A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 794
  The Queen has always had gas problems.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen," Huaiyu looked at the Queen's appearance on the sick bed and was also surprised. He knew that Queen Changsun had always suffered from qi disease and her health had never been very good. She had a delicate body like a sick Xi Shi. During a spring outing in Qujiang, he heard the queen perform a spring outing song, with a line called "Learn from the young willows on the eaves and make yourself light."

At that time, the queen's body was as delicate as a sickly beauty, but now she is described as gaunt and thin.

Empress Changsun was only in her early thirties, but she had already given birth to several children. Although she was seriously ill, she still had the noble temperament of a mother who cared about the world. "I'm sorry that I can't greet Wu.
  In fact, I am not seriously ill. This qi disease is also an old disease. I will be fine if I rest and recuperate. It is also hard for the Prime Minister to come back to Beijing all the way from Lingnan..."

"This is what I should do. It's my fault that I came late."

Huaiyu said, without any more nonsense, he began to consult the queen.

Wu Huaiyu was very careful after hearing, hearing, and asking questions. He also summoned the imperial doctor to serve the emperor and asked about the medicine the queen had been using recently. The emperor and the prince stayed in front of the sickbed. Although they were concerned in their hearts, they did not dare to disturb her in the slightest.

for a long time,

"The Queen is indeed suffering from a gas attack,"

Empress Changsun smiled. Her face was pale, but her smile was strong. She seemed not to be defeated by the disease. Instead, she comforted the emperor and the prince, telling them not to worry.

Li Shimin said nothing in front of the queen.

"Queen, have a good rest, I will prescribe the medicine."

drop out.

Arriving in another hall, Cheng Qian couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what's going on with the Queen Mother?"

Li Shimin also looked at Huaiyu.

"The situation is more complicated."

In front of the patient, Huaiyu no longer concealed it.
  "Her Royal Highness the Queen's condition is mainly due to qi disease."

Qi diseases in traditional Chinese medicine have no corresponding names in modern medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is not an independent disease, but a systemic disease, which mainly includes diseases of the respiratory system, circulatory system, and lymphatic system. Diseases are mainly caused by disorders of these systems, mainly diseases of the heart, liver, and gallbladder.

Qi diseases are hereditary. Not only does the family of Queen Changsun have hereditary qi diseases, but the Royal Li family also has hereditary qi diseases, and even wind diseases.

"Speak clearly and slowly," Li Shimin said calmly.

As the saying goes, the queen has always suffered from qi disease. Over the years, she has seen various famous doctors and used various prescriptions. Li Shimin also understands the queen's condition relatively well. The problem now is that the queen's condition is particularly serious this time. Both the Shang Yao Bureau and the Imperial Medical Office of Taichang Temple were helpless this time.

The emperor could only place his hope on Wu Huaiyu, the apprentice of the land god Xiaoyaozi.

Wu Huaiyu had also seen the queen for qi disease more than once. He had also prescribed and used medicine before, and the effect was even good, but this time the outbreak was very serious.

Qi in traditional Chinese medicine is linked to the five internal organs, including lung qi, heart qi, liver qi, spleen qi, and kidney qi. Diseases caused by the five qi are classified as qi diseases.

Asthma, cough, etc. belong to the category of lung qi.

The queen had a congenital qi disease and was already weak. Her father died when she was eight years old. Her mother was Xu Xian. Their mother, daughter and brother Wuji were kicked out of the house by their half-brother, and they had no choice but to seek refuge with their uncle Gao Shilian.

Fortunately, she entered into a marriage contract with the second son of the Duke of Tang when she was young. When she was thirteen, she married Li Shimin, who was three years older.

Later, her uncle Gao Shilian was exiled to Jiaozhi, her aunt was seriously ill, and her mother-in-law Dou fell ill unexpectedly. Her eldest grandson had to be taken care of by both parties, which was very difficult for the young bride.

Weak since childhood, he was kicked out of the house when he was young and had to live with others. He got married at the age of thirteen and frequently took care of the family. After Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan, the eldest grandson took on the responsibility of taking charge of the family affairs.
  During the Wude years, he had to deal with Li Yuan's beloved concubines to gain space for her husband.

Years of hard work had made the queen's health not very good, and her breathing problems were getting worse and worse.

After his marriage, he also gave birth to several children, and the loss of Qi and blood was relatively serious, especially when he gave birth to his second daughter, Princess Chengyang. It was difficult to give birth at the time, and he suffered from massive postpartum hemorrhage and lost half of his life.

What happened between the emperor and the prince some time ago made the already weak queen even worse. It gave the queen a double blow and aggravated the qi disease, which was difficult to cure for a while.

