Chapter 51: Recurrence of Wind Disease
King Li Tai of Wei never dreamed that the goddess of luck would suddenly favor her.
He was worried about not having an excuse to go to Luoyang to meet the saint, but he didn't expect that God immediately sent a wonderful reason - Li Shimin's recurrence of his wind.
On the tenth day of April, Li Shimin and Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong, Cheng Zhijie and others hunted on Luoyang Mangshan, hunting many wild animals such as tigers, deer, rabbits, etc.
That night, everyone camped at the foot of Mang Mountain for a night banquet, eating wild game and drinking strong wine, and they were very happy. Li Shimin also had fun with the ministers and soldiers, and also ate meat in big mouthfuls and drank happily.
As a result, before dawn the next day, Li Shimin felt uncomfortable, and began to have a headache and his hands and feet were numb. Especially his legs, not to mention riding horses and hunting, it was difficult to walk.
Recurrence of wind!
Without seeing the imperial doctor, Li Shimin himself knew that without any more, he would become a doctor after a long illness.
Wind disease is Li Shimin's old illness. It has been many years and has recurred from time to time. Usually, the body is normal, energetic, and Kong Wu is strong, but once it occurs, it will have abnormal headaches and legs and feet, which will be deeply tortured.
When hunting outside, the wind recurred. Li Xiaogong and others naturally did not dare to neglect and immediately sent Li Shimin back to Luoyang Palace with a carriage. At the same time, we should strictly prevent the leak of news. In a feudal dynasty, the health of the emperor was directly related to the stability of the dynasty, and we would never dare to be careless.
However, the emperor interrupted his hunting and returned to the palace, which would inevitably cause suspicion. At the critical moment, the boss Cheng Zhijie had an idea. He claimed to the public that when His Majesty saw the doe being pregnant, he knew that spring and summer were the time when all beasts were reproductive, and that God had the virtue of living, and could not bear to hurt his life, so he stopped hunting.
Not only did it conceal the abnormality of interrupting hunting, it also demonstrated the emperor's kindness and kindness, which was a killing of two birds with one stone. When the seriously ill Li Shimin heard this, he happily agreed and then lay in the carriage to fight against the illness.
When they returned to Luoyang Palace, the imperial doctors immediately treated the emperor and prescribed prescriptions and boiled medicine for the emperor. They were orderly and skillful in their movements. After all, the emperor had been sick many times, and everyone had become accustomed to it.
The imperial doctors thought that after the emperor took the decoction to calm the mind and remove dampness, he would improve as usual, but the facts did not...
No one expected that Li Shimin's recurrence of this recurrence and his illness was fierce.
Looking at the emperor who was lying on the couch and feeling uncomfortable, the imperial doctors were trembling and had no good prescriptions, and were once again helpless.
King Li Zhi of Jin received the news and brought his sister to visit. When Princess Jinyang saw her father tortured by illness, tears began to flow in Shui Lingling's eyes.
"Hurry, treat your father quickly." The little princess roared.
The imperial doctors were timid and no one dared to speak. Li Zhi glared at the imperial doctor fiercely, then looked at Li Shimin on the hospital bed, and whispered: "Father, why don't you invite the man from Xie County to come and have a look?"
"Yes, Xie County's men are very skilled in medical skills, and maybe they have a way to relieve the pain for Your Majesty." The imperial doctors immediately agreed.
Li Shimin, who was tortured on the sickbed, couldn't help but frown, and after a trace of undetectable doubt flashed through his eyes, he agreed softly.
...
The symptoms of wind disease, wind numbness, hemiplegia, etc. are only recorded in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Yuan An".
Xie Yi was unable to determine which disease belongs to the category of modern medicine and how to treat it symptomatically?
When I arrived outside the Zhenguan Hall, I saw many soldiers standing with swords. Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong, Cheng Zhijie and Zhang Liang were all there, and their expressions were solemn.
It seems that Li Shimin is very sick. It is not surprising that he has such a reaction in an era when the emperor's health is related to peace in the world.
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Men Xie County, Your Majesty's relapse of wind disease, please come and take a look and help discuss the treatment."
"Okay!" Xie Yi, who was completely unsure, walked into the bedroom, first looked at Li Shimin on the sickbed, and then asked the imperial doctor, and breathed a little relieved.
It is difficult to have an accurate definition of what kind of disease is wind disease, but it must be related to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.
Headache is mostly caused by increased skull pressure, poor blood circulation, which leads to paralysis of hands and feet, especially discomfort on both legs.
As for the reason, look at Li Shimin's body shape, you will know that blood pressure and blood lipids will not be low. It seems that there are genetic factors in this disease. Emperor Gaozu Li Yuanyou, and later Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi seemed to suffer from wind and disease in his later years.
I was obviously sick and didn't pay attention to my life. Hunting was a vigorous exercise. I ate high-fat meat at night and drank strong liquor. I heard from the imperial doctor that I also took deer blood...
All are great things, and it is inevitable to get angry. Blood pressure soars overnight, and wind recurs before morning.
The disease comes from the mouth. Why don’t you understand such a simple truth? It’s okay to eat meat and drink wine, but you don’t even have a concubine. When you hunt, you don’t even have an emergency palace maid who relieves fire. You drink deer blood from wool, just asking for trouble.
"Men Xie County, can Your Majesty treat his illness be cured or a symptom-based medicine?"
How could there be so many magic pills? Xie Yi shook his head and pondered for a moment: "But there is a folk remedy that may relieve Your Majesty's pain, or you can try it."
"What is the method?" the imperial doctors asked hurriedly.
