What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

After the change of the Forbidden Gate, under the order of the emperor, the shogunate launched a crusade against the Changzhou Domain, but no matter how it was fought, the battlefield would not be placed in the city of Kyoto again, so the entire Kyoto was much calmer.

However, this Changzhou conquest did not end in a fight. After a series of blows, the conservatives in the Changzhou domain gained the upper hand and beheaded several elders and staff who had advocated marching into Kyoto in order to surrender to the shogunate.

As a result, the shogunate won without a fight. After a year of chaos in the first year of Yuanzhi, it withdrew its troops at the end of the year.

But the conservatives in the Changzhou Domain were not proud for long. Shortly after the end of the second year of Yuanzhi, Shinsaku Takasugi launched a mutiny, defeated the conservatives, took Katsura Kogoro back to take over the power of the domain, and the defeated faction returned to the core of the Changzhou Domain.

The shogunate will not sit back and watch the downfall faction grow bigger, and immediately began to plan the second Choshu conquest. However, unlike the previous one, this time the shogunate sent troops encountered great resistance, so that the general Tokugawa Ieshige had to come again to express his opinion. Kyoto.

Fuyuya and Liangxia went to Nijo Castle to visit Tokugawa Iemo and the Odaisho couple. This meeting surprised Fuyuya.

"My lord, what are you?"

"I made you laugh, Lord Shigu..."

Tokugawa Iemo, who has always been very particular about etiquette, gave a wry smile. He rarely sat upright, but sat on a slightly higher chair, with his feet hanging in the air, "Maybe it's because I'm not acclimatized here, please forgive me for not being able to do so." sitting."

As he spoke, he subconsciously drew his feet back, but when his feet hit the branch of the chair, he immediately showed a grinning expression.

"Unaccustomed to the climate? Master Yusuo, didn't you ask the doctor to check?"

Fuyumi was a little strange. After all, it was not the first time Tokugawa Ieshige came to Kyoto, but the third time in just a few years, and each time he stayed for several months before leaving. I don't necessarily spend as many days living in Edo Castle during the year as I do here.

"It should be. It's just that the feet are a little swollen and itchy. There is no need to call a doctor... With the current situation, I can no longer convey the news that people's confidence in the shogunate has diminished."

Iemo Tokugawa sighed and said that only to Toya Ishitani could he confide more of the pressure in his heart.

"Let's not talk about that, I heard about it in Edo, Ishitani-sama was active in the Forbidden Gate Incident, thank you for saving the people of Kyoto..."

Tokuya followed him to change the subject, chatting about the changes in Kyoto and Anheya during this period, Tokugawa Iemo listened with great interest, and when it was time for dinner, he invited Toya to stay for dinner as before.

But when he was about to stand up and walk to the dining room, his feet touched the ground showing an obvious expression of pain. Fuyuya took the initiative to lean over to support him without any trace, and did not get too close, chatting and walking all the way, like this. When walking in the corridor, the samurai stationed couldn't see that the general was being supported by someone, at most they felt that the two were closer when they were talking.

Walking to the hall where the food table, bowls, chopsticks, etc. have been set up, Prince Odaisho and Miyanokochiuchi and Liang Xia have already arrived. For this short distance, even though Fuyuya is supporting him, Tokugawa Ieshige is still breaking out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Tokugawa Iemo's appearance, Kazumiya quickly stretched out his hand to help him sit down with a worried expression on his face.

Fuyuya glanced at the food on the food table. Although Tokugawa Jiashige and Kazumiya are not people who like extravagance and waste, since it is the main meal of the general and the Imperial Palace, of course it cannot be shabby. The dishes on the food table look like It makes people very eager to eat, fresh sashimi, grilled fish and oysters, the soup looks perfect, and the rice is also white and crystal clear.

There was no one else in the inner room, so Toyomi asked directly: "Master Gosho, do you usually eat like this?"

