"The Emperor coughed up blood and fainted!" This sentence shocked all six cabinet ministers in the main cabinet room.
Everything was fine, why did the emperor cough up blood, and even coughed up blood until he fainted? Although the emperor had complained about his foot ailments and dizziness from time to time before, most of them were thought by the outside court that this was just the emperor trying to be lazy, rather than anything really wrong with him.
To put it bluntly, even foot ailments or dizziness are not serious problems. It is indeed possible for minor illnesses to persist, but death from serious illnesses is unlikely.
Especially after Gao Pingshi had a general understanding of Zhu Yijun's physical condition, he always believed that Zhu Yijun's main problem was that his living and eating habits were not healthy, so he might be suffering from gout.
Gout is indeed a tormenting disease, but it would be an exaggeration to say that it is easy to cause death, especially in the Ming Dynasty. If gout is really fatal... well, the patient may have been tortured to death before the disease itself caused death. .
Later medical science has not reached an absolute conclusion on gout, but it is generally believed that gout is a crystal-related arthropathy caused by the deposition of monosodium urate.
As for symptoms, gout mainly includes symptoms such as acute onset arthritis, tophi formation, chronic arthritis of tophi, urate nephropathy, uric acid urinary tract stones, joint disability, and renal failure.
Zhu Yijun's so-called "foot disease" was actually at the level of arthritis in Gao Jingshi's opinion. It was even much milder than his father's symptoms before Gao Jingshi traveled through time. It was not serious at all.
Because his father also suffered from gout in his previous life, Gao Qingshi knew the triggers of gout, which were mainly eating foods rich in purine.
There is no reliable specific medicine for this disease in later generations, so it is generally recommended to control it by adjusting dietary habits. Generally speaking, it means reducing the consumption of meat, game, seafood, yeast-containing foods and drinks, etc. Of course, another very important thing is to limit drinking.
During the fermentation process, alcohol consumes a large amount of water in the human body and produces a large amount of purine. The more purine content in the human body, the more uric acid is produced by metabolism. At the same time, alcohol stimulates the liver to produce uric acid, which will increase the incidence of gout and the effects of gout. Hazards to the human body.
Gao pragmatically gave these suggestions through Li Shizhen very early, but according to Gao pragmatically's later observations and understanding... Zhu Yijun listened, but not completely.
He did make some adjustments to his diet, but he refused to control his drinking. Not to mention anything else, Gao Pingshi had drank with him several times when he met him alone. And if it weren't for Gao Pragmatic's constant restraint and dissuasion, Zhu Yijun would still want to continue drinking every time.
But in any case, even if Zhu Yijun is a good drinker, given the alcohol concentration in drinks in this era, it is unlikely that he will drink himself to the level of renal failure, which is the most severe form of gout.
After all, this thing is all about science. The alcohol concentration of liquor in the Ming Dynasty can reach 10-18 degrees, which is considered to be highly alcoholic. However, the alcohol content of most imperial wines is not particularly high. According to Gao Pragmatic’s personal estimation, Basically, 8-10 degrees is the main range.
How should I put it? In later generations, this is probably a level slightly higher than that of ordinary beer. For many people who are good drinkers, it is basically equivalent to drinking water. Because of this, many people in this life feel that although Gao Pragmatism is not good at drinking, he is actually a huge drinker - that's not true, after all, he was also a warrior who was tested by alcohol back then.
Since the emperor had not been seriously ill before, the sudden coma with hemoptysis could only be an accident. Connected with the previous series of clues, Gao Pingshi was startled and then subconsciously glanced at Shen Yiguan.
Who knew that it would be fine not to look at it, but when he looked at it, he found that Shen Yiguan was also in a daze, and even opened his mouth slightly, looking very shocked.
acting?
Gao Pragmatic's first reaction was that Shen Yiguan was pretending to be surprised, because based on his current understanding of the situation, only Shen Yiguan had the possibility of assassinating the emperor. Therefore, if there was an accident to the emperor, it could only be due to Shen Yiguan's instigation.
But then, Gao Qingshi immediately realized that something might not be right, because he noticed that Shen Yiguan, who was sitting not far away from him, had fine beads of sweat instantly appearing on his forehead and the tip of his nose.
No matter how powerful Shen Yiguan is, in the end he is only well versed in conspiracies and will never have such performance ability. After all, even if he is a highly pragmatic person, he can only control his emotional expression, facial expressions and some body language, and he will not be able to perform at will even when he sweats.
It seemed that this might really be some kind of accident. Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to give up the urge to immediately trace the source of Shuo Shuo. He stood up suddenly and said to the other elders who were still in shock: "Yuan Fu, colleagues, no matter what happened, It’s all too late now, we must rush to Qianqing Palace immediately to discuss the rest.”
