Chapter 85 Section 85

The northwest wind was very strong that day, and the emperor was weak and caught a cold. He had a fever that night, so he immediately called Li Deli to ask for pulse. "Although it's fierce, it's only a matter of a day or two," Li Deli said indifferently, "The emperor has suffered from a cold, and the weather has been bad these days. 'Bitter cold turns dryness into fire', so the emperor bowed without hesitation. Take the medicine while it is hot, and it will immediately reduce the fever." "What do you say? Not so fast, is it?" "As long as it's a cold, the minister's prescription will definitely work."

That is to say, if it doesn't work, it must not be a cold. This seems to be nonsense, but the meaning is beyond the words, and the emperor doesn't feel it. The night passed, the cold and heat remained, even the empress dowagers were alarmed, the emperor just kowtowed on the pillow, saying that the empress dowagers were restless and restless. "I think let the emperor move back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it's warmer there." Empress Dowager Ci'an said. "That's not bad!" Empress Dowager Cixi agreed, and immediately ordered people to move the emperor to the West Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

First treat it as a common cold, nothing more than a fever and dispersal, but for three days in a row, the fever persists, just complaining of thirst, back pain, and difficulty in urinating. An unspeakable hidden disease, but when the hidden disease occurs, it is not such a sign.Careful research, only to observe changes. Two days later, he also suffered from constipation. At the same time, there were purple spots on the neck, shoulders and back. Zhuang Shouhe thought it was a rash. The "rumours" were already very loud, not only the military planes and princes and ministers were quite disturbed, but also the empress dowagers of the two palaces felt that the emperor's illness this time was different from usual.The emperor is weak and sick, but he always suffers from exogenous diseases. Once he takes the medicine, the effect will be seen immediately. But this time, the two imperial physicians kept haggling and sternly scolding him every day, which made Li Deli hesitating and sweating profusely. Relatively easy.

"Responding to the words of the two empress dowagers," Li Deli said, "the emperor has a rash, and the internal heat is abundant, so thirsty, and short redness in the urine, now use the clearing medicine, as long as the internal heat is fully released, it will be fine." "A rash? It's not measles, is it?" the Empress Dowager Cixi asked. "It's not measles," Li Deli said with gestures. "The grains of measles are uniform and bright red. It's best not to distinguish them." "Are you sure?" "If it's a rash, you must be sure."

When Cixi heard it, it was out of the question!From his tone, he didn't even understand his illness, but the tradition in the palace is that one can lose his temper with anyone, but not with the imperial physician.It's not that they are afraid of doing something wrong with the medicine, or committing treasonous acts, but that they are afraid of Tianwei, flustered, and use the wrong medicine.Therefore, although the Empress Dowager Cixi felt dissatisfied in her heart, she still had to comfort her verbally: "Take care with all your heart! Spend more time. When the emperor is safe, I will make the decision and change the hats for you. "

"Yes! The ministers will do their best, please rest assured the two empress dowagers." "So," Empress Dowager Ci'an asked, "What kind of medicine are you going to use?" "It's very hot in the emperor's house, so it's advisable to use Baihuhuaban soup." "Is it White Tiger Soup?" Empress Dowager Ci'an was startled. "It's similar to Baihu Decoction. White Tiger Decoction plus three qian of Scrophulariaceae and one qian of rhino horn is Baihu Huaban Decoction." "It is said that white tiger soup is a medicine for tigers and wolves, you should carefully consider it."

Li Deli became a little uneasy when he said this, and stepped back to discuss with Zhuang Shouhe, intending to re-draw the formula. When he was thinking about it quietly in the internal affairs office, he heard two eunuchs whispering in the corridor: "I think the emperor is happy to see you." gone." "Don't talk nonsense!" Another eunuch yelled, "The most feared thing in the palace is this thing!" Li Deli and Zhuang Shouhe both heard it, looked at each other, and then both nodded, thinking that the eunuch said "Jianxi" was quite insightful.

"May I ask for another pulse?" Zhuang Shouhe said. Li Deli thought about it for a while, then nodded heavily: "Yes, please take a pulse again." Not long after that, Rong Lu, who was already very popular in the palace, said to the new minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he first asked: "If the emperor asks, why is he asking for pulse again, and how should he answer it? " "Because the Empress Dowager does not advocate the use of Baihu Huaban Decoction, I have to take a closer look to see if I can use better medicine." "Okay!" Rong Lu led the way, "Come with me."

