"Quack doctor! Quack doctor!" In the royal tent, Yelu Deguang was angry every day. Under his scattered head, his face was a little deformed, which was painful twist. He smashed a pack of "ice packs" that had no longer coolness on the ground with full force, his eyes filled with tears. He was tyrannical, staring at the two medical officers kneeling in the tent: "Besides this useless water bag, can't you think of any other way?"
After this period of time, even Yelu Deguang, who had different medical knowledge, realized that there was something wrong with his body. At first it was just unbearable heat, so he just thought it was because he was not accustomed to the climate of the Southern Dynasties and was not acclimated to the climate. However, as time went by, he also called in military medical officers for treatment. Unfortunately, instead of getting better, it worsened day by day. By the time he arrived in Luancheng, Yelu Deguang was already somewhat exhausted. .
Yelu Deguang's disease manifested itself as "cold and heat syndrome", where extreme heat causes cold. The medical officers he sought were all Hu doctors. In order to solve the problem of strong "internal fire", they mostly used the traditional Khitan therapy "ice compress method".
Basically, it is to gather cold ice between the chest and abdomen, hands and feet, heart and axilla to treat the fever. However, this approach treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It can relieve temporary pain, but it is difficult to eradicate and has serious side effects. By now, Yelu Deguang's illness had worsened, and it was getting worse quickly.
Under such a situation, Yelu Deguang was naturally furious, while the two Khitan medical officers were helpless. The method of "ice compress to reduce fever" is the experience summed up by Khitan doctors and people who have been fighting this naturally caused fever disease for many years. It has always been useful, and it is not surprising in the Southern Dynasties. Who knew that it was used on Yelu Deguang, but he just didn't do it. It doesn't work, but it has the opposite effect...
Facing the Liao Emperor's scolding, the two medical officers were frightened and at a loss. They could only accuse themselves of being incompetent.
"Trash! What's the use of keeping you?" Yelu Deguang's murderous intention was very serious. His red eyes did not blink, and he ordered the guards in a serious tone: "Pull out of the camp gate and behead!"
The two medical officers were not given a chance to appeal. Of course, begging for mercy was useless. Soon, two medical officers lost their lives.
The man was killed, but Yelv Deguang's pain was not relieved at all. Lying on the couch, he gradually felt dizzy and hot. In order to suppress the body's high fever, he had to continue to use the useless "ice pack".
Still at the suggestion of a chamberlain, Yelu Deguang decided to try Chinese medicine. In the army, many imperial doctors who were originally from Bian Palace soon found an old Chinese doctor.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action. The imperial doctor is very old and looks like the kind of doctor with rich "clinical experience". After a thorough investigation of Yelu Deguang, under the close supervision of the guards and close ministers, Yelu Deguang was given a few injections and his condition was relieved.
Lying on the bed, Yelu Deguang's "whining" made him feel much better. There were still a few silver needles stuck in his bare back. He was sweating like crazy on his head and body. He tilted his head and squinted at the man who was prescribing medicine for him. The imperial doctor praised: "It only takes a few needles to have such a miraculous effect. This acupuncture technique is so miraculous? Your surname is Wang, right? I will definitely reward you heavily!"
The old imperial doctor thanked him cautiously, not daring to be careless at all. Before entering the account, he really saw clearly the two pools of blood in front of the imperial camp. The Liao Emperor on the couch was now a tyrannical master.
While respectfully handing over the prescription to the ministers, the old imperial doctor told Yelu Deguang: "The fever diseases that Your Majesty contracted were all due to emotional stimulation, which caused the Qi to be blocked, depression and heat, and coupled with the inability to adapt to the Central Plains. The disease is due to heat and exogenous malaria. The doctor used ice compresses to reduce the heat, which had a slight effect. However, the ice leaned against the muscles and bones, causing the evil energy to lurk inside. There was no way out for the evil energy, and the disease became lingering."
"The old silver needle is used to test the acupuncture points, which can relieve the pain a little, but it still needs medicine to rest. Next, Your Majesty should not think too much, worry, worry, or get angry, um..." After a slight hesitation, the old imperial doctor glanced at The beautiful maid who was waiting on her side added: "It's best to stay away from women..."
After listening to what the old imperial doctor said, Yelu Deguang retorted directly: "I can listen to you about everything else. Only this woman is wrong."
After hearing Yelu Deguang's teachings, the old Chinese medicine doctor wisely became silent. The two words he said were just to fulfill his duty and save his life. As for persuading the Liao Emperor, he had no such troublesome thoughts.
Carrying the medicine bag on his back, he walked out of the imperial tent. When he stepped out of the tent, the old imperial doctor breathed a heavy sigh of relief, looked back, with an inexplicable color on his face, and left with his head shaking. Then he went to receive the reward. This time he didn't have to go back to the messy and dirty place. Instead, he found a neat little tent nearby to rest in so that Yelu Deguang could call him at any time.
On Yelu Deguang's side, after some diagnosis and treatment, the fever gradually subsided. Although he still felt that there was accumulation of heat poison in his body, it was not as unbearable as before. My energy has returned to its best state in recent times.
