Chapter 694: Wait a Minute
In the hunting team, there were several imperial doctors, among whom were surgical authorities. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but for the prince's legs, there is just nothing to be done.
Li Shimin sent people back to Xiangyang quickly, summoned all the imperial doctors left on Yuliang Continent, and also sent people to recruit doctors from all over Shannan. One by one, the doctors were sent by fast horses, but they were all worried about the prince's situation and were helpless.
Li Chao can't enter the prince's tent now, Li Shimin accompanies the prince every step of the way, and Li Shimin doesn't want to see Li Chao who opened his mouth to cut off the prince's injured leg.
"How is the prince's condition?" Li Chao asked Ma Zhou, the scholar and the prince.
Ma Zhou is also the prince's teacher and an important member of the emperor's side, and he has the opportunity to enter the account to see the prince. Coming out of there, Ma Zhou's face was very bad.
"The prince has been in a coma for the past two days, and he has also developed a high fever, and even talked nonsense, and his condition is not very good. Xiangguo, is His Royal Highness's leg really gone? ”
Li Chao shook his head.
"His Highness's leg is too badly injured, unless Hua Tuo is alive, no one has this rejuvenation technique. The leg can't be cured, and the key is that it can't endanger the prince's body anymore. If you cut it early, you can still install a prosthetic leg in the future, and the prince can still walk. But if it is delayed, complications or infections can be fatal. ”
"The imperial doctors are very strict with disinfection, so they shouldn't be infected."
"Infection can not only be a superficial wound infection, but also a bone infection, causing bone marrow inflammation. In short, it will be troublesome. Now the prince's symptoms are actually symptoms of infection, coma, fever, nonsense, headache, which is very dangerous. Your Majesty must be advised to make a decision as soon as possible, and it is too late to intercept it now. "Infection can be more serious than a fracture complication, especially if it is a wound infection, which can lead to edema, shock, coma, and even death.
Ma Zhou sighed.
"Your Majesty is very fond of the Crown Prince and has always thought that he is wise, wise and spiritual. He was the eldest son, and he had the style of benevolence, and at a young age, he was already deeply loved by his subjects. ”
Such a good crown prince is now going to cut off a foot.
Of course, the emperor is difficult to accept, not to mention the emperor, even Ma Zhou, the prince's teacher, is difficult to accept. If you miss a foot, you are lame.
The prince was only eight years old, and he became lame, which will bring a serious problem, can the lame Cheng Qian continue to be the prince? No matter how much the emperor liked Cheng Qian, once Cheng Qian amputated, his status as the crown prince would be shaken.
"Cutting off half of your leg isn't that scary, it's going to be safe."
Li Chao said that his heart was also very heavy, but he was not thinking about the prince's missing half-legged image in the future, his first consideration now was the prince's current life safety. If even human lives are gone, what's the point of keeping that leg.
"Is there really no way to save His Highness's legs? It doesn't matter if you don't walk so neatly in the future. Ma Zhou said. Being a little lame and cutting off half of your leg are two completely different things.
Li Chao shook his head.
"Don't you know Sun Silian, a master of folk medicine? He must be able to heal the prince's leg, right? ”
Sun Silian's medical skills are superb, and when he was in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian's father and son recruited him several times to become an official in the court, but Sun Silian was an idle cloud and a crane-like figure, walking the world to help the world, but he was not willing to eat official meals, especially this person often saw the head and the tail, and it was difficult to find others.
Now in the prince's situation, how can he have time to beat Sun Siyan slowly, and when someone is found, the prince who has been infected is estimated to be dead.
Besides, Li Chao didn't believe that Sun Sihua had this ability.
There are specializations in the art industry, and medical skills are also divided into many departments, and doctors are not omnipotent.
Ma Zhou let out another long sigh.
"The prince is only eight years old, so wise, intelligent, and virtuous, why doesn't God open his eyes."
This incident really can't be blamed on the prince, it was just an accident, could it be that God didn't want Cheng Qian to be the prince? Ma Zhou couldn't help but think, but where did the prince lose his morality again?
Or because of the change in Xuanwumen, Cheng Qian's father made a mistake, but Cheng Qian had to bear it.
"Can't wait any longer, three days. The prince's situation will only get worse and worse, and if it drags on, the prince's life will be in danger at any time. I must immediately see His Majesty and persuade His Majesty. ”
"But Your Majesty doesn't want to see you at all now, so he issued an order to the guards early and forbade you to go over."
Li Chao got up, "I have to see it!" ”
After speaking, he went directly out of the tent, and Ma Zhou couldn't stop screaming in the back.
Outside the prince's tent, a team of guards stood guard and performed their duties very dutifully. The team of East Palace guards who followed the prince that day had all been beheaded and executed. Even if it was an accident, but the prince fell from his horse and was injured, they were seriously derelict in their duties.
The emperor was furious, no one persuaded him, and a team of guards was directly killed.
The sons and daughters of the honorable relatives were better and had higher status, but they were all deprived of their posts and honors, and were whipped forty times, and one by one they are still lying in their tents and unable to move.
As soon as Li Chao approached, a spear was aimed at him.
The first important minister of the dynasty, the emperor's in-laws, the prince's father-in-law and teacher Li Xiangguo, were turned away.