Half of it was that the eunuch's words were like a guiding light, and the other half was that within a few hours, the symptoms became more and more obvious, and it was obvious at a glance that it was indeed smallpox. It is frankly called "acne", and taboo is called "smallpox". It is said that this is the accumulation of fetal poison.Think about the benefits in everything. Difficulties are coming, which is of course a concern, but after passing this difficulty, you will never encounter such another for the rest of your life. It is also a good thing. "Kowtow to the emperor!" Li Deli and Zhuang Shouhe knelt down in front of the imperial couch and kowtowed to congratulate.

Rong Lu was shocked, but he couldn't help but congratulate him. He stood up after knocking his head, and took a closer look. The emperor's head was covered with shiny purple spots, but he was still in good spirits. Just listen to him. I asked Li Deli, "Is it a rash or smallpox?" "Smallpox, no doubt." "Then, what kind of medicine should I take?" The emperor shook his head on the pillow, beat his chest and said, "My chest is like a fire, hot and stuffy." "Your Majesty must cherish it in meditation. Once the internal heat dissipates, it will be over. It will only take a few days. Please be patient, Your Majesty."

"What medicine are you going to take?" "Naturally, it is a refreshing product. Rong Chen and others carefully consider it, and invite the Holy Judge to prepare a prescription!" So Li and Zhuang backed out, and Rong Lu took the lead in walking ahead. As soon as he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he stopped and turned around. His two sword-like eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and he asked in a light and hasty voice: "Why?" Sample?" "Master Rong, you saw it with your own eyes, it's not light." "I know it's not a light attack, so I'm asking you two, is it important or not?" "'In a few days, life and death will be turned against each other.'" Li Deli quoted the "Nei Jing" as saying, "Is it all right?" How can I say it?Could it be to ask: Is it sure to be cured?Asked this question, it seems that there is a fear of not being able to cure it first, which is very wrong.Rong Lu had no choice but to remain silent. Li Deli and Zhuang Shouhe naturally didn't have the heart to find out what he thought. The two of them still went back to the office to discuss the prescription. Before prescribing the medicine, they decided on the pulse first. After discussing carefully with Zhuang Shouhe, Li Deli and Zhuang Shouhe wrote down the pulse: "Smallpox for three days, deep and thready pulse. Take a drink , backache, and annoyance, which cannot be relieved for four days; the neck is dense, and the color is purple and stagnant, and the syndrome is severe." "When will such symptoms disappear?" "uncertain." After answering this sentence, Li Deli took up his pen and continued to write down the names of the medicines, using: reed root, root ginseng, cicada, bellflower, burdock seed, and honeysuckle, etc.The prescription was drawn up, and he was awarded the honor and salary, and handed over to the former imperial minister Boyan Nemogu. "What do you think? Zhonghua!" Boyan Namo's fidgeting problem became worse. He held the prescription in one hand and slapped his right buttock with the other. Look, is it still the queen dowager of the two palaces?" "I think it's a combination of both." "Yes," he handed Fang Li over, "Excuse me, make a recording!" The record deputy was preparing for King Gong to come and see. The original party was handed over to the Changchun Palace and transferred to the Empress Dowager Cixi. Immediately, a decree was sent out to summon the three kings, Dun, Gong, and Chun, into the palace.At the same time, he ordered: Immediately change into a "flower dress" and worship the Goddess of Pox. Before the three kings arrived, the key to the palace gate had already been released, and the Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly felt that there was no need to be so alarmed, and it was not in line with the system to summon the prince at dusk, so she passed an edict temporarily, and there was no need to summon the prince.But the news had already spread, King Dun and King Jin, as well as close relatives, ministers of military aircraft, all gathered in Prince Gong's mansion, wanting to find out what happened. If you want to ask the truth, you can only go to Li Deli, and he is already on standby in the palace according to Yizhi, so there is no way to ask him to ask about the details, so the story is too far away, it is said that the emperor's physique is not strong, so you have to be extra careful.Only King Dun was outspoken, and immediately revealed the hidden worries buried deep in everyone's hearts. "I really can't help but say it," he first confessed, "Master Shunzhi made a big deal out of this back then." The so-called "shocking the four", one sentence made everyone tremble, looking at each other, they all saw the change of expression in others, but they didn't know that they were the same. "That's all there!" Prince Gong smiled, breaking the embarrassing silence, "According to the pulse case, although the 'certificate is seriously dangerous', it has already been issued." "It's better to have it through." Jing Shou, who has never spoken much, said, "Just now I read the medical books. Smallpox is called acne because it is shaped like a bean. There are many types, including pearl beans, soybeans, and cornel beans. , snake skin, and tin noodles, these names vary in severity. The emperor's smallpox is probably soybeans." "What is soybean?" asked King Dun. "The grains are pretty big." Jing Shou pinched his fingers and gestured, "It's so big, and the grains are quite plump, they're called soybeans." 