Yu Jinnian took the express train from the third floor into the government office, led by the little eunuch, strode into the courtyard where the eldest son of the emperor Yan Sining lived - only to see the door of the room was half open, and three or four little eunuchs who came with them looked panic-stricken. Kneeling outside the door, and there was a sound of arguing in the room.
Several young eunuchs fell on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads. I don't know which one of them asked in a low voice: "You say, if our Highness really suffers from a serious epidemic, can we survive..."
The other pouted on the ground, then quietly raised his head and glared at the little eunuch who was speaking: "Pah, peh, pee! What are you talking about? There are so many imperial doctors in there!"
"But I don't want to die..."
"Bold! Who gave you the courage to talk about the prince? Go down and get twenty sticks each!" A rather calm servant walked out of the room, came quickly, and sternly scolded a few unruly children, scaring them. Several people on the ground shouted "Director Qi" repeatedly, begging him to forgive him.
This eunuch's name is Qi En, who has served Yan Sining since he was a child. Although the first day of last year just passed Double Tenth, he is already considered an old man in the emperor's palace. Although he is also very anxious about Yan Sining's illness, But it also appears to be a little more stable than the other small ones, able to withstand some scenes.
The little eunuchs were sadly about to go down to receive their punishment, but Yu Jinnian had already walked over, waved his hands and said, "Boss Qi, that's all, it's important to see your highness first. What's more, your highness needs someone to take care of them, so you take care of them right now." If you are fined, where can you find someone who is handy, let them be spared."
Qi En hurriedly bowed to Yu Jinnian, and then frowned. The eunuch looked softer than ordinary people, and his young enough face also showed a bit of pretentious maturity because of this wrinkle. He knelt in front of the Several young eunuchs around him reprimanded: "For the sake of Dr. Yu Xiao, I will remember this punishment for now. I will not retreat!"
The little eunuchs walked away on their knees, and Yu Jinnian didn't bother anymore. He walked straight into the outer room, opened the door curtain, and was filled with the sound of disputes one after another. Gathering here, these people huddled together in a nest, arguing with one sentence, that sentence, like ducks crossing the river, very noisy.
Yu Jinnian listened for a while, and he was just discussing how to give Yan Sining medicine. Although everyone is an official medical officer from the same medical science, they actually have their own schools. Who is not convinced. Not to mention that the person who is sick at this time is the eldest son of the current emperor. If the wrong medicine is used, no one can afford the consequences. Therefore, after discussing for a long time, no one can come up with a solution that everyone can understand. convincing way.
Some people even said that maybe His Highness was not born with a plague, but just ordinary unaccustomed diarrhea.
After hearing this, Yu Jinnian interjected: "This lord has some truths. Your Highness has lived in Xiajing for a long time, and suddenly came to this place with heavy humidity. Maybe it's because the climate is not acclimatized."
Everyone stopped abruptly and turned their heads to look at him. There were some people in the imperial physician department who looked down on Yu Jinnian, who was born as a barefoot doctor. When they saw him, they immediately raised their eyebrows and scolded him, "What are you?" Let him back down immediately.
"Coincidentally, I really count." Along the way, Yu Jinnian has long been used to the official temperament of these people, and he is not annoyed at this time. On the ear, rolled up the cuffs, turned and entered the inner room.
Someone wanted to reprimand him for being unruly, but was stopped by Doctor Chen.
Yu Jinnian walked to the bed and carefully observed Yan Sining who was lying on the bed. The eldest prince's brows were tightly locked, his complexion was pale, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, his skin gradually lost its elasticity, and his body was slightly curled up due to excessive vomiting and diarrhea. Although everyone in this world calls him the First Prince and His Highness, in Yu Jinnian's eyes, he is just a fourteen-year-old boy, and to Yu Jinnian, Yan Sining can only be regarded as a child.
He sat down, waited for Yan Sining's pulse, and at the same time asked the eunuch who was serving him to bring over the spittoon and the chamber pot to have a look. After looking at it, Yu Jinnian's eyes darkened, and he went to touch Yan Sining's abdomen again. While checking his pulse, Yan Sining suddenly turned upside down again, and spit out a few mouthfuls of clear liquid.
A group of imperial doctors rushed in, led by Chen Yang, and asked anxiously: "How?!"
Although some of them admired Yu Jinnian and some despised Yu Jinnian, at this moment, everyone hoped that this "little genius doctor" who was well-known in Xia Jing would tell them in an absolutely certain tone, don't be nervous, the eldest prince will get it It was nothing more than normal diarrhea.
Yu Jinnian stood up, took off his mask, shook his head, and sighed, "Your Majesty's pulse is weak, it is indeed infected with the disease."
And judging by the softness of the pulse, Yan Sining's blood pressure should also be lower than normal, which is a sign of dehydration.
Chen Yang and the others staggered a few steps, beat their chests and stamped their feet, and sighed.
The little eunuchs who were serving Yan Sining were the most terrified, but they dared not speak out, their faces were ashen and ruined, and they were holding spittoons filled with filth, as if they were about to be buried for their little master.
