do? Xie Yi did not understand the court etiquette, but only remembered that it seemed that he could not kneel down during the Tang and Song dynasties, so he painted the gourd and bowed and said, "The grass-roots Xie Yi met His Majesty the Emperor."
As for whether the etiquette is correct or not, it is not enough to deal with it. He is the master whom Li Shimin invited to treat his son, so he naturally should have the style of a master, such as the self-esteem of a noble man and the calmness of a noble man.
Xie Yi lowered his head slightly, not knowing how Li Shimin reacted. After a moment, he only heard a loud voice saying, "Flat!"
"Duke Chen said that you are skilled in medical skills, can you relieve high fever?" Xie Yi looked up and saw Li Shimin staring at him with a hint of force.
Xie Yi said: "Your Majesty, you can't be smart, you just have some medical skills. Some spiritual medicines in Caomin's backpack may help His Highness King Jin to relieve his fever."
Li Shimin said loudly: "Okay, Dongpian Palace, you go and treat Zhinu immediately. If he is cured, I will be rewarded."
Xie Yi was shocked. This subtext is rewarded if cured, but cannot be cured? Forget it, there is no way to reason with the emperor.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, Xie Yi entered the East Partition Hall, and there was a guard behind him, with an obvious purpose of surveillance. If he had any evil actions, he would probably draw his sword to face him immediately.
Alas, when I was in the palace, I couldn’t even guarantee my life safety. I was really powerless to complain.
Li Shimin followed him in, while Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji stood outside waiting, and they were both nervous.
...
On a gorgeous bed, there was an eight or nine-year-old boy lying, covered with a thin brocade quilt, his face was flushed, and he should still have a fever. I don’t know if he was asleep or in a coma, but the boy’s expression was obviously very uncomfortable.
He is the seriously ill King of Jin Li Zhi. He is a young and handsome guy. He looks much better than Li Shimin. It is probably because Empress Changsun is beautiful.
Xie Yi asked: "How long has Your Highness King Jin been in high fever? What is the cause?"
The imperial doctors who were waiting beside each other looked at each other. This was what Duke Chen said about the miracle doctor? He was too young. Can he rejuvenate his life with great skills? This is too...it's too much to be a hit. Although the Yangtze River pushes the old waves, it feels really not very good to be photographed on the beach at once.
Although he was very depressed, His Majesty believed him. What could he do? The imperial doctor had to say truthfully: "Your Highness has been in high fever for more than two days. He had once subsided, but then repeated... it was caused by the cold wind and cold sweat caused by cold wind and paracetamol."
"Okay!" Xie Yi nodded and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I want to treat Your Highness the King of Jin."
"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
Xie Yi wanted to wash his hands, but after seeing dozens of bottles of jade flower brewed in the hall, he changed to wine and washed his hands to disinfect it. At the same time, he smiled knowingly. There was not much celadon wine from Lu Tongyun to Luoyang, and most of them were probably in the palace. Li Erzhen was a rich man!
In front of everyone, Xie Yi touched Li Zhi's forehead first, and did not take a pulse, but took out a bright, silver light from his backpack and placed it under King Jin's armpit.
What is this for?
Xie Yi ignored it. The only thermometer in Datang was not willing to use it last time in the Chenzhou Governor's Mansion. He looked at his pupils, touched his heartbeat, and then opened his mouth to check his throat. Unfortunately, there was no stethoscope to check his lungs.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Xie Yi took out the thermometer from Li Zhi's armpit - 39 degrees!
It was indeed a high fever, which was the result of physical cooling and taking decoctions. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, and Li Zhi might have died prematurely.
Judging from the current situation, it is mainly respiratory infection and may have some signs of pneumonia. Fortunately, the preliminary measures and care are good, which is not very serious.
Li Shimin asked, "How is it?"
"Respiratory tract infection with mild pneumonia."
Well……
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty widened his eyes. Why didn't he understand the disease at all? The imperial doctors also stared at each other with big eyes and looked at each other.
Xie Yi hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness of Jin has a throat, airway and lung disease... I call this disease inflammation. The symptoms are redness, swelling, mild or severe pain, redness and fever... It is the same as trauma and suppuration. In fact, many diseases of people are related to it."
"Oh!" The imperial doctors suddenly realized a little more on their faces, as if they understood, but it still takes time to digest them.
Li Shimin asked bluntly: "Is there a cure method?"
"Yes!" Xie Yi immediately took out the syringe and antibiotics from his backpack. When the guard saw the bright needle tip, he immediately nervously protected Li Shimin, and the sword blade had been unsheathed.
Xie Yi said helplessly: "Don't be nervous. This thing is a medicine vessel, which is to save people, not kill people."
Perhaps when he heard the change in the hall, Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji rushed in. The former was very nervous, while the latter said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is the artifact that day for the children to treat them."
Xie Yi ignored his strange eyes and calmly prepared to redeem the medicine. Before the injection, he had to spend some time and talk about the theory adapted from "Bian Que Meets Cai Huan Gong".
The imperial physicians believed in the letter and said skeptical: "This method has never been heard. His Highness, the nobles of King Jin, should not act randomly, and should be cautious."
These idiots don’t understand the situation at all. What’s the use of trying to save face? If Li Zhi dies, you should be the ones who are buried with you first. I don’t appreciate it if I want to save you?
Xie Yi didn't get angry and asked directly: "Then what are your good solutions?"
The imperial physicians were speechless immediately. Xie Yi turned his gaze to Li Shimin and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, the young man from Duke Chen's mansion has also used this method. Now, you can ask him what is going on."
"The dog is healthy and is healthy now, and is full of vitality." Hou Junji's testimony is obviously very convincing. He also added: "Your Majesty, before using this medicine, he will test the medicine on the patient's forearm and skin. Xie Yi called it a 'skin test' to determine whether it is suitable for Your Highness's constitution. He is very cautious."
The son's condition can no longer be delayed. This is an indisputable fact. Even if he takes risks, he has to try it. The rational Li Shimin pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, but under the big sleeves of the dragon robe, his fists were clenched tightly. It seemed that he had taken a lot of courage to make this decision.
Xie Yi immediately took a skin test, but fortunately Li Zhi was not allergic to antibiotics. Then, in front of everyone, King Li Zhi of Jin was shot on his butt, and then he wiped Li Zhi's body with strong liquor to cool him down.
The medicine has been used, so I just need to wait for the disease to be cured...
