[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

"My servant dares to ask the prince if he has ever thought about it, if the one who ascended the throne was not the current emperor, but the one who was expelled from the palace, what would be the situation of the emperor and you now?"

Hong Zhou's eyes, which were originally foggy and out of focus, suddenly widened after hearing this question, and even Hong Li looked at He Shen in surprise.

He Shen paused for a moment, and then said: "My servant dared to assume that the Lord succeeded to the throne. I am afraid that today the emperor will not have the opportunity to stand in the prince's mansion and talk to you."

No one understands the meaning of He Shen's words better than the two brothers Hongli and Hongzhou: their third brother Hongshi has a violent temper and is moody.Whenever Hongli was praised by the elders, although Hongshi didn't say anything, he didn't know how much resentment he had accumulated in his heart.If he really ascended to the throne, the first one to be removed must be his fourth brother, Hongli.

When Heshen was researching the history of the Aixinjueluo family in modern times, he vaguely felt that perhaps Yongzheng chose Hongli in the end. Apart from the fact that he was the favorite of Emperor Kangxi, he valued him more, which resembled the benevolence of his father Huang Ma.It is said that knowing a son is better than a father, Emperor Yongzheng chose Hongli, which to some extent left a way out for Hongshi.Just like what Hongli did after the death of Emperor Yongzheng, he restored Hongshi's clan, and at the same time treated Hongzhou, his half-brother, kindly.

Hongzhou remained calm on the face, but he had already imagined what He Shen said in his heart: he remembered that Hongli taught him to read and write when he was a child, and reminded him quietly when he couldn't recite books; Hongli's skills are stronger than him, but he always secretly let him win a few rounds; he remembered that he made a mistake, Hongli asked to be punished with him, and the two walked in the courtyard together.

In the heart of little Hongzhou, Hongli is the best brother.But as they grew up year by year, they first became kings and then princes, and everyone gradually acquiesced that Hongli was the heir apparent.The mother and concubine told him that he had to salute when he saw Hongli in the future.

They all went out of the palace to build mansions, and apart from going to court to discuss matters, they rarely met in private.In the court hall, Hongshi and Hongli often confront each other because of errands, and neither will let the other.Several times Hongzhou went to Hongli's mansion with the chess records, but was told that Prince Bao had gone on a business trip and hadn't returned.

Later, Hongshi was stripped of his clan status, and Hongli took that position.Standing on Danbi, looking at Hongli sitting on the throne, he suddenly felt that he had become so strange.Hongzhou tested again and again, to what extent Hongli could tolerate him.In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he was the only one who dared to question Hongli, and he was the only one who beat the emperor's companion without any damage.

Hongli was the most tolerant and good enough to him, but he always had a thorn in his heart, as if he had to prove it repeatedly: Is this still the fourth brother who was very patient with him and loved him so much?But occasionally he is afraid that Hongli is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, as long as he gives an order, he may also be like Hongshi, and the title of prince will be destroyed in one fell swoop.In his heart, there was a deformed expectation: Why wasn't Hiroshi the one who sat on the throne in the end?If it was the third brother, then he and Hongli would still be on equal footing, and the brotherhood would remain the same as before.

But He Shen's words awakened him. They are the children of the Tian family, the third elder brother who is self-willed and jealous.

"Fourth brother...fourth brother!" Hongzhou called Hongli as if he had just woken up from a dream, groping around the side of the couch with his frail arms.Hongli recovered from the shock, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Hongzhou's hand tightly.

"Brother is here... Fifth Brother, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"Xiao Wu, it doesn't matter if you can't recite it, brother will teach you."

"Xiao Wu, Father Huang Ma gave me a lot of novelties. This western watch is used to tell the time. This is..."

"Fourth brother kneels with you, it's just a good time to practice your physique. My husband said that we, sons of Manchuria, are not afraid of this."

Hongli held Hongzhou's hand like this, as if he had returned to his youth: he was still the good brother who could do everything, and Hongzhou was the eccentric follower younger brother.

He Shen watched from the side, heaved a sigh of relief, the tense nerves relaxed, and the palms felt pain.Hongli said in a low voice: "Hurry up and apply the medicine, call the imperial doctors to the main hall, I will be there in a while."

He Shen led Yong Yong out of the door, settled the child, and comforted Wu Zaku, and then summoned everyone from the Imperial Hospital to wait in the main hall.

After a stick of incense, Hongli saw that Hongzhou was fast asleep, so he put his hand under the quilt softly and left quietly.

In the main hall, a group of imperial physicians were not sure of the emperor's intentions, so they could only ask He Shen for help in a panic: "My lord, I am stupid and do not understand the holy will. I hope that my lord can give some pointers."

He Shen smiled and said comfortingly: "You don't need to panic, you just need to try your best to treat Prince He's illness. The emperor values ​​Prince He, and I implore you, as long as there is a safe prescription, you might as well try it. It will be cured With Prince He, you will definitely enjoy endless benefits, if the cure can't be cured... the emperor is angry, even He can't guarantee everyone's safety."

He Shen's voice was very soft, but what he said made all the imperial doctors suffer, especially the judge from the Tai Hospital, whose brows were so wrinkled that they could kill a fly.

