"The official family is happy to have a dragon son!"
"The official family has a heir."
The news spread throughout the court in the shortest possible time, and the government and the public were celebrating for a while.
All the officials immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The birth of a prince in the harem was a huge event for the royal family and the court.
"Congratulations to the official family!"
All of a sudden, all the officials came up to congratulate him.
"Pass the decree! Promote Liu Jieyu to the title of virtuous concubine, name my eldest son Zhao Mao, and grant him the title of King of Yue!" Zhao Xu said overjoyed.
"Zhao Mao!"
All the officials couldn't help but pause, Mao: The original meaning is lush vegetation!
For several generations in the Song Dynasty, the royal family had not had many heirs. Zhao Xu named his eldest son Zhao Mao in the hope that Zhao Mao would grow up healthily. It can be said that he had good intentions.
"The official sage!"
All the officials praised him one after another.
As courtiers, they don't want the throne to be passed down in an orderly manner. If Zhao Mao can grow up healthily, although he is not the eldest son, he will ensure the smooth succession of the throne and avoid many troubles.
Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. History always has amazing inertia. He originally thought that he took the initiative to detect the poison of cotton oil, which was enough to change Zhao Xu's crisis, but he did not expect that Zhao Xu's descendants would be the same as future generations.
In Longyou Palace,
Queen Meng looked at the delicate daughter beside her and couldn't help but show a hint of motherly love.
"Fuqing!"
Queen Meng called her daughter's name with both love and regret.
It's a pity that Fuqing is a princess. If it is a son, he will be the eldest son of the Song Dynasty and the well-deserved heir of the Song Dynasty.
This is not because Queen Meng favors sons over daughters, but the cruelest truth about the harem - mother is more valuable than son.
Concubine Liu Xian had just given birth to the prince Zhao Mao, and she was named Concubine Xian by Zhao Xu. If there was only one prince in the harem, Zhao Mao, then Zhao Mao would be the worthy heir to the throne. If Fu Qing was a man, he would be the eldest son, and the throne would not be in any way Not to Zhao Mao.
"The officials are still in the Concubine Xian's palace?" Queen Meng, who was in confinement, raised her weak body and asked.
After she gave birth to Princess Fuqing, Zhao Xu only came to take a look and stayed in Concubine Xian's palace.
"Yes! Queen!" The maids on the side quickly stepped forward to help her and said sadly for Queen Meng.
Empress Meng's heart was full of emotions. When she accepted Fan Zheng's evil pig breeding plan, she was already mentally prepared for other concubines to give birth to princes. However, she agreed to the matter without hesitation. After all, the official family was rich in cotton oil. It is her duty as a queen to let the official family have a heir as soon as possible.
However, when it really happened, she found that she was not as relieved as she had imagined.
"To inform the queen, Dr. Zhang has passed down a medical prescription for child care. In view of the lack of offspring in the royal family, it is recommended that all children in the harem be breastfed so that the babies can grow up healthily."
"Breastfeeding?"
Queen Meng couldn't help but be stunned. Not to mention the concubines in the harem, ordinary wealthy families would hire wet nurses to be responsible for feeding babies. Firstly, it can keep the women in shape. Secondly, without the fetters of children, the children in the harem can continue to compete for favor. After all, In the harem, competition for favor always comes first.
But now doctors actually advocate breastfeeding, which makes her feel a little embarrassed.
However, when Queen Meng saw the pink Princess Fuqing beside her, the doubt in her heart had long since disappeared.
"Okay, I will feed Fu Qing myself!" Queen Meng immediately made up her mind.
As a queen, she had a transcendent status. In addition, she was not favored by Zhao Xu and lost her desire to compete for favor. Coupled with her motherly love for Princess Fuqing, she finally decided to breastfeed her daughter. As long as her daughter could grow up healthily, It's all worth it.
In the palace of the Concubine Xian!
