Chapter 317 Tang He’s condition

From Fengyang to Beijing, if we use modern transportation, it will only take two or three hours to travel more than 100 kilometers by road.

But in ancient times, it took more than ten days to get there.

On February 15th, a motorcade attracted the attention of many people.

This motorcade came from Fengyang and was decorated in a luxurious manner. One of the vehicles was even driven by four horses.

As the saying goes, the emperor drives six, the princes drive five, the ministers four, the officials three, the scholars two, and the common people one.

The emperor's chariot has only six horses, and the princes have five horses.

It's just that in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of sons who were crowned kings, and many princes had already become vassals, so these princes were considered to be at the vassal level.

Even the Duke was automatically demoted to the rank of Minister, driving four horses.

After all, there are also the sayings of Three Dukes and Six Ministers or Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. Even if you are a Duke, you don't dare to call yourself a prince.

Are you really not afraid that Lao Zhu will chop you down?

"Dad, we have entered the capital," a young and beautiful girl in the carriage said to an old man softly and carefully.

The old man's hair and beard were all white and he was speechless. It was none other than Tang He.

Originally, Tang He had been allowed by Zhu Yuanzhang to return to his hometown to recuperate, but because Zhu Chu had helped Xu Da treat back gangrene, especially in the past few days, he had finally passed the initial stage of the operation and had begun to enter the recovery process.

Xu Da's injury will no longer bleed easily and produce fluid accumulation. He no longer has to suffer. As long as he doesn't run or jump, he can even walk around in the yard without any problems. In a few days, he can go to court and chat with Lao Zhu. .

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Chu was really capable, so he thought of Tang He and quickly sent someone to let him come to Beijing, hoping that Zhu Chu could create another miracle.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang often sent imperial doctors to treat Tang He in recent years, and he often searched for famous doctors or folk remedies among the people.

But Tang He's illness never improved.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly believed in Zhu Chu was that he was actually a dead horse and a living doctor. The main reason was that he vaguely knew that Zhu Chu seemed to have mastered a medical method that no one had ever thought of or heard of, and those Lian Yu Doctors only come up with new medicines that are unknown to them.

Tang He, who was already paralyzed, was helped by his daughter to sit up. Then his daughter reached out to open the window and leaned against the car wall to look outside.

Looking at the unfamiliar scenery of the capital, Tang He's eyes were complicated and he didn't know what to think.

Once upon a time, he was also very famous. Together with Xu Da, he became famous on the battlefield and gained a huge name.

It's a pity that I just couldn't control my mouth. I made a drunken blunder and became strangers to His Majesty.

It was said that he was going to bed at the end of his life, but no one knew how uncomfortable Tang He felt.

Suddenly, Tang He's hands began to tremble with excitement, but he was unable to lift them up.

Tang He's daughter felt something in her heart. She turned her head and looked outside. She was startled and quickly stopped the car.

Immediately afterwards, someone came over and said excitedly before he even got close: "Brother Tang, long time no see. I'm Xu San'er."

According to unofficial historical records, Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were playmates who grew up together and even had sworn sworn ties.

What's more, the three of them first got acquainted under Guo Zixing, and they followed Zhu Yuanzhang early on.

Although today is different from what it used to be, in private, Xu Da is really the youngest.

Tang He winked at his daughter frequently in excitement.

The daughter was both funny and sad. She quickly stood up and opened the car door, then knelt down and saluted: "Xin'er, see Duke Wei."

"It's Tang Xin. He's already so old. Please get up quickly. Why do you and your uncle keep seeing each other like that? I have time to come back this time, but I want to have a good time with Miao Jin. You two are about the same age, and we had the best relationship back then. , She has been thinking about you and missing you," Xu Da looked at Tang Xin, feeling deeply sad in his heart.

Several of Tang He's children and grandchildren died of illness and died in battle. In addition to the eldest daughter who was married in the early years, even the two daughters who married King Zhu Tan of Lu also met a fateful fate. Now there is only such a youngest daughter around him.

Alas, the Tang family can be regarded as the queen of meritorious service and the founding hero of the country, but it is sad to end up in such a state in their later years.

Tang He looked at Xu Da with envy in his eyes.

Historically, Xu Da should have died of illness in the 18th year of Hongwu. As a result, not only is he still alive, but his back ulcer was also cured by Zhu Zhen. After this period of repairs, in half a month, he was finally You can go to the ground and even travel.

That's why he could specially welcome Tang He here.

After all, Xu Da's sore was on his back and not elsewhere, so it did not affect his ability to go to the ground.

