Reincarnation of the powerful minister

In the 17th year of Jinglong, in the winter of Yiwei, the emperor died in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at the age of 38.

The whole country was in mourning, thousands of miles away, and the posthumous edict was passed down to all the prefectures and counties in the world. The officials and people all wore poor clothes and cried bitterly in the direction of the emperor's palace.

The mourning must last for three days. This is not only a rule of etiquette, but also the deepest sorrow and condolences of the subjects for the successful emperor.

Wearing plain clothes and a white gauze cap, Su Yan walked past a group of weeping officials. In the cold wind, his face was as white as porcelain, so white that it was indifferent and bloodless.

Some officials stopped crying, showed dissatisfaction towards his back, and loudly said deliberately: "The emperor ascended to mourn, but Su Qinghe didn't shed a single tear. It's really disrespectful!"

"Don't dare to say that!" Another official stopped, "Don't you know about the matter of asking Gu to give wine?"

"What wine?"

So the officials told how the majesty entrusted the lonely and important ministers to test him in public, and how Su Yan willingly drank alcohol to be buried as a funeral.The dissatisfied official was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "So loyal... Sigh, I'm not as good as him."

Su Yan heard the words blowing in the wind, but seemed to have heard nothing.On the floor in front of the dragon bed, the glass of dark wine was placed in front of him. He raised his eyes from the glass and bumped into the eyes of the emperor.

At that moment, he understood everything.

There can be no poison in the wine, and it is impossible for the emperor to let him be buried. This is another game, in order to prove to the important ministers present and more people who will be preached by them in the future, what a loyal minister and martyr Su Yan is, and it also means A loyal man like this who is willing to sacrifice his life will never rely on his friendship with his successor to manipulate power and influence the will of the emperor.

And deliberately put the act of giving wine before the sick bed, making him a minister of Tuogu who passed the test, and let the young master worship him as a teacher. .

With this in mind, although Su Yan was a little concerned that he was also being tricked, he still drank the glass of wine happily, and accompanied the emperor to perform the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers.

——However, what is the use of more righteousness?His prince is gone.

At that time, sitting side by side on a tall building, looking at the mountains and rivers under the rising sun, the emperor leaned his head on his shoulders, motionless, as if he was deeply asleep.

Su Yan thought of four words, "Returning to the light and returning to the light", but now even the return to the light has fallen to Yu Yuan.

The palace people rushed upstairs in panic, followed by Chen Shiyu.

Since the Empress Dowager banned him from mentioning craniotomy last time, he has been on standby in Deyi Pavilion for the past two months, because he was worried that the dragon body would not dare to leave the palace, so he did it in a hurry.It was so easy to hear that the emperor woke up suddenly, but in the end he only focused on summoning the ministers, so he wandered around the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, trying to get the emperor's pulse again.

Before he could feel his pulse, he heard that the emperor and Mr. Su had gone upstairs, and now the old man was even more anxious: the person who had been lying down for a long time suddenly woke up and walked around again, maybe it was not a flashback!He hurriedly called the palace servants to bring the stretcher upstairs, and shouted out of breath, "Hurry up! Lay it flat, move lightly, and use a stretcher to carry it."

Su Yan just stood there in a daze, watching them carry the emperor away.As if he woke up suddenly, he called Chen Shiyu: "Mr. Ying Xu—"

Chen Shiyu waved his hands back: "Saving people is like putting out a fire, don't say anything!"

... There are still people who can be saved, and they can still be saved!Su Yan's mind went blank for a moment, and the transition from great sorrow to joy was too fast, draining all of his strength.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he stumbled and chased downstairs.

In the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there is a treatment room specially set up for Chen Shiyu.Last fall, after Su Yan left Beijing, Chen Shiyu followed Su Yan's previous suggestion, scalding all the instruments and tools in the treatment room with boiling water before use, and fumigated the floors and walls with hot vinegar from time to time, trying to keep them as clean and tidy as possible.

Now it's officially coming in handy.

Su Yan chased to the door of the treatment room and watched the stretcher being carried in.Zhu Helin, who was dragged out of the palace because of being stimulated and lost his composure before, was fidgeting in the court. He was the first to rush in when he heard the sound, and saw Chen Shiyu's eyes lit up: "Doctor Chen! My father is fine, you save him quickly!"

Chen Shiyu's face was solemn, he hesitated for a short moment, and bowed his hands to the prince: "I am so bold, I implore His Royal Highness to order you to perform a craniotomy for the emperor!"

Zhu Helin was taken aback: "Wh-what! Craniotomy?! How can people still live?"

Su Yan pulled his sleeve and asked Chen Shiyu, "Mr. Yingxu, how sure are you?"

Chen Shiyu smiled wryly: "I used to boast about Haikou in front of the emperor, and I said less than [-]%. Later, I performed craniotomy on several patients with no cure, and the result... none of them woke up. I just want to say Is it a crime to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor?"

Zhu Helin doubted whether this old man was reliable or not. How could he dare to open his father's head without a single case of successful operation?

