Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 52 The Queen Mother is immortal (52)

Although Emperor Jianyuan hired many imperial doctors to pray for his mother, and even prayed for her in person, his mother was already over sixty years old after all. At the same time, she was not suffering from ordinary typhoid fever, so her condition was still getting worse.

If the Queen Mother had a wound infection, Bai Sheng might be able to do something about it. After all, she had wanted to create allicin for a long time out of concern that soldiers would be infected or injured.

Although it was delayed for several years because garlic could not be found, fortunately, garlic was successfully introduced from the Western Regions last year, and a lot of allicin has been successfully prepared.

Unfortunately, the medicine didn't work, and Bai Sheng couldn't help either.

I can only give him some more medicinal materials to comfort him.

On Gengwu Day in June, the Queen Mother could no longer bear to pass away. Changle Palace rang the death knell, and the national mourning kicked off. However, compared to others who were either busy or sad, Bai Shengze was relatively free. After all, the person who died was Her junior is her daughter-in-law. There are no elders to mourn or express condolences to her, so she just needs to go over and visit.

In the middle of the night, Emperor Jianyuan, Wei Zifu and others were keeping vigil at Changle Palace. Different from the low voices of others crying, Emperor Jianyuan was confused and worried at this time.

His father died more than ten years ago.

His mother died yesterday.

His uncle passed away a few years ago. Now, after careful calculation, the only elders who are still alive are his imperial grandmother and his aunt Liu Piao. The scary thing is that seven of his thirteen brothers have died so far. , even counting him, less than half are still alive.

Less than half!

Thinking about it, his father died at the age of forty-seven, and his grandfather was one year less, and only lived to be forty-six before his death, and he was already thirty this year.

How could he not think deeply about it, and worry about his own death because of his mother's death.

If his lifespan is similar to that of his father or grandfather, it undoubtedly means that he only has sixteen or seventeen years left to live. Such a small amount of time seems to him to be too little, not even as long as his mother's sixty-two years. , not to mention compared with Empress Dowager Bo, who lived to the age of seventy-two, and the still-living Imperial Grandmother, who will celebrate her eightieth birthday this year. He is now really afraid that he will not be able to survive his Imperial Grandmother. By then His son is young, in his teens and less than 20 years old. Why doesn't he want to live in the shadow of his imperial grandmother just like he did back then?

For a moment, he was really thinking a lot.

My mind was a mess.

The final result of these thoughts was that he wanted to imitate Qin Shihuang in seeking immortality. Qin Shihuang lived to be forty-nine years old, his grandfather lived to be forty-six years old, and his father lived to be forty-seven years old. He could not be like them.

Immortality can certainly be found. Now that he is about to conquer the Huns that Qin Shihuang has not yet conquered, why can't he find the immortality that Qin Shihuang has not found?
  At this moment, he was thinking about seeking immortality.

Suddenly became extremely determined.

In fact, before that, he was very curious about the things of gods. But at that time, he was young after all, and he did not feel the urgency of death. So curiosity was curiosity, and his main focus was on government affairs. But at this moment, he felt deep in his heart It can be said that I have completely made up my mind that I must seek immortality, or at least prolong my life.

Of course, determination is determination.

Funerals still have to go on.

At most, during the interval of observing filial piety, the imperial physician who once specially diagnosed the pulse of the Empress Dowager was summoned:
  "Ever since the emperor's grandmother suffered from eye disease, you..."

Originally, Emperor Jianyuan wanted to ask the imperial doctor Xia Qie how much he knew about the Queen Mother's body, why he could live so long, and whether he could analyze effective ways to prolong life based on the Queen Mother's physical condition. But soon he thought that it was Xia Qie's father Xia Yong who treated his imperial grandmother's eye disease. Xia Qie took over after Xia Yong died, and Xia Yong only lived in his early fifties. Asking these questions was purely pointless. ask.

So he immediately changed the topic and asked instead:

"How is the Queen Mother's health lately?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is in very good health. She is even much healthier than the pulse record my father left twenty years ago. She is free from illness and disaster."

Xia Qedang responded truthfully.

"Better than twenty years ago?

That is indeed a good thing. Based on this, do you think the Empress Dowager can easily live over a hundred years old? Just like the ancient people mentioned in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, they lived a hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Period, but their actions never faded, and they became auspicious? "

Emperor Jianyuan continued to ask step by step.

Now Xia Qie was stuck. It wasn't that he didn't dare to say it, but he didn't know how to say it. The Empress Dowager was the strangest patient he had ever seen. Oh no, she was the strangest person. She was obviously very sick to death. They even fell into a state of suspended animation, but they came back to life.

And then I have been living healthily until now.

Therefore, even if the Empress Dowager's pulse is very strong now, and if she lives with this pulse, it should not be a problem to live to be a hundred years old, he still does not dare to take this guarantee.

Therefore, after a while, he hesitated and said with a faint sweat on his back: "I can't say...

The Empress Dowager's pulse condition is peculiar. If her pulse condition is as it is now, she should be able to live over a hundred years old, but I don't know whether she can keep her movements going. "

"I have also read the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, which talks about how to prolong life. However, no matter how I read it, I don't think that the Queen Mother's actions and daily habits conform to any of the articles. On the contrary, my mother has been strictly following the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon in recent years. The Inner Canon describes how to maintain the body, and you also have some status among medical families. Even the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon was contributed by your medical family.

Is there any explanation that can convince me? "

Seeking gods and immortals was out of reach for the time being, and even if he searched for it, it would take some time, so Emperor Jianyuan temporarily decided to use Xia Qie to see if he could get some useful secrets for prolonging life from the doctors behind him.

If you want to get some good stuff at the bottom of the box from others, there are only two methods: coercion and inducement. Enticing him doesn't have any good ideas for a while, but coercing him is too familiar. As soon as his mind turns around, he easily thinks of a very good idea. The best channel for coercion is the Huangdi Neijing.

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon is a work by a medical doctor. It was compiled during the Warring States Period. It was not originally called this name, but because Huang Lao had always been the leader of the Qian Dynasty, they wanted to spread it more easily and not be excluded by the court, so they linked the content to the Yellow Emperor. And it was also dedicated to the court.

Now he suspected that there was something wrong with the Huangdi Neijing, and that the life-prolonging method in it had even damaged his mother's health, so the doctors had to give an explanation.

Hearing this, Xia Qie no longer broke into cold sweat on his back, but almost fainted with fright. He could only kneel down quickly and said: "Your Majesty, please go back and ask Rong Chen to ask the doctor.

My medical family will give an explanation to Your Majesty! "

　Historically, garlic was introduced in recent years and was brought back by Zhang Qian.