Wang Jiaping woke up and immediately stood up and said: "Yes, yes, what Rixin said is absolutely true. Please follow me and go to Qianqing Palace to visit His Majesty first."
All the ministers stood up one after another and urged Liu Ping to lead the way immediately. Liu Ping was actually more anxious than them and immediately took the lead. As he walked, he told the elders about the previous situation.
According to Liu Ping, everything today seemed normal: the emperor woke up from Yikun Palace in the morning, had breakfast with Concubine Zheng as usual, and then went to the two palaces to pay their respects to the queen mothers respectively.
After paying his respects, since today is the full moon of the emperor's legitimate son, although there is no banquet in the Tian family, there are still some small-scale celebrations in the palace, so the emperor went to Kunning Palace again.
Of course, the celebration did not require the emperor to personally direct and arrange the arrangements, so he chatted with the queen after arriving at Kunning Palace. At this time, the queen said goodbye to her "monthly confinement period", that is, after the period of confinement, she could leave the room and walk around. Therefore, the emperor proposed to take a walk in the corridor with the queen.
In fact, it was just the Chinese New Year, and the weather in the capital was still very cold. The queen was originally worried that it would be too cold outside, but she couldn't help but agree that this was the emperor's suggestion, so she agreed.
The emperor and empress then left the queen's palace, and without even going down the steps, they walked around outside the Xinuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace and looked at the snow for a while. At this time, the queen had not seen wind for more than a month. Suddenly, a gust of north wind blew by, causing the queen to shiver.
When the emperor saw her, he asked the queen if she felt cold, took off his cloak and put it on the queen, and then prepared to personally help the queen back to the West Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace.
As luck would have it, at this moment someone from Xiaohuangmen came to report that the queen mothers of the two palaces and the eldest princesses had come to attend the emperor's legitimate son's full moon ceremony, and asked the emperor and the queen if they wanted to go see the queen mother immediately.
The emperor had already replied first, saying that the queen was a little afraid of the cold, and that he and her would go see her later. For now, he asked the two queen mothers to take a rest in the front hall. However, the queen was very polite and she felt something was wrong and insisted on going to see him immediately.
The emperor was helpless and saw that the queen's face seemed to be much rosier after putting on her cloak. She must be no longer cold, so he agreed.
But there is a problem here. As mentioned before, Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace are similar in shape and occupy a quite large area. The emperor and empress want to see the empress dowagers of the two palaces who are in the front hall. Is this a long journey? It was short and short, but it happened to be at a distance that was inconvenient to take a carriage, so the emperor and the empress finally chose to go on foot.
This time we walked out of the shelter of the building, and the northwest wind blew. The queen put on a fox crop cloak, and she didn't feel very cold at this moment. On the contrary, after the emperor took off the cloak, he was left with only an ordinary-thick coat, which made his face turn pale.
The queen was very distressed when she saw this, and wanted to give up the cloak to the emperor several times, but the emperor seemed unwilling to lose his strong image in front of his wife and refused to accept it.
Chen Ju beside him wanted to take off his cloak and give it to the emperor. The emperor waved his hand and said no. Wang An reminded Chen Ju in a low voice, saying, "Why is the emperor willing to wear our cloak?"
Chen Ju was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that this was indeed inconsistent with etiquette - in fact, the quality of the cloak he was wearing was not bad, but it was a pity that it was embroidered with pythons on the outside, which... was not what an emperor should wear.
It's actually a bit funny here, because on one side the emperor refuses to wear Chen Ju's cloak, but on the other side the queen wears the emperor's cloak. However, the situation was actually different: Chen Ju's cloak was made according to the python robe, so the emperor could not wear it. However, the emperor's fox-cropped cloak did not have many heraldry, but the inside was bright yellow, and there were some on the chest. Dragon pattern.
Some people may ask: How can the queen wear a cloak with dragon patterns? But this statement is wrong, because it is actually very common for empresses of the Ming Dynasty to use dragon patterns.
For example, in the portraits of several queens from the Ming Dynasty that have been preserved by later generations, Empress Chen of Emperor Shizong Jiajing has two dragons clearly painted on her crown. The existing queens Xiaoduan and Xiaojing also have dragons on their crowns - of course, there are also queens with phoenix shapes.
[Note: There seems to be no clear explanation in the historical circles as to why some of the portraits of the queens of the Ming Dynasty use dragons and some with phoenixes. They can only confirm that this is an objective historical fact.
The crown is like this, and the clothes are the same. Later generations left a red dress made by Wang Gongfei, the biological mother of Emperor Taichang of the Ming Dynasty. There were rows of dragon patterns on the left and right chests and on the left and right sleeves on the upper arms. I even counted them, and they were all five-clawed dragons. I guess this was because she was buried with her after she was promoted to queen. ]
In short, the emperor refused to take back his own cloak, and also refused the cloaks of the eunuchs around him, so he came to the front hall wearing Yanju's regular clothes, met with the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and also accepted the audience of the eldest princesses.
