When Yunxi said this, Xiyao was moved but also a little funny. She asked the palace maid to stand at the door and asked softly: "Husband, can you still reduce the risk of having children?" Although it was a serious topic, Xi Yao
Yao just wanted to laugh a little.
Yunxi made her want to laugh a little bit, so she tried her best to keep a straight face and said, "Be serious." But Yunxi laughed first.
When he started to laugh, Xiyao also laughed. The couple's laughter surprised the maid at the door.
However, they did not laugh for long and stopped laughing one after another. Yunxi said: "I am not a gynecologist, so of course I don't understand how to give birth. But I can still reduce the risk."
At this time, Zhang Hao, the eunuch beside Yunxi, stood at the door and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen, the envoy Zhang Yuan, the judge Tang Yuan, and the imperial doctor Liu are here."
Yunxi said: "They are here?" Then he said to Xiyao: "In that case, let's go out too. We have something to tell them both." He pulled Xiyao to stand up.
Xiyao took Yunxi's hand and stood up in confusion, then followed him to the front hall.
In the front hall, Zhang Qingming, the envoy of the imperial hospital, Tang Delu, the court magistrate, and Liu Chun, the imperial doctor, were talking.
Liu Chun said: "Why did your Majesty call us all here? He just finished diagnosing Concubine Xue's pulse not long ago."
"And it's not like anyone wants to treat a disease."
Tang Delu said: "We are not asked to leave the palace to treat illnesses. That is not right. There is no need to call us here."
Of course Zhang Qingming was also wondering about this matter, but as an envoy, he did not speak easily.
They didn't wait long before Yunxi and Xiyao came over. They hurriedly saluted and said: "The envoy of Chen Tai Hospital (judge, imperial physician) Zhang Qingming (Tang Delu, Liu Chun) has met your majesty and the queen.
Empress."
Yunxi said: "I'm free of charge."
Then Yunxi and Xiyao sat down, Yunxi sat in the middle, and Xiyao sat on his left.
Yunxi said: "I asked several 'medical ministers' to come here today because I have something to explain to them."
"Blood is necessary for people. People who lose too much blood will die. A few days ago, the princess almost had a difficult delivery and had hidden bleeding. I was very worried and thought about how to solve this problem."
"In this way, a few days ago, I suddenly remembered a method called blood transfusion that I saw in an ancient book."
"Blood transfusion?" The three imperial doctors below looked at each other. Liu Chun, as the imperial physician with the highest medical skills recognized by the existing imperial hospital, said: "Your Majesty, I have seen in ancient books that people who bleed excessively drink blood to replenish blood.
, but this didn’t work. Most people who drank blood still bled to death. Among the few who didn’t die, many doctors believed that they could survive even without drinking blood.”
Yunxi said: "I know that drinking blood is not possible. I am talking about blood transfusion."
"A blood transfusion is to use a thin tube to connect the blood vessels of two people, or to take blood from one person and put it into the blood vessel of another person."
The three imperial doctors looked at each other again. They had never heard of the method Yunxi said, and they needed to think about it to organize their words.
Then Tang Delu said: "Your Majesty, doctors of previous generations also cut open blood vessels, but the blood immediately splattered out and could not be stopped."
However, he pondered for a moment and said: "However, there are cases where the blood does not splash after the blood vessel is cut, and the bleeding can be stopped. However, the records in the ancient books are vague, and I don't know which blood vessel is affected."
Although human anatomy has become more and more restricted due to the development of Chinese civilization, early Chinese medicine also performed dissection. And the Mongolian Yuan people did not have as many taboos as the Han people, so the human body structure was recorded in medical books, and they all knew it.
Yunxi thought: 'It turns out that ancient Chinese medicine also recognized the difference between veins and arteries. It's really unexpected.'
Then Yunxi said: "Don't worry about it for now. Since there are cases where blood does not splash after the blood vessel is cut, then blood transfusion is feasible."
"In addition, ancient books also say that blood is divided into many types. If blood of different types enters the body, a person will die."
"At that time, I wanted to continue reading, but it turned out that the ancient book was just a fragment, and the bottom part was missing. So I didn't know how to identify the type of blood."
Liu Chun asked excitedly: "Your Majesty, what is the title of this book?"
Yunxi said: "I forgot. I also forgot where this book is hidden."
Liu Chun looked disappointed. However, Zhang Qingming immediately said: "Your Majesty just said it, and it is also a blessing for medicine." Blood transfusion is indeed something that has never been considered by people; and this at least adds a life-saving method.
It might not work, but it's better than nothing.
Yunxi added: "In addition, the book also says that strong alcohol can be used for cleaning. Using strong alcohol to wipe utensils can be similar to boiling water to prevent diseases."
At this time, Chinese medicine still knows that boiling water has a disinfecting effect. It is certain that people with conditions can use boiling water for household disinfection during childbirth. However, they have not yet understood the disinfection effect of alcohol.
