"His Majesty is not feeling well today, so he will not attend court for a day. If the officials have urgent matters, hand over the memorials to Minister Fang and Minister Du to deal with them!"
Outside Taiji Palace.
The officials who had been waiting for a long time without seeing Li Erzhao and the others enter the palace suddenly received such a decree. They couldn't help but discuss in private.
"What's going on today? Duke Qi didn't come, Duke Lu didn't come, Duke E (Yuchi Jingde) didn't come, and now His Majesty didn't come either! "
(In the first year of Zhenguan, Zhangsun Wuji was promoted to Minister of Appointments and was awarded the title of Duke Qi.)
"Something big must have happened! Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has always been diligent and loved the people. There has never been a situation where he didn't attend morning court! "
"What big thing can happen? Besides, even if something happened, it's impossible for so many officials to not come at the same time, right? "
Fang Xuanling saw the commotion below and couldn't help but stand up and say loudly, "Colleagues, if you have something, please hand over the memorials to me. If there is nothing, please return to your offices and do your duties ~!"
As the Prime Minister of the Empire, Fang Xuanling still had a lot of prestige. As soon as his voice fell, the officials immediately quieted down.
Qin Qiong's eyes flashed and he turned to leave without saying a word. He also felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to go to Cheng Mansion and Yuchi Mansion to take a look.
… … …
"Damn, you are all a bunch of quacks. You don't give my son food, do you want him to starve to death ~?"
Cheng Mansion backyard.
Cheng Yaojin slammed his palm on the stone table in the courtyard and said angrily with his eyes red.
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone table exploded from the middle with a bang and scattered on the ground.
The imperial physician in front of him said helplessly, "Duke Lu, please calm down. Your son can't eat now! You are harming him by letting people feed him! To tell you the truth, His Highness Prince Wei is also using the same treatment method! "
Cheng Yaojin said angrily, "Nonsense! I only know that if a person doesn't eat, they won't last many days! You bunch of quacks can't save people, but you are still harming people here ~! "
"Duke Lu, if you insist on letting your son eat, he won't last three days. If he doesn't eat, he can last at least five more days!"
The Imperial Physician said angrily.
Anyone who was scolded by Cheng Yaojin as a quack and a quack would also be annoyed!
"Master, don't say anymore. Let's listen to the imperial physician!"
Madam Cheng wiped her tears and pulled her husband who had lost his mind.
"Hmph! Listen to my ass! Steward, immediately send someone to Cloud Mountain and invite Little Xuan over! "
Cheng Yaojin flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
"Marquis of Yong 'an? If Duke of Lu invites the Marquis of Yong 'an over, there might still be a chance to turn things around ~! "
When the imperial physician heard Cheng Yaojin mention Li Zexuan, his eyes lit up as he muttered in his heart.
…
"Marquis, Marquis, bad news, something big has happened!"
Cloud Mountain Villa.
Li Zexuan was having breakfast with his family in the living room when he heard Pang Feiji's wailing outside.
"What's the fuss about? Come, come, come, have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't, let's sit down and eat together! "
Li Zexuan looked at Pang Feiji, who was panting at the door, and said angrily.
"Marquis, what time is it now? You … you should stop eating. Something big has happened. Quickly follow me into the city!"
Pang Feiji waved his hand and complained helplessly.
Li Zexuan asked curiously, "What happened? Why are you so anxious ~? "
Pang Feiji saw that Li Zexuan didn't seem to care, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Marquis, I've received news that Prince Wei, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and Sun Zifan contracted cholera at the same time yesterday. Their lives are hanging by a thread, and they are in imminent danger! Marquis, quickly go and take a look! "
"Cholera ~!"
Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li, and Han Yuxi's expressions changed drastically when they heard this. Li Zexuan was also shocked. He subconsciously thought that Pang Feiji was talking nonsense. The memory of his previous life told him that cholera was only introduced into China at the end of the Qing Dynasty! How could such an acute infectious disease appear in this era?
However, from the memory of this body, Li Zexuan found that there were already records of cholera in medical books from before!
After carefully comparing the memories of the two lives in his mind, Li Zexuan realized that this cholera was not the same cholera. There was a substantial difference between the two.
The cholera that modern people talked about usually referred to Huleela, which was an acute diarrheal disease caused by contaminated food or water ingested by Vibrio cholerae. In the TV series "Chuangguandong," the Japanese child Ichiro was saved by Xiu Er, but was thrown out by her father because Ichiro might have gotten Huleela.
Scholars believed that the cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae, or Huleela, was introduced into China in 1820, the 25th year of the Qing Dynasty. According to Song Rulin in the preface of Lin Sen's "Complete Cholera Diseases," he said, "In the autumn of Jiaqing Gengchen (1820), many people vomited and had diarrhea. The following year, Xinsi became even more severe." It also said, "This disease began in Guangdong, and this year in Fujian and Taiwan, the patients were especially severe."
In the seven major cholera epidemics in the world, China was always the most severely affected area. During the two epidemics, there were many patients, and many died. During the Qing Dynasty, cholera was very contagious. Sometimes, when a coffin was carried to the funeral, he died before the coffin was carried to the place. This was a situation that occurred continuously in Dandong (called Andong at that time) 20 years after the Qing Dynasty.
However, the "cholera" mentioned by the ancients did not completely correspond to Huleela. It could be a simple symptom of vomiting and diarrhea, like the acute gastroenteritis that was common in summer and autumn. The so-called "cholera" was sudden. The so-called "cholera" was a sudden illness that occurred suddenly. This term existed before the Han Dynasty, and was not translated from modern times.
As early as in the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor", there were already records of cholera. For example, the "Spiritual Pivot · Five Chaos" chapter said, "When the stomach is in chaos, it is cholera." The "Suwen · Qi Communication Theory" said, "When the earth is not old enough, the people suffer from cholera." The "Suwen · Six Elements of the Righteous Era" said, "When the moon is full of cholera, it vomits."
The plague that the army suffered in the process of marching was mostly cholera. When cholera occurred, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Before the war even began, most of them were already dead.
With regards to cholera, the ancients mainly focused on prevention and treatment as a supplement. In general, there was no special treatment for this kind of Class A infectious disease. During the Taihe Period of the Jin Dynasty, the monks of Guangji Temple suffered from cholera. A necromancer used monkshood and dried ginger to cure them. After drinking it, they forced out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then died.
Therefore, when the medical officials of the Imperial Medical Department faced Li Tai whose life was hanging by a thread, they were collectively helpless. It was not that they were incompetent, but that the cholera was too strong!
"Where is the Marquis of Yong 'an? His Majesty summons you to return to Chang 'an immediately! "
At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside, waking Li Zexuan from his daze.