It is quite warm in the front hall, because as mentioned before, the current Kunning Palace was built with the help of Jinghua Infrastructure. Not only does the reinforced concrete structure have an insulation layer in the walls [Note: In ancient methods, peppercorns are ground and mixed with mud. ], the newly laid floor heating is also much more advanced than the previous one.
At this time, because the two palace queens were late, the floor heating was turned on to be warmer than usual. When the emperor came in, it was like rain after a long drought. He felt so comfortable that he wished he could sleep on the spot.
At this time, the front hall was extremely lively, and it was a rare "family" liveliness, and the emperor quickly became infected. However, there were no other men in the palace. Women were chatting at the moment, but the emperor himself had nothing to say, so he simply ordered that the full moon ceremony be moved to the front hall.
Fortunately, the full-moon ceremony was actually quite simple, and all the ceremonial requirements were quickly moved to the front hall. The emperor felt that he had regained his warmth, and he happily went to the bedroom to bring his son over in person. Apparently the wind blew again, and after that, he entered the furnace-like front hall.
This is not over yet. After the simple full moon ceremony, according to Chinese tradition, you have to have a banquet anyway. Although both palaces were present, no one in the two palaces would restrict the emperor from drinking. However, because the emperor was happy, he was able to be in high spirits when drinking alone, and he drank a whole jar of his favorite Qiulubai. .
According to Gao Pangshi's understanding, Zhu Yijun's drinking capacity is actually quite good, but for some reason, Liu Ping said that the emperor got a little drunk after drinking, and insisted on sending the two empresses back to the palace. I couldn't make it to the dormitory, so I had to go back to Qianqing Palace to rest.
Unexpectedly, not long after returning to Qianqing Palace, the emperor vomited. First, he vomited wine and food, and then he started coughing violently. He coughed out two mouthfuls of blood, then his body went limp and he fainted on the spot.
These situations were all mentioned by Liu Ping on the road, and the cabinet ministers all thought that the description was quite detailed.
The emperor likes to drink Qiulubai, which Gao Qinggang knows very well. When he drank with the emperor in Xinuang Pavilion, the emperor also brought out this wine and said it was his favorite wine.
At that time, Gao pragmatically asked: "Since it is called Qiu Lu Bai, could it be brewed from the dew in the early morning of autumn?" The emperor laughed and said, "It turns out you don't understand something."
Then Gao Pragmatic explained that Qiulubai is not actually considered autumn wine. It is brewed in October every year and is a winter brew.
The emperor also said that it is true to brew it with dew. This method originated from Shandong. It was originally made by placing a shallow dish under a steep cliff with lush green grass and hanging leaves, and collecting the dew on the grass blades. Of. However, the palace did not have such conditions, and the people at the imperial wine shop just used some jade plates and filled some dew on Yuquan Mountain to make up for it, so the wine may still lack some charm.
At this time, Gao Pingshi was moved in his heart and thought to himself: Could it be that there is something wrong with the jar of Qiu Lubai that the emperor drank today?
But this time, before Gao Pingshi could ask, Wang Jiaping asked first. Liu Ping replied: "The emperor has drunk all the wine, but there is always some left at the bottom of the jar. Chen Zhangyin and Wang Factory Supervisor have ordered that the wine jar be well guarded, and they have already done so when the servants came to invite you gentlemen. I ordered the imperial doctor to be inspected, and I believe you gentlemen will be able to come to a conclusion when you arrive at Qianqing Palace."
In this case, we have to wait until we get to Qianqing Palace to see the situation.
But at this time, Gao Pragmatic thought again, could the emperor just catch a cold, or could he catch a cold because of several consecutive hot and cold spells? When he first went from the queen's bedroom to the front hall, it was obviously possible that it would be cold. Because the queen mothers of the two palaces were there, the floor heating in the front hall was too hot. This was obviously hot and cold to the emperor.
And not long after, he went to the bedroom in person to bring the emperor's son to the front hall, which was equivalent to experiencing hot and cold again. This situation may not matter to people in good health, but Zhu Yijun's health is very good... I'm afraid it won't be much better, and the possibility of catching a cold is very high.
This is not over yet. Assuming that he has caught a cold at this moment, just because he is in the prime of life and his body has not had time to have an obvious reaction, then he drank another jar of wine... Will this also have very bad effects? At this moment, Gao Pragmatic deeply resented that he had only learned articles from his mentor but not any medical skills.
Gao Pingshi frowned, and while walking, he glanced at Shen Yiguan again.
Coincidentally, Shen Yiguan also glanced at Gao Pingshi with a frown.