He was about to speak with a livid face when Su Yan suddenly rushed out of the palace door and shouted to the roof and the surroundings: "Achai! Ahchai—"

The shout echoed over the empty courtyard, and before the lingering sound ceased, Jing Hongzhui appeared from nowhere and appeared in front of him: "Your subordinate is here, what orders does your lord have?"

Su Yan had guessed before that Ah Zhui was sent out of the palace by Lan Xi and never left the palace at all. He must have sneaked back after King Yu left and hid there to silently guard his safety.

"It's too late to say more! Ah Zhui, I heard that you can detect the lesion in the emperor's brain with true energy?" Su Yan asked anxiously.

Jing Hongzhui nodded: "It's just to detect the location and size, but it can't remove the lesion."

"It's enough, and Mr. Yingxu's scalpel!"

When he was recovering from a shoulder injury in the hospital last year, he drew a few drawings for Chen Shiyu, saying that a small knife of this shape is easy to hold and apply force, and the blade should be as thin and sharp as possible, which is most suitable for surgeons.

This was the second big gift Su Yan gave him after catgut. Chen Shiyu attached great importance to it and immediately asked a blacksmith to make it.As a result, the craftsmanship was not good, and it was either scrapped directly, or the blade was too thick to be used.

In the end, it was King Yu who helped, and asked the forging craftsmen of Tiangongyuan to help make it. Using high-quality fine iron, it failed for the third time, and finally made this kind of scalpel.Later, I made a set according to the pattern.

As if Chen Shiyu had found a treasure, he took it with him when he went to the doctor, and took good care of it.

Su Yan chased Jing Hong to the front of the consulting room, and pushed Chen Shiyu in front of her: "This is for you! Contrast agent!"

"...what do you remember?"

"Cough, don't worry about it, anyway, it can help you find out exactly where the lesion is."

Chen Shiyu was surprised and delighted: "Really? That's great! When the old man performed craniotomy before, he often suffered from not being able to find the location of the lesion. He was worried that if he dug too deep, he would hurt his brain, and if he dug too shallow, it would not be in place. This time It can be regarded as timely rain!"

"How sure?" Su Yan asked again.

Chen Shiyu said: "One is to see if this little brother's positioning is accurate, and the other is to see if the old man's eyes are bright enough, whether his hands are steady enough, and whether the knife is fast enough... It should be [-] to [-] percent."

"One to two percent? This is too low!" Zhu Helin frowned greatly.

"The emperor is critically ill, and his heartbeat has stopped suddenly. With the compression method and artificial respiration method taught by Mr. Su, he regained his breath. If you don't perform the operation, it will be zero."

Hearing this, Zhu Helin immediately decided: "One or two percent is better than nothing! Doctor Chen, since my father trusts you and ordered you to be an imperial medical officer, I will treat you as I want today, and I forgive you for your innocence regardless of success or failure."

With Chu Jun's words, Chen Shiyu felt at ease, and chased Jing Hong: "Come on, wash your hands and change your clothes. Inside, you must first prepare for shaving and injection. You go in with the old man, and follow orders in all actions. "

Jing Hong looked at Su Yan inquiringly.Su Yan nodded at him: "Go, Ah Zhui, just do your best, please."

The two entered the treatment room, brought along a few trained doctors, and closed the door tightly.

Zhu Helin was very worried when he thought of the hand saw in the treatment room, and always felt that this weird old doctor was going to bloody tear his father into pieces.

Su Yan was also anxious and worried.Craniotomy is considered a major surgery even in modern times. Can these two people, an old Chinese doctor... an old Chinese doctor in surgery, and a swordsman with only a little knowledge of medical skills, do it?

But it can only be desperate.

And, it is hoped that the brain herniation is caused by a benign tumor with a complete capsule, which is convenient to cut and not easy to accidentally injure normal brain tissue.The position has to grow shallower so that it can be cut cleanly and it is not easy to relapse.

He and Zhu Helin prayed with all their hearts and waited hard outside the treatment room. They waited from sunrise to almost sunset, but no one inside came out.

Zhu Helin was a little flustered, and couldn't even take care of drinking water, so he asked Su Yan repeatedly: "What's the matter, it's been so long, is it all right inside, when will people come out?"

Su Yan was also flustered, and forced himself to inhale to calm down, and said, "It's been four hours, it should be soon, wait a little longer."

On the way, Chen Shiyu came out, went to the hut, and drank some ginseng soup, otherwise he would be too old to hold on.

The ginseng soup was drunk very quickly, but this trip to the hut took a long time, so long that Su Yan wondered if the old doctor had severe constipation, and why he had an attack at this moment.

After finally waiting for Chen Shiyu to come back, Su Yan and Zhu Helin seized the time to ask him, "What's the matter?"

Chen Shiyu cleaned his hands and changed his clothes again, and hurriedly said: "Dig it out, use gut to suture the meninges, and then fix the skull with small iron nails, and then the scalp can be sutured layer by layer."

