Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Xu Huizu looked at Li Wei who turned around and left without looking back. He was extremely disappointed and had no choice but to leave in despair.

In the Duke of Wei's mansion, Xu Da was lying on his side on the bed, his back wrapped with white cloth.

His disease was called gangrene, which caused rot and pus on his back. It was very painful. All the imperial doctor could do was to drain the pus and apply some ointment on it.

However, this treatment method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. It has been more than half a year since Zhu Yuanzhang brought him back last year, and the carbuncle on his back has recurred repeatedly, and now it has reached a point where his life is in danger.

In Xu Da's bed, his wife and second son Xu Yingxu accompanied him with worried faces. Xu Miaoyun also followed back from Peiping.

While several people were looking sad, Xu Huizu walked in from outside.

A few people briefly greeted him. Seeing his dejected look, Xu Miaoyun stepped forward and asked doubtfully: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I heard from other places that the Duke of Han had miraculous powers. He was the one who tried to cure the empress and she was able to survive for half a year. I thought that my father's illness would not be cured for a long time, so I went to ask him to help me, but no one knew that he could help me. No matter how I begged him, he refused to agree, hey!" Xu Huizu sighed.

Xu Miaoyun was surprised: "He also has medical skills?"

"Yes, but he didn't admit it himself, and he even refused to treat his father."

Xu Miaoyun frowned slightly, thinking that this Li Wei is really a strange person, he knows everything.

He had been in Peiping for the past few years and didn't know much about things in the capital. He didn't know that Li Wei had treated the empress.

But since Xu Huizu said so, there should be no lie in this matter.

"What did he say?" Xu Miaoyun asked softly.

Xu Huizu took a breath and said helplessly: "He came to me to beg Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has already sent many imperial doctors to treat my father, but none of them had any effect. What's the use of me going again?"

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun felt a little confused. She pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, I have not been in Beijing for the past few years and I don't know much about the affairs in Beijing. Please tell me in detail what happened in Beijing in the past few years." For a moment, especially about the Duke of Han."

Xu Huizu was slightly startled, wondering why she did this suddenly.

However, when he thought of the King Yan in Peiping, he suddenly realized, and his face immediately became a little unhappy. The identity of the vassal king was already very sensitive, and it was inevitable that Zhu Di was so concerned about government affairs, which was suspicious.

He is an upright person and will not favor his brother-in-law in the interests of the country.

"Are you asking for that guy?" Xu Huizu asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun showed a helpless smile: "No! Don't think too much, I am doing it for my father, just tell me!"

Xu Huizu looked at her suspiciously. Although he was still doubtful, for the sake of his father, he hesitated and told her all the recent events in the court.

After Xu Miaoyun listened carefully, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand, brother, you shouldn't go to him!"

"Why?" Xu Huizu looked puzzled.

"The Duke of Han asked you to ask His Majesty, not to ask His Majesty to send an imperial doctor, but to persuade Him to order him to treat your father." Xu Miaoyun explained.

Xu Huizu frowned slightly: "Why bother? If he is willing to rescue, can't he just come directly?"

Xu Miaoyun opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain it. This kind of political intrigue in the court was taboo, and it was inappropriate to talk about it even at home.

In the end, she could only shake her head: "Anyway, just do this."

Xu Huizu frowned for a moment. Although he still didn't quite understand, since his sister said so, he also wanted to ask His Majesty in the hope of success.

"Okay, I will go into the palace to beg Your Majesty right now!"

Xu Huizu said that he was about to turn around and leave.

Xu Miaoyun quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, don't directly say that Duke Han asked you to go."

Xu Huizu paused: "What do you say?"

Xu Miaoyun pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, you can say that my father is critically ill, and he is still thinking of Your Majesty in his coma, and begs Your Majesty to come and see him for the last time."

"This..." Xu Huizu looked at his unconscious father, "But my father didn't think of Your Majesty."

"Oh, just do as I say!" Xu Miaoyun said directly without bothering to explain to him.

Xu Huizu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was handling government affairs, and the young eunuch hurriedly came to report.

Hearing that it was Xu Da's eldest son asking for an audience, Zhu Yuanzhang also temporarily stopped his work and asked the young eunuch to recruit him.

