Jingshi, after winter, the weather is as cold as a day, as the weather gradually gets colder, the huge Jingshi reconstruction project gradually stopped, but the prosperity of Jingshi is not affected at all, large and small teahouses, restaurants, theaters are almost overcrowded, because of the demolition and engineering, many Jingshi residents are very loose at hand, and the days are naturally moisturized.

In the large and heated office on the second floor of the Prime Minister's Office, the official residence of the Prime Minister, Yi Yi carefully looked at the progress report of the Beijing Division reconstruction project that had just been submitted, Yuan Qi attached great importance to the reconstruction of the Beijing Division, and allocated 30 million yuan for the early rectification and construction project alone, which was unimaginable before.

"Lord Wang——。" The secretary came in and reported softly: "Weng Tongyi is out asking to see." ”

Weng Tongyi? Yi Yi was slightly surprised, Weng Tongyi was a cabinet bachelor and a waiter in the Ministry of Rites before the constitution, and then he was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he has never been taken seriously, what did he do? After a moment's hesitation, he ordered, "Let him in." ”

Still with braids, but in a suit Weng Tongyi came in steadily, he is Xianfeng six years champion, Qi Xiang four years to walk in the Hongde Palace, read Emperor Qixiang, after the salute he said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, the emperor caught a cold in Xiyuan a few days ago, and his condition gradually became serious, according to the diagnosis ......of the imperial doctor Li Zhuxuan, the emperor seems to have smallpox." ”

Smallpox? Yi Yi couldn't help but be stunned, smallpox can kill people in these years! He hurriedly asked, "Didn't the emperor have pox?" ”

It is not for nothing that he asked, since the Kangxi Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has begun to vaccinate against smallpox, and in the Jiaqing period, the scope of vaccinia vaccination has been expanded from the north to the south, and it has spread throughout the country, how could the emperor be infected with smallpox?

Weng Tongyi also didn't know what was going on, and immediately replied: "The lower officials don't know what the reason is, but the emperor's symptoms are indeed smallpox." ”

Qi Xiang is only 19 years old this year! Yi Yi sighed slightly before saying, "The Tai Hospital treats carefully. After a pause, he continued: "The emperor's illness can be reported at any time." ”

"Yes, the subordinate obeys." Weng Tongyi hurriedly bowed and said.

Qi Xiang was indeed infected with smallpox, from October 30 to November 9, his face was full of grouting rash bubbles, but his complexion was not bad.

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Book House.

"How could the emperor be infected with smallpox?" Zhao Liewen said with some uncertainty: "The vaccination of the cowpox vaccine has been transmitted from the north to the south, and the royal family should pay more attention to ......it." ”

Yi Zhishu clearly knew that Tongzhi, which is now Qixiang, died of smallpox, and later generations had three theories about the cause of Tongzhi's death, smallpox, syphilis, smallpox and syphilis complications.

The second statement is obviously not credible, not to mention whether Tongzhi has the opportunity to go out of the palace to visit the kiln, even if he is infected with syphilis, he will not die of syphilis at the age of nineteen, although syphilis is a terminal disease in these years, but it will not die so quickly, the incubation period of syphilis is very long, and it will take at least five or six years to develop to the later stage, and Tongzhi will not go out of the palace to visit the kiln at the age of thirteen or fourteen?

Now it seems that Qixiang contracted smallpox is undoubtedly confirmed, as for whether he was infected with syphilis, it is difficult to say whether it caused smallpox and syphilis complications, and Yi Zhizhi did not have the heart to explore, after all, Qixiang was still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not a glorious thing to be infected with syphilis.

After a slight sigh, he said: "The mortality rate of smallpox is extremely high, and Qi Xiang has no heirs. ”

These words clearly showed that he did not have any hope for Qi Xiang's recovery, and Zhao Liewen couldn't help but be stunned, "The emperor is in his prime, isn't it like this?" ”

Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said faintly: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky. ”

Jingshi, the Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Empress Dowager Ci'an's eyes were slightly red and looked at Qixiang who was sleeping on the dragon's collapse, since yesterday (23rd), the condition began to deteriorate, and people became weak, so that she was worried, since Qixiang had a pox, she invited the 'pox god Niangniang' to be enshrined in the Yangxin Palace, and in the Ministry of Rites to the heavens and saints to add titles, so that the ministers were wishful, and personally went to the Shouhuang Palace to acquiesce to the ancestors, praying for the blessing of the ancestors.

