The queen has always been suffering from qi ailments.
"I pay homage to Her Majesty the Queen," Huaiyu looked at the Queen's appearance on the sick bed and was also very surprised. He knew that Queen Changsun had always suffered from qi disease and her health was never very good. She had a delicate body like a sick Xi Shi. He also once sang
When Jiang was out on a spring outing, he heard the queen perform a spring outing song. There was a line called "Learn from the tender willows beside the eaves and make yourself light."
At that time, the queen's body was as delicate as a sick Xi Shi, but now she is described as gaunt and thin.
Empress Changsun was only in her early thirties, but she had already given birth to several children. Although she was seriously ill, she still had the noble temperament of a mother who cared about the world. "I'm sorry that I can't greet Wu.
In fact, I am not seriously ill. This qi disease is also an old disease. I will be fine if I rest and recuperate. It is also hard for the Prime Minister to come back to Beijing all the way from Lingnan..."
"This is what I should do. It's my fault that I came late."
Huaiyu said, without any more nonsense, he began to consult the queen.
Wu Huaiyu listened carefully and carefully, and summoned the imperial doctor to serve him. He asked about the medicine the queen had been using recently. The emperor and the prince stayed in front of the bed, and although they were concerned, they did not dare to disturb her in the slightest.
for a long time,
"The Queen is indeed suffering from a gas attack,"
Empress Changsun smiled. Her face was pale, but her smile was strong. She seemed not to be defeated by the disease. Instead, she comforted the emperor and the prince, telling them not to worry.
Li Shimin said nothing in front of the queen,
"Queen, have a good rest, I will prescribe the medicine."
quit.
Arriving in another hall, Cheng Qian couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what's going on with the Queen Mother?"
Li Shimin also looked at Huaiyu.
"The situation is more complicated."
In front of the patient, Huaiyu no longer concealed it.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen's condition is mainly due to qi disease."
Qi diseases in traditional Chinese medicine have no corresponding name in modern medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, they are not an independent disease, but systemic diseases, which mainly include diseases of the respiratory system, circulatory system, and lymphatic system. Diseases are mainly caused by disorders of these systems.
Mainly diseases of the heart, liver, and gallbladder.
Qi diseases are hereditary. Not only does the family of Queen Changsun have hereditary qi diseases, but the royal family Li also has hereditary qi diseases, and even has wind diseases.
"Speak clearly and slowly," Li Shimin said calmly.
The so-called long-term illness makes the queen sick. She has seen various famous doctors and used various prescriptions over the years. Li Shimin also understands the queen's condition relatively well. The problem now is that the queen's condition is particularly serious this time.
Both the Shang Yao Bureau and the Imperial Medical Office of Taichang Temple were helpless this time.
The emperor could only place his hope on Wu Huaiyu, the apprentice of the land god Xiaoyaozi.
Wu Huaiyu also examined the queen's qi disease more than once. He had also prescribed and used medicine before, and the effect was even good, but this time the outbreak was very serious.
Qi in traditional Chinese medicine is linked to the five internal organs, including lung qi, heart qi, liver qi, spleen qi, and kidney qi. Diseases caused by the five qi are all classified as qi diseases.
Asthma, cough, etc. belong to the category of lung qi.
The queen had a congenital qi disease and was already weak. Her father died when she was eight years old. Her mother was Xu Xian. Their mother, daughter and brother Wuji were kicked out of the house by their half-brother, and they had no choice but to seek refuge with their uncle Gao Shilian.
Fortunately, she entered into a marriage contract with the second son of the Duke of Tang when she was young. When she was thirteen, she married Li Shimin, who was three years older.
Later, my uncle Gao Shilian was exiled to Jiaozhi, my aunt was seriously ill, and my mother-in-law Dou fell ill unexpectedly. Her eldest grandson had to be taken care of by both parties, which was very difficult for the young bride.
Weak since childhood, he was kicked out of the house when he was young and had to live with others. He got married at the age of thirteen and frequently took care of the family. After Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan, the eldest grandson took on the responsibility of taking charge of the family affairs.
During the Wude years, he had to deal with Li Yuan's beloved concubines to fight for space for her husband.
Years of hard work have made the queen's health not good, and her breathing problems are getting worse and worse.
After his marriage, he also gave birth to several children, and his Qi and blood loss was quite serious. Especially when he gave birth to his second daughter, Princess Chengyang, it was difficult to give birth and he suffered from massive postpartum hemorrhage and lost half of his life.
What happened between the emperor and the prince some time ago made the already weak queen even worse. It gave the queen a double blow and aggravated her qi disease, which was difficult to cure for a while.
Various circumstances have led to the Queen's current serious illness.