During the two days after staying in Luan City, Yelu De had to stop having sex with women due to the worsening of his illness. But even though things got slightly better, Na Ke couldn't help but feel restless again. He was not duplicity, it was exactly what he said in front of the imperial doctor.
...
Especially when fever is close to you, the consequences will come quickly and be very serious. That night, Yelu Deguang suddenly vomited blood and went into shock. He passed out and passed away in a short period of time. They were so shocked that they hurriedly invited the old imperial doctor. After some strenuous rescue efforts, Yelu Deguang was finally brought back from the line of life and death.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that Yelu Deguang woke up from his coma. He looked extremely weak, tilted his head, and with dim eyes could see a group of Khitan nobles, ministers, generals kneeling from the bed to outside the tent...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Seeing Yelu Deguang wake up, a group of people stepped forward and called excitedly, showing great loyalty.
The scene was a bit chaotic, but it was only after Yelu Ruan scolded that it calmed down. Yelu De went bald for the first time and felt that his body was so weak and so heavy even when he moved. It was hot before, but this time, my whole body was now filled with a cold feeling, and the permeating coolness kept invading my skin, making me shiver.
Looking at the scene in front of the imperial couch, Yelu Deguang felt like he had seen through everything, and his eyes stayed on Yelu Ruan for a moment. He raised his hand with difficulty and scolded the ministers coldly: "What are you doing kneeling here? I'm slightly sick, but it's serious. Please step back and stabilize the morale of the army!"
"yes!"
The ministers retreated away with different expressions on their faces, but Yelu Ruan and a few others had some strange expressions on their faces. Yelu Ruan's heart was a little disturbed. During the short period of time when Yelu Deguang was unconscious, he became the backbone of the entire army. He had also asked the imperial doctor that the emperor's illness was a bit difficult.
Everyone knew that Yelv Deguang was ill, but no one thought that in just three or two days, it would get worse and worse, and even almost die. It can be said that illness comes like a mountain.
Yelv Deguang, on his side, could no longer conceal his weakness after repelling the ministers. Although, his frailty has long been obvious to others. At this time, Yelv Deguang's face was full of age, but his eyes were still sharp and terrifying, just like a tiger without its fangs.
After resting for a long time, Yelu Deguang felt strangely better in the evening, and his body slowly regained its energy, just like a sweet spring pouring into the dry land. But Yelu Deguang felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
Previously, the emperor's younger brother Yelu Lihu, who was staying in Beijing, sent envoys to the south to inquire about the matter, but failed to reply in time. Yelu Deguang felt something at this time and summoned several ministers.
"Send the envoy back to the capital to report to the emperor's brother! Record!" The lamp was already lit in the tent. Yelu De leaned against the pillow and said slowly in a sickly voice:
"At the beginning, I sent 200,000 troops to surrender to Du Chongwei and Zhang Yanze, and went to Zhenzhou. When they entered Bian, they were spared from the officials who were considered to be competent, and those who were talented were appointed. Although the subordinates are still there, the officials are degenerated, just like the young ones after they fly. , there is only an empty nest. After a long period of chaos, it is here. The thieves in the area have gathered together, and the local achievements are endless. The payment is not at the right time, and the people are miserable. The east of the river has not yet returned to its fate, and the chiefs on the west road are also attached to the party, and they spend long nights thinking about it. , the only way to control it is to encourage the officials, to harmonize with the military, and to care for the people. Now I have submitted to seventy-six places, and have 19,180 households. It is not the heat of Bianzhou, and the water and soil are difficult. If we stay here for just one year, peace will be at our fingertips. We will change the town to Zhongjing in preparation for the patrol. If you want to attack the east of the river, please wait until you make another plan. This is the summary."
"Your Majesty!" After recording, Zhang Li and other ministers prostrated themselves and cried: "Please take care of yourself!"
Yelu Deguang's reply had a vague feeling of explaining the funeral affairs. Ignoring these people, he waved his hand to signal them to leave.
Later, after eating a little bit of food, he vomited it all out. Yelu became a little anorexic. He ordered people to carry him out of the imperial tent, huddled on the couch, and looked up at the inky night.
It had been a long time since he had admired the night sky so seriously. Dots of stars came into view. Yelu Deguang's thoughts were wandering, and his eyes gradually became dull.
"What day and month is today?" Yelu Deguang asked suddenly, his voice low.
"Your Majesty, April 17th," the chamberlain replied.
"It's been like this in a month. Things in the world are unpredictable, like this."
"At the beginning, I told the ministers of the Jin Dynasty that I knew everything about China! Now it seems that in the future, I will be ridiculed by others."
"Liu Zhiyuan was lucky. He conquered the Jin Dynasty in the south, but he took advantage of him! Without me, he might not be where he is today."
"I don't know if I can return to Shangjing, or will I have to die as a guest like my elder brother..."
He whispered in a voice that no one else could hear and blew the cold air, but his mind was not clear. Slowly, Yelu Deguang closed his eyes.
After a long time, the chamberlain discovered that Emperor Liao had died. Just like in history, he died of an emergency and died suddenly!
