Chapter 737: Stroke
"Come on, what's wrong with the third prince?" Chongzhen forcibly suppressed the strong dizziness in his brain and asked urgently.
"Your Majesty, just today the slave maid got the news from the Dongchang Fanzi Pegasus, the three princes were chased and killed by the Tartars in Huai'an, and they died, and most of the Dongchang personnel who accompanied the protection were killed in the battle, and only one escaped and reported to the Dongchang. As soon as the slave maid received the news, she thought of Li Guofu's private meeting in the north yesterday, and was afraid that Li Guofu would be unfavorable to His Majesty, so she asked Your Majesty to take him down. ”
Han Zanzhou was still chattering, Chongzhen was already spinning, and he couldn't listen to his words anymore.
"The third prince is dead, my only son is dead...... Chongzhen muttered, his head buzzed, and he couldn't control his body anymore, and he lay on his back on the brocade, and he didn't know his body for a while.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The two little eunuchs waiting next to him noticed Chongzhen's strange appearance, and hurriedly ran to Chongzhen, calling out in a sad voice.
Han Zanzhou jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, took a few steps to Chongzhen's couch, stretched out his hand to probe Chongzhen's snort, but there was still a faint breath.
"Your Majesty is in a coma, go and ask the imperial doctor to come!" Han Zanzhou ordered a little eunuch, and the little eunuch hurriedly went in a panic.
"Pass the order, martial law in the palace, and transfer people from Dongchang to come and strictly guard the Qianqing Palace." Han Zanzhou commanded again.
"Ancestor, at this time, you should go and invite a few cabinet elders to come over, right?" Another eunuch hurriedly said.
"A few pavilion elders naturally want to invite, but this palace must be strictly investigated, and all the details of the fornication of the tartars must be arrested." Han Zanzhou said coldly.
Among all the eunuchs in the palace, Han Zanzhou had the highest position and the most powerful, and the little eunuchs in the palace respected him as the ancestor. And now Li Guofu, who is highly regarded by Chongzhen, has been arrested, and Tian Cheng, another great eunuch in charge, has not shown his head for some reason, and when Chongzhen is unconscious, everything can only be left to Han Zanzhou, and no one dares to have other opinions.
Han Zanzhou's order was quickly executed, and a large number of Dongchang fans blocked the water of the guards of the Qianqing Palace, and the entire palace was put under martial law. Han Zanzhou's henchmen and eunuchs began to fill the palace, and Li Guofu's henchmen and concubines were all arrested.
The changes in the palace naturally cannot be hidden from the cabinet, after all, the cabinet office is in the palace.
In the cabinet room of Wenyuan Pavilion, when I heard that there was a change in the palace, Qian Qianyi and Wang Duo and two scholars gathered in the class room of the first assistant Shi Kefa, discussing what happened.
"The two elders don't need to panic, the old man has already sent someone to find out the news, and he will find out soon." Shoufu Shi Kefa soothed.
"Alas, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's illness has recurred, although the situation in the Ming Dynasty has improved, but it is still very serious, Your Majesty has been unwilling to establish the vassal king as the prince, if Your Majesty has any accidents, how can this be good?" Wang Duo said dejectedly.
The second assistant, Qian Qianyi, sat upright in the chair, slowly blowing the duckweed in the teacup, looking unfazed, but the rapid rolling of his eyes under his eyelids proved that he was also nervous.
It didn't take long for a little eunuch to come to the cabinet and invite a few cabinet elders to the Qianqing Palace.
"What the hell is going on?" On the way, Shi Kefa couldn't help but ask the little eunuch who led the way.
Shi Kefa is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is in a high position, and the little eunuch didn't dare to hide it at all, so he told Chongzhen that he was seriously ill and in a coma.
"Why did you suddenly fall into a coma?" Shi Kefa said anxiously, his pace becoming more and more urgent.
Before entering the Qianqing Palace, he noticed the strict atmosphere in the palace, Shi Kefa didn't care, Chongzhen suddenly fell into a coma, and it was understandable that the palace was a little nervous.
However, when he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Shi Kefa was shocked to see that it was not Li Guofu who presided over the affairs of the Qianqing Palace, but Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, which was really a little shocked. However, this is not the time to ask more, because the imperial doctor is looking at Chongzhen's illness.
Several imperial doctors took turns to take the pulse of Chongzhen on the sickbed, and Shi Kefa looked at it from the side, and saw that Chongzhen's eyes on the sickbed were closed, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
After taking turns to take the pulse, the faces of several imperial doctors were very solemn.
"Envoy Han, what's wrong with Your Majesty's illness?" Shi Kefa was the first to speak, and asked an imperial doctor surnamed Han, the imperial doctor Han is the envoy of the Wupin Academy, the person in charge of the Tai Hospital, and the Chinese medicine skills among the imperial doctors are also the highest.
"Hui Yuanfu, Your Majesty's illness is not optimistic. Originally, His Majesty was seriously ill, and although there was an improvement in the lesions, it was far from being removed, and his body was very weak. and suddenly received a major stimulus, resulting in a sudden aggravation of the mood and even fainting, which is a stroke disease! Imperial Doctor Han shook his head and sighed.
Stroke! Shi Kefa's hands and feet were suddenly cold.
Stroke is known as cerebrovascular disease in later generations, it is caused by blood clots blocking blood vessels, after stroke, one side of the limb can not move and can not speak, and the severe person dies suddenly from cerebral hemorrhage, which is also a very difficult major disease in later generations.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were no medical methods as advanced as those of later generations, and once you got a stroke, it almost meant death. Even if he didn't die at that time and relied on medicine to maintain his life, being unable to speak or think was no different from dying.
Shi Kefa and others are well-educated people, and they have also been slightly involved in medicine, so they know how dangerous this disease is.
After several imperial doctors consulted together, they came to the conclusion that Chongzhen was undoubtedly suffering from a stroke, so the imperial doctor Han prescribed the medicine, and after the unanimous consent of several other imperial doctors, he went to the imperial pharmacy to grab the medicine and boil it, and there is no need to say more.
"Good manner, how could Your Majesty suddenly have a stroke, Gonggong Han, what happened?" Shi Kefa's sharp eyes stared at Han Zanzhou and asked in a deep voice.
"It's all to blame for Li Guofu, he colluded with the Manchu spies and betrayed the information to the Manchus, causing the whereabouts of the three princes to be leaked and killed by the Manchu pursuers, His Majesty was extremely shocked when he heard the news, and then he fell into a coma." Han Zanzhou hurriedly said.
"The Third Prince? What the three princes, you make it clear! Shi Kefa and the others were shocked, and Qian Qianyi couldn't help but ask. The whereabouts of the three princes were strictly guarded after Chongzhen's decree, and even several members of the cabinet did not know the news that the three princes were alive.
So Han Zanzhou told the story of the incident, and after hearing it, Shi Kefa and the others looked at each other and were relatively speechless.
"Your Majesty is worried that the news will be unfavorable to the three princes after it is leaked, and for the safety of the three princes, it is ordered not to be leaked, who knows that Li Guofu, the dog thing, actually colluded with the Mantars to leak the news, causing the three princes to be killed, and His Majesty suffered a stroke."