Replacing Iemo Tokugawa, who hadn't recovered yet, Kazumiya replied: "Yes, the menu may change at any time, but it's about the same."

"Master Yusuo, what you got may not be acclimatization."

The way Fuyuya glanced at the food pointedly before was not ignored by Kazumiya and Iemo Tokugawa, both of them changed their expressions: "Master Ishitani, are you saying...in these foods...is there someone... ..."

Fuyuya knew that they had misunderstood at a glance, and quickly shook his head, "No, it's not that someone poisoned you. What I mean is... What the Gosho-sama suffers from is not acclimatization, but beriberi."

"Beriberi?" Apparently, neither of them had heard of this term before, with blank expressions on their faces.

"Master Yusuo, besides swollen and itchy feet, do you also have symptoms such as oral inflammation, bleeding and swelling of the teeth, insomnia, anorexia, and peeling of the feet?"

"exactly!"

"That should be correct." Fuyumi nodded, "This disease is caused by eating refined rice frequently."

Beriberi—or vitamin B1 deficiency can be said to be a common disease of the rich. Caused by vitamin B1.

Beriberi is only the most typical symptom, and it can cause palpitations and shortness of breath in severe cases. If the treatment is not timely, it may even cause death from a heart attack. The famous Lan Fang doctor, but the doctor only knows about beriberi, but they don't know what causes this disease and how to treat it. It is even more impossible for the general and his wife to know.

"So that's it, that is to say, I just need to eat more brown rice?" After listening to Fuyomi's explanation, Iemo Tokugawa suddenly realized, and Kazuomiya was even more excited. Obviously, she was more worried than Iemo Tokugawa himself. his condition.

"Yes, of course, we must pay attention not to the old rice. If both of you eat about the same amount, Master Yutaisho should also pay attention to this aspect of the diet, so as not to suffer from the same disease. In addition, it is best to drink less alcohol and not eat raw food and the like. .”

"Master Shigu, please rest assured, I will definitely supervise him." He Gong said seriously.

Tokugawa Iemo could only smile wryly. Drinking a glass of wine is a hobby of many men in this era. It seems that this fun will be deprived in the future.

However, Fuyuya's words finally relieved the two of them from a heartache - in fact, Tokugawa Jiashige and Kazumiya also vaguely felt that his illness was not as simple as acclimatization.

Iemo Tokugawa couldn't drink alcohol, so Kazumiya took the initiative to offer a toast to Fuyuya instead of her husband.

"Master Shigu, if you have anything that needs us, please tell us, please give us a chance to thank you."

"...Is that so..."

Dongmi thought for a while, and there was really something he wanted them to help with. He turned his gaze to Liang Xia, who was seated at the same table, and stretched out his hand to touch the top of the adopted daughter's hair, who looked particularly well-behaved in front of the general and his wife, "Liang Xia will be full soon. She is 14 years old, and I plan to make a dress for her, and I hope you, Odaisho, can tie a belt for her."

He Gong immediately agreed: "No problem, I will definitely spare time."

By the way, Tokugawa Jiamao died because of beriberi_(:зゝ∠)_

And the death of He Gong in the future is also due to beriberi~

It can be seen that people at that time really didn't know how to treat them, and they didn't know the cause of the disease~ It is said that Lanfang medicine (Neon was greatly influenced by the Netherlands at that time, and the knowledge that was mainly passed in was from the Netherlands, so I learned Western medicine. The doctor is called Lanfangyi, and the Western medicine is called Lanxue) Matsumoto Yoshitsumi, those who have seen Hakuoki should know that it is the bald doctor who helped the Shinsengumi to check and find out the condition of the head office. He treated Jiamao, but he was not cured .

But our ancestors had records of "beriberi caused by eating white rice for a long time" as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties~

It’s just that at that time, the influence of neon and Western medicine was relatively large, and Chinese medicine was on the decline. It can only be said that Jiamao chose the wrong patient, and if he chose a Chinese medicine, he might be able to cure it ╮(╯_╰)╭
