Curfew means no going out after dark.
In ancient times, when management capabilities were relatively backward, it was easy for the government to lose control of society at night, so they simply set a rule that no one was allowed to go out after dark.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, curfew policies have been implemented in all dynasties of China, and most of the time they were very strict.
In order to better implement this system, the inner square system was born, which divided the city into small grids and built high square walls. Each inner square was a city within the city that could be closed at any time.
In the Tang Dynasty, this system was pushed to its peak. Not only was the grid more fine-grained, but the "fangs" in residential areas and the "cities" in commercial areas were completely separated. For example, Chang'an City had 108 squares, but only the East Market. There are two commercial districts, Xishi and Xishi, which is probably the origin of the word "shopping". new
However, with the development of society, the curfew system has been loosened since the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
The curfew is conducive to government control and is a good thing for the rulers. In the early Song Dynasty, Taizu Taizong also intended to restore the Tang Dynasty's Fangshi attempt. He once intended to re-plan and build the capital based on the Yongluo system. However, this went against the trend. The approach was ultimately unsuccessful, and later they were simply relaxed, and the curfew system was officially abolished during Renzong's reign.
As a result, many cities that never sleep appeared in the land of China, and unlike in the past, which were only open occasionally during major festivals, big cities like Kaifeng and Tokyo are basically open all year round and are in full swing.
The prosperity of Gusu City is not inferior to that of Lin'an. Although the assassination of King Yan happened, thanks to Zhao Mengqi's comfort and Wanwan's dissuasion from Wu Qian to impose martial law, the people were not affected at all. After dark, it seemed to be even more lively than during the day. The red building is full of guests, and the music and singing are endless.
Thanks to the blessing of "King Huan", the brothel Goulan, in the name of "repaying King Yan's kindness" and celebrating "King Yan's death," entertained guests grandly and opened a carnival that delighted countless men.
In this age where reputation is important, even women in pleasure parties keep their word, and many lucky people have indeed enjoyed free sex.
However, many other men who did not have or disdain free benefits were also aroused with interest and desire, and they generously spent money and actively participated in this event.
To use a poem by Wu Qian to describe it, "I am happy to follow people's wishes, wearing a red dress, hairpins and jade green hairpins, walking through the night market, feasting with pearls and banquets, and the number of Wu's couplets is getting better and better."
The embroidered curtain rolls, scattering colorful fragrance mist, enveloping the reunion brocade. Recognize it, the stars are hanging, and the ladies are in the Taoyuan Cave. "
Among the flowers and the wine, the people who were having fun couldn't help but talk about the assassination.
"Assassinating kings and killing their chariots has been a common practice since ancient times, but it is very rare in our Song Dynasty. I don't know who has dared to openly assassinate His Highness the King of Yan."
"Indeed, there are very few. Except for Renzong's inexplicable assassination in the palace, it seems that Taizu was assassinated when he was out of the palace on inspection. They were all attacked by cold arrows. At that time, Taizu did not panic, but opened his clothes and exposed his chest. He laughed proudly and said, "Teach me how to shoot!"
"Taizu did not conduct a large-scale search and arrest afterwards. His Highness King Yan's response today was very much like Taizu's. It seems that our Song Dynasty will have another hero and revive the decline of more than a hundred years! That is really gratifying and congratulatory. "
"On that occasion of Taizu, the cold arrow was blocked by the canopy. There was no danger, but His Highness Prince Yan's life was really hanging by a thread today. It was extremely dangerous. I was very close at the time and saw the arrow hitting His Highness's heart. If it hadn't been for the side That beautiful young lady sacrificed her life to block it, which consumed the strength of the arrow. Your Highness will definitely be pierced by the arrow and will be doomed."
"That little lady should be the legitimate daughter of the Qian family. With her appearance and family background, coupled with her love for sacrificing her life to save her, she is a perfect Princess Yan, a future saint."
"Tsk, tsk, that's the truth, but it's still unclear whether she can survive. An arrow pierced her body, and even a tough man wouldn't be able to survive it..."
"That's true, but I heard that King Yan is more in love with Lady Jiang and would definitely prefer her to be his wife. If Lady Qian can be safe and sound, our Highness may be in a dilemma..."
"Hahaha, the blessings of this group of people are not that easy to enjoy. It's fitting that King Yan will have a headache."
"Brother, this gloating face is really abominable, but why do I think of King Yan?
His Highness is also a little happy when he is in a dilemma? "
"Hey, taking over the two most beautiful women in the world, which man wouldn't envy and hate them?"
"Do you think His Highness Prince Yan was assassinated because of this?"