'Isn't that already through? " "By the way! So this is considered light. The lightest is pearl beans, followed by soybeans." "Is it all right?" Bao Jun asked. "If it's soybeans, it doesn't matter." "Then what does it matter?" "It is said in medical books that the heaviest is called tin noodles. As the name suggests, you will know that it comes out in a large, grayish-white color, just like tin. Then," Jingshou swallowed, and said with difficulty: " That's a death certificate." "It's irrelevant!" Bao Jun said loudly, as if walking in the night to fear ghosts, and singing with a loud voice, trying to strengthen his courage, "The pulse case said 'Zi Zhi Gan Yan', which has nothing to do with Xi Nian. " "but……." "Hey! Fifth Brother." Prince Gong rushed to interrupt him, "It's useless to think about it now. Go to the palace early tomorrow to say hello, and see what you say when you get a pulse tonight, and then make sense. " This statement is tantamount to an order to expel customers.After everyone left, another guest came to interview, Rong Lu, Minister of Internal Affairs. He was afraid that Prince Gong would be worried, so he came here to report that the emperor slept comfortably at dusk.Li Deli also said that according to the current situation, although it is not dangerous, he is sure that he can be cured, but he is afraid of other problems. "Other problems!" Prince Gong was surprised: "What problem?" "I asked him the same question. He seemed a bit unable to explain it, and it took him a long time to say it. It was nothing more than an external feeling." "When smallpox comes out, the doors and windows are always closed tightly. Is there any external influence?" Prince Gong asked again: "Tomorrow, when you enter the palace, what other ritual notes are there?" "It's the flowered clothes and hanging red." Rong Lu said, "Some people say that the memorial should be filled with yellow face red, which is a rule left over from the Shunzhi period. Let's make up your mind when the sixth master enters the palace tomorrow!" On the second day, the scene in the palace was very different from usual. All the yamen had received oral orders, all wearing floral dresses, with a piece of red silk on the chest, and the emperor's official bedroom was covered with scarlet carpets inside and outside.Officials traveling in the inner court have to spend another fee. If they want to buy Ruyi Jinxian, they will get three handles once they buy it, one for the queen mother of the two palaces and one for the emperor.Everything is handled according to the rules of happy events, but this "happy event" is completely different from a big wedding and a long life. Everyone has a sad look on their faces, and no matter what, there is no trace of happiness. Wen Xiang, who was on sick leave, also canceled his leave. He entered the palace early in the morning, first went to the internal affairs office to check his pulse, and then went to the military aircraft office, only to see Li Deli was replying to Prince Gong. "The solution is cleared. I ate duck porridge twice yesterday, and I rested well at night. The sore throat has subsided, and the skin color has gradually become radiant." Li Deli's tone was quite calm, "All the symptoms are better than the day before yesterday. " Hearing this, I felt relieved, as if the pressure on my heart had eased a lot. "However," Li Deli said suddenly, "Eighteen days before and after smallpox, there is danger every day. I hope that you will follow the steps and get better every day. Only after eighteen days can you rest assured." Then everyone frowned again, "certificate How is it?" Prince Gong asked, "Your pulse case says, 'The certificate is serious risk', how serious is it?" "It doesn't matter if it's serious, I'm just afraid of rebellion. Please rest assured, my lord, there is no evidence of rebellion." Jing Shou was reading medical books, and was particularly interested in these evidences, so he asked again: "What is called contradictory evidence?" "Smallpox is originally the accumulation of fetal poison. When it comes out, it must be sent out as thoroughly as possible. Therefore, fever, cough, yellow and thick tongue coating, big diarrhea, short red urine, thirst, sore throat, and mental irritability are all necessary. Some symptoms are nothing to worry about. If there are cold hands and feet, retching, shortness of breath, profuse diarrhea, and no sweating, it means that the accumulated poison is not coming out, and any of these are contradictory signs." "How about seeing the contradictory evidence?" "Then..." Li Deli was terrified and solemn, and lowered his hands in a low voice: "I dare not say it." "Li Zhuoxuan!" Prince Gong stood up suddenly, clenched his fists and paused twice, and said heavily: "You can't relax for a moment in these eighteen days, and you can't see the evidence to the contrary anyway. After these eighteen days, I will protect