Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Suo'etu was ready to move.

For the first time, he was so close to his fantasy.

Just one step away.

So, knowing that there was nothing to be done, I still called the imperial physician who was with the army.

He couldn't wait to know if the emperor was really dying.

If a doctor is just a doctor, then he doesn't have to care about who the patient is, and he can do his best to treat it; but the imperial doctor is a bureaucrat first, and then a doctor, and his medical skills will inevitably be affected by political interests, so Ye Gui despises the imperial hospital.Kangxi's imperial physician knew that seeing Suo'etu in private was a capital offense, but he didn't dare not come.As for the safety of the emperor's dragon body, no one dared to say for sure.If the crown prince ascends the throne, Suo'etu, who is under one person and over ten thousand, will crush his family to death, like a mustard.

"That is to say, you don't know what symptoms the emperor has?"

"Yes. The emperor suddenly fell ill, with strange symptoms, and his pulse fluctuated from good to bad. Yujia also left Beijing for more than half a month. During this period, his diet was rough. The emperor may have stomach discomfort, or fatigue and worry. The root cause of the disease is not cured, and it is difficult to recover. During this time It’s not as good as Beijing’s traditional Chinese medicines. In addition, it’s cold and hot day and night, strong winds come from time to time, and the place is humid. It’s the most difficult to recuperate. Compared with medicine and acupuncture, it’s more important to change your residence. You can’t live in tents anymore.”

Suo'etu was very dissatisfied with this vague answer, and he needed a precise sentence before he could put all his eggs in one basket.

"If you don't change your residence, what about the emperor?"

Although the imperial physician got a seat on an equal footing with Suo'etu, he didn't dare to sit upright, almost squatting; when he heard this question, he chose to kneel directly in front of him.

"My lord, please spare the little one! I shouldn't have said those words just now. You don't need to do anything if you reveal half a word. Tomorrow the little one will be punished by the Nine Clans and executed Ling Chi!"

Suo'etu had no choice but to change his method to prevent the imperial physician from being frightened and doing bad things instead.With a little patience, he helped the imperial physician up, and his tone softened a lot.

"Well, don't ask if you don't ask. I have no other intentions, and I am also worried about the body of the dragon. I vaguely remember that His Royal Highness once told me that the sixth elder brother was suffering from dysentery, but he was almost misdiagnosed as malaria. Quinine was used. If it hadn’t been discovered early, it would have been almost poisoned to death by quinine. Is there such a thing?”

"Yes, yes. Medicines are used to cure diseases, not to nourish people. Therefore, if people don't eat them, they are said to be three-point poisonous. If the medicine is not suitable for the symptoms, it will be harmful and not beneficial. Quinine has fierce properties. Life. Although the emperor asked the imperial hospital to take it, we never use this western medicine. But for malaria, this medicine seems to have a miraculous effect. The emperor has rewarded several sick adults."

"Well. According to you, the emperor is suffering from malaria right now?"

"This……"

Almost all those who can work in the palace are human beings, and the imperial physician immediately understood what Suo'etu was implying.

"No, my lord, even if it is really malaria, the hospital will not prescribe this medicine. There are other ways."

"Hey, who made you call the shots? As long as you say the word 'malaria', I will arrange the rest."

"The emperor is hot and upset, if it's malaria..."

At this critical moment, Suo'etu suddenly noticed someone walking around the tent, and he broke out in a cold sweat. In addition, it was hot at noon and his clothes were completely wet. listen.

It turned out that the person who came was Nalan Mingzhu, his lifelong enemy who had just been reinstated.

This is bad.

Suo'etu forced himself to be calm, and spoke first to seize the opportunity.

"It turned out to be you. Sneaking around is not the work of a gentleman respected by Master Mingzhu."

"Where did this come from? You don't allow the guards to take a step closer. I want them to communicate, but none of them dare to come. The emperor asked all the ministers to go over to discuss matters. You can't ask the holy majesty to wait for you instead. I have no choice but to come here by myself." Shouted. Tell me, am I reckless, or are you disrespectful?"

Suo'etu was sweating profusely, and tremblingly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve.Mingzhu didn't give him any room to relax, so she pushed Suo'etu away, rushed into the tent, and grabbed the imperial doctor on the spot.

"The emperor is seriously ill, and he can't leave people for a moment. It's better for you to run here to hide and relax."

Mingzhu dragged the imperial physician out, and handed over to the accompanying imperial guards with swords.

"You guys are all witnesses. When I understand it and report it to the Holy Majesty, I will question the crime according to the law."

When Mingzhu and Suo'etu arrived at Kangxi's tent, the other internal ministers, Tong Guowei, Amida and others had already arrived, waiting for them.