When Hongli stepped into the main hall, he felt a dignified atmosphere, and a bunch of imperial doctors lowered their heads.Hongli ordered the evacuation of the mourning hall in the main hall, and asked, "According to all of you, what illness did Prince He suffer from this time?"

The imperial doctors looked around, and the court judge came forward and said: "If you go back to the emperor, you will be as thin as the prince, and you will cough up blood. The blood is bright red. It may be... tuberculosis."

Hongli was in a trance when he heard the words, fixed his eyes on the judge, and asked sharply, "Are you sure?"

Tuberculosis is what modern people often call tuberculosis. Chinese herbal medicine cannot cure it. In ancient times, it was almost equivalent to an incurable disease.

Under Hongli's questioning, the court judge hesitated and said, "This..."

He Shen glanced at the court judge without any trace, he knew that the imperial doctor was an extremely risky job.When the disease was cured, the emperor was happy, and immediately gained fame and fortune; but if there was a slight mistake, the family would be separated the next second.Therefore, the court's judgment is very likely to be overstated.The good news is that Hong Zhou may not have suffered from tuberculosis; the bad news is that Hong Zhou is really sick this time.

Hongli said in a deep voice: "If any of you can heal Prince He, I will give him a house and be promoted by two ranks."

Everyone was silent for a long time, and when Hongli's patience was about to run out, one person came out and said, "I disagree with the judge's statement. Although the prince is coughing up blood, and the blood is bright red, but the inside of his mouth is red and yellow. Symptoms are inconsistent with tuberculosis. In addition, patients with tuberculosis have rosy cheeks, but the prince’s face is sallow. Therefore, I believe that what the prince suffers from is not tuberculosis, but liver fire in the lungs. This disease also has symptoms of coughing up blood, but it is not the same as tuberculosis. In comparison, it is a disease that is easily cured."

Hongli looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and asked, "Who are you?"

"Returning to the emperor, this minister is Xu Jie, the head of the imperial hospital. This time, he is responsible for recording the medical records and carrying the medicine bags for you adults."

Hongli frowned and said, "You are somewhat sure of Prince He's illness."

Xu Jie replied: "I have [-]% certainty."

Hongli nodded slowly and said, "He Shen, lead him to write a prescription."

He Shen made a gesture of invitation and led Xu Jie there.The court judge looked at the emperor's face cautiously, and said hesitantly: "Your majesty...Xu Jie is just a ninth-rank official, and his qualifications are still young, so it is really difficult for him to take on this important task."

Hongli glanced at him coldly: "Then according to your diagnosis, is there a prescription that can cure tuberculosis?"

The court judge lowered his head and replied vaguely in a low voice: "No...no."

"Since you have no cure, why can't I let Xu Jie give it a try?"

The judgment of the middle court in the main hall was rendered speechless by Hongli's words, while Xu Jie was deliberating over the prescription in the side room.

He Shen waited for a cup of tea when Xu Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the written prescription to He Shen.

There are some common medicinal materials in the prescription: gentian, scutellaria, angelica, plantain and so on.Xu Jie pointed to the top of the paper, and calmly explained: "This medicinal juice is called Longdan Xiegan Decoction. My lord's liver and lungs have been damaged this time. This soup has the effect of clearing the liver and removing heat."

He Shen went to look at another prescription. This one used more common medicinal materials, mulberry bark and licorice. Even He Shen, a layman in traditional Chinese medicine, had heard of it.Seeing that He Shen was watching seriously, Xu Jie gradually let go of his guard, and said with a light smile, "This one is called Xiebai San, and it is mainly used to treat cough and asthma due to lung heat. Take it together with Longdan Xiegan Decoction, and you will be cured after half a month. "

He Shen nodded, handing the prescription to the servants of the palace, and said with a smile: "Master Xu has excellent medical skills, I admire you."

Xu Jie is just a ninth-rank official, and he has never been treated courteously by an official of He Shen's rank.He waved his hand flattered, and opened up the conversation as if meeting a close friend: "My lord, to tell you the truth, Prince He is very sick this time. I have little medical experience, but Prince and Prince's food and clothing expenses are excellent , and he is pampered on weekdays, but his liver and lungs are so severely damaged, it really puzzles me."

He Shen smiled, raised his eyebrows and said: "Master Xu, practitioners only need to prescribe the right medicine and concentrate on treating diseases and saving lives. Don't ask about some things that shouldn't be asked, are you right?"

Xu Jie was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again, and looked at He Shen's leaving back, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He Shen walked on the corridor of the palace, but he kept thinking about Xu Jie's words.Hong Zhou's liver and lungs were severely damaged, which may have something to do with his years of smoking opium.In the Qing Dynasty, because opium was something that princes and aristocrats had the financial resources to smoke, and because of the high spirits after smoking, it was generally considered to be refreshing and prolonging life.Hong Zhou is a noble man with rich family wealth, and he has been addicted to it for a long time, unable to extricate himself from it.If you can't quit opium, even if you are lucky enough to be saved this time, you will still be killed by this "slow killer" soon.

Thinking of this, He Shen couldn't help speeding up his pace.