you Jingtang." The officials of the Imperial Hospital are the officials of Yaliu, who are the leaders, but only the fifth grade. If the Jingtang can fill the vacancy, from the small Jiuqing to the big Jiuqing, and then become a bachelor and a servant, Li Deli is naturally excited. Repeatedly replied: "I will do my best to obey the order of the prince." As soon as Li Deli withdrew, a eunuch came to deliver the decree, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces summoned the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Minister of Imperial Affairs in Shufangzhai.When I got there, I looked in from the palace and saw the Empress Dowager Ci'an meditating silently, and the Empress Dowager Cixi "circling" on the corridor.So Prince Gong and the others stood still, and waited for the eunuch to report that the queen dowagers of the two palaces had been promoted, and then they took the lead in entering the palace, and knelt down in peace. "The emperor had the joy of smallpox, and today is much better." The Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Blessed by the gods of the ancestors of heaven and earth, these eighteen days must be passed safely. When you meet, you should carefully discuss and handle major Chinese and foreign affairs. You must help each other and not get angry. Our two sisters have been in a lot of turmoil these past two days. It is not convenient to ask about external affairs. You can ask, but you can’t take care of them. Don't worry about it!" "Yes!" King Gong replied, "I read the pulse case carefully today, and also passed on Li Deli to the military plane. After careful questioning, the evidence is serious but not dangerous. The two Empress Dowagers please forgive me." The Empress Dowager Cixi planned to entrust important ministers to govern the country temporarily, but the emperor had other arrangements, and specially ordered Li Hongzao to "respectfully write the memorial", meaning how to deal with the memorial. In fact, on behalf of the criticism.Of course, this will not conflict with the power of the military aircraft. Li Hongzao commented that there are "idioms" available, which are nothing more than "reading", "knowing", "the Ministry knows", "the Ministry of Communication", and "according to the proposal". I will never make a long speech, make my own claims, and really feel like I am in power. Only two or three days passed in such a peaceful and peaceful life.Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was thinking that even if the emperor's symptoms passed smoothly for 18 days, it would take 100 days to recuperate quietly. At the same time, in the past hundred days, some powers have been subtly shifted, and it may be difficult to correct and take them back in the future.Thinking about it like this, my heart thumped, the previous scenes of looking at the court every day, and the scene of King Gong only saying yes, all surfaced in my memory, yearning endlessly, and I couldn't sleep all night. The next day was the seventh day of November, and when the bell was ringing at seven o'clock, I felt my pulse. It was the eighth day of my illness. The smallpox should be full like a "soybean", but when I looked closely, it was not as good as expected.At the same time, I checked the pulse and found some bad symptoms. The most worrying thing was that the emperor had kidney deficiency.Li Deli was vigilant in his heart and thought that something should be revealed, so he wrote a pulse case of more than 200 characters. At the beginning, he said that smallpox had just started, "After the danger, only the Xiyin part can still distribute liquid, poison the starch, and turn the danger into peace." After writing here, I found that the word "Yi" was a taboo. During Yongzheng and Qianlong, it was a big mistake that could lose your head. , the body is not old, sore throat, hoarseness, coughing, chest congestion, backache, etc., have not been reduced suddenly; if the kidney essence is not moving, and the chest is wide and open, it is a smooth phenomenon. Press the holy vein, the yin is not enough, When nourishing yin and transforming poison." Therefore, the prescribed prescriptions include "angelica", "yuan ginseng", "sha ginseng" and other yin-nourishing tonics.After drawing up the manuscript, the Empress Dowager Cixi read it very carefully. After reading it, she pondered for a long time and made up her mind. "Today's pulse condition is not good." She told the Empress Dowager Ci'an with a worried look, "It is a good sign to have a 'chest wide open', and now the emperor is coughing and his chest is congested, which is not good. And the yin is not enough It’s like fighting a war. Although the foreign enemies are strong, as long as you have good soldiers and good generals, you are not afraid. The emperor’s background is not good, I think he must take good care of him in the future.” "Naturally." The Empress Dowager Ci'an is truly motherly. At this moment, she only feels pity for the emperor, and she puts aside his usual absurd behavior. Let’s have fun! Pass on a play or something, I’m sure I’ll be considerate when I’m outside, and I won’t say anything.” "I have to explain this to them first." The Empress Dowager Cixi said again: "What I am worried about is that after the past hundred days, I will not be able to figure out anything about major internal