The back hall of Qianqing Palace.
When Zhu Youtang woke up, the sun outside had risen very high. The sunlight came in through the window paper. It was not dazzling, but also made Zhu Youtang feel warm.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Jing, who was standing by the dragon couch, saw the emperor open his eyes and hurriedly stepped forward.
Zhu Youtang smiled reluctantly, meaning that he was fine.
I heard someone in the outer hall still arguing, "It must be a deficiency of qi and blood. Deficiency of the spleen and stomach, a sallow complexion, and weakness of muscles and bones are the symptoms. It should be supplemented."
"No, Your Majesty should be suffering from Shaoyang deficiency, so he should nourish yin and replenish yang."
Probably they knew that the emperor fainted, and it didn't matter even if it was loud. It would be better if he woke up, which would save the need for needles and medicine.
Zhu Youtang couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, the decoction is ready. You can take it while it's hot." Xiao Jing said and was about to get the decoction.
Zhu Youtang stretched out his hand to indicate that there was no need.
The imperial doctors outside haven’t even figured out his condition yet, so the medicine here is ready to be drunk
Zhu Youtang is afraid of taking medicine.
"Where are the queen and the prince?" Zhu Youtang asked.
Xiao Jing said, "The Queen came to visit and learned that His Majesty was fine, and then returned to Kunning Palace. She also told His Majesty to rest more. The Crown Prince did not inform him."
"Oh." Zhu Youtang asked again, "Have all the ministers in the front hall dispersed?"
Xiao Jing said, "Yes. The ministers were very nervous when they saw His Majesty fainted. Liu Gelao lost his temper and reprimanded the officials in public, telling them to be careful in their words and deeds and not to make His Majesty's blood boil again. He also told them to go back to the Yamen and perform their duties."
Zhu. Youtang nodded with comfort in his heart and said, "With Mr. Liu Ge and the others stabilizing Chao Gang, I feel more relieved. I just didn't get a good rest last night. I was a little excited before. When I got up, I was too hasty and my blood was not up. I will rest for a while." , I have gained strength. Go and bring Bingkuan to the palace."
"Your Majesty"
Xiao Jing doesn't understand that you are sick at this time, so don't ask the doctor. , looking for Zhang Zhou
Zhu Youtang would not explain why he did this. He waved his hand, "By the way, I asked several imperial doctors to withdraw. I want to rest. Bingkuan will come and wake me up." ."
"Yes."
Xiao Jing quickly covered Zhu Youtang with another layer of quilt.
Zhu Youtang closed his eyes, with a look of intoxication on his face as if he was murmuring, "It's so warm."
When Zhang Zhou was ordered to the Qianqing Palace, not a single imperial doctor was left. At this time, Dai Yi and others were waiting in front of the back hall of Qianqing Palace after resting.
"Mr. Zhang, please come inside." Xiao Jing came out to greet him after hearing the news.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty is resting, so don't go in and disturb me."
Xiao Jing said with a smile, "Your Majesty is awake and eating. When he heard that Mr. Zhang was coming, he specifically asked Mr. Go in and talk.”
Only then did Zhang Zhou feel at ease.
I saw that Zhu Youtang was still on the dragon couch, but he had already sat down., leaning on a soft pillow, with a young eunuch serving porridge to his mouth with a spoon.
"Bingkuan is here"
Zhu Youtang was very happy to see Zhang Zhou. He motioned for someone to take the porridge bowl aside, then called Zhang Zhou to come in front of him and stretched out his hand. Hold Zhang Zhou's hand.
Zhang Zhoudeng was a little unnatural.
What kind of trick is this?
"Bingkuan, you are a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty. I admire you very much." Zhu Youtang said with a smile.
Zhang Zhou said, "I haven't saluted Your Majesty yet."
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "No, I asked you to come and ask you to diagnose my illness. Don't you have it?" Is it the art of rejuvenation? I want to hear your opinion on my condition."
"This"
Zhang Zhou looked at Dai Yi and Xiao Jing around him.