Various circumstances have led to the Queen's current serious illness. But in the final analysis, it was still Qi disease. Of course, the psychological blow was also great. After all, Cheng Qian was the empress's eldest son and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. So many things had happened recently. The emperor was very disappointed, and the empress was more worried.

Moreover, Li Shimin deliberately favored Wei Wang Li Tai to put pressure on the prince. This made the queen feel more burdened. After all, Cheng Qian and Li Tai were both her biological sons, and their palms and backs were full of flesh. Now the two brothers had a rift, and even It's a bit like Li Shimin and Jiancheng Yuanji's fratricide, but the queen is not in a hurry or in pain.

Empress Changsun in history passed away in the tenth year of Zhenguan.
  And now it is the sixth year of Zhenguan.

Huaiyu explained all this carefully, inside and out.
  “Body illnesses are easy to cure, but mental illnesses are difficult to treat.”

"Your Majesty, although the Queen's condition is mainly due to qi disease, the physical depletion over the years has also made the qi disease more susceptible to attacks. Recently, the queen has suffered from a heart disease, which has made it even worse."

"Heart disease still needs heart medicine."

Taking this opportunity, Wu Huaiyu took the initiative to speak out some sensitive topics in front of the two men without hiding it.

Father and son, brother, husband and wife, mother and son...

Li Shimin thought more about the country, the country, the world, and the court, but the queen paid more attention to her family and affection.

The current situation makes the queen very sad. Her heart is heavy, her energy is even worse, and her body is already exhausted, and she can no longer hold on. It is a vicious cycle.

After Li Shimin listened, he was silent. The emperor's eyes were red, his lips were chapped, and he was sitting there in a daze. Of course he listened to Wu Huaiyu's words and understood them clearly.

He and his eldest grandson Queen were engaged when they were young. When he was sixteen, he married the thirteen-year-old Queen. Six years later, their first child, Cheng Qian, was born.

The couple has been married for nearly twenty years.
  They were considered an old couple, but both of them were still in their early thirties, so they were still considered young. In the early years, the couple actually spent less time together and more separation. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Shimin also led the army away for a long time.

"This is an unfilial son." Cheng Qian knelt down to his father with red eyes, thinking about his mother's illness getting worse because of him, the young man cried.

In the past, for the sake of Qin Ying and the others, she had a grudge against her father, and even ignored her mother's many attempts to persuade her when she was ill. Now she regrets it.

"Teacher, help me save my mother. I will get whatever medicinal materials you need."

Huaiyu sighed, "In fact, the most critical thing about the queen's situation is the medicine stone."

"As the saying goes, physical illness is easy to treat, but mental illness is difficult to cure. You must first treat the mental illness and then the physical illness. First, let the Queen resolve the depression in your heart..."

Li Shimin also sighed, then stretched out his hand to help Cheng Qian, "Dalang, your mother is most worried about you. Only when you are sensible, your mother will feel relaxed."

"Father, it is my son who is unfilial, my son who is ignorant, and my son who is wrong," Cheng Qian cried.

"It's not too late for Your Highness to understand this now," Huaiyu said with some relief.

Li Shimin nodded with red eyes. He was very pleased with Cheng Qian's change. He stretched out his hand to stroke his beard. The emperor, who always carefully groomed his beard, was not in the mood to take care of his beard during this period. It had become shapeless.

Huaiyu stood nearby, watching the scene of father and son being reconciled, and said with a smile, "I will give you the first prescription. Your Majesty will give you the three princes and two princesses born to your mother-in-law, as well as the princess who was raised by you personally. Invite everyone to come and have a meal with the queen,"

A family of eight can have a meal together so that the queen can experience the warmth of the family. The most important thing is for the queen to see the reconciliation between the emperor and the prince, and also between the prince and the King of Wei.

Li Shimin nodded, "Lao Qingyang will cook this meal yourself. Make a few simple side dishes to accompany us."

Of course Wu Huaiyu could not refuse the emperor's request. He readily agreed and then went to prepare. The emperor also sent people to bring Wei Wang Li Tai, Jin Wang Li Zhi, Changle Princess Li Lizhi, Chengyang Princess, and adopted daughter Princess Yuzhang. Call together.

Huaiyu prepared a table of dishes and sent them to the Lizheng Hall.

Li Shimin smiled and brought his three sons and three daughters to the queen, "I specially asked Qingyang to cook for this table. Chengqian, Qingque, and Changle all helped out. The children all remember what you like to eat." As for the food, today’s table is full of your favorite food.”

The queen looked at the six children, especially when she saw Cheng Qian and Li Tai holding hands and acting like brothers and sisters. Her face couldn't help but reveal surprise. The queen was extremely pleased, and two lines of hot tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