The chief eunuch Qi En, who was quite prudent before, couldn't hide his panic, and threw himself in front of Yan Sining's bed: "Your Highness, how can you tell the sage to let the servant go back..."
"It's too early for mourning. Your lords came here just to get rid of miasma and epidemics. How can you sigh and sigh now? It's really against the style of everyone in the Imperial Physician." Yu Jinnian frowned slightly, and he Looking down, he saw a small porcelain gourd in the shape of a medicine bottle on the table in front of the bed, so he asked the prince if he had ever taken medicine.
Chen Yu said: "I took a dose of Huoxiang Zhengqi powder, but it didn't work, and I took Taiyi surplus grain for five qian."
This Taiyi Surplus Grain is a quick medicine for treating diarrhea. It is actually a mineral, sweet and astringent in taste, and has the effect of astringent intestines and antidiarrheal. Because of its magical effect and preciousness, it is often regarded as a gift from the gods. There is nothing wrong with eating Taiyi surplus food for diarrhea, but the epidemic is very severe here, and unusual methods may work.
What's more, although this epidemic has vomiting and diarrhea, it can't just stop the diarrhea blindly, otherwise the evil will be suppressed and the crisis will be even more dangerous.
Chen Yang also understands not to overuse the astringent medicine, but the current crisis is facing a once-in-a-century epidemic. Even Chen Yang, who has been practicing medicine for decades, has never personally experienced a severe epidemic, let alone Is there any empirical method that can save the First Prince. The several imperial doctors present were also in the same situation. If it was the refugees outside, he might be able to give it a try, but for Yan Sining, they definitely did not dare to judge.
Some savvy imperial physicians either kept silent, or blamed each other, blaming who was so careless and caused the prince to contract the disease... Everyone didn't want to be this early bird, after all, it was cured It's easy to say, if it can't be cured, it is a serious crime of beheading.
"What's the point of worrying about how the disease came about now!" Yu Jinnian most admired these people's ability to shirk responsibility. On the contrary, the life of the sick family has become the most worthless thing. He was annoyed for a moment, and asked the eunuchs who served him Said, "Has Your Highness ever used water today?"
The waiter replied: "I had steamed rice and some hot tea, but I vomited it up after a few mouthfuls."
Yu Jinnian continued to ask: "Then, have you ever paid attention to the situation of Your Highness Xiaoyu?"
The servant lowered his head and said: "Your Highness has severe diarrhea, we were only focused on changing and washing His Highness, we didn't pay attention..."
"If you haven't noticed it, then start to pay attention from now on. When and how much your Highness drowned, you should record it." Yu Jinnian instructed, "Your Highness's pulse is slightly sunken now, which is a symptom of dehydration caused by excessive vomiting and diarrhea. Hurry up and cook some porridge with white rice, take the rice milk water on top, mix half a spoonful of fine salt with a bowl of rice milk water, and feed your highness two cups every half an hour. It doesn’t matter if you vomit or have diarrhea, the important thing It is this salt rice milk that is a life-saving medicine for His Highness today, and it must be taken, otherwise His Highness will lose too much water, and he will turn his muscles and die."
The servant hurriedly knelt down to accept the order: "Yes, I remember it."
Yu Jinnian thought for a while, and said to Chen Yang: "Master Chen, as for other medicines, the most important thing is to expel turbidity and dampness, and strengthen vitality."
Chen Yang nodded, but he was still puzzled, so he asked Yu Jinnian: "Mr. Xiao mentioned salt and rice milk and other vulgar things. Could it be that taking these two things together can treat the syndrome of diarrhea and tendon turning? "
Yu Jinnian pondered for a moment, and said: "The five elements of yin and yang are everywhere in the world, so everything in this world can be used as medicine, so there is nothing unusual about it. Salt is salty. Sir, you know the truth that salty things enter the kidneys. Kidneys govern water. Opened in the two yin, and connected to the bladder, the diarrhea and riots are not unrelated to the abnormal opening and closing of the kidney, so the use of salt as medicine can naturally strengthen the kidney qi, is it right? As for the rice It’s not difficult to explain, it cultivates the temper and strengthens the stomach.”
Chen Yang heard what he said was true, but felt that it was too amazing. If a bowl of rice milk and a spoonful of fine salt could cure the plague, it would be inconceivable. But this salty rice milk really couldn't be called a prescription, it could even be regarded as a bowl of drink with a strange taste. After thinking about it, Chen Yang didn't have any excuses to stop Yu Jinnian, so he let him go.
Yu Jinnian turned his head and told Yan Sining's servant: "Your Highness's vomit should be mixed with white lime powder and disinfected before it can be taken out. Remember. Also, this government office is full of people coming and going, and it is a matter of official business." So, all the medical officers can't just ignore the thousands of people in the city for His Highness alone. Later, when His Highness is vomiting and diarrhea, you can carry His Highness to my building, so that we can take care of him together."
"This..." The servants were a little embarrassed.
