Chapter 1,116 The Admiralty of the Navy is forced to take a rest
After Jérôme Bonaparte and Dicko discussed the military exercises, Basilio appeared in the room again, and behind him stood a group of doctors in white coats. They were the royal guards of the Tuileries Palace.
The team of doctors are also doctors from Union Hospital affiliated to Norinco Group.
When Minister Dicko saw the group of well-trained doctors in front of him, he couldn't help but start beating the drum in his calm heart. He was very afraid that he would lose his position as Lord of the Admiralty because of his illness.
Of course, the reason why Dick did not want to lose the Admiralty was not only his own desire for power, but more importantly, he had a heart that loved the Navy more than anyone else.
Dicko witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of the French Navy's overtaking in corners. The French Navy can be said to be his second child.
Dicko has not yet seen the French navy thrive, so he does not want to completely lose the position of Lord of the Navy yet.
"Your Majesty, actually I am not sick, I just need to take a rest!" Dicko explained to Jerome Bonaparte again, trying to dispel Jerome Bonaparte's determination to conduct routine examinations for him.
However, Dicko's explanation was not approved by Jérôme Bonaparte. Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Dicko mildly, "My dear minister, just accept the examination honestly!
I don’t want to see a minister with outstanding merits fall at his job!”
Jérôme Bonaparte's voice was not loud, but his words revealed a decisive meaning.
This made Minister Dicko give up the idea of persuading Jérôme Bonaparte to evade inspection. Dicko nodded and said that he would accept the inspection honestly.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who had done a good job in Dicko's psychological work, turned to look at the doctor, and he did not forget to praise Dicko and said, "You must check Minister Dicko carefully. Our minister is the backbone of the navy.
!”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" the leading doctor responded to Jerome Bonaparte in an extremely serious tone, "We will not miss every detail!"
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Jérôme Bonaparte told the doctor with a solemn expression and stretched out his hand to the doctor.
The doctor stretched out his hand in flattery and gently held his hands together.
Then, under the watchful eye of Jérôme Bonaparte, every doctor put on a sterilized flannel mask and white velvet gloves (current technology cannot produce disposable latex gloves, so high-temperature masks can only be used)
Sterilized gloves instead) came to Dicko.
Minister Dicko sat quietly on the sofa and allowed himself to be manipulated by the team of doctors.
The doctor opened the medical box on his arm and took out various medical instruments to "experiment" on Dicko. Two of the medical instruments were improved upon the suggestion of Jérôme Bonaparte.
, they are the stethoscope (invented in 1817) and the blood pressure monitor (invented in 1835).
(In Jérôme Bonaparte’s view, the examinations performed by doctors in the 19th century were very different from those performed in small clinics in later generations, but such examinations were considered to be particularly harsh examinations in the 19th century!)
After a simple routine examination of Dicko, the doctor took Jérôme Bonaparte aside and responded, "Your Majesty, after careful examination, we found that Minister Dicko's blood pressure
The blood pressure is much higher than that of ordinary people!”
The three words "hypertension" can pop into Jerome Bonaparte's mind.
The reason why Minister Dicko died suddenly in history was probably due to cerebral infarction caused by high blood pressure.
Even in later generations, there is no way to completely avoid this disease. Patients with cerebral infarction sometimes simply lie down on the table to rest, and they may die in the next second.
Many patients with cerebral infarction die unconsciously, leaving no time for rescue.
This will still be the case in future generations, let alone now.
Although Jérôme Bonaparte knew that the possibility of doctors in the 19th century being able to reduce high blood pressure was zero, he couldn't help but ask.
"Do you have any way to lower your blood pressure?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked the doctor with a hint of hope in his heart.
The doctor shook his head and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry! We have not yet developed a way to lower blood pressure!"
Jérôme Bonaparte showed a look of disappointment in his eyes, and then asked the doctor, "Dico, is he still able to continue to serve as Lord of the Navy in his current condition?"
"Your Majesty, we can't predict this!" the doctor replied to Jérôme Bonaparte again, and then he added, "As far as the cases we have at present, patients with higher blood pressure than normal people will not be affected by work.
It’s causing too much impact!”
"Okay! I understand!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded to the doctor.
Just when Jérôme Bonaparte wanted to end the conversation, he suddenly thought of something very important. He hurriedly told the doctor about Dicko's state just now, and asked the doctor whether Dicko suffered from "pulmonary disease".