"What, Dr. Zhang suggested breastfeeding?" Concubine Liu Xian said reluctantly.
Concubine Liu Xian was already extremely willful, and because she gave birth to a prince, naturally the mother was more valuable because of her son, so her character became even more arrogant.
Although her future status will come from her son Zhao Mao, she is not willing to lose her capital to fight for favor for Zhao Mao. Giving birth to a prince is only the first step. Ascending to the position of queen is her real goal, and fighting for favor is It's her only resort.
Eunuch Hao Sui saw this and said quickly: "Queen, don't worry, the doctors are just suggesting it, not forcing it. Besides, there are many people who ask for wet nurses, and they don't all grow up healthily."
Concubine Liu Xian nodded with satisfaction. However, she knew that Zhao Maonai was the only son of the official family and was extremely important to him. Naturally, she could not openly say that she was unwilling to breastfeed.
He then raised his forehead and said, "Just say that after I gave birth to Mao'er, my body was weak and I really couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of feeding Mao'er."
Under Concubine Liu Xian's pretentiousness, Prince Zhao Mao was finally handed over to the palace nurse for feeding.
After Fan Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. The royal family has always had few heirs, and in later generations, none of Zhao Xu's children survived. He asked the doctor to take the initiative to recommend breastfeeding, which can be said to be a good intention.
In particular, the prince Zhao Mao was the top priority, but it was a pity that he was ruined by the arrogant Concubine Liu Xian.
Zhao Xu smiled awkwardly and said: "Fan Aiqing, don't worry, the nanny's feeding is not bad. I grew up with the nanny's feeding, and I'm not growing up healthily now!"
He loved Concubine Liu Xian very much and couldn't bear Concubine Liu's pleading, so he had no choice but to agree to hand over the prince Zhao Mao to his wet nurse to raise him.
Fan Zheng sighed: "Breastfeeding is more conducive to the development and growth of babies. Doctors only advocate it and do not insist on it. However, there are some taboos about raising babies, and officials need to pay more attention."
"Fan Aiqing, please tell me, I will definitely do it this time." Zhao Xu promised, patting his chest.
Fan Zheng took a deep breath and said, "What the officials don't know is that according to doctors' theory that the causes of diseases are alive, everyone is the host of various causes of diseases, and babies are weak when they are born and it is extremely difficult to take medicine. Once they are infected by the causes of diseases, they will Extremely troublesome.”
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I know that I will strictly order the maids responsible for raising the prince and princess to check their bodies regularly and wear masks to prevent the prince and princess from getting sick."
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "More than that, in addition to the palace maids and eunuchs, we also need to prevent our close relatives from being infected by various sources of disease."
"A close relative?"
Zhao Xu's expression changed involuntarily, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.
Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "Some close relatives often kiss the baby's face. This seems to be an act of love, but in fact it carries the risk of contracting the disease. Even parents should try to reduce this behavior."
"Will kissing a baby make you sick?"
Zhao Xu was in disbelief. This was simply unheard of for him.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Besides that, blowing the food to cool the baby, sharing a dinner plate, even chewing for the baby, and mouth-to-mouth feeding are all taboos in raising babies. Doctors have received many reports about this. In this case, once you get sick, you will regret it.”
Zhao Xu was suddenly shocked. He had just become a father, and he did not expect that there were so many taboos about raising a baby.
"Come here! Spread Fan Aiqing's recipe throughout the harem, and you are not allowed to kiss the baby!" Zhao Xu said solemnly.
Although he had never heard of Fan Zheng's evil methods, Fan Zheng's evil methods had never failed. In addition, he had been poisoned by cotton oil, which made it difficult for his children to have children, and he must not allow any mistakes.
"Remember! Everyone must abide by it, including me!" Zhao Xu reminded again.
"I understand!" Tong Guan responded.
Soon, Tong Guan spread Fan Zheng's evil recipe throughout the harem, and the entire harem was in an uproar.
