Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Under Zhao Xu's beating.

The struggle between the old and the new parties has changed from an open fight to a secret fight. At least on the surface, they appear to be in peace with each other and working together to contribute to the court.

"Fan Aiqing, this is a wonderful strategy!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the changes in the court.

Fan Zheng proposed to publicly judge the merits and demerits, and divided Wen Zheng's posthumous title into two, giving them to Wang Anshi and Sima Guang respectively, which clearly stated Zhao Xu's attitude.

That is to let the old and new parties work together to revitalize the Song Dynasty.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Reforms in the past dynasties have been met with great resistance. Part of the reason is that the reform has damaged the interests of some people. On the other hand, the reform is not an easy task. It is like a person wading across a river. One cannot Seeing how deep the river is, if you take one step forward, you may drown. The only way is to cross the river by feeling for the stones, which is the safest way."

"Crossing the river by feeling for the stones?"

Zhao Xu nodded thoughtfully. Even with the lessons learned from Xining's reform, he still felt that it was difficult to implement the reform.

Fortunately, Fan Zheng's evil plan was there. He had just taken office for less than a year, and the Song Dynasty had already implemented the labor-sharing method, the green crop method, and the improved horse protection method, which was considered to be progressing smoothly.

In addition, the Song Dynasty has abolished the Liao and Xia Sui coins, and with Zhentian Lei in hand, the revival of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner.

"Report to the official family? Hu Jieyu is about to give birth."

Suddenly, Tong Guan came in a hurry to report! "

"So fast?"

Zhao Xu said in surprise.

As a man, he was naturally excited when he heard that he was going to be a father, not to mention that Zhao Xu was still an emperor. As an emperor, having a child was a major matter for the country.

"Giving birth?"

Fan Zheng couldn't help but frown.

It had only been more than eight months since he gave Queen Meng the evil recipe for the pig breeding plan, and Hu Jieyu should have been the last to conceive, and there was no time to give birth.

"Premature birth!" Fan Zheng exclaimed as he thought of a possibility.

"Premature birth?"

Zhao Xu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The excitement of preparing to become a father had long since disappeared. Under the medical conditions of the Song Dynasty, the risk of premature infant death was extremely high.

"Come on, go and ask for Dr. Zhang!" Fan Zheng ordered without hesitation.

"Yes! Yes! Go and ask for Dr. Zhang immediately!" Zhao Xu quickly agreed.

Nowadays, female doctor Zhang Youniang is the number one expert in obstetrics and gynecology in the Song Dynasty. Countless women have been cured by her, including caesarean section and postpartum hemorrhage.

Soon, Zhang Youniang came in a hurry with a solemn face and rushed directly to Hu Jieyu's palace.

Zhao Xu and Fan Zheng were blocked outside the palace, waiting anxiously.

Liu Jieyu and Queen Meng also came over with their big bellies after hearing the news. They couldn't help but look at Hu Jieyu's closed palace with worry. As women, they naturally know the dangers of premature birth. The adults may be fine, but I'm afraid the child will be in trouble. Saved.

"The royal family has no heirs, what should we do?..." Queen Meng couldn't help but sigh.

Empress Meng secretly looked at Fan Zheng. She was personally implementing the pig breeding plan. Of the nearly thirty maids who were suitable for pregnancy, only three became pregnant in the end. After that, no concubine in the harem became pregnant. This shows that cotton poison has a negative impact on Zhao. Xu's body has been greatly affected.

Fortunately, the pig breeding plan was implemented in advance. If it had been delayed any longer, the consequences would have been disastrous. However, we never expected that Hu Jieyu would give birth prematurely.

"Don't be anxious, officials. Sister Hu is a good girl, and everything will be fine." Liu Jieyu advised softly. Even though she was pregnant, Liu Jieyu still dressed up and did not forget to compete for favors.

Queen Meng's face was heavy. Premature birth poses great risks to the fetus, which cannot be solved by saying that auspicious people have their own destiny.

As a queen, she was responsible for the succession of royal heirs. She and Hu Jieyu and Liu Jieyu were pregnant at the same time. She originally had three hopes, but now she is about to lose another one.

Premature births usually go smoothly. In less than half a day, the palace door opens and the faint cry of a baby comes from inside.

Zhang Youniang walked out of the palace gate and said to Zhao Xu with a solemn face: "To inform the official family, Hu Jieyu gave birth to a daughter prematurely. She weighs no more than four kilograms."

"Four pounds?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Since the harem concubine became pregnant, Zhao Xu also learned some knowledge about babies. Most ordinary babies are six to eight pounds. A four-pound baby is really too small, and the smaller the baby, the harder it is to feed it.

He finally solved the royal family's conspiracy to have an unsuccessful heir, but he never thought that his first child would be born prematurely and would be difficult to save.

"Ms. Zhang, you are the best female doctor in the world. Please be sure to cure this child." Zhao Xu said urgently.

Zhang Youniang's face showed a trace of embarrassment! Premature babies are the most difficult to feed because their bodies are not yet fully developed and they are too weak to take medicine. The premature death rate is extremely alarming, and even though female doctors have made great advances in medical skills, they are currently unable to do anything about premature babies.

"Forgive me! I'm afraid there's nothing I can do." Zhang Youniang sighed.

“Can’t it be that the great advancements in medical technology still cannot cure premature babies since the medical reform?”

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel like he was struck by lightning. He finally became a father for the first time, but he had to bear the pain of losing his son.

"Premature babies are not a disease, but being born too early is like pulling out seedlings to encourage them to grow, and their poor medical skills have disappointed the officials." Zhang Youniang said helplessly, premature birth is a pain in obstetrics and gynecology, and Zhang Youniang doesn't want to overcome this difficulty.

Fan Zheng said at the side: "Any disease in this world can be cured, as long as you find the root cause?"

Zhao Xu suddenly looked at Fan Zheng in surprise. He had almost forgotten that Fan Zheng's evil side had never been defeated. If Fan Zheng could come up with another evil side, her daughter might be saved.

"Fan Aiqing, do you have any good prescription?" Zhao Xu asked quickly.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "Back to the official house, I have some thoughts."

"Please give me some advice from Fan Taicheng!" the female doctor Zhang Youniang said solemnly.

Fan Zheng asked: "Why is it difficult to feed premature babies because they leave the protection of the maternal uterus early. If doctors can simulate the human uterine environment in the outside world and artificially create a warm, safe, and disease-free similar environment until they grow to the size of a full-term baby, It may not be possible to grow healthily.”

"Simulate the human uterus environment?"

Zhao Xu and other people in the palace couldn't help but feel extremely weird when they heard Fan Zheng talk about the maternal uterus without hesitation.

But Zhang Youniang was enlightened. If doctors could really simulate the uterine environment, then premature babies might not be able to grow up healthily.

Zhang Youniang nodded and said: "The uterus can isolate all sources of disease and ensure the healthy growth of the fetus. The little princess must be alone in a closed space, and her condition needs to be monitored at all times."

Fan Zheng nodded happily and said: "Doctors have developed transparent glass, which can not only provide premature infants with a space to be alone, but also allow them to observe the condition of premature infants at all times."

"Come here, please immediately send an order to the glass workshop. I need three two-inch glass boxes to be manufactured as quickly as possible." Zhao Xu immediately ordered without hesitation.

Tong Guan gave a slight signal, and a eunuch immediately went to deliver the order.

Zhang Youniang nodded slightly and finally solved the most important step in the growth of premature babies - the external uterus.

"The uterus is inside the human body, and premature babies need people to take care of them. It is impossible to completely eliminate all sources of disease." Fan Zheng pointed out again.
