In the title system of the Yu Kingdom, the emperor's brothers and princes were all granted the title of prince;
The crown prince is the king of the county;
The son of the prince, the one who inherits the throne will be the heir king, the sons will be the princes of the county, and those who advance with kindness will be granted the title of king of the county;
Those who attack the county king or the successor king will be granted the title of Duke.
Li Chenghe, Prince of Changxiang County, was the second son of the late emperor's third brother. He originally held the title of Duke of the County. Because he saved the life of Yu Emperor Li Shun in disguise when he was young, he was promoted to a higher level and was named the county king.
Li Chenghe, Prince of Changxiang County, usually lives in Xingningfang and had no contact with Li Ang before.
If you insist on meeting him once, you have to go back to the Yuan Dynasty, when representatives of the clan and the newly promoted nobles went to the Daming Palace to meet Emperor Yu.
The reason for Li Chenghe's sudden visit was also very simple: to treat an illness.
"Leling has grown up too."
Li Chenghe, who was wearing a purple robe, was thin and had a yellow face. With the support of his guards, he reluctantly sat on the chair and showed a weak and flattering smile to Li Ang, "Please forgive me, Mr. Li Xiaolang, for this sudden visit of this old man. "
"No problem."
Li Ang was not used to talking to clan nobles, so he said bluntly: "Why don't you let me check on your condition first?"
Li Ang is already a well-known little medicine king god throughout the Yu Kingdom.
If it weren't for his status as a disciple of the academy and the order issued by Emperor Yu that 'no idlers should be disturbed at will',
I am afraid that people who come to visit and seek medical advice every day can queue up from the West Market to the East Market.
Since the basics of surgery are still immature, Li Ang is actually unable to perform real major surgeries, so every once in a while, he will take the time to secretly visit Chang'an Hospital.
See what you can do.
"Thank you, Mr. Li Xiaolang."
Changxiang County Prince Li Chenghe nodded and accepted Li Ang's physical examination.
His situation is indeed not optimistic, and can even be said to be extremely bad.
Jaundice, ascites, weight loss...
After a physical examination, Li Ang's face gradually became serious, and the disease was located in the liver.
He used percussion, palpation and scratching and auscultation to listen for clear and dull sounds, determine the upper and lower boundaries of the liver, and measure the upper and lower diameters of the liver.
Then he pointed to Li Chenghe's right ribs and asked, "Does it usually hurt here?"
"Yes. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn't. Just what happened recently. When it hurts, the entire right shoulder and right back hurt like crazy."
Li Chenghe noticed the expression on Li Ang's face and forced a smile, "Li Xiaolangjun, this disease..."
"Let's lie down on the table first."
Li Ang called the guards, moved a long table, and asked Li Chenghe to lie down on the table. He asked him to bend his legs slightly and take a deep breath.
He touched the lower edge of Li Chenghe's right rib.
lumps.
I felt a clear hard lump on my hand.
Li Ang's expression changed slightly, and all kinds of information flashed in his mind.
Mild liver enlargement is common in viral hepatitis and toxic hepatitis;
Moderate enlargement is common in stasis hepatomegaly, extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, bacterial liver abscess, schistosomiasis, etc.;
Severe hepatomegaly is seen in primary or metastatic liver cancer, polycystic liver, etc.
Considering that the liver is hard, there are nodules of different sizes on the surface, liver tenderness and percussion pain, conductive pulses in the liver area, jaundice, spider veins, liver palms, ascites, and substantial weight loss in a short period of time...
Li Ang took half a step back and shook his head heavily, "Sorry."
Cirrhosis, liver cancer.
Cirrhosis is liver dysfunction caused by tissue structure disorder. Even in another world where medicine is highly developed, there is no cure. The only way to detect and prevent the progression of the disease is as early as possible.
And now it has developed to the advanced stage of liver cancer, where the cancer is so enlarged that it cannot be removed...
"Is it..."
Li Chenghe, Prince of Changxiang County, slowly lowered his eyes, and his voice was so soft that it seemed to come from another world, "Doctor Li, what caused this disease? How long do I have left?"
"The most likely cause is excessive drinking, drinking unclean water, or exposure to poisons, etc."
Li Ang said: "As for the time... it may be three months, or it may be half a year."
"That's it."
A bleak smile appeared on Li Chenghe's face, and he slowly stood up from the long table, "I understand, please trouble Li Xiaolang. Three months is still a long time, and I can still arrange some things."
With the help of the guards, he got down to the ground, cupped his hands towards Li Ang, then arranged his clothes and walked out slowly.