What's more, the Xu family and the Tang family are completely different. Xu Da also had a son who died young, but the other three sons and four daughters are still alive, and even the eldest daughter's children are old.

Xu Miaoyun's eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, is one year older than Zhu Miao, his uncle and his eighteenth uncle.

The Tang and Xu families are in two completely different situations, including Xu Da, who has always been favored by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was still in the court until the moment he fell. He was the number one military general and even the number one founding hero. Appreciate.

If Tang He hadn't made a blunder while drunk, why would this have happened?

Tang He's lips trembled and squirmed, but he was speechless.

Xu Da sighed, and suddenly his heart moved. He turned around and shouted: "By the way, where is Zhu Ming? Come here quickly, this is your Uncle Tang He."

In fact, Tang He was older than Zhu Yuanzhang, but even if Zhu Yu dared to call him uncle, he had to dare to agree.

As Xu Da shouted, Zhu Min came to the front of the car from behind Xu Da.

"Uncle Xu, please keep your voice down. You and Uncle Tang are both dukes, and I am still a vassal king. Don't disturb the people," Zhu Ming muttered.

Xu Da is so angry, is it your turn to teach me a lesson? And instead of saying he was afraid of being frightened, this kid said they were disturbing the people?

What kind of system?

"Stop talking nonsense, don't forget that this is what your father has asked you to do to treat Uncle Tang. If you dare not do your best, your father will have to whip you, and I will not plead for you. " Xu Da said threateningly.

"Tsk, if you had told me earlier, wouldn't I have known what to do if you had told me earlier?" Zhu Ming rolled his eyes, how could he be so begging for help?

But there is no way, one is the father-in-law, and there is his own father behind him, what can he do? What can we do?

Tang Xin, who was in the carriage, couldn't help but look up at Zhu Zhen. Hearing his interesting tone, complaining at the same time, and having to compromise, he felt a little bit fierce, which was very interesting.

At the same time, Tang Xin's heart moved, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and whispered: "Are you His Highness Zhu Chu, the King of Dian?"

Even she, who had been staying in Fengyang's hometown to serve her father, had heard of Zhu Chu's name, which was evident.

Zhu Ming grinned at Tang Xin and said, "Girl, do you mind if I get on the carriage? I am here to treat Uncle Tang on the order of my father. Don't worry about it."

"What is this girl? This is your Tang family girl," Xu Da reminded outside.

Zhu Miao turned his head and looked at Xu Da with an expressionless face, saying to his heart, father-in-law, do you know what the girl Xu Miaojin means in my mouth?

That was a smart move by Zhu Chu. He was afraid that distinguishing Xu Miaojin and Mu Qiu based on their main concubine and partial concubine would be suspected of favoring one over the other. After all, Mu Qiu's background was there, and he didn't want to neglect either of them.

So the girl he refers to actually means his wife.

They say Miaojin won't let you eat your favorite roast goose, so you'd better eat less of that.

Zhu Xi ignored Xu Da and waited for Tang Xin to close the door and tidy up while Tang Xin was in a hurry. After she got out of the car, she climbed into the carriage calmly.

Today Tang He returned to Beijing. Naturally, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who gave him the news, so there was a scene of Xu Da and Zhu Ming waiting here together. In fact, Weng and his son-in-law had just come down from the morning, and they rushed over impatiently.

Xu Da was also specially informed by Zhu Yuanzhang to attend the morning court today, otherwise he would have to rest at home for a month. After all, he was old and had just had surgery, so he had to take a good rest.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was also very concerned about Tang He's condition.

Again, it's not that Zhu Yuanzhang is old, but that he has a premonition that his destiny is about to end, and he still inevitably feels lonely before his death.

People who can be regarded as old brothers by Zhu Yuanzhang, even Feng Sheng and Fu Youde are not qualified, and even Guo Ying, his brother-in-law, has to stay behind.

Only Tang He, Xu Da and Li Shanchang are qualified to call Zhu Yuanzhang brothers.

At this time, even if I still hold grudge against Tang He for saying those words, it is no less than a complete betrayal. I treat you as a brother, but you are selling me for a price? He even said that he could seek refuge with Zhang Shicheng?

Why did Zhu Wenzheng end up under house arrest until death? It's not because Zhu Wenzheng also said that the worst possible outcome would be to seek refuge with Zhang Shicheng.

Even if Zhu Wenzheng, his nephew, is like this, it is indeed not easy for Tang He to have a good death.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer wants to care about this. He just hopes that in the last two or three years, he can enjoy his old age, even if there are a few old brothers around him to talk to.