"Get out of the way, I want to see Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!" Li Chao drank the order.
"Li Xiang, Your Majesty has a will, and I don't want to see you. We are also on errands, and Li Xiangmo makes it difficult for us to do it. An officer bowed his hand to Li Chao a little helplessly.
Li Chao snorted coldly and rushed straight in, the guards held spears, but they didn't dare to really stab them. could only retreat, Li Chao stiffened his chest and rushed in, and the guards retreated to twenty steps in front of the tent, refusing to retreat again, blocking the way.
"Let me in!"
"Li Xiang, let's go back!"
"Your Majesty, Minister Li Chao asks to see!"
Li Chao shouted into the tent.
After a while, the tent was lifted, and the king's chamberlain came out of it.
He said to the guard officer, "General Zhao, Your Majesty has instructed Li Xiangguo to go in." ”
The soldiers retreated, and Li Chao followed the king's chamberlain into the account.
Wang Neishou looked at Li Chao a few times, and after three days of not seeing him, Li Chao was still very embarrassed, his eyes were still blue, and his nose was swollen.
"Li Xiang, Your Majesty is not in a good mood at this time, why should you be like this, this will only make Your Majesty more unhappy."
"Thank you for the reminder, but it is a matter of the prince's safety, so I have to make this decision."
When he arrived at the tent, Li Chao bowed to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin just snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, can you let the minister check the injury for the prince!"
Li Shimin still only snorted coldly in response.
Li Chao stepped forward and examined it carefully.
The imperial doctors gave the prince a splint on the bone, and the wound was treated, but the wound was really infected, swollen, and pus, and the prince's body was very hot, and the prince was in a coma and talking nonsense.
Li Chao's heart is very blocked, he has been with the prince for a long time, he really treats the prince as his own son, and there is affection between the two.
Li Shimin saw that Li Chao's eyes were red and there were tears, and he sighed in his heart, and his resentment towards Li Chao was a little gone.
"I handed over the prince to you, but you didn't take good care of the prince, I am very disappointed."
"The minister is derelict in his duty, the minister is guilty!"
"Your Majesty, the prince's current situation is very critical, and in the past few days, I believe that the imperial doctors in the palace and the doctors from all over the country have also told Your Majesty about the prince's situation. In the prince's current situation, his leg can't be cured. And not only is it not curable, but the leg also began to become infected, and the situation is getting worse and worse, and if it drags on, it will be more dangerous, and the minister asks His Majesty to immediately allow the imperial doctors to amputate His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Li Shimin had tears in his eyes, and he raised his head to prevent tears from flowing out. When no one was around, he shed tears, but now he doesn't want to cry in front of Li Chao.
The imperial doctors also advised him that it would be safer to amputate his leg, but Li Shimin could not make this decision.
"Your Majesty, at a critical time, a strong man can also break his wrist, and only by amputating his leg can he save the prince's life!"
"Is it safe to amputate?"
Li Shimin used to fight all year round, and he had seen too many wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs, and many wounded soldiers had their limbs amputated, but amputation was also very dangerous, and the mortality rate was extremely high.
"Your Majesty, in the current situation, the risk of amputation is not great, but the risk of not having it amputated is extremely high."
"I shouldn't have let the prince come, I should have let the prince stay in Xiangyang and accompany Guanyin." Li Shimin muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty, please make a quick decision!"
Li Shimin was silent, and after a while, he asked people to call in the imperial doctor and the doctors invited by the local government, and then asked them for their opinions.
"Is it true that you have to amputate your leg now?"
All the doctors nodded heavily.
"Then ・・・・・ intercept!"
Li Shimin gave the most difficult order.
"If the crown prince has amputated his limbs, there are three long and two short, I want all of you to be buried together!" Li Shimin said with a gloomy face, sitting in front of the prince's bed, the emperor at this time had already lost his mind.
Li Chao asked people to prepare a surgical tent, which was fully disinfected, and asked people to disinfect the saws used for surgery, and the doctors' clothes were newly prepared.
In the afternoon, the sun is shining.
The prince was sent to the operating tent, Li Chao put on a white robe, put on a mask, and sent the prince in with Li Shimin, and then stood aside to watch the operation.
After giving the prince a soup of anesthesia, an old imperial doctor walked over with a saw.
Li Shimin raised his hand to stop it, but finally put it down helplessly.
The old imperial physician began to prepare for the amputation.
Everyone in the tent stared at the old imperial doctor, and they all looked at the saw.
Li Chao turned his back, he couldn't look at it.
The old imperial doctor held the saw, and it was difficult to start, this is the leg of His Royal Highness the Prince, and if this saw is down, the prince's leg will be gone.
Li Chao walked out of the tent, stood with his hands in his hands, and sighed at the sky.
"Xiangguo!"
In the distance, Ke Qing's shout was heard.
Seeing that it was Ke Qing, Li Chao suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart. On the day of the accident, Li Chao sent Ke Qing out and asked him to inquire about Sun Simiao's news, and now he is finally back.
Li Chao turned around and ran into the tent.
As soon as the tent was lifted, Li Chao rushed in.
The old imperial doctor had already wiped the medicinal wine on the prince's leg and was about to do it.
"Wait a minute!" (To be continued.) )