Kangxi suffered from seizures repeatedly at night, and barely fell asleep for a while until dawn, and got up again to deal with military affairs after not even an hour.Seeing that Suo'etu was so slack, as usual, he had already warned him, and even cut his salary, as a warning to others.But now, he has no energy, he only thinks about dealing with the frontline affairs as soon as possible, and then lie down, even if he only closes his eyes for a while.

"It's all here, let's get started."

Since the emperor forced himself to sit halfway on the couch, the courtiers could not stand higher than the emperor, so they all knelt on the mat and reported the matter.

At the same time, Amida was in charge of the post of Deputy Commander of Zhengbai Banner, and was most familiar with military affairs, so he quickly recited the reports he had prepared.

"Because of the great kindness of the emperor, Alani, the Minister of the Lifan Academy, was demoted to four ranks. He took the crime and made meritorious service and was sent to serve under Prince Yu's tent. According to his report, Galdan got more than [-] vehicles of our army's supplies and supplies at the Wuerhui River. , and continued to head south towards Karaqin. Prince Yu, Prince Gong, and King Darhan all sent out multiple groups of sentry horses to search south, but there was no trace of Galdan back and forth. Prince Yu asked the emperor to decide whether to temporarily Stand still and wait for the enemy to be found, and then work together to encircle and suppress them."

Kangxi smiled bitterly.Hearing the word Wuerhuihe, his heart throbbed uncontrollably again.

two months.

They ransacked all the granaries around the capital, and even used the warehouses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but they only got two months' worth of military rations.

As long as Galdan persisted until September, the Qing Dynasty would be defeated without a fight.Alani, a mediocre man, didn't win if he didn't win. He even gave Galdan five hundred carts of precious rations and weapons.Now, Galdan was not in a hurry, and started playing hide-and-seek.The vast grassland is the season when water and grass are abundant and wild beasts are multiplying, so he can hide anywhere.However, the number of the Qing army was two or three times larger than that of the Zhun army, and the consumption of food and grass was astonishing.Seeing that there are less than ten days left in July, if there is no decisive battle, the morale will be exhausted.

"I calculated that Galdan must have gone the other way and headed to the north. If he is defeated, he can flee back to Mobei on horseback. Therefore, Prince Yu couldn't find him. Dear friends, what do you think? ?”

The floor was full of important ministers, and there was no sound.

No one would speak first.

Lonely, that's all.

How much Kangxi longed for his brothers, sons, especially the prince to be here at this moment.

The ministers only know how to protect themselves wisely, after all, they are outsiders.At a critical moment, no one can be counted on.

Even my own uncle didn't dare to take up the responsibility of discussing the affairs of the minister of the interior and say "secondary".

It's ridiculous.

"Sitting silently one by one, what's the difference from clay puppets. When talking about everything, you should have your own opinions so that you can discuss things clearly. If you don't say a word, what's the difference between you?"

His sharp eyes searched back and forth on the scarlet cape and peacock feathers, and finally landed on a person at the far end.

"Since Suo'etu came late, I think he must have a good opinion. Tell me."

Suo'etu, who was named by Kangxi to express his opinion, silently cast a glance at Mingzhu who was kneeling beside him.He knew that whether the Hesheli family could escape the ransacking or extermination of the family depended on whether the few words he said next could impress the emperor.

"My minister is dead, I don't know how the military affairs are, and I dare not speak nonsense. The minister will come late, so I called the imperial physician in front of the emperor to ask the emperor how the dragon is. I heard that this place is really not suitable for recuperation, and I am worried. Please also take care of the country. Sheji and the people of the Li people, return to Luan as soon as possible, and recuperate in Beijing. Prince Yu and others have experienced many battles, and they will definitely be able to wipe out the rebellious officials and thieves in Junggar according to the Holy Majesty's instructions!"

The ministers who had just been accused by Kangxi of eating a vegetarian meal felt that the proposal was perfect, and Suo Etu was really witty. He saved the big guy from the fire and water, and they all claimed yes, adding a few high-sounding and eulogizing nonsense, and said it again .

Why doesn't Kangxi want to go back to the capital to recuperate?He just didn't dare to go back.As the supreme commander of the army, he fled the battle, what should the soldiers on the front line think?Galdan was armed with a musket, and went through life and death with the soldiers.

"I won't go back."

"emperor……"

The inexplicable hotness broke out again, Kangxi didn't want these cold ministers to see his weak appearance, so he quickly gave an order.

"It's really hot and humid here. Staying for a long time is not an option. I'm going to the Qingcheng Palace to recuperate. You are still here. If there is anything wrong, report it quickly."

After finishing speaking, he forcibly expelled everyone, and was alone, suffering from illness.

The phrase "medicine to cure disease" comes from the "Supplement to the General Method of Medicine and Treatment" by Liu Chun, an imperial physician in the Ming Dynasty. The saying is the original source of the three-point poison of medicine.But this book is controversial, and the experimental methods used in the writing process are a bit cruel and not recommended.