and external events. At that time, when I started to do things again, I couldn't figure it out. , isn't it bad?" How could the Empress Dowager Ci'an see the subtle meaning in her words?He nodded deeply and asked, "Yes! Then what should we do?" "Of course we have to ask the sixth child to find a way." The Empress Dowager Cixi stood up and said: Let's go!take a look. " The empress dowagers of the two palaces reported that the soft sedan chair had arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The emperor had just fallen asleep. "Last night, the 'Dawai' visited once and got half a bowl of duck porridge, and another half bowl of Yuanbao soup with three delicacies stuffing." Meng Zhongji described the daily life of Emperor Chen in this way. "How about 'flower'?" "The 'flowers' are very dense, much more than yesterday. Dr. Li said that the flowers are dense, and the growth is not yet transparent. It depends on how tomorrow will be." Meng Zhongji said again, "Several slaves I pray to Buddha three times a day, thinking that the emperor's blessing is as great as the sky, and he must be blessed by the Buddha, safe and sound, and everything will go smoothly." "When it's safe and sound, I will naturally reward you." The Empress Dowager Cixi warned again sternly, "You are lazy and careless, and you are not attentive, I will not spare you!" "Slaves absolutely dare not." "Has the queen visited the emperor today?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an asked. "Not yet." Meng Zhongji replied, "I came to pay my respects to the emperor last night, and returned to the palace after resting for an hour." "Oh! What did the queen say?" asked the Empress Dowager Cixi. "The empress ordered the servants to serve her wholeheartedly. She said that the emperor has no appetite. If you want to pass something on, please inform the empress's small kitchen to prepare it." "Hmm!" The Empress Dowager Cixi hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "The empress stayed for an hour, what did she say to the emperor?" "The queen talks to the emperor, but the servant dare not stand in front of her. But..." Meng Zhongji consciously made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly shrank, but it was too late.Empress Dowager Cixi naturally couldn't let him go, and asked sharply, "What's the matter?" You can't hesitate anymore, otherwise the Empress Dowager Cixi will definitely lose her face. Meng Zhongji bit the bullet and replied: "The empress seems to have shed tears." "Hmph!" Empress Dowager Cixi's face was terribly gloomy, and she said to Empress Dowager Ci'an, "Look!" The Empress Dowager Ci'an remained silent, and another knot was tied in her heart. Empress Dowager Cixi's dissatisfaction with the empress was getting worse and worse, which she knew very well.I once wanted to persuade, but I was afraid that the Empress Dowager Cixi would suspect that she was protecting the queen, and I felt disgusted, and the misunderstanding would deepen, and not persuading would not be the solution.During this hesitation, a eunuch came to report that the emperor had woken up.This interruption will not allow the Empress Dowager Ci'an to have a chance to speak, it's important to be busy going to see the emperor. The emperor's face, arms, shoulders, etc. were all covered with purple blisters. The "flowers" were really dense, but they were not bulging and raised, and they were not distinct. Some places were messy and connected into a large area. Neither is a favorable affidavit. The empress dowagers of the two palaces sat together in front of the imperial couch, and it was inevitable that they would have some comforting words to persuade him to rest in peace.The emperor said that the empress dowagers of the two palaces were deeply concerned and deeply disturbed, and said that they could not read the book in person, so they were quite anxious. "I also know that you are anxious, you have to find a way." Empress Dowager Cixi turned to Empress Dowager Ci'an and said, "I think they should come in and have a look." These "they" are of course inseparable from the Minister of Military Aircraft, followed by the Minister of Imperial Affairs.It happened that the eunuch came to ask for an order, saying that Weng Tonghe asked if he could come in, so the Empress Dowager Cixi sent an order to enter the palace together with Junji and Yuqian. After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where the Buddha was enshrined, everyone kowtowed together, then Meng Zhongji opened the curtain, led by Prince Gong, entered the East Nuan Pavilion together, knelt down and saluted.The light was very dim, so I couldn't see clearly. I could only hear the emperor whispering, "Who are those people?" "Military aircraft, Yuqian, and Master Weng." The Empress Dowager Cixi ordered again: "Bring the wax!" Meng Zhongji agreed, and immediately sent someone to fetch two bright red candles as thick as a child's arm, and stood on both sides of the imperial couch.Under the candlelight, the emperor's face became more and more like drunk. At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi reached out her hand and removed the emperor's left arm from the brocade quilt. She pinched the sleeve and said, "Look! The flowers are still blooming." So King Dun stepped forward first, looking at the arm covered with pimples, and speaking