"Just kidding, there may be many reasons why King Yan was assassinated, but it was not just love. It is not worth risking the Nine Clans for a woman."
"Oh? Then what's the reason?"
"Well, it could be a fight for the crown prince. The temptation of the throne is enough to drive people crazy. It could also be done by Mongolian spies. It's not unusual for two countries to use any means to fight. It could also be a case of tycoons... uh, it could also be a vendetta or something like that. .”
"Ha, brother, what you said makes sense. In short, His Highness, King Yan, has turned disaster into good fortune. If you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later. Let's not talk about this matter. Come, come, come. Enjoy your life with good times and beautiful scenery. Let's go..."
The people who are most motivated to kill King Yan at the moment are the powerful families who live across the border.
Whether it is the powerful people from Pingjiang and Jiaxing who were defeated by King Yan this time, or the powerful people from other places who responded to King Yan's call and came to buy land parcels, it is actually possible.
In other words, even the powerful people in the world are unwilling to have their interests taken away, and complying with King Yan's reforms is just a helpless move to reduce losses.
In the Song Dynasty, it was basically okay to point fingers at the court and the royal family, but accidentally offending some powerful people could really be fatal, so they would subconsciously avoid talking about it.
Compared to the bustle of the city, the back house of the government office was also brightly lit, but it seemed extremely quiet. People coming and going were tiptoeing to avoid making noise.
Qian Duo's treatment has been going on for more than an hour, but the door of the west wing, which was specially set up as the operating room, is still closed. Through the shadow printed on the window paper, it can be seen that it is busy and busy inside.
Zhao Mengqi's upper body was wrapped in a circle of fine linen and he simply wore a robe. He was sitting in the yard outside the door, eating slowly while paying attention to what was going on in the room.
After he woke up, he was also surprised at his condition. Apart from the itchy wound, he didn't look like an injured person at all.
Originally, Imperial Physician Chong planned to suture his wound, but he thought that Qian Duo should be treated first, and since he was fine for the time being, it didn't matter if he sutured it later.
The wound was okay, but the extreme hunger was unbearable.
At first, considering his injury, they only prepared some light soup, but Zhao Mengqi didn't feel anything after eating it, so he asked for big fish and meat instead, including beef, sheep, chicken and duck, all of them were fried, grilled and cooked. All fried.
He had been eating for nearly half an hour, but his stomach and intestines seemed to be a bottomless pit that could never be filled.
At this time, he also roughly understood the cause of his physical condition.
This body used to be just a medicine jar, so skinny that it would collapse when the wind blew. After he came, it became stronger and stronger, and even had physical strength beyond that of ordinary people.
However, one drawback is that whenever he consumes too much energy, he easily becomes sleepy and has to sleep for a period of time. When he wakes up, his appetite increases dramatically, but his physical fitness is slightly stronger than before.
As his body became stronger and stronger, this kind of sleepiness rarely appeared. The most recent time was after Wujiang defended the city.
Now I didn’t expect that this body has super self-healing ability, werewolf? Or a vampire?
If I could choose, it would be a werewolf. After all, although a vampire is immortal, it would be boring to live a long life without seeing the light of day.
As he was thinking wildly, the door to the west wing opened, and Dr. Chong came out with a tired face and bloodstains all over his body.
Zhao Mengqi dropped the bone stick in his hand and stood up to greet him, "Physician, was the operation successful?"
"It can be considered a success..."
Dr. Chong's voice was hoarse, and he frowned, "The arrow penetrated Madam Qian's blade and passed by the ribs. The arrow did not touch the lungs, but some bone fragments may have penetrated into it, causing some edema. But the problem shouldn't be serious, so I didn't dare to act rashly, there might be hidden dangers. In addition, a larger blood vessel was ruptured, and it was also an artery. When I pulled out the arrow shaft, although it was dealt with in time, there was still a problem.
A large amount of blood loss may not be replenished in a short period of time. Therefore, whether Mrs. Qian can get better and to what extent can only depend on herself and God's will. "
After Dr. Chong explained the situation, he bowed deeply and took the initiative to plead guilty, "This humble minister is incompetent, please punish me."
This meant that although he didn't say it explicitly, Qian Duo's condition was definitely not ideal and the hope of getting better was slim.
"Physician, I know you tried your best, and I can't blame you." Zhao Mengqi was not in the habit of expressing his anger at others, so he helped the physician Chong up. "According to you, Qian Duo's biggest problem now is blood loss?"
"This is the current situation. All other aspects have been dealt with, and no problems have been found for the time being."
From ancient times to the present, doctors’ opinions have always been conservative, and anyone who dares to give a guarantee is either a lunatic or a liar.