In the carriage, Zhu Zhen looked at Tang He who was completely paralyzed in front of him, and he was also sighing. No matter how glorious you were when you were young, you still have to accept old age.

It is said that beauties age easily, but the same is true for heroes?

Time is like a butcher's knife. No matter you are a stunning beauty or a victorious general, you cannot reverse time and will be left behind by time.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

Tang He looked at Zhu Zhen blankly, slowly closing his desperate eyes.

Xu Da outside the door also sighed, and Tang Xin felt even sadder, her eyes turned red and she shed a few tears.

Zhu Ming coughed lightly and said, "What's wrong with you guys? I haven't started diagnosis and treatment yet."

"You," Xu Da was angry. Fortunately, he held it back. What would it be like if he also shed a few tears?

This brat.

Tang Xin opened her mouth, blaming in her heart, what happened to His Highness? Is this child's play time?

Zhu Ming never thought that his momentary emotion would cause such a misunderstanding. He did not dare to neglect it any more, and secretly called out the system interface with a sudden move in his heart.

Anyway, only he can see and touch the system interface. Even if he slaps the system interface on someone else's face, they won't be touched.

Therefore, Zhu Chu was not afraid of being accidentally bumped into by Tang He.

To be honest, Zhu Zhen didn't know anything about medical skills, and even though he had read the medical contents in the Huangdi Neijing in his mind before, he now suspected that Tang He's illness was actually caused by cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, which was not related to Tang He's illness. The so-called wind disease has nothing to do with it.

This is by no means caused by just the cold wind.

Sure enough, after Zhu Xi collected a drop of Tang He's blood and scanned Tang He's whole body with the system, he finally came to a conclusion after spending tens of thousands of resources just for the test cost.

Tang He did have a cerebral infarction.

In fact, if Tang He had intracranial hemorrhage, that is, cerebral hemorrhage, he would have died long ago.

Therefore, he was first unable to speak due to cerebral infarction, and then gradually became completely paralyzed as his condition worsened.

In fact, wind disease is stroke, including Yuchi Jingde in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that he was unable to move due to a stroke and eventually died of the disease.

Tang He originally liked drinking. Later, he was depressed for a time and suffered a stroke, which is also a cerebral infarction. This is understandable.

But the disease of cerebral infarction is not that easy. It is generally divided into drug treatment, interventional treatment and surgical treatment.

Drug treatment is generally used in the early stages of the disease.

However, Tang He was infected with rheumatism in the 23rd year of Hongwu. Now it is the 27th year of Hongwu, and it has been four years. Drug treatment is basically meaningless. It cannot cure the symptoms, let alone the root cause.

Interventional treatment is stent implantation, which involves implanting a stent percutaneously into intracranial and extracranial blood vessels to clear the necrotic neuropathy causing cerebral infarction and open up the blocked cranial nerves.

It's a pity that because the illness lasted for too long, I'm afraid the nerves that died from the disease have been completely blocked. If the stent is implanted, not only will it not be able to open the nerves, but it will block and compress the brain nerves, then Tang He will live to the end.

After thinking about it, in fact, with Tanghe's current condition, I am afraid that the only remaining option is a craniotomy, using craniotomy to decompress, or even partial brain tissue resection to relieve the pressure on the brain tissue.

Because part of the brain tissue may need to be removed, even if this operation is performed, not only is the operation risky, but if it fails, you will not even be able to get off the operating table.

More importantly, the patient only gets relief and wants to recover, which is impossible.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This time, he turned to the people outside the carriage and said, "Uncle Xu, Miss Tang, prepare for the funeral."

Tang Xin's eyes suddenly turned red, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying.

Although Xu Da was mentally prepared, he still felt sad.

"Send a letter to the Duke back to his home," Xu Da couldn't hide his sadness and choked with sobs.

Tang He was later canonized as Duke Xin by Zhu Yuanzhang, but at the duke level, which was naturally incomparable with the title of Duke Wei.

In fact, even if they are all Dukes, there are differences between the titles of Dukes.

This also applies to the feudal lord.

Take Zhu Chu's vassal title as an example. Initially he was the King of Min, and the land of the Min King was located in Min Mountain, which was a county.

As for his current king of Dian, Dian is a province, and it even used to be a country. Yunnan was called the Dian Kingdom. After all, it used to be the Duan Clan's Dali Kingdom.

Moreover, among the vassal kings, the King of Qin is respected and is the head of all kings.