She did everything she needed to do, but Qi Xiang's condition was still deteriorating day by day, she was miserable and frightened in her heart, and stood still for a while before she walked out of the dormitory, and asked as she walked, "Where is the imperial doctor?" ”

Li Zhuxuan, the imperial doctor who had been waiting outside the door of the dormitory, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and said, "Weichen knocks on the queen mother." ”

"How is the emperor's condition, play it truthfully."

After kowtowing heavily, Li Zhuxuan said in a muffled voice: "Back to the queen mother, the emperor's pulse is weak and weak, the swollen place between the waist, the two holes are pus, and the fishy water is also flowing, and the root plate is very large, gradually flowing to the back, the outer ulcer is very large, and the internal ulcer is ......." ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an's face became more and more gloomy, interrupted him, and asked in a deep voice: "The mourning family only asks one sentence, are you sure?" ”

Qi Xiang's condition was already very serious, how dare Li Zhuxuan say that he was sure, so he had to knock his head on the ground, Ci'an felt uncomfortable, but he didn't anger him, and instead ordered: "Please King Gong into the palace." ”

Yi Yi also learned that Qi Xiang's condition had deteriorated, and when he heard Ci'an's call, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly changed his court clothes and hurried into the palace. As he spoke, he commanded, "Enjoy the tea." ”

After Yi Yi thanked her, she said slowly: "The emperor's condition has been deteriorating since yesterday, and the imperial doctors are helpless..... can the emperor have a good plan?" ”

Yi Yi said without thinking: "Wei Chen implores that Western doctors are allowed to enter the palace ........" ”

With the opening of Tianjin in recent years, with the great improvement of the relationship between the imperial court and Britain and France, and the establishment of legations in Beijing by Western countries, a large number of Western diplomats, missionaries, and businessmen were stationed in Beijing and Tianjin, and Western medicine also took root in Beijing and Tianjin.

In addition to the Western Hospital opened by foreigners, there are also Western hospitals opened by Yuanqi, the Army Hospital of Beijing Division, and the Navy Hospital of Tianjin.

However, there are still some concerns about inviting Western doctors into the palace, Western doctors are both anesthesia and surgery, and they are not allowed to be bystanders, and if they put their lives in the hands of the other party, she groaned slightly, and then she said: "Which Western doctor does Uncle Huang think is more appropriate?" ”

Yi Yi pondered and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, if it is appropriate, it is naturally an army hospital." ”

Ci'an said with some concern: "I heard that the army hospital has an extremely close relationship with Yuan Qi? ”

The military doctors of the army hospital are all from the two medical colleges in Guangzhou and Shanghai founded by Yuan Qi, and the hospital itself was also founded by Yuan Qi, so how close is the relationship with Yuan Qi? In Yi Yi's view, for this reason, the army hospital will inevitably do its best to heal it.

However, Ci'an was not at ease with the army hospital, and Yi Yi did not force it, Yi Zhizhi called him to take precautions and set the candidate for the prince in advance, obviously not confident in Qixiang's recovery, he turned to say: "The Shi Hospital opened by the British is slightly famous in Beijing, and Dr. Dezhen is a doctor of medicine who graduated from the University of Edinburgh in England, and his medical skills are superb ........ ”

Ci'an had also heard of Dezhen's name, and she hesitated: "I heard that Dezhen is only in his early thirties?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and explained: "Western medicine in the Qing Dynasty started late, Western medicine is basically young people, and in their thirties, they are already the longest group of Western doctors. ”

Ci'an now also holds the idea of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and the British doctor is obviously more reassuring to her than Yuanqi's doctor, and after thinking about it for a while, she said: "Summoning Dezhen into the palace." ”

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Book House.

"Summoning Dezhen into the palace to treat the emperor?" Yi Zhixiang was a little surprised, Dezhen he knew, the other party had stayed in Shanghai for a short time at the beginning of his arrival in China, and had taught at the Shanghai Academy of Medical Sciences at his invitation, he couldn't help but secretly worry about the other party, and even more worried that the failure of diagnosis and treatment would damage the reputation of Western medicine.

With the support of Yuan Qi, Western medicine developed very rapidly in several coastal treaty ports and in Beijing, which seriously threatened the status of traditional Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine regarded Western medicine as a great enemy.

Although hundreds of celebrities die at the hands of Chinese medicine every year, Western medicine will become the target of public criticism once a celebrity dies a celebrity.

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Qixiang can be said to be the attention of the government and the opposition, Dezhen entered the palace, once Qixiang died, Chinese medicine will inevitably take this opportunity to hype, which will cause a serious and even devastating blow to the reputation of Western medicine.

