Xiao Yuanzheng visited Wei Zhi alone at night, and called Imperial Physician Liu the next day.
Imperial Physician Liu came to the same conclusion as Xiao Yuanzheng, they only came up with symptoms of excessive fatigue, mental fatigue and qi deficiency.
So Yuan Xiao was contemplating, so he went to see the emperor, wanting to invite his master, old imperial physician Tan, who has retired, to have a look.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and said: "Lord Wei is not willing to rest either, and he will go to the government office tomorrow."
Xiao Yuanzheng bowed his head and said: "It is precisely because of this that we have to diagnose the disease before we can prescribe the medicine. If it is just overtired, just reduce some official duties and rest for a few days."
But if it is true what Zhou Man said, then it is not enough to just take medicine for a few days.
The emperor pondered and asked: "Has Zhou Man's medical skills surpassed yours?"
Xiao Yuanzheng lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhou is a very talented person, just don't look at the diseases she treats, but only look at the medical books she compiled. There are many medical books, and it is difficult to integrate them."
Although Xiao Yuanzheng didn't study much, he also knew how difficult it was to compile a book, but Zhou Man's ability to lift the weight easily showed her talent and ability.
Only then did the emperor slightly nod his head, and said: "I'm not feeling well, so please invite old doctor Tan to come to the palace for a walk."
Old Tan imperial physician has been serving as an official for many years, and the palace seldom invites him, so this invitation shocked many people.
Not to mention the people in the capital, but the people in the palace. Except for the queen and Han Shangshu in front, everyone in the harem thought that the emperor was sick, so the relaxed atmosphere suddenly subsided, and the whole palace was five times quieter than usual. point.
The prince in the capital was also taken aback, got up immediately, took the whip and was about to go to the palace, but was stopped by Guo Zhan, "Your Highness, the handwriting of His Majesty is still on the papers sent back. Obviously, His Majesty can still approve the papers. If you are seriously ill , Your Majesty will definitely not be able to give another reply."
"You are the supervisor of the country, and you cannot leave the capital without the holy order."
The crown prince frowned, "Father is sick, why do you still care about it? If you don't ask, later father will say that you are not filial."
"Your Highness, why not send a letter to say hello."
But the crown prince was still anxious, he wanted to go to the palace to have a look at the situation, he was always a little uneasy if he didn't see his father in person.
Guo Zhanshi stopped him and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there are Empress Empress and Princess Mingda in the palace, everything will be fine."
The prince pursed his lips, held his whip and said nothing.
The emperor's health is too important to the prince.
The two of them were at a stalemate, and Mr. Zhuang walked by unsteadily, as if he had just come in from the outside to go to the Chongwen Museum.
Guo Zhanshi squinted his eyes, stopped Mr. Zhuang and asked, "Master Zhuang, I wonder if you have received a letter from Mr. Zhou's family in the past few days?"
Mr. Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then saw the prince standing beside him, he understood after a little thought, he saluted and said: "I haven't received a letter from home."
Guo Zhanshi frowned and asked, "How long does Master Zhou usually come to write home?"
Mr. Zhuang said: "I just went to Yongzhou, it is not far away, and there is nothing at home. If she has nothing to add and nothing to entrust to the family, naturally she will not come to write a letter."
Guo Zhanshi and the prince's heart moved, and they became thoughtful.
Mr. Zhuang bowed and left.
Guo Zhanshi watched him walk away, and couldn't help looking at the prince, "Your Highness, at this time, apart from Yin Li, I am afraid that no one can know the news from the palace better than Zhou Man. You should not act rashly at this time. Are you in the capital?" Jian Guo, and there are old princes in the palace, Prince Gong is not here, so you don't have to worry."
The prince turned around and left, "Gu knows."
The prince went directly to Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang was making tea in the tea room, when he saw the prince coming in, he quickly got up and saluted.
The prince sat down on the chair and said bluntly: "Sir, you should know why Gu came here, right?"
Mr. Zhuang sighed and said, "Your Highness is too impatient."
The prince was a little annoyed and said: "Guo Zhan misunderstood Gu's meaning, sir, don't you know? Gu..."
"I know," Mr. Zhuang suddenly interrupted the prince, "I know that your majesty is the father and you are the son. This is a son's concern for his father. If your highness is indifferent, it will be treason."
Only then did the prince calm down a little.
"But Your Highness, you are not only a son, but also a prince," Mr. Zhuang said, "I think your Majesty would like you to be more like a prince at this time, so you can't act impulsively."
The prince frowned.
Mr. Zhuang comforted him with a smile: "Your Majesty should be fine, otherwise Master Wei and Li Shangshu, who are accompanying the palace, will not send back without saying a word."
Both Wei Zhi and Li Shangshu are staunch defenders of the system of heirs. When the crown prince became so absurd, Li Shangshu stood firmly on his side. Although Wei Zhi did not participate in the battle between the crown prince and King Gong, he always I am very opposed to the emperor pampering Prince Gong too much, and I want to straighten the emperor's attitude whenever I have the opportunity.
If something really happened to the emperor, these two would definitely send a letter back to Beijing.
If the news is false, Mr. Zhuang prefers that this is a test for the prince.
So he said: "Your Highness, to be the prince of a country, just do what a son should do."
What is the most important thing for a prince and a son to do at this time
One is to ensure the stability of the capital and the court of the capital; the other is to quickly send your confidants to the palace to greet the emperor, are you really sick? Do you want your son to take care of the sick? My son is worried...
So under the guidance of Mr. Zhuang, the prince wrote a letter of greeting full of affection and concern to the emperor.
The prince's letter arrived at the palace one step later than the old doctor Tan.
When his letter was delivered to the Hall of Longevity, the emperor was sitting in Wei Zhi's courtyard watching old doctor Tan consult Wei Zhi.
Xiao Yuanzheng led Zhou Man and Imperial Physician Liu to stand aside and watch.
Old doctor Tan is very old, he hasn't seen him for two or three years, his beard is completely white, it is very uniform and beautiful, but the luster is very good, and his face is rosy, which made Man Bao look at him several times.
Old doctor Tan put one hand on Wei Zhi's veins and stroked his beard with the other. His eyes were slightly closed, but he was sensitive to five senses. When he opened them, he turned to look at Zhou Man.
Man Bao's gaze was caught, and he smiled embarrassedly at him.
Old Imperial Physician Tan smiled slightly, turned his eyes to look at Master Wei's face, then looked at the emperor's face, looked back and forth between the two for a while, and said to Master Wei: "Master Wei, please open your mouth, I'll take a look at the coating on your tongue."
Wei Zhi also cooperated, sticking out his tongue to show him.
The old doctor Tan asked some questions, roughly the same as what Zhou Man asked at the beginning, when did he sleep at night, how many times did he wake up, whether it was difficult to fall asleep, what is his daily diet, and what is uncomfortable on his body...
In the past two days, Wei Zhi has been answering these questions a lot, because he has been asked a lot, he has been paying more attention in the past two days, so his answers are more accurate and detailed.
The old doctor Tan wrote down one by one, and he knew it well.
He withdrew his hand, saluted the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei is indeed very ill, and he is one step away from dying."
emperor:…
Master Wei: …
These words sounded more terrifying than what Zhou Man said.