The two were equally stunned.
Not to mention Zhang Zhou, even Dai Yi and Xiao Jing now understood that the emperor urgently needed to find a new sustenance after losing his "spiritual sustenance" in Li Guang.
This choice naturally fell on Zhang Zhou, who crushed Li Guang in all aspects of strength and had been in the limelight recently.
The emperor was probably very insecure when he was a boy. When he grew up, he had the habit of being mentally dependent and always liked to find some human and material sustenance.
Zhang Zhou wanted to say it.
Your Majesty, you have a mental illness and you should see a psychiatrist. I can’t.
Besides, you have a wife and children, why are you trusting me?
Don’t think that I am a fairy.
I am just a poor scholar, very stingy.
Zhang Zhou said seriously, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to treat your illness, and I'm not good at it either."
"Haha."
Zhu Youtang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "You don't know how to consult, but you treat the princess and prevent the common people in the capital from the plague. Even the British prince, you ask Zhijie to deliver prescriptions, and others do their best." Say that you are capable, win the respect of others, and win my trust, but why do you have to look down on yourself?"
Zhang Zhou sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I am treating the princess. That is not to save the world, but to gain." I know how to prevent diseases. As for the illness of the British prince, I know the cause of the disease. As for your majesty's illness, please forgive me for being disrespectful. I know the root cause, but I have no way to deal with it."
Zhang Zhou looked serious. , different from the usual cheerful appearance.
Seeing this, Zhu Youtang knew that the situation was serious and became cautious, saying, "It's okay to just say it."
Dai Yi also said nervously, "Mr. Zhang, what if you don't say anything?" Tell me if you can prevent it."
Everyone in the room looked at Zhang Zhou with eager eyes.
Because Zhang Zhou had previously treated the little princess and predicted fire, he truly became a worldly expert in the eyes of others. Others could no longer take his words as a joke.
"Your Majesty, let me tell you straight, your Majesty is not ill, but poisoned."
Zhang Zhou came up and gave everyone present a dose of strong medicine.
"Ah"
Many people present looked stunned and frightened. Dai Yi's hand holding the memorial was trembling. Only Zhu Youtang looked normal.
"Say." Zhu Youtang said.
"Yes." Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty was poisoned by lead elixir. To put it bluntly, it was because your Majesty had been taking elixirs containing lead for a long time in the past few years. This elixir may have caused... Your Majesty is in high spirits, and your physical strength and energy are guaranteed, but after taking it for a while, your spirit will become sluggish, and then you will have to continue to rely on it, which will gradually eat away at your Majesty's body, making it worse day by day."
After listening to Zhang Zhou’s words, the people around him did not dare to speak.
Zhang Zhou was clearly targeting Li Guang.
It is said that the emperor was poisoned by a chronic poison administered by Li Guang.
Zhang Zhou is not without aim. He knows very well that looking at ancient civilizations around the world, whether it is ancient Rome, or Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, heavy metal poisoning represented by lead has become a killer of nobles. Europe likes to use lead. Barrels store wine, and bronzes from ancient Chinese civilizations contain lead residues during smelting.
Because lead is soft in texture and can be used as a vessel to make drinks and food more delicious, many nobles flocked to it.
Ordinary people cannot enjoy this kind of poisoning treatment.
So much so that this "aristocratic disease" makes it difficult for the aristocracy to live past thirty, with an average age of twenty-five.
By the Ming Dynasty, lead was rarely seen in daily utensils, but it is strange that almost all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty believed in immortality, so much so that they basically took elixirs, and the refining process of elixirs The need to use lead and other heavy metals also caused Ming emperors to generally die in their prime.
Strong medicine provides temporary relief.
The reason why Zhu Youtang had no children after the age of twenty-five was not because Queen Zhang could not have children, nor was it because he had no concubines.
But because he is really weak.
The more deficient you are, the more you want to take supplements, and the more supplements you take, the worse your body becomes, forming a vicious cycle, and you only live to the age of thirty-five. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