"This is simply ridiculous! Could it be that I can't even kiss my own son?" Concubine Liu Xian said angrily.
Hao Sui smiled bitterly and said: "It's not just the virtuous concubine and the official who speaks eloquently, even he himself can't do it!"
"The officials have too much faith in Fan Zhengchong." Concubine Liu Xian was greatly disgusted.
However, what she didn't expect was that except for him, no one in the harem questioned Fan Zheng's parenting taboos.
After all, Fan Zheng's evil methods have never failed, and everyone in the harem would naturally rather believe him than believe him.
At the same time, in the Di newspaper, Fan Zheng also reported the taboos on childcare one by one.
Suddenly, the world was in an uproar.
Since ancient times, it has been common for elders and relatives to kiss babies to express affection. However, it is one of the main culprits causing infant deaths.
For a while, there were some believers and some doubters.
In the Imperial Medical Office, doctors gathered together, and all the doctors also discussed Fan Zheng's child-rearing taboos.
"From the theory that the causes of all diseases are alive, there is nothing wrong with the parenting taboos mentioned by Fan Taicheng." Qian Yi affirmed.
Zhang Youniang smiled bitterly and said, "This may be against human ethics!"
Babies are born close to their parents. In order to avoid the risk of illness, doctors keep parents and babies at a distance, which is naturally against human ethics.
"Compared to life, this issue is not important at all, but I'm afraid not many people are willing to abide by these taboos." Yang Jie shook his head. The infant mortality rate in the Song Dynasty is too high. If newly born babies can be protected, I believe the risk of infant mortality will be greatly reduced.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Medicine and medicine can't kill people. I'll just wait for the doctor to fulfill his obligation to remind you."
Zhang Youniang said solemnly: "I will ask female doctors all over the world to remember this policy and try to remind parents all over the world."
"Today we have summoned all the doctors to discuss important matters besides child-rearing taboos." Fan Zheng looked around and said solemnly.
All the doctors suddenly looked solemn and sat upright. The last time Fan Zheng summoned doctors from all over the world, the doctors set their main research direction on blood and finally cracked the blood transfusion therapy.
But now Fan Zheng once again summoned all the doctors, and all the doctors were looking forward to it.
"This time the official family is happy to have a prince and two princesses. Dr. Zhang's obstetrics and gynecology department has made great contributions." Fan Zheng first praised the female doctors.
"Congratulations to Dr. Zhang?"
All the doctors congratulated him.
Nowadays, doctors have succeeded in blood transfusion therapy, coupled with Fan Zheng's evil prescription of incubator, the fertility difficulties have been basically overcome by doctors, and the successful birth rate of babies has greatly increased.
"I am ashamed of myself. The achievements of the line of female doctors are all due to your great help." Zhang Youniang said with shame.
Zhang Youniang is not being modest. The caesarean section comes from Hua Tuo’s unique knowledge. The treatment of maternal hemorrhage comes from the blood transfusion therapy experimented by the veterinarian. Even the incubator is Fan Zheng’s evil recipe. The female doctor line only borrows from other medical achievements!
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Doctors are one body, and naturally they should validate each other's medical skills. Now doctors have overcome the difficulty of childbirth, but this is only the first step. It is easy to give birth, but it is difficult to raise children! Today, there are still a large number of children every year. Death in infancy, even for the royal family.”
Yang Jie nodded slightly. Back then, he was invited by Fan Zhengzhi to personally come to the palace to find out the mystery of the royal heir's failure. The death of a royal heir was shocking, let alone the public.
"Parents feeding their children healthily is only the first step to avoid premature death. There are also many diseases that occur during the growth of babies. Doctors are preparing to set the next important task of conquering pediatrics, which will not only ensure that the three princes and princesses grow up healthily, but also take the opportunity to improve their health. Doctors have great pediatric medical skills." Fan Zheng said solemnly.
