It is often said that the safety of the emperor is related to the stability of the world. In fact, sometimes it is, sometimes it is not, but at least it can profoundly affect the stability of the temple.
Therefore, the issue of how to treat the emperor is often full of political games. In fact, this is not a medical issue, but a political issue.
No one is sure to wake up the comatose Emperor Jiajing, so no one dares to treat the emperor. This is the sorrow of being a great emperor, just like the emperor often cannot eat hot meals.
Only Queen Mother Zhang does not need the emperor to wake up, but she needs the emperor to be alive and have the status and ability to be responsible for the results.
After all, the medical prescription Qin Dewei brought over was actually prepared for Queen Mother Zhang.
So far, Qin Zhongtang has not made any attempt to force the palace, but Queen Mother Zhang had to bear everything and accept the medical prescription offered by Qin Dewei.
However, before the verification has been carried out, you, Qin Dewei, have to discuss the subsequent "social affairs". Isn't it too much!
Even if you are buying and selling, you must inspect the goods first before paying!
Immediately some righteous people couldn't stand it any longer. Mr. Yan Song and Yan Ge stood up and accused Qin Dewei:
"The emperor's corpse... ah no, the corpse cannot be recovered. It is true that you, Qin Dewei, offer the corpse as a minister, but how can you ignore the importance and turn the front and rear upside down!
Now that the emperor is in critical condition, rescue is imminent. We must seize the time to get the prescription checked to avoid missing the opportunity for treatment!
Although the matter of Sheji is important, it is not urgent. In this hour and a half, it is important to seek treatment from the Emperor first!"
Mr. Yan Ge knew very well that if Queen Mother Zhang personally agreed to Qin Dewei's "unreasonable request" in public now, it would be difficult to change her tune in the future!
If the emperor's life is saved first and Empress Dowager Zhang is no longer "blackmailed", she can bargain with Qin Dewei, or even turn her back and regret it!
No one can predict what the future will bring. The least bad outcome Mr. Yan Ge can think of is to just take it one step at a time.
When Yan Song said this, Qin Dewei could not continue to blackmail Queen Mother Zhang with the medical prescription, so he could only introduce the medical prescription to Queen Mother Zhang first.
"This is a nasogastric drainage method. A green onion tube is inserted into the sinuses, and a special decoction can be poured into the throat. The decoction contains a variety of beneficial formulas, which can replenish water and qi, and maintain life."
Modern people can understand it as soon as they hear it. This technology is actually similar to gastric tube infusion, which allows a person to survive without eating or drinking.
Empress Dowager Zhang ordered the preparations to begin. The unconscious Emperor Jiajing had not had enough water and rice all day and night and could not wait any longer.
The ministers were silent and did not speak to stop it. The situation was too complicated and few people could understand it clearly.
First, the sealed medicine jars guarded by the imperial guards and the imperial soldiers were brought in from the outside and allowed to be inspected by the imperial physician on the spot and tasted in person.
At the same time, he captured two more eunuchs who were about the same size as Emperor Jiajing, ordered them to lie down, and then found a bunch of green onions.
Others did not dare to take responsibility, so Empress Dowager Zhang personally used two eunuchs to test and practice to confirm that they could infuse liquid into the throat through the sinuses.
In order to avoid suspicion, everything was done under the supervision of ministers and was fully open to the public.
The ministers watched silently, silently calculating, if it is indeed effective later, how will Queen Mother Zhang treat Qin Dewei?
If it fails or there is an accident and the emperor dies, then Qin Dewei seems to be in the clear.
Finally, under the witness of more than a dozen civil and military ministers and senior eunuchs, Empress Dowager Zhang personally directed the eunuchs and doctors to "infuse" Emperor Jiajing.
After another half an hour, the purple color on Emperor Jiajing's face gradually faded, and his complexion improved significantly.
Seeing this, everyone can be sure that the medical prescription should be effective.
If this is the case, although the emperor is still unconscious, his life is at least temporarily saved and he will not die in a coma for a day or two.
The confusing and confusing situation, which left everyone in the imperial court completely confused, finally "stabilized".
For the time being, there is no need to consider the possibility of the emperor's death or awakening. Just proceed to the next step according to the state of being unconscious, dead or alive.
After letting the eunuchs carry the emperor away, Empress Dowager Zhang immediately responded to the request of the ministers and issued an edict to let the crown prince attend the Wenhua Palace tomorrow, accepting ministers of third rank and above, officials of seventh rank and above in Zhan Shifu, and officials from fifth rank and above in Hanlin Academy.
Congratulations.
From then on, the prince's supervision of the country officially began, but for a six-year-old child to supervise the country, auxiliary ministers must be arranged for consultation.
Originally, this arrangement could be very simple. It would be enough for the senior bachelor of the cabinet to concurrently serve as the auxiliary minister. If there is precedent, such as Sanyang auxiliary minister, it can be arranged as usual.
But for some reason, the current cabinet feels a bit weak and cannot completely control the situation.
Imagine that if the assistant ministers only have two ministers, Zhai Luan and Yan Song, a discerning person will know at a glance that this team cannot be assisted at all, and the government affairs of the court will definitely be stagnant. Everyone knows the reason.
Everyone looked at Qin Zhongtang. Just now Qin Zhongtang was noisy about discussing "social affairs", why did he stop talking now?
Seeing that Qin Zhongtang had no intention of speaking, Queen Mother Zhang turned to Mr. Yan Ge and inquired: "Mr. Yan, who do you think can assist Prince Zuo?"
Yan Song replied without thinking: "Ministers of the Cabinet, Zhan Shifu, Zhan Shifu, Zhang Bangqi, and Xu Zan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Outer Dynasty, are available for consultation!"
Mr. Yan Ge's proposal sounds very reasonable.
It goes without saying that cabinet ministers assist the government is a precedent, needless to say; Zhang Bangqi is the head of the official family of the East Palace, and the prince oversees the country, so the East Palace must have a representative;
The Minister of Personnel is the head of the six departments of the outer dynasty, and manages the government on behalf of the emperor. Needless to say, the importance of personnel power is also a figure who should assist in the administration, and can also serve as a representative of the outer dynasty.
Therefore, Mr. Yan Ge's proposal is impeccable in theory, but anyone who is interested can see that this proposal perfectly avoids all the spheres of influence belonging to Qin Zhongtang.
Whether cabinet ministers in the traditional sense include Qin Zhongtang has always been a vague question. It is difficult to say, and Yan Song did not make it clear this time.
And Zhang Bangqi, the chief of Zhanshifu, is the boss of the Zhejiang Party, and the Zhejiang Party is an ally of Mr. Yan Ge; Xu Tianguan is not a member of Qin Dewei's party either.
Anyway, after everyone listened to Mr. Yan Ge's suggestion, no one went to see Queen Mother Zhang's reaction. They all went to observe Qin Zhongtang's face.
I saw that Qin Zhongtang was calm and relaxed at this moment, without any anxious expression at all.
Empress Dowager Zhang could not help but ask Qin Zhongtang: "What do you think, Mr. Qin?"
Qin Dewei kicked the ball back directly, "Just listen to the Queen Mother's decision!"
Everyone was shocked. Qin Dewei did not take the opportunity to blackmail the Queen Mother, and actually had no objection to Yan Song's proposal!
There is not even a hint that there is something in the words, this is completely giving up the initiative!
If Empress Dowager Zhang repented on the spot and broke the tacit understanding of the political exchange just now, what would you, Qin Dewei, do?