"See Your Majesty." Xu Huizu saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand casually, and then took the initiative to ask: "How is Tiande's illness? Is it getting better?"

He was still very concerned about Xu Da. When he heard that he was ill last year, he immediately sent Xu Huizu to personally take him back to the capital for treatment.

When Xu Huizu heard this, his face suddenly showed sadness: "Your Majesty, since the spring of the next year, my father's illness has become more and more serious, and now it is life-threatening!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed: "Why is this happening? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctors still gave my father the medicine to drain the pus on time, but they couldn't cure it effectively, and they had no good strategy."

"This bunch of trash!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but cursed angrily.

People close to him died of illness one by one, and none of these imperial doctors could save him, which really made him angry!
But it was useless to scold him for this kind of thing. He had put his knife on the necks of these imperial doctors, but they could not cure the queen's illness.

Thinking of the queen, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of that brat again. Among other things, that brat was also very good at treating diseases. Maybe... he could save Xu Da?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes couldn't help but change.

Li Wei can understand things, and of course he will understand that if Li Wei saves Xu Da, then no one in the court can cure him.

"Your Majesty, my father often talks about your majesty when he is in a coma. I dare you to ask your majesty to come and see my father one last time."

Xu Huizu begged sincerely.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed leisurely: "Hey, we were negligent. Tiande has been with me through life and death. Now he is seriously ill. I should have gone to visit you personally. After I have handled the government affairs, I will go to your house in person."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Xu Huizu respectfully expressed his thanks.

"Get up and go back and take care of your father. We will visit him in the next two days." Zhu Yuanzhang said softly.

"Yes, then Wei Chen will leave first."

Xu Huizu stood up, bowed again, and then turned around and exited the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his back, feeling a little confused in his heart.

In fact, these founding heroes accompanied him through life and death to build the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible to say that he has no feelings at all. If these people are willing to be honest and not bully the people, he is still willing to share his wealth with these old brothers. However, he had reprimanded many times and forgiven many times, but these reckless generals were still arrogant and domineering. If they were pushed too hard, he was afraid that these reckless men would become resentful and do rebellious things, so he had to be fully prepared. .

He also wanted to have a good reputation as a benevolent king, and he didn't want to be called a tyrant thousands of years later, but it was a pity that God did not follow his wishes.

Of course, some of the nobles are good and loyal enough to him, and Xu Da is the best among them.

Now that Xu Da is critically ill, it seems that the only one who can save him is that brat. But today is different from the past. This brat is no longer the little person who can be manipulated at will, and he can also see what is going on in this brat's heart. There must be something hidden from him, and I don't know what he wants to do.

He thought it was impossible to rebel, but if he didn't rebel and he was powerful and wealthy, what else could he want?

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy and uncertain.

The next day, Xu Huizu led the whole family to sweep the house to pay respect to Zhu Yuanzhang's new arrival.

Zhu Yuanzhang brought a few guards, dressed lightly and simply. After everyone briefly saluted, they hurried to Xu Da's bedside.

At this time, Xu Da was suffering from a high fever, and traces of blood oozed from the white cloth wrapped on his back. If you remove these bandaging strips at this time, you will find that his back is a bloody mess, which is too horrible to look at.

Although Xu Da was semi-conscious at this time, he would shiver from time to time and huddle up, no longer as majestic as before.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but blush when he saw him like this.

Thinking about how mighty this general who fought in the south and north was, but now he looks like this.

Xu Miaoyun, Xu Yingxu and others were all staying with him on the bed, sobbing gently.

"How long has Tiande been like this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked softly.

"Your Majesty, it's been more than half a month. At first, I often woke up from pain and moaned a few times. Now I haven't woken up for several days."

Xu Huizu said in a hoarse voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded gently and comforted: "Don't worry, we will definitely find someone to cure Tiande."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyun quickly paid their respects and thanked him.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to let them stand up, looked at Xu Da again, sighed secretly in his heart, stayed for a while, comforted them a few words, and then led the people to leave.

After he left, Xu Miaoyun wiped the tears from her face and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that since His Majesty made this promise, he would definitely let Li Wei come to treat her father.

Xu Miaoyun's guess was right. After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, he immediately sent a message to summon Li Wei.

In the Wuying Hall, Li Wei bowed his hands and saluted, and Zhu Yuanzhang said without raising his head: "Xu Da is seriously ill. You should go and check on him in the next two days."

