Chapter 282: Suspense of coughing up blood inside and outside the palace (Eight Five)
"The Emperor coughed up blood and fainted!" This sentence shocked all six cabinet ministers in the main cabinet room on the spot.
Everything is fine, why did the emperor cough up blood, and even coughed up blood until he fainted? Although the emperor had said that he had foot problems and dizziness from time to time, most of them were thought by the foreign court that this was just the emperor trying to be lazy, rather than anything serious.
Problem.
To put it bluntly, even if it is a foot disease or dizziness, it is not a serious problem. It is indeed possible for minor illnesses to persist, but it is unlikely that a serious illness will lead to death.
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 very 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 generations of medicine have 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 tophi-related arthritis, 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 Qiangshi's opinion. It was even much milder than his father's symptoms before Gao Qiangshi traveled through time. It was not serious at all.
Because his father also suffered from gout in his previous life, Gao Qingshi knew very well 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 is to reduce the consumption of meat, game, seafood, yeast-containing foods and drinks, etc. Of course, there is another very
The key is to limit alcohol consumption.
During the fermentation process, alcohol consumes a lot 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 Jingjing drank with him several times when he met him alone.
Despite the dissuasion, Zhu Yijun wanted 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 royal 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 slightly higher level than ordinary beer. For many people who like wine, it is basically equivalent to drinking water. Because of this, many people in this life think that although it is highly pragmatic,
It's not a good drink, but it's a huge amount - no, 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 hemoptysis and coma could only be an accident. Considering the previous series of clues, Gao Pragmatic 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 at the instigation of Shen Yiguan.
But then, Gao Qingshi immediately realized that something might not be right, because he found that Shen Yiguan, who was sitting not far from him, had fine beads of sweat 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 he will never have such a performance ability. After all, even if he has been a pragmatic person for two generations, he can only control his emotional expression, facial expressions and some body language, and he will not
You can perform it casually even when you are sweating.
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: "Yuanfu, colleagues, no matter what happened,
It’s no time to delay, 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."
The ministers stood up one after another and urged Liu Ping to lead the way immediately. Liu Ping was actually more anxious than them, so he immediately led the way. 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 emperor did not need to personally direct and arrange the celebrations, so he chatted with the queen after arriving at Kunning Palace. At this time, the queen said goodbye to the "month", that is, the confinement period was over, and she could leave the room and move around. Therefore,
The emperor proposed to take a walk in the cloister with the empress.
In fact, it was just the New Year at this time, 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 agreed. This was the emperor's suggestion, so she agreed.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The emperor and empress left the queen's palace without even going down the steps. They walked around outside the West Nuan 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.
By coincidence, 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 if the queen wanted to go see the queen mother immediately.
The emperor had already replied that the queen was a little afraid of the cold, and he would go see her later. For now, he asked the queen mothers of the two palaces to take a rest in the front hall. However, the queen was a person who attached great importance to etiquette, so she felt that something was wrong and insisted. Go and see it immediately.
The emperor was helpless and saw that the queen's face seemed to be much rosier after putting on her cloak. She must have stopped being 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.
As soon as I walked away, I was out of the shelter of the building, and the northwest wind was blowing. The queen put on the fox crop cloak. She really didn't feel very cold at this moment. On the contrary, after the emperor took off the cloak, only the thickness was left. An ordinary coat makes your face turn pale.
The queen was very distressed when she saw this, and wanted to give the emperor her cloak 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 a python on the outside, which... was not what an emperor should wear.
This is actually a bit funny, because on one side the emperor refused to wear Chen Ju's cloak, and on the other hand the queen wore the emperor's cloak. However, the situation was actually different: Chen Ju's cloak was made according to the python robe, so the emperor wore it No, but the emperor's fox-cropped cloak does not have many heraldry, but the inside is bright yellow, and there is a dragon pattern on the chest.
Some people may ask: How can a queen wear a cloak with dragon patterns? But this is wrong, because it is actually very common for empresses of the Ming Dynasty to wear dragon patterns.
For example, in the portraits of several queens from the Ming Dynasty that have been preserved by later generations, two dragons are clearly painted on the crown of Queen Chen's Yanju of Emperor Jiajing of Emperor Shizong. The existing crowns of Queen Xiaoduan and Empress Xiaojing also have dragons on their crowns - —Of course, there are also queens in the shape of a phoenix.
[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, left and right sleeves and upper arms. I even counted them specially, and they were all five-clawed dragons. I It is estimated that she was buried with her later due to her promotion after she was posthumously crowned 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's 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 wall [Note: In ancient times, peppercorns were ground and mixed with mud.]
, the newly laid floor heating is also much more advanced than the previous ones.
At this time, because the Queen Mother of the two palaces came in, the floor heating was turned on to make it 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 very rare "family" liveliness, and the emperor was quickly infected. However, there were no other men in the palace. It was all women chatting at the moment, but the emperor himself interrupted
He 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. 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. Apparently, the wind blew again.
, after blowing, he entered the front hall like a furnace.
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 are here, no one in the two palaces will restrict the emperor from drinking, and the emperor because
He was happy that he could be in high spirits even when drinking alone, so he drank a whole jar of his favorite Qiulubai.
According to Gao Pingshi'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.
Who would have expected that not long after returning to Qianqing Palace, the emperor vomited. First he vomited wine and vegetables, and then he started coughing violently. After coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, his body went limp and he fainted on the spot.
.
These situations were all described by Liu Ping on the road, and all the ministers in the cabinet thought that the description was quite detailed.
The emperor liked to drink Qiulubai, which Gao Jingshi knew very well. When he drank with the emperor in Xinan 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 Qiulubai, could it be that it is brewed from the dew in the early morning in autumn?" The emperor laughed and said, "It turns out you don't understand something."
Then Gao Pragmatic explained that Qiulubai is not actually autumn wine. It is brewed in October every year and is a winter brew.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The emperor also said that it is true to brew it with dew. This method originated from Shandong. It was originally placed in a shallow dish in a place with lush green grass and the leaves hanging upside down.
Under the cliff, the dew on the grass blades was collected. However, the palace did not have such conditions. The people in the imperial wine shop just used some jade plates to hold some dew on Yuquan Mountain to make up the amount, so the wine may still be lacking.
flavor.
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 wine has been drunk by the emperor, but there is always some left at the bottom. Chen Zhangyin and Wang Factory Supervisor have already I ordered the wine jar to be well guarded, and ordered the royal doctor to examine it when the slaves came to invite you gentlemen. I believe you gentlemen will 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, there was obviously the possibility of a cold. Because the empress dowagers of the two palaces were there, the floor heating was turned on too hot, which made it obvious to the emperor that it was hot and cold.
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... then I'm afraid it won't be much better, 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 his prime 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 and not learned any medical skills.
Gao Pingshi frowned, and as he walked, he glanced at Shen Yiguan again.
Coincidentally, Shen Yiguan also glanced at Gao Pangshi with a frown on his face.