Li Hongzhang glanced at him a little strangely, and said: "Announcing the summoning of Western doctors into the palace should be that the hospital is helpless, and it is enough to show that the emperor is in critical condition." ”

Zhao Liewen faintly guessed the other party's thoughts, and said thoughtfully: "Dezhen travels around the princes and nobles in Beijing, has a wide range of contacts, and his knowledge is extraordinary, so he should know the importance ....... ”

"I hope so......" Yi Zhizu sighed lightly, although he was worried, he was unwilling to intervene, Yuan Qi's birth has changed the fate of too many people, Qi Xiang is also one of them, maybe because of the intervention of Western medicine, Qi Xiang was able to die Cheng Xiang is also possible.

Jingshi, Forbidden City, Heart Cultivation Palace, Sleeping Palace.

Dezhen, who was in his thirties and wearing a white coat, walked out of the dormitory slowly, and saw Yi Yi and a few people waiting outside the door, he took off his mask and said with a stern expression: "This is a severe pustular rash caused by high fever, which has developed into a serious skin and soft tissue infection, and the scope of infection is very large, a large amount of necrotic tissue and pus accumulate, making the infection difficult to control, and also causing a large number of toxins to be absorbed, and the condition is very serious........" ”

Listening to the translation, Yi Yi's originally solemn expression added a little gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "How to heal?" ”

"The infected area needs to be cut open, the necrotic tissue needs to be removed, the drainage is unobstructed, and the fever needs to be reduced." Dezhen pondered: "Now that Your Majesty's body is extremely weak and his condition is also very serious, I can't rule out complications such as sepsis, I can only say that I will do my best to ......" As he spoke, he glanced at several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital behind Yi Yi, "In terms of reducing fever, you still need the cooperation of the imperial doctor." ”

Hearing that the other party was not sure, Yi Yi's mood became even heavier, and he groaned before he said, "I'll go and ask the Queen Mother." As he spoke, he walked briskly to the East Warm Pavilion.

Ci'an was very decisive, and when she listened to the report, she said without thinking: "Accurate! ”

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the sky was gloomy, and the goose-feather-like snow was sprinkled one after another, and in less than an hour, the Jingshi of Nuoda was wrapped in silver, but the atmosphere in the Heart Nourishing Hall was extremely dull, and the eunuchs and palace maids who came and went were all cautious, and even the footsteps were controlled as much as possible.

In the dormitory, the gray-faced Qi Xiang was lying quietly on the dragon collapse, his cheeks had been seriously deformed because of the swelling, because his lips and cheeks had been swollen and ulcerated, revealing the black gums in his mouth, and Dezhen and several imperial doctors who were guarding the couch looked extremely heavy.

After a long time, the imperial doctor Li Deli sighed lightly, turned around and wrote a prescription and handed it to several imperial doctors.

Yi Yi took the prescription and glanced at the words 'Simulated Pulse San', his face also became extremely pale, he knew very well that the prescription of 'Sheng Mai San' would only take a risk when the patient's six pulses were scattered and his life was hanging by a thread, but it was often just a matter of doing his best, and he seemed to look at Dezhen with some unwillingness.

Seeing him look over, Dezhen said in a heavy tone: "We have done our best, Your Majesty is weak and has serious complications....... ”

The crisp phone sound of "Tick Ring" was particularly harsh at night, and Yi Zhifen and Zhao Liewen, who were absentmindedly playing chess in the study, were both shocked, and it was obviously not a good thing to call at this time, Yi Zhizu subconsciously looked at his watch, a quarter past nine.

Zhao Liewen hurried over to pick up the phone, listened to a few words, and then covered the microphone and said in a heavy tone: "The emperor has died." ”

The intervention of Western medicine ultimately failed to change the fate of Qi Xiang's untimely death! Yi Zhi's content mood was also a little heavy, slowly put down the chess pieces in his hand, got up and went over to take the phone, and asked directly: "Can the prince decide?" ”

Yi Yi's voice sounded extremely tired, "Baylor Zaishu, King Yi of Fujun." ”

Fujun Wang Yishu, the ninth son of Emperor Daoguang, an idle prince, Zai Shu is not his own son, but the heir, to say that this Zai Shu is still the eldest son of Kangxi - the son of Yizhan, the great-grandson of Aixin Jueluo Yinyu, it is obvious that Zai Shu is the prince, whether it is King Gong or Yuan Qi, there will be no objections.

Yi Zhixiang was silent for a while before asking, "The emperor died because of smallpox?" ”

Yi Yi didn't expect him to care about the cause of Qi Xiang's death, and he muttered before saying: "The conclusion of the Tai Hospital is that it is caused by the residual poison of smallpox pox, and finally because of the poisonous fever invagination, the dragon is on the guest. ”