But in the final analysis, it was still Qi disease. Of course, the psychological blow was also huge. After all, Cheng Qian was the empress's eldest son and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. So many things had happened recently. The emperor was disappointed, and the empress was more worried.
Moreover, Li Shimin deliberately doted on King Li Tai of Wei to put pressure on the prince. This made the queen feel more burdened. After all, Cheng Qian and Li Tai were both her biological sons, and their palms and backs were full of flesh. Now the two brothers had a rift, and even
It's a bit like the fratricidal situation between Li Shimin and Jiancheng Yuanji, but the queen is not in a hurry or in pain.
Empress Changsun in history passed away in the tenth year of Zhenguan.
And now it is the sixth year of Zhenguan.
Huaiyu explained all this carefully, inside and out.
"Body illnesses are easy to cure, but mental illnesses are difficult to cure."
"Your Majesty, although the Queen's condition is mainly due to qi disease, the physical depletion over the years has also made the qi disease more susceptible to attacks. Recently, the Queen has suffered from a heart disease, which has made matters worse."
"Heart disease still needs heart medicine."
Taking this opportunity, Wu Huaiyu took the initiative to speak out some sensitive topics in front of the two men.
Father and son, brother, husband and wife, mother and son...
Li Shimin thought more about the country, the country, the world, and the court, but the queen paid more attention to her family and family ties.
The current situation makes the queen very sad, her heart is heavy, her energy is even worse, her body is already exhausted, and she can no longer hold on, creating a vicious cycle.
After Li Shimin listened, he was silent. The emperor's eyes were red, his lips were chapped, and he was sitting there in a daze. Of course he listened to Wu Huaiyu's words and understood them.
He and his eldest grandson, the Queen, were engaged when they were young. When he was sixteen, he married the thirteen-year-old Queen. Six years later, their first child, Cheng Qian, was born.
The couple has been married for nearly twenty years,
They can be considered an old couple, but they are both still in their early thirties, which is still considered young. In the early years, the couple actually spent less time together and separated more. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Shimin also led troops abroad for a long time.
"This is an unfilial son." Cheng Qian knelt down to his father with red eyes, thinking about his mother's anger getting worse because of him, the young man cried.
In the past, for the sake of Qin Ying and the others, I had a grudge against my father, and even ignored my mother's repeated attempts to persuade her when she was ill. Now I regret it.
"Teacher, help me save my mother. I will get whatever medicinal materials I need."
Huaiyu sighed, "In fact, the most critical thing about the queen's situation is the medicine stone."
"As the saying goes, physical illness is easy to cure, but mental illness is difficult to cure. You must first treat the mental illness and then the physical illness. First, let the Queen resolve the depression in your heart..."
Li Shimin also sighed, then stretched out his hand to help Cheng Qian, "Dalang, your mother is most worried about you. Only when you are sensible will your mother feel relaxed."
"Father, it is my son who is unfilial, my son who is ignorant, and my son who is wrong," Cheng Qian cried.
"It's not too late for Your Highness to understand this now," Huaiyu said with some relief.
Li Shimin nodded with red eyes. Cheng Qian's change made him very happy. He stretched out his hand to stroke his beard. The emperor, who always carefully groomed his beard, was not in the mood to take care of his beard during this period. It had grown shapeless.
Huaiyu stood nearby, watching the scene of father and son being reconciled, and said with a smile, "I will give you the first prescription. Your Majesty will give you the three princes and two princesses born to your mother-in-law, as well as the princess who was raised by you personally.
Invite everyone to come and have a meal with the queen,"
A family of eight can have a meal together so that the queen can experience the warmth of the family. The most important thing is for the queen to see the reconciliation between the emperor and the prince, and also between the prince and the King of Wei.
Li Shimin nodded, "Lao Qingyang will cook this meal yourself. Make a few simple side dishes and accompany us."
Of course Wu Huaiyu could not refuse the emperor's request. He readily agreed, and then went to prepare. The emperor also sent people to bring Wei Wang Li Tai, Jin Wang Li Zhi, Changle Princess Li Lizhi, Chengyang Princess, and adopted daughter Princess Yuzhang.
Call us together.
Huaiyu prepared a table of dishes and sent them to the Li Zheng Hall.
Li Shimin smiled and brought his three sons and three daughters to the queen, "I specially asked Qingyang to cook for this table. Chengqian, Qingque, and Changle all helped out. The children all remember what you like to eat."
As for the dishes, today’s table is full of your favorites.”
The queen looked at the six children, especially when she saw Cheng Qian and Li Tai holding hands and acting like brothers and sisters. Her face couldn't help but reveal surprise. The queen was extremely pleased, and two lines of hot tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