All the doctors suddenly understood Fan Zheng's plan to connect Pediatric Daxing with the prince and princess.
"Is there any risk in this strategy?" Yang Jie frowned.
Pediatrics was also called the Department of Pediatrics in the Song Dynasty! All doctors agree that treating children is the most difficult disease.
Because young children cannot yet speak, even those who can speak often cannot express themselves with words, making it impossible to accurately detect the cause of the disease.
It is difficult to treat children, let alone treat princes and princesses, and there are many risks involved.
Other doctors also nodded. They just wanted to practice medicine purely and did not want to get too involved in the affairs of the palace.
Fan Zheng asked back: "Do you think the doctors can shirk the prince and princess' illness in the future?"
The faces of all the doctors couldn't help but change. Now that the doctors are unified, if the prince or princess gets sick in the future, the doctors may still be unable to escape.
"Since there is no way for doctors to avoid it, why not take the initiative to take over the burden and use the royal resources to revitalize pediatrics! Pediatrics and the royal family will both benefit from the cooperation, and both sides will lose." Fan Zheng said seriously.
Escape is not the best way. As doctors, treating diseases and saving people is their ultimate goal.
All the doctors were silent, and finally nodded helplessly. The doctors bear the important responsibility of the healthy growth of the prince and princess. This is both a challenge and an opportunity.
Seeing this, Fan Zheng nodded and said: "From now on, not only the Maternity and Children's Hospital of the female doctor line, but also the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Imperial Medical College each have a pediatric line. They will summarize the world's pediatric diseases and prescriptions and hand them over to Imperial Physician Master Qian to compile and publish a book. At the same time, we will provide feedback to major hospitals around the world."
Qian Yi couldn't help but be shocked. He had always had the idea of compiling a pediatric medical book. If the pediatricians of the three major hospitals compiled pediatric diseases at the same time, then this medical book would definitely become the holy book of pediatrics.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Qian. As time goes by, Senior Brother Qian will be the sage of pediatrics." Female doctor Zhang Youniang complimented.
Qian Yi said humbly: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it!"
Qian Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. As a veteran doctor, he had not made much breakthrough in his medical skills. Naturally, Fan Zheng, an evil doctor, could not be judged by common sense. Yang Jie, a junior who reproduced Hua Tuo's unique skills, was famous among the people. He has already surpassed him, not to mention the rising stars such as forensic doctor Su Dun, veterinarian Pang Jizu, and even Zhang Youniang of the same generation has already become famous for her obstetrics and gynecology.
As an imperial physician, he was extremely embarrassed. He was not the leader of the medical family, and his medical skills were not the best. He could only watch a junior surpass him, but specializing in pediatrics gave him a chance to turn around.
Fan Zheng said slowly: "In addition, Fan has another good news to tell you. Princess Yelu has fulfilled her promise and brought back many Artemisia seeds from the Western Regions and the Far North. Once the trial planting is successful, children all over the world will It will completely eliminate the suffering of roundworms.”
"really?"
Qian Yi said with a look of surprise.
Which child in the world does not suffer from roundworms! Doctors do not have an anti-worming drug that is effective enough. If roundworm can be produced on a large scale to get rid of roundworms, it will be great news for children all over the world.
Fan Zheng nodded and said, "This time, Princess Yelu sent twenty kilograms of roundworm seeds, enough for large-scale planting."
The Big Brother of later generations only donated 20 grams of Artemisia wormwood seeds, and the Artemisia wormwood flourished in China. Now twenty pounds of roundworms are enough to help children in the Song Dynasty get rid of roundworms as soon as possible.
"Counting the days, it's time for the winter solstice!" Fan Zheng said with emotion.
The evil prescription he gave Yelu Nanyin needed to be in an extremely cold place, on an extremely cold day, and at an extremely cold time, the weather would be used to frostbite the scarlet mole, which was the day of the winter solstice.