Li Wei was relieved, but his face still showed surprise: "Your Majesty, I don't know medical skills!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at him, and said coldly: "Go if you are told to go, stop talking nonsense!"

"Uh, I obey your order!" Li Wei swallowed back his words of refusal.

But he was a little unsure about what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. You know, on TV he gave Xu Da a roast goose to eat to death. What if Zhu Yuanzhang meant for him to put Xu Da to death this time?
To be honest, judging from the current situation, it would be best for Zhu Yuanzhang to kill Xu Da.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Wei asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is this a real rescue or a fake rescue?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him coldly: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?"

Li Wei's mouth twitched: "Where am I stupid?"

"Huh, no matter you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid, please be honest with us from now on. No matter what little thoughts you have, put them away. As long as we are here, you can't make trouble!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly. , He is not old yet. Even if Li Wei saves Xu Da and gains further power, he will still have the confidence to hold this kid down!

Li Wei smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty is joking, what can I have on my mind? I will only be loyal to Your Majesty wholeheartedly."

"It's best! Xu Da is our good brother. If you can't be cured, I'll beat your ass! Get out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not understand the jokes of later generations, but he was also afraid that Li Weizhen would misunderstand and have Xu Da executed. Finally, he solemnly emphasized and told him to get out.

Li Wei bowed his hands and then withdrew.

After walking out of the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Frankly speaking, he wanted to save Xu Da if he could. After all, the general had a very good reputation, and Xu Huizu had a good impression on him.

Now that he has Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he doesn't care so much. Even if he saves Xu Da, he is acting under orders. The greatest favor lies with Zhu Yuanzhang.

After leaving the palace, Li Wei went directly to the Arms Bureau.

He had also heard about Xu Da's disease. In Western medicine, back gangrene is called acute cellulitis, which is also caused by bacterial infection. To treat this disease, penicillin is still needed.

In other words, most diseases in the human body are caused by bacterial and viral infections, so anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used.

The Ordnance Bureau already had a workshop specializing in the production of penicillin. During this time, he led these students to upgrade many of the Ordnance Bureau's equipment, and the penicillin production process was also upgraded.

In the past, because this thing was too crudely made, he did not dare to promote it on a large scale. Otherwise, it would be a sin if more people were put to death than saved.

But it's much better now. After process upgrades, the reliability of penicillin has improved a lot, and now that there is rubber, he can also make old-fashioned infusion tubes, no longer having to make do with those animal blood vessels.

After taking two sets of rotating equipment and some penicillin, and putting them in the medical box, Li Wei took a few people to the Wei Guogong Mansion.

In the Wei Guogong Mansion, Xu Huizu waited anxiously after Zhu Yuanzhang left, hoping that his majesty would order Li Wei to come to treat Xu Da as Xu Miaoyun said.

As soon as Li Wei arrived outside the mansion, the servants he arranged came in immediately to report, and Xu Huizu hurriedly went out to greet him in person.

"I have met Duke Han." Xu Huizu bowed his hands.

Li Wei also smiled relaxedly and said: "Eldest Young Master, on your Majesty's order, I am here to treat Wei Guogong. I also ask Eldest Young Master to lead the way."

Hearing this, Xu Huizu breathed a long sigh of relief and said sincerely: "Thank you so much, Duke Han! I can't thank you enough!"

Hearing this, Li Wei suddenly stopped smiling and waved his hand: "Hey, there's no need to thank me. This is all His Majesty's will. I'm just following orders!"

Xu Huizu was stunned. Although he was not good at strategizing, he vaguely understood the secrets after all this trouble. He immediately said: "Yes, I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness."

With that said, he quickly raised his hand to lead the way: "Mr. Han, please come in quickly."

Li Wei nodded and walked in with him.

Arriving at Xu Da's room, Li Wei ordered his entourage to open the medicine box, skillfully prepared the medicine, and hung the medicine bottle in front of Xu Da's bed. He first performed a skin test on him, and then began to give him infusions.

But this time it took him three times to tie it up. It had nothing to do with his skills, but mainly because Xu Da was unlucky.

Well, that's how it is. After all, he was cured immediately when he gave the queen the infusion. (End of chapter)
