Father can be an enemy to the country

Lao Wu's medical skills were indeed impressive. After the operation, although Xu Da was not out of danger yet, he felt much more relaxed to the naked eye.

This finally gave the General's Mansion a New Year's atmosphere. Princess Yan was so happy that she even cooked the meal herself and added a few dishes to the New Year's Eve dinner.

It was said to be a New Year's Eve dinner at the General's Mansion, but in fact only Xu Zengshou and his wife were present, and the rest belonged to Lao Zhu's family.

Zhu Di, Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zhen, Zhu Chun, Zhu Bai, and the three sons of King Yan... Apart from the palace, the old Zhu family here has the largest number of people.

Zhu Di and his wife wanted to let Lao Wu sit down no matter what, saying that they must thank him well today.

For Lao Wu, it didn't matter where he sat. Anyway, he just wanted to eat, so he didn't refuse. After sitting down, he said seriously: "But the one you should thank most is not me, but Lao Liu."

"What does it have to do with me?" Zhu Zhen teased the plump Zhu Gaochi without raising his head.

"Why doesn't it matter? Who invented the microscope? Who told me the secret of bacterial disease? And who told me that allicin can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation?" Lao Wu asked in return.

"Everyone should be thanked, thank you all!" Zhu Di laughed and hugged a younger brother with one hand, and smiled at Princess Yan: "How about it, it's not a loss to marry our old Zhu family, right?"

"We are already an old married couple and you still say this." Lao Liu couldn't help laughing and said: "It's Chinese New Year, so don't thank me. Let's have a drink together to celebrate my father-in-law's escape from death."

"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone agreed and raised their glasses together to bless the general.

After putting down the wine glass, Princess Yan asked Lao Wu: "Uncle Wu, my father only has a big sore on his back, how come he almost died?"

"Sister-in-law, if you take a walk around the hospital, you will know how fragile people are." Lao Wu replied seriously: "Before the advent of anti-inflammatory drugs, as long as there was a wound on the body, you might die from infection."

"Specifically, the general's back gangrene should be due to exogenous rheumatism and fire poison, or overeating with thick and spicy food, which causes dampness, heat and fire poison to accumulate internally, resulting in accumulation of heat in the internal organs, stagnation of qi and blood, disharmony between the camp and guard, and evil obstruction of the skin. "Lao Wu continued.

When Zhu Zhen heard that "you've eaten so much, you've had a good meal", he couldn't help but look at his fourth brother and his eldest uncle, and saw that both of them lowered their heads with guilty conscience.

"Normally speaking, whether it is a gangrene or a carbuncle, as long as it can come out, it will be cured when the abscess bursts on its own and all the pus is squeezed out." Lao Wu added: "But the general's sore hair On his upper back, his back has become thick with calluses from wearing armor for a long time. How can the abscesses break through the skin? "

"Since it can't come out, it must either spread or go down." Zhu Ju added: "The general goes down. When the germs penetrate deep into the body, the patient starts to have a fever. If the blood is infected, that's I have sepsis. No amount of allicin will help."

"Then my father doesn't have septicemia, right?" Princess Yan asked anxiously.

"Probably not. The typical symptoms of patients with sepsis are rash and cyanosis. These two symptoms have not appeared yet." Zhu Ru replied.

"Thank you so much." Princess Yan couldn't help but toast Lao Wu again, and of course she didn't forget Lao Liu.

Xu Zengshou also expressed his gratitude to the two highnesses, and then asked: "How long will it take for my father to be out of danger?"

"Look, it will be fine once the fever is gone." After Zhu Ru finished speaking, he paused and said: "But he was not in good health to begin with. He should have a serious case of diabetes. This time, his vitality has been severely damaged, and his recovery will be very slow."

"It doesn't matter, take your time, as long as everything is fine." Princess Yan was extremely contented. She was thankful that her father could save his life this time.

~~

The next day was the first day of the first lunar month in the nineteenth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Zhen got up in the morning, paid New Year greetings to his father-in-law, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, and gave new year's money to his three nephews. Then he and his fourth brother went to Beiping Dusi Carpenter in the north of Tongzhou City to work.

Although it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, carpenters from Tongzhou City and even Beiping are already at work. In the workshop, break wood, plank planks, and prepare materials for making ice beds.

It's just that they were forced to work overtime on the first day of the new year, and no one looked good. The craftsmen cursed and vented their complaints while working.

"The prince is here to visit everyone!" shouted the carpenter official, and the craftsmen quickly put down their work and knelt down to kowtow.

"Everyone is exempt from the gift, please get up quickly." Zhu Zhen said with a warm smile and cupped his hands: "I and my fourth brother are here to give you red envelopes for New Year greetings!"

The craftsmen quickly thanked them and felt a little better.

When they received the red envelope and saw that it actually contained a one or two face value sea ticket, the craftsmen finally had a smile on their faces.

"I know that it is unethical to let people go to work on the first day of the Lunar New Year." Then Zhu Zhen stood on the untied pile of wood and said to the craftsmen in a loud voice that he had trained for many years of speech: "So I have discussed with Fourth Brother that we should at least finish the first day of the new year and then gather together on the second day of the new year. This would be...well, it is actually quite unethical."

"Hahaha..." The carpenters couldn't help laughing. Then I heard the prince say in a deep voice:

"I don't want to trouble everyone. I and Fourth Brother also want to have a good New Year, but there are corrupt officials who don't want us to have a good New Year. Who are they? They are the people who are in charge of the granary in Beiping! The general is ready to use the grain. Only to find out that the granary has been emptied by them!”

"Why does the general need food? Of course there is going to be a war." Zhu Di took over and said: "I might as well tell you the truth. There is a God-given opportunity to eliminate Naha. The general has already mobilized the army and is waiting for it. He sent out troops as soon as the New Year was over, but found out that the rations were gone, and he immediately fell ill from anger! "

"Fuck them! Kill them!" The craftsmen transferred their anger to the corrupt officials.

In fact, for those of them living in Peiping, the Royal Court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is just a distant legend, but Nahachu in the northeast is a real threat. When an old man scares a child who is not sleeping, he often says, 'Naha is out to catch the child! ’

"Once we miss this opportunity, we don't know how long it will take to catch him again!" Zhu Zhen continued loudly: "So we have to rush to transport a large amount of military rations from the south before the end of the first year, so as not to delay the army's expedition. Now! The only thing that can do this is the ice car we are making. Now do you understand why you are here?"

"As for why the other workers will only arrive tomorrow and you are starting work today, it is naturally because you are more important." Zhu Zhen put a hat on the carpenters again and said: "We need a hundred thousand ice trucks!" Please race against time! ”

"You don't need to say anything, Your Majesty, we understand!" The craftsmen were calmed down by Lao Liu's psychological massage, and they all became excited and shouted loudly: "We are going to work now!"

After saying that, everyone got into their places and started busy in full swing. The intensity of work suddenly increased several times.