Su Yan didn't know much about medicine. He only chatted with a talkative and optimistic brain tumor patient about the operation process in the waiting room of the hospital in his previous life. He knew something about it, so he hurriedly reminded: "There is still drainage." As for what drainage to use and how to do it, He didn't know either.

Chen Shiyu knew better than him: "Is it the gauze that was put on the wound after the operation to drain the exudate? Don't worry, old people often use it. However, gauze cannot be used for craniotomy, and it is difficult to replace. You have to use a special thin tube, which is stuffed on it when suturing the meninges." .”

Su Yan didn't have time to care about the material of the tube and whether it could be used, Chen Shiyu hurried into the treatment room again.

He and Zhu Helin had no choice but to continue looking at the door and sighing.

A voice suddenly came from behind: "Kowtow to see the young master, I have met Master Su."

It was Shen Qi's voice.Su Yan looked back at him and saw that his face was better than when they met at the gate of the city yesterday, thinking that his injury had improved.Even though he was still worried at this moment, he couldn't help but feel joy when he saw Shen Qi, he said softly: "Why is Qilang here? Aren't you going to deal with the follow-up matters of Jinwu Guard and Habayashi Guard?"

Shen Qi said: "Commander Long has taken over. I heard that the emperor summoned important officials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, including you. Let me see the situation."

What do you see?Look again, my father's courtiers are no match for you.Zhu Helin still didn't like Shen Qi, but after three days and nights of helping each other in the same boat, the hostility had faded a lot, and he barely felt a little distressed, so he didn't speak out against him.

Su Yan said: "Mr. Yingxu and Ah Zhui are treating the emperor inside. I don't know when they will recover...Is this too long?"

Shen Qi thought for a while, and said: "I'll go in and have a look, if necessary, I can help."

"You're not a doctor, so don't make trouble." Zhu Helin said, seeing Chen Shiyu open the door again and come out.

Chen Shiyu had a look of helplessness on his face, when he saw Shen Qi, he immediately said: "Master Shen, you are old and clumsy, you should come."

Clumsy?Do I still need to use my mouth for surgery?Su Yan was baffled, even if Shen Qi was eloquent, so what, could it be possible that the stage surgery could be done with words?

Also, Mr. Ying Xu rushed to talk to Shen Qi as soon as he went out, how did he know that Shen Qi was outside the door?

Shen Qi washed her hands and face without hesitation, changed her clothes and followed Chen Shiyu into the treatment room.

After another meal, the three of them came out one after another.When Su Yan saw their expressions, his heart sank.

Zhu Helin's complexion changed, and he hurriedly asked, "How?"

Chen Shiyu lowered his head, and said in a guilty low voice: "I have tried my best, helpless...helpless...ah!"

Su Yan swayed, and firmly grasped the arm of the prince next to him, and the two supported each other so that their feet did not fall to the ground.He opened his eyes wide, glanced blankly through the covered door, then turned to Jing Hongzhui, and asked incredulously, "—— Ah Zhui?"

Jing Hongzhui's face was expressionless, even her eyeballs were cold, she was silent for a moment, and then she opened her mouth, every word seemed to have been bitten hard between her teeth, revealing a sense of unwillingness: "It's because the subordinates are unable to catch up. "

Chen Shiyu hurriedly said: "Jing Hong's bodyguard is also doing his best, so we can't blame him."

Who is to blame?Blame God who regards everything as a humble dog, or blame Mingming for trying hard to be a butterfly, fanning off the young master's red crane crest, but not being able to fan the emperor's own brain tumor?Su Yan looked at Shen Qi blankly and painfully, opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.

Shen Qi's eyes flickered, she moved away slightly, and her voice was dull: "Qinghe, sit down first, take a breath before speaking..."

Su Yan suddenly let go of the prince's arm, and was about to rush in the door, but Jing Hongzhui stretched out his arm to hold him, and lightly brushed the back of his neck with his fingertips.

Su Yan fainted immediately.

"My lord hasn't slept all night, and hasn't eaten for another day. I'm suddenly agitated, and I'm afraid my body won't be able to take it anymore." Jing Hongzhui explained.

Zhu Helin's whole body was stiff, his face pale, and he shook his head again and again: "Impossible! I don't believe it! Father will be fine, he is the Son of Heaven! The Son of Heaven is ordered by the heavens, and the gods bless..."

He pushed Shen Qi who was in the way, trying to rush into the treatment room.Jing Hongzhui took advantage of his confusion and easily knocked him out.

The palace servants hurried forward to support the prince, and sent him to the couch in the side hall together with the fainted Su Yan to take care of him.

Chen Shiyu stroked his beard with his hands, and sighed one after another with a sad face.

On the other hand, Shen Qi quickly recovered her normal look, and said to the palace: "Send the imperial physician over to diagnose the emperor's pulse."

All the envoys and judges from Tai Hospital came.Court Envoy Wang followed Shen Qi into the consultation room, and came out a while later, announcing with tears in his trembling voice: "My lord... It's heaven!"