words of comfort.King Dun saw that it was King Gong, and King Gong saw that it was King Chun. Looking at each of them, the last one was Weng Tonghe.The emperor really seemed to be drunk, his eyes seemed to be open and sometimes closed, his expression was half asleep and half awake, and he never spoke. It is inconvenient to say anything in front of the patient, so all the ministers knelt down and withdrew, and the queen mothers of the two palaces did not give instructions.But when the military plane and Yuqian just returned to the original place, Meng Zhongji immediately came to convey Yi's decree, saying that the Empress Dowager was summoned in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. This time the summoning was in the main room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the Buddhist altar was covered by a huge yellow curtain. There was only one throne in front of the curtain, and only the Empress Dowager Cixi was present. That's what's out of the ordinary.I have always summoned ministers and workers, whether it is when the curtain is drawn or after the curtain is drawn, the two palaces always have the same honor, unless there is a holy empress dowager who does not hesitate.But at this moment, there is no news that Empress Dowager Ci'an is ill, so there is a doubt, is Empress Dowager Cixi avoiding Empress Dowager Ci'an intentionally, or is this summoning not approved by Empress Dowager Ci'an, so she does not want to appear? Regardless of the reason, one thing is very clear, this is not an ordinary summons, and the Empress Dowager Cixi must have something very important to say. The eleven people all understood and were alert, especially Prince Gong, because he must be speaking on behalf of everyone, so he murmured in his heart, kowtowed his head, tilted his ears slightly, and listened intently. "You have all seen the situation of the emperor." The Empress Dowager Cixi spoke in a low voice, very slowly, and she seemed to be choosing her words carefully, "Now everyone is anxious up and down, and the emperor himself is even more anxious. These seven or eight days , the chapters of the various yamen are all case cases, and many important matters are put on hold because the emperor can't personally make decisions. These are the things he is anxious about. Rest assured when you are sick, if you can't, there is a good prescription According to Li Deli, it will take a hundred days to recover: this is not a matter of ten or eight days, you have to find a way. The matter is clearly there, what should be done, I think outsiders have their own opinions. " King Gong listened to every word she said, kept it in his heart, chewed it, and quickly heard the truth. The Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to take over the government in person, but she was afraid that she would be unacceptable by the Qing Dynasty again. The "method" is to think of a way to teach "outsiders have their own opinions". "There's another level," Empress Dowager Cixi continued, "after waiting for eighteen days, I've been recuperating quietly, and I can't say that I'm sitting all day, and I'm sick again? After all, the emperor is still young, so he always needs to find something to eat." For entertainment, if you occasionally have a play or something, I think you can understand it outside, and there will be no discussion." These words were originally meant by the Empress Dowager Ci'an, but at this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to express that within a hundred days, since the emperor wanted to cultivate his temperament with silk and bamboo, it would be difficult to overcome the drama, so the act of hanging the curtain must be done. indispensable.Her intentions are so deep that everyone else can understand it, but the careless King Dun doesn't understand it at all.I only heard that the emperor was looking for entertainment, such as a play or something, and I felt disgusted in my heart. For more than a year, it has been a mess, and the result is such a mockery of smallpox, which was found out by "looking for entertainment"! He thought that he must say what he wanted to say, and he couldn't control his temper, so he walked forward on his knees, raised his face and said: "I beg the empress dowager to persuade the emperor well, there are many ways to entertain the emperor, plant flowers and grow flowers." Bird, play with antique calligraphy and painting, that can also entertain a long time. The play is passed around in the palace every three days, and there is also a lot of discussion outside." After hearing the last two words, Empress Dowager Cixi felt harsh, because everyone in the palace knew her love of listening to operas, so when King Dun's words were addressed to her, her face became ugly. "What's the discussion outside?" "Emperor Xuanzongcheng is respectable for his frugality. I hope that the empress dowager will always recite the teachings of the ancestors." "I remember all the teachings of my ancestors." Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "Emperor Xuanzongcheng is frugal and respectable, but what about Emperor Gaozongchun?" King Dun was at a loss for words, so he said: "I have played more than one thing. There are also many rumors outside, and I have heard a lot of them, as if a bone is stuck in my throat. It is like the emperor walking slowly, because the emperor is rarely close to the queen. The emperor We have only been married for two years, and among the common people, young couples should be as sweet as honey, so some people will be surprised by the way the emperor and empress look like this." "I think your words are strange." The Empress Dowager Cixi was even more displeased, "You mean that we, as masters, didn't teach our sons and daughters-in-law well, don't you?" "I don't mean that." "What does that mean?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked sharply, "You are ministers before the imperial court, and the emperor's daily activities are under your care. He slipped out alone, I don't blame you for negligence, but you blame me instead, not too ignorant of conscience ?" This accusation was quite severe. The five former imperial ministers met together, and the Minister of Military Aircraft could not say that he was not responsible, so he apologised, so Weng Tonghe had no choice but to meet with him. "Even you don't understand the painstaking efforts of our sisters. It's no wonder that there are more discussions outside." The Empress Dowager Cixi was half sad, half artificial, and said with tears: "The first emperor only had one son. Bullying orphans and widows like them, going up to the palace to point fingers, tilting his neck and shouting, the emperor was so frightened that he drowned in the Empress Dowager Ci'an. He is not in good health and often suffers from illnesses. He doesn't dare to control him too tightly, but he also dare not relax. To bring him up so lightly and seriously, think about it, how much painstaking effort does it take? We sisters In the palace, the situation outside is not very clear. The emperor's deviance depends entirely on your assistance. If you don't show your sincerity, what should we sisters do?" As he spoke, tears welled up and his voice choked.The officials didn't know whether it was ashamed or frightened, so they just bowed their heads, and when she finished speaking, Prince Gong said: "The empress dowager's instruction, the ministers have no place to be ashamed. Now Shenggong is celebrating a wedding, and all the chapters will be played. For any event that must be requested, we plan to ask the empress dowagers of the two palaces to give instructions on behalf of the emperor so that they can be followed." These few words worked like a god, and immediately stopped Empress Dowager Cixi's tears, "I understand what you mean." She said, "Write a note, and I will discuss it with Empress Dowager Ci'an." "Yes!" Prince Gong replied, "The minister will issue an order immediately." So he knelt down and withdrew, and went to the military plane one by one with solemn faces. King Dun took off the big sable hat, steaming from his head, and while wiping his sweat with a towel, he complained to everyone: "Why don't you help me out?" ?” "Today is not the time to say these things. With your few words, it's enough!" Prince Gong turned back and asked Wen Xiang, "How do you see this brochure?" "Junji, Yuqian," Wen Xiang said in a low voice, looked at Weng Tonghe and said, "Masters of the Hongde Palace, should we also be listed? Everyone think about it." The empress dowager's hanging curtain has always been regarded as a national taboo, so even though it is a short-term situation, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, as soon as this book is published, someone will criticize it behind the scenes.That being the case, the more people who slander you, the better, so Bao Jun followed Wen Xiang's words and said loudly: "This should be done as a housework. Not only should the master be listed, but Master Jiu must also be involved." "Jiuye" is the king of Fujun. He is not in the military plane, not in front of the imperial court. According to "housework", he has to be re-ranked. King Dun takes the lead, followed by King Gong, King Chun, and King Fu, and then as the "nephew" of the royal family. According to the official positions, Boyan Nemogu, Ezu Jingshou, Belle Yiqiu, Si Junji, and Si Hongde Palace walked. According to their official positions, Zuodu Censor, Weng Tonghe's brother Guangshou was the first, followed by Xu Tong and Weng Tonghe. Because of his recent popularity, he actually presided over the selection of Nanshufang Hanlin, and he was the tail of Wang Qingqi, who Weng Tonghe respectfully called "Prince". The excerpt was drafted by Shen Guifen, "Combined Words Call for Concentration and Meditation", and after a hundred days, after February 11th next year, work will continue as usual.A few words is equivalent to writing a memo to invite guests, and it is done in one stroke, and it is sent to King Gong for review, and the chief eunuch Meng Zhongji is found, and he is ordered to submit an invitation. They shouted twice, and by this time, it was already noon, and they all dispersed, but when Prince Gong got on the sedan chair, Meng Zhongji rushed over, running all the way, shouting all the way: "Stop the sedan chair, stop the sedan chair, and get up! " So Prince Gong stopped and summoned the military aircraft and the imperial court again.King Dun came on horseback that day, and left early. He sent a special guard to pass the order, and when he came back halfway, the big clock of Jiaotai Hall was striking two o'clock. Huiqi arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was