So Liu Chun said: "I have never heard of this either."
Zhang Qingming said: "I don't know what your Majesty said. Doctors' lives are at stake, and they still need to conduct experiments. I can talk to my friends in the capital and let them try it when patients come."
"It's just a blood transfusion. It's just for use when there is no other way. But cleaning with strong alcohol, if it is useless, it will be life-threatening! This must be done."
After all, medicine is directly related to people's lives. Even if Zhang Qingming wants to flatter him, he has to consider the possibility of death from treating people, so he speaks very cautiously.
Yunxi still has a major medical initiative that he has not mentioned yet, but he is not in a hurry about that matter. Yunxi plans to take it slow and wait until they believe the two points he said before he implements it.
At this time, Xiyao suddenly said with happiness in her heart: "Concubine Xue will give birth next month. You have to prepare for blood transfusion. In case of heavy bleeding, there is a life-saving method." Xiyao concluded that Yunxi would never stop it, and she cared about herself.
My sister was afraid that if she gave birth early tomorrow, the hospital would not have time to prepare, so she blurted it out right away.
Zhang Qingming, Tang Delu and Liu Chun immediately bowed and said: "Yes, empress."
Yunxi originally wanted to say it himself, but Xiyao said it first, so he could save himself some trouble.
Yunxi had nothing more to say and asked them to go down and prepare on their own and discuss with other imperial doctors. However, Yunxi still had something to say to Xiyao.
After several imperial doctors withdrew, only Yunxi and Xiyao were left in the palace. Yunxi said to Xiyao: "Actually, although I didn't read how to distinguish different types of blood from ancient books, I thought of it myself.
Find a way."
Xiyao immediately said: "Husband, why didn't you just talk to the three imperial doctors?" She was not so calm when it came to her sister.
Yunxi said: "Since different types of blood entering the body will lead to death, then conversely, if the person does not die after the blood enters the body, most of the blood types will be the same."
"Then you can take a small amount of blood from Xiyi in advance and transfuse it into different people. If the person is not dead, the blood type will be the same. If Xiyi needs blood, you can take blood from this person and transfuse it into Xiyi's body."
"But, after all..."
Yunxi didn't say the last half of the sentence, but Xiyao already knew what he meant.
In ancient China, the emperor was also called "sage" or "sage", which implicitly meant that the emperor should have noble conduct like a saint.
Since he is a saint, he cannot bring up things like drawing blood that harm his moral character for personal gain. Historically, when Xuanye was the emperor, the Han ministers were not even as good as slaves, but Xuanye did not dare to openly support coming to China.
The anatomy of Western medicine is only secretly supported.
Now Yunxi's authority is not as good as that of Xuan Ye in history. For the sake of his own reputation, he cannot even make this suggestion.
As a queen, Xiyao cannot bring up such a matter. After thinking for a moment, Xiyao said: "Husband, I can only ask the trusted female officer around Xiyi to bring up this matter."
"Xiyi's maids, Early Spring and Late Autumn, are very trustworthy. When I return, I will explain to them and let one of them raise this matter."
Yunxi said: "Okay. Then the maids in the palace will select someone. Xiyao, I will leave this matter to you."
"Most of the people who choose will die due to different types of blood entering their bodies. The compensation should be generous so as not to harm the harmony of the world. People of the same type should also be treated kindly and not treated lightly."
Xiyao said seriously: "I will make all the arrangements."
Yunxi said a few more words, said goodbye to Xiyao and returned to his Qianqing Palace.
In fact, Yunxi's idea is not safe. If Xiyi happens to be unlucky enough to have type O blood, then it is possible that her blood is transfused into other people's bodies, and the others will be fine; but if other people's blood is transfused into her body, there is a possibility that something will happen to her.
But Yunxi couldn't think of a more useful method, so he had to do this.
Yunxi returned to Qianqing Palace and ordered someone to call Wang Bu.
After a while, Wang Bu came. After saluting, he asked, "Why did your Majesty call this servant?"
Yunxi said: "Now you are directly managing the punishment of the eunuchs in the inner palace, right?"
Wang Bu said: "Yes, Your Majesty, it is the slave who is directly in charge."
Yunxi said: "I discovered a new cleaning method in ancient books, using strong alcohol..."
"But the method in the ancient book may not necessarily be correct. You need to try it."
"You are now in charge of the ceremonial department and in charge of punishments. Try it on the eunuchs who have committed crimes to see if this method is effective."
Yunxi was also worried. The so-called strong alcohol at this time did not meet the medical alcohol standards of later generations, and it was uncertain whether it would have the effect he expected, so Yunxi decided to let Wang Bu give it a try.
As the chief eunuch, Wang Bu was naturally not a soft-hearted person. He did not care at all that someone might die. He bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will test the results as soon as possible."