Li Leling went out and sent him to the carriage. He looked at the back of the carriage as it drove away with a complicated expression and said softly: "I heard Aye say before that when he was young, Uncle Cheng He was the strongest among the Li family members of his generation. , most suitable for physical training and martial arts.
It was just because his father made some mistakes when he was young that he was not qualified to embark on the path of spiritual practice. "
Li Chenghe's father was the third emperor's brother of the late emperor. After participating in the coup that overthrew the Holy Queen, he developed some thoughts that he shouldn't have, which eventually affected his descendants and made them unable to practice.
"..."
Gu Li'ang remained silent. If he were in another world, he would definitely encourage the other party to be positive and optimistic, and use all methods to delay the disease and improve the quality of life.
But there is no immune ribonucleic acid, interferon, interleukin-2, thymosin, radiotherapy, or chemical drug treatment.
You are just deceiving yourself and others by saying those things.
It is better to tell the truth and let the other person fulfill his wish to take good care of his family in the last stage of his life.
Li Ang waved his hand with some disappointment and returned to the mansion.
Li Leling packed her things for a while and hurried back to the Daming Palace to deliver the news to her father and mother.
The lively atmosphere of the past few days has dissipated, and only Chai Chai and Li Ang are left for dinner.
After Chai Chai finished eating, he went to study.
Li Ang sat beside the bed in the bedroom, lost in thought.
Li Chenghe, the king of Changxiang County, will die of cirrhosis and liver cancer caused by excessive drinking, and his age has far exceeded the average life span of the Yu Kingdom.
More people from the Yu Kingdom died of various accidents and illnesses before reaching his age.
Li Ang estimated that even if he served as a doctor after graduating from the academy, he would gather manpower in a planned way to develop Yuguo medicine.
It is absolutely impossible to advance the medicine of Yu State to the level of another world in our lifetime.
Not to mention the level of modern medicine in other worlds, even the level of modern medicine is still far away.
"It's so difficult."
Li Ang stared at the weak candlelight slowly glowing in the oil lamp, his voice was a little bitter, "Polio, filariasis, schistosomiasis, Kashin-Beck disease, leprosy..."
As a disciple of the academy, he can enjoy resources allocated from all over the Yu Kingdom.
He lives in a mansion in Jinchengfang,
The people he dated were either imperial princesses, descendants of nobles, descendants of wealthy merchants, or rising stars in the Ministry of War.
When it's cold, you can write charms to keep warm. When it's hot, you can use cool breeze charms to cool down. The maids and servants will take care of the housework.
Occasionally, if I want to cook and wash dishes, I can do it with my mind, without even a drop of sweat.
Unknowingly, he had become a monk who was "untainted by dust" in the literal sense.
But what about the rest of the world?
I'm afraid only 10% of Yu's 400 million people are living a prosperous life.
The rest are either struggling to make ends meet every day, with no time and no ability to change the status quo.
Or simply live near the poverty line and struggle to survive,
They were even oppressed by bankruptcy, hunger, cold, disease, evil officials, etc.
He thought of the flower-buying girl he saw during the day with a rotten egg on her head.
Under the shadow of the sun, in the corners that you can't see, how many people are still struggling to survive.
Squeak——
The wooden door of the bedroom was gently pushed open, and Chai Chai walked in quietly, standing next to Li Ang, holding his head in his arms, and gently stroking Li Ang's hair with his hands.
The master and servant cuddled against each other, as if they had returned to their time in Zhenzhou.
Time passed little by little, and the Haotian bell rang at night outside the window.
"Master,"
Chai Chai’s voice came from above, “Bad people don’t feel guilty, only good people do.
What you did is good enough. "
"....Um."
Li Ang smelled the familiar smell of Chai Chai, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and smiled at the little maid, "I'm fine, thank you."
"hey-hey."
Chai Chai showed an embarrassed smile and suggested, "Would you like to have some more dinner? I feel like I wasn't full just now."
"Okay. By the way, take this."
Li Ang picked up the special pen and paper on the table, wrote Zhang Yanfu, and handed it to Chai Chai.
Perhaps because Mo Si has evolved to the fourth stage, Li Ang's control over spiritual energy has also improved a lot. The flame talisman he writes is stronger than before, and one can make the fire burn and heat dinner.
"Um."
Chai Chai went to the kitchen to heat dinner with the flame talisman, while Li Ang sat on the edge of the bed. After thinking for a moment, he took out the dark lotus like ink.
This lotus-shaped alien object can detect future misfortune, and theoretically can also detect fatal illnesses.
I wonder if there are similar alienated substances with wider effects in the Dongjun Building of the Academy that can help me promote the development of medicine in the Yu Kingdom...
Just as Li Ang was thinking about it, the petals of the lotus in his hand suddenly closed.
Like a sunflower, pointing east.