summoned by Empress Dowager Cixi in Xinuange.After some calm consideration, she felt that this matter should not be rash, because the emperor's intention is difficult to grasp, and Empress Dowager Ci'an did not know about it in advance.After being summoned alone, I only talked to her about it. Not only was Empress Dowager Ci'an not very enthusiastic, but she also vaguely hinted that this move was afraid of hurting the Emperor's heart, so it was better to dismiss it. From this, it became obvious that if the emperor received the ensemble of the officials and hesitated a little, the Empress Dowager Ci'an would definitely help him speak. According to the Empress Dowager Cixi, the "east" is not enough to succeed, but more to fail, so the way to draw the bottom line must first be tried to make sense with the emperor.Otherwise, things will fail and damage your dignity. Of course, she had a different way of saying to Prince Gong and the others, "This is a big matter, so it's better to explain the stakes first." She handed in the original play, "You have to play the emperor orally first. You can play it like this." "Yes!" Prince Gong answered slowly, making up his mind. He knew that the Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid of running into trouble. Difficulty, isn't it a problem for yourself?Therefore, he replied in this way: "The holy bow is not safe, so it is not appropriate to overwork. Rong Chen will play the request in person when he pays his respects tomorrow morning." This idea is exactly what the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted, "That's right!" She hinted very bluntly: "How should I tell the emperor, you should think about it carefully!" After retreating, Prince Gong got into the sedan chair and left without saying a word.In the evening, Li Deli asked for a pulse, prescribed a prescription, took the draft prescription to see Prince Gong, and told Emperor Gong about his symptoms, saying that what he had just seen was not as "smooth" as before. Prince Gong was taken aback, "What's the matter?" He stretched out his hand and said, "Come to me for the pulse case." The pulse record says that the smallpox is "soaked in pulp and wrinkled," which means it is not plump enough, and "feeling a little cold, stuffy nose and cough, and insomnia due to a guilty conscience", which is even more troublesome with exogenous diseases. Looking at the prescription again, it uses angelica, shengqi, poria cocos and other medicines to nourish the middle and nourish the qi. King Gong became more and more worried, "How is the emperor's health?" He said, "You tell the truth, there is no need to hold back!" "Kidney deficiency!" Li Deli said, "Insufficient source, always suffers. Don't dare to use cold medicine too much now." He continued, "I have relieved three times today, and I feel a little loose. This is not a good symptom. Besides... .” The voice gradually lowered, and finally disappeared, but his face was worried and uncertain, and his brows were furrowed, with an expression that was completely unspeakable.Prince Gong's heart was also suspended, "Zhuo Xuan!" He said in a very dignified voice: "If you have something to say, you are not telling the truth at this time, and if there is trouble in the future, you will be responsible for it!" This warning came from the mouth of Prince Gong, and it was very serious. Li Deli thought about it, and made up his mind, "My lord!" He looked to the left and right, "There is a saying that doesn't go into Liu Ye's ears." Prince Gong stood up quickly: "You come!" On the gap in the Jianyuan Garden, a small western-style building was newly built. Prince Gong arranged a secret room for quiet contemplation there. He led Li Deli along the rain corridor to the small western-style house, passed a winding corridor, and entered a room. Construct a tight study.A footman came in and poured tea, and immediately withdrew, closing a foreign-style door with a click, as if it had been locked. Saying a word that cannot fall into the ears of a third party has its secrets, and King Gong specially brought him here to show extra caution, so as to teach Li Deli to speak the truth boldly.Sure enough, Li Deli felt that this was a good place to reveal his secrets, so he explained the symptoms of the emperor suffering from a "big sore". Prince Gong was dumbfounded!His face was ashen, his eyes were straight, and finally there were tears. He gritted his teeth as hard as he could to hold back, took an index finger, wiped his eyes and asked, "How can this disease be cured?" “缓证或有结毒肿块，用'化毒散'，以大黄为主，急证用'搜风解毒汤'。不过，王爷，这个病，断不了根的。” “谈什么断根？能不发，或者发得轻一点，就很好了。”恭王又问：“这个病会不会在这时候一起发了出来？” “这也难说，从来还不曾听说过这样的病例。” 恭王的脸色又沉重了，低着头踱了好一阵方步，突然站住脚问：“卓轩，如今该怎么治？” “自然是先治天花，今天这服药保元补气，能帮着皇上灌浆起顶，即是顺症，往后就易于措手了。” 恭王深深点头：“胆欲大而心欲细，先把天花治好了再说。听说那个病，多在春天发，眼前大概不要紧。”他又问道：“这话你还跟谁说过？” “就只敢禀告王爷。” “我知道了。你先不必声张。”恭王摇头微喟，说了一个字：“难！” 幸好李德立这天的方子很见效，一夜过去，皇帝的天花，果然“灌浆起顶”，发得相当饱满，精神也好得多了，双眼炯炯，气色甚盛，即使是虚火上升，也总比两眼半开半闭，神色萎靡困顿好得多。 卯正叫起，先叫军机，皇帝已经坐了起来，等恭王等人行了礼，皇帝将手臂一伸，“你们看！发得很好。” 天花确是发得很好，颗粒分明，一个个鼓了起来，即所谓“起顶”，昨天皱皮的那种现象消失了。 “圣躬大安，天下臣民之喜。”恭王徐徐说道：“臣等每日恭读脉案，也曾细问李德立，说皇上的天花之喜，来势甚重，千万疏忽不得，总宜静心调摄。臣等公议，忧能伤人，总要设法上抒睿虑才是。” “说要调养百日。”皇帝问道，“日子是不是太长了？” “日子从容，调养得才好。只要皇上调养得体力充沛，百日亦不算多。”恭王紧接着说：“臣等公具奏折，请皇上俯纳微衷。” “什么折子？拿我看。” 于是恭王将前一天从慈禧太后那里领回来的、沈桂芬执笔的奏折，递了上去，小李持烛照着，皇帝匆匆看完，放下奏折在沉吟。 “你们先退下去吧！”皇帝不即接受，但也不曾拒绝，“等我想一想再说。”