Zhao Mengqi thought about it and said, "Then let's do a blood transfusion!"
"Ah? Your Highness, what are you talking about?" Dr. Chong thought he was hearing something. "What is a blood transfusion? Transmitting other people's blood into Madam Qian's blood vessels?"
Zhao Mengqi nodded, "Yes, that's it! Since Qian Duo's situation is not good, we can only take the risk and try this method."
"This? Is this useful? Weichen has never heard of such a treatment." Dr. Chong still couldn't believe it.
Surgery was something that had a history, so it wasn't too difficult for him to accept it, but this so-called blood transfusion was unheard of.
Even around the world, it is only said that during the reign of King Arthur in the sixth century AD, a general was seriously injured and received a blood transfusion using a reed tube, and then survived, but the credibility of this rumor needs to be verified.
It would take four hundred years for the truly recorded blood transfusion therapy to happen. The first time it happened was in dogs, and it took two years before it was used in humans. It was mainly used to treat mental illness, and lamb blood was used... …
In China, it may be that medical treatment is relatively advanced and has certain results in stopping bleeding and replenishing blood, or it may be that cultural concepts naturally resist the use of other people's bodies to treat diseases. Anyway, drinking animal blood is possible, but there is no attempt to use human blood. , or maybe someone did it secretly, but didn't record it.
From the perspective of Zhao Mengqi, a later generation, a large proportion of those who died due to trauma in this era were due to infection and blood loss, so it was not that they were unprepared for this.
However, due to technical reasons, the risk is very high, and there is no time to verify the feasibility. But right now, in order to save Qian Duo, we can only try it.
"Physician, I don't have time to explain to you now. Just do as I say later... Gengzhi, go to my room and bring over the box that Lin'an sent a few days ago."
After Zhao Mengqi finished speaking, he looked at the other guards around him, "I need someone to voluntarily donate the blood in his body!"
In the Chinese concept, the body's hair and skin are received from parents and cannot be damaged easily, let alone blood.
But Wu Qiong and the other guards did not hesitate at all, "As long as His Highness needs it, let alone flesh and blood, I will sacrifice my life without hesitation!"
Zhao Mengqi couldn't tell the blood type by appearance, so he had to randomly select the four strongest people, and Wu Qiong was naturally among them.
"Mr. Lang, there are differences between men and women. Their blood may not be suitable, so let me do it." Wanwan suddenly spoke.
She didn't know what blood type she had, but she mistakenly thought that a suitable donor was needed for blood transfusion. In fact, she mainly felt that Qian Duo did what she wanted to do but failed to do, and it was to save Zhao Mengqi that he was injured. , then he should do something to save her now.
Zhao Mengqi felt that drawing blood was also dangerous, but he saw determination in Wanwan's eyes and understood her thoughts, so he nodded, "Okay, then you will come too. As for whose blood to use, You still have to test it before you know.”
Immediately, Zhao Mengqi led people into the west wing, disinfected with alcohol in the outer hall, and then everyone put on relatively tight "green coats" that had been steamed at high temperatures, and Dr. Chong also changed into a new suit.
Even in this era, it is impossible to truly achieve a sterile environment like that of later generations, but Zhao Mengqi did his best to think of what could be done.
Then he opened the brocade box that Geng Zhi brought over, took out a few small items inside, and placed them on the steamer.
Through a passage composed of two thick curtains, Zhao Mengqi and others entered the inner room.
Zhao Han and Zhao Fei have been waiting here. When they saw them coming in, they couldn't help but wonder, "Fourth brother, why are you here... Duo Niang looks very bad, her face is always pale and blue, Fourth brother, you are the best Yes, there must be a way to make her get better, right?"
Zhao Mengqi habitually wanted to rub Zhao Han's head. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he thought of avoiding contact as much as possible, so he stopped, "Don't worry, she will get better with Fourth Brother here!"
The inner room is lit with many high-quality candles and oil lamps, and many bronze mirrors are placed around it. They are considered shadowless lamps, so they are very bright.
Qian Duo, who was still under anesthesia, was lying on the couch, covered with a thin quilt. Her originally beautiful face was as pale as snow, her lips were purple, her eyes were tightly closed, and her brows were slightly furrowed. It seemed that the coma could not relieve her. It was painful and my breathing was weak.
This situation is really bad and cannot be delayed any longer.
"Let's do a blood test first."
.My medical knowledge is superficial, so please forgive me for any mistakes or omissions.
Also, thank you readers for your support, and thank you "Xiaoping" for the reward.
The separation between the two words is helpless, because harmony,,,