Qin, naturally refers to Qin in the Qin Dynasty, which can be said to have a distinguished status.

Therefore, vassal titles are very particular, and Zhu Zhen also made great achievements. He was promoted to King of Dian only after easing the relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang.

You know, even Prince Ning, who controls the three guards of Duoyan, Daning is just a palace.

The King of Qin, King of Zhou, King of Jin, King of Yan, etc. were all named after their country, including the later King of Shu and so on.

Others use the country as their nickname, but you only use the prefecture and county as your nickname, so there is naturally a difference in level.

It was only after he became the King of Dian that Zhu Ming could be compared with Fourth Brother and the others and be regarded as a first-class king.

Zhu Ming got off the carriage and stood with Xu Da, watching the Tang family's motorcade drive towards the city with a heavy atmosphere, and couldn't help but feel deeply sad.

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Xi and couldn't help but ask: "Tell me the truth, is it really hopeless?"

Zhu Ming looked at Xu Da and said seriously: "At present, there is only one way to cure Uncle Tang He."

Xu Da was about to show joy when he heard Zhu Min continue to say: "That's a craniotomy. Uncle Tang may have suffered from intracranial blood vessel blockage due to years of alcohol abuse. Coupled with the compression of the cranial nerves, he lost his speech ability and was paralyzed." The main culprit. It’s not a wind disease at all.”

"He is already so old. If I open his skull, it is better to send him away with one knife. Even if he can be cured, so what? Uncle Xu, how long did it take for you to recover from just the operation on your back? It's not completely cured yet. It's a craniotomy, and even if you tell me that you won't blame me even if you die, I won't do it."

Zhu Ming sighed, he would never take this job.

What's more, he has nothing to do with Tang He. Even though Tang Xin is very beautiful, unlike Xu Miaojin and Mu Qiu who are as stunning as a goddess descending from the earth, Tang Xin is the gentle and pleasant type of Xiaojiabiyu, who is very attractive. And it didn’t feel amazing at first, but the more I watched it, the more comfortable it became, the more I watched it, the more I wanted to watch it, and the more I watched it, the better it looked.

In fact, this is the enduring type, because many beauties can have more or less stunning scenes several times, but it is difficult to always be stunning.

Tang Xin, on the other hand, seems inferior to Xu Miaojin at first glance, but the longer time passes, the less annoying she becomes. Even after you get used to it, you will find that you can no longer live without her.

But let me make it clear in advance that Zhu Chu didn't look at this girl. Apart from saying hello politely at the beginning, Zhu Chu really didn't pay attention to Tang Xin's appearance.

"Let's go and resume our duties with Your Majesty," Xu Da greeted Zhu Zhen, and the two of them got on another carriage one after another and rushed to the palace.

Xu Da also glared at Zhu Ming and said, "Tell me, you are already a boss, and you are still a prince. Why do you rely on me to get in the car?"

It turned out that Zhu Zhen disliked that his car was small and not spacious, so he followed Xu Da when he came here, and naturally he had to ride in his car when he went back.

"Don't be so stingy. Besides, I don't have to travel by carriage. Why do I need such a big carriage?" Zhu Ming muttered, mainly because he didn't expect that he could stay in the capital for so long before, so he decided to improvise. Just one click.

But now it seems that I really need to prepare a more spacious carriage.

Take a look at the Xu family carriage. This is a genuine four-wheel carriage. The interior is spacious and bright. Not only can tea and snacks be prepared, but you can even get a bed. Even if you want to sleep or find a place where no one is around, you can rest. .

cough cough cough.

While Zhu Ming was thinking wildly, he followed Xu Da into the palace and returned to Zhu Yuanzhang who had been waiting for news.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the results of Zhu Xi's test and heard him say that he needed a craniotomy and suggested that there was no need to go through all the trouble, he couldn't help but look sad.

"Zhen'er, actually, dad owes you uncle Tang He a lot. He is a loyal and loyal man, and almost all of them sacrificed their lives for our Zhu family. But now that he is old, he has ended up like this. At the beginning, I still hate the words he made when he was drunk. So I want to make it up to him. If not, one day I will grant you a marriage, then you can marry Tang Xin and Xu Miaojin together," Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Regardless of what Xu Da on the side thinks.

Zhu Chu’s face turned dark, no, Lao Zhu, you cheated on your son, right? You owe it to me to sell your son, right?

Zhu Ming gritted his teeth and sneered: "Dad, you told me earlier that it can be cured. Uncle Tang and He can cure it."