"Cook a basin of warm water and let Your Majesty put his hands and feet in warm water; then take ice, wrap it in cloth, and place it on the back of your head, which may relieve symptoms." Xie Yi remembered that he had seen this method on social media in his previous life, and it was worth a try.
Li Shimin on the sickbed pondered a little, and after a trace of undetectable doubt flashed across his eyes, he nodded gently. As long as he did not use medicine or did not use acupuncture, he could try the folk remedy.
At the end of last year, there was an agreement to go to the Eastern Tour, and Luoyang Palace was naturally ready. The ice cellar was filled with ice cubes for summer cooling. Xie Yi gave an order and someone immediately sent ice cubes and warm water.
The palace maid then removed Li Shimin's shoes and socks and put his hands and feet into warm water. Xie Yi ordered people to wrap ice cubes and whispered: "Your Majesty, the ice cubes are cold and you may feel uncomfortable on your scalp. Please bear it."
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and nodded without saying a word. He was accustomed to it. The imperial doctor immediately wrapped the broken ice cubes and placed them on the back of Li Er's head.
Thermal expansion and contraction, the ice cube cools down, the cranial pressure decreases, and the headache can be relieved. Soak your hands and feet in warm water to guide the blood to the limbs, alleviating the symptoms of poor blood flow and paralysis of the limbs.
That's the truth, I hope it can work!
The wait was not long, but it felt like it was as good as the age of years. Li Shimin finally let out a gentle breath, obviously the discomfort was relieved and his mental condition improved for a long time. Fang Xuanling and others were relieved when they saw this.
"Xie County Male...Doctor Xie really has a solution!"
"This method can relieve symptoms, but unfortunately I have no cure..."
The emperor and his ministers were slightly disappointed when they heard Xie Yi's words. Most of them, including Li Shimin himself, hoped to cure the wind disease. The imperial doctor was helpless, and even the doctor Xie, who had a sharp sword and excellent medical skills, was helpless. It seemed that the chronic disease that was difficult to cure.
Xie Yiyouyou said: "But I think... some methods may slow down the frequency of wind dysfunction and reduce its harm, provided that Your Majesty is willing to cooperate."
"Tell me, listen." The symptoms improved, and Li Shimin's mental state improved a lot.
Xie Yi said: "If Your Majesty eats reasonably and combines work and rest, the wind disease will be greatly relieved."
"My diet is very fine, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I think that wind disease is related to the good diet, especially Your Majesty eats more meat, and there are many fats. If this continues, oil accumulates in the blood vessels, causing poor qi and blood, and symptoms of wind disease will appear."
Xie Yi said: "If you reduce meat appropriately, eat more vegetables and vegetarian dishes, and pay attention to proper exercise and rest, it will be of great benefit to the body. In addition, foods such as tiger bones and deer blood are prone to heat up, so you should be careful when eating them and drink alcohol in moderation."
"That's enough?" The imperial doctor was quite puzzled. It's that simple?
"Yes, although this cannot be cured, it can alleviate and reduce the frequency of the disease, which is beneficial to Your Majesty's Dragon Body."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I will follow the doctor's advice and try it."
"Your Majesty, I think you should also remind all the princes. I heard that Emperor Gaozu also has a disease of wind disease, which is a father-son story with Your Majesty. Then all princes may have a chance to suffer from this disease and must be prevented as soon as possible." Xie Yi was certainly not an exaggeration. He was not sure about other princes, but Li Zhi would definitely be and must be prepared.
Li Shimin pondered: "It makes sense, can the princes make such meal arrangements as me?"
Xie Yi said: "In addition to diet, you should also exercise frequently to control your body shape... Relatively speaking, people with fat body tend to suffer from this syndrome, and in severe cases, it may even affect their lifespan."
"So serious?" Li Shimin couldn't help panic. Among his more than ten sons, there were many fat people, including Li Tai, the King of Wei.
"I have no alarmist words. If you don't say anything far away, Your Majesty should remember that Yang Zhao, the former Crown Prince of Yuande of the Sui Dynasty, died young at the age of 23, which is somewhat related to weight loss."
Xie Yi said in a deep voice: "So, I ask Your Majesty and the princes to pay more attention... I am brave enough to make me brave. After all, Your Majesty has some blood relationship with the former Sui royal family, and some diseases have been passed down from generation to generation, so there may be similarities."
Li Shimin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This was right. Emperor Wen of Sui was the younger sister of Dugu, the mother of Li Yuan. In other words, Li Yuan and Yang Guang were cousins, and the Li and Yang families did have such a blood relationship.
The symptoms will have similarities because of this? Being fat can endanger life. Li Shimin had such a sense of crisis for the first time. He instantly thought of his beloved son Li Tai, who has too many similarities with Yang Zhao, the Prince of Yuande of the Sui Dynasty. He is as humble, same gentlemanly demeanor, same fat, and no...
Li Shimin immediately became interested in letting the princes, especially the King of Wei Li Tai, immediately control their diet, exercise diligently, and reduce their physical condition.
In Chang'an, when Li Tai heard his father's wind dying, he immediately applauded.
The father and emperor have a storm. Shouldn’t he visit him and be a minister? He shouldn’t he go to visit him and show his filial piety?
Isn’t this reason enough to go to Luoyang? Li Tai smiled faintly and immediately sent someone to send a profound and touching memorial to Luoyang Palace, and then waited to set off for Dongdu.
By the way, it is best to bring your young son Li Xin with you on this trip. The sick father should be looking forward to family happiness, and the father and son should be able to add a lot of points.
Li Tai had many plans in his mind, but he never expected that in the Luoyang Palace, his beloved father had just prepared a weight loss plan for him...