"Tuberculosis" (the term tuberculosis was not coined until 1882. Currently, doctors can only find some lesions in the lungs of patients through autopsy)
"Your Majesty, based on my experience, Minister Dicko is not like a person suffering from this disease. Many patients with lung diseases have completely different symptoms from Minister Dicko!" The doctor said to Jérôme Bonnet cautiously.
Ba replied, "Of course, it is not ruled out that Minister Dicko actually suffers from this kind of disease. This remains to be carefully observed!"
"Okay! I understand! I will order someone to pay careful attention to Dicko's condition!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to the doctor.
Subsequently, Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Basilio to remove the team of doctors from the Tuileries Palace.
Only Jérôme Bonaparte and Dicko were left in the room again. At this moment, Dicko was very uneasy. He was afraid that he would hear the news of his dismissal from the emperor.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, Dicko showed an indifferent expression and said to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, I just said that I just didn't get enough rest. As long as you allow it,
I will go home and rest immediately, and I guarantee that I will be able to be full of energy again in a short time."
Jérôme Bonaparte, whose understanding of hypertensive disease was beyond his time, naturally would not believe what Minister Dick said. If hypertension could be solved so easily, there would not be so many tragedies in future generations.
Now Jérôme Bonaparte is weighing whether to let Dicko step down as Minister of the Navy. The emperor understands that as long as Dicko does not step down as Minister of the Navy, he will continue to work hard.
Sooner or later, Dicko will collapse at work from exhaustion like history did.
After repeated deliberation, Jérôme Bonaparte spoke to Dicko seriously, "Mr. Dicko, I hope you can fulfill your promise this time!
If I find that you are unable to fulfill your promise, then I will immediately remove you from your position!"
Looking at Jérôme Bonaparte with an extremely serious attitude in front of him, Dico knew that the emperor was no longer the same, and he might be serious about it this time.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely obey your arrangements!" Dico's expression also showed a meticulous look.
"Dico, I hope you can get off work on time in the future and don't overdraw your body!
If I find you staying up late and continuing to work again, then I will consider choosing another Lord of the Navy!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Dicko word by word, "This time I am serious, you don't have to worry.
Stay lucky!
I will convey this order to the Admiralty, and everyone in the Admiralty will help me monitor you!"
"Yes!" Minister Dico showed a wry smile.
Although Dicko also knew that the emperor did this for the sake of his health, for Dicko, who was an overtime maniac, this would undoubtedly cost him his life.
Now Jerome Bonaparte no longer wants to bargain with Dicko. He must make Dicko work hard to shine for the French Navy as much as possible while ensuring the safety of Dicko. He also does not want to lose such a person.
Excellent Lord of the Admiralty.
"Okay! It's getting late! You should go back and rest!"
On the orders of Jérôme Bonaparte, Dicko left the Tuileries Palace.
…
Time flew by and soon came to 1860.
After the cold current from the Arctic landed in France through the Strait of La Manche, the weather in Paris began to become even colder than before.
After a heavy snowfall, every street and alley is wrapped in crystal clear snowflakes, and the whole of Paris seems to be in a world of ice and snow.
There are fewer pedestrians on the streets than before. Every passerby walking in the snow is wearing a velvet coat, a plush felt hat, and a pair of velvet boots made of cowhide.
However, even though he was fully armed to this point, Hanfeng could still find ways to not let go of every inch of exposed skin or any crack.
Everyone walking on the street walks much faster than before.
In such severe cold weather, many bourgeois who originally lived in Paris have already left Paris and went to warmer areas to spend the winter.
By the beginning of the next spring, they were returning to Paris.
However, even in such cold temperatures, a high-ranking official arrived in Paris. He was Cavour.
As soon as Cavour checked into the hotel, he immediately wanted to go to the Tuileries Palace to meet with the French Emperor, regardless of the fatigue of the journey.
However, Cavour understood that it was impossible for him to meet the French Emperor directly now, and he needed an intermediary to connect him with the Emperor.
After thinking briefly, Cavour once again thought of the emperor's sister, Princess Mathilde.
Therefore, Cavour appointed an attendant to deliver a letter of visit to Princess Mathilde's mansion.
Cavour implicitly stated in the letter that he had not met Princess Mathilde for a long time, and he hoped to get Princess Mathilde's permission to visit Princess Mathilde at the mansion!
