Chapter 902 Unlucky Child
Author: Dongfanghong is undefeated
Dianyu? Chu Qing remembered Chen Dianyu who had treated him for a severe cold.
At that time, it was to send the emperor a map of the whole country of Voss. As a result, he caught a cold on the road and became more and more serious. Finally, the emperor reported the illness to Chen Dianyu.
Chu Qing looked at Li Hu. Chen Dianyu's age... I'm afraid he is a bit young to be Li Hu's father, right? This Li Hu looked to be in his forties.
Besides, my surname is Chen, not Li.
"My father was Li Hongtao, the emperor during the late emperor's time. My name is Li Fu. Because 'Fu' and 'Hu' have the same pronunciation in Ganzhou, I changed my name," Li Hu said.
Oh, Emperor Qingde's father's personal physician.
Li Hu: "At that time, although the late emperor was seriously ill, it was not incurable. However, the princes could no longer suppress each other and made the fight obvious."
My son is worried about the family property and fights secretly on weekdays. My father is seriously ill and can't take care of things. The secret fight turns into an open fight. Well, I can understand it.
Isn't this the case for the old Huang Zhong family? It's just not so obvious, after all, his family has no throne to inherit.
Li Hu's mood suddenly became unstable, and his breath became a little short: "It's enough for them to win over the courtiers and form their own parties, but why do they involve the doctors who treat diseases and save people into the fight?
In the eyes of a doctor, there should only be symptoms, not those intrigues!"
In order to control the situation of the old emperor at close range, the princes not only fought against each other between the forces in the DPRK and China, but also included the imperial doctors who could get close to the emperor.
Doctors, either for glory or wealth, or to save themselves and their families, have become spies, working for others and framing each other.
Li Hu: "The princes were scheming, and the pharmacopoeia was changed again and again. When it came to my father, he was determined not to be manipulated by anyone, and he only wanted to cure the late emperor's disease;
At that time, I happened to be admitted to Shang Yao Bureau and became a medical assistant. At that time, my father told me that although the late Emperor's illness was serious, he could get better as long as he took good care of it, and there would be no problem if he persisted for at least five or six years.
;
It's just that there were many concerns about treating the emperor, and the medication would inevitably be too mild. If an ordinary person was older than the late emperor, he would dare to increase the dosage of medication;
But he was the emperor after all, and before my father, because of the fight between the princes, one said that one poisoned the late emperor, and the other said that he manipulated the Shang Yao Bureau and killed four emperors, so my father did not dare to let go.
heal."
This is also understandable.
Not to mention that it was the emperor, even when he was treating Huang Zhong, who was the Marquis of Linyang, the doctor considered the prescription again and again, and reduced the dose again and again, as if he was afraid that he could cure the disease.
Li Hu continued: "But this won't work. If the emperor is not good, the princes will make trouble, and my father will be in danger.
If you can't cure it, you may not lose your head, but if you are framed for colluding with a certain prince, it will definitely be fatal. Even if you are fine at the time, when the person on the throne changes, our family will be...
He may be cured, but he doesn't dare to take medicine. He just keeps dragging on, and the princes take turns to threaten and induce him. How long can my father hold on? If he agrees, he will die. If he doesn't, he will die. It's no good!"
Xiaobao: "How did your father do it?"
Li Hu's voice became even more indignant: "My father was originally thinking about how to cure the late emperor, but the princes kept forcing my father to side with them...
Including the current emperor, who had just become the crown prince at that time!
My father didn't want to agree to them, but he was afraid of hurting his family, so he was hesitant. Especially when I entered Shang Yao Bureau, my father regretted it.
So he wanted to expel me from Shang Yao Bureau first, so as to leave a root for the Li family;
The emperor's illness was not allowed to be reported to anyone else, not even to his own family;
But I am a medical assistant, and I am also responsible for treating diseases, so I had the opportunity to secretly retrieve the late emperor's pulse and study it. I felt that my father was right, and the dosage of medicine should be increased;
So, taking advantage of the shortage of manpower in the Shang Yao Bureau, I took the initiative to take over the errand of delivering medicine to the late emperor and exchanged medicine packages..."
Xiaobao: "Have you changed the medicine?"
Li Hu: "Yes, I changed the medicine. It's still the same medicine. It's just that I made up the amount of medicine, took it through, and sent it over;
Sure enough, as my father said, if the dosage was increased, the late emperor obviously improved. He also woke up that day and could speak a few words. Who would have thought...
Who would have thought that that night, it was the prince's turn to take care of his illness, and the late emperor woke up in the middle of the night and complained that he was hungry. It was a good sign that he felt hungry, but at that time he should have made up for his illness with a meal of decoction;
The late emperor said that he could not eat anything else after drinking the decoction, and his mouth was really bitter. The prince then gave the late emperor porridge and water, but he did not expect that the porridge had been cooked with pinellia;
After that, I went to give medicine again, and Pinellia ternata clashed with the aconite in the medicine of the late emperor. Soon the emperor could not speak clearly, could not see people clearly, and became dizzy.
The prince was immediately criticized by other princes. Although the prince sincerely hoped that the late emperor would get better, because he had just been enthroned not long ago, his foundation was unstable, and he still needed the support of the late emperor;
But he couldn't find out why there was pinellia in that bowl of porridge, and because the late emperor fainted while taking medicine, the prince, in order to protect himself, put the responsibility on me!
Later, although the late emperor woke up after receiving treatment, his body became even weaker;
My father annoyed them because he didn't agree to any of the prince's requests, and they couldn't immediately find evidence of the prince's crime, so my father and I were thrown into prison!
In order to let me survive, my father said that he was dazzled and took the wrong medicine, which had nothing to do with me. This way he spared my life. My father was executed, I was beaten, and my whole family was raided and exiled;
Our family was simple, with only three people: my parents and me. As soon as my father died, my mother fell ill and was exiled before leaving the suburbs of Beijing.
Because I had been practicing martial arts since I was young, even though I was beaten and bruised all over my body, I still persisted all the way. I fell ill when I was approaching Ganzhou;
Although the escorts who escorted me were unwilling to treat me, they did not want to kill me. They asked for a handful of clams from the fishermen to wrap my belly;
Unexpectedly, after eating it, I could hardly breathe and passed out;
They thought I died on the road, so they returned;
I was saved by my life, but I met a thousand-year-old master who passed by there and saved me."
Oh, what an unlucky boy!
"Uncle Tiger, you are allergic to seafood!" Xiaobao exclaimed.
Eating even one clam can make you faint. I'm afraid I'm allergic to seafood.
Li Hu did not take the blame and continued: "The thousand-year master and the two senior brothers have saved many people like me, many of whom were officials or children who were implicated in the fights between the princes;
There are also local fishermen who can't survive, fugitives who have been convicted of murders, and even heroes who have been killed;
He took us all into the shipyard, so that we could not only have enough food to eat, but also receive wages so that we could survive;
Master is gone, and now, seeing that senior brother Chao Liu is not in good shape, we would like to ask Marquis Linyang to find a way to get senior brother out of the shipyard."
Building cannons for the imperial court is a technical job that lasts a lifetime. How can you leave just now?
Chu Qing didn't say anything. She wasn't sure whether to help or not. She wanted to see what Xiaobao wanted first.
If these people are very important to Xiaobao, they will naturally have to help, but the help must be within their ability. Moreover, the matter happened suddenly, and Chu Qing had not thought of any solution.
If these people are not that important to Xiaobao, how to reject them without damaging Xiaobao's dignity is also a question that needs to be considered.