Of course, Yu Jinnian's mention of this was not all for Yan Sining's sake, but also a little selfish. After all, if even the eldest son of the emperor lived in his hospital on the third floor, then the sick in the city could let go of their suspicions and live in it boldly.
The imperial doctors even objected: "What a noble body, Your Highness! How can you share the same room with those refugees! How decent is this?!"
Yan Sining was already sick and groggy, and he couldn't make decisions by himself. Even though Qi En was in charge, he was still an eunuch after all, and he didn't dare to make decisions. Yu Jinnian was thinking that this matter would not be done, and was about to leave, when suddenly a deep voice sounded from behind: "How inappropriate. This matter has been approved by the official. If there is any mistake, I will fully bear it."
Yu Jinnian turned around: "Ah Hong!"
Ji Hong nodded to him, and said: "My lords, the epidemic control is the most important thing now. The people in Chunan have no means of living, and they are far worse than those in Beijing. The red tape can be saved. Mr. Yu used to be a member of Ji's family. , Although he is still young, he has excellent medical skills, and Ji believes in him as much as he believes in Ji himself. Since you are both doctors, please get rid of your prejudices and fight the epidemic together."
Chen Yang was caught between two pancakes and was in a dilemma. When he saw Ji Hong standing up, he hurried down the donkey: "Since Mr. Ji said so, then we..."
…
The empty Sanyu Medical Center finally welcomed its first patient, Yan Sining, the eldest son of the current emperor.
With the signboard of the eldest son of the emperor, the consultation seats downstairs were filled with patients one after another. Yu Jinnian roughly divided the consultation tables into several consultation tables according to the subjects that the doctors are good at, so that women and children both inside and outside Having a diagnosis can not only give full play to the strengths of the doctors, but also keep the patients from being confused. Those who could solve it on the spot took the medicine and left, and the sick patients were admitted to the ward upstairs, and the entire medical building was operating in an orderly manner.
The Young Master Jiang who said earlier that he was going to send him out of the city, perhaps because of the influence of the atmosphere, insisted on staying to help. Yu Jinnian couldn't hold him back, and he couldn't tie him up and throw him out, but he was the young master of the Jiang family after all, so he didn't dare to let him really "go to the front line", so he just arranged for him to decoct medicine and do some chores in the back, which was considered as a way of doing things for him. Disaster relief did its part.
Not only did the Sanyu Building begin to admit patients, Ji Hong also took the lead in organizing the lectures that Yu Jinnian had mentioned before, and organized the medical officers to sort out more than a dozen precautions, which were posted in various eye-catching places in the city. At the same time, Duan Ming Lead a small team of yamen servants to talk to the neighbors, and those who can memorize these terms and take the initiative to preach to the neighbors can also get extra money from the government yamen.
Everything is developing smoothly according to Yu Jinnian's idea, maybe it is forced by life, or it may be because of a self-defeating mentality of "a dead horse is a living horse doctor". In short, the people here are far more obedient than he imagined , The boulder he held in his heart finally loosened a little bit.
It wasn't until it was dark that Ji Hong came over with some food that Yu Jinnian was surprised that he hadn't eaten all day. It's just that I've been too busy all day, and I've already been hungry. Even if my stomach is empty, I don't feel uncomfortable at all.
"It's better to use more or less." Ji Hong stared at him washing his hands and face, changed into clean clothes that had been cooked in boiling water, and then sat down with him in his arms.
Yu Jinnian was not idle even though he was sitting, and wanted to go through the few medical records he brought back just now, because some issues needed to be studied carefully, so he could discuss them with the medical officers tomorrow. So when Ji Hong picked up a piece of finely divided food and fed it into his mouth, he chewed it for a long time before he realized that what he swallowed was actually mutton. He looked up at Ji Hong in surprise and asked him where the sheep came from.
Ji Hong smiled and said, "Look at you, you're really obsessed with diagnosis and diagnosis, and you don't even remember this. This sheep was sent by a squire, thank you for saving his wife. I only kept half of it The leg of lamb, Duan Ming has already asked Duan Ming to share the rest with the government servants and medical officers."
Yu Jinnian couldn't remember who he saved or didn't save, let alone who the squire he was talking about was, there seemed to be such a person. He felt that he was back to the time when he was changing shifts day after day, he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, and the doctor's orders were flying like snowflakes, but now the times are different, and the people around him are also different, which gives Yu Jinnian a very wonderful perversion feeling.
He was about to kiss Jihong with his mouth that had only eaten lamb, but before he could kiss him, someone came looking for him from outside in a hurry.
It was Zion.
The loyal servant did not want to leave Yan Sining's bed for a moment, he wanted to live and die with his master, somehow he left his highness and ran here.
Qi En knocked on the courtyard door, and when he came in, it was difficult to take into account that Ji Hong and the two were eating, so he got straight to the point and said to Yu Jinnian: "Mr. Look, His Highness woke up in a daze for a while in the morning, and at that time he took a little sporadic solution, and then vomited again, after that until now, there has never been a single drop..."
Yu Jinnian got up immediately: "Take me there."
